Chapter 802 Stumbling

Solskjaer's concerns are valid.

Because for the next period of time, countless media will be discussing Manchester United's poor state and Solskjaer's expected dismissal time.

Some people say it's too soon. The decision should be made after Manchester United plays Liverpool.

It's 1-6 against Tottenham, but it's 0-7 against Liverpool?
Some Manchester United fans immediately retorted.

Shit!

No matter how bad our Manchester United team is, we still won’t lose to Liverpool 0-7!
Even if a dog is tied up, the score will not be this!
Others say Solskjaer will help the team regain its form. After all, Manchester United still has captain Xia Xing.

He is a superstar of Manchester United and a new legend of Manchester United.

After only five seasons with the club, he has become a new legend by the fans.

Xia Xing did it.

But now that Manchester United is in trouble, the fans' biggest expectation is not the head coach, but the captain.

And Xia Xing lived up to expectations.

A disastrous defeat did not make him depressed, but instead aroused his stronger fighting spirit.

Five days later, in the fifth round of the Premier League, Manchester United played Newcastle away.

Manchester United played a hearty offensive football.

Xia Xing organized the offense in the frontcourt and frequently fed the ball to the front three.

Before the first half was over, Manchester United was already leading 3-0.

Rashford, Greenwood and James each scored one goal.

Manchester United is in full swing.

After changing sides in the second half, Solskjaer replaced Greenwood and replaced him with new aid Cavani.

The 33-year-old Uruguayan veteran has started one game and been a substitute in three games this season, but has not scored a goal.

His future at Manchester United has also been clouded.

But in this game, he finally came back to life.

Xia Xing frequently made crosses from the wing and fed him high balls.

Cavani also used his strong body to squeeze away his opponents and grab consecutive points.

Although he is old and his speed has dropped seriously, his body is not strong enough.

In the 78th minute of the game, Cavani received a half-high pass from Xia Xing.

He used his body to get into the main position and kicked off to shoot!
The ball hit the net!

4 is better than 0!

Manchester United scores another goal!
At this moment, Cavani was finally able to enjoy the cheers and applause given to him alone by Manchester United fans!
After leaving Paris angrily, Cavani rejected several big contracts, hoping to continue to prove his strength in the top European leagues.

Now, he did it!
The strong body rushed towards Xia Xing and hugged him tightly!
“Man, your passing was so good!”

"Your shot is so wonderful! You are worthy of being one of the top three strikers in the world, awesome!"

Xia Xing's words gave Cavani a lot of face.

Speaking of the top three in the world, that was a long time ago.

While playing for Napoli in Serie A, he scored more than 20 league goals every season, and even scored more goals in the Champions League and cup. After joining Paris, he has always been the team's scoring machine. At his peak, he was definitely one of the top three forwards in the world, and was even called the best center at the time.

Now, at the age of 33, he can still rely on his rich experience and excellent shooting skills to defeat Manchester United!

In the end, Manchester United defeated Newcastle with four goals.

Looks like the status is back?

No, the team was in trouble again.

The opponents in the next two rounds are Chelsea and Arsenal, strong opponents.

In the end, after two games with one draw and one loss, the ranking fell again, and even ranked among the top six.

Rumors of Solskjaer's dismissal are once again flying around. But then, Manchester United did return to form.

From the eighth to the eleventh round, in four consecutive games, Manchester United played more and more smoothly.

3比1战胜埃弗顿，1比0小胜西布朗，3比2赢下南安普顿，3比1挑落西汉姆。

A wave of four consecutive victories has brought Manchester United back to the top four!
The next highlight is the Manchester derby.

Facing an opponent with a strong lineup, Manchester United did not give up in this game. They were full of confrontation.

What's more important is their defensive hardness, which makes Guardiola's opponent very uncomfortable.

In the end, the game ended in a score of 0-0, which was considered a reasonable result.

Compared to Manchester City's lineup, Manchester United is obviously much inferior.

Especially in the midfield and backfield, Manchester City's defense line is worth 200 million, and Manchester United is simply incomparable.

Fortunately, Xia Xing retreated to defend and helped the team seal a clean sheet.

However, in terms of offense, Manchester United is still a little behind.

The previous 0-0 draw with Chelsea and 0-1 loss to Arsenal were similar situations.

Manchester United's biggest problem now is the lack of top shooters.

Playing against Everton, Southampton and West Ham, veteran Cavani has scored goals in all of them and is in good form.

But facing top clubs like Manchester City, Chelsea, and Arsenal, he couldn't play well.

After all, his body is not as good as before. Facing the defense of tough defenders, it is difficult for him to stand a chance.

Coupled with the opponent's rapid attack, Xia Xing's defensive retracement increased, which made Manchester United's offensive power insufficient.

Manchester United's overall tactics this season have hardly changed much compared to last season, except for one person.

Summer trip.

上赛季他作为4-2-3-1那个突前的前腰，3的中间位置。

However, the defensive pressure is extremely high this season. For the sake of safety, Solskjaer often withdraws him and partners with Matic as a midfielder.

In this way, the defense is indeed more stable, but the offense is much weaker.

Therefore, my performance during this period has been stumbling and has not been stable enough.

Playing against Manchester City, they managed to tie with a clean sheet with their tough offense. In the next three games, Manchester United's condition improved again.

In the first battle against Sheffield United, Manchester United narrowly won 3-2.

In the unfavorable situation of Jones being sent off, Manchester United relied on Xia Xing's two long passes to help the striker score two goals and achieve a reversal.

Three days later, in the home game against Leeds United, Manchester United even won a 6-2 victory.

You must know that in England, Leeds United is Manchester United's biggest enemy.

The two teams have a long history of grievances. Since the British Civil War, the residents of the two places have had a blood feud.

This hatred has also continued on the football field.

Facing their mortal enemy who returned to the Premier League, Manchester United gave their opponent a disastrous defeat.

Manchester United blossomed a lot in this game, with Rashford, B Fee, McTominay and James all scoring goals.

There is still no suspense about the best of the game. Xia Xing scored five goals and assisted with five long passes to help the team win the battle of glory.

As a defensive midfielder, Xia Xing completed the defensive task perfectly. The only two goals conceded were Rojo's own goal after a corner kick, and the other was a direct free kick from the opponent.

Under Xia Xing's defensive leadership, Manchester United did not score in sports battles.

This victory made Solskjaer, who was still a little shaken in his coaching position, much more stable.

After the game, Solskjaer sighed as he listened to the cheers and cheers that shook the Old Trafford stadium.

This stumbling league journey is really one moment at a time... (End of this chapter)
