Chapter 814: European League battle, old friends reunited
Every time I see Mourinho, Xia Xing always misses the days with him.
Mourinho is an idealist, and so is Xia Xing.
It was this drive to do everything for victory that made the two become good friends.
If Mourinho was still at Manchester United, Manchester United would be more than that now.
Xia Xing has always thought so.
It's not that he doesn't like Solskjaer, but he is very aware of Solskjaer's situation.
He is a very good coach, has a great character and a great personality.
Especially in terms of encouraging players, he has achieved the ultimate.
But it is this kind of coaching method that does not criticize the players that makes it difficult for this Manchester United to have a strong ability to withstand pressure.
Especially young players such as Rashford and Greenwood are often complacent.
If it weren't for a super giant like Xia Xing, they might have drifted away.
But when Mourinho was at Manchester United, if anyone performed poorly, the Portuguese would really scold him.
Show no mercy.
There is also the strictness of training and competition, Mourinho is also quite shameless.
He has to deal with situations like lateness and lack of respect for discipline.
Roma are lucky to have Mourinho.
Xia Xing admires Mourinho very much, but if he could quantify his emotions, he would find that Mourinho admires him even more.
Countless superstars in today's international football have played under Mourinho, but when it comes to the best one, it is Xia Xing.
Talented, physically strong, fast, outstanding, hard-working, and capable of leadership.
Who doesn't like such a star?
After chatting with Xia Xing for nearly an hour, Mourinho was the first to say goodbye in a friendly manner.
"Xia, I know Manchester United's discipline. You can't stay away for too long."
"That's true. If possible, I would really like to talk to you all night long."
"Haha, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's talk later."
"Then why don't you wait for a few minutes? I'll leave from the back door first, and you can sit there for a while. How about that?"
"You are really well-intentioned in order to avoid reporters, haha. Okay, I will listen to you."
Xia Xing put on sunglasses, a hat, and even a wig, making it impossible for unfamiliar people to recognize him.
He waved goodbye to Mourinho.
Returning to the hotel room and lying on the bed, Xia Xing received a message from Mourinho.
"Xia, to be honest, I couldn't help but want to say a word to you countless times just now.
"That is an invitation to join Roma next season.
“But I know very well that this is impossible and unrealistic.
“Even if it were possible, I wouldn’t want to.
"Rome is too weak now and cannot support your strength at all.
"So even if you don't want to be at Manchester United,
“You should also go to a team of Huang Saren’s level.
"I can't harm you because of my appreciation for you.
"But speaking of it, Manchester United does have a lot of problems now.
"It's not Solskjaer's problem, it's the management's problem.
"Your road will only be harder in the future.
"Take care,
"Xia,
"If one day,
"When my team is qualified to invite you,
"I will definitely miss you and extend an olive branch,
“I couldn’t be more excited for us to work together again,
"create a miracle."
Join forces again to create miracles.
This sentence is so tempting.
But now Xia Xing still belongs to Manchester United.
Let’s talk about the future after the Europa League final... Manchester United defeated Roma by a big score and got a ticket to the Europa League final.
On another field, Arsenal and Villarreal were also locked in a fierce battle.
It’s hard to get a ticket to the Europa League final.
In the first round, Villarreal plays at home.
Faced with his predecessor, Huang Qian coach Emery is full of energy.
His coaching at Arsenal did not go well, and he was unwilling to leave.
Now, he is eager to prove his worth.
As for Arteta's rookie coach, although he has some skills, he does have too little experience.
From a coaching perspective, Arsenal was at a disadvantage in this game.
In terms of player health, Arsenal is not as good as its opponents.
The main center Lacazette is absent due to injury, which leaves Arteta somewhat stretched.
Faced with the dilemma of lacking major generals, especially the lack of centers, Arteta decided to take a risk.
In this game, he made a surprise move and moved the midfielder Odegaard, who is good at passing and shooting, to the center position.
The player, who is on loan from Real Madrid, has proven his worth at Arsenal this season and has become an integral part of the team.
He will definitely be bought out next season.
Arteta's move is also based on Arsenal's previous tactics.
Arsenal also encountered a similar situation when no one was available at the front line. Wenger once pushed Fabregas to the front line and let him focus on the attack.
The effect is good.
He was even later loaned by Barcelona and the Spanish national team, and for a certain period of time, Fabio continued to be on the offensive line.
In this game, Arteta also expects Odegaard to win unexpectedly.
But unfortunately, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.
Arteta is not Wenger, and Odegaard is not as good as Fabregas.
This game lacked a pillar center, and Arsenal's final attack was always almost meaningless.
Nicolas Pepe on the left created many opportunities, but the final kick was just a hair’s breadth away.
The talented young player Saka on the right performed positively, but his inexperience in handling the ball was regrettable.
Compared with the Gunners, Huang Qian's offense is much sharper.
In the fifth minute of the game, they scored first with a quick push.
Chukwueze's assist, Terry Gross' shot, and the ball hit the net!
1 is better than 0!
Huang Qian took the lead to break the deadlock!
In the 18th minute of the game, this time it was Huang Qian's continuous multi-foot coordination in the midfield, which was very exciting.
Compared to Arsenal, who performed poorly today, Huang Qian players used their skillful skills to tell their opponents - this is the art of passing and controlling!
Continuous stomping pass, forward Paco shot low in front of the goal!
Arsenal goalkeeper Leno fell to the ground to save!
The ball was blocked!
Wonderful!
Arsenal escaped disaster!
In the 29th minute of the game, Huang Qian had a corner kick opportunity.
Forward Moreno headed back, and center back Albiol headed from behind!
This header was very powerful and the angle was tricky!
Goalkeeper Leno had no time to react!
The ball hit the net!
2 is better than 0!
The former Real Madrid central defender is excellent both offensively and defensively, and has accomplished amazing feats!
Huang Qian scores another goal!
They extended their lead!
At the Love Song Stadium, they were in great shape today!
But just when they were looking forward to scoring another goal and sealing the victory, Arsenal used a quick counterattack to create a good opportunity.
Nicola Pepe received Smith Rowe's pass, quickly advanced, passed two people, and rushed into the penalty area!
Facing the overwhelming advance, Huang Qian's right back Foyt made a decisive tackle and knocked down Pepe from the side!
The referee's whistle sounds!
Penalty kick!
Great opportunity for Arsenal! (End of chapter)
