Chapter 368 Assault!The final word!
In the first two games, Manchester United scored 7 goals and conceded 1 goal.

Ranked first in the Premier League!

Such a start made Manchester United fans very happy.

Mourinho's approval rating soared rapidly.

On August 8, Manchester United ushered in the third league game of the season.

Home game against Hull City.

Hull City is a bit fierce this season, they have won two consecutive victories at the beginning.

Not only defeated the relegation opponent, but also won the defending champion Leicester City.

The strength is quite fierce.

Are they going to stage a Leicester City miracle this season?
This game is still a home ball, facing Manchester United, their state is still the same!
Not long after the opening, Hull City used the counterattack to almost score!

Pogba lost the ball in the middle and was counterattacked by the opponent!

De Gea rubbed the ball with his fingertips, and the ball hit the post and bounced off the baseline.

Manchester United almost conceded the ball.

However, their good luck ended here.

In the 24th minute of the game, Pogba, who was a little impetuous, entangled with his opponent in the middle again!
Shovel fiercely!

The opponent striker fell to the ground!

The referee's whistle sounded!
Back tackle, red card sent off!
This red card made Mourinho on the sidelines beat the ground with anger.

This Pogba is so reckless!

It's a great victory, now it's abolished!
Faced with this situation, Mourinho decisively made substitution adjustments.

He replaced Mkhitaryan with Herrera.

As a result, Manchester United's midfield combination became Xia Xing, Carrick and Herrera.

Only Rooney and Ibrahimovic are left on the front line.

Mourinho did not retreat significantly, and he also hoped that the team could strive for goals.

But under the onslaught of Hull City, Manchester United did not have much advantage.

The formation change with one less player puts Manchester United at an obvious disadvantage in both offensive and defensive areas.

This season's Hull City is like punching a master to death, extremely vicious, without any rules.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Rooney was injured and fell to the ground in the fight with his opponent.

He had just returned from injury when he suffered another minor injury.

Mourinho was so angry that he scolded his mother on the sidelines, but he was still helpless.

He could only replace Rooney with Lingard, who has excellent running ability.

The two sides ended 0-0 in the first half and continued in the second half.

But for Manchester United in the second half, the pressure was even greater.

On the one hand, they beat one less person, and their physical energy was exhausted.
On the other hand, the referee's whistle today was obviously too light, and Hull City's fight was too fierce.

When Carrick was tackled by his opponent again, Mourinho was completely angry!

"Is this a football game! Didn't the referee bring a whistle today!"

The fourth official frowned, but he was also a little puzzled by the referee's decision.

Indeed the whistle is light today.

For example, in this game, even Carrick was injured again, and the opponent just got a yellow card.

On Manchester United's side, three players have already left the field.

If you look at it this way, Pogba's red card at the beginning seems unreasonable.

But it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.

Mourinho replaced Carrick with Fellaini, and Manchester United played under more pressure.

Hull City used three consecutive substitutions, replacing the three players who had just received cards, and replaced them with new players.

In this way, they can shovel fiercely again.

At this time, it has come to the 75th minute of the game, and the score is still 0-0.

For Mourinho, as long as this game can get a draw, it is considered good.

Most Manchester United players think so too.

But some people think otherwise!

Xia Xing defended the midfield several times in succession, and tackled them neatly!

Even Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise: "Xia's defensive ability is really top-notch in the world! Whichever team has him, can definitely put on the most stable bus!"

Xia Xing swept up a large area, Fellaini and Herrera also defended desperately, Lingard also frequently returned to defense.

Manchester United's midfield defense is very tough, not losing to the opponent.

However, this is not enough!
In the 87th minute of the game, Xia Xing fought against the opponent in the midfield again!
This time it's melee!
He directly hit two defenders!
A strong body makes the opponent's lower back powerless!
Lingard and Ibrahimovic move quickly!
Xia Xing's short pass forward!

Lingard catches the ball and hits it horizontally!

Xia Xing quickly ran to the place!
Short pass forward again!

Ibrahimovic himself receives the ball and passes it back!

Xia Xing has come to the restricted area line!
Roll the ball and shoot with your feet!
The other two central defenders rushed forward!
But it's too late!

The ball hit the bottom right corner of the net!
The goalkeeper can't make a save!

"The ball went in!

"1 to 0!

"United finally broke the deadlock at the last minute!

"They played too aggrievedly in this game!
"First, one person was sent off at the beginning, and then two people were kicked and injured by the opponent!
"What's even more exaggerated is that no one was sent off for Hull City playing such a brutal way of playing?
"Today's penalty is really indescribable, haha.

"But fortunately, Xia scored the winning goal at the last moment!
"With Manchester United's captain and vice-captain injured,
"Their third captain showed his might!

"It was a fantastic goal!"

The fans of the visiting team in the stands cheered wildly, and the Manchester United players on the pitch were also extremely excited.

But Xia Xing was not too happy too early.

He ran to the sidelines because he saw Mourinho calling him.

Mourinho is also very clear, don't worry about being happy now, there are countless possibilities for the game.

Xia Xing accepted Mourinho's on-the-spot arrangement on the sidelines and nodded frequently.

Returning to the court, Xia Xing completely returned to the top of the penalty area.

This time he took on the important task of defending in the middle, and Lingard returned to the left to participate in the defense.

In this way, Manchester United's formation became 4-4-1.

Only Ibrahimovic was left in the frontcourt as a counterattack point.

But soon, Ibrahimovic also came back when defending corner kicks, playing as a central defender in the penalty area.

In this way, all Manchester United retreated!
For them, keeping this ball is victory!

Hull City launched a bloodthirsty onslaught!

They are desperate!
Crazy collision outside the restricted area!
Even Xia Xing and Fellaini were under great pressure.

This damn SB referee!
You don't have a whistle!
Just don't blow it?

Hull City was pampered and brought down Ashley Young and Lingard on the wing in a row.

Xia Xing rushed forward angrily, but was blocked by Fellaini, who kicked him down first.

This time the referee's whistle blew and Fellaini fouled!
Under the boos of the fans of the visiting team, the referee was not bad and did not give a card.

A free kick was thrown into the penalty area, and Ibrahimovic jumped high and made a header to clear the siege!

The ball fell to Xia Xing outside the penalty area!

Facing the defense, Xia Xing pulled and buckled!
Passed the opponent's striker!
Art masters are bold!
Take the ball to the left!
accelerate!
Break through the defense!

Keep sprinting with the ball!

The other side had no choice but to pull Xia Xing down!

The referee's whistle sounded again!

But this time it was not a foul, but the game was over!
This farce-like competition has finally come to an end!
But the best part is just beginning...
