Chapter 386 Sorry, I scored a goal

Perrin didn't feel much about Mourinho's evaluation of Drinkwater at the moment.

But a few years later, when he recalled the conversation between the two this year again, he only admired Mourinho at that time.

This Portuguese is a genius.

But at this time, Drinkwater is still the most shining player on the court.

His pass just now found Mahrez who went forward quickly.

After Mahrez received the ball, he broke through along the right wing.

The person guarding him on the wing was Xia Xing.

The two wings of Leicester City are flying together, and now they have become tit-for-tat opponents.

Mahrez dribbled the ball slowly, and Xia Xing didn't pounce on it.

For this old friend, Xia Xing knew him very well.

His dribbling skills are strong and his starting speed is also extremely fast.

If you rush forward rashly, you are likely to be passed.

Even though Xia Xing's strength is not bad now, he still doesn't rely on his strengths and fights steadily.

After several consecutive changes of direction failed to pass Xia Xing, Mahrez had no choice but to choose a cross.

After Drinkwater received the ball, he forced a long-range shot, and the ball slid out of the goal.

Leicester City missed a good chance.

At this moment, Mahrez looked at Xia Xing with resentment on his face.

"Xia, your defensive ability seems to have become stronger again."

Xia Xing shrugged.

"Your dribbling ability has also improved a lot, and I dare not take it lightly."

These words are not out of politeness, but Xia Xing's sincerity.

For Mahrez's technique, Xia Xing really felt that he had improved a lot.

Of course, this is also related to Xia Xing's departure from the team.

Without Xia Xing, Ranieri has higher requirements for Mahrez, and his assists and scoring tasks are even greater.

And this summer, he also got invitations from some teams, but there were no top giants.

For Mahrez, who is proud and arrogant, this is very uncomfortable.

So he chose to renew his contract with Leicester City, and then worked hard to improve his level, looking forward to a better future.

Unlike Vardy and Schmeichel, who are veterans of Leicester City, Mahrez used Leicester City as a springboard and did not have too deep feelings.

I wanted to have a great performance, but unfortunately, I couldn't do it today.

Facing the defense of his old friend Xia Xing, he naturally knew how difficult it was to defeat him.

In the next period of time, Mahrez broke through continuously, but failed to pass Xia Xing.

Either it was destroyed or it was blocked.

And Leicester City's attack from the right was completely blocked.

Not only that, but they also encountered bigger troubles.

In the 31st minute of the game, Xia Xing tackled Mahrez for the third time, and the ball fell to the feet of Pogba in the middle.

After Pogba received the ball, he sprinted decisively with the ball!

Facing Mendy's defense, he lightly changed directions continuously, and suddenly pulled the ball and sprinted!
Mendy was passed!

His defensive ability is good, but nowhere near Kanter's level.

Ranieri on the sidelines stomped the ground hard!

Trouble!
He guessed right, after Pogba passed Mendy, the road ahead was flat.

Central defender Huth went up and Pogba made a short pass into the penalty area!

As soon as Ibrahimovic gave way, he fooled Morgan!
Rooney plugs in from the back row and shoots from a small angle at a close angle!

The ball hits the net!

The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Manchester United open the scoring!

They finally scored!
The fans of the visiting team applauded excitedly!

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't help admiring: "Pogba's pass, Rooney's shot, Manchester United's offensive efficiency is extremely high, wonderful goal!"

Score a goal first, and Manchester United will play better next.

In the 40th minute of the game, this time it was Xia Xing and Pogba's two-to-one cooperation opportunity.

Pogba passed the ball to Xia Xing, and then accelerated himself forward!
If Xia Xing passes the ball, Pogba will have a good chance!
But Xia Xing didn't choose to pass the ball!

Everyone in Leicester City is paying attention to Pogba's movements, but Xia Xing chose the long pass!
Right back Valencia has already sprinted along the right!
At this time, we have come to the corner of the restricted area!
People arrive, ball arrives!
Valencia volleys!

The ball went straight to the corner!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
Even Carragher, Manchester United's arch-enemy, was full of praise this time.

"I'm really not used to praising Manchester United players, but this time is an exception!

"Xia's passing was unbelievable!
"If it is an ordinary midfielder, he will definitely choose to play a short pass with Pogba.

"After all, Pogba also ran out of position, the next step has a chance to score,

"But Xia finally chose the long pass!
"And he just didn't even look at Valencia down the right!

"That is to say, he has observed Valencia's running position a long time ago, and predicted his running speed and direction,
"And he can play the ball quickly, and he can control the strength and placement of the ball very well.

"This pass is world-class!"

Even Carragher can praise him, Xia Xing did it.

After scoring the goal, Valencia rushed to Xia Xing quickly, hugging his new friend tightly.

Since Xia Xing joined the team, he quickly gained the love of his teammates.

It's such a good feeling to be respected and valued.

With two goals in hand, Manchester United ended the first half.

After the intermission, Leicester City first made substitution adjustments.

He replaced Mendy and Huth, replaced Andy King and James, and the formation became 3-4-3.

Already conceding two goals, it can't be conservative anymore.

At the beginning of the second half, Leicester City performed well.

They have exchanges with Manchester United and are very active.

Especially Andy King and James, the continuous cooperation after playing, surprised the Manchester United players.

Especially James, his offensive sharpness in the frontcourt is no less than that of Mahrez.

The Leicester City fans in the stands shouted louder and louder.

Even Xia Xing was happy for his brother.

Well done James!
Even so, Xia Xing still wants to stop him with all his strength.

Brothers become brothers, opponents become opponents, two different things.

Xia Xing had been marking Mahrez just now, so he gave James more opportunities.

During this period, Xia Xing reduced the number of forward attacks and continued to sweep the defense in a large area, focusing on the side defense.

In this way, Xia Xing has the energy to watch James even when he is guarding Mahrez.

In the next period of time, the right side of Leicester City gradually fell silent.

In the 75th minute of the game, Manchester United also began to make substitutions.

Pogba and Rooney went off, and Herrera and Mata came off the bench.

With the addition of new aid, Manchester United's offense quickly achieved results.

In the 80th minute, James sprinted quickly and passed Herrera!

But he was instantly knocked down by Xia Xingfang!
It's a frontal tackle, no foul!
Mahrez rushed to defend, but Xia Xing got up quickly and protected the ball!
Swipe horizontally to accelerate the sprint!
Sprint towards the Leicester City penalty area along the middle!
This is the assault defense that Xia Xing is best at, and the old friends of Leicester City are very familiar with it!
Drinkwater sprints quickly and goes straight to the people!

He knew that it was difficult for him to steal the ball, so he just fouled it!

As long as he can stop Xia Xing, it doesn't matter if he gets a card!
But he didn't expect that Xia Xing made an emergency stop!

The ball is still poked forward!
Then quickly go around and catch the ball!

Beautiful man scored!
Drinkwater was shaken away!
Xia Xing kept on stepping, kicking and shooting!
35 meters away from the goal, the ball hit the net!
3 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
Their victory is set!

The excited teammates rushed to Xia Xing and hugged the hero who scored the goal tightly!
But Xia Xing didn't have the slightest smile on his face, and was even a little sad.

After his teammates dispersed, he lowered his head and waved his hand towards the Leicester City loyal stand.

Sorry, I scored a goal...
