Chapter 390 Just fight your body, just dry

When Xia Xing came off the bench, Pei Lan was still muttering.

"He said he has seen the problems of Stoke City, true or false..."

Mourinho's eyes are firm: "Xia never speaks big words, I believe him."

Unexpectedly, Xia Xing created a wonderful assist with his first pass just after playing!

Passed the ball across half of the court, and accurately found Martial who was going forward!
In this goal, the pass should account for more than half of the credit!

At this moment, Perrin was dumbfounded: "Such a pass is fine..."

And Mourinho kept nodding.

good, very good!

In fact, what Xia Xing said before his appearance made Mourinho's heart move at that time.

This young man has good skills and a good overall view, but it's hard to say how good he is at seeing the game.

Let him play to see?

In fact, Mourinho has already seen the opponent's loopholes.

Between the left back and the left central back, the frequency of the two's attacking is not stable, and sometimes there are some loopholes.

But it is too difficult to catch this loophole.

On the one hand, there are not many loopholes in them. After all, Manchester United's offense is not very fierce.

On the other hand, this fleeting time is too difficult to grasp.

Even if it can be caught, it is difficult to pass it on.

On the contrary, Martial's running position has become the easiest link.

After all, when the ball is passed, he runs and does it in one go. This is the basic quality of a striker.

That's the pass, it's so difficult.

In particular, Xia Xing's position is still to the left, farther away from Martial, and it is more difficult to pass the ball.

Therefore, Mourinho's firm words to Xia Xing are not very sure.

But at this moment, he was completely convinced.

This young man is awesome!

At this moment, Mourinho suddenly thought of Solskjaer, the substitute surprise soldier during Ferguson's time.

He used to be the strongest pawn on Manchester United's bench.

Maybe his technique is not the best, but his insight on the court is absolutely top-notch.

Able to quickly find out the opponent's loopholes, and then make targeted measures, a fatal blow after coming off the bench.

And today's Xia Xing is the same.

This wonderful assist turned Manchester United's situation instantly.

Although it was just an equalizer, Xia Xing's appearance gave the opponent great confidence!
Our organization core is here!
With Xia here, we will win!

It was the 60th minute of the game, and there was still half an hour before the end of the game.

Manchester United began to fire with full firepower, launching a rapid attack towards Stoke City's half-court.

Especially Xia Xing, his physical advantages are very obvious.

Facing a team as skilled as Stoke City, Xia Xing had no intention of competing with them.

Just fight your body, it's raw!
Several consecutive body collisions made Stoke City very overwhelmed.

Xia Xing, Fellaini, and Herrera are all aggressive types.

Under Xia Xing's defensive organization, Stoke's offense suffered repeated setbacks.

Although Manchester United also fought fiercely just now, they lacked integrity and the midfielders did not have much defensive focus.

But now, Xia Xing killed Shaqiri and cut off Stoke City's best passing point at once.

And Fellaini followed Anautovic closely, staring at No. 10 of Stoke City.

In this way, one high and one fast on the front line were misfired in an instant.

Stoke City's attack was fruitless, and their defensive pressure suddenly came up.

Every time Xia Xing steals the ball, he immediately launches a counterattack!

The sprint along the left side made Stoke City overwhelmed!

Luke Shaw, who was mediocre in the first half, also played his ability to assist and cooperated with Xia Xing tacitly!
Two consecutive twos and ones made Stoke City's defense very embarrassing!
In the 71st minute of the game, Xia Xing sprinted again with the ball!
Suddenly split the ball on the penalty area line and handed it to Luke Shaw who advanced forward!

Luke Shaw sprinted quickly and shot in the penalty area!
The ball went wide, only a little short!

Although there was no goal, Manchester United's offense continued.

This time it was an attack from the right, the cooperation between Herrera and Lingard.

Lingard's attack was also rubbed by the goalkeeper's fingertips, and he almost broke the goal.

With the continuous onslaught, Stoke City's defense was crumbling.

But they still defended steadily, did not concede a goal, and maintained a 1-1 draw.

Before Xia Xing came off the bench, they thought they could score three points in this game.

After Xia Xing came off the bench, they only wanted to take a point from Old Trafford, which is good.

But speaking of it, Stoke City's defense is really good.

Except for the defender's mistake in coordination just now, there are no major defensive loopholes.

After a few times of assisting defense and supplementary defense, they all accurately blocked Manchester United's passing position, leaving Xia Xing a little helpless.

On the left side, after defending Shaqiri, Xia Xing was also involved, which affected the offensive efficiency.

The left leaning of many players in Stoke City put Xia Xing under a lot of pressure.

Martial on the front line is not a center after all, and his ability to throw the ball is average. He received Xia Xing's pass twice in a row, which was wasted.

Now Xia Xing misses the feeling of having a center in the frontcourt.

It was Van Persie before, and now it is Ibrahimovic. Having a world-class center is equivalent to having a great fulcrum.

The current Martial obviously cannot do this.

If so, do it yourself!
At this time, the game has come to 85 minutes, and both sides have made several substitution adjustments.

Stoke City made substitutions, and the changes were all defensive positions.

Obviously, they want to defend the draw.

On Manchester United's side, Mourinho replaced Mata and Fellaini with Rashford and Mkhitaryan.

Two players with strong breakthrough ability came on the field and tried to create chances.

In fact, Mourinho also knows that it is best to change to a center forward.

However, Ibrahimovic and Rooney, the two center forwards in the team, were all physically exhausted. They just finished the away game two days ago and couldn't run anymore. They didn't even enter the 18-man squad for this game.

After the two wide players came on the field, they did create a lot of opportunities.

But as long as they approach the penalty area, they will be suppressed by Stoke City's defense.

The iron barrel defense is designed to overcome this technical winger.

At this time, the time has come to 88 minutes, and the ball returned to the midfield again.

Rashford passed back, handed it to Xia Xing behind him, and then quickly advanced.

But this time Xia Xing didn't pass the ball forward.

He controlled it slightly, and suddenly accelerated diagonally!
Go straight to the middle of the restricted area and accelerate!
Two Stoke City defenders quickly closed the door to defend!
But how can they keep it shut?

Xia Xing broke through the defense directly, and this time he advanced decisively, resolutely, and full of violence!
This attack broke Stoke City's midfield system!
By the time the defender makes the move, it's already too late!

Because Xia Xing didn't give them a chance!
38 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing kicked decisively and shot!

You know, one of the best ways to break dense defenses is to shoot from a long distance!
This long-range shot is powerful and heavy, like a flying meteor, straight into the upper right corner of the goal!
The speed is so fast and the power is so great that even the camera can't keep up with the field of view!

The Stoke City goalkeeper stretched out his hand to defend, but only felt a gust of wind!

The ball goes into the net!

"The ball went in!

"2 to 1!

"United scored the winning goal!
"Xia has become Manchester United's savior!
"His wonderful long-range shots are the perfect interpretation of the aesthetics of violence!

"Wonderful!"
