Chapter 416: How about giving Pogba more opportunities?
Standing on the court, Pogba felt very good.

Because he was finally able to make his own decisions.

The current Manchester United belongs to him!
Yes, he did think so.

In addition to his amazing skills, Xia Xing's biggest highlight this season is his physical fitness.

Xia Xing was able to play almost every game, and played 90 minutes with plenty of energy.

This is very powerful.

Pogba can even partner with Xia Xing in every game.

Even if he wins, Pogba always feels that there is something wrong.

Now that Xia Xing is gone, he has become the overlord of the midfield by himself!
Just want this feeling!
Moreover, Rooney and Carrick, the captain and vice-captain, were not present, so the offensive and defensive rhythm of this team was almost decided by him alone!

Just after the start of the second half, Pogba made a blast!
Although the shot didn't go in, it flew out of the baseline against the goal post, and it was so powerful that the opponent's goalkeeper didn't respond.

The visiting fans applauded.

The score is now 0-0, and Manchester United fans are eagerly waiting for the team to break the deadlock.

Five minutes later, Pogba made another diagonal pass, and the ball found the fast-sprinting Martial.

Martial pushed the far corner and the ball slid out of the goal.

Only by a little bit.

Even so, Pogba's pass still received applause from the fans.

Next, with Pogba's control, Manchester United's midfielder improved significantly, changing the situation of being overwhelmed by opponents in the first half.

In the opening 20 minutes of the second half, Manchester United and their opponents exchanged offense and defense, and had three excellent opportunities, all of which were close to scoring.

Even Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't help admiring.

"Manchester United is really full of talents! Just replaced Xia, and now Pogba is here again! This young French midfielder is definitely a top talent! I even think his sense of the ball is the closest I have ever seen to Zidane A French genius! The passing and shooting just now are very clever and spiritual!"

Carragher curled his lips: "So Xia is thriving at Manchester United, perhaps at the expense of his opponent's performance, to fulfill his Golden Globe Award."

Alan Shearer: "What you said is a bit too much..."

Carragher: "Look at when Xia was on the court, at least Pogba didn't have as much freedom and opportunities as he does now."

Alan Shearer did not refute this time.

This is true.

Any wealthy team will face this situation. There are many talented players in the team, but the ball rights are limited and must be allocated reasonably.

Even for Ronaldo, who has won four Ballon d'Ors, there are many black fans who say that he seized the ball from Benzema and Bale, affecting the number of goals scored by the two.

But when Ronaldo is occasionally injured, Benzema and Bell's goals are clear at a glance.

There is no doubt that the team can give the ball and fire to a person, which proves that this person is absolutely at the top level.

For example, in Barcelona, ​​Harvey and Iniesta don't have this problem. The dual-core play style of the two as the core of each other is very suitable for the lineup configuration of top stars of the same level.

But there is obviously a gap between Xia Xing and Pogba now.

But today, Xia Xing, who is in poor form, is obviously not included, and he is obviously not as good as Pogba at the moment.

In the 71st minute of the game, Pogba found Rashford with a long pass. Rashford caught the ball and scored a single goal!

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!

This goal made Manchester United fans excited!
Pogba rushed to the sidelines and excitedly interacted with the fans!

Even Mourinho was all smiles.

This French boy is really nice!
If he can be more stable and more disciplined, then he will definitely become the world's top star!
Even become the next Manchester United player to win the Ballon d'Or!
With the ball in hand, the Manchester United players are in a good mood.

But the poor state of the team today is overall.

In the 85th minute of the game, a counterattack from Crystal Palace, Zaha received the ball and ran wildly with the ball!
Pogba defended, but Zaha quickly changed direction and passed him!

Then, Zaha sprinted all the way along the right wing into Manchester United's penalty area!

Three in a row!

Low shot through the net!

1 to 1!Crystal Palace scored an absolute goal!
The fans of the home team cheered loudly!
Carragher pouted in the live broadcast room: "The former Manchester United player hit Manchester United hard, making their three-point hope about to fail. This shot made Pogba's efforts in vain. He was in excellent form in the second half of the game. If he Substitute Xia earlier, maybe Manchester United will score more goals, maybe they don't have to face this situation of being tied."

Alan Shearer shook his head: "If Xia is still on the field, then he will face Zaha's breakthrough directly on the wing. This goal will probably not appear in nine out of ten. After all, Xia's defensive ability is far superior to Borg's." bar."

Mourinho on the sidelines also shook his head again and again, dissatisfied with the conceded goal.

But even if the tactics were adjusted, the last few minutes failed to allow Manchester United to overtake.

When the final whistle sounded, Manchester United had no choice but to get a draw.

The score of 1 to 1 is really a pity.

But even so, Manchester United fans are still not panic.

After all, their lead is still double digits, so there is no rush.

Mourinho is in no rush either.

But someone is worried.

On the second day after returning from Crystal Palace, the Manchester United team rested, and Mourinho also gave the coaching staff a day off.

On this day, except that he was still in the office looking through the opponent's information for the next few rounds, the training ground was empty.

At this moment, the landline phone on the table rang suddenly.

"Hi, I'm Jose."

"Jose, I'm Ed."

"Oh, Ed, I didn't expect it to be you calling."

The person who called was Ed Woodward, the CEO of Manchester United.

He has been with the Manchester United club since 2005 and became the executive vice chairman of Manchester United in 2012.He is a die-hard Manchester United fan and a typical professional manager.

That's right, he's more like a manager than a footballer.

At Manchester United, he has contributed a lot, which cannot be denied, but most of these credits have appeared in the commercial field.

He made Manchester United, which has been depressed year by year, still rank among the best in the business field, and his ability to collect money is world-class.

But he doesn't care about things in the football field.

At Manchester United, he had a nickname - "The Specter".

This is because he is different from his predecessor, David Gill, who often appears at the Carrington training ground. Woodward basically does not show up, so Manchester United players call him a "ghost", ironically that the CEO rarely appears at Carrington. Dayton communicated with the players.

But this is also his characteristic, he only cares about making money, regardless of other things.

On this game rest day, he actually called Mourinho, which made Mourinho very puzzled.

"I guessed that you were in the office. I'm going to find you now. Are you free?"

"If you're free, come here. But I still want to know in advance, why are you looking for me?"

"Haha, you're still such an impatient person. Well, I'll tell you in advance."

"All ears."

"I hope you can give Pogba more chances, how?"
