Star card system.

Mourinho, his wife and Mendes left Xia Xingjia very late that day.

Although Xia Xing kindly invited guests to stay overnight, he was still declined.

Mathilde, Mourinho accompanied Mendes in the back row.

"Stay at my house?"

"Row!"

"it is good!"

Although Mendes was more polite when facing Xia Xing, he was no stranger to Mourinho.

The two are true close friends, but their relationship with Xia Xing is still different.

In Mourinho's home, there is even a set of bedding and toiletries from Mendes.

It can be seen how the relationship between the two is.

"Jorge, rest early, I know you still have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow, good night."

After washing up, Mourinho said goodbye to Mendes and was about to close the door, but was stopped by Mendes.

"Jose."

"Ok?"

"You just talked about Xia and Pogba, so you should have reserved it."

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

"After all, our agent circle is more well-informed. I already knew about the fat man going to the Manchester United board of directors."

"Well, he does hate it, and I hate him."

"However, his words did have an effect, and your resistance was a bit extreme."

"What else? I have to let Woodward know that he must not interfere in the team's affairs, otherwise Manchester United will completely fall into the bottom."

"But you are too dangerous. The league lead is only 6 points left, hang."

"Don't worry, as long as Xia Xing returns to the core position of the organization, the team's performance will immediately recover."

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course! Xia is my favorite player! No one!"

"Well, let's wait and see how many surprises that young man can bring us."

As soon as the New Year passed on January 1, Manchester United resumed normal training the next day.

This is the cruelty of the Premier League.

Around Christmas and New Year, players in other leagues are still on vacation, and Premier League players have to face more heavy game tasks.

For example, Manchester United, they will usher in the No. 1 round of the Premier League on January 3.

An away game against West Ham.

On December 12, the team had just tied with Middlesbrough and was in poor form.

Three days later, they ushered in the second game of the weekly double match.

And there is a short New Year's break in between.

For the outside media and football experts, they are generally not optimistic about Manchester United.

Many people even think that Manchester United will even be upset away in this game.

You must know that when Manchester United suffered four consecutive draws, West Ham ushered in a wave of four consecutive victories.

Their league ranking also climbed from tenth to seventh.

It is within easy reach of the European Theater of War.

So in this home game, facing Manchester United who are in poor form, they don't just want a point.

West Ham coach Bilic formed a 4-3-3 formation with full attack power.

There is a trident consisting of Payet, Carroll and Antonio on the defense line. They have scored eight goals in a row in the last four games, and their morale is high.

In this game, West Ham played an onslaught.

On the Manchester United side, today they did not have a full lineup.

Because of double matches a week, several veterans rotated as substitutes.

Rooney, Carrick, and Ibrahimovic have all been rested.

Manchester United is still in a 4-2-3-1 formation for this game.

Goalkeeper De Gea,
Back four Ashley Young, Smalling, Phil Jones, Valencia,
Double midfielder Pogba, Fellaini,

Three midfielders Xia Xing, Herrera and Mkhitaryan,
Center Rashford.

Such a starting lineup is not currently Manchester United's strongest strength, but it can only be so.

Seeing Manchester United lined up in such a way, West Ham coach Bilic was secretly delighted.

There are three points to play!

In the locker room of the home team, Bilic warned the players: "Attack at the beginning! Manchester United is like a tiger made out of mud! You can kick them away with one kick!"

In the visiting team locker room, Mourinho is also making the final deployment.

In addition to tactical arrangements and opponent analysis, he emphasized again.

"Xia is the core of the team in this game, and he will sort out the team's offensive and defensive transitions!"

"Oh!!!"

The teammates responded loudly, in a good mood!

Pogba felt a little uncomfortable.

During this period of time, Pogba played the core of the playmaker, and he enjoyed it, but he has not been able to lead the team to victory.

Now, when Xia Xing became the team's No. [-] man again, the teammates were very excited.

Everyone is full of trust in Xia Xing!
In the absence of the captain and vice-captain Rooney and Carrick, Xia Xing, wearing the captain's armband, stood at the front of the team and walked out of the locker room!

Today's Xia Xing will lead the team to clean up the decline and win the victory!

In this game, West Ham kicked off first.

The referee's whistle sounded, and West Ham launched a fierce attack!
Payet's continuous dribbling on the wing went straight to Manchester United's penalty area!

However, Valencia put the shovel directly and knocked down the French attacker!
The referee didn't respond!
No foul on defense, strike!

Valencia fell to the ground and poked the ball into the midfield before the opponent grabbed the second point!
Pogba catches the ball!
At this time, Pogba still wants to go forward like the previous two games!

He passed Xia Xing obliquely, and then made a quick move!
However, Xia Xing didn't return the ball to him this time.

Xia Xing, who was catching the ball, suddenly started to accelerate along the left lane!
Just like Payet's side breakthrough just now, it is extremely sharp!
West Ham's two defensive players go up!
Xia Xing hit the ball vigorously, and then directly knocked the two of them away with his body!

What a shock!
At this time the ball has come to the left side of the penalty area!
Rashford in the middle is already in place, with Herrera behind him, and Mkhitaryan at the far end is also accelerating!
Xia Xing has three points to pass the ball to!

However, this time he did not choose to pass the ball!

He kicked and shot directly!

For three consecutive games, Xia Xing did nothing.

Not only did he not score, he didn't even get an assist.

Although it was Mourinho's arrangement to put him in charge of defense, Xia Xing was also very unhappy with his state.

He is eager to help the team score goals!
At this moment, he couldn't hold back his heart!

He didn't have a decent shot in three consecutive games, and the light was intercepted by the backcourt defense!

Today, I will give you a kick to show you the power of the Golden Globe winner!
At this moment, it was on the left side of the penalty area, and even the ball was about one meter away from the line of the penalty area. Xia Xing kicked directly!

This kick was earth-shattering, a direct violent volley!
The ball has almost no arc, and it goes straight to the upper corner of the near corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Randolph is guarding the middle, preventing Manchester United players from grabbing points after Xia Xing passes the ball!
Unexpectedly, Xia Xing shot directly!

He moves quickly towards the near corner of the goal!

Arrived almost at the same time as the ball!
However, he didn't have time to make a move!
Right next to his ear, the ball brushed his hairs and blasted into the net!
The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Xia Xing's critical attack!
Manchester United's lead! (end of this chapter)
