Star card system.

In the 30th minute of the game, Xia Xing was replaced by Mourinho with Mata.

Xia Xing, who ended up on the stage, was stunned.

"Coach, why did you replace me so early?"

"Didn't we agree, as long as the victory of the game is determined, I will replace you in advance."

"Can't you wait for me to finish the first half..."

"Redding kicked too hard, I'm afraid you'll get hurt, so come down and rest."

Mourinho put his arms around Xia Xing with a smile and asked him to sit down and rest next to him.

Well, there is no need to take a shower, after all, I didn't sweat much.

Leading by three goals, Manchester United has already beaten Reading.

Xia Xing rested, and Manchester United was absolutely fine.

In the end, Martial and Mata each scored a goal, setting the score at 5-0.

In the first round of the FA Cup this season, Manchester United easily advanced.

In the next round, Manchester United will face Wigan Athletic, another underdog.

After winning the FA Cup, the next step is the EFL Cup.

Although the next semi-final is more important, Mourinho still sent a rotation lineup.

On the one hand, because the opponent in the semi-finals is the relegation team Hull City, they are very weak.
On the other hand, Manchester United will usher in the double red club in the second half of the season in a few days.

Liverpool are coming to Old Trafford.

For Manchester United fans, winning the game means more than the EFL Cup semi-finals.

Xia Xing still started this game, and Mourinho sent half of the main players.

Pogba is among them.

A few days before this game, Pogba was in various competitions.

On the training ground, he suddenly became much more serious.

All because the next opponent is Hull City.

At the beginning of this season, Manchester United played away against Hull City in the third round of the league.

Manchester United, which had already started with two big victories, encountered trouble with Hull City.

In an entanglement with an opponent, Pogba received a red card and was sent off.

This also made Manchester United almost lost their winning streak in the opening stage.

Fortunately, Xia Xing stood up and rode through the barrier alone to make a final decision. In the end, he defeated his opponent with a small goal and kept Manchester United's winning streak at the beginning.

It was also from this game that Xia Xing gradually became Manchester United's number one star.

Now whenever he thinks about Hull City, Pogba feels very unhappy.

And now, the two teams finally meet.

In this game, Xia Xing is still playing the core of the organization, and now his position is completely stable.

But before the game, Xia Xing found Pogba privately.

"Paul, I know you don't like seeing them."

"Of course, my first red card in the Premier League was caused by them!"

"I will pass the ball to you more in this game, and you go up and defeat them!"

"Row!!!"

With Xia Xing's support, Pogba has a lot of confidence in his heart.

Because the next game will be against Liverpool, so this game will be dominated by substitutes.

Except for Xia Xing and Pogba, Rooney, Ibrahimovic and other stars did not appear.

In this way, the offense needs the support of the midfield even more.

This is exactly what Pogba wants!
As soon as the game started, Pogba shot a blast from the frontcourt!
The ball rubbed against the goal post and bombed on the billboard of the defense on the side of the goal!
boom!
There is a huge sound echoing in Old Trafford!
Although he did not score a goal, it can be seen that Pogba has a strong desire to win today.

Even Mourinho on the sidelines nodded slightly.

Not bad.

As the team's top star, Xia Xing had a great impact on Pogba.

Especially since he just won the Golden Globe Award, Pogba is even more envious.

This kind of healthy competition within the team is something Mourinho is very happy to see.

Xia Xing was naturally happy to see Pogba enter the state so early.

He originally thought about rushing a few times at the beginning of the game to try to score as soon as possible, but now it seems that he doesn't need it.

I believe Pogba will score a goal soon.

After the opening critical hit, Pogba's position kept moving forward.He even became a shadow striker for a time, wandering around the penalty area.

Xia Xing has also been looking for opportunities to feed him the ball.

In the 11th minute of the game, Xia Xing got out of the way on the left, made a direct pass with one foot to the ground, and accurately found Pogba!
The ball passed through the gap between the two defenders!

When Pogba saw the ball coming, he still didn't hesitate!
25 meters away from the goal, Pogba adjusted his position, kept the ball, raised his bow and arrow, and volleyed!
The ball hits the upper right corner of the goal!
Faced with such a swift shot, the goalkeeper Jakupovic did not react at all!
The ball is too fast!

The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Excited Pogba jumped high and punched hard!
Cool!
With a goal in hand, Manchester United broke the deadlock.

Next, the goals kept coming.

In the 22nd minute of the game, Xia Xing passed the ball again and found Pogba who was going forward again.

This time it was on the edge of the penalty area, and Xia Xing gave a high ball.

Pogba jumped high and headed the goal!

This is his rare way of attacking the goal!
This is also his first header in Manchester United!
The ball bounced off the head of goalkeeper Jakupovic and fell into the net!

The ball is in!
2 is better than 0!

Pogba scores again!
Wonderful header!
With two goals in hand, Mourinho is completely at ease.

Xia Xing celebrated on the sidelines and was stopped by Mourinho.

"In a while, get ready to end."

"Huh? So fast?"

"It's not fast, it's already very stable."

"Row……"

Returning to the court, Xia Xing’s journey is still unfinished.

Before taking another free throw, Pogba high-fived Xia Xing again, with a smile on his face: "Xia, your pass is so great!"

"It's still that your shot handling is smart enough."

"It's still early, let's score a few more goals!"

"It's getting late, the coach said he will replace me in a while."

"Huh? Ending so early?"

"Well, after all, Liverpool will be playing in the next game. The coach must want to stay strong. I guess you will end in the second half."

"I want to kick a little longer..."

"Let's score a few more goals while still on the field."

"it is good!"

The two high-five.

In the next period of time, Manchester United went crazy!

In the 31st minute of the game, Xia Xing passed the ball to Pogba again.

This time Pogba was in an average position, so even though he wanted to score, he calmly chose to pass the ball.

Stop the ball firmly, flick to the right, and avoid the defensive player who is rushing!
Then he pulled the ball quickly and directly dodged the passing space!

Without hesitation, deft push and pass!

The ball went straight to the right!

Look for Martial to move forward quickly!
This pass is very delicate!

Martial rushed into the penalty area and calmly pushed into the net!

3 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
In the 45th minute of the game, this time it was Xia Xing's pass from the left.

The ball found Pogba again.

Facing the defense, Pogba pulled the ball past twice in a row!

Deftly pulling the ball, not like a big player at all!

kick, volley!
The ball crashed into the net!

4 is better than 0!

Manchester United is stable!

Facing Hull City, which once made Pogba suffer, the French midfielder went crazy today!

Pogba's revenge!

Beat Hull City! (end of this chapter)
