Star card system.

At the post-match press conference, Klopp looked unhappy.

Klopp was in a very bad mood after learning that Arsenal had won another game played at the same time.

The position of No.4 is gone!

Fxxk!

Looking at the excited reporters, Klopp snorted coldly.

"I like passionate football and don't like this kind of conservative tactics.
“Even if I were to win this way, I would be unhappy.

"If defense is the mainstream of international football, then football will not be worthy of the title of the world's largest sport."

These words were directed at Mourinho's conservative tactics.

But Mourinho didn't care.

“Football matches are victories in peaceful times, who cares whether they look good or not?
“Winning is always the way to go!
“Our team finally won today, and I’m very happy!

"This is enough!
“The club invited me here to win, not to look good!

"Otherwise, fans might as well go watch the model catwalk, that one is more beautiful than football!"

Mourinho responded mercilessly and showed no mercy.

In fact, Mourinho and Klopp had always had a good relationship before they became league rivals.

Especially Real Madrid's Mourinho and Dortmund's Klopp, the two often express their goodwill in the distance.

But since becoming Premier League rivals, the two have often bickered.

Even though they had just exchanged some polite words before the game, it didn't stop them from mocking each other now.

Such is the position between rival managers.

But Mourinho won, and that was enough.

Got the right to breathe.

Regardless of the fact that Manchester United currently dominates the league, has qualified for the Europa League, and has entered the final of the EFL Cup, for Manchester United fans, the two double clubs every season are definitely the top priority.

As long as Liverpool can be killed, this is even more important than winning the Champions League final.

Winning against Liverpool put Mourinho in a great mood and made the entire Manchester United team very excited.

Five days later, in the second round of the Premier League No. 20 against Stoke City, Manchester United once again won a big victory.

This game was still played with all the main players, Mourinho did not rotate.

In this game, in addition to Xia Xing being still stable, Pogba once again performed a wonderful performance.

One pass and one shot helped Manchester United stabilize their victory in the first half.

Especially the direct kick that assisted Mkhitaryan, even Xia Xing couldn't help but applaud!
It's beautiful!

After Pogba received the pass from the backcourt, he paused for a moment and calculated the running route and time of his teammates in his mind.

A long pass and accurately found Mkhitaryan!

These are all the results of working hard on the training ground every day!

Fully understand the speed and running habits of your teammates!
After Mkhitaryan received the ball, he easily shook off the defense and pushed into the net.

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United scored first!
And 10 minutes later, Xia Xing got the ball on the left.

He continuously controlled, attracted the defense, and then suddenly took a shot!

The ball passed through the crowd and found Pogba accurately!

Pogba sprinted quickly and cooperated with Xia Xing tacitly!
About 30 meters away from the goal, Pogba did not hesitate!
Lift your feet and shoot hard!

The ball goes into the net!

The score expanded again! 2 to 0!

At the end of the first half, thanks to Pogba's wonderful performance, Manchester United took a two-goal lead.

Mourinho was in a good mood on the sidelines.

But he was a little confused about Xia Xing's situation.

When the players all returned to the locker room, Mourinho stopped Xia Xing who was the last to leave.

"Coach, what's wrong with you?"

"Xia, I have noticed in recent games that you often take the initiative to hand over offensive organization rights to Pogba."

"Yes coach, I do."

"What is going on? Are you worried about Pogba's mentality, so are you trying to balance it? Xiao, as a player, you don't need to be like this. I will do the balancing work. You just need to ensure that you perform at your best. "

Looking at Mourinho's serious expression, Xia Xing explained seriously.

"Coach, I do relinquish control of the offense at the appropriate times;

“It’s not just about compassion and concern, it’s also about tactical considerations.

“Pogba’s form sometimes has ups and downs, and you can see that too,
“When you’re in a bad state, there’s something wrong with that…

“But when he’s in good form, his offensive organization ability is not inferior to mine.

"So every time I find that he is in good condition and has a strong desire to attack,
"I will always retreat a little bit in an appropriate position to give him some offensive opportunities.
“In this way, he can bring out his greatest strength.

“The overall strength of the team can also be balanced to maximize.

"And when I find that he is in average condition, I will quickly position myself, squeeze him away, and regain control of the offense.

“This is a way to ensure that the team is always under control and never out of control.

"Not only that, what I gave up was only the right to organize the offense, not the overall organization right of the team.
“Especially the rhythm of offense and defense and the organization of defense are all under my firm control.
"So you can rest assured that I will definitely change according to the situation on the court.

"And we will stick to the tactical arrangements you gave us and complete the mission with both quality and quantity!"

Looking at Xia Xing's sincere eyes, Mourinho didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a long time, he patted his shoulder hard.

"Xia, when you go back to the tactical analysis meeting of the coaching staff, come and listen. Although you are still very young, you really have the talent to coach the team. Your understanding of football is far beyond that of your peers, even better than Many head coaches know this. Between your state, Pogba's state and the overall strength of the team, you can find the best balance point and allow the team to maximize its strength. You have done a great job. Come on, Young people have a bright future..."

In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. Carragher in the live broadcast room praised Pogba.

"Pogba is in really good form recently. His pass and shot in the first half made the game completely no longer suspense. He is the best player in the game!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Stoke City scored!
A chance to counterattack, Manchester United was chaotic in front of the goal, and was shot into the net by the opponent striker Bojan, the former Barcelona player!

2 is better than 1!

Bo Yang's deft shot caught Manchester United's defense off guard!
Stoke City gets a goal back!
The Manchester United players were a little confused.

After the restart, he did not find his form quickly.

At this moment, Stoke City attacked again!

A sudden 45-degree long pass from the left!
Throughout the first half, Stoke City often passed such passes, but they were not very accurate.

But this time, he accurately bypassed Manchester United's defense and found the tall guy Crouch on the striker!
Crouch in the penalty area leaped high and hit the goal with a header!

The ball hits the net!

2 is better than 2!

Stoke City equalized the score!
Only 5 minutes into the second half, Stoke City scored two goals in a row!

Manchester United was in trouble for a while! (end of this chapter)
