Chapter 445 The battle for the semi-finals of the Europa League!
Martial scored another goal and Manchester United led 5-0.

After three games without a win, Manchester United finally found its rhythm.

In the 78th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again provided an assist.

An attack from the left wing and an inverted triangle pass on the baseline.

Pogba caught the ball and shot, and the ball hit the net.

Pogba, who has always wanted to score, finally got his wish.

6:0.

This is also the final score of the game.

A big victory allowed Manchester United to regain their feeling.

But it's a bit of a pity that Chelsea also won this round.

In this way, Manchester United's lead is still only three points.

In the next game, Manchester United still has no right to relax.

But before that, Manchester United still has a very important game.

Europa League quarter-finals.

In the next half month, Manchester United will continue to face third-line battles.

And every game is a heavyweight contest.

On April 4, the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals was an away game against Anderlecht.

On April 4, Premier League No. 16 played against Chelsea at home in the third round.

On April 4, the second leg of the Europa League quarter-finals was played at home against Anderlecht.

On April 4, Premier League No. 23 played away to Burnley in the fourth round.

On April 4, in the semi-finals of the FA Cup, the opponent was Arsenal.

These games are extremely important for Manchester United.

The home and away games of the Europa League need no introduction.

Moreover, their opponent Anderlecht is a typical team that is good at attacking. After the draw results came out, their coach Wille said publicly.

"Even if we play against Manchester United, we still have to fight against them!"

A team with top fighting spirit is difficult to deal with.

And between the two Europa League games, there is a Premier League game.

This is the battle for the top spot in the Premier League, Manchester United versus Chelsea.

At this stage of the league, the importance of this game is self-evident.

In the next four rounds of the Premier League No. 30, Manchester United will play Burnley again.

This team mainly plays an iron-barrel formation. In the first half, Manchester United failed to win against them and was held 0-0 by the opponent. This game was also difficult to play.

At the end of April, the last game was the FA Cup semi-finals, and Manchester United's opponent was Arsenal.

As the only championship opportunity this season, Arsenal will definitely fight hard, and Manchester United will not be easy to play in this game.

Overall, the next five games are each difficult, and here comes Mourinho's test.

On April 4, the Manchester United team visited the Vandenstock Stadium to play against the Belgian giant Anderlecht.

This game is very important for Manchester United.

Because in three days, they will face Chelsea.

It was a 6-point contest.

If you cannot get the score you want in this game, or if you cannot get a goal difference that is confident enough, then there will be some additional planning in the formation of the next game against Chelsea. After all, we have to consider The second leg of the Europa League is a few days away.

If there is a big win in this game, Mourinho can completely let go of Chelsea.

Therefore, this game can be said to be a "leverage game" for the next period of time. Whether it can leverage victory depends on this time.

Facing Anderlecht, Mourinho made some adjustments to his lineup today and made some changes.

The usual 4-2-3-1 formation is still the same today, but captain Rooney is hidden in the ice.

Ibrahimovic is still on the front line,

Behind him are Xia Xing, Mata and Mkhitaryan, with double midfielders Pogba and Fellaini.

The back four includes Ashley Young, Smalling, Rojo and Valencia.

The goalkeeper is still De Gea.

Even though they fielded almost the entire main lineup, Manchester United still suffered a loss at the start against Anderlecht.

Not long after the game started, Anderlecht passed a free kick from the frontcourt, and forward Achim Peng shot in the penalty area!
The ball reflected in the crowd and hit the net!

Even De Gea can't do anything!
The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Conceding the goal in the first 5 minutes made the Manchester United soldiers a little confused.

Anderlecht's subsequent fierce attack put great pressure on Manchester United.

In this game, their coach Wille used decisive tactics to attack Manchester United.

The biggest problem for this Manchester United is the defense.

Although several defenders are good, they are still only at the Premier League level, not even the top level of the Premier League.

If it weren't for Xia Xing's defensive organization, they would still be beaten this season like last season.

Wille simply went toe-to-toe with Manchester United and attacked their more fragile defense.

This tactic yielded miraculous results from the start.

A goal gave the Belgian giants more confidence.

In the next period of time, Manchester United began to feel uncomfortable.

In this game, they did not expect that their opponent's attack would be so fierce, and even the two full-backs rushed forward.

A desperate attack.

At one point, Manchester United's attacking midfielder even retreated to help defend.

But Mourinho on the sidelines was in no hurry.

Because Xia Xing was present.

With a top-level organizational midfielder, the team's defense will be absolutely no problem.

Although the goal conceded just now is a little annoying, the opponent did have some luck and is not a big problem for the team.

Now as long as the team can withstand the pressure, the next step is to score goals.

What's more, what Mourinho is least afraid of is his opponent's onslaught.

A coach with a background in defensive counterattack tactics has seen this kind of scene before.

It's just that many fans feel that Manchester United is being beaten by Anderlecht, which is a bit embarrassing.

But so what?

After the game, look at the score, that is the ultimate face!

Under Xia Xing's organizational defense, Anderlecht's onslaught was continuously interrupted.

De Gea also made stable saves today, picking off the opponent's crosses twice in a row and attacking decisively.

In the 22nd minute of the game, when Anderlecht's offensive players were a little tired and the attack slowed down a little, Manchester United's opportunity came.

It was Xia Xing who stole the ball in the midfield again and directly tackled the opponent's core player Tielemans!

There is no problem with the defense this time!
Getting up quickly after stealing the ball is another of Xia Xing's signature moves!
He has extremely strong core physical strength and is very good at launching attacks quickly after stealing the ball!
A big long pass, looking for Ibrahimovic in the opponent's half!

1 is better than 1!

Manchester United equalized the score!
And this is just the beginning of Manchester United's counterattack!
Next, Manchester United still retreated steadily, waiting for Anderlecht's attack.

It's the defense in the backcourt again, this time it's Valencia's body collision with the opponent's wrecking ball!

The ball flies to the center again!

Pogba knocks horizontally, Xia Xing catches the ball again!
This time he followed the same pattern and still passed the long ball to find the striker!
Xia Xing has already noticed that Ibrahimovic is in excellent condition today!
Sure enough, after Ibrahimovic caught the ball, he took two steps and shot again!

They regained control of the game!
