Star card system.

In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United scored the first goal.

In the following period, West Ham United had several good counterattacks.

But under Manchester United's double midfielder defense, no results were achieved.

And just when West Ham United's attack was fruitless and a little anxious, Manchester United seized the opportunity to score again!
West Ham United's cross was a bit high, Hernandez couldn't reach it, and Arnautovic couldn't keep up.

Ashley Young made a big-footed clearance from behind!

The ball fell to Xia Xing's feet!
Another breakthrough for Xia Xing!
Sprint with the ball and head straight towards West Ham United's half!
At this time, he was in a deserted place on the left wing!

Even though he had seen Xia Xing's power last season and was mentally prepared, he was still powerless at this moment!

Xia Xing sprinted with the ball and knocked away two defensive players in a row!

West Ham United's retreating speed couldn't match Xia Xing's sprinting speed with the ball!

Come to the bottom line and make a pass!
Go straight to the center of the penalty area!

Lukaku leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!

The ball hits the net!

2 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
This goal caught West Ham United off guard!

Lukaku who scored the goal was so excited!

This is his first league goal wearing a Manchester United jersey!
He rushed towards Xia Xing: "Xia! Your cross is great!"

Xia Xing laughed loudly: "You are still better!"

Lukaku was happy to score, and Xia Xing was equally happy.

There are also world-class forwards among the players we have worked with before.

For example, Robin van Persie during the Leicester City period, Ibrahimovic and Rooney during the Manchester United period.

However, they are all old, have no problem with experience, and have good positional sense, but their impact is slightly lacking.

Young players such as Vardy and Rashford are fast but not very powerful.

This gives Xia Xing a lot of consideration when passing the ball.

But not Lukaku!

He has a body and is as strong as a buffalo!

He has height and can easily overwhelm the opponent's defender!

The key is that he still has speed and often hits the opponent with a crushing force!

Having such a strike partner is definitely a good thing for Xia Xing!

It is no exaggeration to say that Lukaku is definitely the best striker Xia Xing has ever played with, bar none!

Except sometimes I feel confused...

But looking at Lukaku's innocent smirk, Xia Xing was also happy.

If Lukaku had been smarter, he would have truly been a super forward across the ages.

Even Ibrahimovic and Rooney can't compare.

But no one is perfect.

As long as you can make good use of his strengths, that's fine.

The two teamed up to help Manchester United expand their lead.

2-0, this score is good.

But for Mourinho, he is still not satisfied.

In the following period, Manchester United made several mistakes in a row.

An error in passing and receiving in the midfield, and an error in defensive cooperation in the backcourt.

Hernandez had two shooting opportunities.

If it weren't for De Gea's world-class save, I'm afraid the score would have been equalized.

Mourinho was furious on the sidelines!

He yelled and scolded several players who had defensive problems.

Even the old player Matic he poached did not escape reprimand.

But soon, Manchester United regained its due rhythm.

Slowly, continue to control the score.

Mourinho nodded with satisfaction.

The biggest reason for this change is the retracement of Xia Xing's position.

When the team relaxed a little because of the lead, Xia Xing decisively withdrew to the midfield.The double back midfielder turned into a triple back midfielder, instantly becoming much more stable.

Carrick has rich experience, Matic is strong and tough, and Xia Xing has comprehensive coverage.

The combination of the three of them works well together.

By stabilizing their defense, Manchester United played much more solidly.

With a two-goal lead, they had enough time to stabilize the situation.

In the following period, West Ham United's offense was fierce.

Hernandez got another chance, but ultimately failed to score.

Valencia put a shovel in the penalty area, allowing Hernandez's shot to fly out.

Although the defense was broken, it also shocked everyone.

If Hernandez did not shoot, but took it a little forward, then it would be a penalty kick...

The referee blew his whistle and the first half was over.

With a score of 2-0, Manchester United took the lead easily.

However, in the locker room at halftime, Mourinho was still dissatisfied with the team's performance in the first half.

“You have done a good job, but it is not enough, but there are still many problems!

“We wasted a lot of opportunities, it’s a shame.

“And today’s opponent’s ability to seize opportunities was too poor, otherwise they would have scored at least two goals.

"If our opponents today are Manchester City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea...

"I'm afraid we're behind now!

"This 2-0 must not be a sign of complacency against an underdog!
“I hope you can score more goals and be more focused defensively!
"Don't forget, we started this season as the defending champions!"

Facing Mourinho, Manchester United players lowered their heads and began to reflect.

They did really well in the first half, but they did have a lot of holes.

Mourinho is right.

Starting as the defending champion, there is bound to be more pressure and the journey will be more difficult than last season.

Maybe the wins against Chelsea and Real Madrid made everyone relax?
Whatever the reason, the players recognized some shortcomings in the first half.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again, and their condition improved significantly.

In the several battles in the frontcourt, they fought actively and never let up.

This made Mourinho nod secretly on the sidelines.

Yes, these guys are good.

In terms of overall strength, Manchester United is not at the top level now.

Especially compared with teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​there are gaps in many positions.

Even compared with teams such as Chelsea and Manchester City, there are still shortcomings.

But it is such a team that still won the quadruple championship last season.

Mourinho, more than anyone else, believes in the power of the mind.

If Manchester United wants to continue to create miracles this season, they must be more energetic and go all out!

On the court, Manchester United players are still fighting hard.

In the 59th minute of the game, during a midfield scramble, Matic knocked away the defense and took the ball out!
Xia Xing quickly moved forward and grabbed the second point!

Without hesitation, he made a long pass behind the opponent's defender!
Valencia at the far end quickly moved forward and successfully countered offside!
This time his run spanned more than half of the stadium!

He catches the ball, rushes into the goal, and shoots with his kick!
The ball hits the net!

3 is better than 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
And it's not over yet!
7 minutes later, Manchester United stole the ball in midfield again!

This time it was Xia Xing who stole the ball and quickly knocked the ball to Carrick!

Carrick stopped the ball and paused for a moment, waiting for Lukaku to move, and then passed the ball accurately into the penalty area!
Lukaku moved forward quickly, attracting the defense, and Rashford next to him was even faster!

Successfully countered offside and received the ball!

Pause for a moment, kick and shoot in the lower right corner!

The ball crashed into the net!

4 is better than 0!

Manchester United continues to expand its lead! (End of chapter)
