Star card system.

Chapter 514 If the team needs it, I can be the goalkeeper.

In the first minute of the game, Dortmund launched a wonderful frontcourt collaboration.

Taking advantage of Manchester United's midfield position being unstable, they launched a fierce attack.

It really worked.

Continuous passes penetrated Manchester United's defense. If it weren't for De Gea's phenomenal defense, Manchester United might have fallen behind.

The goal was almost conceded at the beginning, which made the Manchester United soldiers break out in a cold sweat.

But they soon found their rhythm.

Especially Xia Xing, who retreated a bit, temporarily formed a three-back midfielder with Matic and Pogba to stabilize the defense first.

In the current Manchester United formation, Xia Xing's position is becoming more and more flexible.

This is the right given to him by Mourinho.

On the surface he is a left midfielder, but in fact he can drop back to become a defensive midfielder, he can go up to become a winger, and he can even cross to the right and change positions without any problem.

Especially since Rooney and Carrick are not present, Xia Xing, who wears the captain's armband, has absolute say on the court.

Dortmund then cooperated twice in a row, both of which were exquisite.

But in the final blow, there was no good chance.

This is Mourinho's pre-game arrangement.

This Dortmund team has good coordination between the midfield and the frontcourt, but the final kick is a bit lacking.

Apart from Aubameyang, there is really no one else with a top shooting level.

As Shaheen who played for Real Madrid, his midfield organization is very good.

Shinji Kagawa and Gotze's passing is also reasonable, but they lack particularly outstanding performance.

Ever since his decisive strike in the 2014 World Cup, Gotze seemed to have disappeared from everyone's mind in an instant.

Shinji Kagawa, who left Dortmund for the first time and joined Manchester United, has never found his peak form.

Even if the two later returned to Dortmund and became members of the Dortmund system, they were only good and could not compare to the team's original situation.

Manchester United's formation retracted, which also gave Aubameyang, who is known for his speed, less room to perform.

Dortmund continued to attack without success, and soon they were in trouble.

Kagawa Shinji controlled the ball in the middle and moved forward, and Xia Xing directly crossed from the left to defend.

Faced with the recent summer trip, Shinji Kagawa is in a very unhappy mood.

On the one hand, he was very dissatisfied that a Chinese person received so much attention.

In his heart, Japan is the center of Asia, and their players are the best!

Especially the place where Xia Xing achieved success was Manchester United, which brought back many unpleasant memories for him.

When he was at Manchester United, he came back with a complete defeat.

Now, he must prove his strength!

The frequency of the feet increases and the direction changes continuously!

Xia Xing saw that this guy wanted to kill him.

He had already made several unsuccessful passes before.

Now again?

OK, come on!
Xia Xing's body sank downwards and he regained his balance.

Kagawa Shinji's two consecutive fake moves failed to deceive Xia Xing's focus.

In the end, he made a desperate move and accelerated diagonally!
Xia Xing had already expected it and took a decisive step to steal the ball!
The ball was pushed into the frontcourt!

Shinji Kagawa lost the ball!
Pogba catches the ball and accelerates with the ball!
Straight plug!

Mkhitaryan sprinted quickly in the frontcourt!
Catch the ball!

Shoot directly from outside the penalty area!

The ball went straight to the corner!

The ball is in!
1 is better than 0!

Manchester United scored first!
The away team fans cheer wildly!

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer also applauded excitedly!
"Great shot!

"Great fit!

"awesome!

“Dortmund just had a continuous attack, and multiple passes and passes still failed to score!
"And Manchester United only used three players to break the goal guarded by Weidenfeller!

"Xia's wonderful interception, Pogba's assist, Mkhitaryan's shot!

"The central axis cooperation of the three is extremely exciting!" In front of his old club, Mkhitaryan showed his top form!
“One stop and one shot, it’s so exciting!

"In the 29th minute of the game, Manchester United took the lead by one goal!
"Their defense became more solid next time!"

Taking the lead to score, the Manchester United soldiers were in a great mood.

Everyone rushed to Mkhitaryan and hugged his teammates.

But Mkhitaryan did not celebrate, he showed due respect for his old club.

In the midfield position, Shaheen stepped forward and patted the somewhat confused Shinji Kagawa.

Dortmund had just attacked from all fronts, but it was suddenly interrupted that caused the goal to be conceded.

Shinji Kagawa is the biggest problem.

But his teammates were unwilling to criticize him. Instead, they comforted him and told him not to take it personally.

Next, Shinji Kagawa became more active.

He was looking forward to scoring a goal, equalizing the score and making up for the mistake just now.

But it was never possible.

The whistle sounded at the end of the first half and the score was still 1-0.

With a one-goal advantage, Manchester United entered the second half.

Neither side has made any substitution adjustments. It seems that the coaches of the two teams are still very confident about their starting lineups.

The two sides continued to fight fiercely, with Dortmund attacking fiercely and Manchester United retreating in anticipation of a counterattack.

In the second half, both sides were physically exhausted.

In the 70th minute of the game, both sides used three substitutions neatly.

But at this moment, Manchester United ran into trouble.

During a defense, center back Lindelof defended a high-altitude ball and sprained his ankle when he landed and was unable to continue the game.

Manchester United has one less player to play!
And now that the substitution quota has been used up, what should I do?
Mourinho decisively ordered!

Lukaku, go and play as a central defender!
In this case, letting the tall Lukaku make a cameo is definitely the best choice.

Just after retreating to the defensive line, Lukaku used a wonderful header to clear the ball, allowing Dortmund's cross to disappear.

The Manchester United fans in the stands burst into applause!

De Gea and Smallin also stepped forward and patted Lukaku on the shoulder to show encouragement.

But Lukaku is playing a little drum in his heart.

kao, so dangerous.

I actually headed the ball just now, but it was just wide.

How could I react? I thought I was in front of the opponent's goal...

At this time, Perrin on the side of the court also kept applauding: "This Lukaku is really good! The header flew out close to the goal post, so accurate!"

Mourinho said quietly: "I hope he really wants to make a rescue..."

In the 85th minute of the game, Lukaku made a header again and made no mistake this time!

The ball fell to Xia Xing outside the penalty area!
Xia Xing received the ball without hesitation and suddenly accelerated with the ball!
At this time, most of Dortmund's players are gathered around the Manchester United goal!

The backcourt is empty!

Xia Xing catches the ball and sprints with the ball!
No one around him can keep up with him!
Kagawa Shinji put the shovel directly behind him!

But I couldn’t meet Xia Xing either!

Xia Xing rushed all the way to the Dortmund half!
Bartra defends diagonally!

Xia Xing took the shot directly!
35 meters away from the goal, kick off and shoot!
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller fought hard to save, but still to no avail!
The ball hits the net!

The ball went in! 2 to 0!

Another goal for Manchester United!
They are completely stable!

In the end, Manchester United ended this game with this score!

Dortmund is helpless!

When the referee's whistle sounded, the Manchester United players on the court were very excited!

Reporters on the sidelines surrounded Lukaku, who was nearest, and asked him how he felt about being a guest defender.

Lukaku waved his hand and responded domineeringly!

"If the team needs it, I can be the goalkeeper!"
