Star card system.

Standing on the sidelines of Elland Road, Mourinho felt the "greeting" from Christiansen.

The boos all over the place were deafening and really shocking.

But Mourinho doesn't care.

He picked his ears, looked around the audience, and pouted.

For the Portuguese, what scene has he not seen before?
This level of booing can only be said to be pretty good.

Compared with the previous Milan Derby and Spanish El Clasico, it's just that.

But after the game started, Mourinho began to worry.

Leeds United's fighting was so fierce!
Where are they playing football?
Totally a kick!
What a team this is!
This Leeds United team does not have any big-name stars. The most famous players are Berardi, Pablo Hernandez and other players, veterans who have played in the five major leagues.

The quality of other players is worthy of the Championship level.

But it was such a team that made Manchester United play in a very embarrassing manner!
Unlike Manchester United's promising season, this season they have nothing to desire.

Currently ranked in the middle of the English Championship, there is no hope of promotion and no worries about relegation.

This salty pursuit of the league makes them try their best for this game!

On the one hand, the EFL Cup became their hope for an upset, and they went all out.

On the other hand, with the deterrence of the Rose Derby, they want to give Manchester United some color at home.

Also, their playing style in the British Championship was rough, but now they are just playing normally.

In this case, Manchester United is under great pressure.

They must not lose face as a team, they must win the Rose Derby, and they must win with momentum.

In a dense schedule, they must go all out.

Even if it’s just a domestic cup match.

Many substitutes came on the field in this game, and Mourinho made extensive rotations.

It is worth mentioning that Rooney and Carrick both started.

There is a high probability that this will be the last Rose Derby in their careers, and both of them volunteered.

Having experienced the Ferguson era, they understand the significance of this derby better than anyone present.

As soon as the game started, Leeds United attacked from all fronts.

Xia Xing did not play in this game and was placed on the bench.

But even so, he was still dumbfounded.

This isn't a football game, it's just a fight...

Even though he has played in the British Championship, Xia Xing rarely sees this kind of scene.

Even if it's against Liverpool or Manchester City, at least both sides are still heading in the direction of winning.

But for today’s opponent, let’s talk about it first!

As long as a Manchester United player receives the ball, the opponent will directly shovel it!

The tackle is very fierce!

Two headers in the middle, great hand movements!
Elbow strikes are commonplace!

Only 5 minutes into the game, both sides received three yellow cards!

This game is crazy!

The referee was already very in control and played cards continuously just to make the players calm down a little bit.

But it doesn't work well.

In the 17th minute of the game, players from both sides struggled in the midfield. Leeds United midfielder Grote tackled directly from behind and knocked down Carrick!
Carrick quickly dodged to avoid injuring key parts!

But even so, he was still kicked, grinning and bending over, and didn't get up for a long time.

McTominay next to him was angry!

He rushed forward and overthrew Grote, who was about to steal the ball from Carrick's arms!
Players from both sides instantly started a group fight!

Pushing and shoving are common!
Fists and kicks can be used anywhere!

Even the referee can't stop him!
Coaches from both sides hurriedly came on stage to break up the brawling group.This is something that will only happen if Mourinho and Christiansen have a good relationship.

Otherwise, maybe the coaching staff and benches of both teams would fight.

In the end, the referee ended the farce by showing Grote and McTominay a red card each.

The troublemaker, who was preceded by three other players, also received a yellow card.

Including captain Rooney.

Less than 20 minutes into the game, the game already had two reds and six yellows.

Next, the anger between the two sides still did not subside.

Rooney received the ball in the frontcourt, and even though there was no chance, he simply fired a blast!
The ball hit Jackson's shoulder, knocking him down.

Several Leeds United teammates came forward to demand an explanation, but Rooney stood there and glared.

"You can't afford it, can you? Fxxk!"

The referee once again separated the players from both sides.

After all, it was not a foul, so Rooney was naturally not punished, and Manchester United also got a well-positioned set piece.

The Leeds United players were so angry that they were itching.

Rooney's free kick hit the net, and goalkeeper Weidwald flew to save the ball.

The two sides struggled for most of the first half, so they failed to score at the end of the half.

During the intermission, Xia Xing volunteered!

"Coach, let me play!"

"No."

"I just go up there and play football. I don't fight."

"That won't work either. I'm worried that you will be targeted by the other party."

"Don't worry, I won't get too entangled with the ball. I will protect myself."

Xia Xing petitioned again and again, but Mourinho was too stubborn.

Okay, okay, come on, come on...

In the second half, Xia Xing came on as a substitute!

It was originally a melee, with both sides getting anxious due to physical collisions, but with Xia Xing's appearance, the situation of the game changed instantly.

At the beginning of the second half, after Manchester United passed the ball twice in the center circle, the ball was handed to Xia Xing.

Xia Xing didn't hesitate and suddenly sprinted with the ball!
He rushed towards the opponent's penalty area from the center, but he didn't go too long before he shot straight away!
About 40 meters away from the goal, he kicked off and shot!

This shot was beyond everyone's expectations!
Even though he knew that Xia Xing's shooting was extremely powerful, shooting from this position was too difficult to control!

But Xia Xing doesn't care!

He didn’t even get too hung up on the angle!

Even if you can't score a goal, you still need a kick to boost your morale!
But he was overthinking it.

Even though the shot was not prepared for too long and the angle was not very tricky, the power and sudden burst were enough to blast away the opponent's net!

Goalkeeper Weidwald fought hard to save and even touched the ball!

But still unable to block the ball!

The ball bounced off the palm of my hand and went straight into the net!
"1 to 0!

"Manchester United finally broke the net!

"This earth-shattering shot,

"Let the Manchester United general finally feel at ease!
“Throughout the first half, they were entangled with their opponents.

“Don’t forget, this is the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup, and we are only two steps away from the final championship!

“Even though this game is a Rose Derby, it is still very important!

"Xia came on as a substitute and struck a fatal blow!
"The long-range shot from 40 meters away is simply wonderful!
"Now Manchester United has finally found its winning rhythm!
"You can maintain a winning streak in the Premier League, let alone a Championship team!
"I'm sure this goal will be the key to victory for Manchester United!
"This Rose Derby is getting more and more interesting!" (End of this chapter)
