Star card system.

In the end, Manchester United narrowly won this difficult game 3-2.

Although it was difficult, Mourinho was also happy with the three points.

Facing reporters, Mourinho's speech was very similar to what Alan Shearer just said.

"Compared with the result of this game, I am also very satisfied with the process of the game. The three goal scorers are McTominay, Rashford and Lingard. They are all players who came out of Manchester United's youth academy. , this is recognition of Manchester United’s youth training work and the continuation of the Red Devils’ blood.”

These words are truly inspiring.

What could be more gratifying than having your own child doing well?

However, this game also has its ups and downs.

The young players performed well, but two defenders were injured, which is also worrying.

Many Manchester United players have been injured this season, which has given Mourinho a headache.

The reason why their status has been up and down this season has a lot to do with the players' physical condition.

Originally, a lot of physical energy was consumed in the World Cup, and due to frequent injuries, Manchester United encountered greater difficulties than before this season.

After playing Newcastle on October 10, the FIFA national team match day is here again.

Manchester United's generals went to the national team, and Mourinho once again had a moment of prayer.

After a wave of national team competitions, minor injuries continued and his physical fitness seriously declined.

On the evening of October 10, Manchester United once again ushered in a Premier League match.

This time they visited Stamford Bridge to challenge their ninth-round opponent Chelsea.

Manchester United couldn't even find a few suitable substitute defenders for this game.

Faced with Chelsea's ferocious attack, Mourinho's team struggled.

Many players in the midfield and backfield are absent, which has a great impact.

Especially the absence of Matic and Fred has put great pressure on Manchester United's midfield defense.

Due to the physical exertion of the national team competition, Matic and Fred looked very tired when they returned to the team.

Mourinho simply let the two rest.

After all, the league is a whole year's matter, not a day or two, and you can't kill the goose that lays the eggs.

In this game, Fellaini and Herrera started as a defensive midfielder.

The two were in good shape for this match.

Herrera is still both offensive and defensive, and Fellaini is fully defensive.

Especially defending Hazard.

In this game, Hazard is still the core of the team's offense, and his excellent personal skills are still Chelsea's most threatening point.

As soon as the game started, he passed two defensive players on the left and rushed into the penalty area.

If it weren't for Fellaini's quick defensive clearance, Manchester United might have conceded the ball in the opening game.

A few minutes later, Hazard took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Fellaini blocked it with his foot and the ball went wide of the goal.

These two defenses were just a microcosm of the game. Fellaini blocked Hazard's advances many times throughout the game, causing his national team teammates to return without success. His solid defense made Mourinho frequently applaud him on the sidelines.

And Herrera, his large-scale sweep caused a lot of trouble for the Chelsea team.

Although Manchester United's lineup is not complete in this game, they are in good condition.

In the 21st minute of the game, Xia Xing passed a diagonal kick into the penalty area. Mata received the ball and volleyed into the far corner of the net!

1 is better than 0!

Chelsea's former player breaks the goal guarded by his old club!

Soon, Chelsea also scored.

A midfield match, Jorginho suddenly shot a long-range shot!

The ball hit the goal post and bounced into the dead center, and the ball went in!

1 to 1! Chelsea equalizes the score!

Jorginho is known as the "godson" of head coach Maurizio Sarri and is well cared for in the team. However, he is indeed capable, good at both offense and defense, and has a tacit understanding with Kante.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Jorginho stole the ball again and quickly passed through to find Morata on the striker!

Morata, who is known as having both inverse feet, did not waste the opportunity this time!

Pushed into the blind corner and scored the goal guarded by the national team teammates!

2 is better than 1!

Chelsea scores another goal!

With a one-goal lead, Chelsea returned to the dressing room.

They were still very aggressive in the second half, but Manchester United's defense made no mistakes and gave them no chance.

In the 80th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again performed a wonderful solo victory.

On the left wing, he quickly dribbled the ball forward!

Passed Jorginho and Azpilicueta in succession!

Facing Kanter's attack, Xia Xing directly moved his body and resisted Kanter!

Facing this old teammate who was a top defensive midfielder, Xia Xing was not sure about getting past him, so he simply went to the body!

He resisted Kanter, used his speed to get rid of him, and faced Rudiger's attack, Xia Xing tapped the ball!

The ball passed between Rudiger's legs!

Bypassing the German defender, Xia Xing took a shot from the penalty area!

The ball hit the net!

Goalkeeper Kepa is powerless!

2 is better than 2!

Manchester United equalizes the score again!

Wonderful!

Ultimately, the game ended in a draw.

Under the invasion of the FIFA virus, it is not easy for Manchester United to take away a point at Stamford Bridge.

Three days later will be Manchester United's biggest challenge.

On the evening of October 10, Old Trafford welcomed their opponent in the third round of this season’s Champions League group stage, Juventus.

There is something special today. In the stadium, where Xia Xing's No. 7 jersey used to hang, there is a new No. 7 jersey next to it.

It says "Cristiano Ronaldo" clearly on it.

Since Xia Xing led the team to win six titles last season, Xia Xing has become a superhero at Old Trafford.

And the last superhero before him is back today.

This is the great respect that Manchester United fans have for their former No. 7!

In the Champions League semi-finals last season, Ronaldo came here on behalf of Real Madrid and received applause from the fans.

And now, Manchester United fans are cheering for him again!

On the court, Xia Xing was chatting with Ronaldo.

"Man, the applause and cheers this time have a special meaning."

"Oh? Is it different from before?"

"Of course, because you have transferred to a new team and now you are back home, Manchester United fans must give you the highest standard of treatment and let your new club see what a passing hero you were."

Looking at Xia Xing's smiling face, Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly sighed.

"Xia, for a certain period of time, I kept competing with Messi, hoping to beat him;

"Later on, you suddenly emerged, and I very much hoped to compete with you, win against you, and prove my worth;

“Until now I am looking forward to winning so much,

"Looking forward to beating Messi and proving that I am the best,

"I look forward to defeating you and proving that the era of double pride is not over.

"But at this moment I suddenly had a feeling,

"If one day we can become teammates and fight side by side,

"That's going to be a lot of fun."

Ronaldo looked at Xia Xing sincerely, and Xia Xing was suddenly moved.

"If one day you get tired of staying at Juventus, go back to Manchester United and we will play football together. When the time comes, I will return the No. 7 jersey."

"Are you really willing to give me back the No. 7 jersey?"

"Of course! It's a deal! As long as you come back!" (End of Chapter)
