Star card system.

December 2, the 10th round of the Premier League.

Manchester United VS Tottenham.

This is an ordinary Premier League game, nothing special about it.

But for Manchester United fans, it means a lot.

An old friend came home today.

At Old Trafford, countless fans stood up and applauded, and the applause resounded from the sky.

This applause is dedicated to their beloved coach Mourinho!

Madman returns to Dream Theater!

Six-time champion coach returns to Manchester!

Mourinho has not returned to Old Trafford since his departure.

It shouldn’t be said that I haven’t been back to Manchester.

Even some time ago, he didn't even answer anyone's phone calls, including Xia Xing's.

He was very unhappy about his departure.

He once wanted to put his future in Manchester and work for a lifetime like Sir Alex Ferguson. That would be great.

But modern football, or the Glazer family, did not give him such a status.

Eventually, he left.

The Tottenham players who entered the stadium first were warming up on the court. Mourinho waved from the sidelines and thanked the fans for their applause.

This impressed the Spurs soldiers on the field.

He is worthy of being the coach who has brought the highest honor to Manchester United. Looking at the cards, he is awesome!

Soon, the Manchester United general also walked out of the locker room and came to the court.

Solskjaer was the first to walk out. He walked straight towards Mourinho and the two shook hands in a friendly manner.

For Mourinho, Solskjaer is grateful.

Because after he came to Manchester United, he once asked Mourinho for some advice.

Especially the current situation of Manchester United.

Mourinho knew everything and gave him a lot of help.

Especially the use of some veterans has solved a big problem for Solskjaer.

Goodbye now, naturally and cordially.

De Gea, Lingard and other players who came out later also enthusiastically stepped forward to hug Mourinho.

They had a great relationship when Mourinho was in office.

Looking at a famous player in front of him, Mourinho even felt a little wet in his eyes.

He couldn't bear to part with them.

And when Xia Xing ended up in the locker room, Mourinho almost cried.

Two minutes ago, when Li was listening to the applause of the audience in the player tunnel, Xia Xing knew what was going on, so he deliberately walked slower to give himself more time to be alone.

Now the last one came out, Xia Xing walked quickly to Mourinho and hugged him hard.

"Coach, I miss you so much!"

"Xia, me too!"

"I don't think you are. You don't even answer my calls."

Mourinho smiled.

"It's not that I don't want to answer, it's just that I don't know what to say."

"You are such a good talker, and when you are at a loss for words?"

"Of course, it's difficult to express my feelings for you and Manchester United."

"why?"

"Because you will never know how much I love you and Manchester United."

A sigh.

But looking at Mourinho's Tottenham training uniform, Xia Xing was relieved.

"This outfit suits you very well."

"not bad."

"Then I wish you all the best at Tottenham."

"Thank you."

"But you will definitely not be successful in this game because I am here!"

Xia Xing turned around and ran onto the court, his firm steps making Mourinho suddenly nervous.

Mourinho is confident when facing any opponent.

Even if the person standing opposite is Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, it doesn't matter. It’s not like he didn’t step on their corpses to win the championship.

But now, when the opponent becomes Xia Xing, Mourinho is a little worried.

No one here knows who Xia Xing is better than him.

Not to mention that the opponent is Manchester United, even if it is the Manchester United youth team plus Xia Xing, Xia Xing dares to say this today.

It's even possible to create miracles.

Leading Manchester United is definitely Mourinho's most difficult experience.

But luckily, Xia Xing is on the team.

In his two-and-a-half-year coaching career, Xia Xing has turned the tide countless times and helped the team turn around.

The overall strength of the Manchester United team is not particularly strong.

If there is no summer trip, then it will only be second-rate in Europe.

Mourinho even dared to say that.

But with Xia Xing, they are a super team.

This game is not easy to play...

Tottenham still played with all their main players today, and Manchester United did not show any weakness and discharged all their main players.

Xia Xing is still the core of the frontcourt.

Fred was injured in this game and James took a rest, so Solskjaer started Drinkwater and B Fee.

4-2-3-1 formation,

Goalkeeper De Gea,

The back four of Luke Shaw, Lindelof, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka,

Double defensive midfielder Matic and Drinkwater,

Three attacking midfielders: Rashford, Xia Xing, and B Fei.

Center Greenwood.

Sitting on the bench are Lingard, Mata, Drinkwater, McTominay, Martial, B Fee, Ighalo and other players.

As soon as the game started, Manchester United launched a fierce attack.

Xia Xing organized the midfield, passed the ball continuously to Drinkwater who was inserted in the back row, and finally called B Fei in the front right with a diagonal kick!

Fee B caught the ball and shot a blast from outside the penalty area!

The ball goes straight to the goal!

Lori fought hard to save, but the ball was blocked!

Tottenham escaped!

Soon, Manchester United's attack came again.

This time it was Xia Xing's diagonal pass to the left, and the ball went straight to Rashford!

Rashford received the ball and accelerated, dodged the angle, and volleyed from the penalty area line!

The ball slides past!

Manchester United almost scored again!

Less than ten minutes into the game, Manchester United fired two consecutive shots, and Tottenham's defense was in turmoil.

Looking back at Tottenham, they have never had such an exquisite long pass from midfield.

This winter, Tottenham's core Eriksen left through transfer.

After leaving the team with half a year left in the contract, Tottenham only received a transfer fee of 2700 million euros.

This makes Tottenham very passive.

If he could sell people last summer, at least the transfer fee could be doubled, and there would still be time to add new players.

Now, there are simply no good enough substitutes on the transfer market and Mourinho is at his wits end.

Now, they can only rely on the personal abilities of the frontcourt offensive players to create opportunities.

Especially the "Sun-Kai" combination.

However, from the first minute of this game, the two were completely frozen by Manchester United's defense.

Maguire is closely guarding Harry Kane. The two national team teammates know each other well and are evenly matched.

In the midfield position, Drinkwater's large-scale running is also a chess piece designed to deal with Son Heung-min.

Matic's assisting defense and the shrinking of the defense make it even more difficult for Son Heung-min to fully utilize his technical advantages.

Until half an hour into the game, neither of the two had any decent cooperation.

Tottenham's only two attacks were created by Alli.

But here at Manchester United, this is not the case.

Xia Xing was very active in the frontcourt. He completely let himself go today and devoted himself to the offense.

Today, he vowed to do his best in front of Mourinho! (End of chapter)
