Chapter 833 The first goal of the new season!
"Manchester United won their first championship of the season! Let us congratulate them!"

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer's congratulations have become the sound of nature in the ears of Manchester United fans this season.

We are the Super Bowl champions, so great!
In addition to a victory, Ronaldo's successful comeback also delighted Manchester United fans.

Although he only played for less than twenty minutes, he showed excellent competitive status and also had a wonderful assist.

This is enough to make fans look forward to Manchester United's performance in the new season.

After winning the European Super Cup on August 8, the Manchester United soldiers did not stay too much and returned to Manchester from Northern Ireland early the next morning.

Because the game in a few days is very important.

Not only is it the first game of the Premier League this season, but it is also the famous "Rose Derby".

Facing Leeds United, this game must be won.

Before the game, there were no fewer than ten minor conflicts between fans from both sides outside the stadium.

The sports reporter who was interviewing the fans on the sidelines faced the camera and sighed with emotion: "Some football experts once said that the current Rose Derby is no longer what it used to be. Because Leeds United simply does not have the size and strength to cause a conflict with Manchester United, the Double Reds will Or the Manchester derby, which better reflects the fierce competition, but if you look at the fans outside the stadium, you will not say this. Indeed, the two sides are not on the same level at the competitive level, and even the players on the two teams are not very good. It feels like a derby, but for the fans, the feud that once was a civil war has already surpassed the level of an ordinary derby. The naked hatred cannot be added to them. For them, if they lose to Liverpool or Manchester City, it will be at best. At a competitive level, if they don’t perform well in this game, the Manchester United players will be scolded by their own fans.”

This is quite true.

Xia Xing, who was sitting on the bus, also understood very well.

Just like every time there is a match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team, Chinese fans will rise to the level of national hatred to face the game.

The same is true now.

Moreover, this game is not easy to play.

Last season, Leeds United, as a newly promoted team in the Premier League, played quite well and ended up ranking ninth in the league at the end of the season.

Many powerful players in the team have performed at the top level.

And this season, they still bought a number of quality players to continue to strengthen their strength.

The 24-year-old defender Firpo transferred from Barcelona and cost 1500 million euros. This price is quite cheap. Barcelona sold Leeds United a favor. They are currently observing Leeds United's top attacker Raphinha and are preparing in advance for future moves.

At the same time, 24-year-old Manchester City forward Jack Harrison was bought out. This transfer was only 1280 million euros. Manchester City signed the young Harrison in the winter of 2018 and loaned him to Leeds United half a year later. During the three seasons of the loan, Harrison helped Leeds United move from the Championship to the Premier League and then gain a foothold in the Premier League. His contribution was outstanding and he finally decided to stay. Here, after all, he has no place when he returns to Manchester City.

In addition, Leeds United also introduced 23-year-old Welsh forward James from Manchester United. This transfer is nearly 3000 million euros.

The two clubs are considered feuding, but the bosses of both sides don't have so many scruples and do business as they should.

As the team's main rotation player last season, James has been gradually taken away from his main position by Greenwood. His decision to leave this summer is also based on competitive considerations. After all, from age, talent, ability, potential and even household registration, etc. Considering that James can't compete with Greenwood, leaving Manchester United can be regarded as a decision after careful consideration.

With the addition of many strong players, Leeds United is looking forward to more for the future this season.

Crazy coach Bielsa has great ambitions for the new season, and his goal is to qualify for the European Cup.

Facing Manchester United in the first game, he is determined to win even if it is away from home.

On the evening of August 8, a big battle ushered in at Old Trafford.

Leeds United was a guest in this game. They arranged a 4-1-4-1 formation, with James and Raphinha on the left and right, and center Bamford in charge.

他们秉持了上赛季的阵型特点，经常从4-1-4-1瞬间变成4-1-2-3，攻击力十足。

Even at Old Trafford, they didn't care.

On Manchester United's side, Solskjaer has put together a starting lineup that has been brewing for a long time.

Still a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper De Gea,
The back four of Luke Shaw, Varane, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka,
Double defensive midfielder Matic and Fred,

Three attacking midfielders: Rashford, Xia Xing and Sancho.
Center Ronaldo.

Cavani, Greenwood, Van de Beek, Drinkwater, McTominay and other players are ready to go on the bench. It is worth mentioning that Pogba is still recovering from injury, and the specific situation is unknown.

Xia Xing doesn't care about him either, he loves him as much as he likes.

Now he only cares about the new season.

In the midfield, Ronaldo stepped lightly on the ball and looked back at Xia Xing.

Xia Xing is also looking at him.

They both nodded at the same time.

Dude, it'll be up to you later.

No problem, I’ll feed you cake until you vomit.

They both laughed.

OK, let’s do it!

The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!
Manchester United took the lead to kick off, and Ronaldo quickly moved forward after passing the ball to Rashford in the center circle.

Sancho followed suit.

The ball came to the feet of Xia Xing behind him.

Two Leeds United players from the opposing team rushed forward, and one even made a sliding tackle!
This is quite provocative!

But Xia Xing doesn't care!

He didn't choose to pass the ball, but fought hard!

On this occasion, this kind of confrontation, if you avoid it, it will definitely affect your morale!
Since you are here, let's do it!

Facing center Bamford's tackle and the pressing pressure of Rodrigo next to him, Xia Xing pulled the ball back slightly.

Seems like it's avoiding the edge?
Soon, everyone understood!
This is the bow draw before shooting!
Pull the ball back, use a charged defense to suddenly sprint forward, pick up the ball with your left foot, and take off with your right foot!

This action directly shocked the Leeds United players!

By the time they reacted, Xia Xing had already ridden away!

Bamford, who made the tackle, felt a chill on his head, and Xia Xing passed over his body!
And Rodrigo next to him didn't expect Xia Xing to jump like this at all, and was even thrown away!
Xia Xing directly passed two opposing players with one move!

"Wonderful performance!

"Just when Leeds United were about to launch a fierce attack, they were suddenly left behind!
"Wonderful escape!

“Leeds United’s center is empty now!

“They were already pressing and they didn’t expect to concede the ball so quickly!

"Xia dribbles the ball and accelerates!
"He's already in the Leeds half!

"Cristiano Ronaldo moves quickly, Rashford and Sancho are also pulling the opponent's defense!
"Leeds United are in trouble!
"It's about 35 meters away from the goal. How will Xia Xing choose?

"He chose to shoot directly!
“Excellent!
"This blast shot directly opened the goal guarded by goalkeeper Melier!

"1-0!

"Manchester United breaks the deadlock!

"Captain Red Devil's opening critical attack!"
