This championship is still relatively important.

Suzhou and Hangzhou fought fiercely, and in the 4th minute of the game, Manchester United's offense came to the edge of the Crystal Palace penalty area. Balotelli, who was on the left side of the penalty area, suddenly passed the football back to the center, and Pogba came up and won the ball with a heavy volley!

The football roared out and flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal.

Manchester United fans are very excited. Are they going to get a good start? Is this going to bring the ball in?

With a snap, Alisson, who was flying into the air, touched his feet with one palm.

The ball lifted the baseline.

Manchester United's offense is still very fierce, showing their momentum and determination from the beginning, which is not a good thing for Crystal Palace.

Corner kick, Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity.

But the football was firmly held by Alisson, and Manchester United missed an excellent opportunity.

Manchester United played very well at the beginning of the game, threatening Crystal Palace's goal one after another. This makes the Manchester United fans very happy and excited. They all feel that if this game continues like this, the winner must be their Manchester United team.

And the media reporters in the stands thought so too.

In this game, the state and morale of Manchester United are obviously much better than that of Crystal Palace. Manchester United must win this game.

However, Mourinho does not think so. He feels that the game has just begun and it is still early to win.

The Crystal Palace team is very strong and cannot be underestimated.

At this moment, the Crystal Palace players launched a quick attack.

The expressions on the faces of the Manchester United fans suddenly dropped. They were still quite ugly and dangerous.

After consecutive passes in the midfield, De Bruyne suddenly made a diagonal pass directly to Asensio in the frontcourt while holding the ball forward quickly. After receiving the ball, Asensio immediately cut inside with the ball and got out of the way. When everyone thought he was about to take a shot, Asensio made a reverse diagonal pass and passed the football to Ibrahimovic who was coming up diagonally.

Ibrahimovic, who was catching up with the ball, didn't care about the small angle of the shot, and immediately volleyed with his legs.

Bailly's reaction was a little slow and he couldn't keep up. He could only watch Ibrahimovic take off and shoot.

The speed of the ball was really very fast, which made the Manchester United fans look livid.

It's dangerous!

The football flew out with a swish. Ferguson in the stands felt his heart skip a beat. The ball was hanging in the air.

Fortunately, De Gea is focused and chooses his position very well. He happens to be on the flight path of the football and holds the football in his arms very calmly.

Bang bang bang!

Manchester United fans breathed a sigh of relief and cheered De Gea's name excitedly.

The ball happened to belong to De Gea. If it hadn't been for De Gea, the ball would have been lost.

Manchester United fans feel like they've been ruined for the rest of their lives!

De Gea immediately rushed out with the football in his arms and threw a powerful hand ball to launch a quick counterattack. Unfortunately, he became scolded for not noticing the players rushing up behind him, and was immediately cut off by Asensio who rushed up. Then Asensio kicked directly

The long pass quickly moves the football to the other side.

On the other side, Mbappe provided a cover for Carvajal who came in behind. Carvajal rushed up, spotted the flying football and passed it directly across the middle with his legs. The football flew out quickly and arced directly into Manchester United's penalty area.

Manchester United defender Alexander.

Bailly jumped up immediately, but unfortunately the football was hit by Ibrahimovic who also jumped up. Unfortunately, the football went directly over the crossbar and flew out of the baseline.

Crystal Palace fans are very sorry.

This opportunity was actually good. Unfortunately, due to interference, Ibrahimovic did not hit the right spot and missed a very good opportunity. This is indeed a pity, and the Crystal Palace fans can't accept it.

During this period, both teams have opportunities, and it seems that everyone has similar opportunities.

Everyone was in good shape in this game, and it was quite evenly matched.

Soon Manchester United's attack came again. Pogba advanced with the ball, using his speed to directly pass the defender, and then quickly went straight into the Crystal Palace penalty area. Unfortunately, the forward forward Balotelli did not catch the ball, and the ball was poked out by Van Dijk's outstretched leg.

Manchester United also missed a good opportunity here.

Witsel quickly passed the ball directly to Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt, and the Crystal Palace fans were very happy.

Ibrahimovic and Ginter jumped up at the same time, and then Ginter pushed the ball out and made a clearance.

Bang bang bang!

At the scene, the fans of Manchester United were very satisfied. They did a good job in bringing in Ginter!

Manchester United fans are very satisfied with this signing. Mourinho has really done some good things since coming to Manchester United. Manchester United fans are quite happy.

The football flew to Lingard's feet again.

Your Emperor Lin is infinitely arrogant!

Unfortunately, this time he didn't get arrogant at all. As soon as the football came to his feet, it was intercepted by Kanter who appeared from behind. Kanter was really too fast. Lingard was completely unprepared, and it took him a while to react after the table football was intercepted.

At this time, Kanter had already sent the football forward.

The football rolled to the feet of De Bruyne who retreated to get the ball. De Bruyne did not stop the ball, but quickly passed the football to the wing. Carvajal from the wing immediately came up, received the football, took the football forward two steps, and then passed the football diagonally to the feet of De Bruyne who turned around and accelerated forward in a confusing manner.

Danger, Crystal Palace's attack is coming again.

The Manchester United fans in the stands were quite nervous and worried.

Very dangerous.

Pogba immediately rushed forward, rushed from the side and intercepted directly. Unexpectedly, at this moment, De Bruyne suddenly dodged and smashed the ball laterally, past Pogba who was rushing towards him, and then he continued to move forward with the ball and headed towards Manchester United's penalty area.

The danger is coming, the danger is coming for Manchester United.
