Chapter 372 The explosive power of the iron body

There are many excellent midfield passers in this Manchester City team now.

David Silva is a typical Spanish passer.

His pass is not only accurate, but also just right. He can pass the ball suddenly between fast passes and receptions, which is very fast.

De Bruyne is better at long passes. Whether it is a cross from the wing or a long pass from the middle, he is a good hand.

Now some football critics even conclude that De Bruyne will become the next Xavi in the future.

This is a high evaluation.

The pass just now was extremely accurate!

Manchester United's defensive formation is very solid, but even so, De Bruyne still found the only gap!

The ball was passed between the cross defense of Ashley Young and Fellaini!

Sterling quickly moved forward, he is very fast!

Central defender Bailly was only one step away and failed to prevent him from kicking!

The shot was on point!

But it was just a little bit away, and the ball hit the side net.

Manchester City missed the opportunity to lead the score at the start.

But even so, Manchester City's opening attack still opened up the situation.

The Blue Moon's attack started, and the momentum was high.

After Manchester United defended the opponent's two attacks at the beginning, the defense was more subdued.

Especially the two wingbacks, they retreated as much as possible.

Even Mkhitaryan was participating in the defense just now.

Let alone Xia Xing.

During this period, Xia Xing retreated to the midfield and frequently assisted in defense.

One minute, he used his body to force Fernandinho down in a defense.

You know, Fei Niao's physical fitness is quite good. He was able to squeeze Fei Niao down in a head-on confrontation, which surprised the Manchester City players.

And three minutes later, Xia Xing once again defended on the left side, and a reasonable collision pushed De Bruyne away, and the ball was still controlled.

Xia Xing made a long pass, and Ibrahimovic in the penalty area forced a shot, and the ball slipped out of the goal, just a little bit short.

This attack was normal, nothing special, but Xia Xing's performance in ten minutes surprised Manchester City's generals and coaches!

What happened?

De Bruyne, who had just been pushed away, was still shaking his sore arm.

Fei Niao came over and asked with concern: "Is your arm okay?"

De Bruyne shook his head: "I'm fine."

Fei Niao pouted: "What's wrong with that guy? Didn't the coach say he was a technical player? How can this be a technical player? He is a meat shield type..."

De Bruyne frowned and looked at Xia Xing who retreated to the left: "I don't know how this guy is trained, why is it so unreasonable..."

Yes, it's very unreasonable.

At the beginning of the 2014-2015 season, De Bruyne had played against Xia Xing.

At that time, De Bruyne was in high spirits and looked forward to showing his style in the Europa League.

The opponent of Wolfsburg's draw turned out to be a Premier League promoted team, which made him feel very good.

It was just a Championship team last season, and it only qualified for the Europa League by winning the FA Cup.

It seems that Wolfsburg is sure to advance, and it is the first in the group!

But the final result disappointed him.

In the two rounds of the game, Leicester City won one and drew one, surpassing Wolfsburg to advance, and Wolfsburg was finally eliminated in the third place in the group.

In those two games, the best player was Xia Xing.

Even surpassed his performance.

At that time, Xia Xing showed a top technical level that De Bruyne still remembers.

After that, he transferred to the Premier League and joined Manchester City.

Last season, he played against Leicester City again, and he saw what the top young talent is.

Led Leicester City to win the Premier League, the Champions League, and the five-time champion.

Xia Xing's strength made him admire him very much, especially his technical level.

But he didn't expect to see Xia Xing again this season, and his strength has been greatly improved again!

Especially his physical fitness, as if he had risen to a higher level!

Moreover, he seemed to have grown a lot taller!

He has speed, skills, organization, passing and shooting skills. This is what De Bruyne said about Xia Xing before.

And now, he has a strong body.

And he is extremely strong.

Not to mention himself, even Fernandinho was squeezed out. Can he still do it?

Is it only captain Kompany who can stop him?

Xia Xing's strength not only surprised Manchester City players, but also surprised Manchester City coach Guardiola.

What's the situation?

He has been paying attention to Xia Xing since two seasons ago.

And the bid for Xia Xing started last summer.

Guardiola had already reached an agreement with Manchester City, so he had already arranged Manchester City's transfer in advance.

Especially De Bruyne's transfer, which made many people confused at the time.

Guardiola has been showing goodwill, and De Bruyne also likes Guardiola very much. Why didn't he go to Bayern in the end, but transferred to Manchester City?

The power of gold and dollar football is extraordinary.

But unexpectedly, this is not the power of money-driven football, but the charm of Guardiola.

He has already made plans in advance.

And in these plans, Xia Xing is also included.

But even if Manchester City spent a lot of money last season, they failed to dig Xia Xing.

And in the end, Xia Xing also made the right choice and achieved the feat of winning five championships.

This summer, Guardiola made another move and even called to invite him personally.

But he still failed to get what he wanted.

Moreover, the players he favored also went to the opponent's camp.

Guardiola likes Xia Xing very much. He not only has excellent physical fitness, but also has top-notch skills and excellent passing and control. He is really a good core for passing and controlling football.

Compared to De Bruyne, Guardiola feels that Xia Xing is more like Xavi.

But I didn’t expect that Xia Xing would change after just one summer of not seeing each other!

It turned into a steel body like a human shield!

And his height has increased so much!

What's happening here?

In the opening few attacks, Xia Xing played a huge role in defense!

In addition to several direct interceptions of the ball, the movement, assisting defense and supplementary positions in the overall defense have a very suppressive effect on Manchester City's offense.

Especially when he broke through De Bruyne's defense just now and even caused a very threatening counterattack.

This young man xia is really a football genius!

It is now the 15th minute of the game, and Manchester City's opening attack has slowed down slightly.

Mourinho's eyes lit up on the side of the pitch!

This is a great opportunity!

He was about to whistle or call out to the players to give some secret hint,

But at this time, Xia Xing suddenly started!

Like Mourinho, he discovered Manchester City's change of pace!

Their offensive pace has slowed down!

What a good opportunity!

Taking the ball from the left and facing the defense, Xia Xing had no reservations this time!

Suddenly he made an inside cut and started sprinting along the middle!
