Star Card System

Standing on the court, Pogba felt very good.

Because he could finally make his own decisions.

Manchester United now belongs to him!

Yes, he really thinks so.

In addition to his amazing skills this season, the biggest highlight of Xia Xing is his sufficient physical strength.

Xia Xing can play in almost every game, and he can play for 90 minutes with sufficient physical strength.

This is very powerful.

Pogba can even partner with Xia Xing in every game.

Even if he wins, Pogba always feels that something is missing.

Now that Xia Xing is gone, he has become the midfield overlord alone!

This is the feeling he wants!

Moreover, the captain and vice-captain Rooney and Carrick are not on the field. The offensive and defensive rhythm of this team is almost decided by him alone!

Pogba made a burst shot just at the beginning of the second half!

Although the shot did not go in, it also flew out of the bottom line close to the goal post, and the power was so great that the opponent's goalkeeper did not react at all.

The away fans applauded.

The score was now 0-0, and Manchester United fans were eager for the team to break the deadlock.

Five minutes later, Pogba made another long diagonal pass, and the ball found Martial who was sprinting quickly.

Martial pushed the ball into the far corner, and the ball slipped out of the goal.

Just a little bit short.

Even so, Pogba's pass still received applause from the fans.

Next, with Pogba's control, Manchester United's midfield obviously recovered, changing the situation of being suppressed by the opponent in the first half.

20 minutes into the second half, Manchester United and the opponent had offensive and defensive exchanges, and had three excellent opportunities, all of which almost scored.

Even Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't help but admire.

"Manchester United is really talented! Xia was just replaced, and now Pogba is here! This young French midfielder is definitely a top talent! I even think his ball sense is the closest to Zidane's French genius I have ever seen! The pass and shot just now were very smart and spiritual!"

Carragher curled his lips: "So Xia is the only one in Manchester United, maybe he sacrificed the performance of his opponents to achieve his own Golden Ball."

Alan Shearer: "What you said is a bit too much..."

Carragher: "Look at when Xia was on the court, Pogba at least didn't have as much freedom and opportunities as he does now."

Alan Shearer didn't refute this time.

This is true.

Any top team will face this situation. There are many talented players in the team, but the ball is limited and must be distributed reasonably.

Even Ronaldo, who won four Golden Balls, has many black fans saying that he grabbed Benzema and Bale's ball rights, affecting the number of goals scored by the two.

But when Ronaldo is occasionally injured, Benzema and Bale's goals are clear at a glance.

If a team can give the ball and the right to fire to one person, it proves that this person is definitely at the top level, there is no doubt about that.

For example, in Barcelona, ​​Xavi and Iniesta do not have this problem. The dual-core play of the two as the core is very suitable for the lineup configuration of top stars of the same level.

And now Xia Xing and Pogba are obviously a little different.

But today, Xia Xing, who is in poor form, is obviously not in this list, and is obviously not as good as Pogba at the moment.

In the 71st minute of the game, Pogba made a long pass to Rashford, who received the ball and scored a goal!

1 to 0!

Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!

This goal made Manchester United fans excited!

Pogba rushed to the sidelines and interacted excitedly with the fans!

Even Mourinho was full of smiles.

This French kid is really good!

If he can be more stable and more disciplined, then he will definitely become a world-class star!

He may even become the next Manchester United player to win the Golden Ball Award!

With a goal in hand, Manchester United players were in a good mood.

But the team was in poor form as a whole today.

In the 85th minute of the game, Crystal Palace counterattacked, Zaha received the ball and ran with it!

Pogba made a defensive move, but Zaha quickly changed direction and passed him!

Then, Zaha sprinted all the way along the right side to Manchester United's penalty area!

Passed three people in a row!

Low shot into the net!

1 to 1! Crystal Palace scored the equalizer!

The home team fans cheered excitedly!

Carragher in the live broadcast room curled his lips: "The former Manchester United player hit Manchester United hard, and their three-point hope is about to fall through. This shot made Pogba's efforts fall through. He was in excellent condition in the second half of the game. If he replaced Xia earlier, maybe Manchester United would score more goals, and maybe they wouldn't have to face this situation of being tied."

Alan Shearer shook his head: "If Xia was still on the court, he would face Zaha's breakthrough directly on the wing, and this goal would most likely not appear. After all, Xia's defensive ability is far superior to Pogba."

Mourinho on the sidelines also shook his head repeatedly, dissatisfied with the loss of the ball.

But even if the tactics were adjusted, Manchester United could not overtake in the last few minutes.

The final whistle sounded, and Manchester United had no choice but to get a draw.

The score of 1 to 1 is really regrettable.

But even so, Manchester United fans are still not panicking.

After all, their lead is still in double digits, so there is no rush.

Mourinho is not in a hurry either.

But someone is in a hurry.

The day after returning from Crystal Palace, the entire Manchester United team rested and Mourinho also gave the coaching staff a day off.

On this day, except for him who was still in the office looking through the information of the next few rounds of opponents, the training ground was empty.

At this time, the landline phone on the table suddenly rang.

"Hello, this is Jose."

"Jose, this is Ed."

"Oh, Ed, I didn't expect it was you who called."

The caller was Manchester United's CEO - Ed Woodward.

He joined Manchester United in 2005 and became Manchester United's executive vice chairman in 2012. He is a die-hard Manchester United fan and a typical professional manager.

That's right, he doesn't look like a football player, but more like a manager.

He has made great contributions to Manchester United, which is undeniable, but most of these contributions are in the business field.

He has made Manchester United, which has been declining year by year, still rank among the top in the business field, and his ability to raise money is world-class.

But he doesn't care about things in the football field.

At Manchester United, he has a nickname - "Ghost".

This is because unlike his predecessor David Gill, who often appeared at the Carrington training ground, Woodward basically never showed up, so Manchester United players called him "ghost", mocking the CEO for rarely appearing at Carrington to communicate with the players.

But this is also his characteristic, he only cares about making money and doesn't care about anything else.

On this game rest day, he actually called Mourinho, which made Mourinho very puzzled.

"I guessed you were in the office. I'll go find you now. Are you free?"

"If you are free, come. But I still want to know in advance, why are you looking for me?"

"Haha, you are still this impatient. Okay, I'll tell you in advance."

"All ears."

"I hope you can give Pogba more opportunities, how about it?"
