Star Card System

It was the 30th minute of the game, and the score was still 0-0.

Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.

I didn't expect that Southampton could do it.

Although Mourinho hid the main players and fielded a substitute lineup in this game, he was still very confident about the championship.

Because the opponent is not a traditional strong team, and the overall strength is far inferior to Manchester United.

But unexpectedly, even so, Manchester United still failed to score.

Especially the central defender Van Dijk, it's crazy!

Next, I must observe him carefully. This bloody guy is very suitable for Manchester United.

Not only Van Dijk, Southampton's attacking players are also threatening.

Just after Martial's shot was punched out by Foster, Southampton also launched a counterattack.

The ball fell at the feet of Hojbjerg. The young midfielder's continuous pulling and changing direction made the two Manchester United players miss!

Long pass!

The ball went straight to the front court!

Find Gabiadini!

The Italian striker sprinted quickly and successfully countered offside!

He passed Rojo's defense!

Push shot outside the penalty area!

Romero fell to the ground to save the ball and held it firmly!

Manchester United escaped!

If it weren't for the heroic performance of the Argentine goalkeeper, Manchester United would have lost the ball first!

The continuous attack was fruitless, and the opponent's counterattack was occasionally threatening, which made Mourinho on the sidelines a little anxious.

Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, he called Xia Xing over.

"Xia!"

"Hmm? What are your arrangements?"

"Press forward and organize the attack!"

"But how to deal with defense?"

"Let Blind press forward appropriately, and temporarily replace your defensive position when you advance."

"Okay!"

Wearing the captain's armband, Xia Xing quickly ran to the defense line and told the defense line Mourinho's latest tactical arrangements.

Blind nodded.

He understood the coach's idea.

Let the parallel four defenders become a front-back three-back position.

This can maximize the liberation of Xia Xing and give the team more offensive opportunities.

After all, the opponent has only one counterattack point, and there is no problem with three defenders, and the wingers can shrink appropriately to assist in defense, no problem.

Now for Manchester United, the most important thing is to score.

In the next period of time, Manchester United's offense has obviously become much more colorful!

Xia Xing's position premise, he moved forward from the 6th position to the 10th position!

With excellent dribbling and passing, his forward insertion makes Southampton very uncomfortable!

You can defend his pass, but he can continue to move forward with the ball!

The opponent's midfielder Steven Davis's grab!

He was directly knocked away by Xia Xing fiercely!

I don't play technology with you at all, I just fight hard!

This hard fight instantly made Manchester United's momentum rise!

This is also what Xia Xing expects to see!

Knocked away the opponent and passed the ball diagonally into the penalty area!

Rashford's push shot almost broke the goal!

Four minutes later, this time it was Xia Xing, Lingard and Mata who passed and controlled continuously!

In the end, Mata shot low in front of the penalty area!

Goalkeeper Foster made another successful save to keep Southampton's goal intact!

The whistle for the end of the first half sounded, and the score was still 0-0.

Although Xia Xing's forward pressure did not lead to a goal in a short time, it quickly changed the team's offensive style.

In the second half, Xia Xing continued to attack fiercely.

In the 66th minute of the game, Xia Xing finally got what he wanted.

Advancing in the middle, knocking horizontally!

Mata made a diagonal pass!

Xia Xing quickly followed up, again on the other side!

Lingard passed the ball without stopping!

Xia Xing sprinted to receive the ball again!

Two consecutive two-on-ones, Manchester United's frontcourt cooperation was very bold!

Xia Xing has come to the penalty area!

The strong Van Dijk will not spoil Xia Xing!

He rushed up to steal the ball!

Xia Xing lightly flicked the ball to the left!

The ball passed between Van Dijk's legs!

The Dutch central defender was passed!

Van Dijk was angry and turned around quickly to get on the body!

He stuck close to Xia Xing and prevented him from making any moves!

But Xia Xing was not afraid at all!

He shook his body vigorously and squeezed him tit for tat!

Van Dijk even trembled and was almost squeezed away!

The space was enough for this one move!

Xia Xing shot!

In the penalty area, his shot was like a thunderstorm in Foster's ears!

The ball hit his scalp and went into the net!

The ball went in!

1-0!

Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!

Xia Xing's wonderful shot helped the team take the lead!

With a goal in hand, Manchester United was much more confident.

In the 75th minute of the game, Xia Xing made another diagonal pass, accurately finding Rashford who was sprinting quickly!

Rashford successfully countered offside!

He pushed the ball into the net in the penalty area!

2-0!

Manchester United scored another goal!

At this time, Southampton finally couldn't help it, and they also pressed out to attack!

But in front of this Manchester United, their offense was far less outstanding than their defense.

With two goals in hand and the opponent attacking fiercely, Xia Xing decisively retreated to organize defense.

Southampton counterattacked fiercely at one point, but with Xia Xing in charge, their attack was really ineffective.

In the 85th minute of the game, Xia Xing intercepted the ball in the backcourt and suddenly rushed forward!

He saw that the opponent's middle was empty and decisively counterattacked!

Rashford and Martial in the frontcourt pulled along the two sides to make room in the middle for Xia Xing!

Xia Xing drove the ball all the way in!

Van Dijk rushed up again!

Another Japanese player, Maya Yoshida, who was nearly 1.9 meters tall, also came up!

Two high-level defenders, closed the door to Xia Xing!

But Xia Xing didn't care!

Before they closed the door, Xia Xing had already kicked!

Kicked and shot!

The ball hit the net!

3-0!

Manchester United won completely!

Now Xia Xing can finally celebrate with a smile!

Looking at the excited Manchester United players, Van Dijk and Maya Yoshida looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

This Manchester United is too strong.

This is just their second team. If the main lineup comes, how can the game be played?

But think about it again, Xia Xing scored two goals and made one assist in this game. Even if the main team comes, there will be no stronger opponent than him.

This final is such a pity...

In the last few minutes, Southampton completely lost hope.

After the last weak shot by the attacking player, the referee blew the whistle!

"The game is over!

"This wonderful game ended with Manchester United winning 3-0!

"Southampton has done their best, but unfortunately, they met the strongest opponent - Manchester United!

"Even if it is just Manchester United's substitute lineup, they played with the momentum of the Premier League leader today!

"Especially xia's performance, another world-class performance!

"Two shots and one assist!

"He became the absolute hero of this game!

"Not only him, Romero, Rojo, Blind,

"They also played world-class performances!

"Let's applaud them again!

"And Mourinho!

"His perfect deployment of troops makes Manchester United players feel at home!

"This is his first final as Manchester United coach,

"Successfully won!

"Mourinho's Red Devils, the first championship of the season!" (End of this chapter)
