Star Card System

Brazilian teenager Neres is a young talent that Ajax just brought from Brazil this winter.

He is 20 years old and cost Ajax 17.5 million euros.

The price is not cheap.

But even so, Ajax management still thinks they bought the right person.

Because during the time he joined the team, he showed great potential.

He just joined the team and played in the second team in the Dutch second division. He scored two goals and one assist in four games and performed well.

After being promoted to the Dutch first division, he scored three goals and one assist in five starts.

In other games, even as a substitute, he can often use his excellent dribbling and speed to tear open the opponent's defense.

With Neres, Ajax no longer has to worry about the lack of wing attackers after the loan player Traore left the team.

Next season must belong to Neres' season!

He was originally a substitute in this game, and Bosz did not intend to give him a chance.

But now the team needs to score goals, and it's time for him to come on the court.

He came on as a substitute and rushed to the front court quickly. He is going to start his own performance.

Fellaini closely guarded Neres, putting continuous defensive pressure on this striker who liked to retreat to get the ball.

However, just when the ball was passed to his feet, Neres suddenly lobbed the ball backwards!

Then he turned and accelerated!

Fellaini was passed!

Just this one action disrupted Manchester United's defensive system!

Xia Xing made up in time!

Decisive sliding tackle!

Neres' shot hit Xia Xing's calf and bounced out of the baseline!

Manchester United escaped a disaster!

You should know that when Neres lobbed the ball just now, Manchester United's defense was not fully prepared.

They didn't expect Neres to pass Fellaini in this way.

Fellaini, who was still bickering with Neres a few minutes ago, suddenly became a clown at this moment.

Burning with anger!

In a defense, Fellaini was merciless this time!

A direct heavy kick knocked Neres to the ground!

The referee blew the whistle!

Free kick!

Yellow card!

This made Mourinho on the sidelines very anxious!

This guy is too reckless!

Carrick also came up to remind him.

"Dude, don't be in a hurry, take your time."

"But his passing just now was too insulting..."

"It would be really embarrassing if you get sent off with a red card."

"I know, I'll pay attention next time..."

Pay attention next time, but defense can't be guaranteed.

Carrick knew it very well.

So he exchanged positions with Fellaini and was responsible for marking Neres.

Use rich experience and smart football IQ to make up for the lack of physical fitness and strength.

Fortunately, Neres is not Neymar, not the kind of super genius with good speed, dribbling and shooting.

For a period of time, he was blocked by Carrick, and two consecutive opportunities were resolved.

At this time, the game has reached the 88th minute.

This time Neres suddenly accelerated and cruised to the left side!

Carrick was not fast enough and couldn't keep up!

The ball was passed in time!

It was another wonderful pass from De Jong!

"Neres started to sprint along the left side!

"This time, Carrick was thrown away directly!

"Although Neres is not known for his speed, he is still much faster than the old Carrick!

"Fellaini accelerated his sprint and quickly helped defend!

"Neres couldn't use his speed to get rid of him, so he suddenly cut inside!

"The ball passed between Fellaini's legs!

"He passed the Belgian midfielder again!

"In front of the technical genius, the rough Fellaini suffered a lot!

"Valencia slowly retreated and didn't rush to grab the ball!

"This is a very smart move!

"At this time, Ajax's three forwards have already rushed up. If Valencia loses his position, there will be no one to fill in!

"Neres suddenly rushed to the side!

"It's obvious that he wants to rush to the bottom line and cross the ball!

"Valencia hurriedly followed!

"Neres changed direction again!

"This time he cut inside again!

"And he dribbled the ball very far at once!

"It won enough reaction time for himself!

"Valencia chased back quickly, but he was still a step slower!

"The shift in his center of gravity just now made him unable to keep up with Neres!

"Neres is showing his prowess!"

"He is the king of Ajax's left wing!"

"He is at the edge of the penalty area!"

"Kick!"

"Shoot into the far corner of the goal!"

"The ball has a huge arc!"

"The angle is tricky!"

"A great opportunity!"

"Romero blocked the ball with his fingertips!"

"The Argentine goalkeeper has done a great job again!"

"This save is so crucial!"

"As the game was about to enter injury time, Manchester United kept the goal intact!

"The fourth official held up the card for three minutes. As long as they can hold on for another three minutes,

"The championship is in hand!"

"Can Ajax get the second point?"

"The ball was grabbed by left-back Damian, and Ajax's attack ended..."

Just the end?

No, it's not!

Football is like life, one end often means the beginning of the next!

Carragher was still immersed in the regret that Neres had just failed to score, but Alan Shearer next to him suddenly became excited!

Because he smelled a special and familiar smell!

"The ball fell to Damian's feet!

"It shouldn't be said that Damian grabbed the ball!

"His position selection is very good!

"As a typical Italian defender, his career at Manchester United was not particularly successful.

“The fast-paced game of the Premier League makes him a little uncomfortable.

"But it doesn't matter!

“He still works hard to show all his strength!

“Especially in this game, the left wing he defended was almost watertight!

"Although he does not have the quick assist ability of Ashley Young and Luke Shaw,

“But solid defense is his biggest feature!

"The defensive cooperation between him and xia was very good in this game!

“Now, it’s him who chooses his position in advance and gets the second point first!

"Traore goes for it!

“Damian didn’t stick to the ball and made a decisive move!

"The ball is passed forward, look for xia!"

"Xia is already waiting not far from him at this moment!

“Catch the ball, turn around and sprint!

"Van der Beek, who came on as a substitute, was directly rushed by at a high speed!

"Xia keeps accelerating!

"De Jong shovels diagonally!

“The defense this time was very fierce, and it was aimed at people!

"The young Dutch midfielder knows very well that he must be brought down!

"I won't hesitate to take cards!

"Xia didn't take the risk and kept dribbling, he pushed the ball forward!

"Then go around De Jong's body and continue to accelerate forward!

"The ball fell at Mata's feet!

"Mata has been very active since replacing Rashford!

"On the left wing, he and xia often play exquisite cooperation!

“Now, it’s time to perform again!

“Keeping the ball in place, no rush!

"1, 2, 3...

“Push the ball!

"The ball is passed diagonally!

"Xia also ran to the position!

“Keep sprinting with the ball!

"De Ligt comes on!

"The two of them collided hard!

"De Ligt was knocked away!

“The taller Dutch central defender did not take advantage of the physical confrontation!

"Xia didn't stand firm either, a little slanted...

“But he adjusted quickly and continued to accelerate!

"Straight towards the near post!

“Onana is the only thing left before him!

"What are you waiting for?

"No more waiting!

"Kick up and shoot!

"The ball hit the top corner!

“Onana can do nothing!

"Xia shows off her power!

“He is truly the king of lefts in Europe and the world!

"2-0!

"We can declare Manchester United the champions in advance!"
