Chapter 363 It’s great to have such a teammate!
Facing Dortmund in the pre-season friendly match, which was the strongest match, Manchester United had a 3-3 draw.
Although there was no win, Mourinho was very satisfied with the result and the game.
He served the purpose of training soldiers.
Moving east, they face the challenge of Galatasaray at home.
The reason why I didn't go to the away game was because Mourinho just wanted to play the game and didn't intend to experience the away atmosphere.
I want to know if Galatasaray's home fans are super crazy.
There is no need to take risks in warm-up matches.
At home, Manchester United once again made major adjustments to the starting lineup.
The striker became the England trio of Rooney, Rashford and Lingard.
The midfielder is the combination of Xia Xing, Pogba and Schneiderlin.
Concerned about whether Xia Xing's offensive capabilities could be fully unleashed, Mourinho deployed Schneiderlin as a defensive midfielder.
Midfielder Schneiderlin and central defender Blind are both Dutch, and their cooperation on the court at the same time will add strength to each other.
Before that game, Mourinho spoke to Pogba alone.
"Paul, I have played well in the last few games. Replacing me in one game is not an adjustment to the team's formation."
"He's bright, coach."
"My passing and controlling ability is very good. It is no exaggeration to say that when I am in full condition, I am now one of the top ten midfielders in the world."
"Thank you for your compliment!"
"But he has some new requests for me. He hopes that I can increase my defense efforts within my ability."
"Coach, physical fitness is not his strong point. If he spends too much energy to return to defense, he will not be able to operate at full strength for 90 minutes, nor can he use his full strength in offense."
"Paul, I want to believe in my teammates. My offensive ability is great, but my teammates are not bad either. They can also complete the offense very well. But in some specific positions, because I am closer
Defensive position, so the effect of participating in defense is better, am I Minghong?"
"Hmm...Okay, he is obviously red, and he will try his best to strengthen his defense."
"That's good, come on, young man. If I can fully realize my talent, he thinks I will become a strong contender for the Golden Globe Award. He is very optimistic about me."
Mourinho left and Pogba walked to the pitch alone.
In fact, he really wanted to ask, who is stronger in my heart, him or Xia Xing?
But he didn't say it out loud.
Because once those words are spoken, they will plant seeds in Mourinho's heart, and all subsequent actions will be amplified.
So now, Pogba strives to remain humble and low-key as a newcomer in public.
With Mourinho's new demands, Pogba entered the game.
Sure enough, the results of the competition were eye-catching.
With Schneiderlin playing as a defensive midfielder tomorrow, the team's defense is guaranteed.
Xia Xing also continued to run in large areas, going all out on both offense and defense.
Pogba is still active in offense, but whether in defense, he is obviously more active than in previous games.
In this way, Manchester United's defense has become much more stable and their offense is still guaranteed.
Because Xia Xing can have more opportunities to participate in the attack!
In the 15th minute of the game, Xia Xing stole the ball on the left wing.
Seeing that Pogba had retreated to defend, Xia Xing decisively sprinted with the ball!
Along the left road, a one-stop performance began!
After Xia Xing suddenly stole the ball, Galatasaray failed to complete the change from offense to defense!
The summer journey was smooth and smooth, it was like entering a deserted place!
Rush into the edge of the penalty area, kick up, and shoot!
The ball hit the right corner of the goal!
1 to 0!
Manchester United opens the scoring!
That goal opened Manchester United's goal account.
Moving east, Manchester United's attacks came one after another.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Pogba dribbled the ball forward and passed it diagonally into the penalty area.
Rashford rushed forward and scored with a low shot.
2-0, Manchester United scored another goal.
Before half-time, Rooney and Ibrahimovic failed to cooperate.
After the two veterans cooperated in two consecutive one-twos, Rooney blasted a shot from the top of the penalty area and the ball hit the net.
3-0, Manchester United won at halftime.
Coming to the east half with a huge lead, both sides made substantial substitution adjustments.
However, Mourinho still ensures that Xia Xing and Pogba will be present at the same time.
He knows very well that if Manchester United wants more in the new season, they must activate those two young people to the maximum extent and let them form a perfect midfield combination to be qualified to compete against those super strong teams.
In the 68th minute of the game, Xia Xing made a cover in the middle to steal the ball, once again interrupting the wrong team's attack.
That time, he protected the ball and waited for a moment, then quickly passed the ball diagonally!
The ball accurately found Pogba who was penetrating forward!
Pogba received the ball, about 30 meters away from the goal, and decisively volleyed!
The ball was extremely fast and went straight into the net!
4 to 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Pogba was very happy after scoring, and Xia Xing had already rushed towards him.
The two midfield geniuses hugged each other tightly.
Pogba is in a good mood.
It’s great to have such a teammate!
Ten minutes later, despite the cooperation of Xia Xing and Pogba, Pogba assisted Xia Xing that time.
Xia Xing inserted into the penalty area diagonally from the left wing. As Ibrahimovic moved to cover, he received Pogba's pass.
Don't stop the ball, shoot low and counter-angle!
The low ball hits the net quickly!
5 to 0!
Xia Xing scored twice!
Xia Xing, who scored the goal, rushed towards Pogba excitedly, rode directly on Pogba's back, and celebrated vigorously!
Pogba is also happy to carry Xia Xing.
Mourinho on the sidelines was extremely happy to see it.
That's good.
It seems that the communication between Seth and Pogba is effective.
If Pogba can be transformed and upgraded by himself, then Manchester United's revival will be really stable.
Before the end of the game, Galatasaray took advantage of a corner kick and scored a goal.
5 to 1 can be considered as saving some face.
After the game, the Manchester Evening News published a photo.
After Xia Xing scored, Pogba celebrated with Xia Xing on his back.
That photo not only represents the team's victory and excellent state, but also represents the harmony and tacit understanding of the team's two supernovas.
In fact, after Xia Xing joined the team, many media have begun to create momentum and maliciously speculate on the relationship between Xia Xing and Pogba.
After all, both of them are considered to be top talents in international football and both joined Manchester United at the same time.
The location is also close.
Who will become the core of the organization will most likely cause conflicts.
The number of reporters outside the Carrington training base has increased several times in recent times, and everyone is looking forward to taking a photo of the dispute between the two.
But unfortunately, they didn't get what they wanted.
Not only that, through the passing and shooting between the two in that game, it can be seen that the two of them cooperated very well on the court.
Especially when Xia Xing rode on Pogba's back to celebrate, it further demonstrated the close relationship between the two.
Manchester United has a promising future like this!
