Chapter 368 Assault! The final word!
In the first two games, Manchester United scored 7 goals and conceded 1 goal.
Top of the Premier League!
That kind of start made Manchester United fans very happy.
Mourinho's approval ratings skyrocketed.
On August 27, Manchester United ushered in its third league game of the season.
Missed Hull City at home.
Hull City was a bit strong that season, they had started with two consecutive wins.
Not only did they defeat the relegation team, but they also defeated the defending champion Leicester City.
The strength is quite strong.
Did they also want to perform the Leicester City Miracle that season?
That game was still a home game, facing Manchester United, and their form was still the same!
Not long after the start, Hull City used a counterattack to almost score!
Pogba lost the ball in the middle and was hit by the wrong leg to counterattack!
De Gea touched the ball with his fingertips, and the ball hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline.
Manchester United almost conceded the goal.
Well, their good luck ends here.
In the 24th minute of the game, a somewhat impatient Pogba once again got entangled with the wrong leg in the middle!
Push the shovel fiercely!
The striker fell to the ground on the wrong leg!
The referee's whistle sounds!
Tackle from behind, red card and penalty!
The red card made Mourinho pound the ground in anger.
That Pogba is really too reckless!
What a great victory, that thing is ruined!
Faced with that situation, Mourinho made decisive substitutions.
He traded Mkhitaryan for Herrera.
As a result, Manchester United's midfield combination became Xia Xing, Carrick and Herrera.
Rooney and Ibrahimovic are the only two people left on the front line.
Mourinho did not retreat significantly, he very much hoped that the team could score goals.
But east of the onslaught of Hull City, Manchester United did not have much advantage.
The formation change with one less player puts Manchester United at a significant disadvantage in both regional offense and defense.
Hull City that season was like beating a master to death with random punches, extremely ferocious and without any rules.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Rooney was injured and fell to the ground while fighting with the wrong leg.
He had just returned from injury when he suffered another minor injury.
Mourinho was so angry that he cursed his mother on the sidelines, but he was still helpless.
He can be replaced by Wayne Rooney and Lingard, who has excellent running ability.
The two sides ended the half 0-0, and the east half continued.
Bu Naodong made a mistake in the first half and put more pressure on Manchester United.
On the one hand, they have one less person to fight, and their physical energy is severely exhausted.
On the other hand, the referee's whistle tomorrow was obviously too light, as Hull City's fight was too fierce.
When Carrick was tackled by the wrong leg again, Mourinho was completely furious!
"Isn't that a rugby match? Doesn't the referee tomorrow have a whistle?"
The fourth official frowned, but he was also a little confused about the referee's decision.
It's true that the whistle will be lighter tomorrow.
For example, in that game, even Carrick was injured again in the East Game, and he only received a yellow card for his wrong leg.
As for Manchester United, they already have three players in the east court.
If it looks like that, Pogba's red card at the beginning seems unreasonable.
But it is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
Mourinho swapped Fellaini for Don Carrick, and Manchester United faced even more pressure to take over Don Carrick.
Hull City used three substitutions in a row, replacing the three players who had just been booked and replacing them with new players.
That way, they can shovel harder again.
It was now the 75th minute of the game, and the score was 0-0.
As far as Mourinho is concerned, a draw in that game would be considered good.
Most Manchester United players don't think so either.
But is there anyone who doesn’t think so?
Xia Xing made several consecutive midfield defenses and made neat tackles!
Even Carragher in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise: "Xia's defensive ability is really top-notch in the world! With him, any team can be the most stable team!"
Xia Xing swept across a large area, Fellaini and Herrera also defended desperately, and Lingard also frequently returned to defense.
Manchester United's midfield defense is very tough and does not lose to the wrong side.
Wow, that's very cool!
In the 87th minute of the game, Xia Xing once again fought with the wrong team in the midfield!
Was it a physical fight that time?
He directly knocked away two defensive players!
A strong body makes the wrong leg and back helpless!
Lingard and Ibrahimovic make quick moves!
Xia Xing's short pass forward!
Lingard catches the ball and knocks it horizontally!
Xia Xing quickly ran to the spot!
Short pass forward again!
Ibrahimovic catches the ball and passes it back!
Xia Xing has reached the penalty area line!
When the ball comes, shoot it!
Two central defenders from the wrong side pounce!
But it’s too late!
The ball hit the right east corner of the net!
The goalkeeper failed to save!
"The ball went in!
"1 to 0!
"Manchester United finally broke the deadlock at the earliest moment!
“They were so frustrated in that game!
“First, I was punished by one player from East in the opening game, and then I was kicked by the wrong team and injured two people!
"Is it even more exaggerated that Hull City played so brutally and yet no one was punished?
“It’s hard to say whether tomorrow’s penalty is true or not, haha.
"Bu Nao is very good, xia scored the winning goal at the last moment!
"In the situation where both the captain and deputy captain of Manchester United are injured,
"Their third captain is showing off his power!
"That goal was brilliant!"
The away team fans in the stands cheered wildly, and the Manchester United players in the stadium were also extremely excited.
But it was not too early to be happy during the summer trip to Bu Nao.
He ran to the side of the pitch because he saw Mourinho greeting him.
Mourinho also knows very well, don't be anxious to be happy now, there are countless possibilities in the game.
Xia Xing accepted Mourinho's on-the-spot arrangements on the sidelines and nodded frequently.
Returning to the court, Xia Xing completely returned to the top of the penalty area.
That time he took on the defensive responsibility in the middle, and Lingard returned to the left to participate in the defense.
In that case, Manchester United's formation becomes 4-4-1.
Just leave Ibrahimovic in the frontcourt as a counterattack point.
Soon, Ibrahimovic also came back when defending the corner kick, playing as a central defender outside the penalty area.
In that case, everyone at Manchester United will retreat!
For them, if they hold on to that goal, they will win!
The city of Hull launches a bloodthirsty attack!
They worked hard!
Crazy collision outside the penalty area!
Even if the summer trip is not possible, the Fellainis will still be under great pressure.
That damn SB referee!
I especially didn’t bring a whistle!
Just don’t blow it?
Hull City was indulged and knocked down Ashley Young and Jesse Lingard on the wing in succession.
Xia Xing rushed forward angrily, but Fellaini was blocking him in front. He kicked the opponent first and knocked him down.
That time the referee's whistle sounded and Fellaini committed a foul!
Despite the boos from the visiting team's fans, the referee did a good job and did not give a card.
The penalty was sent outside the penalty area. Ibrahimovic jumped up high and headed the ball to clear the ball!
The ball fell to Xia Xingdong outside the penalty area!
Faced with a wrong defense, Xia Xing pulled and dunked!
Passed the wrong forward!
Artists are bold!
Dribble the ball towards the left wing!
accelerate!
Break the defense!
Keep sprinting with the ball!
The wrong side had no choice but to drag Xia Xing down!
The referee's whistle sounded again!
It wasn't a foul that time, but the game was over!
That farce-like game finally came to an end!
Well, the most exciting part has just begun...
