Chapter 416 How about giving Pogba more opportunities?
Standing on the court, Pogba felt in a good mood.
Because he can finally make his own decisions.
The current Manchester United is his Manchester United!
Yes, he did think so.
In addition to his amazing skills this season, Xia Xing's biggest highlight is his ample physical fitness.
Xia Xing was able to play in almost every game and played 90 minutes with sufficient energy.
This is very powerful.
Pogba can even partner with Xia Xing in every game.
Even if he wins, Pogba always feels shortcomings.
Now that Xia Xing is gone, he has become the dominant midfielder by himself!
Just want this feeling!
Moreover, Rooney and Carrick, the captain and deputy captain, were not present. He almost had the final say in the offensive and defensive rhythm of this team!
Just at the beginning of the second half, Pogba fired a blast!
Although the shot did not go in, it flew close to the goal post and flew out of the baseline. It was so powerful that the opponent's goalkeeper did not react in any way.
Even Mourinho was all smiles.
But even if they adjusted their tactics, Manchester United could not take the lead in the final few minutes.
Any wealthy team will face this situation. There are many talented players in the team, but the ball rights are limited and must be distributed reasonably.
The caller was Ed Woodward, the CEO of Manchester United.
The visiting team fans burst into applause.
This French guy is really good!
If he can be more stable and more disciplined, then he will definitely become the world's top star!
He may even become the next Manchester United player to win the Ballon d'Or!
With the ball in hand, the Manchester United players are in a good mood.
At Manchester United, he had a nickname - "Ghost".
This goal made Manchester United fans excited!
Pogba rushed to the sidelines and interacted excitedly with the fans!
"Oh, Ed, I didn't expect it was you who called me."
At this moment, the landline phone on the table suddenly rang.
The team can give the ball and fire rights to one person, which proves that this person is definitely at the top level. There is no doubt about it.
"Hello, I'm Jose."
In the 85th minute of the game, during a counterattack by Crystal Palace, Zaha caught the ball and ran wildly with the ball!
Pogba stepped to defend, but Zaha quickly changed direction and passed him!
But today, Xia Xing, who is in poor condition, is obviously not included in this list, and is obviously not as good as Pogba at this moment.
But today's team's poor state is overall.
The score is now 0-0, and Manchester United fans are eagerly waiting for the team to break the deadlock.
Then, Zaha sprinted along the right wing into Manchester United's penalty area!
The day after returning from Crystal Palace, the entire Manchester United team rested, and Mourinho also gave the coaching staff a day off.
Alan Shearer did not refute this time.
"Jose, I'm Ed."
Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!
Even so, Pogba's pass still received applause from the fans.
This is true.
But he doesn't care about football matters.
Passed three people in a row!
But even so, Manchester United fans still did not panic.
Five minutes later, another long diagonal pass from Pogba found the quickly sprinting Martial.
"Manchester United is really full of talents! We just replaced Xia, and now Pogba is here! This young French midfielder is definitely a top talent! I even think his feel for the ball is the closest to Zidane I have ever seen. A French genius! His passing and shooting just now are very smart and intelligent!"
He has been with Manchester United since 2005 and became the Executive Vice Chairman of Manchester United in 2012. He is a die-hard Manchester United fan and a typical professional manager.
Alan Shearer shook his head: "If xia is still on the court, then he will directly face Zaha's breakthrough from the wing, and this goal will most likely not happen. After all, xia's defensive ability far exceeds Borg's bar."
Mourinho is not in a hurry either.
Alan Shearer: "What you said is a bit excessive..."
Low shot breaks the net!
Mourinho on the sidelines also shook his head repeatedly, dissatisfied with the conceded goal.
After all, their lead is still double digits, so there is no rush.
That's right, he is less like a football person and more like a manager.
On this game rest day, he actually called Mourinho, which puzzled Mourinho.
On this day, the training ground was empty except for him who was still in the office looking through information on opponents for the next few rounds.
The score of 1 to 1 is really a pity.
Even Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't help but admire it.
1 to 1! Crystal Palace scored a stunning goal!
The home team fans cheered loudly with excitement!
Carragher in the live broadcast room curled his lips: "The former Manchester United player hit Manchester United hard, and their hope of three points was about to fail. This shot made Pogba's efforts in vain. In the second half of the game, he was in excellent condition. If he If we replace Xia earlier, maybe Manchester United will score more goals, and maybe they won't have to face this kind of draw."
Just a little bit off.
In the 71st minute of the game, Pogba found Rashford with a long pass. Rashford received the ball and scored alone!
The final whistle sounded, and Manchester United reluctantly received a draw.
In the first 20 minutes of the second half, Manchester United and their opponents exchanged offense and defense. They had three excellent opportunities and almost scored each time.
For example, in Barcelona, Xavi and Iniesta do not have this problem. The dual-core playing style of the two as the core of each other is very suitable for the lineup configuration of top stars of the same level.
He has made Manchester United, which has been declining year by year, still rank among the best in the business field, and its ability to make money is world-class.
But looking at the goals scored by Benzema and Bale when Cristiano Ronaldo was occasionally injured, it becomes clear at a glance.
This is because unlike his predecessor David Gill, who often appeared at the Carrington training ground, Woodward rarely showed up. Therefore, Manchester United players called him a "ghost", mocking the CEO who rarely appeared at Carrington.
Dayton communicated with the players.
But this is also his characteristic, he only cares about making money and nothing else.
Carragher: "Look at when Xia was on the court, Pogba at least didn't have as much freedom and opportunities as he does now."
There is obviously some gap between Xia Xing and Pogba now.
But someone is worried.
Even Cristiano Ronaldo, who has won four Ballon d'Or awards, has many haters saying that he has taken away the ball from Benzema and Bale, affecting their goalscoring numbers.
"I guessed that you were in the office. I'm going to find you now. Are you free?"
Next, with Pogba taking control, Manchester United's midfield improved significantly, changing the situation of being overwhelmed by the opponent in the first half.
It is undeniable that he has contributed a lot to Manchester United, but most of these contributions appear in the commercial field.
1 to 0!
Carragher curled his lips: "So Xia is the only one who excels at Manchester United. Maybe it was at the expense of her opponent's performance that she won the Ballon d'Or."
Martial pushed into the far corner and the ball slid out.
"You can come if you have time. But I still want to know in advance why you are looking for me?"
"Haha, you are still so impatient. Well, I will tell you in advance."
"All ears."
"I hope you can give Pogba more opportunities, how about that?"
