Mourinho, his wife and Mendes left Xia Xing's house very late that day.
Although Xia Xing warmly invited guests to stay overnight, they were still declined.
Matilde and Mourinho accompanied Mendes in the back row.
"Will you stay at my house?"
"OK!"
"good!"
Although Mendes was more polite when facing Xia Xing, he and Mourinho were not outsiders.
The two are true sworn friends, but their relationship with Xia Xing is still different.
In Mourinho's home, there is even a set of Mendes' bedding and toiletries.
It shows how good the relationship between the two is.
He passed Xia Xing diagonally and then ran quickly!
However, Xia Xing did not return the ball to him this time.
And there was also a short break during the New Year.
For example, Manchester United will usher in the twentieth round of the Premier League on January 3.
As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, West Ham launched a fierce attack!
Payet's continuous dribbling from the wing went straight to Manchester United's penalty area!
So in this home game, facing Manchester United, which is in poor form, they don't just want one point.
Xia Xing, who received the ball, suddenly started to accelerate along the left wing!
Just like Payet's wing breakthrough just now, it was extremely sharp!
Two West Ham defenders stepped forward!
Xia Xing hit the ball hard and then directly knocked the two away with his body!
Manchester United still uses a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game.
On December 31, the team had just drawn with Middlesbrough and was in poor form.
In the visiting team's locker room, Mourinho was also making final arrangements.
This is the cruelty of the Premier League.
On the defensive line, there is a trident composed of Payet, Carroll and Antonio. In the last four games, they have scored eight goals in a row, and their morale is at a high level.
He took the shot directly!
Three days later, they ushered in the second game of a double match in a week.
"oh!!!"
This starting lineup is not Manchester United's strongest strength at the moment, but that's all it can do.
Although this was Mourinho's arrangement for him to be responsible for defense, Xia Xing was also unhappy with his state.
In the home team's locker room, Bilic warned the players: "Attack fiercely at the beginning! Manchester United is like a tiger made of mud! You can kick them away with one kick!"
"Okay, then we'll wait and see how many more surprises that young man can bring us."
West Ham coach Bilic has deployed a 4-3-3 formation, which is full of attack power.
Goalkeeper De Gea,
Back four Ashley Young, Smalling, Phil Jones, Valencia,
Double midfielder Pogba, Fellaini,
Rooney, Carrick and Ibrahimovic all got a rest.
Today's summer trip will lead the team to clean up the decline and win!
Valencia fell to the ground and poked the ball towards the midfielder before the opponent could grab the second point!
Pogba catches the ball!
At this time, Pogba still wants to prepare to move forward like he did in the previous two games!
However, this time he did not choose to pass the ball!
However, Valencia put the shovel directly and knocked down the French attacker!
The referee had no reaction!
No fouls on defense, good shot!
In this game, West Ham focused on a fierce attack.
Three points is a play!
Many people even think that Manchester United will even be upset on the road in this game.
"Are you so sure?"
"After all, our agent circle is more well-informed. I already knew about the fat man going to the Manchester United board of directors to build relationships."
Seeing Manchester United's formation like this, West Ham coach Bilic was secretly delighted.
Pogba felt a little uncomfortable.
It's very close to the European Theater of Operations.
"Jose."
For three consecutive games, Xia Xing did nothing.
"Don't worry, as long as Xia Xing returns to the core position of the organization, the team's performance will immediately pick up."
What a huge impact!
At this time the ball has reached the left side of the penalty area!
Rashford in the middle is already in place, with Herrera behind him, and Mkhitaryan at the far end is also accelerating!
Xia Xing has three points to pass the ball to!
There was no decent shot in three consecutive games, and he just defended and intercepted in the backcourt!
"Um?"
Now, when Xia Xing becomes the number one player on the team again, his teammates are very excited.
After washing, Mourinho said goodbye to Mendes and was about to close the door, but Mendes stopped him.
In addition to tactical arrangements and opponent analysis, he emphasized again.
"But you are too dangerous. The league lead is only 6 points left. It's hanging by a thread."
"Well, he does hate it. I annoy him."
Their league ranking also climbed from tenth to seventh.
Away game against West Ham.
"What else? I have to let Woodward know that he must not interfere in the team's affairs, otherwise Manchester United will completely fall to the bottom."
Around Christmas and New Year, players in other leagues are still on vacation, but Premier League players have to face more arduous game tasks.
Because there are two games a week, several veterans take turns as substitutes.
"Xia is the team's organizational core in this game. He will sort out the team's offensive and defensive transitions!"
"Of course! Xia is my favorite star! No one!"
The teammates responded loudly and were in a good mood!
"Haha, I knew I couldn't hide it from you."
He is eager to help the team score goals!
At this moment, he couldn't control his heart!
"But his words did have an effect, and your resistance was a bit extreme."
You must know that when Manchester United suffered four consecutive draws, West Ham ushered in a wave of four consecutive victories.
Today, I will give you a kick and show you the power of the Golden Globe winner!
At this moment, on the left side of the penalty area, the ball was even about one meter away from the penalty area line. Xia Xing took off directly!
Everyone has full trust in Xia Xing!
In the absence of captains Rooney and Carrick, Xia Xing, wearing the captain's armband, stood at the front of the team and walked out of the locker room!
"Jorge, please rest early. I know you have a lot of things to deal with tomorrow. Good night."
West Ham kicked off first in this game.
For outside media and football experts, they are generally not optimistic about Manchester United.
During this period, Pogba was enjoying playing the role of playmaker, but he has never been able to lead the team to victory.
The three front midfielders Xia Xing, Herrera and Mkhitaryan,
Center Rashford.
As for Manchester United, they did not field their full lineup today.
"You just talked about Xia and Pogba, so you probably have some reservations."
Not only were there no goals, there weren't even any assists.
After the New Year on January 1, Manchester United resumed normal training the next day.
This kick was earth-shattering, a direct violent volley!
The ball had almost no arc and went straight to the near upper corner of the goal!
Goalkeeper Randolph is guarding the center, preventing Manchester United players from grabbing the ball after Xia Xing passes the ball!
Unexpectedly, Xia Xing shot directly!
He moves quickly towards the near corner of the goal!
Arriving at the line almost at the same time as the ball!
However, he had no time to take action!
Right next to his ear, the ball rubbed his hair and hit the net!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
Xia Xing’s critical attack!
Manchester United's lead! (End of chapter)
