Chapter 436 Europa League knockout round, nothing more than that
"Xiao's kick explodes!
"The ball hit the net!
"The ball went in!
"1 to 0!
"Manchester United scored first!
“Saint Etienne played well in the beginning of this game and defended against Manchester United’s many attacks.
"But they can't stop the impact of xia!
"You know, xia was the top scorer and best player in the Europa League last season!
"Xia who led newly promoted Premier League team Leicester City to create a miracle in the Europa League!
"He is unbeatable!"
Alan Shearer applauded vigorously in the live broadcast room and was full of praise for Xia Xing's wonderful performance.
At this moment, the Old Trafford Stadium has already become a sea of joy!
The goal was scored, wonderful!
If they were Manchester United fans in previous years, they would definitely look down on competitions like the Europa League.
But it's different now.
The team is sinking, their performance is declining, and they urgently need a championship of sufficient weight to prove their strength.
The tall Belgian midfielder is good at defense and is also good at heading the ball!
In the 71st minute of the game, Xia Xing made a pass from the left and accurately found Fellaini at the back of the penalty area.
The Europa League championship is the best proof.
After all, they fell behind 0-3 in the first round. Such a huge gap left them no room for tactical thinking.
Rooney followed up with the tackle and the ball hit the net!
3 to 0!
At this stage of the game, the physical energy of the players is extremely exhausted. Even if physical problems are not considered, injuries are a big problem.
Everyone laughed.
But in front of the powerful Manchester United, how can there be room for them to perform?
Ibrahimovic agreed: "Well, when I played in Paris, I often abused this team and I was used to it."
If you want to gain greater recognition, you must become a European-level champion.
Carrick gets the second point!
He didn't hesitate and drove to the frontcourt with a big kick, looking for Rooney!
Rooney lived up to expectations, kicking and shooting from outside the penalty area!
Saint-Etienne was in despair.
It's just a small Europa League. Let alone the knockout rounds, even the final is not enough for Manchester United.
In this game, Xia Xing retreated decisively and took the initiative to become the backbone of the defense.
Although the Premier League championship is also good, it is only in the domestic region.
You have to make sure Manchester United doesn’t score again!
is it possible?
Now they start with a fierce attack and press forward across the board.
Mourinho can easily substitute substitute players in this game.
There is only one way to attack.
Besides, Rashford is right.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
In the 75th minute of the game, this time it was Pogba's long shot from the center. The ball hit the defender and bounced into the penalty area!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Two goals were scored within five minutes, and Manchester United completely sealed the victory!
The important task of organizing the offense was once again given to Pogba.
But Saint-Etienne is in no hurry.
Manchester United scores another goal!
With two goals in hand, Manchester United is more secure!
This season, winning the Europa League is Manchester United's biggest expectation.
Looking at this stadium that can accommodate 42,000 fans, Rooney curled his lips: "This stadium is really good, but this team is really not good."
Although Saint-Etienne defended intensively in the penalty area, they still failed to defend until the end in the face of repeated bombardments by Fellaini, Ibrahimovic and Rooney.
He sent Fellaini, but instead of letting him play in midfield, he put him in front as a center forward!
Mourinho is pleased with the result.
Absolutely impossible!
A pass and a shot helped Manchester United defeat Blackburn 2-1 and advance to the next round.
In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 3-0.
This time Xia Xing wanted to start, but Mourinho firmly refused.
The ball falls into the net!
In the Guichard Stadium, Manchester United players were warming up and they seemed very relaxed.
In the 9th minute of the game, Xia Xing made a decisive shovel in the middle!
This tackle is so neat!
The result of their persistence failed to become a reality in the end.
Being arrogant about everything is the embodiment of Manchester United's spirit.
Only then did Saint-Etienne begin to regret it.
Facing Saint-Etienne's fierce attack, they were full of gaps behind them.
After all, not everyone can reach Mourinho's level.
Although they lost the ball, they still held on.
The Belgian leaped high and headed the ball into the goal!
The ball hit the net hard!
2 to 0!
As soon as the second half started, Xia Xing rushed forward and scored with a long shot!
2 to 2!
The FA Cup journey continues, and the Europa League war resumes.
As long as Manchester United can successfully intercept the ball and then counterattack, the possibility of scoring a goal is extremely high.
Saint-Etienne takes the lead at home!
Just when they were excited and looking forward to a miracle, Manchester United defeated them again.
These words came from the mouth of the young Rashford. Not only did they not make everyone feel arrogant, but they found them interesting.
Today's Saint-Etienne is completely different from the last game.
With three goals in hand, Manchester United has one foot on the threshold of the Europa League last sixteen.
Manchester United scored first!
In the second half, the game changed sides and Mourinho adjusted several positions.
Although the next round of the game was guaranteed to win, Mourinho still did not let Xia Xing play in the FA Cup.
2 to 1!
Therefore, in the following period, although Manchester United continued to attack fiercely, they were unable to score again.
Rashford on the side shrugged: "The Europa League knockout round is nothing more than that."
In the following time, they completely gave up hope of winning and began to play casually.
And it was an away goal!
In this way, if Saint-Etienne wants to advance, they must score at least five goals in this game!
In France, Manchester United ushered in the second leg of the quarter-finals.
The whistle sounded at the end of the first half and Manchester United temporarily led 1-0.
Manchester United's playmaker in this game was Herrera, and his performance was remarkable.
Although he has a group of substitute players and young players, he is still very active.
With the ball in hand, Manchester United played much more easily.
But unexpectedly, it had a miraculous effect.
Xia Xing and Mkhitaryan on the left and right started the bottom pass mode.
With excellent teamwork, the defensive system remains stable.
In the 22nd minute of the game, they took advantage of a counterattack opportunity and got a goal back!
Ten minutes later, they used a set-piece tactic to score a header!
For them, even a small loss in the away game is not unacceptable.
It's too late to attack now.
In the last game, they retreated with all their strength and sought a tie.
Three days later, Manchester United ushered in the fifth round of the FA Cup.
1 to 0!
The two sides are back on the same starting line again!
Six minutes later, Xia Xing attracted the defensive attention on the left and suddenly made a long diagonal pass!
Mkhitaryan at the far end receives the ball and advances!
Low pass!
Ibrahimovic shoots in front of the goal!
The ball hits the net quickly!
3 to 2!
Manchester United takes the lead again!
The total score is still 4 goals behind!
And there are only more than thirty minutes left before the end of the game!
Saint-Etienne's hopes are dashed again!
