This is the 30th minute of the game, and the score is still 0-0.
Mourinho frowned on the sidelines.
I really didn’t expect that Southampton could do it.
Although Mourinho hid the main players in this game and made up the substitute lineup, he is still very sure of the championship.
Because the opponent is not a traditional strong team, and its overall strength is far inferior to Manchester United.
But I didn't expect that even so, Manchester United still failed to score many goals.
Especially the central defender Van Dijk, it’s so crazy!
Next, I must examine him carefully. This bloody guy is very suitable for Manchester United.
Not only Van Dijk, Southampton's attacking players are also a big threat.
Just after Martial's shot was punched out by Foster, Southampton also launched a counterattack.
The ball fell at the feet of Hojbjerg. The young midfielder continuously pulled the ball and changed its direction, causing Manchester United's two attacking players to miss!
This Manchester United is too strong.
Blind nodded.
Manchester United escaped disaster!
If it weren't for the heroic performance of the Argentinian goalkeeper, I'm afraid Manchester United would have conceded the goal first!
Continuous attacks were fruitless, and the opponent's counterattacks occasionally threatened, which made Mourinho a little anxious on the sidelines.
After all, the opponent only has one counterattack point, so there is no problem with three defenders, and the wings can be appropriately contracted to help defend, so there is no problem.
Rashford's push almost scored!
Four minutes later, this time it was Xia Xing, Lingard and Mata who exchanged continuous passes!
In the end, Mata shot low in front of the penalty area!
Goalkeeper Foster made another successful save to keep Southampton's goal clean!
For Manchester United, the most important thing now is to score goals.
"Hmm? What are your plans?"
3 to 0!
Knock the opponent away and pass the ball diagonally into the penalty area!
"Let Blind press forward appropriately and temporarily take over your defensive position when you move forward."
Rashford and Martial in the frontcourt pulled along the sides, freeing up space in the middle for Xia Xing!
Xia Xing drove the ball all the way!
Van Dyke rushed forward again!
Another Japanese person, Yoshida Asa, who is nearly 1.9 meters tall, also came up!
"Press up and organize an attack!"
Although Xia Xing's forward pressure failed to lead to a goal in a short period of time, it quickly changed the team's offensive style.
Xia Xing has arrived in the restricted area!
The strong Van Dyke will not spoil Xia Xing!
"But what about the defense?"
Two high school guards are closed for the summer!
Long pass!
Manchester United finally broke the deadlock!
Let the four parallel backs become a one-in-one and three-in-back position.
Southampton once counterattacked very fiercely, but with Xia Xing in charge, their offense was really ineffective.
But Xia Xing doesn’t care!
Manchester United has completely won!
Now Xia Xing can finally celebrate with a smile!
Looking at the Manchester United personnel celebrating excitedly, Van Dijk and Maya Yoshida looked at each other and sighed softly in unison.
In the 75th minute of the game, another diagonal pass from Xia Xing accurately found the sprinting Rashford!
The ball hits the net!
Advance in the middle, knock horizontally!
Mata's diagonal pass!
The ball went in!
1 to 0!
With his excellent dribbling and passing, his forward penetration made Southampton very uncomfortable!
The ball goes straight to the frontcourt!
Before they closed the door, Xia Xing had already made his move!
Kick up and shoot!
This is just their second team. If the main lineup comes, how will the game be played?
But think about it again, Xia Xing had two shots and one pass in this game. Even if the main team came, there would be no stronger opponent than him.
He clung directly to Xia Xing and didn't let Xia Xing make any moves!
But Xia Xing is not afraid at all!
Shake your body hard and squeeze tit for tat!
"good!"
He understands what the head coach is thinking.
Xia Xing's position is prerequisite, he moved from the 6th position to the 10th position!
"The game is over!
In the 66th minute of the game, Xia Xing finally got what he wanted.
The Dutch central defender was passed!
After the offensive player's last weak shot, the referee's whistle sounded!
Xia Xing quickly followed up, again on the other side!
Lingard's non-stop pass!
Xia Xing sprints to catch the ball again!
Two consecutive one-twos, Manchester United's frontcourt cooperation is very bold!
"Xia!"
In the last few minutes, Southampton completely lost hope.
This can liberate Xia Xing to the maximum extent and also allow the team to have more offensive opportunities.
The Italian forward sprinted quickly and successfully countered offside!
He got past Rojo's defense!
Push shot from outside the penalty area!
Romero fell to the ground to make a save and held the ball firmly!
With two goals in hand, the opponent attacked fiercely, and Xia Xing retreated decisively to organize the defense.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again, Xia Xing still attacked quickly.
Xia Xing's wonderful shot helped the team lead the score!
This is what Xia Xing is looking forward to seeing!
In the following period, Manchester United's offense obviously gained great momentum!
The whistle sounded at the end of the first half, and the score was still 0-0.
Van Dyke became angry and quickly turned around!
In the 85th minute of the game, Xia Xing stole the ball in the backcourt and suddenly moved forward quickly!
He saw that the opponent's center was empty and counterattacked decisively!
Xia Xing, wearing the captain's armband, quickly ran to the defense line and informed the defense line of Mourinho's latest tactical arrangements.
Xia Xing flicked the ball to the left!
The ball passed between Van Dijk's legs!
The ball penetrated the net close to his scalp!
Taking advantage of the dead ball opportunity, he called Xia Xing over.
You can guard against his pass, but he can still carry the ball forward!
The opponent's defensive midfielder Steven Davis made a grab!
He was directly knocked away by Xia Xing fiercely!
I won’t play technical games with you at all, I’ll just go head-to-head with you!
This head-on fight instantly boosted Manchester United's momentum!
Find Gabbiadini!
Manchester United scores another goal!
At this time, Southampton finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they also pressed out to attack!
Just this space is enough!
Xia Xing kicks up and shoots!
With the ball in hand, Manchester United will be much more confident next time.
He rushed directly to steal the ball!
This final is such a shame...
But in front of this Manchester United, their offense is far inferior to their defense.
Van Dyke even trembled and was almost pushed away!
In the penalty area, his shot was like a thunderstorm in Foster's ears!
Rashford successfully countered offside!
Push shot into the penalty area and broke the net!
2 to 0!
"This wonderful game ended with Manchester United winning 3-0!
"Southampton has done its best, but unfortunately, they encountered the strongest opponent-Manchester United!
“Even if it’s just Manchester United’s substitute lineup, they played with the momentum of the Premier League leader today!

"Two kicks for explosive shots and one kick for assists!
“He became the absolute hero of the game!
