Chapter 367 Complete victory! Top of the Premier League!
When he saw Xia Xing preparing to pass the ball, Ibrahimovic had a premonition.
The ball will definitely be passed!
When the defensive attention was on Rashford and Lingard, Ibrahimovic sprinted quickly!
He shook off the defense of the wrong leg!
When people are in place, the ball is in place!
Stop the ball with your chest and shoot in the air!
The goalkeeper has nothing to do!
The ball hit the net!
3 to 1!
Manchester United expands its lead again!
Ibrahimovic was so excited after scoring the goal that he was ready to run across the half-court towards Xia Xing.
But Fu Xia Xing was already running towards him quickly.
"Yang Rattan, I am indeed the best center forward!"
"Xia! My passing was great! He knew I was okay!"
The two hugged tightly and enjoyed the joy of scoring.
The goal at that time was very crucial and once again extinguished Bournemouth's attempt to equalize the score.
In the remaining time, Manchester United had several good chances to score, but they failed to seize them.
Mourinho on the sidelines shook his head.
Except for the veteran Ibrahimovic, the other forwards on the team have to practice a lot.
Especially if he is not able to score goals, he is not considered to be at the top level.
Playing in the Premier League at that level would be fine, but playing in the Champions League would definitely be substandard.
The team must look for one or two more top forwards in the Eastern Season.
He must think ahead...
In the second minute of stoppage time, Bournemouth took a penalty kick and De Gea took the lead.
They lost their initial chance.
The referee's whistle sounded and the game was over!
Manchester United won that game 3-1 and got off to a good start in the league!
Compared with the hard work of other giants, Manchester United's victory in the first round was considered to be a victory.
Even though there are some minor twists and turns, it is not a big trouble at all.
Although Manchester United had many problems in that game, Mourinho did not hesitate to praise him when facing reporters after the game.
"Their boys are great tomorrow! They played a good game! The veterans have set a good example, and the new players have fully integrated into the team, which is great! Especially if Xixia succeeds,
He controlled the rhythm of the game, participated in all three goals, and also made a great contribution in defense! It is very Pogba. He successfully scored in the first game. He was the most talented midfielder of that era.
One of the players!"
Mourinho mainly praised Xia Xing and Pogba. They were indeed the most outstanding stars in that game.
Especially if traveling in summer.
Three goals, Xia Xing assisted twice, and once organized a quick counterattack after stealing the ball.
Was he the best player in that game?
Well deserved.
The first game was won easily, and the whole Manchester United team was in high spirits.
After a week of training, they ushered in the second round of the Premier League.
In that round of the league, many strong teams in the Premier League were still in deep trouble.
Take Leicester City for example, they played Arsenal 0-0 and still have a hard time winning.
Liverpool was defeated by Burnley by two goals in the away game.
Carragher, who was broadcasting the game live, was so angry that he slammed the table.
Tottenham and Chelsea won, but it was just a one-goal victory.
The only team that performed well was Manchester City. Guardiola's passing football was a success in the game. They defeated Stoke City 4-1 away from home.
Even so, they could not score three goals in a row to seal the victory after Stoke City was punished with a penalty in the east half.
The Premier League was chaotic that season. The most obvious thing was that the so-called underdogs performed very well, while the strong teams frequently capsized.
On the evening of August 20, Old Trafford finally ushered in the first home game of the Premier League season.
Manchester United will face Southampton tomorrow. They are seventh in the league this season and almost qualified for the Europa League.
Southampton has been in good form in recent seasons and has always remained in the second tier of the standings.
Their recruitment efforts that summer were not small.
The 21-year-old talented midfielder Hojbjerg, transferred from Bayern, is Southampton's new core midfielder.
The 22-year-old Bofal and the 22-year-old Raymond cost Southampton more than 30 million euros.
With the joining of many players, Southampton hopes that they can fill the positions of the departing players.
But unfortunately, judging from that game, they are far from the level of their predecessors.
That summer, the 24-year-old talented forward Ma Wai transferred to Liverpool, and the 30-year-old Pellet transferred to the Chinese Super League.
The absence of those two offensive players has greatly reduced Southampton's offensive power.
The new players are also good, but they can't compare with the classic combination of one high and one fast.
In the opening stage, Southampton launched two attacks, both of which failed.
Not only that, they quickly lost the ball in Manchester United's fast break.
De Gea successfully saved Bofal's shot, the young Bailly made a big-footed clearance, and the ball fell to Pogba's feet!
Pogba was immediately surrounded by two double-team defenders, and he couldn't advance with the ball!
Pogba was not in a hurry, he stayed on the spot to protect the ball and paused for two seconds.
Suddenly a diagonal pass forward!
Xia Xing moved forward at high speed and received the ball accurately!
Long pass to the right!
Find Mkhitaryan!
Mkhitaryan received the ball, sprinted, and shot from the corner of the penalty area!
The ball spins into the net!
1 to 0!
Manchester United opens the scoring!
Did he score the first goal again!
Manchester United's offense was extremely aggressive in those two games!
In the 27th minute of the game, Rashford won a corner kick opportunity.
It’s not like Xia Xing is standing in the corner flag area.
Slowly retreat and pass the ball!
There was chaos outside the penalty area!
Bailly grabbed a point in front of goal!
Stab into the net!
2 to 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Alan Shearer applauded in the live broadcast room.
"Stable, Manchester United was stable again in that game!
“Although we only played less than two games that season,
"But Manchester United performed very well!
"His consistency is much better than during the season.
“Especially the new players, they all performed very well.
"In one game, Ibrahimovic and Pogba scored,
“Mkhitaryan and Bailly also scored in that game,
“Four of the five new signings in the summer have already scored goals!
"They fit into the team perfectly!"
The five new signings, except Xia Xing, all scored goals for Manchester United.
There is no rush for the summer trip to Bu Nao.
After all, he is mainly a passing player at Manchester United.
It's not Leicester City, he is a newcomer and doesn't have much power to fire.
Although Mourinho is very tolerant to him, there are many outstanding forward teammates in the frontcourt, and Xia Xing can do more for them.
Leading 2-0 at halftime, the game continued in the east half.
Pogba continued to press forward, with Xia Xing assisting him.
In two wonderful steals, Xia Xing handed the ball to Pogba.
The French midfielder also lived up to expectations.
A short pass was passed to Ibrahimovic, who turned around and shot into the net!
3 to 0!
Did he receive the pass from Xia Xing and kick it from a long distance?
The ball hit the goalpost and bounced into the net!
4 to 0!
Manchester United won by four goals!
That’s not the previous score of this game!
"Four goals, Manchester United beat Southampton!
"Manchester United, which has experienced two consecutive victories, has surpassed Manchester City.
