Chapter 502 World Wave Background

The whistle blew, and cheers instantly rang out at Old Trafford!

The fans who had been holding back for a summer finally waited for the arrival of the new season!

Last season, Manchester United crushed the league and the Europa League, and rushed to the end.

The honor of the four-time champion finally satisfied Manchester United fans who had not won a championship for several consecutive years.

And this season, they expect more!

Champions League charge!

Premier League defending!

Come on, boys!

In the stands, countless fans cheered and cheered for their favorite players!

Manchester United sent a lot of young players in this game.

Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan and other players who started for Real Madrid did not start.

It was still a 4-2-3-1 formation,

Goalkeeper De Gea,

Four defenders Ashley Young, Smalling, Phil Jones, Valencia,

Double defensive midfielders Carrick and Matic,

Three front midfielders Xia Xing, Pogba and Rashford,

Center forward Lukaku.

In this game, the vice-captain Carrick started the game and was responsible for controlling the field.

Pogba went to the front and was responsible for attacking.

Xia Xing continued to sweep the field, and he would appear on both offense and defense.

The young Rashford and Lukaku will be the sharpest swords of Manchester United.

Manchester United launched a fierce attack just after the game started!

Xia Xing and Pogba passed the ball in the middle, and Xia Xing passed it diagonally to Rashford!

The young English striker received the pass from his idol again and was very excited!

It feels great to be able to compete with his idol!

Accelerate with the ball and sprint!

Directly pass the opponent's midfielder!

Knock back near the baseline!

The ball was given to Pogba who was advancing!

Pogba did not take credit for himself, and with a clever pick, the ball flew to Lukaku in the penalty area!

Lukaku pushed the ball without stopping!

Joe Hart reacted quickly and held the ball firmly with both fists!

The shot was a little straight...

Despite this, Manchester United's opening cooperation still won the applause of the fans.

Mourinho on the sidelines also smiled and applauded.

Just play like this!

Although he advocates defensive football, he knows very well that the team needs to attack this season.

Especially when facing mid- and lower-level teams, they need to grab points as much as possible, which is very important.

If you are conservative and your opponent is also conservative, the final result can only be nothing, which will be troublesome.

So in this game, Mourinho gave the players an order.

Attack!

Manchester United fans are blessed today.

Just at the beginning of the game, Manchester United almost scored a goal with a fast break.

Next, their attack became more fierce.

In the 6th minute of the game, this attack was initiated by Carrick.

He intercepted Hernandez's ball in the backcourt and made a long pass straight to the frontcourt!

The ball accurately found Lukaku who was sprinting quickly!

Lukaku was disturbed by the opponent's defender and it was not convenient for him to shoot.

Just head the ball back!

Pogba followed up with a volley!

Joe Hart fell to the ground to save and blocked the ball again!

Joe Hart blocked two consecutive shots!

The visiting West Ham United fans applauded!

The talented goalkeeper on loan from Manchester City, this deal is worth it!

Even the commentators in the live broadcast room praised it.

Today, Alan Shearer and Carragher are still the two-person team in the live broadcast room of Sky TV.

In the opening stage, seeing Manchester United's fierce attack, Alan Shearer praised again and again: "Manchester United is full of energy this season! They just won Chelsea and Real Madrid, and their state reached its peak in the opening stage. This season, there is a good chance to defend the Premier League title, and even the Champions League title can be challenged."

When West Ham United goalkeeper Joe Hart saved Manchester United's must-goal twice in a row, Carragher was excited: "World-class saves! Manchester City lost a top goalkeeper! With Joe Hart, Manchester United wants to score today? It's difficult!"

Is it really difficult?

Soon, Manchester United responded!

In the 10th minute of the game, Manchester United launched an attack again.

This time it was still a midfield pass.

Xia Xing dribbled the ball on the left, shook off Andre Ayew who was trying to steal the ball, and quickly passed it to Pogba!

Pogba passed the ball into the penalty area again, looking for Lukaku!

The two have a very good personal relationship and a high degree of cooperation!

However, this pass was blocked by West Ham United central defender Ogbonna!

As Pogba's former Juventus teammate, Ogbonna is very clear about Pogba's passing habits!

The ball was cleared out of the penalty area!

Flying to the left!

But Manchester United's attack is not over yet!

Just where the ball landed, a figure rushed out quickly!

It was Xia Xing!

This position is a little to the left, about 35 meters away from the goal.

It must be said that Ogbonna's clearance was good.

However, this is not a problem for Xia Xing!

He rushed to the landing point of the ball quickly, and there was no time to adjust, so he simply didn't adjust!

Rushed forward and shot!

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal outside the penalty area!

This shot had no angles, it was as straight as a meteor!

Straight into the net!

Joe Hart had no reaction at all!

"The ball went in!"

"A wonderful shot!"

"A volley shot!"

"I just love this shot so much!

"I've scored similar goals in my career, but I'm sure they weren't as beautiful as this one!"

"Haha!

"In the 10th minute of the game, Xia blasted open the goal guarded by Joe Hart with a volley!

“1-0!”

“Manchester United opened the scoring!”

“Xia scored Manchester United’s first league goal this season!”

“His performance was amazing!”

“Man, who just said that?

“‘With Joe Hart here, Manchester United wants to score today? It’s hard!’

“Look at it now, how is it?”

Carragher’s face turned red and white, and he argued: “That’s because Xia’s shot was too fierce, a world wave, who can stand it?”

Alan Shearer nodded: “Yes, you are right, ordinary goalkeepers will definitely not be able to stand it, let alone the famous ‘world wave background board’.”

Carragher: “…”

The two people were bickering in the live broadcast room, and the stadium had become the red color of Manchester United fans celebrating.

Score a goal first!

Ten minutes into the game!

What a good sign!

Mourinho on the sidelines also smiled.

Although he once said that 1-0 was the least secure score, he is now very confident.

Because from the beginning to now, Manchester United has always had the upper hand.

Even though West Ham United had some attacks, they were quickly cut off by Manchester United's defense.

Matic was in excellent form in this game. His strong body made the opponent's offensive core Arnautovic intercept the ball twice in a row.

Other offensive organizations were also easily cut off by Carrick.

Veteran Carrick's control of the rhythm in the backcourt today was very good.

His use to Manchester United is equivalent to Alonso's use to Real Madrid.

Top control master, pass master.

Although he is jokingly called "invisible man" by many people, it is also because of his low-key personality and technical characteristics of not loving to attack forward.

In this game, he defended firmly in the backcourt and disrupted West Ham United's offense several times in a row.

With him and Matic as partners, Manchester United's defense is very stable.

Even Mourinho couldn't help sighing.

"If Carrick were a few years younger and in better physical condition, I would definitely let him start every game!" (End of this chapter)
