Star card system

On November 11, Old Trafford welcomed its opponent in the 19th round of the Premier League.

Newcastle.

As a newly promoted team, Newcastle has attracted a lot of attention.

Because they were once a strong team in the Premier League and also entered the Champions League.

However, due to poor management, they were relegated last season.

But it only took one season for them to return to the Premier League.

Currently ranked tenth in the league, the results are good.

This team does not have any bright star players, and their most famous one is coach Benitez.

As a world-class coach, Benitez was appointed to coach Newcastle in the spring of 2016.

But unfortunately, there was too little room for him to perform, and the team was eventually relegated.

However, the Newcastle management was very determined and did not fire Benitez, but allowed him to stay on.

It was this kind of trust that allowed Benitez to successfully lead the team back to the Premier League.

With ample Premier League coaching experience and a complete Premier League season, Benitez performed well.

The team is currently ranked tenth in the league, which is its best performance.

Facing Manchester United in this game, Benitez was not timid at all.

The standard British formation of 4-4-2 is balanced between offense and defense.

Especially in the midfield and backcourt, he is extremely aggressive.

The tendency in the live broadcast room today is very unified.

A fan of the team he once played for.

A coach who is optimistic about having coached Liverpool.

In this game, Alan Shearer and Carragher both transformed into Newcastle fans.

The Manchester United fans in front of the TV today were in great pain. Many people watched the live game on mute...

Faced with Newcastle's fierce attack, Manchester United will naturally not be afraid.

As the defending champion and currently at the top of the league, Manchester United has an absolute psychological advantage in this game.

As soon as the game started, Manchester United organized a wonderful attack.

Xia Xing's midfielder hit the ball, and Carrick's kick was through!
Rooney made a light move outside the penalty area!
Ibrahimovic kicks up and shoots!

The ball slides out!

Only a little short!
There was thunderous applause from the stands!
This is Ibrahimovic's first shot after returning from injury!
Looks quite domineering!
The condition has recovered very well!

Seeing Ibrahimovic's condition, Perrin nodded repeatedly on the sidelines: "As expected of a veteran, he obviously returned to form much faster than Mkhitaryan and Lindelof. Not bad."

Mourinho is also satisfied.

In this game, the partnership between Ibrahimovic and Rooney took shape again.

Both of them have no national team competition duties, so they are in good physical condition now.

The same goes for Carrick, who has long since quit the national team.

Players such as Herrera and Mata basically don't have many opportunities to play on national team match days, and their physical condition is also very good. They started today.

In this game, the two sides fought fiercely in the midfield.

In the 16th minute of the game, Herrera made a tackle and knocked down the opponent's striker Joselu who broke through with the ball, and received a yellow card.

A few minutes later, the opponent's midfielder Shelvey elbowed Mata during a battle for the top and was also given a yellow card.

The confrontation between the two sides became more and more intense, and the smell of gunpowder on the field became stronger and stronger.

This kind of kicking style made Manchester United very uncomfortable. They never found a good opportunity to score.

Until the 36th minute of the game, Xia Xing made a diagonal pass from the left!

Accurately found Ibrahimovic in the penalty area!

Ibrahimovic kept the ball coming and volleyed from the far end!

The ball hits the net!

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United open the scoring!

With a ball in hand, Manchester United is stable.

The first half ended with this score.

In the second half, the sides changed sides and fought again, and the two sides still fought fiercely.

But Manchester United still dominated.

In the 55th minute of the game, Manchester United cooperated in the frontcourt and the ball passed to Ibrahimovic again!

Ibrahimovic receives the ball, faces the defender, and accelerates backwards to dribble the ball!
Get out of the way and shoot!
Defender Clark makes a tackle!
But Ibrahimovic didn't shoot!It's a fake shot!
He moved the ball back to his left foot again and volleyed!
Although the legs are swinging in place, they are still powerful!
Goalkeeper Elliott was moving to the left just now, ready to defend!
But unexpectedly, Ibrahimovic missed the shot with his right foot and turned back to his left foot!

Now the ball goes straight to the other side, and goalkeeper Elliott shifts his center of gravity and has no time to defend!

The ball went straight into the far corner!

The ball is in!
2 is better than 0!

Manchester United extend their lead!

Another goal!
Ibrahimovic scored twice!

Excited, Ibrahimovic rushed to the side of the court and hugged Mourinho tightly!
Mourinho is also excited!
In the Manchester United team, the relationship between the two is quite good.

Among the players, only Ibrahimovic can directly call Mourinho "Jose".

"Dude, you're awesome!"

"Normal operation."

"Hahahaha! I have you! Come down and rest."

"I'll play for 5 more minutes, and if I get a hat trick, I'll go."

"Fine……"

Mourinho was a little worried.

After all, Ibrahimovic has just returned from injury and is now physically exhausted.

If you are violated at this time, you are likely to suffer secondary injuries.

But since Ibrahimovic asked to continue playing, it was difficult for Mourinho to refute.

"I'll let you play for another 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, I won't say hello to you and will replace you directly!"

"no problem!"

But it was during these 5 minutes that something went wrong.

Ibrahimovic scored two goals in a row and was in high spirits.

The opponent's defensive players also intensified their defense against him.

Especially the defensive movements are also bigger.

In the 59th minute of the game, Ibrahimovic picked up the ball next to the penalty area line, just a stone's throw away from the penalty area.

As long as he turns around and rushes into the penalty area, the goal is equivalent to half of the goal.

But just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly felt a pain behind him!
He was brought down by opposing defender Javier Manquillo!
This defender who came out of Atletico Madrid's youth training camp upholds Atletico Madrid's fierce defensive characteristics.

But this foul was egregious.

Tackle from behind, Ibrahimovic fell to the ground!

Several Manchester United players rushed forward to settle the score with Manquillo!

"Are you kicking a ball or kicking someone?"

"Fxxk U!"

Captain Rooney, Mata, Herrera and other players all gathered around to settle the score with Manquillo.

However, Newcastle's teammates decisively stopped it.

They also knew that this foul was quite serious, so it was difficult to explain anything. They just stopped it, prevented the conflict from expanding, and protected Manquillo.

However, the referee did not hesitate and directly showed a red card!
Sent off!

There were boos at Old Trafford!
But what's the use?
Ibrahimovic is injured again!
Not long after he recovered from injury, he was injured again!

While Manchester United is hiring, Ibrahimovic is injured again...

During the operation to besiege Manquillo just now, Carrick and Xia Xing did not go up.

The two immediately protected Ibrahimovic and worked with the team doctor to help.

But seeing the team doctor's frown, they knew something was wrong.

It hurts a lot...

Carrying it to the sidelines, the team doctor told Mourinho directly before he could speak.

"It looks like it's very troublesome, and I still hurt my ankle."

"Can you still recover?"

"It should be possible, but it will take more time than young people."

"how long?"

"Starting in four months."

"Fxxk..." (End of this chapter)
