Star card system

When Xia Xing hit the goal with a long shot, Phelan and Carrick on the sidelines had already started celebrating!

Solskjaer is still waiting for the final result with his eyes wide open, but his two partners have already started high-fiving and cheering!

This ball is definitely going in!

no problem!

Absolutely no problem!

Areola flew into the air again. When he looked back at the net, he could already hear the crazy cheers from the visiting team's fans in the stands!

The ball went in!

3 is better than 1!

We achieved a great turnaround!

Although there are nearly 20 minutes left in the game, Manchester United has already taken the initiative in the game at this moment!

3 to 1 reversal!

The total score is 3 to 3!

Three away goals in hand!

Promotion is in sight!

The Manchester United soldiers celebrated excitedly, but Paris made urgent substitution adjustments.

Kimpembe comes off the field and Draxler comes on as a substitute.

The team's formation changed to 3-4-3.

They're about to attack!

On the Manchester United side, although his teammates were celebrating excitedly, Xia Xing came to the side of the court and found Solskjaer.

"coach."

"Xia, you are simply amazing! I must praise you!"

"Coach, please praise me after the game is over. I have something to tell you now."

"You say it, and I listen!"

"Don't pull me back to defend for a while. I want to continue attacking in the frontcourt."

"Ok?"

"That's it, I'm going back to say hello to my teammates!"

Xia Xing turned around and ran back to the court. Solskjaer was in a daze.

Next to him, Ferran explained patiently: "When Mourinho was coaching before, he gave Xiao a great deal of power. On the court, he had the right to independently determine the offensive and defensive rhythm of the game. After all, even the coach on the sidelines did not change on the spot. Players have more feelings. And Xia's understanding of football is definitely better than that of ordinary coaches. Even Mourinho often discusses tactics with him, so he has his own judgment on the game, so he tells you this."

"Oh, that's right," Solskjaer understood. He nodded, but still hesitated, "But now we have an advantage, shouldn't we stabilize the defense first? After all, Paris will definitely attack next. If Once we can’t stand it, we’ll be in trouble.”

Carrick smiled and was full of confidence: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. All the independent decisions made by Xia on the court are reasonable and have never failed. I suggest you respect his opinions."

"This...good!" Solskjaer slapped his hands, "That's it! Let's fight!"

The game restarted, and Paris really started to attack.

There are about 20 minutes left before the end of the game, enough for them to score another one!

But as soon as they advanced to the frontcourt, Fred and Matic jointly intercepted the ball quickly!

The two closed the door to defend and completely strangled Paris' mid-lane organization!

Draxler, who had just come on, was tackled to the ground, but Manchester United did not foul!

The ball was knocked horizontally to Ashley Young, who made a long pass!

Looking for a quick summer trip!

In the previous defense, Xia Xing didn't even retreat!

He is very confident in his teammates' defense!

At this moment, he is waiting for the opportunity to counterattack!

The wait is now!

The ball landed at his feet and Xia Xing passed it diagonally into the penalty area!

Rashford sprints quickly and receives the ball!

He went it alone!

Push into the far corner of the goal!

The ball hit the goal post and bounced out of the baseline!

Manchester United missed an opportunity to kill the game!

But even so, the Paris players were scared into a cold sweat.

Too dangerous……

If a goal had just been scored, the game would have been almost over.

If Manchester United scores one more goal, they have to score two more.

After all, Manchester United's goals are now away goals, which are more valuable than their goals.

And then, Manchester United's fast breaks came one after another!

Although Xia Xing did not retreat deeply, he launched a counterattack on the spot in the frontcourt.

The large area of ​​running made the Paris players very uncomfortable. The technical flow style they liked was now cut off by Xia Xing.

There are also Lingard and Rashford, these two players are also working hard at the moment!

They are inherently active players, especially Lingard, whose running distance in the entire game often ranks behind Xia Xing.

There is also Lukaku on the striker, who also poses a threat to the Paris defense with his strong body and collision.

Several opportunities were created in a row, and the Paris goal continued to be in danger.

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room couldn't help but praise: "Manchester United's pressing tactics in the frontcourt are good. They made it difficult for Paris' offense to be effective."

Even Carragher couldn't help but praise: "Manchester United's pressing in the frontcourt today reminded me of Liverpool's tactics."

That's right.

Klopp's trident, Salah, Mane, and Firmino, has always practiced the tactic of pressing up front.

In particular, Firmino's large-area running often creates opportunities for his teammates.

Today Xia Xing plays such a role.

His running range is wider, his speed is faster, and his impact is stronger.

With him in the frontcourt, the threat to Paris players is too great.

They were forced to take big shots frequently, looking for Mbappe and Neymar to fight for offensive opportunities.

However, the two of them do not have very strong aerial abilities. Manchester United's backcourt, regardless of Matic, Smalling or Lindelof, can easily grab high-altitude balls.

Paris was completely suppressed by Manchester United during this period.

In the 81st minute of the game, Solskjaer made substitutions.

He replaced Ashley Young and replaced Luke Shaw.

Lukaku was replaced and Herrera was replaced, and then Herrera was allowed to retreat to the midfield to participate in defense, allowing Rashford to take advantage of the position.

As a result, Manchester United's formation became a 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree style.

On the front line, Lukaku's contribution in the second half was not great. After all, Xia Xing's frequent attacks made him more of a wall.

So after Rashford stepped up, Xia Xing and Lingard behind him partnered up to form a triangular offensive and defensive model.

This is more like Liverpool's trident structure.

Behind them, there was Matic and Fred's defense, and now Herrera is added. The three of them can be said to be Manchester United's strongest midfielder combination except Xia Xing.

Paris is even more helpless.

In the last few minutes, Paris continued to attack, but to no avail.

De Gea also made high passes and low blocks, guarding Paris players' frequent long-range shots.

In the second minute of stoppage time, Manchester United relied on Rashford's counterattack to get a well-positioned free kick.

Xia Xing stood in front of the ball.

At this time, the Paris players were completely desperate.

Ruined……

Xia Xing made a wonderful curve ball. The ball hit the lintel and bounced out of the baseline.

Paris escaped unscathed.

But they didn't have a chance either.

In the last counterattack, Luke Xiao intercepted the ball from Mbappe, who was exhausted, and sent a ball straight to Xia Xing.

When Xia Xing turned around and wanted to counterattack again, the referee's whistle sounded!

"The game is over!

"This highly anticipated game,

“This is a game that everyone thought Paris would advance easily.

“The end result was beyond everyone’s expectations!

"Manchester United finally achieved a great comeback!

"They beat Paris!

"Successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!" (End of this chapter)
