Star card system

After a victory, Manchester United's league lead remains.

So far this season, they have not lost a game.

But even so, the league points gap between them and second-placed Liverpool is still 4 points.

If you want to win the Premier League championship this season, I am afraid that you will have to continue to work hard.

But for Solskjaer, they have more important games to play.

Four days later, Manchester United traveled to Barcelona, ​​Spain for their first game in the Europa League quarter-finals.

Spanish!

This opponent is definitely a weakling, there is nothing to say.

Last season, despite poor overall form in La Liga, they climbed to seventh place in the league and gained a chance to participate in the Europa League through the play-offs.

And being able to break out of the group stage is quite a miracle.

But everything has two sides.

For a newly promoted team that was lucky enough to finish seventh in the league, how could they have the bench depth to operate on two fronts?

Even the main lineup is struggling, let alone the substitute players.

Although there were some signings in the summer, it was not enough to cope with the European war.

Being able to qualify from the group stage is already a miracle.

But this comes at the expense of finishing bottom of the league.

On May 2020, 2, in the evening.

A heavyweight event is about to take place at the Espanyol's home stadium, Cornea Eprate Stadium.

For the Spaniards, this is an important moment in their history.

Being able to represent the team in the knockout rounds of European competitions is definitely a great moment in making history.

Even though they are still at the bottom of La Liga, it still does not affect their desire for more.

Even if they face the powerful Manchester United, they are looking forward to creating miracles again!

The game's worldwide viewership reached a new high.

On the one hand, it's a game against Manchester United, with the club with the largest fan base receiving a bonus.

On the other hand, the Spaniard's No. 7 player comes with ratings and traffic bonuses.

Last winter, the Spaniards spent 150 million euros to poach their star player-Wu Lei from the Chinese Super League!

You know, Wu Lei is definitely the number one star in China now, bar none!

Regardless of reputation or strength, Wu Lei's influence in Chinese football is unrivaled!

Since joining Espanyol, Wu Lei has quickly helped the team create scoring opportunities one after another.

Especially when he came on as a substitute against Barcelona and scored a stunning goal, he became the favorite of Spanish fans and an honor that Chinese fans will always brag about!

As the only Chinese child studying abroad, he is the hope of the whole village!

But even so, he is already 29 years old and about to turn thirty.

No one can find the answer to where Chinese football will go in the future.

Today, Manchester United No. 7 and Espanyol No. 7 met on the court.

Wu Lei was even a little cautious when he saw Xia Xing himself.

He knew Xia Xing's Chinese identity and should be friendly to him.

However, when Xia Xing was in China, he didn't encounter many good things, especially in the youth training stage, and he suffered a lot from Chinese football.

In the end, I traveled to Europe alone and achieved what I have achieved today.

In addition, there is also the gap between the two identities.

Wu Lei is just a rotation player for the Spaniard, a small role.

Xia Xing is the captain of Manchester United, winner of two Ballon d'Or awards, and a famous superstar in world football.

Will he care about me?

But soon, Wu Lei knew that he was thinking too much.

During the warm-up before the game, Xia Xing took the initiative to say hello to Wu Lei.

"Hello, buddy."

"Hello."

"It's better to listen to the words and be kind, haha."

"Yeah, there are very few people here who can speak Chinese."

"How are you enjoying your stay in Spain?" "It's good. Everyone treats me well."

"That's good. If there's anything I can do to help, just contact me. I have some friends in Europe who can help you with some minor things."

"Thank you."

"Come on, man."

Xia Xing patted Wu Lei on the shoulder and returned to his warm-up area with a smile.

Wu Lei froze in place for a long time.

He is only 25 years old this year, how come he seems to be my elder brother in front of me who is 29 years old...

Seeing Xia Xing mingle with his teammates, Wu Lei truly admired and was extremely envious.

What I admire is that Xia Xing has such excellent skills and has achieved so many achievements. It is really admirable.

What I envy is that Xia Xing has the opportunity to play in Europe early and has made rapid progress. This is really enviable.

If I had left China at the age of 18 and traveled to Europe, I would probably be completely different now.

Facing a weak team, Solskjaer did not take it lightly today.

Manchester United still played with all its main players today.

The Spaniard knew that he was inferior to his opponent, so he simply retreated to the defense and set up a 5-3-2 iron barrel formation.

Facing Manchester United's fierce attack in the opening stage, their defense was really good.

But after twenty minutes, the Spaniard showed signs of exhaustion.

It’s more of a mental exhaustion.

Even in La Liga, they have never encountered such a high-pressure offensive.

Manchester United's attacking rhythm and speed made the Spaniard's defense shaky.

Finally, they couldn't resist.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Xia Xing accurately found Rashford with a long pass.

The passing between the two has been very smooth and tacit understanding. With Rashford's movement and Xia Xing's passing, the ball comes to everyone!

After receiving the ball, Rashford quickly sprinted away from the defense and fired a low shot into the net!

1 is better than 0!

Manchester United scored first!

Eight minutes later, it was another pass from Xia Xing, this time the ball flew to the right!

The fast horse James on the right is very fast. He pokes the ball before the defensive player takes a shot, stops and passes, all in one go!

Rushed into the penalty area and shot into the far corner to break the net!

2 is better than 0!

Manchester United has two goals in hand and the game is stable.

Watching their opponents celebrating excitedly, the Spanish players felt very bitter inside.

They completely felt the gap with the world's super teams.

In La Liga, even if you play against teams like Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Atletico Madrid, there is no such pressure.

After all, they are all technical streamers, so they can still give it a try.

But facing Manchester United, the dominant player in the Premier League, and an opponent with excellent speed, strength and rhythm, they really couldn't hold it anymore.

Wu Lei kept looking at Xia Xing in the crowd, stunned for a long time.

Among domestic fans, he is often called "world-class running position and community-level shooting".

But in Espanyol, his shooting is really not bad.

But it’s rare to catch a subtle pass these days.

If he could become a teammate with Xia Xing and receive such an invincible pass in the frontcourt, then he would dare to claim to be at the top of the scorer list in the five major leagues.

It's no exaggeration.

When thinking about Xia Xing's identity and nationality, Wu Lei felt extremely regretful.

He was originally a Chinese genius, but he was forced to leave alive.

There was no football to play in China, so he went to England and became a football champion.

This is really a great irony... (End of chapter)
