"Everton's No. 20, Chinese player Xia Ze came off the bench. In this way, there will be two Chinese players on the field. This has never happened in Old Trafford. I have to say that China The rise of football in the last one or two years has been very rapid." Redknapp lamented.

"Wait, Manchester United also want to make a substitution. Ashley Young stood on the sidelines. He wanted to replace Ai Huang. This was an unexpected choice!" Alan Shearer said in surprise.

"Indeed, Van Gaal's substitution is a bit unpredictable. Ai Huang's performance so far is very good. He suppressed Baines with offense, so that Baines did not dare to press easily, and he also won a ball. Penalty kick. It's a bit of a baffling move for Van Gaal to let such a good wide player go off." Gary Neville frowned, puzzled.

"Maybe he wants to use Ashley Young's defense on the wing to reduce the pressure on the defense. After all, Ai Huang's defensive ability is limited and he is relatively young." Redknapp speculated.

"What? Change me!?" Ai Huang looked at the substitution sign raised on the sidelines, saw that he was going to be replaced, and couldn't help but cursed in surprise.

But he couldn't defy the head coach's arrangement, so he could only run to the sidelines with a look of resentment. More than 70,000 spectators at Dream Theater stood up and applauded Ai Huang, after all, he won a penalty for the team in the first half.

Ai Huang and Xia Ze pass by each other, they don't look at each other, as if they don't know each other.

"Good job, take a rest." Van Gaal walked over to shake hands with Ai Huang and comforted him.

Ai Huang shook hands casually, with resentment still on his face, and sat down on the bench after taking the jacket, still chattering endlessly.

...

The game restarted, and after Xia Ze and Ai Huang passed by, his mentality didn't change much, and he was still excited about stepping into the dream theater competition. There is a sea of ​​red in the surrounding stands, and the sound of singing surrounds the surroundings. This feeling is so wonderful.

It's a pity that I am now wearing a blue jersey and appearing as an away team player in front of more than 70,000 Manchester United fans at Old Trafford.

But just because he is a player of the visiting team, he should use his performance to conquer these Manchester United fans. It would be a great honor to win the applause of the Old Trafford fans as an away player.

In the history of Old Trafford, there are not many players who can win a standing ovation from the fans here. Ronaldo in 2003 is an impressive example,

Xia Ze wanted to learn from him.

Xia Ze replaced Pienaer on the field, while the left winger was Osman, the right winger was Miralas, and the center Lukaku. The two midfielders are Gibson and Barry.

"We need to step up our offense!" Xia Ze shouted to his teammates while running in the drizzle.

His playing is a signal that Martinez wants to strengthen his offense. But given his poor performance in the previous two games, no one knows what effect this substitution will have.

"Give him the ball! Trust him!" Martinez yelled at the Everton players from the sidelines.

Between teammates, the most important thing is trust.

Everton took the ball out of bounds, and Baines passed the ball to Barry. After getting rid of Mata's stalking, Barry looked up and saw Xia Ze running out of space in the middle circle. After a little hesitation, he passed the ball. .

The sky is still gloomy, but the rain is a little lighter. In addition, Xia Ze wore a long-sleeved bottoming shirt today, so he didn't have his hands and feet stiff from the cold like the first time he played against Stoke City.

When Barry passed the ball, he glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye, and found that Manchester United's players were not forcing him over, so he took the ball and turned around.

"Oops, there is no pass point." Xia Ze looked up, and the front position had been blocked by the opponent's defender, and the ball was basically unable to pass.

In desperation, he could only take two steps forward, and a tall red figure rushed over immediately, it was Carrick.

Facing Carrick, Xia Ze originally wanted to break through, but he found that his movements seemed to be under the opponent's control. Whether it was dribbling left or right, Carrick's current position could easily Cut off your own breakthrough line.

Sure enough, his reputation is well-deserved, and his defensive positioning is really good.

Xia Ze secretly sighed in his heart. He didn't dare to break through easily. Although he knew that speed was Carrick's weakness, the opponent's running position and defensive awareness could still make up for it.

Coupled with the poor performance in the first two games, Xia Ze didn't dare to take risks easily. He still sought stability, passed the ball to the side, and then organized an attack.

In the next two or three minutes, Xia Ze was not in a hurry to attack, but passed the ball to find rhythm with his teammates on the field. Only by getting into the rhythm of the game as soon as possible can he organize the offense better.

Martinez was still frowning on the sidelines, but the team firmly controlled the ball during this period, which gave the precarious defense line a chance to breathe after the start of the second half.

And Manchester United's players seem to be withdrawing intentionally. Ashley Young's offense on the right is not as threatening as Ai Huang.

"Xia Ze didn't have much offensive performance after he came on the field, but he was good at sorting out the midfield performance." Alan Shearer commented.

"Indeed, in the few minutes since Xia Ze came on the field, Everton's midfield has been running much more smoothly. Let's see if he can make a penetrating pass." Redknapp agreed with Hope Le's point of view.

As soon as they finished speaking, Xia Ze took the ball again near the middle circle. But this time he didn't make a cross pass, but faced the pressing of Mata next to him and used his body to protect the ball. Mata has several seasons of experience in the Premier League, but his body is still not as good as Xia Ze, and he has not been able to steal the ball from Xia Ze's feet.

After breaking through to the frontcourt, Manchester United's defensive midfielder Blind went up to grab it, while Carrick was in the back. Although Blinder was not strong, Xia Ze didn't carry his body with him, but moved Blinder away nimbly with his feet.

While breaking through Blind, he had already observed the situation in the frontcourt, and Miralas quietly inserted into the penalty area from the right.

Before Carrick stepped forward to block, Xia Ze made a straight pass with his right foot and sent the ball to the right side of the penalty area. Miralas threw off Luke Shaw, and appeared in the penalty area like a ghost.

The originally loud singing of Manchester United fans at the scene suddenly fell silent at this moment, and was replaced by a gasping sound.

After Miralas received Xia Ze's pass, he quickly pressed into the penalty area. At this time, Evans had already forced over, leaving no room for Miralas to continue to break through.

Both Lukaku and Osman in the middle are responding. But Miralas did not cross directly, but knocked the ball back to a high position.

Xia Ze's figure appeared there.

good chance! c
