Chapter 102 Mourinho: It really depends on you!

The arrival of international match day is relatively easy for players like Yang Xiaozhuang who have not been recruited by the national team for the time being. Although Yang Xiaozhuang is not idle, he used this time to receive two domestic sponsors with Wenguang. The two sides completed the signing of the contract in Manchester, which can bring Yang Xiaozhuang an annual income of 8 million euros. After the contract takes effect after the contract takes effect after the year, the crew will be arranged to come and shoot advertisements.

When Manchester United stars came back, Mourinho started to have a headache again... His condition is really bad!

In just fourteen days, these Manchester United stars have played three World Cup qualifiers in their respective national teams. After they are linked to Manchester United's schedule, they are just two players in a week, and... they have to run around with Manchester United and their respective national teams.

In this case, even the young and strong "Master La" was injured. He needed a few more days to rest after a sprained ankle before playing for Manchester United.

In addition, Luke Shaw, Damian, Valencia and other players are in poor condition and are very tired during training.

What made Mourinho scratch his head even more is that according to the schedule, Manchester United will go to Dean Court Stadium to play against Bournemouth in the next eighth round of the league.

The strength of the Bournemouth team is actually not very good. There are no stars in the team. The biggest one is Irish midfielder Harry Art. However, such a team without stars was brought to the second place in the league by their young head coach Eddie Hovey.

So far, Bournemouth has an unbeaten record of 5 wins and 2 draws, chasing behind Manchester United with 17 points. In the seven league games that have been played, Bournemouth has also encountered a strong team like Manchester City and Chelsea, but they not only tied 1:1 away with Guardiola's team, but also defeated Chelsea, who had hidden strength because of the Champions League 2:0 at home.

Now, Manchester United, which has experienced the FIFA virus, faces Bournemouth, which is replenishing its strength, and is still going to play away. The outcome of this game is unpredictable!

The night before the team set out for Bournemouth, Yang Xiaozhuang received a message from Mourinho on whatsapp on his mobile phone: Yang, the rest of the team are in poor condition, and in terms of offense in the game tomorrow, you can only rely on you.

Well!

Seeing this news, Yang Xiaozhuang was completely confused...Damn me!?

It’s not that Yang Xiaozhuang is self-deprecating. Although he feels that his personal ability is still very strong and can make a lot of contributions to the team in the game, but... this is different from the fact that the whole team can only rely on themselves to take over!

What this means is to let yourself lead the entire team's offense in the game tomorrow?

Then...how should I play tomorrow's game?

Run, pass…or shoot?

While thinking, Yang Xiaozhuang found out the previous game video of Bournemouth and began to carefully observe what the opponent's midfielders were used to.

When Yang Xiaozhuang was studying his opponent, Pogba also received a message, which was also from Mourinho: Paul, everyone else is in a bad state, it depends on you tomorrow's game, so you must control the overall situation!

And then... Herrera, Matic, Lukaku, Rojo and others, and even Martial, who will appear in the lineup for the first time this season in tomorrow's game, all received a similar text message.

Mourinho... actually sent a similar message to almost every Manchester United player who is about to play!

Otherwise, Mourinho still has a coaching level, and many of his "small means" that seem to be unpredictable can often achieve good results.

Just like the ones at present, they almost express the team's trust and dependence on it to everyone. So these players still have to fight together on the court?

Even if the state is not in the best time, if everyone works together, the combat effectiveness that Manchester United can explode is simply unimaginable. Not to mention Bournemouth, even if it is a mortal enemy Manchester City in the same city, or a powerful man like his old enemy Liverpool, they will definitely have the power to fight.

And Mourinho is not worried that the players will communicate with each other and expose their tricks. After the game, those who perform well will not show off everywhere. Those who perform poorly will feel embarrassed to tell others about this!

The development of things was indeed as Mourinho expected. When Manchester United leaped almost the entire England and appeared at the Dean Court stadium in Bournemouth, all of them burst into amazing fighting spirit.

In the 17th minute, Herrera sent a pass to the right penalty area. Yang Xiaozhuang rushed in and volleyed directly. The ball was blocked by Bournemouth goalkeeper Begovic and went out of the baseline... Corner kick!

After this corner kick was sent, Manchester United central defender Rojo headed the ball and was blocked. Herrera, who was outside the crowd, immediately volleyed and cleverly pushed the ball down from top to bottom, and hit a rebound.

The ball bounced on the ground in the Bournemouth small penalty area and flew into the goal... 0:1, Manchester United, who played away, took the lead!

In the 39th minute, Yang Xiaozhuang dribbled the ball on the right side of the frontcourt and was pulled down. Pogba took the penalty kick and gave the ball to the Bournemouth penalty area. Matic jumped out of the crowd and pushed the ball to the ground in the small penalty area on the left. After the ball bounced up... it went in again!

0:2 now!?

Bournemouth, who played at home, was stunned. They didn't feel so difficult when they played against Chelsea!

Why did you get to Manchester United... I feel that the gap is so big?

Turning around, Bournemouth, who re-telephoned the ball, immediately launched a counterattack, and Manchester United, who led two goals, seemed to have some slackness. As a result, the ball was sent into the penalty area by Bournemouth's left forward Mark Pew, and was eventually grabbed by the extremely fast Norwegian striker Joshua King. He shot four meters in front of the goal and sent the ball into the Manchester United goal guarded by De Gea... 1:2, Bournemouth is not desperate yet!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! After the halftime break, the game entered the second half...

In the 52nd minute, Yang Xiaozhuang, who was very active in this game, received a cross from Pogba on the right side of the center circle. Just as all the Bournemouth players were shocked and were all watching the most active Manchester United winger in this game, Yang Xiaozhuang swung his right leg and kicked the ball hard!

Bang!

The ball rushed directly into the sky. When it landed again, it had already reached the penalty area on the right side of the top of the Bournemouth arc. A tall figure wearing a black jersey and white shorts also appeared next to the landing point... Lukaku!

With his long legs stretched out, Lukaku stopped the ball directly into the Bournemouth penalty area, followed two more steps, and suddenly pushed the ball into the Bournemouth goal on the left... 1:3, Manchester United's leading advantage expanded to two more goals.

Off the court, Mourinho couldn't help but turn his head to look at Rui Faria beside him: "Rui, why does Yang's performance today... feel different from before?"

Rui Faria thought for a moment and nodded, "It's indeed different, but he is very helpful to the team's offense. It feels like our offense is easier to play than before."

Mourinho nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, Yang only has this assist today, but these three goals are actually related to him. The first goal was because of his shot and made a corner kick, the second goal was also because of his set-up ball, and the third goal was directly assisted... It's weird, why do I feel that Yang today has become very understanding of football? He seems to be able to read the game and know what our team needs him more!"

Rui Faria laughed and said, "Isn't that good? Do you want him to be a reckless man who only knows how to drive the ball forward?"

"How is that possible? Of course I hope Yang will become better and stronger, but... is his progress a little faster? It always makes me feel...it doesn't seem very real!"

In the remainder of the game, neither side was able to score again, and Bournemouth, who played at home, lost the game with a score of 1:3.
Chapter completed!
