Leicester City fell behind by two goals in the first half, and the players knew what to do in the next game even without the comfort and reminders of head coach Ranieri.

It's one thing to be upset with the club's top brass, but it's another thing for competitive sports.

The unfair behavior of the club will only affect their mentality, but it will not affect their pursuit of victory in the game. Unless... there is really no chance to win, then there will be a crushing defeat.

Leicester City had no choice but to strengthen their attack, which undoubtedly gave Manchester United a huge opportunity to counterattack. Van Kerry was extremely fast, with excellent footwork and shooting skills. Pogba and Mata were behind him to deliver cannonballs. Coupled with Ibrahimovic's superb ball-playing ability, Mourinho believes that the team is likely to defeat the defending champion in the first half

"aooaooaooooooo——"

The cheers of Manchester United fans filled the air above Old Trafford, one wave after another.

Leicester City players played very aggressively in the restart, but they were still a little short of breaking the goal guarded by De Gea.

After three blows, the Manchester United players at home took over the game again. Leicester City, which was two goals behind, had to retreat to half-court defense and wait for opportunities.

Standing in the visiting team coach's command area, Ranieri frowned and didn't know what to do.

Because Van Kerry was closely guarded, Manchester United's attack that directly threatened Schmeichel's goal was delayed. At the 36th minute of the game, Van Kerry and Lingard changed positions and came to the right.

The sudden position adjustment caught Leicester City's defense off guard.

Mata, who took the ball on the right side of the attack, suddenly dribbled the ball to speed up. With his back to the goal, Ibrahimovic suddenly took away center defender Morgan's defense to the right. Van Kerry entered the penalty area from behind Ibrahimovic. In the middle, with Huth on his back.

At this moment, Mata passed the ball horizontally to Pogba in the middle, who passed the ball directly to the center of the penalty area without stopping.

Fan Kerry stuck his butt out and took the initiative to go back to meet the football. At the same time, he raised his left elbow to prevent Huth, who was tall and long-legged, from stretching his feet to damage it.

Since he was in the penalty area, Huth did not dare to make any moves easily. He just used his strong body to stick to Van Carey and did not give him a chance to turn around.

With your back to the goal, 99.99999% of the time you won’t be able to score!

The problem is that Van Carey never thought about scoring the goal himself!

He noticed that after passing the football to Pogba, Mata had a ghostly running position. He suddenly changed from a straight line at the start to an diagonal direction, that is, running diagonally from the attacking right rib to the penalty spot.

Fan Kerry raised his right foot, and the outer instep accurately made the ball according to the instructions issued by his brain, which is commonly known as setting up a cannon.

The unmarked Mata adjusted his small steps while running, crossed the penalty area line with his right foot, and pumped the instep of his left foot hard towards the right middle and lower part of the football.

‘With a muffled sound of Boom~', the football flew towards the far corner of the goal like a shell.

Even though goalkeeper Schmeichel reacted quickly, the distance was too close and the ball was too fast. He simply failed to touch the football that hit the inside edge of the left post and entered the net... The

3:0 scoreboard showed a match against Rice. The City players felt desperate about the score.

But this goal was not the last goal before the end of the first half. In the 43rd minute of the game, Pogba received a high-quality corner kick from Blind in front of the small penalty area and completed a powerful header. The football hit the net.

4:0

The live broadcast gave Leicester City coach Claudio Ranieri a close-up shot of his face. The coach who led Leicester City to an upset victory in the league last season looked helpless at this time.

He knows that the process of this game is likely to be a microcosm of his team's Premier League season in 2016-2017.

In the second half, Manchester United changed sides and fought again. Manchester United consciously slowed down the offensive rhythm, mainly focusing on passing and running-in.

The score is already four goals ahead, there is no need to play to death.

Mourinho took into account that Van Carey was scored two goals by Watford to equalize the score after the last rotation. His substitution choice was relatively safe. He waited until the 75th minute of the game to replace Van Carey with Martial.

Fan Kairui shook his head when he saw his number displayed on the electronic substitution board on the sidelines. Three days ago, he had completed a month of continuous training and received 5 attribute point rewards. Considering that his physical condition was not very good, he decisively changed his number. All attribute points are added to [Physical Energy], reaching 77 points.

In addition, the game does not require much defense, and the physical reserves are still very good, and he is fully capable of playing for 90 minutes. Unfortunately, the memory of head coach Mourinho is still stuck in the tight physical condition a week ago.

But Mourinho's thinking is normal. Who would believe that a young player's physical fitness will increase significantly in just two weeks?

The score of 4:0 was not the final score of the game. The home team, which had a big lead, was a little distracted in stoppage time. Gray, who came on the bench, broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Smalling. The referee decisively awarded a penalty kick.

Andy King made a free throw to help the visiting team Leicester City save face.

Mourinho is obviously very dissatisfied with the defensive distraction. As a coach who pursues perfection, he would rather the team win 3:0 than 4:1.

Originally, Mourinho was planning to give the players a day off after the end of this round to have a good rest. As a result, Smalling's mistake resulted in the entire Manchester United team not having a day off.

Although the players are dissatisfied, they have nothing to do. Football is a team sport, and Smalling cannot be entirely blamed. The prerequisite for a defender's mistake is that the offensive end cannot bring enough pressure to the opponent's defense, otherwise the opponent will not be able to spare time to attack.

The biggest resentment against Smalling is goalkeeper De Gea, because... his contract with Manchester United includes a bonus for conceding goals.

Of course, it's normal to lose the ball in a football match, but I was just a little unhappy at the time, not relieved.

Manchester United defeated Leicester City 4:1 at home. Everton, who originally had 13 points, lost to Bournemouth 0:1. Manchester United also occupied the top spot with 16 points. Since Manchester City also won, the lead is still one point.

Considering that Manchester City will be away to challenge Tottenham in the next round, Manchester United fans believe that Tottenham, who won this round, is likely to help Manchester United block Manchester City at White Hart Lane and win the game!

The entire Manchester United team spent the next day at the Carrington training base to prepare for the second round of the Europa League group stage.

Mourinho noticed that Van Kerry's physical fitness seemed to have increased a lot. He turned to Faria and said:"Ruy, have you noticed that Kerry's physical fitness seems to be much stronger? It seems to be a little better than Juan."

Hu Ann, this is Juan Mata.

Faria looked at the training ground and saw Van Carey sweating profusely. He soon felt relieved and said with a smile:"Jose, the young man can already run, and with the targeted physical training you have arranged for him recently, he is better than Juan." very normal thing"

"Yeah? Mourinho looked at Fan Kerry again suspiciously and muttered:"That's too strong too fast."……"
