Chapter 242: Fierce Battle with Manchester United

Wang Po's eyes were fixed on the arc ball that Jim's left foot pulled out.

The beautiful arc passed through Old Trafford and finally fell into the goal.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea jumped up, but still couldn't stop the ball.

This was Jim's first Champions League goal for Ajax. After scoring, Jim pointed his hands at Wang Po who assisted him.

Ajax No. 29 jumped directly on Xiao Hei.

"Hey, when did you learn this trick?"

In his impression, the black lightning in the Benfica team has always been the main right foot, and the left foot is completely used for walking. This left-footed arc ball really shocked Wang Po.

"Hehe, I practiced secretly behind your back. How can I stand firm in the team these days without making up for my shortcomings?" Jim said with a smile, showing his white teeth.

"You are really amazing."

On Xiao Hei, Wang Po seemed to see the appearance of himself practicing his left foot. Fortunately, everyone's efforts were not in vain and they were rewarded.

Falling behind.

After losing the ball, De Gea helplessly spread his hands to his defenders. There was nothing he could do. He had no idea how many times he had to clean up the mess of the defenders' inattention.

He was really angry.

Pogba in the midfield was also very dissatisfied with his teammates' poor performance, and he muttered a lot.

Although he had never been to Manchester United's locker room, Wang Pei, who had traveled a lot, was glad that he had not joined Manchester United. From the words and body movements between the players on the field, it can be seen that the locker room of this team is probably very deep.

No wonder Mourinho, a coach who controls the locker room, was fired.

There are problems with the factions of the players, the management of the club, and of course, those "famous players" who are full of guns.

After losing the ball, Manchester United attacked with all their strength.

Pogba strengthened his dribbling, with a series of butterfly-like movements, quite like the style of Zidane in France. He passed the ball to Bruno at a 45-degree position in front of the penalty area with a diagonal long pass. Before receiving the ball, the latter had already observed Rashford and "Aoki" Greenwood, two teammates who quietly inserted in and outflanked, and passed the ball to the back post.

Greenwood inserted the ball into the middle of the penalty area in a back row, and Rashford stopped his chest and swept sideways.

Unfortunately, the ball was too straight and was saved by goalkeeper Onana.

This was the best chance Manchester United had in the first half.

At the end of the first half, Ajax, who played away, led Manchester United 1-0 with Jim's first goal in the Champions League.

Ten Hag was very satisfied with the team's performance and results in the first half. He did not change the tactics, but emphasized that the players should focus on the second half and pay attention to the defense of the opponent's core players. The rest was more about letting the players rest.

The second half of the game began.

It was still the rhythm of Manchester United's main attack. Unfortunately, there was no change compared with the first half. It was all thunder and rain. There was no real threatening shot!

On the contrary, after the introduction of Jim, Ajax really formed an offensive situation with both wings flying in the front court.

After several counterattacks, Luke Shaw was tortured.

Pogba in front was responsible for being flirtatious, responsible for being wild, responsible for showing off. After losing the ball, he spread his hands and was tired like a dog. He was either racing with Jim one-on-one or being walked by a dog one-on-two. After several rounds, he had run out of gas.

Just walk me around. Luke Shaw didn't go up during the attack and squatted directly in the backcourt.

This put Pogba, who was attacking in the frontcourt, into a dangerous situation. If no one was on the side to receive him, he would fall into the encirclement of the Ajax team.

Pogba's weakness in facing double-team defense is precisely his weakness. There are very few teammates in the frontcourt who can support him. Leave it to Bruno? This player's footwork is not a little rough. If it is handed over to Rashford, this prince will probably speed up and rush to the penalty area. Little "Aoki" Greenwood? The same way as Rashford, how to do it? You can only rely on yourself.

This also led to Manchester United frequently losing the ball, and Ajax's counterattacks were accurate.

In the 71st minute of the game, Ajax's counterattack frenzy reappeared.

Wang Pei entered Manchester United's half with the ball. The defensive center of Manchester United players was all on the wingers, including Kaxela and Jim. After all, in the first few counterattacks, Wang Pei would push the wingers to carry out blasting tasks. After several assaults, Manchester United's players were all afraid of enemies.

The situation on the field changes rapidly. Do you think that Wang Pei, the commander, is just mechanical and always distributes the ball to the wingers? If so, then this World Footballer is too watery. A dog can do this position.

Realizing that the focus of Manchester United's defense is on the wing, he suddenly accelerated and broke into the penalty area with the ball in the middle.

"Not good."

Fred was the first to notice that something was wrong and wanted to move forward to make up for the situation. However, when Wang Po started, Jim on the left also started to move up, which made him hesitate. Should he wait on the wing to strangle Jim with Luke Shaw or go back to the middle to intercept Wang Po?

In a high-level match, sometimes a decision can ruin the game.

It was this second of hesitation that made Fred lose the last chance to stop Wang Po.

The next moment, Wang Po had already entered with the ball, and central defender Maguire made up for it and blocked Wang Po.

This central defender has good strength and good physical fitness, but he is not worth the transfer fee spent by Manchester United. Among central defenders of the same price, his ability is the last one.

He does things for no reason and gets cards frequently, which makes people want to give him two big bags.

He pedaled the bicycle. At this time, Maguire was very unconfident from his body movements and eyes. Wang Po saw this unconfidence and suddenly started in one step, dribbling past Maguire with speed, not even giving him a chance to foul.

When Jones gave up Dolberg and prepared to block Wang Po, Ajax No. 29 had already completed the shooting action.

Too slow.

Manchester United's players seemed to have taken a retardant, and they were not at the same level and frequency as Wang Po.

Such a close shot, or without any interference, is equivalent to a free goal.

With Wang Po's ability, how could he miss this opportunity.

The ball went through the net.

2-0.

This was Wang Pu's first goal at Old Trafford.

He was greeted by the boos of Manchester United fans.

This goal also completely destroyed Manchester United's morale. After losing the ball, they didn't even organize a decent attack. Everyone was fighting alone, fighting on their own, and kicking balloons.

Before, there was a lot of thunder but little rain. Well, now there is no thunder.

Ps: I can't help but complain about some of the facts when writing about Manchester United. I sincerely hope that the Red Devils can sweep across Europe again.
