Chapter 180
The UEFA Super Cup trophy was unveiled at the stadium and the crowd began to cheer.Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic and Porto captain and goalkeeper Fulton entered the field holding the Champions League and Europa League trophies respectively.

The team had just appeared, and there was a sensation in the audience. The Champions League trophy and the Europa League trophy appeared at the same time, which was also a gimmick of the game.

Morrison pulled the cute little girl into the arena. When he appeared, the noise of the fans was the loudest. More than half of the fans in the audience were chanting Morrison's name.No way, we have just become the best player in Europe, popularity is a must.

After the simple and solemn opening ceremony, the two sides quickly entered the battle.

For Manchester United, the starting lineup is not quite the same as in the league. Several positions have been adjusted. On the defensive line, De Gea is in front of Evra, Vidic, Evans and Smalling. Midfielder Carrick Partner with Parker in the middle, and two wings for Morrison and Nani.

On the forward line, it is still the combination of Rooney and Van Persie. Ferguson has high hopes for this offensive combination.There are also substitute killer Hernandez and Welbeck, the representative of happy football, on the bench. Manchester United's striker looks beautiful.

Porto has a lineup of 433, their regular lineup.The goalkeeper is Captain Fulton, and Fusile, Otamendi, Rolando, and Sapunaru are lined up on the back line; the midfielders Moutinho, Guarin, and Sosa are both offensive and defensive. Guarin and Moutinho were targeted by the giants early on. On the front line, Rodriguez, Kleber, and the most famous Hulk Hulk.

After the opening, Manchester United's frontcourt and midfield cooperated well and quickly took the initiative. Morrison sent an overhead through ball in the 3rd minute, and Otamendi rushed to make a clearance in front of Rooney.

Although Otamendi is not tall enough, he has a good header, and his movements are fierce and full of fighting power. After the siege, he deliberately provoked Rooney.Elder Lu is an elder after all, and he won't care about his opponent.

Victor Pereira has always instilled in Porto the concept that their pass and cut cooperation is stronger than Manchester United, so the Porto players are almost hypnotized and do not fear Manchester United.

Hulk, in particular, has a physical advantage and has a strong impact in the frontcourt. In the 6th minute, Guarin's long-range shot hit Parker's arm, and Porto got a free kick at the top of the arc.

Hulk took the initiative to step forward, "I'll do it." The Hulk stepped out and shot towards the stands. He was indeed a representative of the power faction.Porto suppressed Manchester United on the offensive, Morrison was closely watched by Moutinho, and there were not many opportunities to hold the ball.

In fact, Manchester United could not control the ball well, and Porto played consecutive offensive cooperation.Moutinho suddenly let go of Morrison and tried a long shot from outside the penalty area. De Gea made a sideways save and knocked the ball out of bounds.

The tempo was fast, and both teams were trying to attack. Carrick signaled the team to play slower and not be taken away by the opponent.When the ball reached Morrison's feet, he did not attack.

Slowly dribbling, after halftime, two people from Porto came up to help defend, "Look at him, this guy just won an award." Fuxilai mentioned the high position and took the initiative to mark Morrison.

"Defending stars is what I'm most excited about." Moutinho smiled.

Porto's strategy today is very clear. They raised the defense line to a high position, pushed forward about 5 meters, and made offside.It also brought Van Persie's offside just now, and the strategy was successful.

Morrison felt the pressure. In the first game after winning the award, he was targeted by his opponent as a superstar.Just take a few steps with the ball, and there are two bodyguards following, which is great.

"It's not easy." After receiving the ball, Morrison quickly shifted the ball to Nani who cut inside.The ball was sent out, and he was hit hard by Moutinho, so it must be on purpose.

Nani's signature dribbling with the ball, a concealed shot, lifted slightly above the crossbar by the goalkeeper.Taking a corner kick, Nani sent the ball into the penalty area, Van Persie made a cross, and Rooney's stab shot in front of the goal was blocked by Rolando.

The rhythm of the game dropped slightly, but as long as Morrison held the ball, the opponent's aggressiveness was immediately displayed, using body collisions, interference with small movements, and the ubiquitous defensive players. Morrison was disturbed and exhausted quickly.

In the 19th minute, Nani picked a pass and Porto succeeded in offside again.Van Persie was offside for the second time, so angry, he rushed to the referee and complained a few words.The referee quickly sent him a verbal warning.

Morrison shrugged, this guy is more prone to offense than me.

"Morrison, that's all." Fu Xilai was a little proud of his success in defending several times in a row, "Today we will make a clean sheet against him."

"Be careful, he still has a little skill." Moutinho reminded.In the confrontation with Morrison just now, he has already felt Morrison's magic power, and every breakthrough is unstoppable. If his teammates did not help in defense in time, he would have been wiped out.

Moreover, he has a bad feeling that Morrison did not give his best. If he tried his best, Moutinho could not guarantee that he could limit his opponent.

Manchester United was unable to attack for a long time, a little impatient, and gave Porto a lot of opportunities. Hulk forced a corner kick for the team, and the penalty went forward. Evans pushed it out. Hulk grabbed the ball from the outside and dropped it in again. , De Gea made a mistake, but fortunately Vidic made a header in front of the goal.

De Gea's biggest shortcoming has been gradually figured out by his opponents.

Manchester United counterattacked. Morrison dribbled the ball in the middle and finally exerted strength. He passed Moutinho and Otamendi in a row. With a flick of his right foot, the ball passed into the penalty area. Rooney kept up with the collision and was embraced by Fulton. live.

The best chance to score, gorgeously missed.

"Be careful, Morrison is starting to exert strength." Victor Pereira commanded from the sidelines, "Don't give him a chance, strengthen the defense."

Morrison did not express too much, his momentum began to appear, and he was full of confidence every time he held the ball.Moreover, the running has been strengthened, and the connection with teammates is smoother.After half an hour of testing, he basically figured out the Porto team's defensive routines.

Porto holds the ball in the backcourt, Guarin retreats to hold the ball, takes a step forward, and passes it laterally to Moutinho.Morrison suddenly rushed out and twisted the ball away. He observed it several times, and it was the same routine.

After Morrison stole the ball, he accelerated violently and passed Otamendi in one breath. He didn't even have time to turn around. The advantage of explosive power was fully revealed at this time.Fulton's expression changed, and he blocked him horizontally.

Morrison took two steps to the right, easily passed the goalkeeper, and pushed the empty goal.

With the knife in hand and the ball in the net, Morrison was silent for half an hour and opened the scoring for the first time.This is his first goal in the UEFA Super Cup.

Since Morrison returned to Manchester United, he has scored goals in all competitions except the League Cup, because he did not play in the League Cup last season.Champions League, League, FA Cup, Community Shield all have beautiful scoring records.

The game isn't over yet.
