Chapter 961: Playing Two Evil Men
Manchester City did not attack for more than 10 minutes, and a counterattack made Manchester United fans break out in a cold sweat.
Although the attack didn't even get a shot on goal this time, if it wasn't for Van der Sar's timely attack, as long as Balotelli got the ball, it would be a one-on-one chance.
In the previous two encounters in the league, Manchester United won by one goal, the first leg was won by virtue of Ba Shen's two own goals, and Gao Xiaodong's hat trick in the second leg, after being quickly counterattacked by Manchester City, Manchester United's defenders were suspicious, and they were more cautious when assisting, and they did not dare to press through the half.
After the Middle Eastern tycoon became the owner of Manchester City, after two seasons of reinforcement, Manchester City now has world-class players in various positions, Manchester United's full-backs do not assist, Valencia and Nani rely on their own individual ability to tear apart Manchester City's defense is difficult.
Seeing that Manchester United's two wings were not attacking well and the opponent's attack was not much of a threat, Gao Xiaodong began to cut forward from the back and attack Manchester City's defense from the middle.
This is a preparatory plan designed for the side to play the situation before the Manchester League, Gao Xiaodong has physical fitness and speed, he can return to the defense after the forward insertion, in the case of the opponent's less possession of the ball, less active attack, there is a Carrick in the back can also temporarily resist.
Gao Xiaodong stepped forward, and the first to bear the brunt were Manchester City's beast waist De Jong and Barry.
Before the arrival of Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United's main offensive method is to fly on both wings, after the arrival of Gao Xiaodong, Manchester United's main offensive mode is still to fly on both wings, but Gao Xiaodong in addition to having certain organizational skills, can also provide a stronger long-range shot and forward shooting ability than the original Manchester United midfielder in the midfield, which is also the reason why Manchester United has such a good result.
Mancini lost two derbies and also had a deep understanding of this characteristic of Manchester United, so he discharged the 4231 formation, forming three lines of defense, pinching both sides, blocking the middle, and defending the counterattack.
Judging by the performance of the opening ten minutes, this defence was half the battle, holding both sides, neither Valencia's pace nor Nani's technique could penetrate City's defence.
Now, Manchester City's biggest test is coming, Gao Xiaodong began to assist, if he can't stop Gao Xiaodong's attack, he breaks through from a point, Manchester City's lineup today will be a failure.
As soon as Gao Xiaodong plugged in, Scholes accurately sent the ball to his feet.
Now Gao Xiaodong's position in Manchester United has been basically solid, he stepped forward to attack, and his teammates would hand him the ball and let him dominate the ball.
After winning the Golden Globe Award, Gao Xiaodong's ability has been recognized all over the world, and at the same time he has become a big problem for his opponent.
When Scholes passed the ball to Gao Xiaodong, De Jong quickly approached Gao Xiaodong to force and prevented Gao Xiaodong from taking the ball.
If Gao Xiaodong wants to threaten Manchester City's goal, he must pass the pass of De Jong and Barry, otherwise he will not even have a chance to shoot from a distance, so when Scholes passed, Gao Xiaodong thought of a way to deal with Manchester City's back.
When the ball passed, Gao Xiaodong stood still, waiting for the ball like a stump center, but when the ball reached the middle of the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly stepped back and crashed into De Jong with his back.
Manchester City's Frenkie de Jong and Real Madrid's Pepe are known as martial arts masters on the pitch, and both have a reputation for ferocity and tenacity in their defensive styles.
When De Jong rushed over, he was ready to kick the ball with others and directly put down Gao Xiaodong.
This kind of defense is the most cost-effective, under normal circumstances, the referee will give the opponent a free kick, if you are lucky, the referee will not give a foul at all, and the defender will hurt the receiver a lot.
But Gao Xiaodong did not advance but retreated, which disrupted De Jong's assumption, and before he could make a move, he collided with Gao Xiaodong.
Gao Xiaodong shrunk obscenely and hunched his waist, and his back hit De Jong's chest and abdomen.
De Jong was hit unguarded, and this time all his internal organs seemed to change places, and he almost closed his breath.
Gao Xiaodong slammed the ball to the side steadily at this time and turned around.
When De Jong rushed to Gao Xiaodong, no one thought that Gao Xiaodong could easily get rid of De Jong, after all, the notoriety of "South Pepe and North De Jong" has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but I didn't expect Gao Xiaodong not only to get rid of De Jong easily, but also to let De Jong suffer a dark loss.
"Well done!"
"I'm rubbing! Dejong suffered!"
"This retreat is too coquettish!"
……
There was applause in the stands, and Manchester United fans applauded excitedly, discussing, and admired Gao Xiaodong's cunning escape.
The Manchester City fans were a little angry, and many shouted at the stadium: "Foul, foul, high foul!"
Manchester City's other midfielder, Barry, relaxed his vigilance when De Jong rushed over, and he believed that De Jong would not let Gao Xiaodong pass easily, even if Gao Xiaodong got rid of De Jong, De Jong would definitely chase after him.
Barry didn't expect De Jong to be so completely gotten rid of it, and he didn't even chase the defense, he hurriedly rushed sideways to intercept it.
Defenders suffer a lot in the face of offensive players' frontal breakthroughs, especially Gao Xiaodong, who can shoot in this position, and defenders are more passive.
Gao Xiaodong saw Barry moving sideways, he buckled the ball in the opposite direction of Barry's movement, and raised his foot to shoot.
Barry, who has played as a full-back and full-back before, was mindful when he moved sideways, and when he saw Gao Xiaodong smashing the ball and shooting, he quickly followed and raised his foot to block Gao Xiaodong's shot.
However, Gao Xiaodong's shot was a feint, he knew Barry's strength, and his own buckle might not be able to shake Barry away, seeing Barry coming to block, Gao Xiaodong turned around with Cruyff, buckled the ball back again, completely shook Barry, and then gently pushed it to Nani who was inserted into the ribs from the side.
The stands erupted in applause again.
Gao Xiaodong faced two villains of Manchester City, and his two escapes and passes were already very exciting, but the last pass was even more beautiful.
The average young man is very frizzy to get rid of the ball after getting rid of it, and it is easy to burn his brain, either with a strong round of kicks, or with his head stuffed and continue to kill in the penalty area, but Gao Xiaodong can see Nani diagonally in time, and accurately pass over, this vision is absolutely world-class.
Huaguo's on-site commentator He Hui sighed: "It's really picturesque, this pass fully reflects Xiaodong's strength and ball quotient, he doesn't score goals, his organization in the midfield is definitely the world's top, it is absolutely prejudice to say that he doesn't deserve the Golden Ball...... But it seems that this ball shouldn't be given to Nani.,Valencia on the other side is also inserted.,Nani is estimated to shoot by himself.,And Valencia should do it again for Xiaodong.。。 ”
