The slow motion on the big screen of the stadium finally showed the whole process of Gao Xiaodong's goal.

After being knocked down by Barry, Gao Xiaodong got up as soon as possible and ran to the penalty area as fast as possible, but when Valencia passed, Gao Xiaodong suddenly changed direction and inserted diagonally to the back point.

Gao Xiaodong's change was not noticed by few fans at the time, but it turned out that Gao Xiaodong's running position was very crucial, this is the striker's sense of smell, as a midfielder It is difficult to do this.

Gao Xiaodong's goal was a great blow to Manchester City, after the opening, although Manchester City did not have any advantage on the field, but they were playing at their own pace, except for Gao Xiaodong's goal, they did not give Manchester United too good a chance, and their counterattack was also very threatening.

However, Gao Xiaodong's goal broke Mancini's wishful thinking, and it became difficult for him to insist on defensive counter-attacking play, and Manchester United, which was one goal ahead, would definitely reduce the number of troops invested in attack, so that Manchester City's counterattack threat would be smaller.

However, it is difficult for Mancini to make changes immediately at this time, because it is only 23 minutes into the game, and the players on the field are all configured according to the defensive counterattack, which will not benefit Manchester City immediately, and may let the old Manchester United continue to score while the iron is hot.

Mancini is also an experienced and scheming coach, and he didn't make any tactical changes right away, he called key players such as Kompany and Yaya Toure over to calm down and continue to play according to the original tactics.

The players did not all agree with Mancini's decision, but they did not oppose it and chose to support Manich's decision.

A few of City's players had a bit of a conflict with Mancini before the game, but the thorn Tevez was put on the bench, Balotelli reconciled, and the rest of the players understood that they couldn't blame each other now, and the most important thing was to be in the same boat, beat Manchester United and win the only possible FA Cup.

Manchester United's players did slow down the tempo of the game after scoring and they would like to see City attack aggressively with a discouraged heart so they have the chance to extend their lead quickly.

However, Manchester City did not rush forward after conceding the goal, and still played according to the original rhythm, which surprised the Manchester United players, they played two games with Manchester City this season, although Manchester United beat Manchester City twice, but it was difficult to win, and they also saw that the opponent was improving every time, which made Manchester United fans secretly frightened, and also strengthened the determination of Manchester United players to suppress the upward momentum of their rivals in the same city.

This is a match played at Wembley Stadium, hundreds of millions of fans around the world are watching, since Manchester City does not attack, as the Premier League hegemon, the world's top giants Manchester United can only continue to attack.

Previously, Manchester City's goal came from Gao Xiaodong's position and attacking forward, it cannot be said that Manchester City was unprepared for this, mainly because Gao Xiaodong attacked too fast, coming and going like electricity, and there were two very imaginative individual performances, which suddenly tore apart Manchester City's defense.

After conceding the goal, Manchester City paid more attention to the defense of Gao Xiaodong's running without the ball, especially De Jong and Barry, two evil men, who also continued to make physical contact with Gao Xiaodong when they were without the ball to prevent Gao Xiaodong from plugging in and responding.

Referee Quinn's energy is mainly on the players with the ball, Gao Xiaodong did not get Quinn's attention when he was fouled, and he didn't even get a foul, but the speed and timing of the forward insertion were greatly affected.

Manchester City's strength is very strong, after Mancini became the owner, after more than a season of running-in, now the strength is getting stronger and stronger, although it is not able to compete with Manchester United for the time being, but it also has the power of a fight, Gao Xiaodong's forward assist quality is not high, Scholes is old and has little attacking power, Carrick has to stay behind to defend, even if Manchester United can form a cross on the side, it is not difficult for Manchester City's back line to defend a Berbatov who does not have much explosiveness.

At this time, to increase the attacking power of the front, only the defenders assist, or Nani and Valencia can use their individual abilities to cut inside and shoot inside to increase the threat to the goal.

If the score is 0:0, Manchester United needs to score, at this time the two-pronged approach, all kinds of offensive magic weapons are used, but now, Manchester United is 1 goal ahead, scoring goals is not the first priority, not conceding a goal is the first, naturally will not weaken their own defense to increase the attacking power, so the two fullbacks Evra and O'Shea did not all go up to support, unless it is a good opportunity, the two of them go up to assist, mainly relying on the front three plus Gao Xiaodong and Scholes five people attack.

Manchester City held off a wave of attacks from Manchester United for almost ten minutes, finally relenting and launching an attack on the Reds under the leadership of Silva and Yaya Toure.

Manchester City, with the support of Mansour's strong financial resources, still collected a group of talented and powerful players, the reason for the previous ups and downs in the previous results is mainly due to the lack of running-in, and after the second half of the season, their results have actually been rising.

Now that Manchester United's offensive has been frustrated, Manchester City has finally begun to show the power of Kim Won to the world's fans.

In the 38th minute, Silva dribbled continuously on the right, shook off Patrice Evra and crossed into the middle of the box.

Balotelli's clever movement dodged Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand and was rewarded with a blink of a shot that he volleyed into without stopping.

But the ball bounced on the turf as it came, and Balotelli kicked it into the air, the ball leaked behind him, and Balotelli fell to the ground.

This caught everyone off guard, Vidic, who came to block, was shaken when he intercepted, and goalkeeper Van der Sar was directly shaken to the ground.

The ball slipped right in front of Barry, who was caught off guard and chased two steps into the space 10 yards on the left flank, turning to shoot into the empty netting, only to be hit by him in the side-netting.

Although Manchester City's attack was dangerous, the scene was so funny that the fans on both sides in the stands couldn't help but laugh, but the United fans laughed with a hint of fear, and the Manchester City fans laughed with a lot of regret.

Although the misguided attack did not score, it boosted the morale and confidence of the City players, and then the city attacked and pushed the formation forward by almost 20 metres.

Mancini was not dissatisfied because the players did not obey his orders, the situation on the pitch is changing rapidly, after Manchester City is stable, the military spirit is stable, and a wave of attack has formed a great threat, at this time it is not bad to take advantage of the situation to attack, the attack relies on a morale, and Manchester City is not without the ability to break through Manchester United's defense, the previous two league games, Manchester City have broken through Manchester United's door, but did not hold it.

City's attacking options weren't good, and after Manchester United kicked the ball away, City pressed hard to snatch the ball away, and Silva broke through the wide ball again.

The stunned Balotelli fired a powerful right-footed shot from 30 yards that was so powerful that goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar struggled to lift the ball over the crossbar.

City quickly swung in a tactical corner, Adam Johnson crossed the ball into the box, United marked a leak, and the unguarded Manchester City centre-back Lescott volleyed in from six yards, but the defender's footwork was really touching, and Lescott fired the ball into the sky.

Although Manchester City's offense still did not score, but the sidelines of Ferguson's face became extremely grim, he saw the difficulty of the opponent, from the strength and experience, the current Manchester City is stronger than the previous two times, the timing of the attack is also very good, but the shooting skills are a little worse, if Gao Xiaodong is given to Manchester City, it is estimated that Manchester United has fallen behind 1:2, even if Manchester City has a Rooney whose shooting skills are not as good as Gao Xiaodong, the score is not easy to say.

Ferguson hopes that his disciples can resist this wave of Manchester City's attack, and then discuss how to deal with Manchester City at halftime.
