The competition is officially on!

Ten minutes into the game, the Reds were in full swing and dominated City's onslaught, winning applause and cheers from the United fans at Old Trafford, as well as the excitement of those watching the game in front of the TV.

It can be seen that with home advantage, coupled with the previous wave of consecutive wins, the self-confidence of the Manchester United players on the field is obviously up, and the performance is getting better and better.

But after 10 minutes, the cheers of the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford gradually faded, and the United fans in front of the TV fell silent, while the stands where the Manchester City fans were standing erupted in strong cheers.

Because after adapting to Manchester United's attacking rhythm, Manchester City showed the strength of the championship team, gradually recovering the disadvantage, and began to take the initiative on the field, especially when Manchester City entered its own rhythm and played their familiar passing and control play, Manchester United's situation on the field became more and more passive.

"Neville, see no, this is the embodiment of hard power, once Manchester City find their rhythm, the super individual strength of Manchester City players will be vividly displayed, and at the same time, the weakness of Manchester United's poor individual ability will be infinitely magnified!" laughed Carragher in the Sky Sports commentary box.

"It's useless to have the advantage of possession, as long as you don't score, it's all in vain!" Gary Neville snorted coldly and shot back.

"Are you sure? it seems to me that Manchester City are going to score soon!" Carragher winked and smirked.

And just as he was talking, he saw Manchester City's midfielder De Bruyne running all the way with the ball, rushing directly to Manchester United's half, and it was very easy to pass Valencia, who came up to block, and then a 45-degree cross, not to mention the right angle, and the football speed was also extremely fast.

"Smalling, pay attention to the high ball!" Jiang Feng realized the danger, and immediately sent a true qi to remind.

Under Jiang Feng's reminder, Smalling jumped high and fought hard for the top, but the embarrassing thing was that Smalling's prediction of football had a problem and he actually rose to the top.

The worst thing is that Smalling suddenly exposed the gap behind him, and Aguero, who is the best at seizing opportunities in front of goal on Manchester City's side, has already been ambushed there, and without waiting for Jones to step forward to fill the position, he took the lead and directly stabbed the shot.

There was no space in front of the goal, the angle was also tricky, and the stabbing was so powerful that even De Gea reacted and could only watch the football drill into the net, unable to return to the sky.

“Goal！！！”

Manchester City scored a goal to take a 1-0 lead, and the Manchester City fans burst into a shocking cheer, while the stands where the Manchester United fans were were dead silent.

Although the game is not over yet, this is their own home stadium, but they were the first to score by their rivals in the same city, which is definitely not good news.

The most desperate thing is that fans who know the ball can see that the ability of Manchester United's players on the field is indeed inferior to Manchester City, and the style of play is not as mature as the other party, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to turn defeat into victory.

"BOSS, I'm sorry, I made a mistake!" Smalling, who was on the top, was full of guilt and blamed himself.

If he had managed to win the top battle just now, he wouldn't have given Aguero a chance to sneak up and wouldn't have conceded a goal.

"It's okay, adjust your mentality and continue to fight!" Jiang Feng smiled slightly and comforted.

I didn't blame Smalling, otherwise, if you really want to talk about it, this conceded goal has nothing to do with the midfield, if Pogba and others had intercepted it early, De Bruyne would not have burst into such a deep position.

Similarly, if Valencia hadn't been cleared, De Bruyne wouldn't have been able to get off his feet easily, let alone deliver such comfortable crosses.

Therefore, this goal conceded has something to do with many people, and it is not just the responsibility of Chris Smalling.

Compared to this, what really worries Jiang Feng is the situation on the field, which is becoming more and more unfavorable for them Manchester United, if this unfavorable situation cannot be reversed as soon as possible, then let alone equalization, the score is likely to continue to expand.

"Pogba, you don't want to be in front of you any longer, drag as far back as you can, and be in charge of the organization. Jiang Feng opened his mouth and instructed.

If it is their side that takes the initiative, then Pogba has no problem cutting forward and can provide more attacking options, but now the situation on the field is becoming more and more passive, and the midfield control is not effective, in this case, Pogba also seems a little reckless in various forward insertions.

"Okay, BOSS. Hearing this, Pogba ran back with his head down, a little sullen.

He prefers to attack rather than defensively, especially when the team is behind, and as the team's most valuable star, Pogba hopes to step up at this time and become a savior in the eyes of the team and fans.

It was with this kind of thought that although Jiang Feng had repeatedly reminded him, Pogba still couldn't hold back, and stepped forward at every opportunity, and made various long-range shots, wanting to help the team open up the situation.

The idea was good, but Pogba clearly overestimated his own ability, and during a forward cut, the ball was cut off at his feet, only to be played by City on a fluid counter-attack, with three passes and two passes to the feet of Sergio Aguero, and successfully penetrated the entire United backline.

I saw Aguero first adjust the angle of his shot, and then get up, and the football crossed an arc and went straight to the dead corner of the goal.

This time, De Gea reacted, but the tips of his fingers barely touched the ball, unable to change the direction of the ball's flight, and the ball eventually slipped into the net.

2:0！

Manchester United fans at Old Trafford covered their faces with a look of pain, and before the end of the first half, they were already two goals behind, and if this trend continues, let alone win, it is likely to be bloodbathed and repeat last year's tragedy.

"Pogba, what are you doing? I don't understand what I told you just now, do you?!" Jiang Feng roared with a gloomy face.

The first goal conceded is enough, but the second goal conceded is definitely Pogba's problem, if Pogba does not rush in, he will not be counterattacked so easily by the opponent, especially the ball at his feet is broken, which directly gives the opponent a chance to counterattack quickly, so that the back line on their side is too late to settle down.

"BOSS, I'm ......" Pogba was a little unconvinced, opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but was directly and rudely interrupted by Jiang Feng, "Replacement!"

"It's time to make a substitution, after all, the scene is too passive, but what the hell is replacing Pogba?" Manchester United fans at the scene couldn't help but lift their spirits when they saw the assistant referee holding the substitution card, but they were surprised when they saw that Pogba was going to be replaced.

And soon, they saw an even more shocking scene, only to see that the head coach Jiang Feng standing on the sidelines actually began to warm up!
