Mancini informed the whole team of his tactical ideas, and the central idea was that in the second half of the game, the whole team began to recycle properly, and let the opponent press, preferably to create the illusion of Manchester City's poor performance, and prompt them to press out more intensively.

In Chinese parlance, it is "to lead the snake out of the hole".

The players were quite surprised, this tactic, it's not that no coach has used it, but, not much, why, this tactic is too risky.

In this regard, some players have different opinions, so it is too risky, because it is not after you show weakness, you want to be able to rise at any time, in case Manchester United seizes the opportunity to score, then fuck up, in addition, this has been showing weakness, being pressed by the opponent, it is very likely to form inertia, the team will subconsciously lose the fighting spirit, really think that the opponent is very strong, and when you need to fight back, you will find that you have polished your fighting spirit and energy!

Manchester City assistant coach Soliano glanced at Mancini, he had to admit that it was a strange trick, it was a gamble, he was surprised, Mancini is not a coach who likes this kind of off-the-beaten-path tactics, how could he suddenly use such a risky tactic in such an important game as the Manchester derby?!

After the break, the team returned to the court, Yang Fan took advantage of the time before kick-off to gather the players into a circle, he had something to say.

"I know everybody's got to be skeptical, and so am I. Because this plan is so bold and crazy. But I feel good, it's a bit like the tactics of Sun Tzu's Art of War in China, showing the enemy weakness and thundering back back. Anyway, I think I can try, and this time I hope that everyone will faithfully carry out his crazy plan. This might be a good experiment. ”

When the teammates saw the captain nodding, they all said that they would strictly implement the coach's tactics.

It can be seen that although Yang Fan has no intention of challenging the authority of the coach in the Manchester City team, his prestige is increasing in the team, and what the coach says is not as effective as his words. For example, this time, if Yang Fan says that the coach's tactics are very dangerous, don't listen to them, at least the vast majority of players will listen to Yang Fan, rather than follow Mancini's tactical arrangements. Although Yang Fan is unlikely to resist the head coach's tactics, he does have this authority and influence.

"The second half of the game is on!

The commentators and crowds, as well as the United players, were soon surprised to see that City were doing something erratic, and their mistakes began to increase significantly, with two passing errors at the back within minutes of the second half.

The team seems to have only Joe Hart's performance is normal, and the other players are a little bad, of course, Yang Fan's performance is still normal, which is also Mancini's special request, he means, Yang Fan, you are too good, if you pretend to behave abnormally, someone has to believe it. Everyone laughed out loud at the time, and it was really unimaginable that Yang Fan's performance was abnormal.

At first, people thought it was strange, but as time went on, the situation showed no signs of improving, and the commentators began to think that the home draw was too much pressure and that the whole team was out of order.

Manchester City are the defending champions and they have to defend their title, and the pressure is even greater for this new team than for a giant like Manchester United, who are now in the spotlight.

Ferguson kept pinching his chin and watching the situation on the pitch without saying a word.

Berbatov found it strange that he was a little breathless in the first half by Kompany. Why did the opponent not know how to play after a halftime break in the second half?

Yaya Toure wanted to stop Carrick's breakthrough, but it was a reckless tackle, not to mention tackling the ball, and he didn't even touch the shadow of a person.

Carrick easily broke through Colo Toure and was about to shoot from distance, but Sagna came out to block and destroy the ball.

Joe Hart yelled angrily, angrily scolding Kolo Toure for being passed too easily.

"What's wrong with Manchester City?" asked Manchester United assistant coach Michael McHuilan.

Ferguson did not answer.

Manchester City's sudden instability in the second half made Ferguson wonder how the team that could still press Manchester United in the first half suddenly became a mess in the second half. What's going on? Manchester City suddenly collapsed? What caused this? What happened in City's dressing room at half-time?!

Ferguson would not have thought that this could be Manchester City's 'snake out of the hole' tactic, partly because there are not many coaches who use this tactic, which is crazy, and because Mancini has a conservative personality, it is impossible to make people think in this direction.

Ferguson turned his head to look at Mancini, who was jumping on the sidelines, and it seemed that Mancini was impatient, and Mancini was also dissatisfied with his performance on the field.

It's useless to be impatient, Italian, you're still tender, Ferguson snorted. His mood suddenly became very good.

Ferguson suddenly began to think about whether Manchester United had a chance to win the game if Manchester City had two players in the second half.

As soon as the idea came out, it immediately lingered.

Just thinking about it, Manchester City finally got a hard-won counter-attack, Yaya Toure handed Silva a bit of a big pass, and Silva fought hard to regain control of the ball and pass it to Dzeko, who was inserted. Dzeko wanted to cooperate with Yang Fan, but the passing strength was a little small, and the ball was directly cut off by Carrick.

Yang Fan shouted at Zheke with some annoyance, as if he was dissatisfied with Zheke's bad state.

Boos could already be heard from the stands at Manchester City Stadium and it was clear that the fans were unhappy with the performance.

Ferguson frowned, Manchester City is performing badly now, this is Manchester United's chance?!

Carrick's subsequent pass, Park Ji-sung, under pressure from his opponent, knocked the ball off the sideline.

Manchester City's players played very well, showing some mistakes, but when defending, they will still give it their all, they just perform worse at the offensive end, and the defensive end will not relax, which will give Manchester United a false impression, Manchester City's offensive end is wrong, Manchester United may be desperate to press out to attack.

Manchester City's possession, Dzeko threw the ball from the sideline, Yang Fan received the ball, he passed the football to Milner, and then cut forward along the side and waited for the penalty area to wait for his teammate's pass.

Milner's ball eventually fell to Yang Fan's feet, and Yang Fan stumbled when he received the ball. This made Vidic think he was about to make another mistake and hurriedly rushed up to break the ball. As a result, Yang Fan stepped over with his front foot and dragged his back foot, but he slammed the football past Vidic, and then he went around the Serbian defender to catch up with the football.

Yang Fan's movements were coherent and beautiful, which made Manchester City fans immediately change their boos into cheers.

"Go up and stop him!" shouted De Gea, directing his team's defence while he himself was on the lookout.

But this time, Yang Fan didn't volley or push or anything like that, and lowered his head and shot directly!

The ball went straight to the goal behind Van der Sar!

Van der Sar was shocked and hurriedly flew back - he didn't even have time to turn around, so he stepped back, then jumped up backwards and stretched out his right hand, and pulled the ball off the crossbar in a thrilling way.

This scared Ferguson a big shot.

Then, the game continued, and Manchester City continued to faithfully implement Mancini's deceptive tactics to lure United into pressing all the way.

It was a chance for United, who were on the back of a mistake in the midfield and immediately took advantage of the opportunity to counter-attack, and Rooney would have had it not been for a beautiful pass from Vincent Kompany.

Mancini was taken aback, he could see that this time it was really acting, it was his own cooperation that made a mistake, obviously, as the players and he feared, if the players kept showing weakness like this, the morale and fighting spirit of the players would be consumed, and the mistakes would be involuntarily enhanced.

Mancini regretted it a little, this tactic was too risky, and it was not his cup of tea. Roberto Mancini is one such coach who is somewhat contradictory.

Kolo Toure jumped half a beat slower than his opponent when he was battling with Park Ji-sung, and when he got up again, Park Ji-sung had already ferried the football to Carrick in the back row.

Originally, Kompany thought that Park Ji-sung would give the football to Berbatov, but he didn't expect that it was indeed Carrick who was suddenly inserted.

Manchester United were patient in this attack, and Carrick suddenly passed the football to Park Ji-sung.

Yaya Toure has been keeping an eye on Carrick's movements and ignoring Park Ji-sung. So when Park Ji-sung suddenly appeared in front of Joe Hart, it was simply a great opportunity to score.

"Manchester United's chances!One-on-one in the box!Great scoring opportunities!Let's see if Park Ji-sung can take them!"

As a South Korean international and the biggest player in Asia other than Yang Fan, Park Ji-sung's performance should be quite calm, so to speak, at the moment when he burst into the penalty area with the ball and directly faced Joe Hart, even a striker may not be able to do better than him.

Mancini, who was surprised by this scene, immediately stood up, and he was startled.

At this moment, Mancini really regretted dying, he felt a little that the team had gone too far, and there were such fatal mistakes one after another.

Such a one-on-one chance is an absolute scoring opportunity for Manchester United.

Park Ji-sung suddenly got up and Joe Hart fell to the ground!

But this is just a feint, Park Ji-sung's purpose is to trick Joe Hart into falling to the ground and then swing past him to easily push the empty goal.

As soon as Park Ji-sung hit it, he immediately flicked the ball outward, ready to bypass Joe Hart, who fell to the ground, and then shoot.

But just as he was pulling the football away from his foot, Joe Hart's hand, which had fallen to the ground, suddenly stretched out and touched the ball as if it had grown out of thin air!

Park Ji-sung didn't expect this, he followed up with a kick in the air, and his body staggered forward.

Joe Hart jumped up from the ground with unusual agility, threw himself at the football that he had pushed away, and then pressed the whole person firmly.

"Hold on!!!Joe Hart's world-class save!"

"It's said that the England goalkeeper is a weakness, let's take a look at Joe Hart's performance, it was a wonderful save!"

"Joe Hart, one of his top saves saved City!"

Park Ji-sung sat on the ground and stretched out his hand to take the referee's penalty, but the referee ran away from the penalty area and beckoned him to hurry up, without the slightest intention of awarding a penalty to Manchester City.

Joe Hart's brilliant performance won the unanimous cheers of the Manchester City fans in the stadium. But Joe Hart was not complacent with these cheers, on the contrary, he was on the verge of an outburst of anger.

He didn't rush out with the football in his arms, but yelled at all the Manchester City players: "Bastard, what happened to the mistake just now, why didn't anyone look at the South Korean!! cheer me up! Cheer me up! Do you think I'm joking?!

Ferguson has given the order, since Manchester City is now over the problem, then, now is a good opportunity for Manchester United to attack and score!

A few minutes earlier, Ferguson had risen from the dugout, paced slowly to the sidelines, made a forward gesture to the field, and then turned and walked back to the dugout.

Manchester United began to attack frantically with the wave of Alex Ferguson's flag.

Time went fast under United's onslaught, and by the time City had time to catch their breath, they had just fifteen minutes left in the game.

And they surprisingly didn't concede a goal under Manchester United's onslaught. No wonder the commentators have to say that it is Joe Hart's level swing. Manchester United, as the boss of the Premier League, is definitely not weak in attack. And Manchester City, who have always been considered weak in attack and weak in defense, can withstand their attack, which is really a remarkable achievement.

Park Ji-sung received a pass from his own backfield, and he turned and dribbled forward, thinking that Manchester City's poor form would definitely not threaten him now. But this time he was completely wrong.

He had just taken the ball into the centre circle when Dzeko brought it down with a vicious tackle and it fell to the City player. And more importantly, the referee didn't blow a foul!

Park Ji-sung was still sitting on the ground and raised his hand to protest to the referee, but here Manchester City had already played a quick counter-attack.

Dzeko passes the ball to Milner. Milner relied on his pace and made an acceleration to easily break past the United full-back and then cross.

Yang Fan, who followed up in the middle, unceremoniously got in front of Vidic to head the ball and forced a powerful header from De Gea into a brilliant save.

De Gea flew up and knocked the ball over the crossbar.

The commentator also applauded Manchester City's attack, Yang Fan's shot and De Gea's save, Manchester City's side, the best performance is undoubtedly their captain Yang Fan, and Manchester United's side, De Gea is undoubtedly the best in the team. Without David De Gea's brilliant performance, United would now have at least two more goals to score.

Manchester City prepare for a corner.

In terms of previous experience, David De Gea and Manchester United both believe that they will hoist the ball straight in front of goal and look for Kompany and Colo Toure.

Especially Kompany, although he is a central defender, but his header ability is good, as long as it is Manchester City's front-court set-piece, Kompany's header is Manchester City's offensive weapon.

Therefore, Vidic also temporarily put aside Yang Fan this time, he came up to mark Kompany, in his mind, in such a set-piece attack, Kompany's high point is more threatening than Yang Fan.

Unexpectedly, Manchester City This is a tactical corner, after several passes of the football, to the feet of Yang Fan, Yang Fan made a move to shoot, which caused the Manchester United defense to be surprised, but he turned the football sideways, and then people saw Yaya Toure rushing up, directly a burst shot!

If it weren't for De Gea's attention to the high concentration and Yaya Toure's shot being too right, the goal would have been there.

The commentator was also shocked, and Manchester City seemed to wake up from a dream.

All of a sudden, all the spectators felt this change in Manchester City. It is the opposite of the momentum of the previous 30 minutes, a momentum that must be scored and must win.

Just when Manchester United pressed out for nearly half an hour and the whole team was tired, Manchester City suddenly broke out.

Yaya Toure received the ball from Sagna and passed it to Silva, who did not dribble the ball but passed it back to Yaya Toure again, and the two hit the wall in a one-two. Carrick had to come up to defend Yaya Toure. And just as he pounced, Yaya Toure passed the football to Silva in a very timely manner.

Silva, who got rid of Carrick for the time being, began his dribbling show. He dodged Fletcher's onslaught with a twist of his body with the ball, and then immediately pulled his body in the opposite direction and twisted again to barely avoid Fletcher's relentless counter-tackle.

The Manchester City fans in the stands were hooked, and Silva's breakthrough was nothing short of beautiful.

Yang Fan and Dzeko ran in two different directions, which made the United defenders think Silva would pass the football to the two strikers, so they ran with them and were ripped out.

Silva made a gap in the crowd that he could break into. He smacked the ball and squeezed it to the side.

How could he let Silva into the penalty area? As a teammate of the national team, De Ge knew that Silva was very good.

He quickly moved to block Silva's angle. Fortunately, Silva didn't burst in from the middle of the box, otherwise De Gea wouldn't have known how to block it in the face of a huge goal and a shot angle.

O'Shea, who realised he had made a mistake, immediately left Dzeko alone, and he pounced on Silva, who had to get to the designated spot before Silva could shoot.

O'Shea made a decisive sliding tackle, he didn't go for the foul, he wasn't stupid, this was in the penalty area, he wanted to slide in front of Silva in the hope of stretching his body as much as possible to block Silva's bocce shot through his own posture, and at the same time, the tackle's leg raised high was also a gesture to defend him to shoot a half-high ball.

But Silva didn't have a shot on target and he struck again with ease to shake O'Shea past and head it straight to De Gea.

De Gea strikes.

Silva smiled, he was waiting for this moment, and Silva toe picked up halfway through De Gea's attack.

Hanging doors!

The ball arced, flew over De Gea's head, and crashed into the net amid the cheers of the Etihad Stadium.
