United's lead on the road did not surprise most commentators, and it was only a matter of time before Roberto Mancini consistently insisted on attacking play and conceded goals by fools. The fastest update, to their surprise, was to concede so early, and City only held out for eleven minutes before the goal was lost.

In the ensuing period, Manchester City launched a siege on Manchester United's goal, seemingly drowning the United in their tidal attack.

Long-range push, lob, lob, header...... Almost all the shots were taken, but De Gea kept the door intact. During this time, he became the busiest person and the one who was taken care of the most by the TV cameras. City's fans were tormented, and every attack they had was looking forward to, and then the attack was eventually defused by the Spanish goalkeeper named David De Gea.

'Ah, David De Gea, he did a great job. ”

'De Gea! He's doing just too well at the moment, Spain's new Casillas has appeared. ”

'He's reacted really quickly and De Gea is definitely the best goalkeeper in world football today!'

Yaya Toure's long pass in the backfield hit Manchester United directly, Yang Fan stepped in the back row to catch up with Vidic in front of the football, and then went to the penalty area, and everything horizontally stuck Vidic behind him, single!

Just as Yang Fan put the football into the penalty area, De Gea decisively abandoned the goal. He spread his arms, lowered his body's center of gravity, bent his legs slightly, and adjusted his position to block the angle of Yang Fan's shot.

Yang Fan glanced at De Gea's position and then planned to shoot into the near corner, but he didn't try very hard, but shot skillfully.

The soccer ball is heading for the near corner of the goal!

De Gea tried to make a save, but he couldn't get his hands on the ball.

However, the goal did not go in, and Yang Fan's shot hit the post.

In order to avoid De Gea's block, Yang Fan had to angle so tricky that the ball ended up getting too close to the outside and hitting the post.

His shot was blocked out of the goal again, Yang Fan was speechless, this time the shot was not saved by the goalkeeper, but it was blocked by the post, which was really depressing.

Although the post blocked Yang Fan's shot, this time De Gea did not celebrate, but he was afraid for a while, because the current opponent is Yang Fan - a striker with a sense of fear in his heart, this fear is like a demon, it is precisely because he clearly knows that Yang Fan is terrible, De Gea will be even more afraid. He doesn't know how long he can keep a clean sheet in front of the striker.

Therefore, every time he saves Yang Fan's shot, he will loudly remind his teammates to let them pay attention to Yang Fan and minimize his shooting opportunities.

In fact, Manchester United's marking of Yang Fan is still relatively successful, and Vidic has done a good job. The game has been played for 30 minutes, and Yang Fan has only three shots on goal.

Most of the time he could only pass the ball to his team-mates or not at all – Silva was also limited by Carrick. Ferguson's tactics were beautiful.

Mancini was a little discouraged, and in this game, he wanted to compete with Ferguson, but from the current situation of the game, Gerson was clearly a cut above him - Ferguson's tactics completely limited Manchester City's performance, and Manchester City's players could not even use 60% of their usual strength on the field.

This time, Manchester United played a very low posture in the away derby, which was to play defensive counter-attacks, and Mancini even felt that Manchester United's goal was to take a point acceptable.

In fact, it was this low-key and pragmatic mentality that allowed United to play well in this game.

Mancini watched for a while and felt that now was not the time to adjust, and that he needed to continue to watch United's tactical play and then develop a new strategy for the team at half-time.

The current situation, the two sides have entered a relatively calm and anxious stage, Manchester United does not seem to be in a hurry to score to expand the score, and Manchester City is pressing Manchester United to play, and the home team's backline is not in danger for the time being......

The Etihad Stadium erupted in loud cheers again, and this time it was naturally their number one star Yang Fan who got the ball in front of the court.

Although the first few shots were blocked and he failed to score, as Manchester City's number one balloon star, Yang Fan will receive this cheering treatment as soon as he gets the ball.

David De Gea directs the backline to go up and mark and not miss a Manchester City player. And he lowered his center of gravity and waited for him, although Yang Fan had not yet entered the forbidden area, he did not dare to slack off. This man is terrible.

Vidic stepped forward to keep an eye on Yang Fan to prevent him from breaking through or shooting easily, his purpose was to force Yang Fan to bring the football into a dead end, or force Yang Fan to choose to pass.

Yang Fan dribbled slowly and he was not fast - just compared to his full speed - and when facing Vidic, his upper body center of gravity kept shaking, but his feet kept maintaining his original pace. I have to marvel at how inconsistent his upper body and lower body movements, but he can still be highly coordinated.

Vidic didn't dare to be careless, he was also a little dizzy by his real and false actions. Vidic leaned to the left, thinking he was going to break through that way, and hurriedly pounced to his right. However, as soon as his legs were crossed, Yang Fan's left foot, which had been dribbling the ball, suddenly poked the ball through the middle, and the ball passed between Vidic's legs!

Vidic was stunned for a moment, he was completely deceived by Yang Fan's upper body movements, but he didn't expect Yang Fan to make the opposite action at his feet.

At this time, Yang Fan had already taken the opportunity to speed up, and he walked around Vidic's side.

Vidic immediately counter-attacked.

The Serb's reaction was also fast, he quickly turned around and took advantage of the time when Yang Fan had not yet received the football to make a decisive tackle!

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult to shovel a football with his long legs, but he ignored one point, that is, Yang Fan's explosiveness.

Yang Fan overtook from the outside road, he showed a blood-boiling explosiveness, and just a little ahead of Vidic in front of the football, then he stretched out his foot to gently touch the football, and then jumped up to dodge Vidic's last shovel so easily.

De Gea Yiqi was so easily broken through, and hurriedly moved forward to block Yang Fan's shooting angle.

Goalkeepers will do everything they can to expand their defence and they will try to make the most of their bodies to put enough pressure on the opposing strikers. De Gea did just that, he wanted to make Yang Fan feel like he was shrouded in a shadow that could be pressed down at any moment......

Yang Fan didn't determine De Gea's position this time, so he shot directly into the far corner of the goal.

De Gea judged correctly and leapt to his feet and pounced towards the far corner, his body stretched out in the air and his hands reached forward for the football. He could block the ball again.

Sure enough, he folded his hands together in a bowl shape to keep the ball out of the goal, and the ball bounced back in front of his hand and back in front of the goal.

"Pounce again!!! is amazing...... Wait!"

Just as the United fans were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a man appeared in front of goal like a ghost, O'Shea tried to clear the ball but he was firmly stuck behind him and couldn't reach the football with his outstretched feet.

When Dzeko Fan shoots, he starts to thrust forward, maybe he will get almost a follow-up shot?

Sure enough, Yang Fan's shot was powerful and the angle was tricky, and De Gea couldn't have grabbed the football, so he could only choose to block the football, which just blocked the football to where he is now.

This is his chance!

Faced with such an opportunity, Dzeko will not waste it.

Ferdinand behind him was a distraction and was not able to stop his shot!

Dzeko volleyed in a direct shot.

The ball was volleyed straight into the net by him.

This time, De Gea was finally powerless.

“！”

"!! Manchester City equalised!

It was a goal that even City's own manager did not expect, and Mancini stood up from his seat with a surprised look on his face, the goal was a surprise, and Mancini did not expect his team to equalise before the end of the first half.

Dzeko was about to run to the corner flag to celebrate, but was pulled to the ground by Yang Fan halfway, and before he could get up again, he was crushed by more teammates.

It's a Manchester derby, a direct battle against the title rivals, and what a lot of pressure they feel when they're down at home!

Now it's okay, I've equalised, the pressure has been relieved and I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The Etihad Stadium was filled with jubilation, and this time it was the home team's turn to cheer and cheer. Manchester United fans were silent.

"Dzeko's goal...... Before the game, we were all saying that today's duel between Yang Fan and Rooney was the focus, and Rooney scored, but now this time it was not Yang Fan's goal, it was Dzeko's goal, of course, Dzeko's goal also came from the opportunity that Yang Fan's shot was saved. ”

"De Gea!" his save was found in the net by Dzeko, and let's be honest, De Gea was brilliant throughout the first half until this goal, but this time it was fatal!"

"Well, in fact, this goal can't be considered sudden. Let's review the game, in the first 40 minutes, although Yang Fan only had four shots on goal, but each shot was not directly held by De Gea, he could only try his best to save. This also shows that De Gea also tried his best against Yang Fan, but he could not completely disintegrate the threat! The goal itself was not a mistake by De Gea, but he really couldn't hold Yang Fan's shot, Yang Fan's shot was too high, and it was good enough to be able to save the first shot. In short, De Gea cannot be blamed for this goal, but it should be said that Yang Fan is indeed too strong, and of course, Dzeko's supplementary shot is also wonderful. ”

De Gea was a little frustrated, he fished the ball out of the ball and kicked it into the air like a vent...... In the entire first half, he saved at least three inevitable goals from Manchester City's side, and the team was able to enter the break with a one-goal lead, but he didn't expect to lose points at the end of the first half, can this not make De Gea depressed?!

The quality of Yang Fan's shots is too high, and every time he shoots, the angle that this person pursues is very bad. Every time he can pounce, he does his best. And to hold on to it? That's just an extravagant hope.

For example, he lost the ball just now, he had done his best, but Yang Fan's shooting angle was too awkward, almost going to the dead corner, and it was already great that he could go to football.

This guy is terrifying, and at a glance, De Gea is worthy of being the top scorer in football today - almost every shot on goal is full of killing opportunities.

De Gea knew that, but there was nothing he could do, he could only try to hit the ball a little further away or use his whole body to suppress it. To be honest, goalkeepers like to pounce on that kind and themselves **** In addition, the goalkeeper is most afraid of a situation that the football rebounds in front of the goal, which will increase the variables and increase the difficulty of the goalkeeper to save the ball, Yang Fan is very cunning, the arc of the high ball he shot is weird, if it is a boccia, it is also the kind of ground ball that makes people headaches in the most cases, in addition, Yang Fan is also very good at that kind of rebound ball, he presses the football down, which causes the football to fall when it arrives in front of the goal, and it bounces on the ground, which will cause great trouble for the goalkeeper。

So, to be honest, De Gea was able to save Yang Fan's first shot this time, which is already very good.

Yang Fan was like King Arthur with a spear, attacking on De Gea's shield with one shot, and finally the shield cracked, and then, one blow was fatal!

Five minutes after the goal, the first half of the game went into stoppage time, and the minute of stoppage time passed quickly, and the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At the end of the first half, Manchester City equalized after conceding a goal, and the score is now temporarily fixed at 1-1.

Mancini didn't immediately go back to the dressing room, he smoked in the bathroom and thought about the second half.

Manchester United and Manchester City draw and back to the starting point, which has a great impact on the second half of the game, this game, Manchester United wants to continue to maintain the hope of winning the title, they must win Manchester United, and for Manchester City, as long as this game does not lose, it is an acceptable result, so at this time, Manchester City and Mancini are satisfied.

So, for Manchester United, because they were not able to hold on to a one-goal lead, should they continue to attack in the second half?

Does that mean that United will be desperate to attack in the second half?

But what if it happens that it's acceptable to get a point away from home?

Mancini was starting to have a headache, and he was wondering how likely it was.

In the process of the head coach, it is a process of fighting wits and courage.
