When Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Manchester United's goal and rushed out of the pitch to celebrate, in front of the home team's coach's box, Ferguson helplessly spread his hands and cursed indignantly.

But, no one knows who he is scolding?

Was it Cristiano Ronaldo who scored, Ben Foster who conceded, or Rio Ferdinand, who didn't defend well?

Ben Foster wasn't good enough to be United's first-choice goalkeeper, Ferguson knew from the start, but he felt the goalkeeper was still young and given the opportunity to develop his skills, especially after watching his performances at Watford and in the Carabao Cup, Ferguson was even more adamant about that.

Sometimes, however, for a team like Manchester United, developing young players comes at a cost.

Van der Sar is in such good form, how can Manchester United let him go and support Ben Foster in the position?

For the sake of results, Van der Sar always occupies the main position, and Foster has no opportunity to play and practice, so he slowly wastes his competitive state, and even his confidence is gradually eroded, resulting in some gains and losses in the game.

Ferdinand, too, would give his head a spin every now and then.

Don't talk about the return pass at the beginning, just the moment when Benzema stealed, is he not responsible?

Ben Foster's misjudgment was indeed the main cause, but should Rio Ferdinand have alerted the goalkeeper to Benzema's movements at that time? But did he? He ran into the box and didn't move, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Ferguson knew what the problem was.

Gary Neville is retiring, the two vice-captains of the team, Ryan Giggs and Ferdinand, have a chance to take over the armband, and Giggs is not young, it stands to reason that Ferdinand should take over, but he is not steady enough, how can people be reassured?

What's even more difficult is that now Rooney has also made a clear request, hoping to renew his contract and serve as the captain of the team.

It can be said that this incident has caused a lot of opinions within the team, and Ferguson himself is also a big two.

"If I concede a goal in two minutes, do I still have a choice?" Ferguson said to himself coldly as he looked at Gao Han in front of the away team's coach's box.

In fact, he had already made his choice before the game even started.

…………

…………

After conceding a goal, United launched a frantic counter-attack.

Ferguson lined up in a four-three-two-one formation for this game, with Foster in goal, Leyton Barnes, Pepe, Rio Ferdinand and O'Shea in the back, three laggers in midfield, Nemanja Nemanja Matic, Carrick and Fletcher, Ryan Giggs and Tevez in front, and Rooney in attack.

It is not difficult to see from Ferguson's line-up that the Red Devils are clearly showing that they are going to fight Manchester City to the end.

Sure enough, the Red Devils, who fought back frantically, put pressure on Manchester City playing away, especially in midfield.

Both teams can be said to have played mercilessly, without sparing any hands.

Manchester City launched a rush from the start, and United fought back desperately after conceding a goal.

The game was very intense, and the two teams played a fairly fast-paced battle against each other.

It wasn't until the 14th minute that after Tevez broke the ball in front, Giggs launched a counterattack on the spot, plugged straight behind, and assisted Wayne Rooney to insert into the penalty area and score to equalize the score for Manchester United.

The goal also rekindled morale at Old Trafford, with all the Red Devils fans cheering wildly and cheering on the players inside.

But what is strange is that after the draw, the two teams played a bit of a stalemate.

Manchester City kept trying to control the ball, but Manchester United kept disrupting Manchester City's passing control, especially the three midfielders who dragged back, which made Manchester City's midfielder very uncomfortable, and the passing and control style of play could not be carried out smoothly.

Gao Han was not in a hurry at all, and slowly spent time with Manchester United.

Both sides ended the first half with a 1-1 scoreline.

But after the rematch in the second half, Manchester City suddenly launched another round of attack, especially the overall formation was pressed very high.

After Gao Han saw the team successfully suppressing Manchester United on the sidelines, he used all the skill cards in one go to launch a wave of indiscriminate bombardment on Manchester United, and soon reaped miraculous results on the field.

In the 49th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo cut inside with the ball on the left side, David Silva suddenly inserted to the left side, received the Portuguese heel back, and passed diagonally with his left foot, Sanchez inserted in the back row, volleyed with his right foot, and once again penetrated Manchester United's goal, exceeding the score again, 2-1.

Just two minutes later, it was David Silva's cross from the left that was cleared by Pepe, but on the edge of the box, Modric curled a shot from distance, but it was just over the goal.

Just a minute later, Luka Modric crossed the ball and Cristiano Ronaldo struck with his left foot, but the ball was saved by Ben Foster, but Benzema, who was on track, missed the ball and slotted home to make it three to one.

With two goals in a row, Manchester City can be described as overwhelming.

But at the crucial moment, United quickly hit the counter-attack.

Carrick's long pass launched a counterattack, Tevez grabbed the ball first, then attacked in the middle, divided the ball to the left, Giggs curled the ball into the goal, straight into the corner, for Manchester United to pull a goal back, 2-3.

After a wonderful offensive battle in the opening ten minutes of the second half, the two sides fell into a stalemate again.

But this time, City were able to control the ball without any problems.

Gao Han is well aware that Manchester United's physical strength has been almost exhausted.

Especially after 65 minutes, the situation on the field of Manchester United is even more at a disadvantage.

Although the Red Devils are high-spirited and tenacious, they are constantly tired and tired, and the physical consumption is very huge, especially the main starting lineup in the team, which is even more exhausted.

Ferguson quickly made his first substitution, replacing Ryan Giggs with Park Ji-sung, and United decisively changed their formation to 442.

After a ten-minute stalemate, United's defence once again made a mistake that it shouldn't have been.

Rio Ferdinand was disrupted by Karim Benzema on a catch, only to be cut off by the Frenchman, who slotted the ball diagonally behind United.

Cristiano Ronaldo stepped in the back row, passed through Ferdinand's defense zone at great speed, successfully countered offside, caught up with the ball and then smashed into the penalty area, pushing the goal from a small angle to rewrite the score to four to two.

It was also the Portuguese's second brace in a row this season!

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal tally climbed to eight all at once, which was staggering.

But Ferguson was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and after falling behind by two goals, he was still not to be outdone, and soon replaced substitute striker Owen and replaced Fletcher to strengthen the team's attack.

And the result was precisely Owen, in the 80th minute of the game, taking advantage of Zabaleta's departure position, from the left rib into the Manchester City penalty area, receiving a pass from a teammate and scoring a single goal, rewriting the score to 3-4.

In the last ten minutes, both sides played inextricably and did not spare the slightest hand.

Ferguson also quickly ran out of final substitutions, bringing on Anderson for Carrick in hopes of further intensifying the attack.

Gao Han was unmoved, and still played according to the starting lineup.

Until the 86th minute, Modric advanced with the ball in the middle, Manchester United midfielder Park Ji-sung fouled from behind, was shown a yellow card by the referee, and also gave Manchester City a chance to take a free kick in front.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty himself, scored a wonderful defoliating ball, calmly sent the ball into Foster's goal, and scored a hat-trick!

At the moment when he saw Cristiano Ronaldo score with a direct free kick, Gao Han rushed out of the coaching area excitedly, waving his right fist vigorously and shouting loudly.

Scoring his first Premier League hat-trick in his career, Cristiano Ronaldo frantically rushed off the pitch and straight to the sidelines, picking up Gao Han, who had rushed out of the coaching area.

"Oh God, hat-trick!"

"It was the first hat-trick of the season in the Premier League, and the number seven from Manchester City, Cristiano Ronaldo. ”

"Let's congratulate Cristiano Ronaldo, he really did a great job. ”

We can see that he and the manager Gao Han are hugging each other tightly, and the Manchester City players around them are also tightly surrounding them, and everyone looks extremely excited. ”

"It was really a memorable game. ”

Manchester City had just beaten Arsenal 4-1 at the City Stadium and after a week's rest, the Blues temporarily led Manchester United 5-3 away from home, with the cold side showing a shocking attacking prowess for the second game in a row. ”

And in these two rounds, Cristiano Ronaldo undoubtedly played a pivotal role. ”

'Manchester City scored nine goals in two rounds, Cristiano Ronaldo scored five, and attacking players such as Benzema, Alexis Sanchez and Sturridge also impressed, especially Benzema. ”

"We can see that the French talent, under the tutelage of Gao Han, has not only scored a lot of goals this season, but also improved the level of assists rapidly, and has now become an indispensable and important member of the team. ”

"Manchester United should reflect on it. ”

"Manchester United's goalkeeper Forster has not been reassuring since Edwin van der Sar's injury this season, but what is more worrying is the performance of Rio Ferdinand, who has seen a big drop in form compared to last season, which has to be worrying. ”

"While City's defence is not entirely reassuring, City's defensive performance is not entirely reassuring, but their attacking firepower has been revealed, and they have shown that they have the quality to compete with the Premier League's traditional top four in these two league rounds. ”

"It's particularly noteworthy that Manchester City are still in a run-in period so far, a team that has broken through this season's restructuring and have not yet reached their full potential, and there is still considerable room for improvement, especially as other Premier League teams wake up, Brazilian superstar Kaka has yet to make a single appearance. ”

"That said, we have every reason to expect Manchester City to surprise everyone even more. ”

Of course, Manchester City has been criticized in the first four rounds, and even some media reporters criticized Gao Han as a conservative one-to-zero doctrine, to now it has begun to take shape, with nine goals scored in two rounds, which is impressive, and the role of manager Gao Han is crucial. ”

"From Atletico Madrid to Chelsea to Inter Milan to Bayern Munich, every team coached by Gao Han has played the strength to compete for European football, except for Chelsea, every team has been reborn in the hands of Gao Han, laying the foundation of Europe's top teams. ”

"Now, although it is a bit too hasty to judge based on Manchester City's performances in these two rounds of strong conversations, we definitely have reason to expect that Manchester City can become the next top team to win the Europa League under Gao Han's leadership. ”
