'Neither the free-kick nor the corner were scored, the scoreline didn't change.

'Manchester United are still a one-goal lead on the road.

"But ......"

Lineker looked at the broadcast screen.

On the field, Manchester United is already very passive.

As time passed, Fellaini's departure became apparent.

Although Ferguson replaced Kobayashi with Jesse Lingard as a midfielder, Kobayashi's defensive ability was not as good as Fellaini's. Compared to Fellaini, he is more than industrious, but he still lacks some game experience. And, more importantly, Manchester United are one less man to play after all.

It's not something that can be solved by a new Lingard.

Defensively, they struggled, while in attack, United's attack on the left flank was largely paralyzed with Anthony Martial gone.

Chu Ge and Marcus Rashford looked indifferent up front.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Manchester City's attack on the right flank played well and caused great problems for Manchester United. If it weren't for N'Golo Kante and Manolas fighting fires, coupled with David De Gea's courageous performance, Manchester United might have been punctured by their opponents.

……

"Tintin!"

Pep Guardiola beckoned from the sidelines.

Hearing the coach's shout, De Bruyne walked to the sidelines.

"You move closer to the right and let Sergio [Aguero] come over as well. Talk to Pablo [Zabaleta] and let him continue to increase the number of assists. We need to concentrate on the right flank and cause more problems for United. They won't last long! Pep Guardiola grabbed De Bruyne's shoulders and danced in his hands.

Tintin nodded.

With the coach's instructions, he quickly returned to the court.

Sidelines.

Ferguson glanced at Pep Guardiola.

Although he didn't go over to eavesdrop, he was able to guess what adjustments Guardiola would make.

However, what's the use of guessing?

Even if he knew about City's next tactical changes, Ferguson didn't have a good idea of what to do.

There is one less person on the field to fight, which is so passive.

Ferguson lifted his wrist to look at his watch.

"It's less than ten minutes."

'There were red cards, there were disputes, the first half was not very coherent and there could be three or five minutes of stoppage time. Including stoppage time, there may be about 12 minutes left. It is hoped that the players will deliberately withstand the ten minutes of the game and maintain the small advantage of the lead until halftime. At halftime, we'll figure it out. ”

Ferguson frowned, thinking.

After already wasting a substitution due to a red card, there was not much room for Ferguson to adjust in the first half.

He can only hope that the players can try to survive the ten or so minutes of play.

"The next 10 minutes or so are going to be critical." Zhan Jun stared intently at the broadcast screen.

His professional instinct told him that these 10 minutes of play would most likely determine the course of the entire derby. Even, to exaggerate, the final situation of this season's Premier League title race will change because of this short ten-minute game.

Sidelines.

Pep Guardiola frowned and watched the game carefully.

At this time, he quieted down instead.

The Etihad Stadium has also become somewhat quieter.

Apart from the occasional applause from the fans, there wasn't much noise.

Everyone was watching the game seriously.

……

Marcus Rashford with the ball.

He was caught in the bag by three City defenders.

Looking sideways, Rashford was frustrated to see that his team-mates were a little far away from him.

Whether it was Chu Ge, or Lingard, who was supposed to be plugged in, or Darmian, the closest distance to Rashford was more than ten meters away.

"What should I do next?"

After being surrounded by his opponents, Rashford hesitated for a while.

Just when he was a little distracted, Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany suddenly stepped up. His muscular body squeezed Marcus Rashford away and stabbed the ball out of the Reds' feet with a very strong force.

Marcus Rashford quickly turned around and chased after the football.

At this point, Fernandinho rushed to the ball first, striding the ball past Rashford.

Then.

The United players are still sprinting forward to pick up Marcus Rashford.

Manchester United's formation is pressing forward.

"It's an opportunity!"

Fernandinho looked up and only looked at it, and the Brazilian striker immediately made a decision. With a big kick, he sent the ball long to the emptiest position at the back of the field.

Behind Damian.

Call!

The ball flew over Damian's head.

"Oops!"

Damian quickly stopped his rush and turned around and began to chase back.

And at this time, De Bronnet rushed out.

He sped towards the ball and got ahead of N'Golo Kante to take control.

N'Golo Kante was the first United player to realise the intent of Fernandinho's pass. He moved quickly to cover Darmian's back, just in time to meet Kevin De Bruyne, who was picking up the ball from the side.

In the face of N'Golo Kante's tight defence, even the best of Kevin De Bruyne will feel pressured.

"There is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome, but there is Kante who cannot be overcome!" He Wei, a well-known sports blogger, commented through Weibo.

As soon as he posted this Weibo, he saw a precise cross from De Bruyne, and the ball went around Kante and fell directly at the feet of Sane.

Kante was hard to get through, but he was just a man after all.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands.

De Bruyne's clever pass immediately took the ball out of Kante's defensive range.

'Sane's movement is smart. He was on the left side, but now he's suddenly in the middle. The change in position caught Manchester United's defenders a little off guard. ”

As soon as Zhan Jun's voice fell, he saw Sane suddenly send a direct pass.

As the United defender ran towards him, Sane slid the ball straight past Aguero on the edge of the box.

Facing the pass of his teammate, Aguero started instantly.

One trip.

Break Blind's defense.

Followed by.

Sergio Aguero kicks up with a shot!

Boom!

The football boomed with a bang.

Like a cloud-piercing arrow, it flew towards the Manchester United goal in an instant.

De Gea reacted immediately.

He came out of nowhere, leaping to save, his arms raised high and hitting the football.

Swish!

The football whistled and wiped De Gea's gloves, the trajectory changed slightly, but it was still headlong into the United goal.

“Goooal！”

The commentator in the stadium jumped instantly.

Rumble!

The whole Etihad began to boil.

"Sergio – Sergio!"

"Sergio – Sergio!"

The fans excitedly chanted the hero's name.

Aguero rushed to the sideline in one breath and slid directly to his knees in front of the billboard.

"Nice celebratory moves! Beautiful goal! ”

"Sergio Aguero is the current player with the most goals in a Manchester derby! He scored his seventh derby goal against David De Gea! ”

"Manchester City, tie the score!"
