Chapter 579: I Took It!
Dick's arrangement is very simple, use a strange soldier like Joel Luca to resist Manchester United's attack on the left - Ronaldo can't play, Manchester United's attack must be concentrated on the left side, Joel Luka's characteristics are perfect for dealing with veterans like Ryan Giggs, even if Tevezla attacks on the side, there are central defenders to deal with him, so that the defense will be more stable.
In terms of offense, it is to focus on Brown's side, not only Ribery, but also Barnes, who inserts assists, will play a sufficient role on this side, Nani does not have much help in defence, and Hargreaves and Carrick will have a greater impact on Manchester United's midfield defense if they go to this side more to fill in the position.
Dick is not worried that Ferguson will see through this idea, because even if he sees through it, there will not be too many ways to solve this kind of problem, and now Dick has only been in office for a long time, even if the fans have great expectations for him, and the players are suppressed by his fame, but this alone cannot make his position stable, and consecutive victories will be more able to stabilize this, especially a victory like the Manchester derby, which has enough effect on stabilizing his position and prestige!
For Alex Ferguson, such a win won't be enough to shake anything, as he has long since turned United into his one-man team in the past.
"I can't afford to lose, you can afford to lose, so you should lose......" Dick thought to himself.
After this wave of Manchester City's attack, Manchester United quickly launched an offensive, Brown, who was broken through by Ribery several times, began to assist forward, received Carrick's ball and then crossed low to the front of the penalty area, Scholes did not stop the ball and directly divided the ball, the ball passed to the feet of Nani in the corner of the penalty area, Nani volleyed directly without stopping the ball!
For the Portuguese, the shot was very exciting, the ball flew accurately towards the goal, fast and powerful!
However, Hart once again showed his keen reflexes, and when the ball flew out, he was already flying up, and then stretched out his long arm in the air, saw the ball, and blocked the ball with one palm!
The stands resounded with warm applause from Manchester City fans, although they did not concede goals in the first two rounds, but under the defense of Manchester City, the two goalkeepers had no chance to perform, Schmeichel also made a mistake in the first round, and there was no chance for Ixasson to save in the second round, and in this game, Manchester United's attack was also very ferocious, and Hart showed his good form!
This is also a preferential treatment given by Dick to Hart, and it is his own outstanding performance that will allow him to have such a stage.
The saved ball fell to Barnes, who quickly passed the ball to Yaya Toure, who turned to protect the ball, and then distributed it to Parker, who quickly passed it to Torres, who retreated in front of him to get the ball.
As soon as Torres got the ball, United's attackers started running forward, and soon Torres passed the ball to Ribery and ran forward on his own.
In terms of overall attack, Manchester City is not very good at playing now, but with that kind of small-scale cooperation, Manchester City has gradually had some tacit understanding.
Torres' forward cut caught the attention of the United defenders, but Ribery didn't pass the ball but began to dribble on his own, until Hargreaves pounced on him and he made a quick stop to pass the ball to Barnes, who was following up.
Barnes didn't stop the ball, and made a diagonal pass to Torres, who was cutting forward!
Torres made a feint at the top of the penalty area, which attracted Ferdinand to come up and block it, but then took advantage of the situation to flick the ball to the side, dodged the angle of the shot, and then picked up his right foot and volleyed vigorously!
Nemanja Vidic was a step too slow to fill in the position, and Van der Sar, who rose up, couldn't save the ball, the ball flew past Van der Sar's hand, smashed hard at the junction of the crossbar and the post in the next moment, and then bounced to the other side of the United penalty area!
"It's too hanging! Almost scored......" shouted the commentator.
The ball bounced out was picked up by Di Natale who followed up, but this position was already very off, Di Natale was quickly entangled by Evra, who returned to the defense, he did not force a breakthrough, but turned and passed the ball back, and the follow-up Yaya Toure shot vigorously from a distance, and the ball deflected off the near post.
It wasn't until the ball hit the billboard behind the goal that everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and the series of attacks just now were carried out so tightly that people barely had time to breathe, although the goal was not scored, which also made the Manchester City players involuntarily relieved, and then sighed, and then began to applaud.
Manchester United intended to use the attack to suppress Manchester City's attack, but this attack they were stopped by the Manchester City midfielder - Scholes passed the ball back, Carrick intended to distribute it to Evra, who inserted an assist on the wing, but was tackled by Yaya Toure, who was struggling to run, and when Carrick and Evra were about to attack, Yaya Toure, who was still on the ground, swept the ball to Parker who came up next to him!
When Parker got the ball, Ribery was already ready to start on the wing, his running attracted the attention of the United players, so far Manchester City's attack has been initiated by Ribery, and the threat is quite large, even in the first two games, Ribery has launched more than 70% of Manchester City's attack, the effect is very good.
When Manchester United's defensive formation began to deviate to the left, Parker did not split the side, but directly plugged the ball and passed the ball to Torres at the front!
Torres got the ball with his back to goal, Rio Ferdinand met it, and Nemanja Vidic was on the side, although there were only two of them in the box at this time, but it was also difficult for Torres to get past the two of them......
But at this moment, Vidic suddenly felt that he had overlooked something......
Then he saw that Torres did not turn around, but directly raised his right foot and quickly slammed his heel on the ball!
The ball flew diagonally between Ferdinand and Vidic to the other side of the box, and at the same time, a dwarf figure in sky blue was quickly inserted into the box!
Vidic then remembered what he had overlooked – City were two strikers, not just Torres!
It's just that Di Natale was too non-existent before, the game has been going on for twenty minutes now, he only has the ball once, and the rest of the time he is running silently, not at all inconspicuous, so that many people feel that there is no such person on the field......
However, this time he appeared, but he quickly focused all his eyes on himself!
Vidic spun around quickly, then quickly fell to the ground to tackle the ball in the middle of the game, trying to intercept Di Natale's shot halfway through, but he was still a step too late!
Di Natale, who caught up with the ball, did not stop the ball, but picked up his right foot directly in the middle of the run and pushed it directly into the far corner!
The ball flew close to the ground, past Vidic's outstretched feet, then past Van der Sar's fallen hands, smashed on the inside of the far post in front of everyone's eyes, and bounced into the back of the net......
"The ball is in! Di Natale! Third goal in three league games! It seemed like the first time I saw Di Natale and he scored...... You must know that in the summer transfer, Di Natale is not remarkable, although he and Yaya Toure transferred to Manchester City for up to 20 million pounds, but it is generally believed that Yaya Toure's transfer fee is the big one...... Di Natale's official price is £5 million, which is the lowest value Manchester City have brought in this season after Hart, who was brought in for free, but he has performed well since the start of the season, and this is already his third goal! Cool killer in front of the door! ”
"Di Natale seized his chance! You must know that the attention of the various princes of the Premier League is now more on Torres and Franck Ribery, which gives him more opportunities...... If the opponent pays more attention to him in the next time, then maybe his form will drop a lot......"
The commentators began to evaluate the goal, and to be honest, many people were not prepared for this goal, and they didn't expect it to be Di Natale - because before this goal, Di Natale was so unpresence, and as a result, he scored such a goal as soon as he appeared in front of the camera......
Di Natale ran on the pitch with open arms, he began to feel that playing in the Premier League was the right choice, and now under Dick, he began to become the main force, and in his eyes, the defenders of the Premier League are really not very good in the choice of position, he can always find gaps, he doesn't need to have much physical confrontation with the opponent, he just needs to run to the right position, there is always a chance to come out.
That's the way he plays as a centre-forward, a smarter way.
Dick slapped hard in the face, and so far, his tactical arrangements have all been reflected, whether it is blocking the opponent's left attack, using Ribery to deal with the opponent's right defense, and then using Torres as a guise to let the silent Di Natale kill with one blow...... Although there is a factor in Ferguson's overstretched employment, being able to achieve such a result is enough to make Dick feel satisfied.
And Ferguson shook his head, this goal is a little helpless, the result of focusing on the right side of the supplement is that there will be some disjointedness in the middle, unfortunately, the first disconnection, was caught by Di Natale......
The Reds regrouped and attacked, but the morale-boosting Manchester City kept their attack to a back with frantic running in midfield, and the training camp for Manchester City worked well this summer, at least for this time, and their players were very good at running ......
In such a relentless run, United's attack was difficult to organise, and two good quality long-range shots were saved by a focused Hart.
After fending off United's attack, City quickly launched another counter-attack.
The ball was passed to the feet of Ribery again, this time the United defenders noticed Di Natale's movement, but Ribery did not pass the ball into the box, but crossed low to the edge of the box, and Parker shot directly at the goal without stopping, the ball hit the back of Vidic who jumped up, and drew a slight arc, bypassing Van der Sar's fingertips and running directly into the corner of the goal!
This time Dick really jumped with his hands raised, and after seeing the ball, he was sure that this Manchester derby victory would definitely belong to him!
Although it is a bit of a victory...... But Jazz, I didn't let your players get hurt, and I can't blame you for that...... Anyway, I won this derby!
