Chapter 785: It's a Derby after all

"From the very beginning of the game! The pace is very fast! The two teams didn't need to be tempted at all and went straight to the attack!! ”

"Both teams don't show weakness to each other!!"

In the state of attack, the game proceeds very quickly!

Fans on both sides cheered as they attacked, and for the neutral fans, it was the battle that was the most enjoyable.

In the first ten minutes of the game, both teams combined for 11 shots on goal!

On average, they were able to complete one shot on goal every minute, and both sides were unreserved!

Manchester United's attacking threat is in sight.

He finally didn't have the calmness at the beginning, and also came to the sidelines to stand.

However, he did not speak, nor did he intervene in the current situation.

It was a good opportunity to test the depth of United.

There is no doubt that Pep Guardiola's Manchester United will be City's biggest rival this season.

In the 11th minute of the game, Hernandez's shot from outside the box failed to hit the power and was held by Oblak.

City then attacked.

Umtiti received the ball and United immediately launched a press in front.

This is characteristic of Pep Guardiola's side, who soon formed one-on-one marking up front against several potential receivers of Manchester City.

At this point, Umtiti made a feint to pass the ball to the wing, and then suddenly turned around and took a step forward on his own.

This step is very crucial!

Because Umtiti made a move to dribble forward, United had to shrink the players who were in front of the field to the middle to stop Umtiti from dribbling the ball.

And that's what Umtiti is all about!

When United chose to shrink in the middle, he was then assigned to the wing.

Gao Bo nodded when he saw this, which is one of the reasons why he bought Umtiti.

Although the Frenchman is still very young, he has the air of a general, he is very calm on the field, and every action is very purposeful.

He simply moved forward and forced United's defence back 30 metres.

Guardiola frowned.

He looked at Gao Bo not far away.

He really couldn't understand why Gao Bo could always find some such awesome young players.

This came as a surprise to Pep Guardiola.

Umtiti has just handled the ball and he admires the young youngster who has the potential to develop into a truly world-class centre-back.

By this time, City's attack had advanced past half-time.

Sanchez on the left is holding the ball.

He made a break to the outside and then cut inside past Kyle Walker, and he immediately passed the ball forward and handed it to Eden Hazard!

At the same time, Sanchez cut forward after passing the ball, but Kyle Walker followed very closely!

Eden Hazard had planned to play a wall-kick with Alexis Sanchez, but now he had to change his mind when he saw Kyle Walker's defence.

However, Sanchez's movement still worked, and he took Kyle Walker away!

Antoine Griezmann fills the gap!

Hazard passed the ball back, Griezmann barely looked up, he immediately met the ball and shifted it!

Football to the right!

"Pretty !!!"

David Silva on the right didn't stop the ball either!

He arched his foot and put the ball forward!

Trippier rushed up behind him and got the ball near the line on the right!

Then he crossed the ball directly into the middle!

Eden Hazard pressed up and caught the attention of two United defenders while emptying the area near the spot!

And Sanchez plugged in here!

In a hurry, Carrick's arch pushed the ball forward, and it fell directly to Griezmann's feet!

Faced with such an opportunity, Griezmann won directly and volleyed!

Bang!!!

The football was like a bolt of lightning across the sky at Wembley Stadium and into the goal!!

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”

"Antoine Griezmann!! Pretty!!! ”

"One to zero!! Manchester City opened the scoring!!!! ”

The Manchester City players laughed and celebrated, and the Manchester City fans cheered!

Such a scene happened last season!

Manchester United were beaten by Manchester City last season! Now Manchester City have once again scored first against Manchester United.

It looks like Manchester United are likely to lose to Manchester City again and usher in a third straight defeat in the Manchester derby!

...

The Manchester City players were also very happy, and they thought that after scoring the first goal, the game was basically stable!

Then they continued to attack and try to extend their lead.

But the next goal didn't go to City.

In the twenty-first minute of the game, Manchester United attacked!

Luka Modric has a straight shot from midfield, Hernandez!

Hernandez twisted his body awkwardly, grabbed the kick before Umtiti, and stabbed the ball towards the goal!

Oblak couldn't react and the ball rolled into the net!!

Gao Bo was a little helpless about the goal conceded, which is the characteristic of young players, especially in the position of central defender.

Hernandez has more experience than Umtiti, and Umtiti didn't expect Hernandez to stab him like this when he was separated by a person.

It was a completely unconventional shot.

With this goal, United equalised.

....

Twenty minutes into the first half, both sides had already scored a goal each.

Neither side was conservative in the rest of the game!

The two teams continue to fight against each other!

"This is probably the best Community Shield match in recent years!!"

"Manchester United have improved a lot this season, they are attacking against Manchester City, and they are not falling behind!!"

"Manchester United's recruitment has been very successful and Pep Guardiola's second season is exciting!!"

The commentators applauded the open game.

Both teams put in a lot of equipment on the offensive end, and they didn't be conservative at all!

However, after Manchester United equalized in the 21st minute, the battle between the two sides continued until more than 30 minutes!

At this time, no one will relax easily.

Moreover, the game gradually smelled of gunpowder.

In the 38th minute, Antoine Griezmann was knocked to the ground by Thiago, sparking a skirmish between players from both sides.

The referee gave Thiago and Fernandinho, who rushed up to push Thiago, a yellow card to calm the incident.

Even if it was just a Community Shield match, both teams in Manchester were not at all polite to their opponents.

Anyway, it's a Manchester derby.

As the game progressed, the smell of gunpowder on both sides gradually came up!

In the last seven or eight minutes of the first half, players from both teams received yellow cards.

However, the lack of a goal in the first half did not produce a goal.

Both teams entered the locker room with a score of 1-1.
