United's first attacking attempt resulted in a shot on goal.

This gave Manchester United fans a little bit of peace of mind about the game.

Judging from the performance in the opening game, Manchester United looked quite good in today's game.

At least the first tentative attack was a threat.

If the media hype that Manchester City's winning streak is due to weak teams does not prove whether Manchester City are still strong against strong teams, then it is clear that United did not seem to be very good against strong teams in the first few games of the season, drawing at home to Chelsea and losing away to bitter rivals Liverpool. This draw and defeat put Manchester United in a passive situation at the beginning of the season.

Pep Guardiola relaxed a lot after seeing his team finish their first shot on goal.

But soon he became nervous.

Because City's attack quickly advanced past the front.

Antoine Griezmann fired a long-range shot from outside the box, and if it hadn't been for De Gea's reach out at the crucial moment, the goal might have gone in!

Pep Guardiola's nervousness isn't over yet.

Because after Manchester United's first attack, Manchester City's offensive is in full swing!

Manchester City's form at home does not look affected by the Champions League in midweek at all, but Manchester United, who played a game in midweek, look a little tired.

For such a situation, in fact, Gao Bo has also expected it.

The first point is that since the beginning of the season, Gao Bo has begun to pay attention to rotation, and this season, Manchester City's two sets of lineups have played a lot of time.

On the other hand, the upgrade of the soccer card system has increased the number of card slots in Gao Bo to six!

In this way, Gao Bo almost uses physical fitness cards in every game, and even in order to cope with the coming of the European competition, Gao Bo even uses two physical fitness cards in one game.

Now Gao Bo will rarely change cards for specific opponents, because for Gao Bo, Manchester City itself is strong enough, as long as Manchester City plays the tactical level in training, Gao Bo believes that not many teams can win their own team.

Neither can Manchester United!

.....

Pep Guardiola envisioned everything before the game, but what he didn't expect was that the physical condition and fitness of Manchester City's players were far beyond Manchester United, and Manchester City was in very good shape at home today.

As a result, in the first ten minutes, Manchester City almost pressed Manchester United to attack!

The cheers at the scene were like ocean waves, wave after wave.

Every attack of Manchester City can cause a burst of wild cheers from the fans at the scene.

In such an atmosphere, Manchester City's attack is becoming more and more fierce!

"Manchester City completely took over the game! At the Etihad Stadium, Pep Guardiola's side are in an extremely passive situation!! ”

On the commentary bench, Lightkinson was also a little surprised by the scene of this game.

In all the pre-match predictions, it was assumed that this match would be a close one. Both sides played in the Champions League in midweek, and there was not enough rest time, and this game was so crucial, so in the pre-match analysis, many people thought that this game may not be too good.

But the current scene has disappointed many pre-match predictions!

The scene was very exciting!

Manchester City's continuous attacks have caused the atmosphere on the scene to enter the peak stage!

For Manchester United fans, Manchester United fans during this period are very tormented.

In the eleventh minute of the game, Manchester City's attack advanced to the front again!

Sanchez cuts inside to draw the defence and then pushes the ball down the middle!

Full-back Kieran Trippier got through the half, receiving a pass from Alexis Sanchez and shooting straight away!

The soccer ball roars towards the goal!

De Gea pounces sideways again!

The bottom line pops up after the soccer bat hits the post!

The huge cheers of the fans immediately turned into sighs of regret.

Trippier also holds his head in his hands.

He felt really good when the shot went out.

And just as he was about to celebrate, De Gea denied his goal!

"De Gea!! De Gea made another save!! ”

"If it weren't for David De Gea, Manchester United's goal would have been breached!"

"Manchester United's players are going to cheer up, they look very tired on the pitch, maybe because of the Champions League in midweek, but look at their opponents, Manchester City are also in the Champions League in midweek, but they don't show such fatigue!"

This goal also scared Guardiola!

Although he didn't know why he also played in the Champions League in midweek, City's players seemed to be playing chickens, and his players were inevitably showing fatigue.

But the result of those 10 minutes was enough to let Guardiola know that his team is now very dangerous!

The opponent is in very good form, and they are playing at home! Scrappy!

The other side must be contained!

How to curb it?

Pep Guardiola kept making a gesture on the sidelines.

Soon, Guardiola's instructions reached the pitch!

Speaking of which, there is nothing magical about Guardiola's strategy.

Now is not the time for the Community Shield, and now Manchester City's players are obviously in better form than Manchester United's players, so Guardiola does not dare to choose to attack at this time.

So United's tactics are simple.

Slow down the pace of the game as much as possible, and get it into a rhythm that Manchester United players are used to, and contain City's opening stages, which are now like a tidal wave.

The players also know that the squad is very dangerous at the moment.

They struggled to keep the ball under control, clearing the ball with a big foot when they couldn't do it, and then forcing City to slow down the tempo through layers of pressing.

Manchester United's tactical literacy is also quite high, and with their efforts, Manchester City's offensive has gradually slowed down.

Of course, there are also reasons why Manchester City themselves need to take a breather after attacking for a while.

Seeing this scene, Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief.

The most dangerous time passed, and when it was over, United would be able to free up their hands to attack.

Gao Bo frowned on the sidelines.

He didn't score in the first ten minutes, which made Gao Bo very regretful.

But football games can't be played in one rhythm either.

The players need to be relaxed and they need to take a breath on the pitch.

Gao Bo waved his arms on the sidelines, signaling the players to pass the ball, the opponent had already retracted, and the front court players lacked space to pass and sprint, so the best thing to do was to pass the ball and look for opportunities through constant passing.

And no one expected that when the tempo slowed down, Manchester City launched a classic positional attack.

Griezmann passed the ball forward to Hazard, Hazard passed back, Griezmann ran into place and pushed the ball to the ribs, Sanchez in the ribs received the ball and faked the real pass, and then passed it back to Hazard who received it in the penalty area!

Hazard hit a heel and Griezmann pressed into the box from outside the box, then slammed his heel to the right!

Continuous heel passes!

David Silva on the right appeared in time for the six-yard box!

"David Silva!!!!

In the roar of the narrator!

David Silva easily pushed the ball into the empty net!!

Manchester City put the ball into the net and De Gea had nothing to do this time!
