Chapter 676: Lock in the Victory!

Pep Guardiola's expression was serious, and he touched the shiny head.

Manchester United are in trouble now!

It's fine if it's only one goal behind, but if it's two goals behind, Guardiola may not be sure that he will be able to get it back.

He called Carrick to his side. Carrick has been hacked as an "invisible emperor" by many Manchester United fans, and in many of United's games, it seems that Carrick's presence is low.

Pep Guardiola admires a player like Michael Carrick, a midfielder with a very high ball quotient who may not receive the ball very often, but is always in a key position, and fans like to see the striker's dribbles and goals, or brilliant tackles and tackles, or a penetrating scalpel pass. None of that happens to Carrick, but with Carrick on the field, he can always create a better environment for his teammates to receive and pass the ball, and that's the value of a player like Carrick.

In fact, Carrick has played a lot of time this season, and he did not start Carrick in this game, largely because of the rhythm of the game.

Under such a fast pace, Carrick's weakness in movement and confrontation will be infinitely exposed, so the Archangels can only sit on the bench for the time being.

But now, Guardiola intends to step up his attack.

.......

"We're passive now, Michael!"

Pep Guardiola said, putting his arm around Carrick's shoulder.

Carrick nodded, knowing the manager couldn't just complain and let him play.

Sure enough, Guardiola still has to make some tactical adjustments.

'You're going to replace Rafael, we're going to play a back three, you go up and control the midfield with Luka and Thiago, it's your responsibility to receive and pass the ball and not lose the ball easily. Then, to put Paul a little bit further up the pitch, we need to play with his attacking qualities! ”

Pep Guardiola's adjustment is very simple, he did not change to a striker, but let Pogba go to the front court to participate more in the attack, and Carrick came on as a midfielder to make up for the lack of midfield after Pogba's position!

United made a quick substitution and Michael Carrick came on for full-back Rafael!

Gao Bo saw Manchester United's adjustment, so two minutes later, Manchester City also made a substitution!

Jamie Vardy is substituted and Barry comes off the bench!

When Vardy was substituted, the City fans in the stadium stood up and applauded Jamie Vardy for scoring a beautiful goal!

His barbed goal would be a classic in the Manchester derby, and with this goal alone, Vardy can be said to have completely established himself among Manchester City fans.

'Barry came on and replaced Jamie Vardy. With Gao Bo's substitution, how will Manchester City's formation change? Lightkinson said.

.......

Pep Guardiola is also watching Gao Bo's substitution.

Two minutes later, Guardiola's expression became more solemn, Gao Bo's substitution this time was very targeted, and he responded to his previous substitution!

After Barry came on the pitch, he and Casemiro formed a double midfield, and these two are the two gates in the midfield, holding key positions.

And where did Milner go?

Milner went to play right midfield!

After this substitution, Manchester City's formation became 4231!

The back line is not moving, the back is Casemiro plus Barry, the left wing-back David Silva, the forward Antoine Griezmann, the right wing-back Milner, the single striker Dzeko!

After Pep Guardiola made a change, Pogba was more involved in the attack, but he was still used to playing on the left side.

The left side of Manchester United's attacking direction is the right side of Manchester City's attacking direction!

So Gobo brought Milner to the right side to strengthen the defense on this side.

And the offense .... Manchester City are completely biased to the left, and Silva is on the side!

Guardiola's heart sank, and he began to realize that in this game, if Manchester United wanted to turn the tables, it was really too difficult...

However, he hasn't given up yet, his team has used a lot of attacking talent, and they still have a chance!

......

But Manchester City didn't give them a chance!

At this time, Manchester City has five players in the midfield, they firmly control the ball when attacking, and when defending, five midfielders are fully able to cover the entire midfield, especially the sweeping ability of the two defensive backs, which brings Manchester City a strong midfield interception ability!

Pogba failed to have the effect that Guardiola had hoped for, and United's attack was stuck after the substitutions!

On the other hand, Manchester City, after the change of formation, their attack seems to be smoother, and Manchester United only has three defenders left, which gives Manchester City more space!

Guardiola's substitution effect was not shown, but Manchester City's offensive after the substitution!

In the 63rd minute of the game, Kararov crossed from the side, Dzeko scored with a header in the penalty area, and was saved by De Gea!

Three minutes later, Manchester City's attack threatened Manchester United's goal again, David Silva and Griezmann completed the combination at the edge of the penalty area, Griezmann faked the shot and turned the ball to the right, Milner came up with a kick, but the shot was too positive, blocked by De Gea's chest, and then hugged into his arms!

"Manchester United have been very passive during this time!!"

The commentators have seen the situation of Manchester United now!

"They could concede a fifth goal at any moment!!"

"If we fall behind in the third autumn, Manchester United will lose this game!!"

Just as everyone was talking, the boots finally fell to the ground and the fifth goal came!

Manchester City made a few passes up front, and finally Griezmann gave Barry a shot!

Barry still has a long-range shot, which is a common characteristic of England midfielders, with strong physique, good fitness, strong defensive activism, and good long-range shots.

Like Frank Lampard and Steven Gerrard, these are the two quintessential England midfielders, who are almost at the pinnacle of this type of midfield.

Barry's long-range shot is powerful!

De Gea was equally impressive, almost flying through the air and keeping out Barry's powerful long-range shot with one arm.

But I blocked the first one, and I couldn't block the second!

Antoine Griezmann's clever toe stab in the box and the goal behind De Gea was breached for the fifth time!!

Griezmann!! Griezmann!! He scored his second goal in the Manchester derby, scoring twice!! ”

"Manchester City lead Manchester United 5-2 !!"

"Five to two!! The victory is already secure!! Manchester City locked the victory in a safe!! They beat Manchester United and are in a good position for the long season of the title!! ”
