Chapter 31 Bloodless Soldiers
Is there still time?
Manchester City fans can't help but ask.
Falling behind by two goals, I wouldn't even think about this result before the game, but the 0:2 score was so winkling on the big screen.
"Ah, damn it!"
"I can't stand it!"
"It's time for Messi to stand up, and if he doesn't stand up, Manchester City will lose."
Accustomed to Messi scoring time and time again, bringing victory to Manchester City. This most crucial battle, if Messi can't do it, then it will be too disappointing.
"What's the use of you being usually strong, but you lost to Dong again at a critical moment!"
"Score, teammates don't give it, you go and score yourself."
In fact, Messi has played very well, but if he doesn't score, Manchester City fans are not happy with him. Who called your name Messi?
Messi himself is depressed, he doesn't want to, he wants to win the game more than anyone else, he has done his best.
He worked harder than anyone else.
'Manchester City actually played very well, even better than Manchester United, but it turned out to be quite brutal and they are now two goals behind. With about 15 minutes left in the game, it will not be easy for Manchester City to equalise, in this situation, King Dong can score two goals, and if Manchester City are out of the nest, the defense will definitely be quite empty......
Now that the game has been played, everyone has finally seen that the truth is not what they imagined, and Manchester City won the game. 2:0 told everyone that even a bad ship has three pounds of nails, in the Premier League, it is not the dominant team that can win the game, and there are often many factors that determine the game, especially the decisive factors.
And the decisive factor for Manchester United is Dong Fangzhuo. Ferguson just asked his disciple to pass the ball to him, and then let Dong Fangzhuo solve the problem with the goal. Dong Fangzhuo did it, and so did his teammates.
Now that United are going all out defensively, it won't be easy for City to score two goals in a row.
In the 78th minute, Aguero fell in the big penalty area of Manchester United, and he got up and immediately protested with the referee, because the referee did not say anything.
Messi also ran over with his other teammates, surrounded the referee, and tried to ask for a penalty to put pressure on the referee.
But this is not La Liga, but the Premier League......
Of course, their approach did not succeed, but wasted more than a minute of their time.
Ferguson started making substitutions, replacing Jesse Lingard with Mbappe.
Mbappe has speed, if he comes up at this time, it will be a huge threat to Manchester City's defense, and Dong Fangzhuo can also retreat to organize with peace of mind.
"Manchester City is finished." Lineker concluded.
"Manchester United at this time is no longer Manchester United at the beginning of the season, and after the game, the gap between Manchester United and Manchester City will be narrowed to one point."
Manchester City's players became anxious, while Manchester United held steady in central midfield.
In the 83rd minute, Dong Fangzhuo sent a through ball in the middle, Mbappe got the ball, and Yaya Toure put down Mbappe with a foul, Yaya Toure got a yellow card, he can't foul him, if Mbappe rushes up, he can't stop it at all, and it is estimated that the guy behind him can't either.
However, United did not make the most of the set-piece opportunity, and Juan Mata took the ball too hard to pass it directly off the line.
Messi still didn't give up, retreated to the big penalty area to get the ball, and then hit the wall with Silva in a row, and finally he handed the ball to Aguero, who quickly went to the right and immediately forced his feet.
However, the tried and tested De Gea easily held the ball in his arms and gave Aguero no chance. Manchester United wanted to fight back again, but unfortunately Dong Fangzhuo and Mbappe were full of people, and they could only turn to positional battles.
Schneiderlin began to control the tempo of the game at the back and did not rush to pass the ball, anyway, with a two-goal lead, he couldn't afford to fight Manchester City in the frontcourt.
Finally, the game came to the 90th minute, and the fourth official's timing board only gave 3 minutes.
Manchester United fans finally went crazy, and they sang the Manchester United team song on the pitch, and the loud team song was so disgusting and harsh to the ears of Manchester City fans.
It's a shame to listen to Manchester United at the Etihad.
In the face of the provocation of Manchester United fans, Manchester City fans were furious, and if it weren't for the strong security forces on the scene, the two sides would definitely fight. But if you walk out of the Etihad Stadium after the game, maybe you will have to fight, which year's derby will not be dry? Many people are already ready to move, and they can't win the game anyway, so it's better to have a good fight......
In the end, United managed to consume those last three minutes. They won 3-0 here in the first half of the year, and this season they won 2-0 to take away one as well.
They used this battle to prove that they are still Manchester United! Although Manchester City is at the top of the table, they still can't beat Manchester United, so what about Messi? The same is not to win them.
The camera is aimed at Messi, exactly the same as before, Messi walked off the field with his head drooping, Aqui** sat on the turf and buried his head deeply, and the others were also listless.
Coach Pep Guardiola was the most depressed, squatting on the turf and holding his chin in his hands. When Ferguson came over to shake his hand, he was more like he was squatting on the toilet.
After standing up, he didn't rub his buttocks with the palm of his hand......
At the press conference, Ferguson could finally laugh out loud.
"We have shown by our actions that we are still favourable contenders for the title. We have 33 points, just one point off Manchester City. Now look at Chelsea and Liverpool if they can take all three points. ”
"We actually got 10 wins and three draws, which is pretty remarkable. The three draws at the start of the season had left us in the dark for so many, but we now look back and realize that United have nothing to lose, just been blinded. ”
Ferguson speaks with results, although it was true that he was anxious because of consecutive draws before, but now looking at these three draws, it is nothing. And the critics certainly have nothing to say this week, Manchester United have won against leaders Manchester City, is that not enough?
However, there are also London reporters who believe that Manchester United just won by luck.
"Sir, if Man City had taken their chances, Manchester United would not have won this at all, the shot stats in this game were 25 to 7, and Man City had three times as many as yours."
"What does this prove? Prove your luck? Why not prove that Manchester City are playing poorly? With 25 shots on goal, is our offense a hit? If we were given 25 shots, what do you think the score would be? I think it's going to be 6-0 and you can't take the opportunity to score in the game, so it's not your luck, you can only blame your shooting skills......"
Ferguson can finally do it again.
