Chapter Twenty-Nine: The King as Always

"The best way to beat your opponent is to attack!"

'Neither Manchester United nor Manchester City, they don't want a draw, both sides want to get three points in this game, Ferguson wants to get three points and close the gap with Manchester City, Manchester City wants to beat Manchester United to open the gap.

Manchester City kicked off first, but after Messi got the ball, he was quickly cut down by Schweinsteiger and Schneiderlin, and the referee did not have a deck, but only verbally warned Schweinsteiger, and it seemed that the referee's blowing penalty was more lenient.

"Well done,"

"Well done."

Manchester United fans chanted from the stands, applauding Schweinsteiger. It is better to foul Messi down than to let Messi rush over. Before Messi got up, Yaya Toure, the big guy, immediately rushed over and put himself in front of Schweinsteiger, looking like he was going to be stunned, but the German was not stage frightened at all, and pushed back with his chest. But even so, the referee forcibly separated them. This is a normal confrontation in the derby, and there will be no stage fright on either side.

Messi stands up and serves quickly!

Raheem Sterling cut in from the left and got on the ball quickly.

This scene is too sudden, the Manchester United players are still a little confused, and they have no time to stop Sterling, Sterling actually stabbed alone, because the referee played the card, such a sneak attack is allowed, and if you watch Messi play too much, you will find that this situation is quite common, and the sneak attack was successful!

Sterling took the ball to face De Gea, De Gea wanted to cry without tears, but he still rushed out bravely, and then pounced at Sterling's feet, Sterling tried to go sideways to the right, but hesitated slightly, De Gea's left hand still slapped the ball, the ball bounced off Sterling's feet, rolled to Jones's feet, Jones was shocked, directly a big foot cleared out, where dare to stick the ball!

"Oh! Manchester United almost conceded the goal, Messi was too cunning, while everyone was still arguing, he suddenly drove the ball out. It's a pity that Sterling is not angry, this kind of single ball is not sure of me, but I can't blame Sterling, this is his regular operation, after all, the lower the difficulty of the ball, the more he can't score, the more difficult the goal, maybe he will score easily. Lineker immediately blacked Sterling, he didn't look favorably on Sterling, the main striker of the national team has never been reliable.

"If this ball had been picked up by Aguero, it would have gone in, but it's a pity that Aguero was helping by Messi's side just now."

Manchester United narrowly escaped the catastrophe, and Dong Fangzhuo glanced at Messi, of course he was familiar with this scene, he had been done by Messi before, but then Dong Fangzhuo also got it back......

Manchester United took back the ball and reversed the ball in the midfield, Manchester City did not press too high, basically started to press near the middle line, after all, there is only one Dong Fangzhuo in front, Dong Fangzhuo is surrounded by Demichelis and Mangala staring, there is Yaya Toure in front, it is not so easy to pass the ball to Dong Fangzhuo, and Dong Fangzhuo did not retreat, he is at the front to pull the Manchester City defense, especially Yaya Toure, this highly aggressive veteran is the hub of offensive and defensive conversion.

United eventually played the ball down the right and Juan Mata tried to pull the ball to the back post through Dong Fangzhuo, but Di Maria couldn't catch the penalty and the ball was headed off the touchline by Sagna. It's still Manchester United's possession. Luke Shaw tried to throw a depth charge directly to find Dong Fangzhuo in the big penalty area, but after the ball fell into the penalty area, Dong Fangzhuo was surrounded and sturdy, and he couldn't touch the ball at all, and Yaya Toure pushed the ball out in front of him.

Messi is quite active, got the ball in front of the big penalty area, and then cleverly pulled and buckled, he got rid of Blind's entanglement, poof, he dribbled the ball and killed it, Aguero and Sterling opened up space for him on both sides, took Schneider and flew over, but Messi accelerated again, dodged lightly, and still rushed forward with the ball!

"Beautiful!"

"Messi!"

Thousands of miles to ride alone, Messi is as fierce as a tiger. No one could stop him. At the critical moment, Messi just rushed past the midfield, and Schneiderlin rushed from the side and back with all his strength, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he directly shoveled down from the side. This kick is quite impulsive, and if you don't pay attention to it, it will directly shovel Messi's feet, but if he is not sure, he probably won't dare to do it. Long legs! His right foot still touched the ball, but Messi also fell at the same time.

Beep

The whistle blew again, despite the tackle, but the referee still awarded Schneiderlin a foul and gave a yellow card, Messi rolled on the ground for a long time this time before he got up, maybe he knew that Schneiderlin would definitely get a card when he did this, as the man who was tackled the most every week on the planet, he has more experience in this area than any player.

After successfully getting Schneiderlin to get a yellow card, this time Messi couldn't sneak attack successfully. Manchester United did not protest either, everyone knew what was going on with this foul, everyone immediately retreated, and Manchester City could no longer be allowed to sneak attack, who knows what kind of set-pieces Manchester City would play, Ferguson's shouting on the sidelines was clearly visible.

Manchester City's offense turned into a positional battle, Messi's periphery is always the most important, after taking the forward Silva to take the ball, but to Aguero sent a straight stopper, Smalling almost didn't follow, Aguero received the ball directly a heel pullback, Smalling stumbled and lost his center of gravity, fortunately Schweinsteiger was in time to block Aguero outside, it was difficult for Aguero to make a move, because the Manchester United players came back, and as a last resort, Aguero was like in the national team, habitually handing the ball to Messi, Picked up Schneiderlin and broke the ball in front of Messi.

Playing around Messi is like this, everyone knows that he will pass the ball to Messi, and the best way is to cut the ball off before it reaches Messi's feet, but often this kind of time is hard to come by.

After Schneiderlin took a step, he immediately handed the ball to Di Maria on the left side, Di Maria faced Fernandinho, first shook his ankle slightly, and then suddenly accelerated to the outside, Fernandinho couldn't keep up directly, it was so rough to use the speed to second Fernandinho, and when Sagna just came up, Di Maria directly accelerated and cut inward, not giving Sagna a chance to be tight at all, at the same time, Dong Fangzhuo quickly approached Di Maria, trying to close the distance with him, Manchester City's defense immediately moved, Di Maria suddenly kicked a cross!

The ball is at the feet of Mata! Mata Zaisg! Jesse Lingard stepped in and fired a right-footed volley into the near corner.

Boom –

A perfect anti-aircraft gun. The shot was outrageous and a good continuation of the England international's tradition of shooting.

"Oh, Lingard, and Sterling are a perfect pair, alas, this shot is not as good as my husky." Lineker almost burst out laughing, and both Sterling and Lingard were laughed at by him.

The United fans in the stands covered their faces and didn't dare to compliment Lingard's shot, which was okay and hardworking, but the shot was terrible.

Both sides conceded a good shot on goal.

After that, the two sides were silent for more than two minutes, and then Manchester City attacked by Messi, Messi took the ball in the middle, and after a quick one-two with Spain international Silva, he immediately stuffed it forward behind Valencia, Sterling broke into the box at high speed on the left and crossed, Aguero shook off Smalling, stopped the ball on the chest in the middle and volleyed a left-footed volley wide. Manchester City once again missed a great opportunity.

Both sides played very patiently and tried to play with a success rate in attack. Although Manchester United hoarded five midfielders in the midfield, but gradually lost momentum, began to focus on defense, but Manchester City is also difficult to surpass Manchester United's defense, Dong Fangzhuo rarely comes back to get the ball, the midfield scramble is very intense, in just fifteen minutes, Manchester United has contributed eight fouls, the foul rate is already very high, and Manchester City is only three times, this comparison, you can see Manchester United's technical disadvantage.

Messi tried to break through with the ball in the middle several times but was brought down, and the foul site was far away from the goal, so it was difficult to form a direct attack. Until the 18th minute, Messi took the ball in the middle to attract the defense of three players, and then gave the autumn equinox to Sterling at the first time, Sterling made the ball with his heel, Silva crossed from the left, the ball found Aguero again, Aguero's powerful low shot at the far point was blocked by De Gea with his foot!

It didn't take long for City to play a quality group attack, which made United's defence look unreliable at all.

Manchester City were awarded the first corner of the game.

Silva then whipped in a corner from the right and Fernandinho headed it high......

'City are showing their home advantage, they didn't show that dominance last year, but this year against Manchester United they played really well, Raheem Sterling couldn't shoot but he still played a big role in the side-playing.

Lineker still affirmed Sterling's role and pointed out that Manchester City has made great progress, but he gave the credit to Messi, "Of course, if there is no Messi on the field, such an attack is difficult to play, Messi alone can attract several players to defend, which will make Manchester United's defense look empty, in order to beat Dong, he made a lot of sacrifices today, although he still occupies the forward spot, but in fact he often comes back to play in the midfield, tandem with the team." Messi, who doesn't score, is also very scary. Maybe in order to win, he will sacrifice the chances of scoring and become a team-mate. ”

Gradually, Lineker also became obsessed with Messi.

Manchester United counterattacked, Dong Fangzhuo finally protected the ball at his feet near the halfway line, Demichelis tried to squeeze Dong Fangzhuo from behind, trying to make Dong Fangzhuo lose his body balance, but he couldn't squeeze at all, but when he squeezed, Dong Fangzhuo pulled the ball lightly, half turned around and turned half a circle from his right side, Demichelis lost his balance instead, and when another central defender Mangala pounced, Dong Fangzhuo was like a loach half to the left more than a meter, and his right foot was dashing, and he also avoided the siege of Mangala.

syllable

He elegantly sent the ball to the left, Di Maria tacitly came up, followed by Sania, Sania tried to jam Di Maria's position with his physical advantage, but Di Maria took the lead in stretching out his right foot and poked, the person staggered twice and stood up straight again, and continued to rush to the ball!

Di Maria catches up with the ball on the left flank! But Yaya Toure, who rushed back to defend with a meteor in stride, quickly blocked the inside and forced him to rush to the bottom line with the ball all the way, and on the other side, Dong Fangzhuo and Lingard rushed to the Manchester City team's big penalty area at the same time. Now the only option is for Di Maria to be able to get rid of Yaya Toure's entanglement.

The ball was at Di Maria's left foot, the left foot shook slightly, the inside of the foot controlled the ball, and suddenly it became an outside instep push, the ball actually drilled under Yaya Toure's crotch, the tall Yaya Toure reacted definitely not as well as Yaya Toure, and Di Maria bypassed the other side and got the ball again. Fortunately, the Saña had rushed back and stood on the flank of the big penalty area again.

syllable

Di Maria passed the ball back to Dong Fangzhuo. Dong Fangzhuo and Fernandinho rushed to the ball at the same time, but they suddenly turned half of their bodies, stood in the position first, and let Fernandinho pass, Fernandinho didn't expect Dong Fangzhuo to play like this, the whole person lost control, and could only fall in front of Dong Fangzhuo, at this time, Dong Fangzhuo turned a Marseille spin, directly turned a 270-degree rotation, and pulled the ball to him again.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Demichelis, and without giving Demichelis time to think, Dong Fangzhuo immediately accelerated to the right, and the angle of the shot came out in an instant. He immediately got up and fired into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Smack-

The ball flew past the right side of Mangala, another centre-back. That's why he played on the right side, because he wanted to block goalkeeper Hart's view with Mangala's body.

When Hart reacted, he was half a beat slower, and when he fell, the ball had already flown into the goal.

“goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

“DFgoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

'Manchester United are 1-0 up at the Etihad Stadium.'

"It's a tragedy, Manchester City, which has a more dominant attack, is behind, they have played many wonderful combinations before, but they just didn't score, but on Manchester United's side, it was still King Dong who took the lead in the attack and scored the goal himself. He was invincible in front of the big penalty area. ”

"You don't need any fancy combination, you just need to find a way to get the ball to his feet in front of the penalty area and it makes it easier to score goals......

Ittihad fell silent for a moment, and then erupted in deafening applause.

After the goal, Dong Fangzhuo rushed to the stands of Manchester United fans, lowered his head and kissed the Manchester United team emblem deeply, and then threw a flying kiss to Manchester United fans......

As always, he was still the same king.
