3.016 Derby to decide the winner

Tottenham did not disappoint Lee as they drew at home to Manchester United, and now Manchester City are finally in the standings alone, although United have two games to play, but the table is the table. Next, what Lee Seungfeng has to do is to lead the Manchester City team to continue to win.

However, people are not machines after all, and there will always be all kinds of accidents. In the 24th round of the league, Manchester United's match was played early, and they beat Birmingham City 5:O at home, and once again surpassed Manchester City by one point in the standings. In the ensuing game, the Manchester City players were unable to withstand the pressure and drew away to Aston Villa.

After all, he still lacks the experience of competing for the championship, Li Chengfeng looked at the score of 1:1 on the scoreboard and sighed. In the face of huge pressure to win, there are not many players who can fully swing, especially when they are behind, and their impatient performance is even more unbearable.

The goal leading for Villa was Lee Seung-peak's old subordinate, Dalen Bent, who had just moved to Aston Villa from Sunderland this winter, and stabbed Lee in his first game for his new club. In the first half of the season, when he was still at Sunderland, it was his last-minute goal that caused Lee Seung-bong's Manchester City to suffer their first league defeat, and now at Villa, it turned out to be him, and he really could score.

Fortunately, there were still more than 7o minutes left for Manchester City this time, and then Manchester City began to bombard Aston Villa's half, but did not score a goal, and their defense was very tenacious.

In the second half, Manchester City continued to attack, but as time went on, they became impatient, and the pressure to win made them change their style of play, and began to rely on individual ability to play alone, but it was easier to defend, and even Dzeko was too anxious to block Yaya Toure's shot.

A change had to be made, and Lee Seung-bong replaced Vidal and Modric with Reus and Milner in quick succession, and he asked Reus to control the tempo, slow down and let the players calm down.

Reuss' introduction changed the way the game was played, as he frequently used his technique to break through the ribs and create a threat, and the Villa had to use fouls to stop him, giving City a number of well-placed set-pieces. It's a pity that today's Manchester City players didn't wear shooting boots and missed one equaliser after another.

City didn't equalise until the 83rd minute, when Toure's long-range shot hit Villa defender Clarke and flew into the Villa goal.

Manchester City, who equalised, still did not give up, trying to win the game in the final time, but in the end they were not successful. There is too little time left, and in the face of the tenacious Aston Villa and the explosive goalkeeper Friedel in this game, Lee Seung-peak can only swallow the result of the draw.

Manchester United and Manchester City are now level on points, still Manchester United first, Manchester City second, the same as a few rounds ago. However, 3 days later, Manchester United has a make-up game, the opponent is Blackpool in the relegation zone, Li Chengfeng does not have expectations, the only good news is that Manchester United is away, their away results this season are very bad, behaving like a relegation team, maybe this is Li Chengfeng's only hope.

However, the result of the game disappointed Lee Seungfeng, Manchester United did not perform well on the road, but they still won the game, the score of 2:1 was not good, but it was enough. Now with United three points ahead of the table, City have another mountain to climb.

The rest of the fixtures are multi-front, with Manchester United having a league, Champions League and FA Cup to play, and Manchester City also having a league, FA Cup and Europa League. City's advantage is that they have enough depth on the bench to face such a multi-line battle, but United's title experience should not be underestimated, and a small gap in detail may determine the final result.

The impact of United's bench depth soon exploded again as they lost 2-1 away at relegation rivals Wolves, while City beat West Brom 3-O at home thanks to Carlos Tevez's hat-trick to once again level United at the top of the table.

The league chase between the two teams is heating up, and the next league game is a direct meeting between the two sides, with Manchester United taking on Manchester City at home. Perhaps this is the most important league game of the season, and the winner is the English champions of the season.

In this game, Li Chengfeng rehearsed many times in advance, and in response to Manchester United's lack of physical disadvantage, he set a proposed tactic for Manchester City. While this is something United are good at, Lee Seung-bong couldn't think of a better way. Manchester United and Manchester City have a half-hearted lineup, maybe Manchester City is better, but the good is limited, especially the absence of Vidal and Bale has narrowed the gap between the two sides. Moreover, Manchester United's players have been working together for a longer time and have more tacit understanding, which is incomparable to Manchester City, which has only been running in for most of the season. Add to that the home factor, and it's even more difficult for City to win. In contrast, taking advantage of United's lack of depth and fitness issues due to a busy schedule is the best option.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester United kicked off first, and they also played very directly, just 12 seconds, Nani hit Zabaleta and flew off the bottom line.

Manchester City quickly changed colors, in the 5th minute, Yaya Toure crossed on the right, Tevez went straight to the right side of the penalty area, Silva took the ball and cut in to face Van der Sar from a small angle, and the ball flew out against the far post!

Manchester United wants to use the opening players to open the situation as soon as possible when they are full of energy, while Manchester City hopes to exhaust Manchester United's physical strength and finally win the game, so the game is under the tacit understanding of the two teams, the rhythm is very fast, the offensive and defensive conversion is very fast, one side of the attack is not a minute, the other side can respond, the game is very tense and exciting, and even the game commentary is a little unable to keep up with the rhythm of the game between the two sides.

In the 41st minute of the game, the balance on the field was broken, Manchester City's attack had just ended, Van der Sar got the ball and passed a long pass from the backfield, Rooney headed the ball in front of the ferry, Giggs took the ball straight through, Nani shook off Zabaleta to the penalty area line to push the goal! The whole goal process lasted only ten seconds, and the game commentator was still praising Manchester City's attack, and Manchester United broke through Manchester City's goal before the words fell, such a rhythm made the viewers feel breathless.

At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Manchester City 1-O, which was expected by Lee Seungfeng before the game, and he will not change the team's established tactics, and in the second half Manchester City will still insist on an open attack, allowing the Manchester United to run along and squeeze their last trace of energy.

At the start of the second half, there were no substitutions between the two sides, but United strengthened their defence, and they narrowed their formation, which not only made it easier to defend, but also reduced the amount of running and physical exertion.

How could Lee Seung-peak let Ferguson get his way, he immediately replaced Silva with Reus, trying to use his skills to increase the breakthrough in dangerous areas and break down Manchester United's defensive formation.

Lee's tweaks paid off, with City winning several set-pieces in quick succession, and although they have yet to break through the Manchester United goal, Lee has a hunch that the goal will come soon. However, the accident happened again, and Milner strained his thigh on the field, and Lee Seung-peak chose to use Dzeko on the field, wanting to use his header advantage to amplify the effect of Manchester City's set-pieces.

In the 65th minute, Reus forced a cross from the left, Dzeko made a right-footed volley sideways in front of the small penalty area, and the ball hit Tevez's back and flew into the far corner! Manchester City equalized 1-1!

Seeing this goal, Li Chengfeng excitedly rushed out of the coach's seat and raised his hands in celebration. But just an equaliser doesn't make him satisfied, he wants to win. Lee Seung-peak gestured on the sidelines, signaling Manchester City to keep attacking and not give up.

The fitness of the Manchester United players is indeed lacking, and their running is no longer as active as it was at the beginning, especially the old guys, who can only stop the attack of the Manchester City players by fouling. Ferguson began to make substitutions, replacing Paul Scholes and Anderson with Carrick and Berbatov in quick succession, maintaining the ability to run in midfield and never allowing City to control the midfield.

In the 67th minute, Silva took a free-kick from the right, Vidic rose to the top, and the usually stable Vidic made a serious mistake and cut in Tevez's header. The ball is in! 2:1!! Manchester City reversed the score!!

The Manchester City players were so excited that they celebrated wildly, as if they saw the champions beckoning to them. Even the always calm Lee Chengfeng is not exempt from vulgarity, forgetting that the opponent is Manchester United, Ferguson's Manchester United, and Manchester United who will never admit defeat.

There is a statistic that in football, the easiest time to concede a goal, in addition to the first few minutes of the first and second halves, is the most likely to concede a goal in the minutes after the goal, no matter which side, the change in mentality is the most fatal. The Manchester City people were too happy, the game was far from over, and while the Manchester City players were still immersed in the excitement of the counter-score, Manchester United attacked wildly, catching the Manchester City people by surprise.

In the 71st minute, Rooney's volley from the top of the arc was blocked by Barry and did not hit the power. In the 73rd minute, Nani fired a left-footed shot high in front of the three-man penalty area. In the 78th minute, Nani's cross from the right hit Zabaleta and changed the line slightly, and Rooney hit the ball into the corner with a reverse hook in front of the goal! Manchester United equalised.

Li Chengfeng was very annoyed, this conceded goal should not have happened, if it wasn't for the lack of concentration of the players on the field after scoring, Manchester United would not have gotten such an opportunity at all. However, there are more than ten minutes left in the game, and Manchester City still have a chance.

United's goal also restored composure to the City players, who went on the offensive again, with Lee Seungfeng also replacing Luka Modric with Phillips. There is not much time left, and there is no room for Manchester City to organise more calmly, and it is better to be more direct than a simple and violent wide cross.

However, the Reds were tenacious and their all-out late defence made City's attack useless. In the end, the end of the game did not change the score on the field, and the two teams could only end in a 2-2 draw.
