Chapter 516: Striking the West

What is Sterling doing in the middle?

Is he moving closer to Bell?

It was an unusual movement and almost everyone looked to Raheem Sterling and Bale.

The ball is passed out of Manchester United's backfield.

Whoosh –

Not to Bell, not to Bell.

It's the left side!

Ashley Young on the left quickly plugged in from the left! Everyone was deceived, and at this point the right side of Manchester City was empty, almost nothing.

When Ashley Young unloaded the ball, there was no one around to defend him.

One of the few places where Manchester United get the ball without any interference! Ashley Young stepped down the ball and slid into the United penalty area, slotting straight into the left.

John Stones rushed over to fill in as the damned Brazilian right-back Danilo also ran into the middle.

Now, all eyes are on Ashley Young, wondering what Ashley Young will do with the ball.

It's just that Walker, who was on the left side of Manchester City, stumbled and was rushed by Bale, even if Fernandes came to attack, it was too late!

The fast Bell himself is rushing up to outflank!

Ashley Young's left foot pulled out a powerful arc and sent the ball over!

It's not a pass, it's a draw!

He aimed at the back post and pumped the ball hard.

The guy who outflanked him was not Sanchez in the middle, because Sanchez was closely watched by Manchester United's central defenders and had no chance to move forward, and Ashley Young's pass was relatively far away from them.

Bell's speed is too fast, shoot the horse to arrive!

When he shot, no one was next to him, not because they didn't stare at him, but because they couldn't catch up.

He fired a foot into the far corner from the six-yard box. Yes, also a volley.

The ball was fierce and accurate, hanging straight into the far corner of the goal, and the Brazilian Ederson had nothing to do, neither leg was crossed, and the ball was already in the net.

“Goal!”

“Gooooooooooooal!“

"Goooooooooooooooooooal! "

"Gareth-Bell!"

'Manchester United did it through Gareth Bale that they scored, their tactics were quite weird, and there was no one at City to stop them.

"This tactic, if you have to find some words to describe it, is the Chinese king's country said 'sound east to attack west', pretending to attack on the right side, and constantly sending troops, the result is to play on the left side, when everyone puts their eyes back on the left side, the result is that the players on the right side kill again......"

Lineker excitedly explained that Manchester United's goal contains extremely rich tactics, not a simple goal, but full of wisdom.

So he added, "Against Manchester City, maybe only wisdom can beat them, only the most abundant tactics can make their defence messy, and obviously, they did ......"

At that moment, many old guys in front ......of the TV felt incredible, including those managers who worked tirelessly to beat Manchester City.

The old man Wenger seems to have discovered a new world, it turns out that he can still play Manchester City like this? Scoring goals is as simple as that?

But then he sighed again, Manchester United can, it doesn't mean that his Arsenal can play like this, it depends on the configuration of players on the field.

Moreover, it seems that such a goal-scoring tactical routine can only be played once, and if you play it again, Manchester City's players will not be fooled.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp thinks the same thing, but he seems to have understood it a little deeper.

Although tactics are only one-off, tactics are not dead, tactics should be alive, as long as the tactics are lived, then it is not a problem.

Klopp's mind was clearly faster than Wenger's, and he was already gesturing with his hand on his couch as he should be. A smile finally appeared on his face.

He is sure that the next time he faces Manchester City, he will play much easier than before.

However, his face instantly darkened.

Why did Mourinho come up with this tactic? Is his brain that smart? He has always been unhappy with Mourinho, and now he feels even more unlikely.

Someone must have told him, woo...... He really didn't want to admit it.

"It's incredible." Manchester United fans were a little incredulous, they in the stands, after a long silence before bursting into deafening cheers, although they were eager to win, but really did not know how to win Manchester City, years of facing the shadow of Manchester City, made their hearts even more unconvinced.

United are now ahead of Manchester City in Cardiff, and that's a joy to be.

Manchester City fans also found that this was the toughest game for Manchester City this season, and for the first time in the face of such a Manchester United team, they were nervous and unsure that their team could win Manchester United.

And this is the League Cup final!

It's been a long time since Manchester United fans have laughed at Manchester City fans, and they haven't seen Manchester City fans so depressed. Then they started provoking the City fans in the fan base.

"Hey, didn't you say you could win the League Cup?"

"Didn't you say to trample us to death immediately? Come on, come on! ”

"Yo, why are you falling behind?"

"Come on, come on, come on, don't cry, it's troublesome if you can't cry at the end of the game."

“……”

Manchester United fans are venting their feelings, it's been a long time since they've had this cool.

"Boom! The game is not over yet, you Manchester United don't rejoice so early, be careful of being slapped in the face! ”

"If the score is overtaken by Manchester City, it will be you who will cry. We Manchester City fans don't cry because the game has just started, and as long as you fans who can't afford to be frightened will think you've won when you see the first goal, and I tell you, that's what Liverpool fans thought at the beginning, and they all wanted to jump off Anfield in the end! You wait, wait, wait for Manchester City to come back! The Manchester City fan was full of confidence, and resolutely stood up in the stands and directly confronted the United fans.

The game resumed, and the two sides returned to a tense situation. City retreated. Leaving the space ahead to Manchester City, they look confident. Under the tutelage of manager Jose Mourinho, they are getting stronger and stronger.

Wang Dalong began to move forward, advancing his position by nearly a dozen meters.

At this time, with Wang Dalong's coming up, Manchester City's formation seemed to be changing, and soon, in Wang Dalong's opinion, there were more players in the middle of Manchester United. I don't know if Sanchez recycled it to make him feel that way again, and Bale seemed to be moving towards the middle.

"What's this trick again?" Guardiola frowned in the command area, fighting with Mourinho for more than ten years, and has never seen Mourinho's tactics so varied and played so many tricks on the field, the key is that this time Mourinho also completed the work and scored first.

If he loses this game, his reputation will be ruined, after all, he has Wang Dalong, who is known as the future world No. 1, in his hands. It's equivalent to having Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta in his hand back then, so that he can lose to Mourinho, but it's really unreasonable, it's a shame for him.

But now Mourinho is pretending to be a ghost again......

What a headache!

How could Mourinho have such a fancy thing before, isn't it just a move to defend? Now that the offense and defense are so slippery, no one in this world knows Mourinho better than him. It is said that he only has a three-plate axe, but in fact it is not that simple.

Now, how to break the formation?

Manchester City couldn't get in the first time, even if Wang Dalong came up. And Manchester United suddenly went against the norm and didn't like fouls!

Just let Wang Dalong pass it, let Wang Dalong take it, no matter how awesome Wang Dalong is, can he bring all the players on the field?

Of course, it is also a good thing for Wang Dalong, the other party does not dare to foul randomly, which does give him a chance to play, at least without worrying about injury.

But he rushed to Sterling with the ball!

These two World Cup enemies appeared in the same place.

But Sterling obviously didn't think about it, but followed Wang Dalong closely and didn't let Wang Dalong move forward.

It's just that Wang Dalong changed direction with a mouth ball and returned to the middle.

"It's a pity, I thought there would be some scene where Mars hit the earth, but it turned out to be nothing. And Manchester United's players did not play hard against the king, they still played with a very professional style. If it were me, though, I think I might have some selfishness, hehe. Lineker is fanning the flames.

Wang Dalong took the ball to the middle, Manchester United's Fellaini and others quickly blocked Wang Dalong's way, Wang Dalong pushed the ball directly to Fernandez, Fernandez shot a shot, and the ball flew into the stands.

This was the end of City's attack.

"It seems that if you want to crack the door of Manchester United, you have to find a way to write, this kind of attack has no effect, now Manchester United is leading together, they can defend with all their strength, it is enough to have Bale in front, Sterling and Sanchez can be used in the midfield, look at Bale, standing at the front, no one in Manchester City can ignore him, he is now around him, there are three more players surrounding him, his threat will definitely not be much worse than the king, only sweeping the equivalent of half a king."

Manchester United's goal kick was opened, the ball did not look for Bale, but went to the side, short passes, try not to lose the ball, when it comes to ball control, although it is not Manchester United's strong point, but as long as Manchester United does not pass the ball forward casually, they will not be far behind.

Moreover, Manchester City is not a team with a pressing style of play, the tactical style of play is different from other teams, they are used to possessing the ball on their own instead of pressing the opponent, so Manchester United still has a lot of passing space.

Gradually, United slowly pushed the ball up. It was only after the ball had passed City's half that City pressed.

This is also the least physically demanding way, otherwise if you press in the opponent's half, the physical consumption will be too great.

But Manchester City is obviously not in such a hurry, still patiently looking for the opponent's loopholes, they are forced but not grabbed, just rhythmically waiting for Manchester United to make a mistake.

But Manchester United didn't.

If Manchester City is not in a hurry, why should Manchester United be in a hurry?

Toot –

"Oops, the game was lethargic, and the first half was over?"

'Doesn't Pep Guardiola want his team to win the Carabao Cup? Why hasn't the offensive been launched yet? Slowly, wait until when? ”

"I don't understand, I really don't understand." Lineker yawned and looked genuinely unhappy with the game, "Manchester City fans are definitely disappointed, neither King nor the whole team has a strong desire to attack, it looks like they are ahead of Manchester United, not Manchester United ahead of them. “

The Manchester City fans in the stands are really uncomfortable, especially when they hear the team song of Manchester United fans in the field, although it is not at Wembley Stadium but at Cardiff Stadium at this time, their team song means that victory is beckoning to them, and Manchester City fans can only lie on the table and chair now, without any strength at all, only the winner can sing!

In the dressing room, Guardiola's brows were tightly locked, and he really couldn't find any awesome tactics to crack Manchester United's offensive and defensive system, and his final eyes only stayed on Wang Dalong.

No matter how good the tactics are, you have to rely on the players, and if the tactics don't work, then you can only look at the players, isn't it right to rely on Wang Dalong?

This season, Pep Guardiola has rarely even really thought about what tactics Manchester City will use, because with Wang Dalong and De Bruyne, the best midfielder and best striker in the world are here, do you need to think so much? Just like the principle in Barcelona back then, Barcelona has Barcelona's system, and Manchester City also has Manchester City's system, and what is most needed now is that Wang Dalong and De Bruyne hurry up and put this system into operation, as long as the system works......

So in the locker room, he didn't say much, just a word.

"This season, we still have nothing but the Community Shield, and now we have a League Cup winner, do you want it?"

In this sentence, it has been very clear to everyone, no matter what you are going to do today, as long as you still want to win a League Cup, then you will fight.

Yes, we don't have anything yet, only a Community Shield champion, not even a League Cup title, even if this season has the most beautiful stats, but if there is no glory, then what's the use of the good-looking stats?

They're not the Warriors, and they can't be a result like this.

Pep Guardiola's words worked, and it didn't take long for everyone to understand everything.

"Guys, it's time to send Manchester United to tears," Wang Dalong shouted before setting off.

"I'm going to go up and break down the gates of Manchester United!"

"The captain is going out!" Everyone's spirits were lifted, and they never had any hesitation about Wang Dalong. Although I don't know why Wang Dalong didn't rush up in the first half.

But now, they can have a lot more peace of mind......
