Demichelis's poor performance on the field made Pellegrini, who was originally very tolerant of him, unbearable. Shortly after Caballero replaced Joe Hart, Pellegrini replaced Demichelis with Bernie.

This substitution was City's last substitution of the game, and at this time, the game was only 52 minutes into play!

In fact, if you exclude the time when Joe Hart was injured and replaced, the real game time was only 467 minutes.

Pellegrini's substitution, in addition to replacing Demichelis, who was a disaster today, also conveyed a message to the players, that is, counterattack!

After all, having been poured four by their rivals at home, if they can't score a goal and save some face, the home fans will really rebel.

For Pellegrini's substitution, everyone's interpretation is: Chilean engineers are going to fight for their lives!

Indeed, replacing a striker with a centre-back is not only a dissatisfaction with Demichelis, a player who is not willing to pay for his life, but Pellegrini also intends to give it a go.

………………

In fact, Pellegrini's substitution also played a big role.

Although their defence has weakened, what City need at the moment is not to defend, but to attack. Anyway, they've already conceded four goals, what's the use of defending? It's better to go out and try to score. As for whether the defense will concede the ball, let it be!

After Bernie came on the pitch, he conveyed Pellegrini's adjustment order. The Manchester City players then closely marked and pressed the Manchester United players.

Needless to say, the quality of Manchester City's players is definitely the best in the Premier League and even today's football, and the reason why the first half was so bad is that in addition to the defensive line being too bad, there are also problems with the attitude of other players.

After all, Pellegrini is going to leave class after the season, and everyone doesn't have much heart to play for him, and they are all thinking about how to find a place under Guawazi, but they have already determined that there is no place under Guawazi, and their minds are also looking for their next home.

For various reasons, the first half was like a disaster, and the result was that it was spent by the united Manchester United.

Now, Pellegrini is furious: You bastards, don't think about what will happen in a few months now, if you don't solve today's affairs for Lao Tzu, believe it or not, I will mess you up first?!

The so-called not afraid of the county officials is afraid of the current management, Manchester City's current head coach is still Pellegrini after all, his orders, the players have to listen, otherwise they will not be able to play from now on, and after being refrigerated for a few months, God knows what the state will be like, let alone find a place in the hands of Guawazi, or find a satisfactory next home.

Therefore, after correcting their attitudes, the performance of Manchester City's players has also returned to a normal level, not only not only not on the field, but even faintly suppressing Manchester United.

………………

Van Gaal saw that the situation was not right, and immediately made adjustments, and in the 62nd minute of the game, he replaced Rojo, who had some minor injuries with Valencia, and at the same time strengthened his counterattack ability, he also came in hand.

However, during this period, the situation of Manchester United on the pitch is still not optimistic.

Because strictly speaking, Manchester City are stronger than Manchester United on paper, and if they return to normal, they will naturally have stronger strength than Manchester United.

City came close to equalising in the 66th minute when Yaya Toure crossed from the right and Sergio Aguero hit the post with a header.

Aguero's strike drew cheers from more than 40,000 fans at home. However, when the ball bounced back on the post with a "poof", the Etihad Stadium sighed again.

Rashford has been closely watched during this time, not only is he accompanied by a personal bodyguard at all times, but there are also people coming to help him at any time. Once he got the ball, the Manchester City players no longer gave him time and space like they did in the first half, but immediately clung to him from behind and kept pushing him behind him, which gave Rashford goosebumps: Nima, are you trying to get a base? Young Master Ben is not good at this mouthful!

When big men like Yaya Toure, Manchester City and Mangala were closely eyeing Rashford, his relatively thin body was highlighted. It's hard for him to be comfortable with the ball, let alone turn and attack. For the ball passed to him by his teammates, many times he can only choose to knock it back to his teammates immediately.

For a while, Rashford was completely limited by Manchester City and did not find an opportunity to threaten Manchester City's goal.

………………

Manchester City were heavily targeted at Marcus Rashford, and Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard were emptied. Anthony Martial and Jesse Jesse did take advantage of the opportunity to strike at City's goal on a couple of occasions.

However, the two were in average form today, in a one-on-one situation, they were unable to suppress the defenders of Sagna and Klich, although there were one or two shots on goal, but they did not pose a threat to Manchester City's goal at all.

As a result, Manchester City's players are even more unscrupulous in focusing on Rashford.

In this regard, Rashford was depressed and wanted to vomit blood: Little Brother Ma, Xiao Linzi, can you give some strength and help attract some firepower? Little brother can't stand it!

Marcus Rashford did feel some difficulty, both because of the pressure on him from City's defence and because he was at the limit of his physical strength.

In less than a month since his first start against Jutterland, 24 days to be exact, it was his eighth high-intensity game.

Even if Rashford's physical strength has improved greatly compared to before, even if Rashford is young and resilient, playing so many games in such a short period of time is still a huge test of his physical strength.

This game is even more so, don't look at the first half he scored four goals for Manchester City, but he also paid a lot of physical exertion. In the second half, he encountered a high-intensity physical confrontation, and the physical exertion was even greater.

However, it was not Marcus Rashford who first suffered a physical crisis, but striker Juan Mata. Uncle Mata's physical strength is not very good, and today he is the brain of the team, and the pressure is just as great.

Therefore, in the 70th minute of the game, it was already unbearable, and was replaced by Van Gaal with Piggy Schweinsteiger.

Shortly after Mata was replaced, Darmian suffered another fitness crisis. Pasta has not played many games recently, which caused him to not be in good shape, and the intensity of today's game was relatively high, so soon after Mata was replaced, Darmian suffered cramps twice, and as a last resort, Van Gaal could only replace him with teenager Fwsúmensa in the 83rd minute of the game.

Marcus Rashford shook his head, and it seemed that he had to stick with the game.
