Chapter 515: The Battle at the Peak

In the face of such a Manchester United, Wang Dalong did not immediately press up, but chose to stay behind. Let's let yourself rush and see what the situation is?

Manchester United must have been ready for this game and they can't afford to fight an unprepared war like other teams.

It's a Mourinho side who can't possibly stay where they stand after losing their opening game of the season. And that lost game was against Manchester City.

In the stands, the sea of red was shouting wildly, and the deafening sound penetrated Wang Dalong's ears, filling his heartbeat at a speed of 100 decibels. It was he who felt the madness of the scene.

This is Old Trafford, not Ilihad, he told himself. Compared to the first time, this time he felt it more intensely.

Teammate Kevin De Bruyne dribbled the ball on the right, but the ball just ran a step at his feet. De Bruyne immediately went down, the United players did not give him such a chance, and Ashley Young immediately brought him down.

Such confrontations are pure, and the fouls are straightforward. The referee didn't say anything and it was a normal tactical foul.

City's first attack came to a halt, and then the stands were once again choppy with tsunami cheers. Manchester United fans believe that Ashley Young has done a pretty good job.

"Yes, you have to do this to them, brutally kill them!"

"To be merciful to them is to give oneself death, and you can never give them that chance again!"

"Whoever they are, as long as they pass halfway, they should be resolutely aggressive!"

Manchester United fans have just waited too long and are desperate for Manchester United to win against Manchester City. Although their record this season is also beautiful, none of them are more important than this one. What's more, it's a League Cup final. The winner will win the League Cup.

The head coaches of both sides stood in the command area, quietly watching everything on the field.

De Bruyne re-drove the ball out and he passed it to Leroy Sane in front.

It turned out to be Ashley Young again.

Ashley Young seemed to have judged Sane's movements, and he had already noticed Sane in his reply just now, so he still didn't hesitate to go up and give a kick this time.

He also hit the ball.

This almost risky behavior actually gave Ashley Young the right thing.

Sane not only did not succeed in breaking through, but instead gave Ashley Young a successful clearance.

Needless to say, there was another surging cheer in the stands.

Violent!

Just one word.

Ashley Young instantly brought passion to Manchester United fans and the team! And the game has been in this crazy state since the first second.

It's so scary! Sane didn't even shake his head, he couldn't believe Ashley Young would do that. It looks like Ashley Young doesn't care about the ball or the man at all, he's going to do it.

It's really horrible. Invisibly, Sane has such a mentality.

In such a strong confrontation and must be brave in a game, Sane's heart was instantly affected. It's not that he's not brave enough, it's that Ashley Young is braver than he is.

What a damn it, his mouth is swearing. I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Ashley Young. Whether this would have made him feel relieved, but it was not, and the more he looked at Ashleyyan, the more terrified he became.

De Bruyne walked in front of the ball again, and this time, he didn't dare to kick it forward again. He passes the ball back to the defender. But the Manchester United players pounced like crazy again, denying the Manchester City players a chance to rush the ball.

There was no way, and the ball could only be handed to Wang Dalong's feet in the end. Maybe as long as Wang Dalong can solve this problem.

The Manchester United player Wang Dalong faced was Jesse Lingard. Lingard seemed to have expected the ball to pass to Wang Dalong's feet, and he pressed Wang Dalong in advance. The moment Wang Dalong touched the ball, he poked out his right foot without thinking, and then swept directly in front of him.

Anyway, whether he sweeps the ball or sweeps people, this is Manchester United's backfield, even if it fouls, it's not good.

As a result, Wang Dalong also fell, and the referee's whistle sounded. It was indeed a foul.

But the referee still didn't say anything, because the foul was not scary and not obvious.

But Guardiola finally couldn't sit still, and he ran to the fourth official to protest. If the game continues like this, it will be quite detrimental to Manchester City.

The referee's decision was so open, and it was good for Manchester United. Pep Guardiola certainly doesn't accept it. Even if the fourth official doesn't say anything, he wants to do it. In the end, you can still put pressure on the referee.

Fortunately, Wang Dalong was not injured, he still got up, and quickly passed the ball forward, Silva got his pass and immediately passed the ball to the middle, but Aguero's height was too short to get the ball. United eventually got the ball at their feet and then went on the offensive right away.

Their attacking approach was quite simple, just passing the ball directly to Bale's feet. Bale didn't make any extra moves when he got the ball. Today, with a buckle of his right foot, he was in the middle, and then he took several big strides in a row, and quickly rushed to more than 20 meters in front of Manchester City's penalty area.

Then this guy didn't wait for Fernandinho to come up and block, he just shot with his left foot!

At such a distance from the goal, Bale actually shot straight at the goal!

Even if it's a long-distance shot.

But such a distance, for other players, may be a bit far. But for Bell, it's actually within his range.

That's why Bell did it.

"Is this Mourinho's tactic against Manchester City? It looks very simple and effective. Stacking up at the back and then passing the ball to Bale on the counter-attack and just doing it with Manchester City seems to work, but of course, you have to have Bale on the pitch, and if you don't have a player like Bale, then it doesn't work at all. What's more, there is a very fast Sterling on the left side, Sterling has not played any role yet, but it is estimated that his role is not the same, but the focus is still on Bale. ”

Lineker admired United's tactics and went on to analyse: "If you stop City's attack far away, then Manchester United's defence is considered successful, and all that remains is to take the opportunity and score. ”

"Of course, Manchester City is not a dish, Pep Guardiola's team is not so simple, and now the Chinese king has not come up, once he comes up, maybe the result will be different."

"But now that the scene is so fierce, does the king of China dare to come up? What if you accidentally get injured, look at the current posture of the Manchester United players, they don't care who the other party is now, if Wang is injured, then Manchester City may be over. Lineke also expressed concern about Wang.

"The safest way is naturally to stay in the backcourt for a while and let your teammates fight, but in this case, it won't be the king of China, will he come up?"

Wang Dalong doesn't mean this for the time being, Manchester United is so powerful now, he can't afford to fight Manchester United. It's not that I'm afraid of Manchester United, it's that I don't need it that way.

Manchester United players can't do that all the time, and besides, he doesn't believe there are no holes in the back.

How can the Manchester United players save now, then let them save first......

"Hey, aren't you very awesome? You're rushing up, huh? ”

"Coward, do you just dare to stay behind, aren't you very good at scoring goals?"

Manchester United fans were excited, and the fans in the first row of the stands chanted loudly, constantly taunting Wang Dalong.

"Come on, come on, come on, come and hurt each other!"

Manchester United fans can't wait for Wang Dalong to be injured in this game, many people's hearts are gloomy, obviously, if Wang Dalong is injured in this game, then Manchester United can rest easy in the league?

Even if it is to sacrifice the Carabao Cup title, to sacrifice a player, and to give the Carabao Cup title to Manchester City, it seems that the price is worth it?

Lineke had to think in this direction...... It seems to have guessed Manchester United's tactical purpose.

God, they can't be that dark, right? If it's so dark in your heart, then this game is dangerous. What can't Jose Mourinho's team do......

Lineker shook his head, feeling like he was thinking a little too much. In his heart, he hoped that such a situation would not happen.

Manchester City temporarily had nothing to do with Manchester United in attack, and then lost the initiative to Manchester United, Manchester United still passed the ball to Bale, who again smashed the ball and cut into the middle.

Then Bale took his feet again and shot from distance!

Again, the exact same tactic. It looks rather monotonous and doesn't have any technical content to speak of.

Whew-

The ball arced in a pretty nice arc and went straight to the bottom right corner of the goal. I have to say that Bale's long-range shooting ability is quite strong, even from 35 meters away, his long-range shooting is like an accurate missile, and he is only two goalposts away from the goal.

If he keeps shooting like this, he might be able to get a kick.

It was the first time that such a simple and crude way of shooting appeared at the feet of the dignified Manchester United.

After all, Manchester United had not been like this before, but it only rushed into the hands of Mourinho, and any tactics are not surprising.

"Manchester United is this trick, it doesn't matter if you can score or not, the important thing is that now Manchester City can't do anything about them, this trick is quite helpless, but it is very practical. I think Pep Guardiola is also depressed at the moment, he really wants someone to keep Bale in check, but just like Manchester United, they also want someone to keep the king in check. The two sides are now even, but Manchester City also has the advantage that the Chinese king has not gone up yet, what is he waiting for, or is he really afraid? ”

Wang Dalong couldn't be afraid, but he was still watching and waiting.

This is a game that neither side can lose, and Wang Dalong cannot afford to lose. Winning the League Cup gives him two titles, including the Community Shield.

In such a final scene, he is determined not to let the team lose.

He just wasn't sure what United were going to do.

"Hey, bastard, you're rushing forward!" Manchester United fans are urging him again, and it seems that they are Manchester City fans.

They would now be happy to see Wang Dalong rolling around on the lawn. That's what they see now.

"You bastard, you're going to go up quickly?" Wang Delong heard it clearly.

Manchester United's attack came again, but this time, the ball did not reach Bale's feet, and the ball was intercepted by Wang Dalong.

I saw Wang Dalong rush towards Bell at the moment when they played the ball. When the ball didn't fly in front of Bale, he lifted his left foot early, and his left foot jumped high in the air to intercept the ball with precision.

What the?

Bale was quite surprised, and his teammates were equally surprised. Because no one thought that Wang Dalong would be able to grab this ball.

At least Wang Dalong was more than 20 meters away from Bell just now, and Wang Dalong ran too fast. When everyone's eyes were on Bale, Wang Dalong had already appeared in front of Bale and intercepted the ball.

No one can be blamed for this, only Manchester United's tactics are too one-dimensional. Manchester City often have to rely on Wang Dalong, but now Manchester United rely even more on Bale.

Since your tactics are so simple, isn't it easy to defend. Of course, the premise is to defend in advance, and not to be passive as before. By the time Bale got the ball at his feet, it was too late.

Now Wang Dalong is defending in advance, he is fast enough, that is, when you play the ball, grab the ball before Bale.

Then Wang Dalong did not hesitate to pass the ball forward, and the ball went directly over the top to find Jesus on the left. Gabriel Jesus used his pace to finally break down the right flank of United for the first time.

However, his cross was still cleared by the United players. Although his cross was low this time, it was still cleared by Manchester United. In fact, there aren't many players in United's big box who focus on defence, but they are quite focused.

It was perhaps the most focused game under Jose Mourinho, with every player remaining 200 per cent focused and not daring to be careless.

Because this game is different from any game in their career.

Unless they want to throw away everything this season.

In United's dressing room, Jose Mourinho has reiterated this countless times.

Only by going to the death and Manchester City will they have a way out. It's not a question of whether you win the Carabao Cup or not, it's a matter of strategy.

It was United's turn to counter-attack, and this time United finally did not rush to find Bale, but tried to deploy in midfield. Because they saw Wang Dalong approaching Bell.

And what is surprising at this point is that Sterling leans into the middle, what does this mean?
