Mbappe got excited: "Hey, do you see Benjamin (Mendy)?!"

If it weren't for your captain, Lee would have scored this goal! ”

Mendy replied unconvinced: "It's just an accident, and Pep told us that Manchester United would play like this -

Lee prefers to work with Alexis (thigh), so they'll attack more from the left! ”

In the 30th minute, Sheva and De Bruyne made consecutive passes in the middle, and the latter leaked the ball to Gundogan behind him at the last time, and the German picked up the ball directly without adjusting -

Xiwa strode into the penalty area and fell to the ground to shoot!

The ball was touched by Bayi and missed the bottom line, Manchester City corner!

Amid the anxious chatter of the Reds fans around him, Henry said to Adams and Bergkamp: "This is one of their most threatening attacking routines!

At the new Wembley (Carabao Cup final) and the Emirates Stadium, David [Shiva] scored against us like this! ”

De Bruyne took a corner, the height was not enough to be easily defused by the small monster in front of the point, the ball fell to the foot of the thigh, and Manchester United immediately launched a counterattack!

He had been watching his team-mate's receiving runs in the high-speed thigh drive, and he cut inside in succession to distribute the ball to Li Liang in the middle before Gundogan intercepted.

The audience suddenly exclaimed, and the captain of the Red Devils pulled the ball directly under his feet to meet the pass, and turned around beautifully to dodge the bird's fierce sliding tackle-

Henry and Bergkamp exclaimed at the same time -

Without waiting for Gundogan, who came to make up for the defense, approached, Li Liang immediately passed the ball diagonally to the left side-

The thigh has been waiting for a long time on the left side!

When the Chilean forced a corner kick, Walker, who was defending behind the hall, failed and forced his foot from the edge of the box to go out of the goal-

The audience was full of regret, and then began to applaud Li Lianghe's thighs warmly.

Lineker was a little puzzled: "It's clear that Manchester City have focused on defending on the left, why does Lee keep moving the ball to the left? ”

Steven Gerrard shared the same doubts: "Yes, Pep has tried half of the different options at left wing-back since Benjamin Mendy's injury......

At least judging by their performance at Goodison Park in the last round of the league and their performance in those 33 minutes, Benjamin's compatriot Emeryk Laporte may be the most suitable person at the moment -

So I don't understand why Lee started to choose the direction of the attack to the left -

However, judging from the two attacks just now, the captain of Manchester United is still one of the last threats on the field!

This may continue to cause a lot of trouble for Manchester City! ”

Both Ferguson and Charlton became focused.

Bart complained: "That big Frenchman is for Lee and Alexis, and Fernandinho and Kompany are in the left half, why force the attack on the left?!" ”

Beckham was also puzzled, and Scholes touched his chin thoughtfully: "Don't worry, let's see what happens next." ”

Pep Guardiola shouted with his hands in the command area, and even the magic bird on the side heard most of the content: "...... Get closer, move closer to the middle, keep a good distance, and speed up the pass......"

Seeing that the quality of Manchester City's players is getting better and higher, Gerrard said worriedly: "Sure enough, as I expected, the current Manchester United has no way to imitate Manchester City's style of play at the technical level-

Now, apart from Lee, Ander [Herrera], Niamar (Nemanja Matic) and the young Scott (McTominay) don't have the ball control and footwork of Paul [Pogba]—"

Lineker nodded yes: "Yes, few of the starting Manchester United players can find their place in Pep's system!" ”

Under the leadership of Sheva, City's midfielders were firmly in control of the ball, constantly speeding up the pace of passing and cutting according to Pep Guardiola's instructions, and frequently playing dazzling attacking combinations.

Red Devils fans are getting more and more agitated and are starting to choose more and more to cheer for the home team with their singing.

Lao Xu asked: "Xiaoyu, is Old Trafford like this?" ”

Xiao Yu returned: "Brother Xu, except for the first derby in the first half of the season, today is the most lively!" ”

In the 36th minute, Manchester City completed the sixth shot of the first half -

De Bruyne received the ball from the left, passed Herrera directly and shot hard from the edge of the penalty area, the ball was quickly defused by De Gea, and Manchester City won the third corner!

He Wei shook his head: "In addition to not scoring yet, Manchester City's statistics have opened up the gap with Manchester United-

The course of the game was very similar to the first meeting between the two sides in the first half of the season! ”

Xue Yang also answered worriedly: "What's more, today's Manchester United's defense is not as tight as before!"

From the opening to now, Mourinho seems to be very thoughtful in attacking, but unfortunately the effect is not ideal......"

The barrage of the online live broadcast platform is more straightforward:

"What kind of pass control does not play at the level of pass control?

Dong Shi imitates! ”

"That's it, I didn't have Wen Qing's life, but I got Wen Qing's disease!"

"Let's be honest as a winger, and just change back to pure cross tactics!"

"The magic bird must have forgotten all about how to win the first time!

The whole team defends well, maybe there is a chance to rely on Li Liang to steal again! ”

……

Faria was just about to open his mouth when the magic bird suddenly said, "I know what you're trying to say, Rui-

Have you forgotten Lee's words that day? ”

After a pause, he continued: "If we go through the old way, we probably have a 30 percent chance of winning this game—

Of course, it's probably less than 30 percent now......

However, Rui, if we can't find a better version of ourselves, even if we win Manchester City, we won't be able to go to the end! ”

Faria was stunned: "......

……

…… José, what is 'going to the end?!!! ’”

The magic bird didn't answer, and got up again and walked to the sideline and shouted, "...... Run, keep running, grab the ball back and stay at our feet! ”

Lineker even found it difficult to understand: "Steven, I really can't understand what they [Manchester United] are doing on the pitch!" ”

Gerrard was also worried: "It looks like a pre-season exhibition tour, but this is against Manchester City, the best team in England! ”

Seeing his teammates make passing mistakes again and again, and the ball that he has worked so hard to get back falls back to the opponent's feet, there are finally boos in the camp of the Red Devils fans!

The thigh yelled at Li Liang: "Li, it can't go on like this!" ”

Li Liang raised his hand and pointed to his thigh, and pointed to his eyes: "Trust me, Alexis, you have to believe me!" ”

In the 43rd minute, in the face of the dazzling cooperation of Manchester City's midfield, the teenager McTominay reluctantly brought down Xiwa, who was about to burst into the penalty area with the ball, and gave Manchester City a free kick in an excellent position while receiving a yellow card!

Amid the growing boos, Ferguson took off his glasses in embarrassment and wiped them: "What the hell is going on?

We've become defenseless?! ”

Charlton's face grim: "Lee organized two decent attacks......

But I guess that probably really infuriated Manchester City!

Pep has built a whole team and it's hard for us to knock them down like we did in the first half of the season......

Henry asked Bergkamp: "Dennis, sometimes I think I can see your shadow in Lee's body-

If that's you, what now? ”

Seeing that Sheva and De Bruyne were all standing in front of the ball, Bergkamp replied seriously: "If it were from the coach's point of view, I would immediately recycle the formation, shorten the distance between the three lines, and compress the space in the middle and back.

- José is actually a connoisseur at this, and I don't understand why he is reluctant to do this!

If I were a player, I would try to change my attack and not just focus on City's left side of the attack......"

Xiaoyu covered her eyes nervously, and immediately after the referee's whistle, she heard the screams of Lao Xu and others next to her, as well as almost everyone around-

When she mustered up the courage to open her eyes, she saw De Bruyne running towards the corner, De Gea in the box roaring and almost all the United players running towards their goalkeeper!

Replayed on the big screen, De Bruyne's high-quality curling shot was once again miraculously saved by De Gea after Sheva covered!

Lao Xu said in shock: "This can't always let people compare at the door of their homes, Liangzi has to fight back!" ”

……

Li Liang hugged De Gea tightly: "Great, David!

Unbeatable save! ”

De Gea pushed his captain away: "They're going to take a corner!"

Watch defensive! ”

De Bruyne soon took a corner, Kompany squeezed away the defensive violence and headed just wide, and Manchester United survived!

De Gea then bumped fists with Li Liang: "Captain, I think I found the other side of fear, I found a better self-

And you?! ”

Li Liang was stunned for a moment, then immediately grinned and pointed to his eyes: "Look at it, David!" ”

There was one minute of stoppage time in the first half.

Lineker is still lamenting: "Usually a good game makes time fly by!"

But it was a long half, and all the United fans -

Including the players on the field and the bench, it will definitely feel tormented......"

His words were immediately interrupted by Gerald: "Beautiful!

Plum! ”

After breaking through Jesus' on-the-spot counter-attack in front, Li Liang crossed the ball to Herrera.

The cheers of the Manchester United fans in the stands were obviously not as loud as before, and the only thing that made them happy was that they could finally get the ball out of the grip of their increasingly fearsome opponents for a short time -

The thighs, which had been obviously dissatisfied, still ran forward along the left side with dedication, which was also the request of his captain more than 20 minutes ago: "As long as I get the ball, Alexis, attack them from the left!" ”

Herrera sent the ball back to Li Liang in time before Xiwa stepped forward.

Manchester City's central midfield has formed a defensive layer in an orderly manner, De Bruyne and Gundogan are chasing Li Liang closely, and Asuka is concentrating on choosing a defensive position at full speed to put the United captain in the most effective middle -

Laporte slowed down, on the one hand, seeing on the big screen that stoppage time was about to run out, and on the other hand, even though La Liga played for Athletic Bilbao, who are known for their strong style of play, the Frenchman still struggled with the obviously more exaggerated defensive rhythm of the Premier League -

What's more, he is a big man with a height of 1.91 meters, and the 45 minutes of running of a full-back has almost reached his limit!

Pep Guardiola's roar and Li Liang's diagonal pass from the three-man hit at the same time -

Before all the fans had time to exclaim, they saw that the ball had gone straight behind Laporte, who was slowing down!

Otamendi had already reacted, and despite the little monster behind him, he immediately rushed to the thigh that was about to catch up with the ball at an astonishing speed-

Faria slammed to his feet on the bench and shouted, "-Find the other side of anger, nervousness, and fear—"

In the face of the Argentine central defender's sliding tackle, he poked the ball first and then jumped high and crossed Otamendi to the penalty area -

Mr. Wu was shocked to see that the fans, who were still depressed a second ago, finally realized what had happened, and the Dream Theater exploded instantly!

Faria's hoarse roar was almost drowned out: "-Find a better version of yourself-"

The thigh that had just landed had already seen Edson, who was getting closer and closer to him, and began to quickly adjust his pace-

Li Liang had already sat up and looked nervously at the forbidden area-

He muttered to himself: "-enjoy our game-"

The toe stab shot of the thigh bounced off the Brazilian goalkeeper!

In the almost crazy roar of the whole field, the little monster appeared in front of the ball, and Kompany desperately made up for the position beyond the whip -

The magic bird raised its arms and roared, "Win our war—"

The little monster got up with his left foot and steadily pushed the ball into the empty goal!

In the last minute of stoppage time in the first half, the home team finally broke through the opponent's goal, 1:0!

The entire Dream Theater shook in an instant, and even the air trembled—

After the goal, the little monster ran all the way to the Red Devils diehard stands, jumped high and roared in the air!

Li Liang first clenched his fists, and then immediately turned over and jumped up and rushed towards his teammates-

The magic bird stood motionless on the sidelines with its head held high, as if it was arrogant of everything—

Faria had already rushed over with his arms raised, and the substitutes were already cheering behind him!

There was chaos in the commentary booth, and Lineker and Gerrard shouted at the same time: "goal——————"

"Oh God!"

"Manchester United scored first!"

Ferguson and Charlton stood up in surprise and clapped vigorously, looking at each other with expressions of disbelief on their faces!

Scholes, Beckham and Bart all jumped up and roared -

Adams threw his fist and shouted, "I knew it was going to happen!" Henry and Bergkamp on the side couldn't stop exclaiming-

Witnessing the Reds celebrating wildly under their own stands, the Red Devils die-hard was in a state of ecstasy.

The little monster that broke free from the arms of the other teammates hugged Li Liang tightly: "Captain-

It's really on the left! ”

Thighs laughed and rushed over and jumped on the two of them: "Li, you really did it!" ”

The roar of the Magic Bird on the sidelines and the reminders of the die-hard players woke up the United players and everyone ran back to half-time to get ready for the restart.

Jesus on the tee point kicked the ball back, and Xiwa, who received the ball, took a few steps with a rare look of annoyance and directly lifted the door!

At the same time as the ball flew high out of bounds, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the half.

With a 1-0 scoreline, the Manchester United players strode to the tunnel with smiles in their hearts and smiles amid the huge chant "e shall not be moved" after the home goal.
