Chapter 984: The real game now officially begins
In the 11th minute of the game, the home fans finally got excited -
Xiwa sent a long-distance direct pass in the midfield, and Sane directly used realistic feints to smash Valencia and burst directly into the penalty area!
Herrera, who was making up for the defense, didn't dare to kick his feet, so he had to desperately jam Sane's cross-cutting line, and the German winger shook the ball vigorously in front of him after changing directions continuously!
Gabriel Jesus fell to the ground almost at the same time as Rojo and De Gea struggled to keep the ball off the line with his legs when he had lost his centre of gravity!
A huge sigh rang out instantly, and the frustrated Manchester City fans immediately cheered for Shiva and Jesus even harder.
Lineker raised his voice: "This is the number 9 of the Brazilian national team!"
Gabriel Jesus may not be the strongest centre-forward in the world, but he must be the centre-forward who best understands Pep's tactical intentions! β
Gerald replied, "Gary......
Don't you think all three games are all very interesting?
Jose has been attacking opponents with ground passes and quick passes, while City's long balls and crosses are becoming more and more numerous? β
The magic bird turned to Falia, who looked at the timer on his chest and shook his head: "This must be a prelude, and it hasn't really started yet!" β
Compared to the fans of the Blue Moon in the stands, who were finally able to vent their huge pressure, the Manchester City players were as calm as they were at the beginning.
The same is true for the Red Devils.
Shiva took a corner in a wide arc, and the United players in the box managed to clear City's covering tactics, but in the end Kompany couldn't get space to sprint and jump, and Otamendi struggled to jump at the back post without touching the ball -
The corner kick flew straight across the penalty area and off the touchline on the other side.
Pep Guardiola and Torrent waved their hands at the same time.
Several former stars from the Class of '92 sat with Wayne Rooney and Carrick, who was not in the squad.
Scholes stared intently at the field: "Michael, what are you waiting for?!" β
Carrick replied, "Paul, it's actually a secretβ
Some of us were involved in the development of tactics in these three games.
Our verdict for this game is that Manchester City will start to push after 20 minutes!
Our injuries are worse than you know......
That's the price of victory, or the price of a chance to fight them to the death. β
In the 15th minute, Manchester United had their best chance since the start of the game -
Lingard cut inside and suddenly reversed the ball, and Valencia on the set crossed directly and quickly!
Li Liang was running back before Lingard's pass, and the bird didn't leave an inch!
Seeing Lingard split the ball, Li Liang suddenly stopped and changed direction to run back, he bypassed Otamendi and jumped directly to the top!
The exclamations and screams of the audience reached their climax-
Asuka's desperate tugging couldn't stop the Manchester United captain from getting to the ball!
Fortunately, Kompany followed up in time and blocked this wonderful header with his body.
The ball was kicked into the sky, and the stands were filled with exclamations and cheers for the rest of their lives.
He Wei was very happy: "This is the third shot of Manchester United after the opening game!"
It was also Li Liang's second shot on goal!
β It looks like the referee at least today's UEFA selection did a better job of protecting attacking players than the Premier League referee.
This also made the Manchester City players move significantly smaller when defending Li Liang than in the previous game!"
He Wei and Xue Yang's England counterparts are looking at another issue.
Gerrard asked, "Gary (Lineker), what do you think?" β
Lineker frowned: "Everything is well done, but the last moment doesn't seem like Lee's usual level!" β
In the home team's coach's box, Guardiola suddenly got up and shook hands with several coaches in charge of data analysis who were far away from him.
Arteta said to Torrente with admiration: "Pep's words have come true!
Lee can act as a qualified fulcrum, but he is by no means a true center. β
Torrent replied confidently: "There is no Romelu, unless Zeratan is young...... At least 6 years old to support their new system.
In front of Vincent (Kompany) and Nicolas (Otamendi), they no longer have a qualified centre-forward! β
Arteta exclaimed: "Yes, when Pep first told everyone that Lee is more used to shooting after adjustment, and that direct grabbing is his weak point, I didn't believe it.
Now it seems that Pep is really right, as long as he keeps enough pressure on Lee, he can fully withstand the threat in the penalty area! β
The thigh on the bench waved angrily, and his body writhed sharply on the seat: "This ball is not in the right way!"
At such a distance he should try to push a reverse parabola, like this......"
Bayi shook his head: "Alexis, don't forget that this is the first time Lee has played the starting center position this season!"
It's really amazing to be able to play like this! β
β¦β¦
Looking at the multi-angle high-speed lens replay, Li Liang completed a wonderful header under the attack of two world-class stars, and the stadium of 10,000 people thundered with joy.
Li Liang's former colleagues were cheering excitedly, and the boss was also proud, and the fans around him got up excitedly and shouted: "Mold! β
"Mold!"
"Mold!"
Lu Yue became more and more worried: "Fierce, why am I getting more and more empty-hearted!"
It is said that Manchester City will never be beaten like this by Manchester United-
I feel more and more that this is Pep Guardiola's tactical design! β
Tang Meng also began to realize that something was wrong: "Why do I feel a little hairy when you say this?"
You see that after Danilo was broken through, there didn't seem to be a shot of his teammates yelling at him.
Kompany has also been concentrating on organizing the defense, and he has basically not pressed the ......"
β¦β¦
Ferguson was also in a nervous discussion with Charlton: "In the last game, when Lee and Paul pressed together, it didn't really help the attack.
When a player like Lee who is good at breaking loses space, he is much less powerful. β
Charlton nodded yes: "Yes, now with that Brazilian (Fernandinho), Vincent and Nicolas shrink the central defense, there is no space around Lee behind him."
Without Lee's playmaking in midfield, the distance between Marcus and Jesse and Paul has always been problematic. β
With the two sides battling fiercely in midfield, Kompany looked at the time numbers on the big screen and shouted to his partner: "Nicolas, it's time!"
Come on, let's burn the fire to their half! β
The City captain looked at Pep Guardiola, who was already standing in the command area on the sidelines, who nodded steadily, and Kompany nodded too.
He and Otamendi went into action at the same time.
He Wei, Xue Yang and other foreign counterparts exclaimed almost together in the commentary seat: "The Manchester City team suddenly began to press as a whole!"
It was the 20th minute of the game, and the tempo on the pitch was raised more than one gear! β
Gerrard exclaimed: "This is the real Manchester City!"
The real race starts now! β
