Except for the birds, Otamendi and Kompany remained at the end to participate in the man-to-man defense against Li Liang.

The Manchester City fans continued to increase their cheering, and the rest of the Manchester City players began to press sharply with a tacit understanding, and as the distance between the three lines shortened, the ball was firmly controlled at the feet of the Blue Moon Army!

He Wei exclaimed: "Manchester City suddenly changed their style of play, and began to constantly speed up the speed and running of the ball, is their desperate style of play not to be in the second half?" ”

Xue Yang's expression on the side became more and more solemn: "But we don't know, can such Manchester United hold on until Manchester City's physical fitness declines!"

He Wei: I now feel more and more that Guardiola is playing a big game!

In the first game he used Laporte, in the second he fielded a strikerless lineup, and today's lineup on the field is undoubtedly the strongest Manchester City in these three games! ”

After a short period of resistance, the Red Devils began to be fully suppressed, in addition to Pogba in the midfield, with super individual ability to control the ball, Matic and Herrera began to make consecutive mistakes, which led to Manchester City's midfield advantage becoming more and more obvious!

Gerrard was a little excited: "Gary (Lineker), which of them do you think has more depth in the squad?" ”

Lineker blurted out: "Manchester City, of course!" ”

"Yes!"

The former Reds captain continued: "I finally understand Pep's thinking.

From the very beginning he saw these three games as a whole!

Aside from the fact that Pep didn't succeed in the last fight, at least until now everything is going according to his plan-"

Not far away, their Chinese counterparts were also discussing fiercely, and Xue Yang said: "...... It's like a horse race, the first race at Old Teford Pep Guardiola definitely didn't give it his all!

In the second game, they returned to the Etihad with reservations -

Do you remember when David Silva was substituted?

Remember when Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero played? ”

He Wei suddenly realized: "I understand Xue Yang!"

Wait a minute, I'll look at the data -

……

After a rough calculation, there may be some errors, and several of the main midfielders of the Manchester City team basically did not play the previous 180 minutes of the game!

And correspondingly, Li Liang, the attacking core of Manchester United, did not miss every minute of this super series derby! ”

Xue Yang, who was nervously paying attention to the situation on the field, nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

So I speculate that Mourinho asked Li Liang to play as a center forward is likely to have the same consideration-

After all, compared with the role of No. 10 and No. 9 and a half played by Li Liang before, the requirements for running distance in the pure No. 9 position are relatively low......"

Manchester United's captain kept shouting from the pitch: "Marcus (Marcus (Rashford), Jesse –

Don't retreat too deep, keep a good distance from me! ”

The huge 'Blue moon' sounded again, and the Reds' midfield was almost out of control under City's efficient pressure, with Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard having to continue to retreat even when they heard the captain's shouts.

The magic bird and Faria jumped up at the same time and waved their hands and shouted, "Don't retreat!" ”

"Calm down, stand still!"

Faria stomped his foot in a hurry: "X's!

That's not how we're set! ”

Ferguson also exclaimed: "There is a problem with our overall formation!"

The midfield is completely unlinked, so Manchester City will put more manpower into the attack! ”

Then, just as the old man also expected, Guardiola strode into the command area and waved vigorously-

Under the command of the Manchester City manager, Walker and Danilo also began to put a lot of pressure into the attack!

Arteta tensed: "Domenech (Torrent), if Manchester United play a counter-attack......

Manchester City's first assistant coach Torrent replied categorically: "Their arrows today have no speed!"

And Lee is not a pure striker like Romelu [Lukaku] and Zeratan, he prefers to receive passes like a playmaker......

In the fierce scramble, Herrera fell to the ground and sent the ball forward, Li Liang received the ball and turned directly, and under the fierce interference of the birds, Otamendi, who was waiting for the rabbit, saw the opportunity to successfully break the ball.

In the cheers of the audience, even Dongzi was anxious: "Hey-

This ball should be turned on his back first!

Being caught between two people, you can't turn around like this! ”

The bald head on the side immediately answered: "No, Dongzi!"

In the first two games, Liangzi also handled the ball like this, and I think he always seemed to be unable to kick the first step today! ”

In the 29th minute, Pogba interrupted the ball at the feet of Gundogan, and immediately picked up the ball with the outside of his instep!

The crowd exclaimed, because apart from the fact that the birds were almost level with the captain of Manchester United, who had already started to sprint, Otamendi was also facing the ball and did not have time to turn -

Magic Bird, Faria and the rest of the bench have all shouted, and Guardiola is still as steady as Tarzan!

The thigh on the bench suddenly found his fellow Chilean, goalkeeper Bravo, who started in place of Ederson today, took two steps and began to retreat!

The red No.7 had the upper hand in the confrontation, but Asuka's successful delay forced him to start sprinting again after winning the ball -

Amid the loud shouts and screams around him, Henry had already begun to shake his head and sigh.

- Otamendi, who was already at least two positions behind, has successfully caught up with Li Liang and completed the "closed" defense beautifully with the assistance of captain Kompany!

The United captain tried desperately to squeeze away from his strong opponent but lost his balance and fell to the ground, and the bird returned the ball to Bravo to the cheers of the audience.

Xiao Yu, Mr. Wu and Lao Xu all heard the Red Devils around them complain: "Why don't you let the faster Marcus play center?"

Lee's best fit is by no means at the forefront! ”

"Jose has played Lee in almost every position in midfield, and he should know better than anyone how to use Lee!"

Mr. Wu threw the same question to Mr. Zhang, who shook his head and sighed: "Except for Liangzi, if you change the big one on No. 19 (Rashford) now, Manchester City can keep two people at most!"

I think it's the best No. 6 (Pogba) at his feet, and it's not enough to contain the 3 Manchester City players to defend! ”

Lineker was equally puzzled: "Jose and Pep, I'm afraid they know each other like Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsène Wenger in the past!"

They should know better than all the experts and us about each other's true intentions, but why is this happening? ”

Gerald replied, "Yes, if it was Romelu or Alexis just now, they would definitely be able to use their speed to change the situation."

The only explanation I can think of is that Jose probably didn't intend to score with Lee today-

If I'm not mistaken, Jose will make a change in the second half, and whoever plays the center will definitely return to his more familiar position. ”

Lineker replied worriedly: "If that's the case, then Pep must have guessed José's intentions as well."

But the real question is—

Will he leave United a chance to adjust? ”
