Manchester United are also looking to use fouls to contain City's attack.

However, compared to their previous opponents this season, Manchester City passed the ball faster and the players were more active in their movements, so there was a frustration that they might not be able to get on the spot even if they wanted to foul.

How else do you foul Raheem Sterling and Silva when they try to break through in the box?

Outside the box, City's attacking play comes mostly from quick passing, an effect that leaves the rest of the Premier League helpless.

In the 8th minute of the game, Raheem Sterling cut inside from the left to receive a wonderful pass from De Bruyne, and he quickly knocked the ball across the middle.

Sergio Aguero's follow-up shot was in place, and Victor Lindelof scrambled to clear the ball off the back of the net from the post.

Almost self-posing oolong.

The pressure on the defensive line can be seen.

In the 11th minute of the game, Luke Shaw made a long pass from the backfield, and Lukaku headed back in front of the center circle.

Ye Yifeng stopped the ball on his chest and dribbled forward, just after halftime, David Silva chased back and stretched his leg to intercept, Ye Yifeng smashed the ball and changed direction and then quickly pulled the ball to dodge the counter-robbery from De Bruyne, and then went out to find Lukaku and then stepped forward.

Lukaku was forced by Kyle Walker and subconsciously knocked the ball across the middle to find Ye Yifeng.

This ball is a knife hill ball.

Ye Yifeng tried his best to touch the ball first before being tripped by Fernandinho and falling to the ground.

As he rolled to the ground, the referee blew the whistle for a foul on Fernandinho and then issued a warning.

United haven't threatened yet, but City's defence has been pulling up the intensity.

Red Devils fans were furious, but there was nothing they could do.

The whole world knows that Manchester United need Ye Yifeng to lead the rhythm.

Holding down Ye Yifeng can stifle more than half of Manchester United's attacking threat.

Positional battleManchester City defended tightly, Manchester United mainly counterattacked, the positional battle did not drag, and Ye Yifeng's long-range shot from the periphery did not test Ederson.

In the 15th minute of the game, Manchester City played a series of strong attacks.

A quick pass deflected the ball to tear the United defence apart, and when David Silva sent a diagonal shot over the top in front of the penalty area, B Silva crossed the ball in front of the right rib line in the box.

De Gea came out to clear the ball.

Fernandinho controlled the ball in front of the center circle and the attack continued.

Feint to the left and then move to the right, De Bruyne has almost the same passing line as David Silva, but the line is more erratic.

Diagonal overhead straight plug.

The ball crossed an outside arc and fell in front of the bottom line of the left rib of the penalty area.

Raheem Sterling volleys the ball in before Smalling does.

Sergio Aguero grabbed another point and De Gea continued to attack, this time Aguero's shot was blocked by De Gea from close range and blocked with his body.

The score is not behind, but Manchester United fans have consciously begun to pinch their eggs.

The oppression and firepower suppression on the Manchester City field is simply terrifying!

When De Gea's save flew out, Nemanja Matic was about to clear the ball on the edge of the box but David Silva was the first to stop and slot.

Matic hurriedly retracted his feet, for fear of a foul.

David Silva enters the box and shoots without adjusting!

De Gea had just gotten up and hurriedly moved a step before he couldn't make a save.

The ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

The Etihad Stadium stands are boiling like seawater!

'David Silva breaks the deadlock with a stoppage! Manchester City showed the strength of the defending champions.

At the Etihad Stadium, they almost made it impossible for United to play fluidly up front.

This is all-round suppression!

Manchester United's humanoid weapon, Ye Yifeng, is being snuffed out by the opponent's crazy fouls.

Mourinho may have figured it out.

Manchester City leads Manchester United 1-0! ”

Manchester United fans played ahead and pinched the eggs first.

On the contrary, it is not so difficult to accept conceding a goal.

Well, get used to it.

Manchester United won't score if they don't concede.

New traditions, new styles.

Guardiola didn't have a smile on his face, just raised his fists and clapped his hands.

The temperament of the champion coach is very good.

Don't look at Manchester United, it's just Manchester United.

Nothing to be proud of.

When the Manchester City crowd rushed to celebrate the goal with David Silva, De Bruyne looked at Ye Yifeng with a thousand words in his eyes.

There is no right or wrong choice for Manchester United.

Just looking at the competition, that is definitely not a way to win.

Mourinho clapped his hands on the sidelines and made demands on the defensive line, giving a dead order: the opponent's offensive threat must be curbed with fouls!

Manchester United kicked off, the positional battle just hit the front, Ye Yifeng, who pulled the side from the middle to the left, was fouled by B Silva from behind, and the referee stopped the game and showed B Silva a yellow card.

Pep Guardiola applauded and was pleased with the performance of B Silva.

But three minutes later, when B Silva just controlled the ball on the right side of the field, Luke Shaw rushed forward and hit the ball with a collision that directly caused B Silva to roll out of the touchline and hit the billboard without getting up immediately.

The referee showed Luke Shaw a yellow card.

After a brief silence, the Manchester City fans erupted in a beastly roar.

Silva is injured!

To say that Luke Shaw did it on purpose.

He did deliberately go for a foul.

However, due to the difficulty of pressing in close quarters, the burst start and sprint acceleration must reach their own limit in a short period of time, and it is easy to lose the action when the speed is fast.

Guardiola's face instantly turned ugly.

Passive substitutions.

Riyad Mahrez comes on.

The Manchester derby was filled with gunsmoke.

In the 22nd minute of the game, De Bruyne flicked a clever pass to Aguero in the Manchester City's forward fast attack, and the latter flicked the ball in the box and shook off the open shot, and the ball was easily confiscated by De Gea.

United's fast attack was immediately launched, and Pogba and Herrera collided with the wall at the back and sent the ball to the right side of the pitch with a long diagonal pass.

Ye Yifeng pulled the side to respond, stopped the ball and dribbled forward.

When he quickly dribbled in front of Mendy and stepped on the bicycle to change direction and was about to complete the breakthrough, Mendy turned around and grabbed Ye Yifeng's arm and shook it hard.

Ye Yifeng almost dislocated his arm!

After rolling backwards on the ground, the right hand strokes the left arm, and the head is lowered and gently moved.

Gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

Mendy dyes yellow!

The action between the two teams was not polite at all.

Two minutes later, Nemanja Matic stepped on the opponent's feet while defending David Silva at the back.

Matic dyes yellow.

David Silva was treated by the team doctor and returned to the pitch to continue playing.

Fans on both sides shouted at each other in the stands, and the confrontation reached its peak in recent years!

I don't know if there will be a group brawl outside the stadium after the game, which is not uncommon in the Premier League.

Manchester City are still struggling to dominate the positional play in front of the game.

In the 30th minute of the game, Mahrez's long-range shot from the right in front of the penalty area slid past the goal.

Lukaku pulled the side in front of the court, and Ye Yifeng burst forward in the middle and knocked the ball back with his heel when he received Lukaku's pass.

Herrera made a quick assist and sent a through ball over the top.

Ye Yifeng smashed into the Manchester City penalty area, quickly turned and stopped the ball with his chest.

Stones was still retreating, but he didn't expect Ye Yifeng to push the ball up with his chest, and then hang the golden hook upside down on the spot!

Extreme saucy operation!

He stepped forward and tried to block it with his body, but the ball flew past his head.

Ederson moved into place and the ball flew slightly over the crossbar into the stands.

The Red Devils fans were stunned and erupted in frenzied cheers.

Pep Guardiola secretly clenched his fists.

Nervousness is part of it.

What's more important is that there is unwillingness.

The failure to win Ye Yifeng means that he will have to find ways to stifle Ye Yifeng's threat when Manchester City are at war with Manchester United in the coming years.

Even if Manchester City fouled him again and again, Ye Yifeng was still able to threaten!

But it seems that this is the only threat that United have.

With Luke Shaw on his yellow card, City played on the right side more often in attack.

In the 34th minute of the game, Fellaini had retreated to the penalty line, and Manchester City passed the ball back and forth on the edge of the Manchester United penalty area, like a hunter looking for a hole in his prey.

When Mahrez cut inside to meet David Silva's clever pass, Fellaini made a decisive effort to block the opposition into the box.

The head-on collision is like a sense of déjà vu at the scene of a car accident.

Riyad Mahrez tumbled to the ground, while Fellaini fell to the ground.

Pep Guardiola thundered on the sidelines!

A foul is a foul, what the hell is this football?!

The Red Devils fans cheered for Fellaini in a roar.

What Manchester City did to Ye Yifeng, they did to everyone in Manchester City!

Let you continue to fall on your feet!

Riyad Mahrez came off the pitch to be treated by the team doctor and appeared to have some discomfort in his shoulder.

I don't know if I'll be able to keep playing anymore.

Fellaini dyed yellow.

2 minutes later, when Manchester United's attack hit the left side of the front, Ye Yifeng cooperated with Lukaku's quick pass, and Lukaku was knocked to the ground by Kyle Walker's near-knee action as soon as he ran inside!

The ball passed by Ye Yifeng went directly out of the bottom line.

The referee blows for a foul on Walker, yellow card!

Lukaku clutched his thighs in pain.

Hurt.

Unable to keep playing.

Riyad Mahrez returned to the pitch to continue the fight.

Manchester United's side has to make a substitution!

Mourinho repeatedly reminded himself to calm down.

Anthony Martial was in danger.

Manchester United and Manchester City each made a passive substitution.

Ye Yifeng takes a direct free kick from outside the box close to the wing.

The opening game was not over at half-time, but the situation was already a bit miserable.

Ye Yifeng is not easy, being fouled frequently is secondary, and the change of mentality brought about by falling behind the score is the key to more likely to affect the performance.

A high-quality curling ball is played.

The ball crashes into the far corner of the goal after the sky loops around the perimeter.

Shot almost impeccably.

In the nick of time, Ederson made a world-class save and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm in front of the far post.

Red Devils fans sighed, Manchester City fans palpitated.

Manchester City regrouped and quickly launched a quick attack.

After playing on the right side for a while, he suddenly attacked from the left.

Raheem Sterling burst through Nemanja Matic's zone with a quick run down the flank, and Ashley Young made a flying tackle in the top corner of the box to tip Sterling to the ground!

The Manchester City crowd is completely blown up!

Surrounded the referee and demanded a red card.

If you don't give a red card, this game is about to die!

Again, the referee only showed a yellow card.

Pep Guardiola held his head on the sidelines and shook his head slightly.

The advantage of Manchester City's overall technology is being stifled by Manchester United with murderous fouls!

What about Manchester City?

Edouard Mendy, Walker, Fernandinho, where did the yellow cards come from?

If in previous years the Manchester derby was a traditional confrontation.

Today, it's officially escalated to a green war!
