1023 Turning Fortune and Rewriting History?
"Bernardo Silva! A fantastic shot to break De Gea's Ten Fingers!
Manchester City's goal cooperation is not only mercury, but even more unexpected!
De Bruyne didn't feed the trident this time, who would have thought that Bernardo Silva would cut forward into the box to form a one-on-one shot?!
Manchester United's defence was completely unexpected!
Manchester City once again took the lead at home.
2:1! ”
Manchester City will show a tough stance in their cheers and celebrations, and their determination to win Manchester United at home today is completely reflected in their momentum and action!
Carrick gritted his teeth, and at this moment he finally realized how far he and Pep Guardiola had in terms of coaching.
If De Bruyne were simply given to Manchester United, he would not have been confident that he would be able to play such a delicate and fluid and wonderful combination.
This is the football realm that Guardiola is pursuing, although it does not mean that it is definitely the strongest and can sweep the championship, but at least from the perspective of ornamentation, it is indeed the benchmark of the times.
They perform the beauty of team football.
Manchester United has been labelled as heroism for many years.
Carrick didn't dwell on it, at least for his age, he had only a short start in his coaching career.
He gestured to his team to force down the flanks in attack, and the wings flew together to destroy City's wide defence.
As for how to fight after the destruction, it is more of a free play for the attack group.
Manchester United kick off.
Manchester City once again took the lead and were clearly more aggressive in their stance.
Pep Guardiola has also learned his lesson.
At the Etihad Stadium, he doesn't wait for Manchester United to strike first, but asks for the first strike when he deploys before the game!
When Walker encountered a triangular pass attack from Ye Yifeng, B Fei and Luke Shaw on the wing, he knew he couldn't stop it at all.
So when Ye Yifeng started to run after the ball, he decisively pulled down Ye Yifeng.
As the referee's whistle blew, Walker was gesturing to his teammates to support him.
Unsurprisingly, Walker received a yellow card.
Pep Guardiola turned his head to look at the bench.
The 500 million defence should have been reduced to 400 million after Otamendi's departure, but they still have a lot of reserves.
Stones, Ake are both on the bench.
There is also the veteran Fernandinho.
When the pressure is too great to withstand, and when it's time to change people to do the dirty work, Guardiola will definitely not hesitate today.
In the 31st minute of the game, Manchester United encountered Manchester City's fast attack in front, and in order to break the opponent's rhythm, Manchester United also took direct fouls to intimidate the opponent.
Fred assists on the wing against Ferran Torres for a flying tackle!
Apparently looking for a card, Ferran Torres fell to the ground, and there was a lot of scolding on the spot.
Fred was shown a yellow card and Ferran Torres was taken to the sidelines by the team doctor for treatment.
Carrick and Pep Guardiola were both calm.
Because in the Manchester derby in the past few years, whether it is a tactical foul or an intentional kill, the two teams have fought a lot of tragic battles.
This is to be expected.
In their division, whoever crosses the line is likely to pay a heavier price unless they can hit their opponent at the core.
United flew on both wings to tear apart the width of City's defence, before two full-backs crossed diagonally from the flank.
Ye Yifeng and Ronaldo each cut inside once to grab the goal.
Ye Yifeng was cleared by Dias first.
Although Ronaldo completed the point, he was bravely defused by goalkeeper Ederson.
In the 37th minute, Kevin De Bruyne organized an attack in front, and Manchester City also tore apart Manchester United's defence through the wings, but United clearly preferred to give up the outside line to hold the middle.
De Bruyne tackled the ball across to B Silva after a frontal interception by McTominay, who sent in a through ball over the top.
Jack Grealish turned and cut forward to bring Harry Maguire back, but it was Kevin De Bruyne who followed up on the front that was the real threat.
Stop the ball with your left foot and shoot with your leg.
At the critical moment, De Gea quickly fell to the ground and swooped to block De Bruyne's shot in front of the goal line, and Varane immediately returned to the goalmouth position to block Grealish with his body to make up the shot, and then De Gea got up and pounced to press the ball under him.
Manchester City fans sighed.
Almost able to extend the score again.
40th minute of the game.
Manchester United broke fast to the right side of the field, and Dalot received Cristiano Ronaldo's return pass this time but did not choose to cross.
De Bruyne dropped back to block his lanes.
He then crossed the ball across the middle and Pogba quickly made a diversion.
Ye Yifeng ran inside and cut into a ball to find B Fei in the middle, Manchester City's defense contracted the middle obviously, and B Fei stopped the ball and sent a cross to the side.
Luke Shaw made a stoppage on the outside of the box and sent in a short pass past Walker.
When the football rolled into the left rib hinterland of the penalty area, Ye Yifeng touched the ball first, Dias blocked the middle, but Ye Yifeng stopped the ball with his right foot and turned forward, Marseille maneuvered!
He turned around with his supporting foot already on the baseline, but before the ball rolled off the baseline, he shifted in the direction of goal and picked the ball past Diaz.
Ederson immediately attacked, and Dias also returned to form a flank.
The president was outflanked in the middle, but no matter how you look at it, Ye Yifeng can't pass the ball over.
There is no angle of shot, and there is no line of crossing.
The embattled Ye Yifeng was unusually calm and vigorously passed the ball back to the outside of the penalty area!
Manchester City will be incredible.
All hit within 5 meters of the goal, but Ye Yifeng passed the ball back from the middle distance!?
And when they turned their heads to look again, what caught their eyes was Pogba swaying Rodri who rushed up in front of them with a buckle, and then shot out with a powerful shot!
Ederson scrambled towards the middle of the goal, but Pogba's shot hit the reverse line and flew into the bottom left corner of the goal!
Dias's flying tackle attempt to make a limit clearance ended in failure.
Edson looked up to the sky and sighed after the emergency stop, there was no time to make another save!
Football flew into the Manchester City goal!
The Etihad Stadium was filled with the cheers of the Red Devils fans!
Pogba stood at the position of breaking the goal, with a cold expression and exaggerated movements, shaking his hand and pointing at Ye Yifeng, and a spicy smile slowly raised at the corner of his mouth.
'Pogba scores from distance! An assist from Ye Yifeng!
Although Manchester United does not have the strong team attacking cooperation of Manchester City, their individual strength of stars clearly stands out from the crowd!
Ye Yifeng passed Dias's Marseille maneuver in the penalty area, and then picked up the ball and changed direction, which was simply a waltz in the Manchester City penalty area!
What was even more surprising was that he was able to see Pogba outside the box and play the ball back with precision.
That's his best bet!
Pogba's long-range shot also showed his quality!
Manchester United equalised again.
2:2!
The Manchester rivals are in a goal shootout! ”
Carrick raised his fists high, but still didn't smile.
It's more like showing a hint of stubbornness.
Manchester United's overall cooperation is not as good as Manchester City, but they have a powerful explosion!
That's exactly what Manchester City have been asking for over the years.
Pep Guardiola has long been envious to death.
At this moment, I was relieved.
History has proven that in the summer of 2018, Manchester City lost the battle for Ye Yifeng, and the history of the Premier League and European football was written by the protagonist Manchester United at that moment!
Now Manchester City are trying to turn their fortunes around, they want to break Manchester United's dominance!
Conceding before half-time is certainly not a good sign for Manchester City.
But since you can't dominate the game, a draw is not unacceptable.
Both teams are somewhat defensive-oriented.
The main thing is to rush close to the half, and the physical fitness needs to be controlled.
Plus they don't want to be scored by their opponents and come back into the dressing room with the pressure of falling behind.
Cristiano Ronaldo tried a long-range shot from the outside, and the football was blasted into the stands.
Ferran Torres also cut inside and fired a long-range shot that was too wide for goalkeeper David De Gea to easily parry.
Half time over.
The score is 2:2.
Carrick walked back to the locker room with a heavy heart.
Manchester City finished second in the Champions League group stage, but they were drawn to Ajax, so they have a clear advantage when they travel to Ajax in the middle of next week after winning the first leg at home in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
They are the favourites to advance to the quarterfinals.
On the other hand, although Manchester United won the group, they were drawn to Atletico Madrid, and after four days, they had to fight for a comeback at home to advance, and the pressure was obviously greater.
Carrick wiped his face and tried not to think about the Champions League.
If you look ahead and want to win it all, then it is obvious that most of Manchester United will lose in the second half of today!
The pinnacle battle does not allow for the slightest distraction.
Back in the dressing room for training, United will definitely have to play with sniping tactics in the second half.
Disrupt City's team attack as much as possible.
At the same time, Carrick asked the team to play more simply and roughly.
More shots!
Put more pressure on Manchester City.
To make their defenses even more panicked!
In the second half, the two teams changed sides and fought again.
The commentators are still discussing Ye Yifeng.
Because even in the face of Manchester City today, Ye Yifeng has not frequently broken through with the ball, and played a local advantage with his personal ability.
Rio Ferdinand believes that if Ye Yifeng can break down Manchester City's local defence alone, then Manchester United will easily win the game.
Gary Neville, a former coach, has expressed his opinion that Ye Yifeng's current style of play will benefit Manchester United as a whole.
Although it was impossible to crush Manchester City completely, United were able to fall behind twice and equalise twice, and the overall level of United was higher than ever.
In fact, Ye Yifeng himself is also weighing whether to switch styles.
It's just that judging from the score, he still wants to continue to play more team-oriented.
At least he hasn't seen a noticeable drop in City's defence towards him.
If the Manchester City defence no longer lists him as a super-focused defensive target, his individual breakthrough will have a better effect!
