Harry Maguire scored with a header from Ye Yifeng's late pass to save a defeat for Manchester United.

At the end of the game, Klopp was still unrelenting to the referees.

The Reds fans were overjoyed, but the Manchester United fans couldn't say how happy they were.

A draw saw Chelsea and Manchester City close the gap to the top of the table.

Cruelly, Liverpool dropped from second place in the table to fourth in the league......

Manchester United are one point ahead of Chelsea, two points ahead of Manchester City and three points ahead of Liverpool.

There are still eight rounds of league games in the bitter battle for the championship.

Liverpool and Chelsea were able to recuperate in midweek.

Manchester United and Manchester City head to the new Wembley Stadium to compete for the Carabao Cup.

Ye Yifeng was slightly injured, and although he went to the new Wembley Stadium with the team, he did not enter the starting list.

Before the game, Fleet Street called on Pep Guardiola to lead Manchester City to win the League Cup first, and frustrated Manchester United's prestige!

The Club World Cup was suspended this season due to the World Cup, and before that United had already won the Community Shield and the UEFA Super Cup.

After Carrick took over, Manchester United's efficiency in plundering trophies was still terrifying.

Don't look at the League Cup as just a small trophy with sesame green beans, but Manchester United have won the League Cup and FA Cup in rotation in the past few years.

Don't other teams want to feel the excitement of lifting the cup?

And it's a Manchester derby itself.

If they can beat Manchester United in the final, the pair will have an advantage in the league title race or in the final stage of the Champions League knockout round.

A pair of bitter rivals in Manchester will meet at the new Wembley Stadium for the Carabao Cup.

Ye Yifeng sat on the bench, but he was still in the limelight.

Since he is on the bench, he must have a chance to appear.

Red Devils fans are in a heavy mood and have no optimism about the game.

There is only one question: can Manchester City kill the suspense of the game before Ye Yifeng comes on the field!

Although Manchester United still put on a 442 formation, the overall style of play is dominated by defensive counterattacks.

Manchester City are at their best.

Pep Guardiola stood on the sidelines and watched the game, hoping that his team could seal the win early.

What he even thought in his heart was: to dominate the game and let Ye Yifeng lose the opportunity to appear.

If City had taken a three-goal lead over United before 60 minutes, Michael Carrick would certainly not have brought on Ye Yifeng again.

As soon as the game began, Manchester City immediately took the initiative on the pitch and launched a bombardment, supplemented by high pressing to maintain a fast tempo and high pressure.

Manchester United's overall formation shrank in the half, resisting the opposition's stormy attack.

The four sapper midfielders were active in the defence, with Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford involved for the most part but also running forward in search of opportunities at every transition.

In fact, Manchester City has not faced the situation of Manchester United's midfield being full of hardness this season, and today's final suddenly encountered the difficult situation of Manchester United's four major engineering midfielders to protect the defensive line, and they were also a little helpless in attack.

Manchester United have largely switched their counter-attacking tactics under Michael Carrick, but they have not been waiting for their opponents to make mistakes for long periods of time.

That doesn't mean they don't have enough defensive strength.

If there is any hidden danger, it must be Maguire, who replaced the starter after Kounde's suspension.

And the big four, Fred, McTominay, Adams, Tielemans.

Creativity is really limited, but defense can make mobility full.

If Manchester City want to control the tempo, whatever.

However, if Manchester City wants to speed up, the midfield joint defense and defenders can basically form more defense and less encirclement.

Manchester City can't help but be a little impetuous when they can't attack for a long time.

When they began to try to disrupt United's defence with long-range shots, in the 38th minute, Foden cut inside and was just about to shoot from distance, but Tielemans broke the ball.

Jadon Sancho quickly played a local cross with Rashford after receiving the ball in front, and after the pass and run, the situation opened up, and Sancho went up front to push forward with a counter-attacking attack.

Dribbling all the way to the edge of the penalty area and then passing the ball to Rashford, who ran diagonally to complete the offside position, the latter took advantage of the situation to complete the adjustment on the right rib of the penalty area and fired a powerful shot.

Although Ederson touched the football, the ball was too fast, refracted from the underside of his arm and bounced into the goal!

The Manchester City fans in the stadium looked confused!

Unexpectedly, they were the first to be breached.

The camera locked on Ye Yifeng's face intentionally or unintentionally.

I don't know if it's a hint that he doesn't need to play, or if it's saying that Manchester United can break through Manchester City without him.

Carrick clenched his fists and raised his arms, although there was no smile on his face, but his whole state was clearly inspired by the goal!

Pep Guardiola's expression is not very good-looking.

At this time, I realized that even if it was a team that played in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, Manchester City could not easily break through the opponent's defense and bully wantonly.

Manchester United is not the strongest in Europe, but when the head of the turtle shrinks, it does become a difficult bone to gnaw, and when it can't bite down, it breaks its teeth, but splashes its own blood.

After taking the lead, United further strengthened their defence.

The defensive line was in danger for a while, and the half-time was over.

Manchester United 1:0 Manchester City.

At this time, Manchester City fans were no longer optimistic, but very nervous.

Probably the appearance of the Great Demon King has entered the countdown stage!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In order to equalize as soon as possible, Manchester City's physical effort was beyond imagination, De Bruyne frequently and quickly kicked the ball in front, and the diagonal transfer of mid-to-long distances was dazzling.

United's defence was constantly being torn apart and the defence was exhausted.

When United had a good chance to counter-attack, the Manchester City players decisively committed fouls to delay.

When Walker brought down Marcus Rashford by almost chasing back to become the last defender, Carrick was directly angry at the referee's mercy and only gave him a yellow card!

Therefore, he was also given a verbal warning by the referee.

In the 68th minute of the game, when Torres received Cancelo's cross in the penalty area and fell in the penalty area, the referee blew the whistle and blew a penalty!

Penalty Maguire pushes for a foul!

Maguire was booked for protesting.

Red Devils fans were also unhappy with the referee's decision, and the new Wembley Stadium booed the sky!

De Bruyne took the penalty and withstood the huge pressure and scored hard!

Manchester City finally equalised!

1:1.

Pep Guardiola gestured on the sidelines to make the team work harder and strive for a comeback as soon as possible!

The Red Devils fans were unhappy, but they were soon in high spirits.

The camera locked on Ye Yifeng's body for a short time.

Ye Yifeng warmed up on the sidelines!

Manchester City fans couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps when they saw him warming up.

Red Devils fans, on the other hand, were instantly emboldened.

The Great Demon King is coming!

In the 72nd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng came on to replace McTuominay.

The first thing he did when he appeared on the stage was to take the captain's armband that was passed down to his teammates one by one and put it on his arm.

Guardiola is a little messy at this time.

Whether there is Ye Yifeng or not, this is the difference between the drastic changes in the situation!

Are Manchester City going to pull back?

If they withdraw, wouldn't it be tantamount to telling everyone that they were afraid of Ye Yifeng?

But even if everyone knows that Manchester City will definitely be afraid of Ye Yifeng, it can't be too obvious.

It's too demoralizing.

When the judgment is constantly suffering, it is chaotic!

Instead, Pep Guardiola gestured decisively to his team.

Keep on the assault!

Manchester United have taken up a striker, but they have also removed McTominay, and the defense has been weakened in comparison.

Pep Guardiola doesn't believe they can't beat Manchester United!

Manchester United made substitutions, but the tactics did not change.

Or a defensive counterattack.

At this time, Carrick will certainly not change in the general direction.

Because Manchester United have been passive from the beginning of the game.

In this situation, the initiative is not in their hands at all.

It is also unrealistic to expect Ye Yifeng to come up and immediately snatch control of the midfield.

Manchester City continued to attack wildly, and Ye Yifeng first assisted the team to strengthen the defense after coming on the field, and did not let the defense line mess up.

Although Manchester City does not seem to be afraid of Manchester United in terms of posture, they have actually restrained themselves in attack.

Therefore, the offensive threat is not as good as before.

After 85 minutes of the game, Ye Yifeng gradually got better.

A wave of counter-attacking attacks made City's defence extremely tense, and Gundogan was booked for a foul on him.

Seeing that the game is about to enter injury time.

When Manchester City was preparing to stabilize the scene, Ye Yifeng waved his hand and led the brothers in the midfield to launch a wave of strong counter-robbery!

This was Carrick's pre-match tactical arrangement.

When it comes to squad depth, Manchester United is inferior to Manchester City, so if it comes to extra time, the chances of winning are bound to be lower than that of their opponents.

Against the backdrop of Ye Yifeng playing with an injury, Manchester United must settle the battle in regulation time.

It's either life or death.

Horizontal and vertical is a knife!

If Manchester United splits the air, it will be a must-kill blow from Manchester City.

If it's really dead, Carrick will admit it!

Manchester United's squad also agreed with this tactical design.

So since Ye Yifeng appeared on the scene, they have been waiting for a signal.

Regular counter-attacks or regular play.

But when Ye Yifeng began to take the initiative to press forward for a counter-robbery, Manchester United was almost fully dispatched!

It's been brewing for a long time, just for this earth-shattering blow!

When Ye Yifeng failed to press Rodri, Manchester City also wanted to organize a fast attack in the midfield, but De Bruyne was surrounded and Fred immediately passed to the left after breaking the ball.

Luke Shaw stops the ball on the flank and then sends in a through ball.

Rashford crosses the ball into the middle of the pitch in response to the flank.

Ye Yifeng rushed to kill, and even stopped and rushed in the direction of the forbidden area.

Dias and Stoneton were close to each other and immediately closed the door to defend.

Ye Yifeng sent out the diagonal plug just right.

Sancho cut inside and slotted into the right flank of the penalty area to form a one-on-one shot.

He slowed down his pace as Stones turned in pursuit and goalkeeper Ederson dropped out of the corner to block the angle.

Sancho suddenly smashed the ball back and then passed it diagonally.

passed the ball back to Ye Yifeng again.

At this time, Ye Yifeng, who had just entered the penalty area, handled the ball very simply.

The only difficulty is precision.

A right-footed shot lobbles the ball towards the top left corner of the goal.

Edson can't go back to blocking.

Dias moved the first time and tried to block but failed.

When the ball crossed a small arc and fell into the top left corner of the goal, the new Wembley Stadium roared with joy!

Red Devils fans are ecstatic!

This is also Ye Yifeng's first goal in the League Cup this season, and the 99% probability will be the only goal!
