Chapter 157 Mr. 100 Million Showdown

At halftime, Guardiola did not change the team's tactics, let alone make substitutions.

Manchester City are prepared to adapt to change.

But United's substitutions were quite big.

Mourinho immediately used up two substitutions at the start of the second half, with Marcus Rashford coming on for Jesse Lingard and Ander Herrera coming on for Mkhitaryan.

In the first half, Jesse Lingard and Mkhitaryan's performances were not satisfactory.

After the substitution, there was also a change in the positioning of Manchester United's players.

Ander Herrera went to partner Marouane Fellaini in a back two, with Paul Pogba coming up as a midfielder and Wayne Rooney switching to a right midfield.

Such substitution adjustments did have a certain effect.

After the start of the second half, United launched another wave of onslaught, starting the game as in the first half.

Although the whole Manchester City team was mentally prepared, they were still a little scrambling.

Pogba was extremely active, frequently attacking Manchester City's defence with the ball.

In the 51st minute, Pogba tried to rush to the Manchester City penalty area with the ball, and happened to meet Zhang Chaoqiang, who was returning to the defense.

"Here, our long-awaited Mr. 100 million head-to-head showdown!"

"But it's different from what everyone imagined, this is Pogba in charge of attacking with the ball and Zhang in charge of defending."

The England commentator instantly became excited.

Mr. 100 million showdown, this is an important highlight of the Manchester derby.

Pogba burst forward to the right with the ball, and Zhang Chaoqiang quickly moved to keep up.

When he saw that the opponent was trying to smash the ball and change direction, Zhang Chaoqiang did not hesitate to stretch out his foot and poke it, taking advantage of the gap in the change of direction to make a gambling steal.

Zhang Chaoqiang is not a defensive player, and defense is not his specialty, so he chose to defend Pogba in this way.

Even if the defense fails, there will be someone to fill in.

I didn't expect it to work.

Maybe Pogba didn't expect Zhang Chaoqiang to be so decisive.

"Good shot!! Nice steal!! ”

"Super Zhang counterattacks with the ball!!"

Pogba's ball was stabbed off with the tip of his right foot, Zhang Chaoqiang quickly caught up and charged directly with the ball.

Stepping on Hot Wheels with both feet, running with the ball all the way.

But it was soon intercepted by Fellaini.

Zhang Chaoqiang flicked his feet lightly and went straight past the big Belgian man.

continued to advance more than ten meters, but was blocked by Luke Shaw again.

Zhang Chaoqiang jumped up lightly, pulled the ball continuously with both feet, and passed another person in a smooth Marseille slalom.

was blocked continuously, and Zhang Chaoqiang's dribbling speed never increased to the maximum.

Pogba, who was cut off the ball, tried desperately to chase back all the way and showed a very positive performance.

So when Zhang Chaoqiang approached the Manchester United penalty area with the ball, Pogba also chased back quickly, just in front of Zhang Chaoqiang.

"The second Mr. 100 million showdown is coming, and this time the two sides have completed the offensive and defensive conversion!"

Zhang Chaoqiang stuck to the football at his feet, approaching step by step.

Pogba did not use a delaying defence, but decisively stretched out his foot to break the ball.

That's how he was cut off by Zhang Chaoqiang just now.

Now he's going to get the ball back in the same way.

This is obviously hot-blooded, regardless of it.

The reason why Zhang Chaoqiang dared to stretch his feet before was because there were teammates behind him.

But Pogba has no teammates behind him.

So this is in the hands of Zhang Chaoqiang.

The moment Pogba stretched his foot, Zhang Chaoqiang's prepared right foot gently pushed.

The ball passed right under Pogba's crotch.

"Beautiful!! Wear a crotch!! ”

Witnessed by countless fans around the world, Zhang Chaoqiang, known as Mr. 100 million yuan, passed Pogba, another known as Mr. 100 million yuan, by wearing a crotch.

According to the boastful narrative of the English media, the Manchester City duo have been in the limelight in the summer transfer market.

So this Manchester derby, only single-digit countries such as Moldova, Cuba, and North Korea in the world did not broadcast it.

As the football passed through, Zhang Chaoqiang also crossed past Pogba's side.

Pogba's reaction was quite fast, and he immediately raised his hand to try to pull Zhang Chaoqiang.

But he hurriedly raised his hand and just tugged at Zhang Chaoqiang's armpit jersey, but he couldn't stop it at all.

Zhang Chaoqiang's crotch caught up with him in two steps and successfully got the football.

By this time, De Gea had already abandoned the goal, intending to clear the ball first.

Zhang Chaoqiang just picked it lightly on his tiptoes.

The ball ran like a spoon over De Gea's head and into the net.

"gooooooooalβ€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”" Countless commentaries jumped up and screamed.

"The ball is in!! Super Zhang rode through the level and scored a very beautiful goal!! ”

"Zhang stole Pogba in the first half and ran all the way with the ball, and in front of the Manchester United penalty area, he made a crotch pass to Pogba, who was chasing back, and then scored with a one-handed shot."

"The big showdown of Mr. 100 million yuan that everyone has been hoping to see has finally appeared, and the result is that Super Zhang defeated Pogba!"

"Manchester City conceded the first goal in the first half, but Super Zhang contributed a brace with a superhuman performance and directly led the team to a reversal!"

"I wonder if Manchester United fans at this moment would have felt that it would have been better to put the transfer fee on Super Zhang in the first place?"

β€»β€»β€»

After Zhang Chaoqiang picked the ball into the goal, he rushed directly to the sidelines excitedly and knelt passionately in front of the Manchester United stands.

For the convenience of Asian fans, the Manchester derby is played in the afternoon of UK time.

At this time, the sun is setting, and the various banners in the stands look listless.

Especially "Zlatan + Paul>>Chinese!! "That one, half-drooping and lifeless.

"That's great, Zhang."

"You're amazing."

"It's like God possessing a body."

"Zhang, you blew up Mr. 100 million on the other side to the ground."

Accompanied by Zhang Chaoqiang's sliding kneeling, his teammates also rushed over and sent him all kinds of cheers and blessings.

On the sidelines, the Manchester City coaching staff was also cheering passionately.

Soon referee Clattenburg walked over and motioned for the City players to go back and prepare for kick-off.

It was clearly the United players who put pressure on him again.

The game restarted and United were in a hurry to equalise.

But the mentality of the Manchester City players has stabilized a lot.

In the 60th minute, Kevin De Bruyne took advantage of United's pressure to send a beautiful through ball to give Raheem Sterling a good chance to shoot.

Raheem Sterling received the ball and hit the ball in time, and overall he played well, but he couldn't break through De Gea's ten fingers.

Jose Mourinho quickly arranged for Anthony Martial to warm up on the sidelines and prepare to continue attacking players.

But before Anthony Martial could come up, Manchester City killed the game.

In the 71st minute, Zhang Chaoqiang, David Silva and Fernandinho completed a series of triangular passes, and then stuffed the ball straight into the Manchester United penalty area.

Raheem Sterling was in the right position to pick up the ball and hit the ball from an unmarked position.

This time he opted for a trickier angle, and the ball finally got around De Gea's fingertips.

But the United goalpost didn't give face, and bounced the ball back with a bang.

Before Blind stepped forward to clear the ball, De Bruyne, who stepped forward in the middle, met the ball and pumped it directly into the goal.

'It's over, it's a game-killing goal, Manchester United don't have a chance.'

"Most of the high-profile Manchester derbies will end with a Manchester City victory."

"And the duel between two gentlemen with 100 million yuan, Manchester City is also better."

"Manchester City's Mr. 100 million scored a brace, but Manchester United's Mr. 100 million is just a goal backdrop."

Although the England commentator has made up his mind, the game has to be played as usual.

Jose Mourinho replaced Anthony Martial and made a last-ditch effort, but it didn't have much effect.

Manchester City deliberately kept the ball to delay time, just to practice the rhythm of possession.

Eighty minutes later, there was a little accident on the sidelines.

United's pass was cleared off the touchline by Fernandinho and flew right towards Pep Guardiola.

So the melon bald reached out and picked it up, and took the ball in his hand.

Rooney, who rushed to the sidelines to prepare for kick-off, thought that Guardiola deliberately delayed Manchester United's kick-off time, and directly reached out to push people, causing a little skirmish between the two sides.

However, Clattenburg quickly separated the players and allowed the game to continue.

The last few minutes allowed United to struggle and never recover.

The score of 1:3 remained until the end.

Zhang Chaoqiang doubled, De Bruyne made contributions, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3-1 away, and successfully completed the first four consecutive wins of the Premier League.
