Chapter 716: Winger Kai is online
The Manchester City players began to celebrate excitedly.
It was less than 3-0 at half-time.
You know, their opponent is Manchester United!
This is the king of the Premier League!
Similarly, United have never suffered such a heavy defeat in the last three or four seasons.
Third in the league this season is not only their worst result in consecutive seasons.
If they don't win the FA Cup, it will be the first time in many years that Manchester United have lost all four of the seasons without a single trophy!
It was almost one of United's darkest seasons!
Cristiano Ronaldo: When I came, it was dark? Black me, right?
Although but ...... It's really embarrassing for some players.
That's right, we're talking about Saha.
Saha: ......
Forty-first minute.
United tried to hit a goal back in the closing stages of the first half.
As long as they score a goal, they still have hope.
Three goals in the half and two goals in the half are completely different concepts.
Bang!
Ryan Giggs sends in a cross from the left.
Ruud van Nistelrooy volleys a difficult volley over the crossbar.
Kompany put Ruud van Nistelrooy under pressure.
Forty-fourth minute.
Ruud van Nistelrooy drops back and sends in a diagonal pass.
But Cech came out too fast.
Cristiano Ronaldo can only grab a point to push, but he can only push on Cech.
The ball bounced back, and Ronaldo immediately made up for it.
Sitting in Cech, he also lunged to the side almost at the same time to make another save.
Two in a row!
Petr Cech yyds!
"Oh! Pity! What a pity! ”
"Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score in two consecutive hits."
'Cech was a god of defence today!'
"He seems to have installed countless transparent glass in front of Manchester City's goal, and although he can't see it, he is able to block all the shots of Manchester United players again and again."
"He deserves to be the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this year."
'From the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League to the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, Cech only took one season! We wonder why he has changed so much. ”
'The camera shows Kasper Schmeichel, who is Petr Cech's goalkeeper coach. The Manchester United legend's last trophy before retiring was won by beating Manchester United for Manchester City. ”
Is his disciple now able to do the same? Let's wait and see. ”
The game then went to half-time.
There were tactical adjustments on both sides, but no personnel adjustments.
After all, it's the last two games at the end of the season, and the strongest players must have been on the market for a long time.
After the start of the second half.
City's tactical thinking is also clear.
The main focus is on passing control.
Drag time.
The reason, of course, is that Manchester City have a UEFA Cup final to play in four days' time.
They want to avoid attrition and especially injuries and illnesses.
The last time the two sides met, Grumpy Keane kicked David Silva's leg.
Manchester United are desperate to grab the ball, but City have a lot of control.
They have been in the top five in Europe for combined possession this season.
And their combined possession rate in the second half of the season is as high as the first in Europe!
Exactly thirty minutes.
Manchester United are doing nothing.
The game kicks people drowsy.
Until the seventy-sixth minute.
Manchester City unilaterally declared the game going into garbage time.
Guardiola waved Maxa's big hand and connected the three.
Croatian teenager Mandzukic replaced Adriano.
Chinese Sun Jihai replaces Mai Kong.
Meritorious veteran Desailly replaces Yaya Toure.
Desailly came on and went to centre-back.
Thiago Silva, who played at centre-back, moved to midfield and formed a back pair with Mascherano.
Thiago Silva is an all-rounder at the back.
Neither he nor Mascherano can be called a first-class defender in the Premier League.
But the two of them work together and defensively are definitely no worse than any first-class midfielders.
They all have a very high ball quotient.
And they are both offensive and defensive.
Fabregas, meanwhile, moved towards the middle of the pitch and moved up front.
Torres moved from the left centre-forward position to the right, playing as a right winger.
Deng Kai, on the other hand, came from midfield to the left side of the team and played as a left winger.
Manchester City have changed their formation.
4213!
It's not like City didn't have such a formation.
When they were oppressed before, Yaya Toure would move backwards, a 4213.
But here's the problem...... The soul of this lineup, the only "1", has always been Deng Kai.
And this time, it was the teenager Cesc Fabregas.
Team brains!
Can he really do it?
Will Manchester City be too big?
In addition, Deng Kai is on the left wing, can he really dominate in the midfield position?
You are truly the number one player in the world.
But that doesn't mean you're the best in the world in any position.
Respect for science.
You let Zidane play as a central striker, Ronaldo as a midfielder, Figo and Rivaldo as a central defender, I'm afraid that's it.
How can you Deng Kai and De?
Huang Jianxiang: "Deng Kai is very rare to appear in the winger position. ”
"We can hardly find out from the official sources that he has an appearance record in this position."
"But as an absolute Kai fan, I have exclusive information here."
"Deng Kai used to play as a winger in the youth training of Sporting Lisbon, and his performance at that time was no worse than the team's twin star Cristiano Ronaldo at that time!"
Cristiano Ronaldo: ???
Eighty-first minute.
Saha, who had played a disastrous game, finally made a highlight.
He was on the wing of Ashley Young and had a cross in front of Thiago Silva.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's header is ferried.
Cristiano Ronaldo turned and volleyed in the middle of the box.
However, the linesman raised the flag for the first time.
Cristiano Ronaldo is offside!
Ronaldo looked at Ruud van Nistelrooy helplessly.
In fact, Ruud van Nistelrooy just didn't head the ball back, and Ronaldo was able to directly grab the goal.
But Fanny had to do that.
It's not really necessary.
Eighty-third minute.
Saha, who seemed to be playing with confidence, cut inside to challenge Thiago Silva this time.
The younger sister-in-law unequivocally stretched out her foot to complete the steal, and then passed to Deng Kai, who retreated to answer.
Saha turned and lunged at Deng Kai.
Deng Kai pulled the ball in a V shape, easily shook Saha away, and without waiting for Saha to turn around again, he directly pulled the ball from Saha's side and rushed out.
Shake you once, give you back!
Bang!
Deng Kai picked the ball up and took off on the wing.
After a brief moment of stunned, the corners of Saha's mouth lifted and he chased after him.
Specific speed?
That's right!
Although the speed of Tasa is not as fast as Ronaldo, he is also a first-class fast horse in the Premier League.
How can a mere midfielder be more ...... than him
Bang!
Deng Kai touched the ball one after another, and his speed increased again and again.
Saha followed all the way, but the distance between the two did not close in the slightest.
This led directly to a miscalculation on the part of right-back Gary Neville on United's side.
He thought Saha could put some defensive pressure on Deng Kai and entangle Deng Kai.
So Gary adducted in advance to prevent Deng Kai from passing the ball to Fabregas, who was in front of the ribs.
Outcome......
