The game had only just begun, and Manchester City were besieging Manchester United.

Li Chuanqi's free-kick almost broke the door for Manchester United.

Manchester City corner kick, David Silva directly sent the football into the penalty area, Li Chuanqi was sandwiched by two Manchester United players, and completed the header with difficulty!

The soccer ball is high over the crossbar.

United finally got the ball.

After the restart, Manchester City pressed high and the atmosphere on the pitch was very tense.

With the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, Guardiola's tactical thinking has changed to a certain extent, adding high pressing and quick counter-attacks to the pure pass-and-control tactics.

Its tactical characteristics are very similar to those of the Spanish team.

Some believe that his change is due to the success of the Spanish team in the World Cup.

He's studying Bosque.

On the pitch, the players on both sides competed very fiercely, and under the pressure of Manchester City's midfield, Manchester United's back line directly made a big foot and transferred the football to the front to attack.

In this way, the success rate is not high.

Stones snatched the ball down and moved it to goalkeeper Ederson.

With the ball back at the feet of Manchester City, United changed tactics this time around, with most of the players returning to their own half.

The Sky Sports commentator said: "Although Mourinho has a four-three-three attacking formation, he is playing defensive counter-attacking tactics! It's a big battle of offense and defense! ”

In the sixth minute of the first half, De Bruyne seized the fleeting opportunity and smashed a diagonal pass through the Manchester United defence, and the football flew towards the left rib of the penalty area!

Sterling flew to kill and shot directly!

Soccer ball misses the goal!

Three minutes later, City made a tackle near midfield and De Bruyne instigated a quick counter-attack!

After Li Chuanqi got the football on the right side, he just formed a way to get rid of it on the side, and was directly knocked out of the field by Lindelof.

What people didn't expect was such an obvious foul, but the referee didn't give a penalty.

"Shhhh ……”

There were huge boos at the Intihad Stadium, and Manchester City fans were very unhappy with the referee's decision.

Li Chuanqi returned to the field, Lindelof bumped Li Chuanqi without the ball, and said in his ear: "Your body is too bad, I haven't exerted my strength yet, you have already flown out of the field!" ”

As he spoke, he shook his index finger and held his mouth with a mocking face.

Li Chuanqi has been in the professional arena for several years, and since he became famous, he has often encountered such provocations on the field.

Their purpose is very clear, which is to provoke him and make him lose his mind.

"Are you sure you want to provoke me?"

Li Chuanqi looked at Lindelof.

Lindelof was slightly stunned, as if he remembered something.

But how could a man back down.

"What about you off?"

Lindelof looked directly at Li Chuanqi.

Li Chuanqi gave him a thumbs up and quickly returned to the square half, because Manchester United were attacking!

Lindelof glanced at Li Chuanqi's back, and had an ominous premonition in his heart, shouldn't he taunt and provoke him?

Soon after, Lindelof received a pass from his teammate and Li Chuanqi immediately began to press.

Lindelof knew how terrifying Li Chuanqi's steal success rate was, and immediately transferred the football to Fellaini's feet.

After the pass, Lindelof started to cut forward, and he had to play with Ferini.

"Smack! ……”

Fellaini crossed diagonally and Lindelof stretched out his right foot, ready to stop the ball.

Just as he stretched out his right foot, a huge force came from his left shoulder!

The sheer force made Lindelof lose his center of gravity.

"Ahh ……”

Lindelof let out a scream and fell to the turf.

"Foul!"

The Manchester United players yelled at the referee, but the referee still did not blow the whistle and made a gesture to continue the game!

After Li Chuanqi knocked over Lindelof, he took control of the football!

The Manchester City sports station commentator said: "The referee was very loose tonight, and he didn't blow a penalty for this kind of physical confrontation!" ”

After Li Chuanqi took control of the football, the three Manchester United players closest to him were about to form an encirclement.

】

It was to nip City's swift counter-attack in the cradle.

Li Chuanqi did not have the ambition to break through the encirclement of Manchester United players, but chose to pass.

Like an arrow, the ball flew out of the encirclement and headed for Sterling on the left!

"Good shot!"

The Sky Sports commentator yelled: "It's a scalpel version of a precise pass!" Football is like a scalpel from Manchester United's encirclement, cutting through Manchester United's defense alive!

Lee once again showed his passing skills, tearing through the United defence and creating great scoring opportunities for his team-mates! ”

The Manchester City sports commentator exclaimed: "Lee is the kind of player who can pose a threat to the opposition defence at any time! Let's see if Raheem Sterling can make the most of this great opportunity this time! ”

On the pitch, Sterling is like a fast horse, leading the football towards the Manchester United penalty area!

Single Knife!

United's defence was in disarray, with Raheem Sterling in hot pursuit.

Manchester City fans once again saw the hope of scoring a goal and let out a huge shout!

After entering the penalty area, facing the attacking De Gea, Sterling calmly fired a low shot!

Like an arrow, the ball clung to the turf, passed through De Gea's right and flew into the empty goal!

The Yin Tihad Stadium instantly erupted in earth-shattering cheers and screams!

Manchester City fans have turned the stadium into a blue sea of joy!

"Sterling!"

The Manchester City sports commentator exclaimed: "Raheem Sterling took Lee's clever pass and formed a single knife to finally send the football into the Manchester United goal!"

1 to 0!

Manchester City's attack finally got the goal! ”

The Sky Sports commentator shouted: "The ball is in!" Raheem Sterling finishes the score! The score became 1-0!

When Lee stole the ball from Falini's feet, United's defensive focus was on him.

The intention of the United defenders was clear, to stifle City's quick counter-attack with a blockage, either to snatch the ball from Lee's feet or for him to pass it back to the rest of his team-mates.

However, Lee completed the pass in the encirclement of Manchester United and fed Sterling a cannonball!

Raheem Sterling didn't waste Lee's brilliant pass and lived up to the expectations of Pep Guardiola and the Manchester City fans by slotting the ball into the goal of David De Gea!

Manchester City at home continued their good form at home!

Jose Mourinho's side, so far, have been average in both attack and defence.

Although they put a lot of emphasis on defense and stockpiled a lot of troops at the back, this time they failed to contain Lee in the first place, causing Lee to pass the football.

As for the offense...... United have failed to create a dangerous attack so far.

Manchester United's attack is very simple, basically playing big at the back, regardless of whether the strikers can get the ball or not.

Even if the striker gets the ball, Manchester United's attack has no routine, relying entirely on the individual performance of the striker.

Jose Mourinho's side are really not very attacking. ”
