Chapter 731: Mourinho almost got into a big fight in the locker room!
The red card finally appeared.
The red card illustrates the brutality and chaos of the derby.
In the following game, United took advantage of their numerical advantage to launch a wave of attacking surges.
However, under Manchester City's stubborn defense, they still failed to score.
United's closest they came to scoring came in the 44th minute of the first half.
Anthony Martial crosses from the left and Marcus Rashford shoots in front of goal!
However, this shot was miraculously blocked by Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson with his right foot, and Fellaini's follow-up shot was blocked by Stones standing on the goal line with his foot!
De Bruyne's quick eyes cleared the ball off the touchline and finally defused the goalmouth crisis.
After three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
The Manchester City Stadium commentator exclaimed: "At the end of the first half, Manchester City temporarily took a 5-0 lead with an outstanding performance on the attacking line, making the game lose the suspense.
City's attacking performance in the first half was impressive, continuing to maintain their good form this season, constantly pressuring the Manchester United defence, which eventually led to the collapse of the United defence.
Lee's performances remain consistent and impressive, with City's five goals all directly linked to him.
Of course, this also has something to do with Manchester City's offensive tactics, and the current Manchester City's offensive tactics are centered on him!
The first goal came from his assist, as Raheem Sterling calmly slotted the ball into the United net after a solo attempt.
It was like a goal that unblocked City's attack, and in just four minutes, City scored three goals to seal the win!
In the following matches, the two sides clashed many times in the game, and even almost got into a big fight.
Not only that, but the coaches of the two sides also had a verbal altercation, and the fans even fought in the stands!
It's a hot city derby......
City weren't satisfied with a 3-0 scoreline, Lee created a penalty in the ensuing game and De Bruyne made it 4-0!
Soon after, Manchester City took advantage of the victory, Lee broke through the bag of two Manchester United strikers more than 40 meters away from the goal, and then got rid of a player and came with an earth-shattering long-range shot more than 30 meters away from the goal!
Soccer ball hangs in the dead end!
The score came to 5-0!
Judging from the attack of both sides in the first half, Manchester City clearly had the upper hand and were more capable of taking chances.
Manchester United are not without chances to score, but whether it is Rashford or other players, they failed to take advantage of their chances in front of goal and missed the goal!
Defensively, Manchester United's dense defense simply could not limit Manchester City's tidal attack, losing its previous tenacity and tenacity, and being penetrated by Manchester City many times!
Lee has made Manchester United's defence miserable.
Before the game, both the United manager and the players were saying that they were going to use a new defensive approach to contain Lee tonight, and judging by the results, they failed.
We did find some changes in United's defence, with one being to cut off the link between De Blane and Lee and not giving Lee a chance to start.
But that still can't limit Lee's play, a conundrum that Mourinho and his players have not been able to solve. ”
The Sky Sports commentator exclaimed: "The first half was finally over in chaos, and Manchester City locked the score at 5-0 with their powerful attacking ability!
This has set a new record for the largest half-time difference in a Manchester derby!
In the first half, the referee took out a total of seven yellow cards and one red card, which shows how fierce the competition between the two sides was in the first half!
This also set a new record for red and yellow cards in Manchester derby!
I don't know what the game will be like in the second half......"
The group of reporters on the sidelines discussed:
"Damn, Manchester City has beaten Manchester United into a weak team!"
"Are Manchester United underdogs? Have you asked the other teams in the Premier League? ”
Before the two reporters could argue, the voices of the other reporters overpowered them, thinking that the topics of the other reporters also aroused their interest.
"Li: This is the end of the half?"
"It should be, according to Guardiola's way of employing people, he should be let off in advance, after all, the victory has been locked......"
"Well, I think it's the same, the Manchester United players are obviously playing with real fire, and Lee himself is the target of the Manchester United players, so if this continues, Lee is likely to be injured!"
"That's right! Let's not forget the match between Manchester City and Wolves, Pep Guardiola just replaced De Bruyne a little slower, and as a result, De Bruyne missed a lot of games! ”
……
On the way back to the locker room, players from both sides got into an argument in the players' tunnel and almost got into a fight.
In the end, it was suppressed by the coaching teams of both sides.
This set the stage for a larger conflict to follow.
The away dressing room, the quiet was horrible.
Mourinho watched his players try to suppress the anger in his heart, 0-5, for him, this is the most unsuccessful half of his career!
In the 2010-11 season, on November 30, 2010, in the first leg of the Spanish national derby La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid was slaughtered by Barcelona at Camp Nou!
It was the heaviest defeat since Jose Mourinho became manager.
But in that game, Real Madrid conceded only two goals in the first half, despite losing five goals, unlike today, when they conceded five goals in the first half!
For Jose Mourinho, it was the heaviest half of his career.
The game played like this, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.
"Our defense line has been beaten into a sieve by the other side!"
Mourinho broke the silence in the dressing room and shouted at his players: "What did we do in the first half? ”
The players either covered their faces with towels or stared at their toes.
"What are my defensive tactics? You tell me! ”
The Portuguese are already going crazy.
"I want you to cut off the ties between the two of them, have you done that? You put all your energy into how to fight each other! ”
Matic couldn't stand it and said: "We just did what you asked, but Li ......"
Mourinho was even more angry, and there was a frantic output at Matic: "You did what I asked, how did Lee's three goals go in?"
You did what I asked, and who passed Lee's third ball?
You did what I asked, why did you defend Lee in the penalty area without a bag and let him shoot at will in the box? ”
Luke Shaw looked up at Mourinho, who didn't look at him and continued to output to Nemanja Matic: "I told you to elbow? You know that hit Lee in the face, you can get out of this stadium?
When did I ask you to hit someone? ”
Nemanja Matic took a deep breath, looked up at Mourinho and said: "Coach, you think this will ease your guilt, then go ahead!" ”
"What did you say?!"
This sentence ignited the anger in Mourinho's heart.
If it weren't for the assistants holding him back, the scandal would have been born in this locker room.
