Chapter 0559, grab points! It's overwhelming!
Standing on the sidelines, Guardiola was in a bad mood.
He was very depressed at the moment.
For him, winning or losing a game is not so important.
But if you lose a game that proves your football philosophy, then it's very uncomfortable.
In his heart, he hated Mourinho's football philosophy.
If stubborn defense is defined as the ultimate means to victory, then what else is so fascinating about football?
But even so, when Mourinho walked towards him, he still put away his bad mood and shook hands with Mourinho with a gentlemanly demeanor.
"You won."
"No, you should have said, 'You won'. It's not that I'm doing a good job, it's that we're doing a good job. ”
"I think they did a good job and if it wasn't for this group of desperate guys, you wouldn't have won today."
"Then why don't you say, if you give xia to you, you can still win by a big score."
"There's no problem with that."
"Well, then I'm going to thank myself."
"Thanks for what?"
"Thanks to my charisma, I was able to attract such a talented player."
"Huh."
"Then again, you guys are amazing. Every time I play against your team, I'm prone to heart disease. ”
"Forget it, you cheap and good guy. Today you win, see you next round at the Etihad! We're going to win you! ”
"It doesn't matter, I'll stick to it then, anyway, we already have a lot of points lead in the league, so there's no need to fight with you."
"You ......"
Pep Guardiola was so angry that he turned around and left, and Mourinho laughed!
At Old Trafford, he deserves to be so presumptuous!
Led Manchester United to win the game, he is entitled to be so excited!
We won!
In the live broadcast room at this time, Alan Shearer was determined.
"There is no doubt that this season's Premier League belongs to Manchester United again.
"After winning the Manchester derby, Manchester United's lead has reached as many as eight points.
"In this highly competitive season, Manchester United still maintain top competitiveness and advantage.
"Even though Manchester City were also playing consistently and well, they still couldn't close the gap on Manchester United.
'Eight points down before Christmas, their dream of winning the title this season is getting farther and farther away.
And Tottenham, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Arsenal behind him are even more ups and downs.
"I'm pretty sure Manchester United will defend their league title at the end of the season!"
Alan Shearer's words are firm, and even if it's just a prediction, he has confidence in United.
Carragher on the side wanted to refute, but opened his mouth and still didn't speak.
Say what?
He was not optimistic about Manchester United before the game, and as a result, Manchester United finally beat Manchester City.
With an eight-point gap, it is indeed possible to defend the title.
Forget it, let's say a few words, and save this partner from discussing the current situation of Liverpool with me, and I will be even more depressed......
After the Manchester derby, Mourinho was full of beauty.
But the pressure on him is still not small.
Because the schedule for the next period of time is too intensive, the intensity of one game in three days until the end of the year.
Although we have won the game now, if there are ups and downs in form or injuries in the future, the team is likely to be in trouble.
There are often championship-winning teams that turn the tables around Christmas and end up losing the title.
So Mourinho is cautious.
In the next few games, Mourinho did not over-consume the physical fitness of the players for the sake of results, but fully adjusted the physical fitness of the players and rotated a large area.
Even if it could affect the record, Mourinho has to do it.
Now the only thing he worries about is injuries, as long as the players are healthy, he dares to challenge for any title!
Three days after the win over Manchester City, Old Trafford is back in the Premier League.
In the seventeenth round of the Premier League, Manchester United's opponent this time is Bournemouth.
As a mediocre team, Bournemouth have been in good form in the last two seasons.
Last season they finished in the top 10 and finished ninth.
It's even close to a Europa League spot.
There has been a slight dip in form this season, but even so, he is still in 11th place.
There are no weak teams in the Premier League, and the main emphasis is on this type of team.
Even if they are as strong as Manchester United, they are cautious in their play.
In this game, many of Manchester United's main players were rested in rotation, and many young players were dispatched.
But even so, Bournemouth still retreated decisively and played defensive counter-attacks.
Their tactics were resolute.
In a 4-4-1-1 formation, the four midfielders are all good at defending.
Once retreated, it's basically a pure iron bucket formation of eight-man defenders.
Mourinho looked at it with a headache.
He's really annoyed to face this kind of opponent.
His manager, Eddie Howe, has been a Bournemouth player since he was a player and is a native of Bournemouth's academy.
He then retired at Bournemouth and became assistant coach and became head coach.
He left briefly in 2011 but spent most of his time at Bournemouth.
In the decade from 2008 to 2017, Bournemouth has become what he wants it to be.
Mourinho still recognizes this coach.
This team has Mourinho's acquaintances.
Goalkeeper Begovic, who was previously brought in by Jose Mourinho at Chelsea, moved to Bournemouth this summer.
Although he is not a world-class goalkeeper, he has no absolute weaknesses in defense, and is a goalkeeper with balanced skills and stable condition.
The young central defender Ake in front of him is also Mourinho's old player and a defender who was once very optimistic.
However, during his 'taxi' career at Chelsea, he didn't get many opportunities, so he moved to Bournemouth.
His defensive ability, his passing skills, are all top-notch.
At the age of 22, he has a promising future.
There are also defenders Daniels, Francis, Adam Smith and other players, all very good players, and Bournemouth have done a pretty good job of defending overall.
Manchester United faced a big backlash in this game.
They were on the offensive but struggled to break down the Bournemouth defence.
Goalkeeper Begovic's high and low blocks, and Ake's continuous defensive breaks, all made Mourinho can't stop admiring.
It's a good defensive player from Chelsea......
It's a pity, it's the opponent.
Especially young Ake, it's really good.
Talk to the club next year and try to poach him in the summer to succeed Ashley Young.
In the first half, United had 12 chances on goal, with eight shots on target, which was a good statistic.
Unfortunately, none of them were converted into goals.
In the second half, Manchester United still attacked with all their might.
But it continued to be fruitless.
Bournemouth's two counter-attacks were of low quality and their forward line was poor.
simply, simply retreated completely.
As long as you can get a point at Old Trafford, it's good.
After all, so far this season, no Premier League team has been able to pick up points at Old Trafford.
The draw is also good.
But Mourinho can't accept a draw!
