Marcus Rashford's shot narrowly missed the net, and the United fans in the stands let out a sigh.

Applause ensued.

It's an encouragement and support for young strikers.

After all, he is a talent who came out of Carrington's training base, and Manchester United fans love him well.

Rashford looked back at Xia Xing and gave Xia Xing a thumbs up.

Xia Xing also applauded in response, praising the young brother's wonderful shot.

Just ten minutes into the game, United had two brilliant shots on goal and a goal.

At this time, Guardiola on the sidelines of the pitch vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

What's the situation at Manchester United today?

How does it feel like the style of the ball has changed?

And in the time that followed, he felt more and more deeply.

Manchester City continued to attack, while United continued to defend on the counter-attack.

It looks similar to the previous ones, but it's still very different.

Manchester United's defensive counter-attack, in particular, was very resolute.

Regardless of the number of troops invested or the extent of the attack, it is very much in a posture of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat.

However, Pep Guardiola is not afraid, after all, only Manchester United can only score more goals if they press out.

In the 19th minute of the game, Manchester City launched a series of short passes in front.

David Silva won the ball on the left and flicked forward to German winger Leroy Sane.

Sane's successive dribbling movements failed to shake off Darmian, and he passed the ball decisively.

However, this time he did not look for David Silva in the middle, because Xia Xing appeared next to the Spanish midfielder again.

The ball goes back to find Fernandinho, who is dribbling forward.

Now Manchester United are defending intensively, and Fei Bird assists in order to find more opportunities.

Pogba quickly stepped on and didn't give Fei a chance to break the game.

Although Pogba's defensive ability is average, his physical fitness is absolutely top-notch, and he has absolutely no problem with Fei Bird.

Fei Bird didn't love to fight either, and the ball was passed to the right and handed to Kevin De Bruyne.

De Bruyne's non-stop through ball is looking for Raheem Sterling, who is fast forward!

This time the pass was very fast, and it put the United defence under great pressure!

Raheem Sterling bursts into the box and crosses quickly near the baseline!

Half-high ball!

Sergio Aguero in the middle was extremely fast, and he was the first to kick in front of his national team teammate Marcos Rojo!

The ball is poked into the net!

The ball is in!

1 to 1!

Manchester City pull a goal back!

Pep Guardiola on the sidelines was smiling and applauding.

The visiting fans in the stands also cheered instantly.

However, they were soon silenced by the cheers from the home team's stands.

Tens of thousands of Manchester United fans shouted the Manchester United anthem and shouted the names of the Manchester United players!

This is Old Trafford!

I can't let you go wild!

Manchester City scored a goal and they were a little bit more reassured.

It seems that this is the case with Manchester United in this game, and the onslaught in the opening stage is just to scare people, and in the end it is not a poor defense and a goal conceded.

In the next period, their attacks intensified.

Scored a goal to equalize, and I was even more looking forward to overtaking the score.

But what they didn't expect was that Manchester United's attack was still fierce!

As long as Manchester City concedes a goal, Manchester United will quickly press all over the line!

It's as if they don't care about the space behind them!

If you have the ability, you will kill us!

The Manchester United fans' offensive was very uncomfortable for the Manchester City players.

Even Pep Guardiola on the sidelines was a little surprised.

Is this still the Mourinho he is familiar with?

Turning his head, Mourinho waved his right arm and encouraged his players to press forward boldly.

Dry!

Rush up and hard!

Soon, Manchester United were once again gaining something.

In the 29th minute of the game, Manchester United's brilliant header cleared the ball and the ball came to the feet of Herrera in midfield.

Herrera took the ball with his back and crossed to Luke Shaw.

Luke Shaw doesn't stop passing the ball diagonally, still looking for Xia Xing!

Manchester United's offensive and defensive pivot is Xia Xing, and everyone has great trust in him.

However, by the time Xia Xing received the ball, Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne had already pressed up.

Manchester City players are also very clear that the axis of Manchester United is now Xia Xing, as long as Xia Xing is stuck in the transition between attack and defense, Manchester United's counter-attacking threat will be reduced by at least half.

However, if you want to get stuck in Xia Xing, how can it be so easy?

Xia Xing received a pass from Luke Shaw sideways and squeezed De Bruyne with his back.

In terms of physical confrontation, De Bruyne defeated Xia Xing.

In the face of Bernardo Silva's kick on the other side, Xia Xing pulled the ball alternately with both feet, and suddenly accelerated diagonally and threw away space!

Although I couldn't get past two people, I had enough space!

Kick up and pass long!

The ball goes straight to the front!

Find Pogba!

Pogba received the ball steadily, and with a change of direction, he passed Fernandinho, who was robbed!

In the Manchester United team, Pogba is definitely the number two man, world-class!

Passing the opponent, several strikers in front of him were also running, and the Manchester City defense slowly retreated, not daring to grab easily.

Pogba stopped moving forward and volleyed from around 29 meters from goal!

This shot went straight to the right side of the goal!

The momentum is strong and heavy, and there is an S-shaped arc change!

The ball hits the top right corner of the goal!

2 to 1!

Manchester United take the lead again!

Wonderful squirting!

Excited, Pogba rushed to the side of the pitch, enjoying the cheers and praise of the fans!

Xia Xing and Lukaku also rushed up to celebrate the goal with Pogba!

It's awesome to be ahead again!

The game resumed, and Manchester City's attack intensified.

They really didn't expect Manchester United's attack to be so resolute and decisive.

They weren't expecting to be down in such a way at Old Trafford.

Keep on the onslaught and equalize as soon as possible!

In the 41st minute of the game, Manchester City made a mistake in a pass through the middle and was cut off by Xia Xing again.

This time, Xia Xing decisively passed straight to Pogba!

What a chance for Manchester United!

Pogba sprinted quickly, and the whole Manchester United team rushed forward again!

But this time they're in trouble!

Pogba, who changed direction with the ball, was grabbed in front of the defender of Manchester City's right-back Kyle Walker!

This defense is very exciting!

After breaking the ball, Kyle Walker made a long pass and looked for the fast horse Aguero!

Sergio Aguero changes direction with the ball and sprints towards the right wing!

Right winger Raheem Sterling sucks in and the two complete the cross-switch!

Manchester United's midfield has been pressed, and the defense at the back is weak!

Several defenders retreated across the board to block the Manchester City striker's attack!

However, after the running of several forwards stirred up the storm, they did not choose to shoot, but suddenly passed back!

The ball is looking for De Bruyne who is quickly moving forward!

Just after Xia Xing's pass, he decisively stepped forward, and De Bruyne's speed could not keep up with him.

But because of this, De Bruyne has become the closest Manchester City midfielder to Manchester United's penalty area!

After receiving the ball, adjust it a little and shoot decisively!

Goalkeeper David De Gea was affected by Manchester City's forward line and was dragged in another defensive effort to shoot into the near corner by Sergio Aguero!

De Bruyne's shot hits the left side of the goal!

2 to 2!

Manchester City equalize again!

The two sides are back on the same starting line! (End of chapter)
