Chapter 0611, Six Kills!
The game was 75 minutes old and Pep Guardiola had used up three substitutions.
After replacing Fernandinho with Gabriel Jesus, he brought on Bernardo Silva and Foden for David Silva and Otamendi.
The team's formation changed to 2-3-5.
Manchester City are desperate.
But even so, they still struggled to break the door.
In the closing stages of the game, Mourinho also used up three substitutions.
Ashley Young and Marcos Rojo were off the bench, with Luke Shaw and Eric Bailly coming off the bench.
These are two players with yellow cards on their backs and can't afford to risk being sent off on the pitch to defend.
Romelu Lukaku up front was also substituted for Scott McTominay.
After coming on, Wheat stepped back to a central midfield position, and the Reds formed a 4-4-1-1.
Jesse Lingard often drops back to defend, and in fact there is only Alexis Sanchez up front.
Now Manchester City have completely relaxed their defence and are attacking with all their might.
Sanchez hasn't had any particularly impressive performances against Manchester City in recent games.
No goals, no assists, not even much involved in the goalscoring process.
This left Manchester City fans laughing.
You know, this winter, Manchester City is competing for Sanchez, and in the end, Sanchez joined Manchester United.
Since joining Manchester United, he has been in poor form, and even if he has had a good performance, he has been far from performing at the thigh level of his time at Arsenal overall.
So on the Internet, the people who ridicule Sanchez the most are the Manchester City players.
And against Manchester City's two-legged match, Sanchez didn't have a good performance.
Especially in this game, there was nothing to be done on the field.
Now Mourinho has let his team retreat, leaving Sanchez alone.
In the eyes of Manchester City's players, it is equivalent to no one in the front.
But they forgot that a world-class striker, even if he was silent for 89 minutes, only one minute of explosion was enough to affect the situation of the battle.
In the 85th minute of the game, the two sides engaged in hand-to-hand combat in front of the Manchester United penalty area.
The ball bounces continuously and rolls between the players of both sides.
In the end, Xia Xing made a decisive decision and took the ball out!
However, he did not choose to break through with the ball, but with a long pass!
The ball looks for Sanchez!
Manchester City players are shocked!
At this point, Kompany is the only one left in the backfield!
At this time, most of the players on both sides were in the United half, Sanchez ran quickly, received the ball, and accelerated!
He didn't have many offensive opportunities in this game, so now he still has fitness!
Although Kompany was physically fit, he pressed forward frequently throughout the game, especially as a header point in corner kicks and free kicks, and he couldn't run at the moment!
Sanchez sprints with the ball and accelerates along the right flank!
Kompany intercepts, trying to block Sanchez's path into the box!
Sanchez dribbles the ball inside and then quickly plays to the wing!
Just as Kompany was catching up, Sanchez suddenly slammed to the left!
The Manchester City captain was shaken off!
Sanchez singled out!
Facing Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, Sanchez adjusted his pace slightly.
Kick and shoot into the far corner!
Roll the ball into the net!
"1 to 0!
"Manchester United have scored!
"Sanchez has made a meritorious service!
"In the 86th minute, Manchester United were the first to break the deadlock!
"It was a crucial goal! It simply pushed Manchester City into the abyss!
"Now the aggregate score between the two sides is 5-3!
'If Manchester City want to qualify, they have to score two more goals as soon as possible!
"But even with the stoppage time, it's less than 10 minutes.
"It's hard for him to do it,
"Let's see if a miracle happens?"
In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer praised Manchester United, but did not make a firm judgment on the outcome of the game.
Carragher next to him is still cheering Manchester City on.
"There's definitely still a chance!
"You must know that Manchester City has won the Premier League title at the last minute before.
"They're a team that has been able to do wonders and this game is absolutely fine!
"I'm sure they can do it!
"It must be no problem!
"There must be a chance!"
Whether there will be a chance, no one knows.
But the cheers at the Etihad Stadium remained.
Manchester City fans did not give up on confidence.
You know, the next ten minutes are the last ten minutes of the season.
The last straw.
The consecutive defeats to Manchester United in a single season have made Manchester United suppress on multiple fronts.
The Premier League is gone, the League Cup is gone, and the FA Cup is out.
Now, the most awaited Champions League title is also about to leave them.
It's a terrible feeling.
"Come on!"
"Long live Manchester City!"
"We still have time!"
Countless fans shouted for the sky!
This made Mourinho on the sidelines nod his head.
It's a good opponent, yes.
However, mental power is one thing, and strength is another.
Under the tight defense of Manchester United, how can Manchester City easily break through the defensive position leading the summer line?
Manchester City tried desperately to attack, but it continued to be fruitless.
In the 87th minute, substitute Gabriel Jesus received a pass from Bernardo Silva and forced a shot in the box, which was blocked by Manchester United right-back Valencia.
In the 89th minute of the game, the young Manchester City rookie Foden took the ball out of the angle and shot low with his feet, breaking through the Manchester United defense!
De Gea fell to the ground quickly and held the ball firmly!
Manchester United escaped once again!
At this moment, the fourth official raised his card, and there were three minutes of stoppage time.
The second half was relatively fluid, and three minutes were a little dissatisfying for Mourinho.
"Why is it so long?"
"Coach Mourinho, please respect the opinion of the referee team."
"You ......"
Mourinho wanted to say something, but Perrin pulled him away.
"Jose, don't worry, we're stable anyway, you don't have to eat cards or anything, we can't do without you."
"Dude, I know the measure, don't worry. I'm just going to put a little pressure on them and interfere with City, haha. ”
"Haha, you cunning fellow."
Sergio Aguero fired high and a minute of stoppage time had passed.
De Gea threw the ball to Xia Xing, who took the ball with his back and drove to the front court with a big foot to find Sanchez.
Sanchez sprinted quickly to catch the ball, but he couldn't run.
It doesn't matter, it's time-consuming anyway.
Control the ball on the wing, pull the ball slowly, change direction.
Bernardo Silva, who returned to the defense, grabbed the ball and fouled it, and the ball went out of bounds.
Xia Xing ran forward to take a free kick, grinding, and drove a big foot to the front court, the corner flag area.
The ball was not fast and came to a halt near the corner flag area.
Xia Xing's footwork control is excellent.
Ederson ran to the corner flag area, but before he could touch the ball, he heard the whistle!
The referee's whistle blows!
"It's over!
"In the two legs, Manchester United won the game 4-3 and 1-0!
"This season, in six Manchester derbys,
"Six beats to Manchester City in a single season!
"Unprecedented!" (End of chapter)
