Chapter 26 Sweeping Manchester United, Manchester has changed!

Watching City gradually grasp control of the midfield, Moyes couldn't sit still.

He told Wayne Rooney to drop back and get involved in a scramble in midfield.

Lu Xiaopang was a little reluctant, why could Van Persie stay in front of him?

I'm a striker, too!

However, Moyes treated him well, and he didn't want to turn against Moyes for the time being, so he still carried out Moyes's orders.

After Wayne Rooney retreated, United formed two stranglehold lines in midfield.

Up front are Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young and Valencia.

Behind are Fellaini and Carrick.

With the two levels of interception lines clear, their midfield defence has been greatly enhanced.

Lin Quan imagined that it would be very difficult to take advantage of the disconnection between the opponent's back line and the back waist line to play the opponent's counterattack.

However, he soon noticed that after the United men had run to half-time, the wide defence was empty.

As a result, Lin Quan gave up attacking from the middle lane, and more pulled the side and played the opponent's two wings with his teammates on the side.

It's not like City haven't played wide before, but neither Navas nor Nasri on either wing has the same playmaking skills as David Silva.

They're qualified as wide Demomen, but it's not enough to let them organise the team's attack up front.

As a result, City's attack on the flanks was thunderous and rainy, failing to pose a threat.

In the previous game against Chelsea, Chelsea also used two wings to attack, but in the end they were successfully defended by Manchester United.

Having had a successful defensive experience in the past, United's players were not too worried about this kind of attack.

But after Lin Quan pulled the side, the situation was different.

Unlike the average wide player, he is versatile, playing as a wide blaster and organising attacks on the wing.

And his addition has given Manchester City one more person when attacking on the wing, which has greatly increased the difficulty of Manchester United's defense.

The tide was back in City's favour, with United's defence on the flanks teetering under City's frenzied attack.

In the stands, after seeing Lin Quan's choice, Guardiola showed a relieved smile on his face.

This kid thinks of going with himself!

He brought the team's playmaking to the wings, bypassing the midfield and making the opposition's defensive set-up completely ineffective.

Now, Manchester United is uncomfortable!

"Coach, are there any problems on United's side?"

Ten Hag's ability to read the game is not as good as Pep Guardiola's, but he can also see that United are in a passive position on the pitch.

'Well, they've fallen into a disadvantage on the wings, the whole defence is starting to falter, and if you don't adjust right away, I'm afraid it won't be long before you concede goals.'

Hearing Pep Guardiola's words, Ten Hag's eyes widened and he stared at the game on the pitch.

Trying to see it a little more realistically.

Seeing that the other party was so serious, Guardiola opened his mouth and asked:

'If you were the manager of Manchester United, what do you think you should do now?'

Ten Hag had just heard Pep Guardiola's analysis of United's problems on the wings, so it was natural to think that the wide defence should be strengthened.

"Is that so?"

Hearing his answer, Guardiola did not give an evaluation, as if waiting for Moyes to make adjustments.

……

David Moyes is not a blind man, and of course it is clear that United are in a precarious situation.

However, he did not go straight to strengthening the defense on the flanks as Ten Hag thought.

There are so many players on the pitch that strengthening the wings means weakening the middle.

They have seen the attacking power of Manchester City in the middle before, Lin Quan is a free man, and the ball intelligence is extremely high.

As soon as United make adjustments, he will certainly return to the middle of the pitch and play at United's weaknesses.

In this case, unless he, the head coach, himself comes on the pitch and adjusts the team's tactics anytime and anywhere, it won't work at all.

So, what should Manchester United do?

Moyes thought of only one way, and that was to send someone to restrain Lin Quan.

Since the problem lies with this guy, let's deal with him in a targeted manner!

If they can see him to death, then City's attacking threat will plummet.

Thinking of this, Moyes took advantage of the dead ball to call Fellaini over and admonish him.

……

A few minutes later, Lin Quan on the field noticed that Manchester United seemed to have adopted a special arrangement for themselves.

Fellaini is like a bug, following him all the time.

Seeing Manchester United's choice, Lin Quan couldn't ask for it.

There are concerns that United's defence in the middle is still too strong for their team-mates to capitalise on their chances.

It's good now that Manchester United have done nothing.

You're welcome!

Instead of going back to the middle, he continued to play with his team-mates on the wing.

However, City's attacking line has changed a lot.

Lin Quan began to play more with the team's striker Aguero!

In the 36th minute of the first half, Lin Quan received the ball in the front court, Fellaini quickly leaned over, Lin Quan did not dribble the ball, but quickly passed the ball to the feet of Navas.

Navas scurried away with the ball, and Lin Quan answered in the back.

Fellaini thought about it for a while, but stayed by Lin Quan's side.

Patrice Evra rushed up to intercept, Navas passed the ball back to Lin Quan, and he went down to take Evra away.

Lin Quan didn't stop the ball and directly kicked Aguero in the middle.

With Marouane Fellaini gone, United are reduced to a single midfielder, which makes their defence at the back a little empty.

Carrick rushed up immediately, but Sergio Aguero and Nasri hit the wall and beat the opponent past the opponent and went into the box himself.

Vidic rushed up and Aguero didn't try to get past the opposition or shoot himself, but instead crossed the ball to his team-mate.

Keylor Navas, who cut inside from the wing, received a pass from Sergio Aguero and calmly slotted past De Gea's goalkeeper in the face of his team-mate De Gea.

The score became 2:0.

Although the last assist in this goal was Aguero, the most critical pass was actually Lin Quan's straight shot.

Although he went on the wing, he was still the heart of the Manchester City front line.

And because he's on the wing, he's defended much less than in the middle.

Although Moyes deployed Marouane Fellaini to defend him, there was too much space on the flanks.

After Lin Quan reduced his dribbling time and continued to cooperate with his teammates, Fellaini couldn't stop him at all.

saw that Lin Quan was under his own close defense, and he could actually help his teammates complete the goal.

Fellaini's face was a little unbearable!

After the restart, he increased the intensity of physical confrontation, and even did not hesitate to use fouls to prevent Lin Quan from organizing an attack.

"Boy, don't try to play as comfortably as before, I'll watch you die!"

After knocking Lin Quan down in a collision, Fellaini said viciously to Lin Quan who fell to the ground.

He hopes to distract his opponent by saying cruel words and leave a psychological shadow on his opponent.

However, Lin Quan didn't care about his threat at all, and didn't even bother to waste time lying on the ground on the grass.

He quickly stood up and took advantage of Fellaini's cruel words to quickly send a free-kick to Aguero.

Sergio Aguero passed to Fernandinho, who moved widely to the left and handed it to Nasri.

Nasri received the ball and cut inside and De Gea made a crucial save to lift the ball over the crossbar.

"Concentrate and don't get distracted!"

After saving the goal, De Gea was very unhappy with the performance of his team-mates.

It's common to take a quick free-kick on the pitch, but if your teammates are a little more focused, they won't be able to shoot on goal.

Fellaini made an apologetic gesture to his team-mates, and the ball was clearly his pot.

He glared at Lin Quan viciously, but Lin Quan had a smile on his face and nodded at him.

Then he slowly ran away from him, ready to take a corner.

Provocation, must be provocation!

Fellaini was angry, and he was going to use trash talk to provoke Lin Quan's emotions and make the other party's mentality unbalanced, but he took the lead in losing his mentality.

"Manchester City's corner kick opportunity, Lin Quan chose to deal with it personally."

'The corner came out and fell into the middle of the box and was headed out by Smalling, and the ball was still at the feet of Manchester City.

"Zabaleta crosses to the left side of the field again, Yaya Toure hits the goal, oops, hit!"

"The ball is still there, the ball is still at the feet of Manchester City, Aguero's stab, De Gea made a meritorious service, he saved the ball, wait, the ball rolled to Lin Quan's feet, wasn't he in the corner area, when did he rush to the penalty area?"

Seeing the ball rolling towards Lin Quan, the Manchester City fans near the goal area had already stood up en masse.

Can this goal be scored?

Lin Quan ran along the bottom line, and when he received the ball, it was already close to the zero angle.

In this case, most people will choose to pass the ball!

Manchester United's defenders also thought the same, they hurriedly blocked Lin Quan's passing line, but did not step forward to interfere with Lin Quan's goal at the first time.

This was definitely a fatal mistake!

"Don't let him bang on the door!"

De Gea saw the ball roll to Lin Quan's feet, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

As Lin Quan's national team teammate, he knows this guy's strength too well.

Zero angle doesn't mean absolute safety, because this guy has a weird kick!

De Gea guessed right!

After getting the ball, Lin Quan glanced at the direction of the goal, did not hesitate, and decisively chose to shoot into the far corner.

De Gea had already judged that the opponent was going to hit the far corner as soon as he shouted, so he made a save in the direction of the far corner as soon as possible.

However, the ball was far more weird than he had imagined.

The ball arced in an exaggerated arc, evaded De Gea's interception and flew into the back of the net grazing the far post.

De Gea is still a step slower!

Even if he was on guard, he still couldn't stop the ball.

I was a teammate with Lin Quan in the national team before, and when I saw Lin Quan using this trick on other teams, I only felt that this kind of shooting with a weird arc was very magical.

However, when he actually encountered this kind of shot on the field, he knew how desperate the goalkeeper was in his heart.

After scoring a brace, Lin Quan passed by Fellaini's side on the way to celebrate, and he glanced at Fellaini, as if to ask him:

What were you talking about?

Fellaini's face turned blue and white, and his heart was really angry.

Just after he let out the cruel words, Lin Quan seemed to help his teammates score a goal, and then used the opportunity of him to trash-talk to score another goal himself.

These two goals, like two slaps in the face, slapped him in the face.

……

Seeing that Manchester City had a three-goal lead in the first half, Guardiola puffed up his chest proudly, eager to praise Lin Quan's brave performance whenever he met people.

He was very pleased to see his son's excellent performance at the scene.

Ten Hag on the side was a little incomprehensible:

"Coach, Manchester City are in such good shape, isn't that bad news for us at Bayern? Why are you so happy? ”

"Forehead ......"

Guardiola was speechless for a while, and had to nod his head:

"What you say makes a lot of sense, and you really should be serious."

That being said, when the Manchester City fans at the scene played a lot of fun to celebrate the goal, Guardiola quickly put what he just said behind him and went crazy with the audience.

Ten Hag on the side stretched out his hand to cover his face:

Coach, you should also take care of our identity!

We are now the coach of Bayern, so what will the Bayern club think when they see you like this!

It is not known what Bayern will think for the time being, but Manchester City owner Mansour, who was watching the game at the scene, saw Guardiola actually mingle with the audience, and his eyes lit up.

I couldn't help but have some thoughts in my heart.

Although Manuel Pellegrini has a good run of results, after winning this game, Manchester City will have won six consecutive games in all competitions.

However, the reputation of the Chilean engineer is still a little smaller, and he is still a little dissatisfied in his heart.

And in terms of strength, Pellegrini is indeed inferior to Guardiola.

If he had to choose between the two, Mansour would not hesitate to choose Pep Guardiola.

Since Pep Guardiola loves Manchester City so much, is there a chance to poach him?

He thought of the invitation he extended to Pep Guardiola when he visited Lin Quan in Munich before.

Although Pep Guardiola said that he had a contract, he did not explicitly refuse Manchester City's offer.

So, there's still a chance!

……

After Lin Quan scored Manchester City's third goal, the first half was over quickly.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides, and United made personnel changes, with Cleverley replacing Ashley Young.

However, the substitution did not have much effect, and the situation for United remained passive.

On the contrary, Manchester City, after taking a huge lead, the players are playing more and more relaxed, and the cooperation up front is getting better and better.

Just 2 minutes into the second half, Sergio Aguero scored another goal to make the score 4:0!

Manchester City are already crazy, while Manchester United on the other side is clearly stunned.

The fourth time he fished the ball out of his own goal, De Gea kicked the ball hard in anger, as if he was taking the opportunity to vent his anger.

In this game, Manchester United played extremely aggrieved and had no strength, but before they had a chance to play, they were already beaten to death by the opponent's Wang Ba punch.

On the sidelines, Moyes was helpless, and he couldn't even say words of encouragement to the frustrated faces of his players.

Moyes couldn't help but think about a question:

If it were Ferguson, what would he do at this time?

He seems to have forgotten about Mourinho's attack and really fell into the shadow of Alex Ferguson.

After taking a big lead, Pellegrini began to make personnel changes.

In the 71st minute, Milner came on and replaced Keylor Navas.

Five minutes later, Sergio Aguero was also substituted, and among the three contributors to the goal, only Lin Quan was still on the field.

Seeing that United's attack was unthreatening, the players completely lost their fighting spirit.

Pellegrini finally replaced Lin Quan boldly in the 86th minute.

When Lin Quan left the game, the fans at the scene collectively stood up and applauded him.

His performance deserved a standing ovation from the fans, let alone the fans, and the cameras even caught the Manchester City owner and the club's president standing up in the box to applaud him.

Seeing that the other party's No. 10 was out of the limelight, Lu Xiaopang was very angry in his heart, and at the same time very jealous.

So, after Lin Quan was gone, Lu Xiaopang suddenly became active as if he suddenly ignited his fighting spirit.

In the 87th minute of the game, Rooney was fouled by a Manchester City player when he was dribbling the ball.

United were awarded a free-kick in front.

Lu Xiaopang took the free kick himself, and after glancing at Joe Hart's position, he chose to hit the top right corner of the goal.

The quality of the penalty was so high that there was nothing Joe Hart could do about it, he could only watch as the ball flew in the top right corner of the goal!

At 4:1, Manchester United pulled a goal back.

It was Rooney's fifth consecutive goal against Manchester City, but it came too late.

In the end, Manchester City beat Manchester United 4-1 at home to win the local derby.

After this game, the sky of Manchester completely changed color!

The red fades and the blue emerges.
