David Silva's movement was very ghostly. The moment De Bruyne took the penalty kick, he started to move, rushing into the penalty area from outside the penalty area, and finally into the small penalty area. When Manchester United's defensive players collectively ran back and tried to create an offside trap, he kicked the ball into the goal.

The moment he scored the goal, almost all Manchester United players raised their hands to indicate that he was offside.

But the linesman remained unmoved and did not raise the flag.

It's a good ball, not offside.

The slow-motion replay on the big screen at the scene also proved that the ball was really not offside! When David Silva rushed into the small penalty area, he slowed down and paused, allowing him to score the ball almost on the edge of offside.

If he had been a little faster, if he had braked a little slower, the ball would have been offside.

After scoring the goal, David Silva was very excited. He opened his arms and ran all over the field.

But the fans in the stands saw something not quite right from the slow-motion replay on the big screen:

"Why do I feel that the goal just now was not assisted by Van Dijk to Silva, but it seemed that our striker Lukaku assisted it?"

"Well, now that you mention it, it seems to be true. It really looked like Lukaku passed the ball to the opposing player!"

"Damn, this guy, could it be that he is the opponent's traitor? This is our goal, the opponent's goal is over there!"

It just so happened that at this time Mourinho seemed a little dissatisfied with Lukaku's performance. He called him to the sidelines and gestured to him with his hands and feet.

So, some fans who saw the slow-motion replay quickly made a picture:

Mourinho pointed to the right side of the field: Manchester City's goal is here! Lukaku: Oh, I see! Back on the field, Lukaku did not get the direction wrong again, and played an important role in distracting the attack.

After Manchester City scored, Manchester United players seemed more anxious.

They desperately hoped to equalize the score before the end of the first half and did not want to return to the locker room with a one-goal disadvantage, because if they did, what would be waiting for them would definitely be the coach's hair dryer.

What's more, Manchester United players actually seized the opportunity.

In the second minute of injury time in the first half, seeing that the referee was about to blow the whistle, the anxious Manchester United fans simply kicked the ball long towards the opponent's half.

Manchester City seemed unprepared for Manchester United's style of play. Stones headed the ball and Delph made a mistake in stopping the ball in the penalty area, indirectly giving the ball to Manchester United players.

Rashford got the ball in the penalty area, and faced the goalkeeper who came out, he pushed the ball into the far corner and equalized the score at the last moment of the first half! This goal was very morale-boosting, and all the Red Devils fans at the scene were boiling with excitement.

On the sidelines, Mourinho had already planned to end the first half behind, but he didn't expect the team to equalize the score miraculously. This surprised him very much. After reacting, he excitedly waved his arms a few times and celebrated vigorously! On the other side, Guardiola shook his head helplessly.

I don't know what to say about this goal lost.

It was clearly a good situation with 5 vs 3, but the two defenders made mistakes one after another, and the ball was sent to Rashford's mouth! Manchester City's luck is too bad! Of course, he would not attribute everything to luck. The opponent's ability to launch such an attack, whether it was luck or premeditated, was the opponent's ability.

Although the lead was gone, there was still plenty of time, and as long as we could find a way to deal with Manchester United, the second half would be easy.

The main players and important members of the coaching staff of both teams returned to the locker room, leaving only a few substitute players warming up on the field.

Although Haaland was included in the roster, he probably won't have a chance to play in this game.

Most of the games in which he was able to play were those where Manchester City won the battle in just half time.

It is obviously difficult to produce such a huge score difference in a strong dialogue with Manchester United.

So there is a high probability that Haaland will not be able to play, but he is not discouraged. As long as he continues to grow slowly, sooner or later, he will wear the Manchester City sky blue jersey like the main players in the team and represent the team at Old Trafford.

Now, let's go on the court and enjoy ourselves and feel the atmosphere of Old Trafford.

Because the score was very close, fans of both teams didn't pay much attention to the substitutes warming up on the court.

After playing for a while, Haaland noticed that a black boy younger than him was staring at him.

After seeing that the other party was wearing the red Manchester United jersey, Haaland waved at him, motioning him to come over and talk.

"Are you a Manchester United player?"

Haaland looked the other person up and down. This guy was no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, at least one year younger than him.

So he judged that the other party should be a youth player of Manchester United and should not have played in the youth team league before, otherwise he would not have failed to recognize him.

"Isn't it obvious from the jersey? You're from Manchester City?"

"Well, you can tell from my jersey that I'm a member of the first team. How about that? Isn't that awesome?"

Greenwood couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard Haaland's bragging.

What's wrong with the first team? I will be in Manchester United's first team sooner or later, what's the big deal! Seeing that the opponent seemed to be a big fool, Greenwood, who was very confident in his skills, took the initiative to challenge Haaland: "Hey, that Manchester City guy over there, do you dare to compete with me!"

"Oh? How do you want to play?"

It was already very boring for Haaland to practice alone, so when he heard that someone wanted to challenge him, he immediately became interested.

"Three balls, attack and defend, whoever scores two goals first wins!"

One-on-one? Interesting! Haaland agreed and took the initiative to give up the initiative and let the opponent attack first.

There is a big difference in height between the two. When Haaland was seventeen years old, his height was close to 1.9 meters and his weight exceeded 75 kilograms.

Compared to him, Greenwood, who was only sixteen years old, was half a head shorter and weighed less.

Given the size difference between the two, Haaland felt that he could knock him down with just a slight bump.

By then he won't be able to even hold the ball, let alone shoot and score.

But Greenwood is much stronger than he imagined. Although the opponent is shorter and lighter than him, Greenwood's lower body is very solid and his physical confrontation ability is much stronger than Haaland imagined.

What surprised him even more was that this guy was very balanced with his left and right feet. He only used one shake to make Haaland misjudge and score the ball after he was shaken into space! "Haha, how about it? Are you convinced?"

Greenwood, who scored a goal, seemed very excited, and he became more convinced that Haaland was just a big fool with a simple mind and strong limbs. He looked very powerful, but was actually nothing.

"Come again!"

Haaland became more interested and admitted that he underestimated his opponent.

The other party seems to be quite capable and is much more powerful than I imagined.

In this case, we can’t let them off!

For the second goal, Haaland attacked and Greenwood defended.

Haaland didn't do anything fancy. He simply used his physical advantage, unreasonably pushed Greenwood away, and then shot the ball into the goal.

Greenwood was very dissatisfied. He felt that Haaland was bullying the weak by taking advantage of his size. He was just relying on the fact that he was stronger and taller than him. There was nothing worth mentioning about his skills.

So, he was indignant and wanted to show Haaland what real skills were.

However, just as he was showing off his footwork and trying to defeat Haaland, Haaland once again made an unreasonable move, squeezed Greenwood away with his body, stole the ball from under his feet, and then kicked it into the goal.

“I won!”

Haaland stepped on the ball that rolled out of the goal and said to Greenwood proudly.

"Humph, it's just an unfair victory. Just wait, when I grow taller and stronger, I will take revenge on you in the first team!"

Haha, the little brat has a strong desire for revenge! Harland laughed: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

"But you must not be kicked out of Manchester United for any reason!"

Apparently out of concern that he might not see the other side in the first team in a few years, Haaland also gave a thoughtful reminder.

…

This little incident on the court did not attract much attention.

Especially when the main players of both teams returned to the court, their attention was immediately attracted by the main players of both teams, and they had no time to care about what happened just now . After the start of the second half, both sides made a substitution.

Manchester United replaced Rojo with Lindelof, and Manchester City replaced Delph with Gundogan.

If Manchester United's substitution can be considered a positional substitution, then Manchester City's substitution is worth pondering.

Gundogan is a midfielder, and Delph, who was replaced, is Manchester City's left back.

This substitution means that Manchester City will change its formation from four defenders to three central defenders.

It seems that Manchester City will strengthen their attack in the second half! Manchester United fans are very nervous. Recently, Manchester City has relied on this tactical style to beat all opponents in Europe.

Whether in the league or in the Champions League, they can be said to be invincible.

Even a strong club like Liverpool would be beaten 6:0 by them!

Manchester United has often lost to Manchester City in derby matches in the past few seasons, causing fans to develop city phobia.

Now seeing that the opponent has sent out a signal for a massive attack, they are all very nervous, fearing that the team will collapse under Manchester City's fierce offensive.

It's not just the fans who are affected by this emotion, but also the players on the field.

After Manchester City sounded the clarion call for attack, everyone in Manchester United was trembling with fear and tension.

So, in the 54th minute of the game, the pig teammate Lukaku came online again.

Lukaku, who received special instructions from Mourinho in the first half, did not make a mistake in the direction of his own goal this time.

Seeing Lin Quan lift the free kick into his own penalty area, he aimed at the landing point and actively stretched out his foot to clear the ball.

Lukaku's starting point was good. He wanted to help the team clear the ball with a long kick, but Lukaku's clearance seemed to be more of a hindrance than a help.

Smalling, who was struggling with Manchester City striker Aguero, felt something hit him hard on the back before he could react.

When he looked back, he saw the round football rolling towards his own goal.

What? Wasn't that a football that hit me just now? Doesn't that mean I made an own goal? That bastard kicked it at me. You really made me suffer!

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Manchester City defender Stones stepped forward and volleyed the ball into Manchester United's goal, preventing Smalling's own goal.

Stones felt like he was really lucky!

Originally, he failed to win the ball in the penalty area and was about to retreat when he suddenly saw the football inexplicably fly in front of him. Fortunately, he hadn't started running yet and was able to immediately adjust his center of gravity and body posture to shoot the ball. Otherwise, even if he had seen the ball, he would probably have been too late to deal with it.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea felt so screwed that he threw his hands to Lukaku helplessly! Man, what the hell are you doing?

It was you in the first half and you again in the second half?

Can you please stop messing with me? I made so many key saves in this game and had hopes of keeping the game clean, but you ruined it.

For the special position of goalkeeper, as long as the ball is lost, all the previous achievements will be wiped out.

De Gea's hard work now seems to have been completely in vain.

Mourinho's face turned pale and he waved Lukaku over again.

Although we couldn't hear what the two were saying, netizens immediately made a funny emoticon:

Mourinho pointed to Manchester City's goal and said to Lukaku: Look carefully, that's our goal, this is the direction of the opponent's goal in the second half! Lukaku was confused and a little puzzled: Oh, the goal is here again in the second half? Seeing this hilarious emoticon, the fans couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, I think if Manchester City wins this game, the best player award should be given to Lukaku of Manchester United!"

"It's a must, what does it mean to be the team's best 12th man (tactical retreat)!"

"Ah, Lukaku is so unlucky. He is obviously very active in defense, but he always makes things worse. It's unbearable!"

"This was originally a evenly matched match, but Lukaku turned it into a joke!"

"Indeed, winning or losing the game is not important now. I just want to know if Lukaku will have any eye-catching performance next time!"

"Hey, I'm curious too. This game is becoming more and more interesting!"

"Who said that? I'm a Manchester United fan, I can't laugh!"

Everyone, human or ghost, is showing off, only Manchester United is getting beaten.

Now it was Manchester United that was behind. This was the Theatre of Dreams, their home stadium. Could it be that Manchester United was going to lose to their city rivals at home again? The answer was yes. In the 73rd minute, Lin Quan helped Manchester City score another goal, locking the score at 3:1. This goal almost killed the game. Under the terrifying counterattacks from Manchester City's two flanks, Manchester United's offense was not threatening at all, and they had to swallow the bitter fruit of defeat at home.

With this victory, Manchester City tied the record of 14 consecutive Premier League wins set by Arsenal that year! One more step and this record will be broken! (End of this chapter)
