Chapter 114 A dramatic scene!
"Oh, Lukaku's awareness is too poor."
"Anticipation, balance and weight are his biggest weaknesses. They are OK against weak teams on weekdays, but they are exposed to the maximum against strong teams."
"I think Mourinho will make a substitution soon. He wants to take advantage of Manchester City's weak attack to counterattack, and he will definitely need the front players to take possession of the ball."
"Look, what I said came true. Manchester United replaced No. 9 Lukaku with No. 10 Ibrahimovic."
Lukaku looked lonely as he walked to the sidelines, and he knew that his performance was not good.
Ibrahimovic patted his shoulder and said, "Don't take it to heart, keep going."
Then Ibrahimovic strode onto the green field, glanced around with disdain, and stopped his eyes on Otamendi.
After the game restarted.
Manchester United's overall tactics have not changed, they still rely on solid defense and long passes to the frontcourt.
As a 36-year-old veteran, Ibrahimovic has rich game experience and he knows how to deal with defensive players.
After coming on, he had several tough confrontations with Otamendi, and it was obvious that he wanted to suppress the opponent in terms of morale.
Soon Manchester United's counterattack gained momentum.
63rd minute of the game.
De Gea made a long pass, Ibrahimovic held off Otamendi and headed the ball to Lingard behind him.
As soon as the latter stopped the ball, Fernandini rushed over, skillfully intercepted the ball and took it back.
"Danger!"
"Manchester United's forward formation revealed space behind the defense. This is the opportunity Manchester City has been waiting for!"
"Fernandinho passed the ball to David Silva and Chu Feng rushed to grab the ball. His hands moved a little too much!"
Both of them fell to the ground.
Beep! The referee blew the whistle decisively to indicate a foul and also showed a yellow card.
Chu Feng had no objection to this.
My defensive level is not good enough, so I can only intercept the ball in this way. Otherwise, the consequences of letting David Silva pass would be disastrous.
A yellow card is perfectly acceptable.
David Silva looked very helpless. He found that Manchester United's No. 7 was really difficult to deal with. He didn't look like a teenager at all and was even calmer than himself.
At that time, you can still make accurate judgments.
At this time, Mourinho frowned on the sidelines. He didn't expect Manchester City's attack to be so strong and completely suppressed his two flanks.
Now we can’t launch an offensive and can only passively take the beating.
But he knew that defending would not work because Manchester United's opponent was Manchester City, who would become more and more aggressive after playing with momentum.
And Guardiola hasn't made any substitutions yet, so he definitely has a backup plan.
The other side.
"Let Gundogan and Mangala warm up."
Guardiola stroked his chin and whispered to the assistant coach.
"Since we can't take advantage in the air, we might as well use a strikerless formation and use running to tear apart Manchester United's defense."
"Yes, we will change the formation to three central defenders and strengthen penetration into the middle."
“.”
Guardiola slammed his right fist into his left palm and kept talking to himself.
He found the right answer.
The view returns to the green field.
The free kick is about 38 meters away from the goal, and the threat of a direct shot is minimal, so it must be a tactical header.
So the Manchester United players adopted man-to-man marking and pushed the Manchester City players out of the penalty area.
"David Silva drives forward. Smalling clears the ball!"
“Mistake!”
"He failed to get the ball out of the box! Sane made the follow-up shot."
“The ball goes in!”
"Manchester City, who are at a height disadvantage, equalized the score with a free kick!"
"It was a dramatic goal!"
"The whole of Manchester United will pay the price for Smalling's header error!"
There was also wailing in the live broadcast room.
At this time, the Chinese fans were a little worried that Chu Feng would blame himself too much. After all, it was his free kick that was sent. It was thought to be a good foul, but who would have thought that Manchester City would score with this opportunity. - [Smalling's state is a bit up and down! ] - [He seems to have lost confidence. His performance this season is not very good. He has also made low-level mistakes before. ] - [If Bailly had not been injured again, he should have played. ] - [Wouldn't it be better for Xiao Chu not to foul? ] - [Look carefully at the replay. Sane and Sterling have already started to speed up. If David Silva had passed, he would definitely pass the ball to his teammates with his long pass skills, which would have created a single-handed opportunity. ] - [If it was Sterling, it would not be impossible. ] - [Although Sterling often misses empty goals, his goal efficiency can be ranked in the top three in Manchester City. ] - [Yes, because his running position is too good and there are too many opportunities, so he looks very "happy". ] - [I hope Xiao Chu will not blame himself too much. This goal has little to do with him. If Smalling hadn't missed the header, it would definitely not have been scored. 】 - 【You are a little narrow-minded. Football is a team sport. If everyone shares the blame like you do, there is no team spirit at all. 】 - 【.】
Old Trafford.
Wow!!! The away stands suddenly erupted in loud shouts. Manchester City fans had been suppressed for more than 60 minutes and finally had a chance to vent.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
This goal was the beginning of the counterattack! Today they were going to crush Old Trafford, destroy Manchester United’s 44-game unbeaten record, and then leave with three points, announcing to the world who is the master of Manchester.
Manchester United are the noisy neighbours! In the flying snow.
They hummed extremely soothing and gentle tunes, adding a touch of warmth to the court.
“Blue Moon!”
“Now I’m no longer alone!”
“Without a dream in my heart!”
“.”
Unlike the unrestrained Manchester United anthem, the Manchester City anthem is more beautiful and gives people a lullaby feeling.
The Manchester City players on the field also celebrated excitedly.
There is never a shortage of surprises on the football field, some are pleasant surprises, some are shocks.
David Silva subconsciously looked at Chu Feng.
You should be a little annoyed, right?
Unfortunately, he couldn't see any negative emotions on Chu Feng's face, which was as calm as the cold snow.
His vigilance instantly reached its highest level.
"Keep working hard, we will definitely win the game!"
Not far away.
"My question, sorry."
Smalling punched himself in frustration. Victory was within his grasp, but he lost it again.
"It's better to think about how to defend next!"
Just as the Manchester United players were about to comfort them, Ibrahimovic interrupted them forcefully. He continued to scold them seriously: "Are you a little relaxed because you are leading?"
"This is a 90-minute game. Don't think you can win the game before the final whistle blows!"
"We are a team and everyone has to pay for the mistakes of the team and now we have paid the price."
"Next we have to make up for our mistakes!"
"And sending the ball into the opponent's goal is the best way to make up for it!"
"Do you understand?"
The Manchester United players looked at Ibrahimovic's ferocious expression and nodded vigorously.
