Chapter 115: Oppression! Oppression! Oppression!

"In the 70th minute of the game, Manchester City made a substitution, Gundogan replaced Kompany, and Mangala replaced Jesus."

"Guardiola is still strengthening his attack and it seems that he is not ready to accept a draw."

"Manchester United also made an adjustment, with Lindelof replacing Smalling."

"To be honest, both of them have been in ups and downs. Lindelof has made many mistakes in previous games, some of which led to goals conceded by the team."

Zhan Jun sighed.

Zhang Lu echoed, "Manchester United is in urgent need of a stable central defender!"

"Okay, the game has resumed, let's turn our attention to the field."

Manchester City did not disrupt their deployment because of the goal. The formation gradually changed to 3-4-3. This formation originated in the Netherlands. Cruyff used it to set off a trend of all-out attack and defense.

And Guardiola has perfectly inherited Cruyff's legacy.

Manchester United players instantly felt that Manchester City's pressure intensity had increased significantly, and it was all-round pressure with no blind spots.

This requires extremely high abilities from the players and also involves great risks.

Once the oppression fails, the entire system will collapse instantly, and it will be difficult to organize an effective defensive force.

73rd minute of the game.

Matic received the pass from Pogba, but before he could touch the ball, he was fiercely intercepted by Gundogan and De Bruyne.

Manchester City launched an attack on the spot.

The front pressing group spread out and moved between Manchester United’s defence.

Cannibalize!

Swallow!

Manchester City players were like greedy beasts, opening their bloody mouths and driving their prey away.

Without complicated passing and cutting coordination, every move reflects efficiency.

The new three-back system! This is the weapon Guardiola created to adapt to the fierce competition in the Premier League. It is a true reflection of the spiral development of football skills and tactics in the new era.

On the side of the court.

The two people with different ideas looked at each other, as if they were expecting something.

at the same time.

Manchester United's formation has changed.

They took the initiative to retreat to the front of the penalty area, the distance between the defense lines continued to narrow, and the space quickly shrank.

It seemed as if they wanted to squeeze out the air in the third offensive zone, without considering the issue of counterattack at all.

The 70,000 fans at Old Trafford were suffocating.

Mourinho may not have talent in offense, but his ability to build a defensive system is absolutely world-class.

He used this extreme method of leaving no room for retreat and turned Manchester United's backcourt into an impregnable wall.

Although it looks simple, it is just defensive defense.

But the distance between players, the target of the defense, and the use of space involve many factors.

In just 10 seconds, the coaches of both sides completed the tactical confrontation.

But in the eyes of the fans, after Manchester City seized the ball, they suddenly stopped in the 30-meter area and then started passing the ball around Manchester United again.

I don't understand. Then Manchester City made full use of the width of the field, receiving the ball on both wings and passing it across the middle to continue organizing.

78th minute of the game.

Manchester City completed a horizontal connection outside the penalty area, and De Bruyne made a precise diagonal pass to the empty area on the right side.

The football looks like a colorful rainbow.

Perhaps because of too much defensive pressure, Ashley Young's header at the back post went over the bar, but he reacted quickly and turned around to steal the ball.

Sane chested the ball and without time to make any adjustments, he volleyed the ball directly into the air.

Bang! The football whizzed towards the upper corner of the goal.

The cheers from Manchester City fans grew louder and louder, as if they had foreseen the goal.

At the critical moment.

De Gea raised his hands and blocked the ball.

"Amazing save!"

"Since De Gea tied the record for the most saves in a single game last time, his form has been getting hotter and hotter, and he exudes confidence all over his body!"

"I guess all Premier League players have developed a psychological trauma towards De Gea!"

"Look at point two, Gundogan's long shot!"

"Lindelof flew over to block the bullet hole!"

"Manchester United's defensive attitude was very resolute and did not give the opponent any chance!"

Manchester City got a chance for a corner kick on the left side. This time no one made a low-level mistake and the ball was headed steadily out of the penalty area.

The football flew out of the sideline during the scramble.

The Manchester United players all breathed a sigh of relief. In the face of the high-intensity attack, they just held on.

"Just defend like this!"

"Nice block, Victor!"

"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities."

What is a teammate?

Trust each other, rely on each other, and overcome difficulties together.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The VIP box at this time.

Yan Lanxia looked at Chu Feng, who was covered in mud, with worry and heartache written all over her face, but she did not speak.

Because she knew why her son was fighting for what he was doing, all she needed to do was to support him silently.

Chu Changzheng also clenched his fists nervously.

He recalled the days when he took Chu Feng to watch football games. Whenever Dalian Shide was in desperate situation, there would always be players who stood up.

Now he hopes this person is a son.

Ferguson stood up from the bench.

Although he thinks Manchester City is just a noisy neighbor, he has to admit that Manchester City is strong and even has the potential to become the overlord of the Premier League in the future.

So if Manchester United wants to regain its glory, the game on the green field will continue.

Mourinho replaced Lingard with Mata, who had been running for more than 80 minutes and his physical strength had already reached its limit.

In fact, Chu Feng and Rashford are similar.

But Mourinho must keep players in the frontcourt who can counterattack quickly.

83rd minute of the game.

Manchester City's formation retreated a little bit. After all, they are not robots and cannot maintain high-intensity pressure for a long time.

And Manchester United decisively pushed forward.

Although a 1-1 draw would continue their unbeaten streak at home, that was not the outcome they wanted.

Today's game must have a winner.

Manchester United did not give Manchester City any time to breathe and fought and pressed hard.

The pace of the game quickened again.

Due to Rashford's constant harassment, De Bruyne passed the ball with more force, because this would prevent it from being intercepted by the opponent halfway.

But Manchester United players came out in full force and immediately increased the intensity of pressure.

"Gundogan!"

"Mata is very fast in pressing, can he win the ball back?"

No.

But Gundogan seemed unprepared and stopped the ball a little too far, a not-so-small mistake.

But the smart Mata did not stop and pounced forward fiercely.

In a hurry, Gundogan couldn't find a better passing route and could only pass the ball to the side.

The ball was transferred to David Silva's feet.

Chu Feng immediately pressed closely, constantly using his body to interfere with the opponent, while calling on his teammates to come and assist in defense.

Every player at Manchester United was very tired, but they had played with great intensity and fought until their eyes were red.

In fact, the same is true for Manchester City players.

They did not lose out in this tough battle.

But under such crazy pressure, Manchester City finally made mistakes.

When David Silva passed the ball back to Gundogan again, Mata judged the passing route in advance and moved in advance to intercept it.
