Chapter 185 The ultimate manifestation of personal heroism, a single player blew up Manchester City's right defense!

A wave of red swept across the Etihad Stadium.

"12 minutes into the game, Manchester United broke the deadlock and took the lead with an efficient counterattack!"

"It seems that the defeat in the Champions League some time ago did not have as big an impact as Guardiola said."

"In this attack-defense transition, Manchester City players were clearly a little slow, and their speed in both counter-attacking and returning to defense was not up to par."

Zhan Jun carefully analyzed the situation and expressed his own views.

Zhang Lu next to him also echoed, "At the critical stage of the championship at the end of the season, every game is crucial, and morale will rise and fall with the results of the game."

"We can see that after Manchester United beat Bayern, they are obviously in an excited state and every player is very motivated."

"The confidence of a team that always wins is accumulated through victory after victory."

Nearly 10 million fans in the live broadcast room were also very happy. When the two teams met for the first time, Manchester United barely defeated Manchester City, but today they scored the first goal.

They seemed to see victory beckoning.

The barrage in the live broadcast room flooded the screen. - [Lukaku finally got back to form. I was anxious watching him play some time ago. ] - [It's true. After slowing down his weight gain, his impact outside the penalty area is stronger than before. He rarely scored such goals before. ] - [Xiao Chu's cross was also very accurate. His left foot was obviously much more delicate than at the beginning of the season. ] - [As long as Manchester United can stabilize the situation, it will be easier to play later. After all, Manchester City will not be able to recover to the best physical condition if they have one day less rest. ] - [I can only say that God helps Manchester United. The schedule is completely on their side. ] - [And the referee, Atkinson can be called Manchester United's lucky whistle. Manchester United won both of the two Manchester derbies he officiated. ] - [.]

On the side of the court.

Mourinho looked at the Manchester United players celebrating wildly and couldn't help but raise his arms and roar. He actually understood that with Manchester United's level, it would be too difficult to win the Champions League.

So he placed all his hopes on the league.

If Manchester United fails to win the league title, they will lose all four major titles this season.

No matter how good the previous results are or how many undefeated games have been maintained, it is meaningless.

Because the football world is very realistic and the championship represents everything.

Mourinho needs the championship to make investors increase their investment, introduce stronger players next season, and then compete for more honors.

The other side.

Guardiola feels very tired. He has won six league titles in the past nine years of coaching career and was preparing to make a big splash when he came to Manchester City last season.

This season has indeed seen some improvement, setting a record of 18 consecutive wins in the Premier League, considering that there are only 38 rounds in the Premier League.

He also has the potential to become the first Spanish championship coach in Premier League history.

But who would have thought that despite all the stumbling, Manchester United did not let Manchester City fall behind, but instead overtook them step by step.

Although in front of the media, he admitted that he had a good relationship with Mourinho.

However, it is absolutely impossible to say that there is no competitive intention at all. It feels very uncomfortable to lose to Mourinho, and he really doesn't want to experience it again.

Guardiola walked to the command area angrily.

He was gesticulating wildly to convey instructions, wishing he had a handle so he could control the player himself to play football.

Soon, the game resumed.

Manchester City began to change its formation rapidly in accordance with Guardiola's requirements.

The two full-backs advanced deeply, the wing midfielders moved inwards to the middle, and the frontcourt kept rotating positions.

Only Kompany was left in the backcourt.

In Manchester City's passing and cutting system, the numerical advantage is very important, which means more receiving points and more options.

After De Bruyne and David Silva came to the middle, Manchester City's advancement rhythm became smoother.

The former is good at utilizing space, while the latter is good at creating space.

It can be said that the two are the most core players of the Blue Moon Army.

35th minute of the game.

David Silva dribbled the ball forward and faced the close pressure of Spanish compatriot Herrera without any confusion.

Although he is very thin, he has strong fighting ability.

His ability to get rid of opponents in a small area is comparable to Messi.

The continuous dodging and moving made Herrera dizzy and he inadvertently revealed a flaw.

David Silva took advantage of the opportunity to complete the breakthrough.

Then he passed the ball to the front right without even observing.

"The tacit passing and running coordination in the midfield!"

"He created passing space in Manchester United's dense defense and steadily delivered the ball to De Bruyne's feet!"

"He is an unobtrusive part of Manchester City, but also the most indispensable one!"

"How should we deal with this?"

De Bruyne, who was temporarily unmarked, seemed to have a formation diagram in his mind when facing the fast-rolling football.

The position of each player is clearly visible.

Childhood frustrations, character flaws, and ridicule from others De Bruyne's football career was cruel, so he became more and more introverted.

But he soon met his best friend, Ma Lan.

But bad news came again.

Ma Lan died in a car accident on the way to pick him up for training.

Perhaps since then, he was no longer playing football alone, and it seemed that there was always someone guiding him.

What is the essence of football: fancy dribbling, swift passing and wonderful shots?

no.

It is a constantly changing geometric figure composed of 22 points.

If you peel away the chaotic appearance, you can find the core principle, which is passing the ball.

The last player who made the best use of space was Pirlo.

De Bruyne leaned slightly.

An unobstructed route appears in sight.

Snap! With a crisp sound of the ball hitting the ground, the football spun off the ground and flew along the expected trajectory.

Like a sharp dagger, it split Manchester United's defense in two.

Smalling took several steps back, roared, and then jumped high.

But the football spun and flew over his head, the distance between them was only a few centimeters, but it was these few short centimeters that became the most deadly distance.

Seeing this, De Gea quickly left the goal and tried to hit the ball out of the danger area in advance.

"Sane!"

"The clever movement fooled Valencia!"

"Goal! Beautiful! This ball goes in!"

"De Bruyne seemed to have opened up a God's perspective and found an almost impossible passing route!"

"As David Silva gets older, he gradually becomes the helmsman of the Blue Moon Legion, controlling the attack direction of this luxurious battleship!"

The Etihad Stadium was completely ignited, and Manchester City players in blue jerseys raised their arms and roared wildly.

When they were about to lose hope, this goal was like a shot in the arm, rekindling his fighting spirit.

Even if they lose the Champions League, so what? Manchester City has experienced ups and downs over the years and will never back down and admit defeat easily.

Sane excitedly opened his arms and ran like a gliding airplane to vent his excitement, and the other Manchester City players followed suit.

As for De Bruyne.

He trotted two steps, then jumped lightly, undoubtedly a community-level celebration.

The Manchester United players not far away looked at each other. To be honest, no one expected the opponent's goal to come so quickly, and in this way.

It was a bit unexpected.

Smalling spat in annoyance. His judgment of the landing point was not accurate enough, otherwise he should have been able to complete the interception in advance.

But it's not that depressing.

Having come this far, no one will choose to give up easily.

Not Manchester City, not Manchester United.

Everyone has a reason not to lose, De Bruyne for his deceased friend, Valencia for his ten years at Manchester United, Phil Jones for Ferguson's appreciation. Chu Feng's chest heaved violently, he also carried the expectations of many people.

Parents, fans, and most importantly, yourself.

Without any words of encouragement, everyone returned to their seats silently, waiting for the game to resume.

On the court, the roles are reversed.

Guardiola celebrated excitedly and Mourinho let go helplessly.

As they had said before, the two were like twins, and their destinies had long been intertwined.

It starts with Barcelona and will end sooner or later.

But at least today they don't want to lose to each other, and the reason is their recognition of each other and their strong self-confidence.

The game starts again.

Manchester City, with its morale boosted, was unstoppable. They forcefully pressed to regain the ball and allocated more tactical resources to De Bruyne.

Those deadly passes made Manchester United's defense shaky.

Pogba can only increase his investment on the defensive end and keep close to De Bruyne at all times.

Fortunately, De Bruyne is not strong in dribbling away the ball. If he were given David Silva's footwork, he would really become an all-around midfielder, the kind that will win the Golden Globe in the future.

The situation became stalemate and time was passing quickly.

Near the end of the first half, Sterling retreated to receive the ball, passed Matic and shot, and the ball went straight to the stands behind.

Beep! Referee Atkinson blew the whistle.

The players of both teams calmed down and walked quickly to the player tunnel. After the Manchester United players returned to the locker room, the assistant coach had already laid out the tactical board. Mourinho said directly: "In fact, we played well in the first half. We did a good job in offense and defense. That goal was just an accident."

"Next, we need to pay attention to our positioning. We need to be a little further back than in the first half. Manchester City's forwards are used to using their speed to move forward and take advantage of the space behind our defense."

"Also, the intensity of the midfield's pressing must not be reduced, and the speed of the counterattack must be increased."

“Remember how we beat Manchester City last time? We need to press at the same time and in the same way this time.”

"If that doesn't work, try to move the ball to the left side as much as possible."

At this point, Mourinho looked at Chu Feng, his tone very serious, "I need you to tear open their defense on the wing, and if there is a chance, go straight into the penalty area."

There were no tactical instructions, just a simple request.

Perhaps this task is difficult for others, but Mourinho believes that Chu Feng can complete it. This is an unreserved trust.

Of course, it is based on Chu Feng’s strength.

Chu Feng suddenly grinned, revealing his snow-white teeth, and he was confident in himself.

Although Kyle Walker is very fast, his defensive movements are not standard, which is the breaking point.

He wants to use dribbling in a small area to complete the breakthrough.

In the home team's locker room at this time.

Guardiola kept reviewing the game, and the tactical board was covered with dense arrows, which made people's scalps tingle when they saw it.

Look at the European football scene today.

When it comes to ball possession and attack control and coaching, Guardiola said he is second to none. I guess no other coach would dare to say he is first.

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

"Make sure we have a numerical advantage in zones 12 and 14 and form two vertical channels wide enough to deliver the ball to the front players."

Guardiola pointed at the tactical board with an excited, even a little crazy expression.

The "Guardiola 20 Zone Theory" he created has two more half zones than the traditional theory, which is tailor-made for the two attacking midfielders.

The fifteen-minute break was over quickly and the Etihad Stadium was bustling again.

"Good evening, audience friends!"

“Welcome back!”

"The score between the two sides is currently 1:1!"

"Neither team made any substitutions. I believe that after the midfield adjustments, the following games will be even more exciting."

Zhan Jun sat in the studio, looking at the players who had already taken their positions, with a strong sense of anticipation rising in his heart.

In the last Manchester derby, Manchester United won the final victory thanks to Chu Feng's goal. Will the same thing happen today?

Beep! The referee blew the whistle.

The second half begins! Manchester United quickly advances after the kick-off, trying to seize the initiative by taking the lead.

But Manchester City's defensive resoluteness was unexpected.

They built an iron wall of defense in the midfield, and even the forwards retreated to participate in the defense.

The midfield seemed to have turned into a bloody meat grinder, with frequent switching between offense and defense, making everyone nervous.

Manchester City continued to create threats on both sides.

If it weren't for David Luiz and Smalling's high concentration, coupled with De Gea's hot form, the score would probably have been changed long ago.

As Manchester City's possession of the ball continued to increase, time passed quickly.

65th minute of the game.

Fernandinho intercepted the ball in the backcourt and made a long diagonal pass to B Silva on the right.

The Manchester City players moved quickly.

From God's perspective.

The number of people in the vertical area shall not exceed two people, and the number of people in the horizontal area shall not exceed three people.

A perfect 3-2 principle.

Sane and B Silva quickly moved to the side, leading the Manchester United full-backs to follow up on defense, thus revealing a large gap on the ribs.

The two attacking midfielders moved forward to occupy the two flanks in the front court.

"Manchester City's most classic style of play is here!"

"By utilizing the two halves, we can perform the final fine-tuning process in a variety of ways!"

"Split the ball, penetrate, cut inside and shoot, and make a 45-degree cross!"

Amid the cheers of Manchester City fans, B Silva gradually slowed down and knocked the ball back to the right rib.

De Bruyne found a gap again and just as he finished adjusting his posture, he suddenly heard a reminder from his teammates.

But it was too late to retract his strength and he was hit at the moment of passing the ball.

"Beautiful! Chu Feng's interference from the back caused De Bruyne to make a mistake!"

"The ball was kicked towards Pogba!"

"Manchester United took advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack!"

The words haven't finished yet.

Pogba did not show his personal strength again and selflessly chose to pass to the left.

After losing the ball, De Bruyne quickly retreated several meters, ready to counterattack on the spot.

Chu Feng's eyes were fixed on the falling football, and at the same time he saw De Bruyne who was eyeing him eagerly.

The ball bounced and stopped just right with the outside of his right foot.

De Bruyne couldn't reach it, but he wanted to try.

Sometimes a person's body is faster than his mind. He tried his best to suppress the urge to steal the ball, but he still subconsciously stretched out his legs and swept across.

And at this moment.

Chu Feng lightly tapped the ball with the instep, and the football jumped lightly and flew over De Bruyne's feet.

Then he accelerated instantly and rushed towards the penalty area like lightning.

The route of the run was very well thought out, meeting Kyle Walker head-on and avoiding Fernandinho’s insertion.

Earn yourself a brief one-on-one space.

Sweat kept dripping down Kyle Walker's forehead, and his eyes suddenly became hot, but he still resisted the urge to blink.

He knows his defense is extremely critical.

It even determines the outcome of the game.

Chu Feng touched the ball with the outside of his right foot continuously and at a high frequency, and it seemed that the next move would be a killer move.

In a flash.

Chu Feng moved!

Cut the ball with the inside of your right foot and move toward the outside.

Kyle Walker followed up quickly but didn't dare to kick to steal the ball.

Before he could figure out his opponent's intention, a series of actions followed, making him dizzy.

The right foot moves in an inner arc around the front of the football, and then the outside of the foot pushes the ball outward to change direction.

Kyle Walker was waiting for this moment. He stabilized his body, stepped out with his left foot, and poked the football accurately.

Chu Feng noticed Kyle Walker's actions.

He changed his mind in an instant and cut the ball with the inside of his foot!

The timing, power and angle are all impeccable!

Kyle Walker made up his mind, gave up his center of gravity, and stepped forward again.

Snap! With a crisp sound, Kyle Walker's heart seemed to break.

Chu Feng seemed to have anticipated this. He suddenly shook his body and stopped the ball with the inside of his left foot.

He dodged Kyle Walker's interception in a split second! The Manchester City fans in the stands witnessed everything, their expressions gradually became dull, unable to believe what they saw.

But they soon regained their composure.

Although Kompany is old, he is not far from retirement.

But he has rich defensive experience, especially in assisting defense.

He waited until Chu Feng's movements were fully utilized before he stepped forward to steal the ball, but the scene that followed made him regret it deeply.

What is the top-level change of center of gravity and movement connection? After Chu Feng stopped the football, he touched the ball again in an instant, and the whole person rushed out like an arrow from a string!

By the time Kompany arrived, it was too late! In an area of ​​just a few square meters, Manchester United's No. 7 darts and performs a performance that makes the Etihad Stadium pale in comparison.

Ederson directed his teammates to defend the middle, while he himself stood at the near post.

There is no shooting angle, no passing route. Even if you pass the defender on the left side, what does it matter? God's perspective.

Chu Feng was like a lighthouse in the vast ocean, standing alone near the bottom line of the penalty area.

Three dimensional!

An alternative way of thinking helped him find the answer!

The nimble right foot slightly raised touched everyone's heartstrings.

Ederson quickly reached out to save the ball, but the time left was too short and he could only watch the ball pass over his head in despair.

It seemed as if a gorgeous rainbow appeared in Manchester City’s penalty area!

"Otamendi!"

"Back hook to clear the ball! He didn't kick it out and the ball hit the net!"

“This ball goes in!!!”

“The ultimate embodiment of personal heroism!”

"He single-handedly destroyed Manchester City's right-wing defense!"

"Chu Feng used extremely agile passing and imaginative lobs to help Manchester United regain the lead!"

“It’s unbelievable!”

Zhan Jun was so excited that he was incoherent and his voice began to tremble.

This was exactly the scene he had been expecting! Zhang Lu also stood up, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, as if he couldn't imagine what he was seeing.

This breakthrough was amazing, especially against Manchester City.

Although De Bruyne and Kyle Walker's defensive skills are not very high, this is also terrifying.
