Chapter 186 The sky in Manchester is red!
Nearly 10 million fans in the LeTV Sports live broadcast room all made exaggerated expressions and watched the slow-motion images on the screen.
Every move was so realistic and the whole process was so leisurely, which perfectly demonstrated his sense of the ball and confidence.
From De Bruyne to Kyle Walker, and then to Kompany, no one touched the ball. Ederson was in a mess at the end and was teased by a lob shot.
To exaggerate a little, Chu Feng single-handedly broke through Manchester City's right side and completed a beautiful shot.
How could they not be excited?
The comments on the screen fell like snowflakes. - [De Bruyne can explode, Xiao Chu can also explode! ] - [What is a key player? It means being able to stand up at the critical moment. After a season of training, Xiao Chu can fully support the attack on the left side. ] - [To be honest, the Manchester City players have done well enough. Who knew that three people could not defend one? ] - [Kompany is still old. The step he took just now was not fast enough, otherwise he would have been directly cut off. ] - [Stones didn't play today, otherwise the backcourt should be better. ] - [You really think too much. Stones is good at dribbling and passing, and his defensive skills are not as good as Kompany. If he is on the court, Xiao Chu can play more comfortably. ] - [.]
The camera returns to the green field.
As soon as Chu Feng completed his signature celebration, Manchester United fans followed the rhythm of his fist pumping and let out a deafening roar.
They also gradually came to like this interactive celebration and felt an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and participation.
Manchester United players also gathered around Chu Feng and waved their arms wildly.
This goal boosted their morale to the greatest extent, sweeping away the shadow of Manchester City's previous goal, and everyone was full of confidence in the final victory.
In contrast, the eyes of the Manchester City players were a little dull, as if they had not yet recovered from the goal they had just scored.
Kyle Walker rubbed his crotch and found that his teammates were looking at him vaguely. He said angrily: "I tried my best to defend, but the boy's movements were too fast and there was no time for me to react."
"I'm not making excuses. No one can defend against this."
Kompany nodded silently upon hearing this, and fully agreed with Kyle Walker's statement.
Then he suddenly thought that he was getting old and maybe he should retire after playing for one more season and it would be nice to be a head coach.
Ederson tightened his gloves and looked at De Gea opposite him.
He transferred from Benfica to Manchester City for 40 million euros this season. He believes that among the Premier League goalkeepers, only De Gea, Courtois and Pickford can compare with him, and he will surpass them sooner or later to become the best goalkeeper in the world.
Winning the Premier League title in the first season is a good start.
But things gradually developed away from his ideas. Manchester United's strength was a little unexpected, and he couldn't help but feel a little negative.
"Oh my God!"
Guardiola held his head in his hands on the sidelines, a look of disbelief. He had thought about conceding a goal to Manchester United, but he didn't expect it to be in this way.
He encountered the same players when he coached Barcelona.
No matter how you defend against him, he will eventually break through you. It's just that he was the beneficiary at that time, but now he has become the victim.
It’s really a different feeling.
Mourinho next door was not much better. He subconsciously pulled his gray hair and was obviously shocked by Chu Feng's performance.
It’s not like he hasn’t coached players with strong breakthrough abilities.
Hazard, Robben, Ronaldo and so on.
But Chu Feng gave him a different feeling. The combination of unparalleled impact and extremely delicate technique was like a tank drifting, which was really too incongruous.
"Boss, how do we adjust next?"
Faria interrupted Mourinho's thoughts and hesitated for a moment. "It's too early. Let Manchester City make substitutions first, and then we can make targeted adjustments."
Now that Manchester United holds the initiative in the game, it would be best if the situation on the field remains the same.
Soon, Guardiola made a substitution.
Jesus replaces B Silva.
Although the Brazilian boy is only 175cm tall, he is a traditional center at heart with excellent positioning and finishing abilities.
He can be said to be Aguero's successor.
But he is often confused by Guardiola's imaginative tactics and doesn't know how he should play football.
It can be said that his tactical understanding is too weak, or it can be said that Guardiola often makes trouble.
So he usually spends most of his time on the bench. Just now he was expecting Manchester City to score a goal so that he would have a chance to play.
I didn’t expect my wish to come true.
Jesus rushed to his position excitedly, he wanted to be Manchester City's savior and let the Etihad cheer for him.
He can do what Manchester United's No. 7 can do!
Jesus is full of confidence in himself.
The game starts again.
Manchester City players understand that the more times like this happen, the less anxious they should be.
You must first control the ball to ensure the efficiency of the offense.
The data of the two teams are displayed on the LED screen next to the court.
Manchester City had a possession rate of 66% and an attack number of 75, leading in all statistics, including the number of fouls.
Although Manchester City may seem like a modest gentleman on the surface, they are never vague when it comes to committing fouls, especially in the pressing stage in the frontcourt.
78th minute of the game.
Manchester City created another chance on the right side of the ribs. De Bruyne used up his last bit of energy to send an extremely tricky long diagonal pass.
But this time the Manchester United players quickly completed the exchange, with De Gea punching the ball out of the penalty area.
David Silva from the outside tried a lob shot.
The force was a little too strong and the football flew over the crossbar.
Guardiola made another substitution, replacing De Bruyne with Gundogan and Sterling with Aguero.
Both are offensive players.
Manchester City fans in the stands sang the melodious team song, and some shouted a string of strange numbers.
9230!
May 13, 2012 marks the end of the 11-12 Premier League season, but it remains unknown who will bring a perfect end to this Premier League season.
Manchester City will host Queens Park Rangers at home, and they can only win the championship if they win by a large margin at home.
But the 90 minutes on the field passed in a flash, and the score between the two sides was still tied at 2-2. Manchester City fans were already in despair at that time.
But miracles always happen in desperate moments, Aguero scored the winning goal against Queens Park Rangers in the last seconds.
The time was frozen at 92 minutes and 30 seconds! In the end, Manchester City beat Manchester United with a goal difference advantage and won the first top league championship since 1968.
As the Manchester City players listened to the familiar melody, endless fighting spirit rose in their hearts and everyone regained their motivation.
If they could create miracles back then, why can't they do it today?
Everything depends on human effort!
Manchester United fans recalled the tragic events of that year and sang the team song that symbolizes the Red Devils.
The high and loud melody gradually drifted out of the Etihad Stadium and towards the blood-red sunset in the distance.
The expressions of Manchester United fans were solemn. As they watched the players fighting on the green field, a strong sense of confidence rose in their hearts.
Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City. They have defeated all the strong opponents along the way. No one can stop them. Manchester United will not lose today.
They want to take their destiny firmly into their own hands.
When the game reached the 80th minute.
Mourinho used three substitutions at once, McTominay replaced Rashford, Lindelof replaced Chu Feng, and Lingard replaced Herrera.
It was obvious that they were going to park the bus and defend it to the death.
Amid the applause of Manchester United fans, Chu Feng and his teammates left the field. After hugging Mourinho, they became nervous players on the bench.
Their eyes kept moving with the football.
When Manchester City created a threatening attack, they subconsciously exclaimed, and when Manchester United resolved the attack, they all smiled.
Although there are only 22 people on the football field, no one knows how many people's hearts are touched by it.
"Manchester United's defense was very resolute. They covered most of the area with their physical advantage and committed fouls decisively in non-dangerous areas."
"It was very utilitarian and ugly."
"But compared to winning, none of that means anything."
83rd minute of the game.
David Silva made a breakthrough on the left flank, cooperated with Sane in front of him, and then transferred the ball to the right side in a large area.
Gundogan! The German is an all-around midfielder who can play in all midfield positions and has a strong ability to read the game.
In particular, he dares to ask for the ball in front of the defense line and guides the direction of the attack through long passes and through passes.
Before he could pass the ball, Lingard suddenly rushed from the side.
Gundogan could only dribble the ball to get rid of it, but Lingard was like a piece of taffy, once stuck, it wouldn't fall off.
His position at Manchester United is a troublemaker.
It does sound harsh, but it is very true.
Whether it is the opponent's offense or defense, he can make it chaotic through his unremitting running.
Lingard felt his energy declining rapidly, but he still stuck closely to Gundogan.
Due to his slow physical development, he was still training with U16 players at the age of 18.
He once thought he was a player who would never play football.
But the emergence of Mourinho changed his fate.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Mourinho always has full confidence in him and always sends him on the field in big games.
Lingard gritted his teeth and rushed towards the football again.
All he can do is repay Mourinho's trust with outstanding performance.
Just like the FA Cup final in the 15/16 season, that long shot that caught the whole world's attention.
If Kante increases his coverage area through awareness.
Then Lingard uses the dumbest method, which is to never stop running.
The ball was once again transferred to David Silva's feet.
This time it was McTominay who took the lead.
He was like a mad dog, biting his enemies madly.
Even though David Silva has excellent ball control skills, he still feels tremendous pressure.
Between 2013 and 2015, he made just seven appearances for Manchester United's U18 side.
Among them, the total playing time in the 2013/14 season was less than 120 minutes!
Due to his height and physical defects, he couldn't even last a full 90-minute game.
Bullying from his peers even made him think about giving up football.
But he finally persevered.
The most ruthless trainer in Manchester United is Chu Feng, and the second is McTominay.
So he grew from that skinny boy to the tall young man he is today.
5 km, 15 minutes 54 seconds.
This result is not only the best among all Premier League players, but also enough to rank among the top 30 in the British professional 5km race this season.
Only he himself knows the sweat left behind.
At the 60th anniversary ceremony of the Munich air disaster, Sir Alex Ferguson pointed at McTominay and reminded Mourinho to use him more.
Mourinho also appreciates this hard-working disciple.
McTominay used his strong body to hold David Silva back, not giving the opponent any space or chance to break through.
His face was covered with sweat.
A conversation I had with Mourinho flashed through my mind.
"Kid, there is no place for you in Manchester United. Go out and gain experience for two years and come back. I promise you will become better."
"I don't want to be loaned out, I want to prove myself at Manchester United."
The tone of his answer at that time was so firm.
He is willing to fight for Manchester United and willing to stick to Manchester United.
He believes that there will always be a stage that belongs to him, waiting for his light to shine.
Finally, due to McTominay's interference, the ball was kicked out of bounds.
David Silva gasped violently, looked seriously at the young man in front of him, and then smiled bitterly.
"Scott, great job!"
A hoarse voice suddenly came from the bench, and Chu Feng was standing on the bench and roaring.
Ever since he beat up Mitchell, the two have become friends who can talk about anything.
He doesn't think he is a selfish person, so after receiving systematic knowledge, he chose to train with McTominay.
He hopes to see Xiaomai's excellent performance and looks forward to the moment when he and Xiaomai lift the championship trophy together.
Because that is the story of their growth and struggle.
McTominay smiled brightly and continued to defend.
Without superb defensive skills, he would use crazy confrontation and turn himself into a mad dog that scared his opponents.
Mourinho's cold expression gradually melted, and it seemed to be mixed with relief and happiness.
In the little time left.
Manchester City continued to launch a fierce attack.
Every Manchester United player went crazy.
A blood-pumping confrontation, an exciting tackle, and an attitude of not sparing any efforts.
89th minute of the game.
Gundogan suddenly shot from outside the penalty area, but De Gea accidentally dropped the ball, and it fell right between Aguero and Smalling.
The tough guy knelt down without hesitation and headed the ball to De Gea with his knee.
The sunset in Manchester is like a raging fire, burning the vast sky into blood red.
In the afterglow of sunset.
The red jerseys of Manchester United players on the green field are becoming more and more vivid.
Etihad Stadium.
The melodious and graceful melody gradually faded away, replaced by a hoarse voice and an exciting rhythm.
The fourth official raised the LED board and 3 minutes of injury time were added.
This is Manchester City's last chance.
They still did not give up the attack, and it was not only the Manchester United players who had stories, they also had secrets buried in their hearts.
That is the source of strength that keeps them going.
The desire for victory will not be easily erased, it will only become more crazy as time goes by.
All 10 Manchester City players crossed the half court.
Impact, impact, impact. The only thing in their eyes is Manchester United's goal. All their passes and dribbles are to get closer to the goal.
"Aguero shoots from outside the penalty area!"
"De Gea didn't make any more low-level mistakes! He saved the ball safely out of the baseline!"
"Manchester City's corner kick! They chose a tactical corner kick and moved to the front of the penalty area again!"
"Fernandinho made a lob pass into the penalty area!"
"Sane's shot!"
"Kicked David Luiz in the face! Bounced out of the baseline again!"
Jesus anxiously yelled at the caddy, asking him to throw the ball over quickly, but the two short and one long whistles suddenly sounded.
He suddenly lost all his strength and collapsed on the wet grass.
He looked up at the blood-red sunset.
It turns out that the sky in Manchester is red.
