Chapter 849 Ferguson is anxious!
When the game reached the 37th minute, the referee Marina raised the red card high towards Smalling, and the entire Old Trafford stadium booed. All Manchester United fans were dissatisfied with the penalty.
The Manchester United players on the field were also extremely angry. Smalling almost broke free from Vidic and rushed towards the referee Marina. It was obvious that he had great disagreement with the penalty.
This was a foul outside the penalty area.
It was Su Dong who took the initiative to retreat again. After receiving the pass from his teammate, he made a series of passes with David Silva in a small area, completing a beautiful cooperation. He then inserted the ball and ran straight into the penalty area. Smalling was the last defensive player.
At that time, the Manchester United central defender was chasing Su Dong desperately, but Su Dong's starting speed was too fast, and he almost left Smalling behind him in an instant. If he was allowed to rush into the penalty area with the ball, he would have a one-on-one opportunity.
Smalling chased after Su Dong and made an obvious pulling motion, causing Su Dong to lose balance and fall outside the penalty area.
In the referee circle of European football, as long as Su Dong falls in the penalty area, it goes without saying that a penalty kick will be given directly.
This time, the situation seems to be the same.
Although Su Dong did not fall in the penalty area, he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground after he had clearly shaken off Smalling, and Smalling made an obvious pulling action, the result was already very obvious.
After losing the defense against Su Dong, the Manchester United center back decisively chose to foul.
But unfortunately, he was the last defender left.
In other words, his foul must be punished most severely.
Red card!
…
Ferguson was sitting in the home team's coaching booth, watching the referee Marina raise the red card to Smalling. He smiled helplessly, his smile full of irony.
He was not too dissatisfied with the decision.
Even if he is really dissatisfied, it must be directed at his own players.
But he really couldn't blame Smalling, because they were already trailing 0-2, and if they lost another goal, it would be 0-3.
Arsenal just lost 1-9 at their home ground. Is Manchester United going to repeat Arsenal's mistake?
It is understandable that Smalin pulled Su Dong down in desperation.
He found it ironic that before the game, he had praised the referee team in front of the media, thinking that even the referee was helping him, but he didn't expect that Marina would be so disrespectful to him during the game.
Marina is a famous referee in the Premier League. The last time he officiated a Manchester City game, he sent off a Manchester City player. That was last season, and Guardiola was furious at the post-match press conference.
At that time, Manchester City was still struggling to qualify for the Europa League.
The fourth official Atkinson is Manchester United's lucky star.
Atkinson was the referee in last season's Manchester derby. The two sides were tied at 3-3 at the time. It was Atkinson who gave a controversial seven minutes of stoppage time, which helped Manchester United to score a goal by Owen in stoppage time, and eventually beat Manchester City 4-3 and got the precious three points.
Guardiola was also furious after the game, thinking that this was a shady deal and that Ferguson was manipulating the referee.
For this, Guardiola was severely warned by the referee committee, who believed that he should show more respect to the referee team.
Originally, Ferguson thought that these two referees would bring him good luck, but he didn't expect that when the game started, such a result would be waiting for him.
The first half was only half an hour in, and they were two goals behind and had one player sent off. How could they continue playing this game? But before Ferguson could digest the red card, he saw Su Dong standing on the penalty spot.
In an instant, the Manchester United coach ignored everything and rushed to the sidelines, yelling at his players, signaling them to be careful because the free kick was within Su Dong's shooting range.
"Damn it, be careful!"
Ferguson is anxious!
…
Su Dong stood at the penalty spot, heard Ferguson's roar, turned his head to look at the Scottish old man in front of the home team's coaching seat, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The hair dryer really doesn't blow! He's already old, but he's still so angry! Manchester United players immediately formed a human wall. Su Dong slowly stepped back three steps, stood still, and silently looked at Manchester United's human wall and Van der Sar behind the human wall.
When the referee Marina blew the whistle, Su Dong took a deep breath and quickly ran forward.
The entire Old Trafford Stadium was so quiet that the only sound was the sound of Su Dong kicking the ball.
Then we saw the ball fly up quickly like a flash of lightning, pass over the heads of the wall of people, and fall straight into the upper right corner of the goal.
Van der Sar leaned sideways and dived, but he was still not faster than the lightning.
The ball went into the net! "Hat trick!!!!"
"Su Dong scored a hat trick again, 3-0!!!"
"My God, Manchester City is about to slaughter Manchester United!"
"It's only the first half and Manchester City are already three goals ahead and have one more player than their opponents."
"Manchester City is really playing like crazy this season!"
"Who would have thought that not long ago, they had just defeated Arsenal 9-1 at the Emirates Stadium, creating the most humiliating score in Arsenal's history, and now, Manchester City seems to be planning to complete a crazy bloody massacre against Manchester United at Old Trafford."
…
Ferguson was obviously aware of this, so after Smalling was sent off, he immediately made a substitution, decisively sacrificing the offense and letting Wes Brown come on as a substitute to strengthen the team's defense.
However, Ferguson's careful plan before the game to use Nani to attack Marcelo completely failed, as Manchester City did not give him the chance to use this killer move.
Before the end of the first half, Su Dong took the initiative to pull out of the penalty area to support the attack and headed the ball to Toni Kroos, who then passed it to the right. Milner rushed to the bottom line of the penalty area with the ball and passed it to the back post. Di Maria followed up and shot directly, scoring another goal for Manchester City, 4-0! If Su Dong's hat trick put Manchester United in a desperate situation, then Di Maria's goal made the Red Devils completely desperate, and even gave up!
…
During the half-time break, Guardiola affirmed the team's performance in the first half and believed that the players should continue to work hard.
Ferguson did not adjust the team's tactics, in fact he did not have many adjustment plans.
Manchester United's starting lineup and substitute lineup are there, and this is the best solution the Red Devils can come up with.
After the start of the second half, the Red Devils faced Manchester City with a defensive posture.
Manchester City still mainly passed and controlled the ball and was not in a hurry to score goals. Instead, they patiently passed and controlled the ball to constantly stretch Manchester United's defense and constantly consume the physical energy of Manchester United players. This made the home team players feel very frustrated and the fans quite helpless.
Guardiola's passing and controlling style of play is really frustrating, especially when he can't get the ball for a long time.
In the 70th minute, Guardiola made the first substitution of the game.
Replaced Su Dong with Dzeko.
At this time, Manchester United players' physical energy has been almost exhausted.
Dzeko also clearly knows what a rare opportunity this is.
Manchester United is now missing one man, and the players are exhausted both physically and mentally. It's like a dying opponent. Just one more blow and they'll be dead.
With this in mind, Dzeko was very active after coming on the court and frequently created threats.
Under Dzeko's repeated attacks, Manchester United's defense finally collapsed.
In the 84th minute, Manchester City created a corner kick when breaking through on the left.
David Silva took the corner kick, and Gareth Barry, who came on as a substitute, headed the ball to the back post. Dzeko headed the ball into the goal from close range, scoring another goal for Manchester City, 5-0! This time, the entire Old Trafford stadium was furious again!
When has Manchester United ever been beaten so badly by its opponents at its home ground?
But just three minutes later, there was another counterattack. Dzeko passed the ball to David Silva, who rushed into the penalty area and had a single shot on the edge of the small penalty area. He pushed the ball into the goal with his left foot, scoring another goal for Manchester City, 6-0! This time, even Ferguson couldn't sit still.
The Manchester United coach rushed directly to the sidelines and kept yelling at the players on the field, as if asking them to hold on, hold on tightly!
But at this moment, Manchester United's players were obviously exhausted and had no strength to resist Manchester City's attack. But on Manchester City's side, whether it was Dzeko and Gareth Barry who had just come on as substitutes, or David Silva and other players, all were holding back their energy and ready to vent it on Manchester United.
This is the oldest and most prestigious team in the Premier League.
When have you ever seen Manchester United in such a mess? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It has come to this point. If we don't stab Manchester United a few more times, how can we justify this opportunity? So, two minutes after scoring the sixth goal, just as the game was about to enter the stoppage time, David Silva sent another wonderful pass in the counterattack, straight into the penalty area.
After Dzeko successfully made an offside move, he broke into the penalty area alone. Facing Van der Sar, the Bosnian center calmly pushed the ball into the goal, locking the score for Manchester City at 7-0!
What a shame! This is absolutely a shame! "In Manchester United's 100-year history, the last time they were beaten 7-0 at home was 80 or 90 years ago. In Ferguson's coaching career, the worst defeat was 0-5."
"But this time, Manchester United was defeated miserably by their city rivals 7-0 at their home stadium!"
"This is an unprecedented shame in Manchester United's history!"
"Especially because they lost to their city rivals, and Manchester City also made up for their past defeat to Manchester United, which made them feel very proud!"
"Manchester City has performed amazingly this season, especially as the schedule progresses. Guardiola's team has gradually shown its super strength. First, they beat Arsenal 9-1 away from home, and now they beat Manchester United 7-0 at Old Trafford. This is absolutely incredible!"
"Manchester City deserves a Premier League title!"
