Football: From Bundesliga debut

During the intermission, Pellegrini emphasized the defense on the right.

Judging from the first half, the current defense on the right is simply a corridor for Ashley Young.

If you can't hold it, it is impossible for Manchester City to recover the score in the second half.

But for this season, winning or losing has no effect on the overall situation. As an old man who has been coaching for many years, he knows very well that any guy at Stamford Bridge will not relax easily before the championship is won.

In other words, pinning your hopes on others is a very uncertain factor!
Rather than waiting for opponents to make mistakes, Pellegrini prefers to hold the initiative in his hands.

Judging from the overall trend of this game, Manchester City has exposed many problems at present. The control of the midfield is not enough, and the defense on the sideline is full of loopholes. If it is really against a strong team, it will be a nightmare for them.

Fortunately, this season is coming to an end, and there is still a summer window to strengthen.

The team needs reinforcements in all lines. The priority is the defense, followed by the midfield, and finally the striker.

If you want to fight on multiple lines, you need to have a deep bench, otherwise it is easy to collapse on multiple lines!
Such examples are not uncommon, just like the previous Arsenal, many times leading all the way to the most critical moment, they collapsed across the board.

For Xia Chuang, it will be a midfielder who needs to be reinforced, which Pellegrini did not expect, but he also has a crisis in his heart, because this is not his style.

I'm afraid Manchester is about to change!
At the beginning of the second half, Manchester United took the lead in attacking.

Rooney's pressure forced Manchester City's central defenders to pay attention to Rooney, and the activity of Mata and Ashley Young on the sideline also made Manchester City's sideline suffer.

Coupled with Fellaini in the midfield and Herrera who was a little behind, Manchester City's defense could only be forced to shrink.

In the 63rd minute of the game, Mata passed back to Herrera.

Herrera, who was in possession of the ball, paused for a moment, he kicked through, the football went directly through the middle of the double midfielder, and Rooney in the frontcourt received the pass.

For such a situation, Demichelis stepped forward to defend but was dunked by Rooney, and then Lu Xiaopang hit the goal directly!
But the football didn't penetrate Joe Hart's fingers.

The football was blocked.

Kompany made a big-foot clearance.

Although it was a clearance, the ball was not picked up by Manchester City.

This is one of the reasons why Manchester United are making a comeback.

Manchester United's Carrick observes the situation, he kicks a long ball to Valencia on the right.

As an old teammate, he naturally knows Antonio's strength.

After Valencia unloaded the ball, he took it directly to the penalty area. At this time, Zheng Lin, who was the defender, quickly followed.

Facing Zheng Lin's defense, he is very aware of this little guy's ability. Although his shooting skills are not superb, he still has other ways to help the team win the final victory.

Mata, who runs with Valencia, is between Demichelis and Clichy at this time, which is another nail inserted behind the defender, and Moussa Sissoko needs to pay attention to the same forward Herrera and Fellaini.

Especially Fellaini, this cannot be defended by one person, his big body is an invincible weapon in the card position.

After dribbling the ball horizontally for a few meters, Valencia sent it straight with one kick.

What happened next was a bit embarrassing.

Mata, who received the ball, sent a fake shot to Rooney in the middle.

Lu Xiaopang was very straightforward this time, he kicked the football, and the ball shot towards the goal like a sharp arrow off the string.

However, at this time, Joe Hart seemed to be hanging up, and once again blocked the shot.

Demichelis, who reacted, directly kicked the ball out of the baseline.

This is a corner kick, and for Manchester United, it is another good goal that threatens the goal!
The right corner was taken by Valencia.

At this time, Manchester City's penalty area is already overcrowded, especially Manchester United's several powerful header players have gathered here, which puts pressure on Manchester City's defense.

"The corner kick was taken, and everyone in the penalty area has already used their magical powers."

"GOALL!!!"

"Smolin's header brought Manchester United a two-goal lead. At this time, there is not much time left for Manchester City!"

Yes, there is not much time left for Manchester City, especially when Smalling scored for Manchester United, there were less than 30 minutes left. When Manchester United defended with all their strength, at this time, Manchester City wanted to equalize the score. difficulty.

And the fans of Dream Theater also started their ridicule. For them, as long as it is not the rivals in the same city who won the championship with Liverpool, then what is unacceptable?
By the way, there is also Leeds United, but among these three teams, the least likely to win the championship is Leeds United!

The boos from the Dream Theater made Zheng Lin a little dazed, but he quickly recovered and lowered his head. For him, victory is an addictive taste. He can gain face from joining Manchester City in the first season. He is already addicted to the feeling of becoming a champion.

And the situation in the second season made him realize one thing - that is why those clubs can be called giants. It is because of their background and rich background, which is why they stand out from the crowd.

At present, there are only a few top giants in European football, which is why some players try their best to get into the giants.

This is not just a question of money, but more importantly, a question of competition.

The giants of the Premier League-Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, even if these four clubs are skinny camels, the distance is not greater than the average!
Especially their gold-lettered signs have attracted countless players to yearn for here.

Losing to Barcelona is a matter of their own strength. Although they fight to the end, it is not enough to smooth the gap between them, let alone in the league. Once they get used to it, Chelsea's strength is still able to stand out from the crowd. .

The game restarts.

Manchester City dominated the attack.

On the court, if he still wears this jersey, Zheng Lin will have to work hard for it and bring victory to the club.

This is a matter of professional ethics, Zheng Lin does not allow himself to accept the taste of failure without hard work.

Along with his running, Mata gave up defense and chose to interfere with the passing line given to Zheng Lin, because it is a silly behavior to simply confront Zheng Linbi physically.

There is still time, Manchester City does not intend to admit defeat, and Manchester United, with two goals in hand, is starting to wait for work. They want to counterattack and score another goal, so that this city rival can know whose world Manchester is here!

Regarding Mata's defensive choice, David Silva understood it instantly, but the target he was looking for was not simply Zheng Lin, and Berardi's inside cut on the right should not be underestimated.

When Zheng Lin went straight behind Smalling, Berardi also appeared where he should appear.

David Silva's through ball opened it up for him.

After Berardi received the ball, he did not make any adjustments and shot directly into the far corner.

At this time, De Gea, who had not yet grown into a "Duck Dad", was not enough to save the ball.

"drop!"

"The game ended at 5-4. Manchester City lost to Manchester United by one goal. This is a happy day for Manchester United. Keep the initiative in the top four."

"Manchester City's chances of winning the championship are already very slim, but there is no problem with their Champions League qualification!"

For Manchester United fans, apart from winning the championship, there is nothing more joyful than seeing a rival in the same city lose, especially losing to their own team!
