Football: From Bundesliga debut

In the 22nd round of the league, after the two sides won the game respectively, they will meet again-the semi-finals of the League Cup.

But for Manchester City, this is not good news, because Manchester City's current injury situation is not too optimistic.

At present, the injury list that Manchester City has announced includes: Kompany, Benjamin Mendy, Jesus, Foden.

As for Manchester United, the veteran is in an injury situation. For them, they are not injured yet. Carrick and Fellaini are currently unable to play. This is an important rotation and not fatal.

Judging from the media's predictions, everyone is optimistic that Manchester United can win the game, but considering the two-round system, many of them will think that Manchester United will eventually keep a tie in the first round away game.

This is Mourinho's consistent tactic, so it is not difficult for them, and they can even steal a counterattack in passive defense, so that if they fail, they will be able to win the away game!
Guardiola wanted to know what Mourinho would do once he won away from home.

It's not like he hasn't experienced such a thing before. When he met Inter Milan and Real Madrid before, that posture made him feel extremely headache, but now he doesn't want to try it. It's too troublesome.

There is another one that he feels ugly on the face once the car overturns, but he still worries a little bit in his heart, that is, football is played by players.

For this game, his prediction is as follows:
[Goalkeeper: Bravo

Defense: Danilo, Stones, Mangala, Zinchenko
Midfielders: Bernardo Silva, Ilkay Gundogan, De Bruyne

Forwards: Sterling, Aguero, Sane

Subs: Kyle Walker, Fernandinho, etc.]

Although it is a bit risky, people don't believe that Manchester United will start all the games. After all, this is just a small English League Cup.

For Mourinho's understanding, he still stays in the past, but he is not like this now.

If there is a chance to compete for the championship, and it will not affect the follow-up personnel arrangement, Mourinho will fight for it. The small three championships of the previous year, so can this year be raised by a level?

If you can, Mourinho will do it!
So in this game, he chose to use a lineup dominated by young people:

[Frontcourt: Depay, Ibrahimovic, Rashford
Midfielders: Herrera, Rice, Zheng Lin

Defense: Theo Hernandez, Maguire, Blind, Ashraf Hakimi

Goalkeeper: Dean Henderson
Substitutes: Morata, Kante, Thiago Silva, etc.]

Although there are not too many main players, everything that should be there is there. For the away game, what Manchester United requires is a draw, and even a small loss is not a problem.

The popularity of this game naturally attracted a lot of media, and even the more provocative media also took the initiative to dig out some exciting news.

But they can only make a trip in vain. The players on both sides, including the coach, are extremely official about the game, which makes them a little disappointed.

For Manchester City, which is playing at home, this is a game that determines whether they can win a trophy this season, and this will naturally allow Manchester City players to work hard.

During the brief adaptation to the field, the commentator also talked about this game. Both sides did not arrange their strongest lineup due to various reasons, but they did not really want to give up this game.

After all, this is at least related to this championship battle, so they shouldn't play too casually!
At the Etihad Stadium, referee Anthony Taylor whistled and the game officially started.

Manchester United was the first to attack. For some reason, they didn't seem to have a strong desire to attack at the beginning of the game. They were more passing and cutting the ball in the midfield, which made the commentators a little confused.

"Are they trying to play a friendly game?"

Seeing that Manchester United has not moved forward, the commentator also finds it a bit boring. Although they know that they are tired of fighting in multiple lines, this is the profession of players. What they compete for is the championship trophy. If they are not interested, That's really meaningless.

In the 12th minute of the game, Zheng Lin received a horizontal knock from Herrera. He pushed with his left foot and sent it straight to the frontcourt player.

But the midfielder in this game is Gundogan, and the German's temperament will not let football pass like this.

"Gündogan's interception made Zheng Lin's through ball return in vain. He split the ball to Bernardo Silva. At this time, Manchester City's attack is coming!"

Bernardo Silva's advancement made Manchester United's players "recovery" at this time. In the intensive schedule, the players will inevitably have some fatigue, and this is what happened to Manchester United in this game .

This is a spiritual situation. Judging from the previous period of time, Manchester United's desire to win is not high at present, but you cannot underestimate them because they have the ability to fight back.

"Bernardo Silva made the same pass, Aguero didn't make adjustments after receiving the ball and went straight to the goal from a small angle!"

"Dean Henderson! Manchester United's third goalkeeper made a contribution!"

After a successful save, Dean Henderson yelled at Harry Maguire in the defense, which undoubtedly reminded the opponent not to be so careless in the game!
At this time, the commentator discovered a very interesting thing about Manchester United, that is, Manchester United's goalkeeper, central defender, and midfielder are all English. Although they are still young, they will undoubtedly be regulars of the national team.

However, among the three of them, Henderson's situation is not very good. After all, there is De Gea in front of him.
Henderson, who was holding the ball, waited for a while. He observed the positions of several players in the frontcourt, and he took a big kick.

"Is this a direct counterattack? This footwork is great!"

Seeing that Ibrahimovic can do it alone, Zheng Lin, who followed up, took the lead to control the ball.

"Zheng Lin chose a through ball again. After receiving the ball, Rashford hit the goal with the outside instep on the right!"

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Manchester United still took the lead in scoring goals in this game. Although they are not in the front, Manchester United's performance is worthy of their dominance in the league!"

"It's too early to say Manchester United are dominant in the league, but their performance will get better with time!"

Guardiola had thought of conceding the first goal at home, but he didn't expect it to be in such a form, the goalkeeper kicked off, Ibrahimovic would do it, the midfielder was passing the ball, and then scored.
He is a little helpless about this situation, but he is also a little curious, is Manchester United rich in goalkeepers?

How come there are goalkeepers who have performed exceptionally well one after another!
