Chapter 1161 Strong Defense
Maguire's shot fell to Pogba's feet, and Manchester City's counterattack began.

The three forwards of Manchester City sprinted quickly, and neither the D seat nor the B seat are players who are good at speed.

At this time, Manchester United's Maguire was still in the frontcourt, and only Bailly and right back Valencia were left in the defense. Left backs Mendy and Kanter were quickly chasing back. The other players were far away and did not help the defense. big.

At this time, Lingard and Carrick are pressing Pogba. For them, as long as Pogba is not allowed to play, then this threat can be resolved.

But can they break the ball from Pogba's feet?

"Carrick stuck close to Pogba, not letting him turn; Lingard suddenly put in a tackle, trying to break Pogba's ball in Manchester City's half!"

"The moment Lingard stepped down, Pogba suddenly picked up the ball, directly picked Carrick behind him, and then bypassed the Manchester United captain!"

"Pogba past two Manchester United midfielders! His possession and dribbling are amazing! A long pass! The ball went straight to Sterling on the left!"

"Pogba's handling of the ball is so clever this time! His passing and passing are world-class! If he can maintain this level of competition, then the Ballon d'Or will have a chance to fight!"

"Sterling accelerated forward after receiving the ball! Valencia couldn't keep up with him! But Valencia didn't give up, he got stuck, didn't let Sterling cut inside, and forced him to the baseline! "

"In front of the experienced Valencia, Sterling had no choice but to choose a cross! The ball went straight to Jesus at the far end!"

"Mendy has already chased back in place. Jesus had no chance to go in after receiving the ball. He had to choose to pass the ball to the middle. Aguero received the ball!"

"At this time, there is only Bailey in front of him. Can he pass the opponent and shoot?"

"Aguero pulled the ball gently in the penalty area, but Bailey did not act rashly. At this time, Kanter was returning to the defense at high speed. If Aguero doesn't handle the ball, he will be caught by Kanter!"

"Aguero started! He volleyed the far corner! Bailey stretched out his foot to block it, the ball bounced up, and was cleared by Romero with a big foot!"

"Manchester City's attack was resolved by Manchester United's solid defense!"

"During the defensive process just now, Manchester United's defensive line retreated in a timely manner. Especially Mendy and Valencia, although the two of them were not as fast as the opponent's players, they stuck each other outside the penalty area with their strong bodies. Give the opponent a chance to cut inside. And Bailey's defense against Aguero is also very good, and Romero's position selection is also very reasonable. This time, the attack that was very threatening to Manchester United was resolved like this!"

After defending against a dangerous attack, Phelan on the sidelines was very excited. He was even more excited than seeing the team score a goal.

"Tiger, I was a little worried before this game, fearing that this line of defense wouldn't be able to handle Manchester City's offense, but now that I see it, it's all right, hahahaha!"

Jin Taige is also very happy, it seems that there is no problem with his choice!

Before this game, because of the choice of starting players, Kim Taige and some members of the coaching staff had different opinions, especially Phelan. He suggested that all the main players should be sent for this game.After all, the opponent in this game is the powerful Manchester City. If the players are rotated, there is still some gap in strength; and it will take a week after this game to reach the Champions League final, so it will not have much impact on the physical fitness of the main players.

But Jin Taige didn't think so.What he considers is not the physical strength of the players, but the psychological and respect issues.

This season, due to multi-line battles, Kintag sent an absolute main lineup in important league matches and Champions League matches, while in the league against weak teams and domestic cup matches, almost all of them were rotation players and young players.Under this style of play, Manchester United can effectively ensure the reasonable distribution of physical fitness and deal with multi-line operations, and the final result also proves that Kim Tag's approach is very correct.

Today's FA Cup final is completely different from the previous domestic cups.This is a championship battle. If you send an absolute main force, you will definitely have a better grasp. There is no doubt about this.

But is it really reasonable to do so?
From the beginning to the end of this season, rotation players are playing domestic cups. Now it is the finals, the final match, and after the flowering, it is time to bear fruit, but the rotation players are not allowed to appear, and the main players are discharged.If this is the case, won't the players have any objections?

This is no longer an issue of a game or a championship, it is an issue of respect for players!

Since these rotation players were arranged to play domestic cup games at the beginning of the season, they should stick to it!Even if they compete for the championship, it is their credit, and they should not take away their chance to fight!

With this in mind, Jin Taige dispatched almost all of his rotation players in this game.

In the opening stage of this game, these rotation players all showed excellent form. The excellent defense just now made people shine, and Maguire's header threat was also great.Before that, Carrick's pass to Mbappe and Mbappe's inside shot also showed a world-class level.

Now the Manchester United rotation on the field, they are telling everyone with their excellent performance-we are also players of Manchester United's seven-time champion!We are also the strongest!

After Manchester United resolved this attack, Manchester City launched several consecutive offensives. However, under the full defense of Manchester United's defense, Manchester City's offense did not receive any effect.

In this game, Manchester United's defense is led by Valencia. He is the team's vice-captain and is the "player with a great Red Devil spirit" in Kintag's mouth. His hard work and mental strength make Manchester United's defense impenetrable.

Mendy on the left also played his top strength.He is excellent offensive and defensive on the left, his strong body and outstanding explosive power make him a person that Manchester City players are very unwilling to face. Jesus on the right suffered a lot in front of him.Kintag has praised Mendy more than once, "Healthy Mendy is one of the world's top five left-backs."

The central defender partner of Maguire and Bailey also showed a world-class level.This season, the two of them, as the rotation players of Van Dijk and Coulibaly, have received much less attention, but the defensive combination of the two of them must not be underestimated!
So far in this game, Maguire's solid blockhouse effect and his strong body have made Aguero suffer a lot; and Bailey's flexible grabbing and blocking positions have also made Manchester City's offense near the penalty area ineffective. for ashes.Coupled with Kanter's wide-ranging sweep, Manchester United's defense is overwhelmed!
