heir to the red devil

Chapter 803 The Champion
The first half of the game is over, and the Manchester City players are a little frustrated. They did not perform well today and fell behind by two goals in the first half.

When the players walked into the dressing room, Guardiola was already there.Instead of criticizing the performances of his players, he scribbled on the tactical board.

"We had a lot of problems in the first half. This has something to do with Manchester United's good form recently, and it also has something to do with our tactics. In the first half, Pogbabi Kante was completely blocked, and the team's offense was blocked. , so the pressure on the defensive end is so great."

"After the start of the second half of the game, Silva's position is premised, tied with Pogba to form a double midfielder. Both of you have the right to share the ball. Once one person is blocked, the other person will be in charge of the team's offense. comb."

"If that's the case, the defensive pressure on Fernandinho will be a lot more. Stones, in the right situation, you can come out of the box and help the defense and push the overall defensive system forward. Some, and Caballero has more space to handle the ball."

During the half-time break, Guardiola did not make any substitution adjustments. He knew that the team is not a problem with anyone now, so after making tactical changes, the team's second half of play has more new ideas .

In the locker room of the home team, Kintag was also communicating with the players.

"Guys, now we are leading 2-0, the situation is in our favor. But in the second half Manchester City will definitely increase the strength of the attack. For example, in the midfield, they will probably increase their strength, maybe remove a midfielder and replace them with a striker. They may remove a defender and add a striker, but in general, Manchester City will be more unscrupulous in the second half, after all, they are already two goals behind, and they have no right to be conservative.”

"So we have to make some changes in the second half. Kroos should return to the defense appropriately to help Kante defend. And Alonso and Kimmich should try to compress the defensive space as much as possible to prevent the opponent from rushing up. There are several speed players in the Manchester City team. Fast guys, no matter Aguero or Sterling, they start very fast, don't let them have the chance to cut inside and cross."

Like Guardiola, Kintag did not make substitution adjustments in the midfield. He just made some tactical fine-tuning based on his own judgment.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City took the lead in kick-off.Their offense suddenly rose, which made the Manchester United players a little unexpected.

"Aguero broke through the midfield with the ball! Kante came in diagonally, but he couldn't keep up with the speed of the Argentine!"

"He swayed Koulibaly! A shot in the box! De Gea blocked the ball with his foot!"

"It was too dangerous just now! Aguero's shot went straight to the near corner. If De Gea hadn't reacted quickly, then Manchester United would have lost the ball!"

"Manchester City attack again! This time it's Gundogan's pass! Over to the other side of the field!"

"Sterling got the ball! He tried to use the speed to tear through Manchester United's defense! Kimmich was chasing back quickly! Sterling crossed! Pogba inserted the header from the back row! The goal scored!"

"With less than 10 minutes into the second half, Manchester City equalized the score!"

"2 to 1! Manchester City once again rekindled the hope of victory!"

The loss of the ball made Jin Taige a little unhappy.He clearly told Alonso and Kimmich to compress the defensive space, why did he let Gundogan and Sterling pass the ball in a wide range on both sides of the court?
Jin Taige came to the sidelines and whistled at the two full backs. The two knew that they were largely responsible for the conceded goal just now, so they waved their hands to Jin Taige at the same time to express their apologies.

Over the next period of time, Manchester United gradually stabilized.When Kimmich shoveled down Sterling fiercely, the England teenager struggled to get up from the ground, and he knew how powerful Kimmich was.At this time, the Manchester City players signaled Kimmich to foul in order to come over, but the referee signaled that Kimmich's tackle just now was neat, and the ball was no longer within Sterling's control, so Kimmich's tackle did not foul.

Scholes on the sidelines said with a smile: "Captain, I find that Kimmich is becoming more and more like Ram."

Jin Taige also nodded: "You are right, he is indeed somewhat similar to Lahm. He plays steadily, has a big picture, can play multiple positions in the backcourt, and is excellent in passing and long-range shots. It is really rare. The full-back option."

Kimmich has just dedicated a wonderful tackle here, and Alonso has also shown his power over there.

In the battle with Gundogan on the left, he completely defeated his opponent.But instead of passing the ball this time, he dribbled straight into City's half.

"Alonso sprints through City's half, the defender with the knife starts his own show time!"

"Fernandinho goes up! Alonso passes the ball to Griezmann, then runs around the opponent!"

"Griezmann didn't stop the ball after receiving the ball, picked the ball directly past Silva who was pressing up, and passed it to the wing."

"Alonso catches the ball! Sagna comes up! Alonso wants to keep going to the baseline!"

"He made a feint and cut inside!"

"Take a long shot! The ball goes in!"

"In the 67th minute of the game, Manchester United broke through Manchester City's goal again! This goal is entirely due to Alonso! He pierced Manchester City's wing defense alone! The final shot is also very exciting!"

"3 to 1! Manchester United's victory is in sight!"

At this time, Guardiola couldn't sit still. He made continuous substitution adjustments. Keylor Navas, Delph and Ishinacho all appeared on the stage, and Manchester City's formation became 3-3-4.He wanted to seize the last few minutes, score as quickly as possible and equalize.

On Manchester United's side, Kintag also mobilized troops and condemned generals.Instead of playing conservative defense, he made matchup substitutions and replaced players with declining physical strength.Dembele, Mahrez and Nainggolan came on, replacing Lewandowski, Salah and Kroos.

In the 81st minute of the game, Manchester United's substitutions had an effect.

"Dembele made continuous breakthroughs on the right. He and Griezmann crossed positions and reached the middle of the penalty area!"

"Griezmann sucked away part of Manchester City's defense, Dembele has a lot of space in front of him!"

"Dembele's low kick! Goes in!"

"At the last moment of the game, the French genius Dembele scored again!"

"Dembele has been in fantastic form in the last few games. Dembele has been in good form since he was brought out of the reserves by Kintag. In the Champions League game against Paris, Dembele scored an assist. A hat-trick; another goal and two assists in the last FA Cup game; another goal in just 10 minutes today!"

"4 to 1! Manchester United won the League Cup!"
