heir to the red devil

Chapter 862 A Calm First Half
The visiting team locker room is very intense, while the home team locker room is peaceful and quiet.

Today is different from the past, Kintag did not do any pre-match mobilization work, he looked at the players, looked around, and then slowly said: "Guys, although today is the Champions League final, it is just a very ordinary game. You've been unbeaten in the Premier League this season and unbeaten in the cup, that's a great honor, isn't it?"

"Yes, no. Of course it is great to go unbeaten for a season, there is no doubt about it; but because we are Manchester United, it is a great Manchester United, so it is normal."

"Since I took over as Manchester United manager, a lot of people have called me the 'successor', which is more like the successor to Sir Alex Ferguson, but I don't think that is the case. What do we need to inherit? What is not inherited The spirit of a certain person, but the temperament of the entire team must be inherited!"

"As a top wealthy family, tenacity and passion are your temperament, and when you really integrate these things into your blood, you will truly think from the bottom of your heart that victory is a very common thing and a normal state!"

"I think you should have some feelings this season. When you win, you no longer feel ecstatic, but feel that you deserve it. This is the temperament that a rich family should have! Whether it was once Cosmic team Barcelona, ​​Galacticos Real Madrid, or Bayern Munich, which entered 2013, all have this kind of temperament."

"And now I am very happy, and I see peace on your faces. Self-confidence will make you underestimate the enemy, and anxiety will make you calm down. When you really concentrate on fighting for the victory you deserve and enjoying the fun of the game on the court, At that time, you will truly become the top stars in the world!"

When Kintag said these words, several veteran players suddenly remembered that a few years ago, when Kintag just took over Manchester United, he once told the players that he hoped that everyone could "enjoy football".But now, recalling the miracle of last year's seven championships and the excitement of defending the Champions League, the players not only feel the charm of football from the bottom of their hearts, but also really devote themselves to the green field and really enjoy it football.

Ten minutes later, when Manchester United and Manchester City players ran out of the dressing room, they showed two different states.The Manchester City players were murderous and gritted their teeth, while the Manchester United players were calm and calm.

The ceremony is over and the game begins!
"Manchester City took the lead in this game! They played a 4-3-3 formation today, full of attack power. Just 2 minutes into the game, Manchester City got a very good shot. Aguero's shot on the penalty area line The shot was firmly under De Gea."

"Manchester United made a pass in the midfield, Kroos suddenly made a through ball, Salah went in at high speed! Volleyed the far corner! The ball went slightly wide of the goal, what a pity!"

After the opening, the two teams played very openly, and the fans of the two teams seemed to have seen the 5-3 Premier League final a few days ago.

After today's opening, the full-backs of both teams were very aggressive.Alonso, who has always been stronger in offense than defense, often rushes to the vicinity of Manchester City's penalty area to help attack, and Kimmich also frequently stepped forward to assist.In contrast, Manchester City's two full-backs, Kolarov and Sagna, also continue to support the frontcourt.In this way, the pressure on the central defenders of the two teams is much greater.

Manchester United's Van Dijk and Coulibaly performed very eye-catching. Under the defense of the two, Manchester City's many attacks were resolved outside the penalty area.

And Manchester City's defense is also very good. Their captain Kompany and the young Stones' central defender partner also performed very steadily.

The offensive of the two teams has been very fierce, but they have not scored.

The game went on for half an hour, and the two teams still did not score a goal.

When the game progressed to the 32nd minute, Manchester City got a good chance.This time it was Pogba's precise pass from the middle to the back point. Sterling inserted at high speed and volleyed from the far corner!

When Sterling kicked, Coulibaly stretched out his foot to block it, and the ball flew out of the baseline!
This ball is really dangerous!If it weren't for Coulibaly's blocking, it would probably result in a goal conceded.

But after Coulibaly blocked the ball, he fell to the ground!The expression is very painful!
The head coach called Manchester United's team doctor to the field, and Adolf brought people into the field to check Coulibaly. Half a minute later, he made a gesture to Kim Tagg on the sidelines.

"SxxT!" Fei Lan cursed loudly on the sidelines.

Scholes was also very anxious: "It's really unlucky to hurt people at the beginning!"

And Kintag was expressionless. When he saw Coulibaly injured and fell to the ground, he had already asked Maguire to warm up and prepare to play. After getting the accurate information from Adolf, he did not hesitate. Arrangements were made for substitutions.

Coulibaly was carried back by the team doctor and Maguire was replaced.

"What's the matter?" Jin Taige asked anxiously.

Adolf shook his head: "A sprained ankle, I don't know how serious it is, but I will definitely not be able to play the next game."

Koulibaly was very frustrated. Before last year's Champions League final, he was injured and eventually missed the final.But this time, he played for half an hour before he was injured again.

Seeing Coulibaly's sad look, Kintag comforted him a few words, and then arranged for a team doctor and two staff members to rush Coulibaly to the hospital so as not to delay his illness.

Looking back at the field, Manchester City's corner kick has already been taken. Maguire, who had just played, made a powerful header to clear the siege, which resolved the danger in front of Manchester United.

Neither team scored a goal in this game. It's not that the forwards of both sides performed poorly, but that the defenders of both sides performed too well.The combination of Manchester United's Van Dijk and Coulibaly cooperated even more tacitly. Van Dijk was stuck in position and Coulibaly made the move, and the two cooperated seamlessly.

But this time Coulibaly was injured and replaced Maguire with Van Dijk. This new combination has undergone some changes.The stronger Maguire defended in the penalty area, while Van Dijk took over Coulibaly's task just now and made a grab on the edge of the penalty area.

In the next few minutes, although Maguire had just changed into the field, his cooperation with Van Dijk was also very tacit and did not give Manchester City any chance.

For the next period of time, neither team was able to rewrite the score. At the end of the first half, the score was still 0-0.

It seems that the final outcome of the game depends on the 45 minutes of the second half...
