Grass roots glory

Chapter 1109 After the Victory
Zhou Tiancheng stood on the penalty spot and easily scored the penalty against Joe Hart.

This is the rhythm of Manchester United, and Pellegrini can only be helpless.Sterling stood aside and thumped the ground angrily, hating his feet for not being able to live up to expectations, otherwise his team would not be behind now.

However, Pellegrini had expected it a long time ago, so his face was not too ugly. Instead, he stood up and squeezed a little smile, signaling Sterling to be more active and look for more opportunities.

Manchester City's attacking focus is on his side, and what Pellegrini wants to see is the connection between him and Aguero.

When this situation occurs, Manchester City's offense is still very threatening and can threaten Manchester United's goal.

"Aguero! Oh! De Gea, De Gea saved the ball, Manchester City almost equalized the score, Aguero still reflects the value of the golden boy, but this time he is facing De Gea Ya, St. David."

"Sterling! This time he beat himself, he didn't slip, but-but, still didn't go in, Smalling made up for his mistake in time."

"In fact, Manchester City can still create some threats, as long as David Silva and De Bruyne are connected with the frontcourt. Unfortunately, there are too few such opportunities."

Manchester City's transfer bid king Kevin De Bruyne this summer has not played much in this game.It is hard to imagine that this is the performance of the Bundesliga assist leader so far last season.

It reflects from the side how strong Manchester United's midfield defense is.Fellaini and Matic stand in front of two walls. Moving walls, they will stick to the defensive goal in front of them. This is Mourinho's request. In the football world, defense is a seemingly simple but Absolutely profound knowledge, different coaches have completely different understandings of defense, even if they are also masters of tactics and godfathers of football.Even to observe a head coach's tactical style, you only need to look at his defensive requirements - Lippi's polishing of defense focuses on positioning, and he will never allow players to shovel at will, so a height like Cannavaro No matter how you look at it, it is a flawed but invincible central defender who can become his favorite player.And Mourinho's personality is known to everyone in the football world. If a head coach with such a perverse personality does not ask to post it when defending, it is not in line with his personality.

The marking of De Bruyne does not delineate the area. Mourinho's requirement is that everyone has the obligation to defend him in a specific area.Defensively, this is definitely VIP-level treatment.

De Bruyne is actually not afraid of confrontation. He can become Wolfsburg's midfielder and send [-] assists in a season. Even if Manchester City doesn't feel bad about money, it will definitely not pay too much premium.

But when De Bruyne faces a wheel battle, when anyone sticks to him, he first fights with his body, and after barely getting rid of it, he stretches his feet directly, which is a huge consumption of his physical energy.Every time it takes a huge physical cost, what "Ding Ding" feels is a defense that truly has the original style of the Premier League.It is completely different from the rhythm of the Bundesliga.

This kind of rhythm is liked by the current Manchester United fans, although the visiting Manchester City fans think that Fellaini and Matic have fouled at the same time, and they have already fouled.

Their mentality is understandable, but Michael Oliver's scale for this game is very loose. Derby encourages confrontation in any focus event anywhere.

……

Mourinho showed a scheming smile off the court. This is what he wants. The team can shrink appropriately. Even Zhou Tiancheng didn't say anything today when he retreated relatively far behind on the defensive end. What he wants is counterattack speed .

Manchester City's two starting central defenders today are Kompany and Mangala. They have a height of more than 1.9 meters. The air defense ability is indeed not to be said. Lukaku was also suppressed today.

But Mourinho replaced Rooney after halftime, and the frontcourt speeded up in an all-round way. Pellegrini's adjustment was a step slower, and the price came immediately.

Rooney just came on the field, received a long pass from Zhou Tiancheng and went directly behind him, one step faster than Joe Hart who was attacking, and directly scored the goal after receiving the ball.Mangala had already completed this wave of operations as soon as he turned his head.

"Rooney, Fatty raised his goals in the Manchester Derby to thirteen. He is already the number one in history that is difficult to surpass."

Rooney broke his own record, while Pellegrini was completely let go, and he knew that this was the only way to go.It's not something they can change.

The gap between them and Manchester United is probably the gap between De Bruyne and Zhou Tiancheng-they have never taken advantage of it in the Bundesliga.

A derby victory, no one thought it would be so simple, Mourinho has reason to speak out.

"The players have implemented my requirements [-]%. I really can't imagine why Manchester United can't win. Although I don't deny that Manuel Pellegrini is a good coach and Manchester City is also very strong, but football is like this , Dare to take risks sometimes does have more opportunities, but sometimes you have to bear the price.”

With a strong sense of superiority, Mourinho is such a person, but what he said made reporters unable to answer.Manchester United's reporters naturally felt that it made sense. Mourinho had spoken their minds. Naturally, this opportunity to show his superiority could not be let go.

The Manchester City reporters gritted their teeth, the pain of watching others step on their bodies...they could only swallow it.

Fortunately, the atmosphere was only active. The Manchester United reporter smiled and then asked: "Winning this game is of course very important. First of all, congratulations, Mr. Mourinho. Our next strong opponent is Leicester City. This game is not far away, please comment on this opponent."

This is the top game, just after three league rounds, so this complete victory is very meaningful. Before the real top game came, Manchester United was not held back by other opponents.

Mourinho's face didn't change much at all: "There are dark horses every season. This is not surprising in the Premier League. Strictly speaking, Manchester United last season wasn't it? Before the season, who would have thought that it would end up like that? "

Seeing that the faces of the reporters became a little weird, Mourinho added: "Of course, I lost to Manchester United last season, it's just their Zhou existence. I haven't heard of Leicester City having a player like Zhou. , so don't get me wrong, if any of you ladies and gentlemen waiting for me to continue making mistakes, you may be disappointed."

The reporters all laughed. The Manchester United reporters who came here to interview Mourinho accounted for the majority. When they asked this question, they moved in front of Mourinho and squeezed the others out.

Only Manchester United reporters are interested in this game. The entire Premier League is almost unable to control this dark horse, so Manchester United, the defending champion and the number one top champion in England, can only try the quality of this dark horse.
