Chapter 618 The Man Who Knows Guardiola Best
"Motta spikes the ball...a direct pass!"

"Best slashes...Bravo strikes!"

"Fall down... oh oh oh!"

Following Mortensen's commentary, the entire Elyhard Stadium fell into a deathly silence.

It was Chris Smalling who jumped up from the ground and roared out of the penalty area. The big man stared, his right hand waved his fist and rushed to the sidelines. A long sliding knee knocked over the cameras on the sidelines.

Guardiola shook his hand helplessly, but Pochettino was surprised when he was excited... Otamendi followed closely behind, and Bravo had already attacked.

The replay began to play on the big screen, and many fans who could not see the details looked up.

Just when Bravo's hand was about to touch the ball, one foot touched the ball first. Sun Wu did not stop the ball and get stuck, but knocked back with his heel.

Not only did Bravo fail to confiscate the ball, Otamendi, who was blocked from sight, also failed to stop the ball by stretching his feet in a hurry.

Fernandinho, who came back to help defend, slipped in embarrassment, and the ball slowly rolled towards the penalty spot. Smalling, who did not retreat, fell to the ground and poked the ball into the empty goal.

"Sun Wu's choice is always surprising, but it often achieves good results." Zhan Jun commented: "Generally speaking, players tend to protect the ball first in this situation..."

"That's right. The goalkeeper failed to get the ball. The players would protect the ball to see if there was room for a shot. They didn't immediately send the ball to the teammate's feet." Zhang Lu said with a smile: "But Sun Wu directly hit the ball with his heel... This is a gamble. "

Zhan Jun immediately picked up, "But Sun Wu's gamble will always succeed!"

At this time, the live broadcaster gave Fernandinho a close-up. The Brazilian midfielder who has been well received this season after joining this season looks confused.

A replay appeared on the screen again, this time specifically for Fernandinho.

When the ball suddenly rolled from Sun Wu's feet, Fernandinho, who wanted to run to the goal line to block the goal, looked astonished. He tried desperately to turn around, but his inertia made him slip... …

There is no way to control his body, but Fernandinho can turn his head. He watched the ball roll past his eyes, and watched Smalling shoot the empty goal...

Looking up at the big screen, Otamendi pulled up his jersey and covered his head in frustration. He had heard the name of this Chinese player a long time ago, and he got a lot of reminders before the game.

Dzeko reminded him to pay attention to Sun Wu's long shot.

David Silva reminded him to pay attention to Sun Wu's pass.

Gotze reminded him to pay attention to Sun Wu's diving...

So when Sun Wu fell down after knocking the ball, Otamendi immediately raised his hand to signal the opponent to flop, so he was a beat slower and failed to stop the pass.

"How about it!?" Sun Wu put his arms around Smalling, "Tell that Argentine that you can not only catch birds, but also score goals!"

The voice didn't fall...

"Attention the host, your friend Chris Smalling is online, with a friend degree of 82."

After Sun Wu was taken aback, the smile on his face became wider, tsk tsk, this guy is really easy to feed!
Sun Wu clapped his hands and said loudly: "Next, hold on to these 10 minutes, and let us celebrate on the lawn of the Elyhard Stadium!"

Uh, the voice is a bit loud, Aguero is okay, Tevez glared over very unhappy.

After the game restarted, Manchester City pressed across the board, leaving only two passers, Harvey Alonso and Kolarov, in the backcourt.

However, although they tried their best to attack, the threat to Manchester United's goal has been reduced. Except for David Silva who can pass and receive the ball calmly, other players can't wait to hold the ball and rush into Manchester United's goal.

But at this critical moment, the personal abilities of the stars can play a role.

In the 83rd minute, Carlos Tevez cut in from the left and took a long shot. The ball was blocked by Smalling. Aguero took the ball back.

"Di!"

"A timely foul." Zhang Lu nodded, "Motta was swayed away. If Cleverley doesn't foul, Silva will enter the penalty area."

"Not good!" Zhan Jun shouted, "Cleverly got a yellow card for bringing down Gotze in the second half."

Sure enough, the referee took out a yellow card and then sent off Cleverley with a red card.

Sun Wu patted Cleverley, "Tom, it was an excellent game, don't worry, we will defend it."

"Alderweireld, a Belgian defender." Mortensen glanced at the sidelines, "He transferred from Ajax before the transfer deadline, but he hasn't played a minute yet."

However, Alderweireld, who was about to replace Thomas Muller, did not play immediately.

After the referee blew the whistle, David Silva sent the ball into the corner of the goal with a delicate curl.

The home fans finally found a chance to vent after being silent for a while, and thunderous shouts lingered over the Elyhard Stadium.

"Toby, stand near the penalty area line, intercept horizontally, and don't let them break through and enter the penalty area." Sun Wu quickly ran to Alderweireld, "You have to enter the penalty area for a cross from the wing, be careful of their reverse penetration into the penalty area .”

"clear."

Manchester United, who had just been in a panic, stabilized immediately after the Belgian defender came on. The strong Alderweireld ran back and forth between the two ribs, and used both hands and feet to poke the ball away from David Silva's feet twice in a row.

Even the Belgian defender steals Douglas Costa and sends a precise long pass. Griezmann throws off Kolarov for a long-distance attack. The right-sided arc ball bypasses Bravo, but unfortunately the ball flies out of the post. bottom line.

With one hand in his pocket, Guardiola flattened his mouth, he knew it was over.

I thought that Alderweireld's appearance would cause confusion in Manchester United's defense. The quality of defense is not directly related to the number of central defenders, and there may even be confusion and misunderstanding due to unclear rights and responsibilities.

But Alderweireld did not directly enter the penalty area, but stood on the line of the penalty area, swept left and right, and followed the Manchester City players who penetrated back into the penalty area to supplement the defense. This is a typical defensive midfielder's play.

Of course it is!

In order to hold on to the last few minutes and win the Manchester Derby, Sun Wu spent a lot of money and bought an adaptation card with 100 points to use on Alderweireld!
Manchester City players fought until the last moment, but the referee ruthlessly blew the whistle for the end of the game.

"3 to 1, congratulations to Manchester United, and congratulations to Pochettino and Best, they won the first game of the season and the first Manchester derby in their careers."

"The score may surprise many media." Mortensen said with a smile: "Manchester United defeated Manchester City 3-2 in the away game. This is the first time they have celebrated their victory at the Elyhard Stadium in more than three years."

"In fact, before Alex retired, Manchester City was already very strong. Now that Guardiola's arrival has made Manchester City overwhelm Manchester United in winning odds." Schmeichel also said: "But this game It's interesting, Manchester United's defense is not very strong, but it is difficult for Manchester City to play a smooth attack."

"Of course it's because of Best." Mortensen laughed: "He may be the one who knows Guardiola best."
