Chapter 857 Suppression and Countermeasures

When subordinated before the game, Faria repeatedly emphasized Mourinho's strategy to control the enemy——

"...they'll definitely be studying our game at the Emirates, so Lee will continue to play on the right and his main role will be to keep City's midfield at bay.

We believe they will have at least two people to deal with Lee, at least one even off the ball --

So if it's Fernandinho, then Paul is in charge of pushing forward.

If it was Delph, Antonio (Valencia) would be in front of Lee..."

Li Liang recalled the arrangement in the tactics class, and the expectations of Magic Bird and Faria all became reality, and he was closely guarded even without the ball.

But until now, the number of shots from our team is still 0, and other things such as the number of times of scoring in the 30-meter area and the number of passing threatening balls are also pitifully small.

He couldn't help but ran to Pogba during the game gap: "Paul, we must seize the opportunity!
You should dribble as little as possible, you have to get out the ball a little faster! "

After speaking, he was still a little worried, whether Pogba, who had an extremely excited expression, listened to his opinion.

Mourinho suddenly said to Faria: "Ruy, we may have fallen into a trap!
Pep guessed our main tactic! "

Faria spread his hands helplessly: "I think Paul has more problems here than their targeted defense!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his head, and Magic Bird bowed his head in silence.

Ibrahimovic on the bench scolded his fellow compatriot Lindelof angrily, "Paul!

He must want to win this game alone! "

Lindelof asked in amazement: "Did he want to do what Lee did?!"

Ibrahimovic said dissatisfiedly: "Can you really understand Li's game style?
He and Paul are two completely different types of players!

Lee knows exactly what he should do at all times, Paul always wants to solve problems directly with his talents—

Pep knows too well how to defend such a player! "

In the 35th minute, Manchester United finally completed the first shot of the game - after breaking through the markings of Fernandinho and Xiwa in a row, Li Liang scored the ball from the right to the center in time, Lingard missed the ball Quickly into the restricted area.

It was a textbook pass-and-run combination, as Li Liang's breakthrough also attracted the attention of Manchester City's left-back Delph, and Lingard shrewdly inserted into the gap of Manchester City's defense after leaking the ball to Pogba.

Kompany was taken horizontally by Lukaku to the other side. Otamendi has already pressed up and tried to grab Pogba. As long as Pogba takes advantage of the trend and passes the ball forward to Lingard, the Red Devils have a high probability Get a great shot!

There was already shouting in the stands, Pogba did not choose to pass the ball immediately, but stopped the ball beautifully directly behind Otamendi, and then forcibly squeezed past the Argentine central defender with his physical advantage!
Li Liang, Matic, Magic Bird on the sidelines, Faria and Ibrahimovic on the bench all yelled: "Pass!"

Sir Alex, Beckham and Butt in the stands, and Neville in the commentary also shouted: "Pass the ball—"

After Pogba passed Otamendi, he made a slight adjustment and shot from a distance of about 35 meters from the goal——

This powerful and heavy shot was punched out by the focused Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson. After a huge sigh, there were cheers and applause from the stands!

Pogba clasped his head in his hands and roared to the sky, then pointed at Li Liang and directed: "Li, go and take the corner kick!"

Li Liang was furious, swallowed a few swear words abruptly, spread his hands and asked, "Paul, why didn't you pass the ball to Jesse (Lingard)!?"

Lingard also waved his hand to express his dissatisfaction, Magic Bird got up and rushed to the sidelines: "Hey!

Paul, watch!Use your eyes to observe more, don't keep your head down! "

Several Manchester City defenders gathered in the penalty area to discuss nervously, and Guardiola kept shouting in the command area on the other side.

Torrent sat back in his seat heavily: "It's really dangerous!
If they passed into the penalty area just now, we will be finished..."

The old man's face was red, and he said under pressure: "Fuck, we may only have this one chance in the audience, Paul..."

The old fans around Big Bear sang "there is only one Paul Pogba" like everyone else, Big Bear shook his head and said to Xiao Yu: "This shot seems to boost morale, but it's really a pity ..."

Dakui's expression changed: "Wori, Dongzi, these feet!

Tsk tsk, the goalkeeper didn't dare to pick up the 30-meter-plus goalkeeper, it's so fucking fierce! "

Dongzi shouted in a low voice: "Shit!
The others ran out of tactics, this Pogba played too alone! "

Li Liang put down his raised arm and took a corner kick - according to the tactics of the drill, he hit the ball forward. Rojo and Matic were both ready to ferry in the front point. Smalling and Lukaku grabbed the point in the middle, and the rest It's all in the back.

His high-quality corner kick accurately found his teammate in the front point. Rojo took the lead under the cover of Matic and got the ball before Walker——

Li Liang felt ecstasy in his heart, but immediately fell into great disappointment-he saw Manchester City captain Kompany jumping high in front of the goal with accurate judgment, and pushed the ball out before the double ghosts of Smalling and Lukaku hit the goal restricted area!
The ball landed at the feet of Xiwa outside the penalty area. He successfully got rid of Lingard's entanglement by turning around on the spot with great dexterity.

De Bruyne made a slight adjustment, and the big foot passed the ball long to the right——

Sterling surpassed the chasing Ashley Young like lightning, rushed all the way into the penalty area, and directly kicked the goal against the attacking De Gea!

The Manchester United players on the field and the Manchester United fans in the stands were almost desperate, but thanks to De Gea's brave performance, he fell to the ground and blocked this must-go goal out of the bottom line with his legs!
De Gea jumped up and yelled, and the Manchester United generals exchanged eyes with each other like the rest of their lives.

Magic Bird finally made up his mind: "Rui, start adjusting immediately after this corner kick!"

De Gea's name was shouted in unison in the stands, and the old man's face was livid: "If we continue like this, we will lose the ball if we don't defend in the second half!"

Beckham said helplessly: "The ball is always at Manchester City's feet. This is their favorite style of play. If we don't make adjustments, victory will be farther and farther away from us!"

In the screen, De Bruyne is ready to take a corner kick, and Tang Meng is still regretting Pogba's long shot just now: "If that long shot scored the game, it will be another situation..."

Lu Yue disagrees: "Manchester City's defense is extremely targeted. In addition to blocking Li Liang, Pogba has also been greatly restricted.

Pogba should reduce dribbling and possession...

Let's look at the corner first, De Bruyne...

Go ahead!

Danger!

Damn!

shoot -

The ball is in!
pretty! "

Tang Meng also shouted: "It's David Silva, the rebels succeeded in grabbing points from it!

This ball is beautiful! "
