i don't want to be king

Chapter 972 He Has Never Lost!
In the 58th minute, Aguero stood on the sidelines amidst the huge cheers of the home fans.

Torrent sat on the coach's bench with a livid face and said nothing, Arteta was also dumbfounded.

After Manchester United relied on a tougher high-post oppression tactic, as well as the same fierce scrambling to win the initiative and get back a goal, the staff unanimously suggested that Guardiola adjust to a defensive-oriented 3-back tactic according to the plan.

To their surprise, Guardiola has adopted a "B" plan.

He denied the "three wingers" forward style of play that he and his assistants worked out all night, and decided without hesitation to send the authentic center Aguero.

Faria immediately walked towards the magic bird: "Jose, Pep really changed back to the original style of play!"

Magic Bird nodded and covered his mouth with his hand and replied: "Yes, he expected us to push Lee and Paul to the front line, but he didn't expect us to destroy their midfield organization!

So he must add a fulcrum to the frontcourt! "

……

The owner of the bar generously fulfilled his promise, and put half a dozen beers in front of everyone.

He also generously said to several distressed subordinates: "It doesn't matter if you can't finish drinking this time, you can keep the wine, there will be another game in two days!"

Several old employees who are most familiar with Li Liang have more and more empty bottles in front of them, and they have obviously entered the state: "Boss, what if Liangzi scores again?!"

The boss proudly slapped the card on the table: "Those who can do more work!
I'll pay as much as you can drink!

After the game, I will call you a special car to go home...

If Manchester United wins today, it will be called Mercedes-Benz! "

Everyone exclaimed, not because of the Mercedes-Benz, but because Aguero received a header from Xiwa in the screen and lobbed the ball. The ball passed the attacking De Gea and almost flew into the goal!
Magic Bird immediately arranged for the substitutes to start activities, and then continued to watch the field nervously with Faria.

Henry shouted: "This is Kun's second consecutive shot!

After he came off the bench, the situation on the court fell to Manchester City again! "

Beckham looked stern: "With a center forward, their offense is more threatening!"

Southgate nodded: "Without the support of the midfielder, the three wingers can't play any advantage. Now that Bernardo (Silva) is removed, after having a fulcrum, Leroy (Sane) and Rahim ( Sterling) would have more space!"

De Gea drove out the goalkeeper, and after some scrambling, Charlton exclaimed: "Lee retreated?!"

Everyone on the visiting team's bench turned their attention to Magic Bird, but the Portuguese remained stern without saying a word.

It was he himself who announced during the intermission that his captain could make tactical moves according to the situation on the field in the second half!
This means that the Manchester United captain feels a potentially huge risk!

In the 66th minute, Manchester City continued to play a small range of cooperation in the frontcourt. Aguero dunked Baimo in front of the penalty area and entered the penalty area. Smalling shoveled the ball to Xiwa at the same time!
Xiwa's rushing shot hit Li Liang's leg, which was blocked in the end, and popped out of the bottom line——

The stands were full of frustration and fear, and everyone was watching the Manchester United captain who got up quickly and bumped his chest excitedly with De Gea!

Guardiola turned back and shouted, and veteran Yaya Toure immediately got up, took off his coat and began to prepare.

Charlton said to Ferguson: "It's the same as the last game, now it's not a tactical competition!"

Ferguson replied: "Exactly!
These two teams are already too familiar with each other, Jose and Pep also know each other from the bottom to the bottom!

Now let's see who can last till the end—"

The Manchester City fans in the stands stood up one after another and applauded enthusiastically for Xiwa who was replaced.

Henry said: "If he was 5 years younger, David would have scored with the ball just now——

He played the whole game in the last game and only had three days off. This is not easy for a 32-year-old player. "

"Yes."

Neville continued: "If it weren't for David's performance, it would be hard to imagine that the same Manchester City team would have played the same performance in the first half at the Etihad!"

Guardiola stepped forward and hugged Xiwa, and then returned to the coaching bench: "Domenech, please listen to me--

In the last game and now, many tactical details made me understand one thing!

——What they played on the field was definitely not Jose's football!
It is Li who is leading the game by himself, so we can't adjust according to the previous thinking, absolutely not! "

Torrent finally bought into Guardiola's thinking: "Well, Pep, maybe you're right..."

Guardiola said decisively: "It must be so!

Looking at Lee's moves, what other type of player could you use to define him? ! "

In the 71st minute, veteran Toure volleyed vigorously in front of the penalty area and was saved by De Gea!

As Manchester City's offensive intensified, the singing of "Blue moon" became deafening again.

Faria fidgeted: "Jose, let Zlatan or Marcus (Rashford) replace Juan (Mata)?"

On the contrary, Magic Bird's expression became more and more relaxed: "Ruy, it's not necessary now!
Hang on, Lee needs Juan's possession now—”

Faria was even more anxious: "The space we finally regained was compressed again. Paul (Pogba) hasn't got the ball in front for a long time!"

Magic Bird turned around and stared at Faria: "Ruiy, Pep has resumed their most accustomed style of play, right?"

Faria nodded in surprise.

The magic bird turned around again: "Okay, now take a deep breath with me, relax, and then think about it carefully.

Counting the time in Monaco, did Pep beat Lee with this style of play? "

Faria was dumbfounded!
……

With Li Liang's retreat, Mata began to receive help from the center to organize. Pogba rushed forward, his thighs repeatedly interspersed on the left, and the little monster pulled to the right.

Seeing this scene being replaced, Bernardo Silva walked up to Arteta, pointed to Guardiola in the conductor and said: "Mikel, we must tell Pep that Lee must be preparing something!
He will never be willing to admit defeat like this! "

Arteta was a little puzzled: "What are you talking about?"

Silva said firmly: "I know him better than anyone else!

When the guy pulls back, it means he must be looking for a chance to rebalance—”

When Arteta told Silva what Guardiola said, the latter laughed: "I understand, Bernardo means that Manchester United are copying Leonardo (Jardim)'s style of play, right? ?

Take it easy Mikel!

That will not happen again! "

Manchester City's offensive was effectively contained, and the two wingers began to withdraw to participate in the competition for the midfielder, and the two sides entered a stalemate.

Henry said: "It's the 76th minute and it's strange that United haven't adjusted yet.

Several substitutes are still warming up on the sidelines. "

Big Neville looked at the data: "Wait, Thierry, I found a special thing--

Manchester United ran a lot less today than in the last game, including Lee! "
