Chapter 982 The Real Competition Now Officially Begins

In the 11th minute of the game, the home fans finally got excited——

Xiwa sent a long-distance direct pass in the midfield, and Sane directly used realistic fake moves to dunk Valencia and directly broke into the penalty area!

Herrera, who was defending, did not dare to make a move and had to desperately block Sane's cross-cutting line. The German winger changed directions and shook the ball vigorously towards the goal!
Jesus fell to the ground and kicked the ball almost at the same time as Rojo. De Gea struggled to block the ball out of the baseline with his legs after losing his center of gravity!

A huge sigh sounded instantly, and the frustrated Manchester City fans immediately cheered harder for Xiwa and Jesus.

Lineker raised his voice: "This is the number 9 of the Brazilian national team!
Jesus may not be the strongest center in the world, but he must be the center who best understands Pep's tactical intentions! "

Gerrard replied: "Gary...

Don't you think all three games are very interesting?
Jose has been insisting on attacking opponents with ground passes and quick passes and cuts, but Manchester City's long passes and crosses have become more and more? "

The magic bird turned to Faria, who looked at the timer on his chest and shook his head: "This must be a prelude, it hasn't really started yet!"

Compared with the Blue Moon fans in the stands who were finally able to vent their huge pressure, the Manchester City players were still as calm as they were at the beginning of the game.

The same goes for the Red Devils.

Xiwa took a corner kick with a large arc. The Manchester United players in the penalty area successfully resolved Manchester City's screen tactics. In the end, Kompany failed to get the space to sprint and take off, and Otamendi struggled to jump up from the back point without touching to the ball—

The corner kick flew directly across the penalty area and out of the sideline on the other side.

Guardiola and Torrent waved at the same time to express their dissatisfaction.

Several former stars of Class 92 sat together with Wayne Rooney and Carrick who did not enter the squad.

Scholes watched the field intently: "Michael, what are you waiting for?!"

Carrick replied: "Paul, it's actually a secret—

Some of us participated in the formulation of the tactics in these three games.

For this game, our judgment is that Manchester City will start to exert force after 20 minutes!
Our injury situation is actually worse than everyone knows...

This is the price of victory, or rather this is the price of a chance to fight them to the death. "

In the 15th minute, Manchester United had their best chance since the start of the game——

After Lingard cut inside, he suddenly reversed the ball, and Valencia put it on and passed it directly and quickly!
Li Liang was running backwards before Lingard passed the ball, and the bird was inseparable!
Seeing Lingard score the ball, Li Liang suddenly stopped and changed direction to run back, he bypassed Otamendi and directly leaned over and dived to the top!

The exclamation and screams of the audience reached their peak——

Asuka's desperate pull failed to prevent the Manchester United captain from hitting the ball!

Fortunately, Kompany followed up in time and blocked this wonderful header with his body.

The ball was kicked into the sky by the big foot, and the stands were filled with exclamation and cheers like the survivors.

He Wei was very happy: "This is the third shot for the Manchester United team since the opening!
It was also Li Liang's second shot!

——It seems that compared with the referees in the Premier League, at least the referee selected by UEFA today at least does a better job in protecting offensive players.

This also at least made the Manchester City players significantly more restrained in defending Li Liang than in the previous game!"

He Wei and Xue Yang's colleagues in England were concerned about another issue.

Gerrard asked: "Gary (Lineker), what do you think?"

Lineker frowned: "Everything was done well, but the last kick didn't look like Lee's usual level!"

On the coaching bench of the home team, Guardiola suddenly got up and shook hands with several coaches in charge of data analysis who were far away from him.

Arteta said with admiration to Torrent: "Pep's words have all come true!

Lee can serve as a qualified fulcrum, but he is by no means a true center. "

Torrent replied confidently: "Without Romelu, unless Zlatan is young... at least 6 years old to support their new system.

In front of Vincent (Kompani) and Nicolas (Otamendi), they no longer have a qualified center forward! "

Arteta admired: "Yes, the first time Pep told everyone that Li is more accustomed to adjusting and then shooting, and directly grabbing points is his weak link, I didn't believe it.

Now it seems that Pep is really right, as long as he maintains enough pressure on Li, his threat in the penalty area is completely acceptable! "

The thigh on the bench waved his hand angrily, and his body twisted greatly on the seat: "This ball Li's way of exerting force is wrong!

He should try to push out a reverse parabola at such a distance, like this..."

Bayi shook his head: "Alexis, don't forget that this is the first time Lee has played the starting center position this season!
It's really amazing to be able to make it like this! "

……

Looking at the multi-angle high-speed camera playback, Li Liang completed a wonderful diving header under the attack of two world-class stars, and the stadium of [-] people cheered thunderously.

Li Liang's former colleagues were cheering excitedly, and the boss also got up proudly and followed the fans around him excitedly getting up and shouting: "Mozi!"

"mold!"

"mold!"

Lu Yue became more and more worried: "Meng, why am I getting more and more guilty!
Ordinarily, it is impossible for Manchester City to be beaten by Manchester United like this——

I feel more and more that this is Guardiola's tactical design! "

Tang Meng also began to realize that something was wrong: "Why do I feel a little hairy when you say this?
You can see that after Danilo was broken through, there seemed to be no shots of his teammates yelling at him.

Kompany has also been concentrating on organizing the defense, and basically didn't press much..."

……

Ferguson was also having a tense discussion with Charlton: "When Lee and Paul pressed together in the last game, it actually didn't help the offense much.

When a player like Lee who is good at breaking through loses space, his power will be reduced a lot. "

Charlton nodded and said yes: "Yes, now add the Brazilian (Fernandinho), Vincent and Nicholas shrink the central defense, there is no space around Lee except behind him.

Without Lee's organization in the midfield, the distance between Marcus and Jesse and Paul always had problems. "

As the two sides fought fiercely in midfield, Kompany looked at the time numbers on the big screen and shouted to his partner: "Nicolas, it's time!

Come on, let's burn the fire to their half! "

The captain of Manchester City looked at Guardiola who was already standing in the command area on the sidelines. The latter nodded steadily, and Kompany also nodded.

He and Otamendi went into action at the same time.

He Wei, Xue Yang and other foreign counterparts almost exclaimed in the commentary booth: "The Manchester City team suddenly started to press as a whole!
This is the 20th minute of the game, and the tempo on the court has been raised by more than one gear! "

Gerrard exclaimed: "This is the real Manchester City!
The real game starts now! "
