Chapter 414
In 5 minutes, after a few rounds of offense and defense, Ye Tian had basically figured out the opponent's offensive thinking and defensive weaknesses.

Manchester City's offense, of course, is a routine with a long pass, but when advancing on the ground, it is usually initiated from the middle through De Bruyne, Fernandinho in the backcourt, Sterling and Aguero in the frontcourt.

When they are attacking, the first time, pinch De Bruyne and prevent him from launching a long pass. If it is Manchester United's frontcourt, continue to watch Fernandinho. Lin and Aguero.

As a free agent, Ye Tian's running position is the focus of Manchester United's defense.

The other players are all defensive. He will adjust his own position and the position of his teammates when necessary according to his own judgment.

This is the power given to Ye Tian by Mourinho on the defensive end, and it is also the main defensive method of Manchester United when Ye Tian is there.

This set is not difficult for everyone to be familiar with.

就是4-1-4-1阵型的变化成了3-1-3-2-1。

The defensive width has declined. Therefore, the 3 in the middle of the two 1s has a very heavy defense task, and the running quality must be very high.

Currently, in the Manchester United team, only Ye Tian is suitable for this position.

Both Herrera and Matic were slower, and Fellaini's overall vision was not enough.

In this way, Manchester United invested less troops in defense than last season, but in terms of defensive level, there is an extra layer.

叶天在适当的时候，还可以冲到前面，站到3和2之间，阵型会成为3-3-1-2-1。

His promotion can put more offensive pressure on the opponent in the frontcourt.

Now that Ye Tian has figured out Manchester City's offensive routine, there is only one target left for him, and that is De Bruyne.

By pinching De Bruyne, half of Manchester City's offense was abolished.

Therefore, Ye Tian gestured to Lingard to let Lingard retreat to the midfield, while he hid behind Herrera and Matic, ready to intercept De Bruyne's pass at any time.

Manchester City's offense started from the backcourt. Because of Mata and Mkhitaryan's pressing, they quickly kicked the ball forward.

The tempo of the game has been raised.

An accelerated tempo means more rounds, and it also means that the team can control the ball, and that team will have more opportunities to attack.

Manchester City's ball handlers are midfielders De Bruyne and Yaya Toure.

Yaya Toure is a more defensive box-to-box player, but he's a good ball protector.

When De Bruyne can't move forward, he usually gives him the ball to stabilize it first.

The frontcourt points were all closely guarded. Under the interference of Herrera, De Bruyne was really unable to advance and crossed Yaya Toure.

Matic stretched his legs to intercept, touched the ball and changed the direction of the ball.

Yaya Toure had to move to get the ball.

However, a figure sprang up behind Matic and took the ball two steps before Yaya Toure got the ball.

When he saw the person coming, the other party only left him the back with the number 22 in white on a red background.

Ye Tian intercepted successfully, and Lingard immediately moved forward from the center line along the sidewalk.

Mata, Mkhitaryan, and Rashford, who were originally in the frontcourt, presented a three-way forward assault from the left, center and right.

Manchester City's defensive speed is actually very fast, with a 4-2-3-1 formation. If the defense is in place and the fence is tightened, they will only leave Aguero in the frontcourt.

But Ye Tian intercepted in the middle circle, playing a counterattack.

In front of him, there are only 4 defensive players, 4 against 4 in the frontcourt.

In particular, the weak link in Manchester City's defense that Ye Tian found was in their back line.

In the previous few rounds, he had already discovered that Manchester City rookie Walker still needs Kompany's command, which shows that the tacit cooperation between them has not yet been produced.

As for Adarabioyu, a member of the Manchester City youth team who partnered with Kompany in the middle, his youthfulness and nervousness have already written his entire face!
The loopholes in Manchester City's defense lie in these two men!
Ye Tian gave the ball to Mkhitaryan to the right.

When Mkhitaryan was about to charge Fernandinho, he saw Ye Tian, ​​who was still going forward, asking for the ball. He didn't think much, and immediately returned the ball.

Half sideways, turn your right foot out.

Mkhitaryan's pass was hit by Ye Tian with the inside of his foot into a through ball. The ball bypassed Adarabioyu's right and rolled into the penalty area.

Rashford passed between Kompany and Adarabioyu, without stopping the ball, just swung his right foot!
Edson didn't expect that this big black man would test himself again in such a short period of time!
Well done, though!

Before the game, he watched all the goals of Manchester United last season several times, and he knew the habits of Manchester United's finishers very well.

For example, the Rashford in front of him likes to play ground ball, and he likes to play on the left.

So, when Ederson had a premonition that the opponent might be shot by Rashford, he deflected a little to his right.

Sure enough, Rashford's shot hit the left side of the goal, and his choice was right!
Ederson once again blocked Rashford's shot, but the ball was out of control, the shot was too strong and popped out!
The ball bounced right back, and it was still Rashford.

Push your head toward the other side of the goal.

Now, unless Edson has installed a spring under his body, otherwise, he has nothing to do with the half-high ball running to the other side.

A blue figure rushed over.

It's Fernandinho.

Edson looked at him expectantly, and Fernandinho did not disappoint Edson's expectations.

At the cost of losing his balance, he slapped the football.

The ball flew out of the net again and Fernandinho fell into it.

The fans erupted in wild cheers.

There is recognition of Manchester City's spirit of not giving up, there are shouts that the ball has passed the line, and more is admiration for the wonderful performance of the two teams.

The ball is out of bounds.

The referee ran to the linesman's office, and the two discussed for a while. Then, the referee pointed to the center circle and announced that the goal was valid!

Rashford then celebrated with high fives with his teammates.

When he saw Ye Tian coming, he said: "The opponent's goalkeeper is very good. He has done it several times, and I thought he must enter!"

Ye Tian immediately realized that this was not a good phenomenon.

The team's center forward has the slightest bit of...

Will not work!Must be snuffed out!

"I will keep passing the ball to you. If you don't score 10 shots, you will take 20 shots. In short, I want to explode him!"

Rashford immediately got excited, looked back at Ederson, squinted his eyes and said: "Then I will kick him out of the shadow today! Let him panic when he sees me in the future!"

Lingard, who just jumped over, heard their conversation, and said to Ye Tian: "I think that guy has been upset for a long time, and I want to blow him up too!"

Ye Tian chuckled: "As long as you run in place."

When Lingard heard it, this is great!
The team's thighs said, as long as I run in place, there will be a ball!

……

In the opening 8 minutes, one goal behind, Manchester City is not in a hurry.

After kick-off, they continued to play their way.

The warm-up match and the business match are just games for looking for status. You don't need to work too hard, even if the opponent is Manchester United.

With such a state of mind, they played brilliantly instead. After all, their passing and controlling football requires a calm mind, and the current state is just right for them to play.

The football is constantly flying and passing under the feet of Manchester City players.

But because of Ye Tian's command, De Bruyne has relatively few connections with Sterling and Aguero.

However, seeing that Manchester United's defensive investment is relatively small, De Bruyne made a gesture and assisted on both sides, using the numerical advantage to overwhelm the opponent.

Ye Tian didn't let Mkhitaryan and Mata come back, and continued to use 7 people to fight against the opponent's 8 people.

Since Mata, Mkhitaryan, and Rashford were in the frontcourt, Kompany and Adarabioyu did not dare to press, and the assists of Fernandinho and Walker were correspondingly blocked. Containment, Manchester City's numerical advantage seems difficult to form.

De Bruyne passed Foden and Roberts a few times, but he always felt uncomfortable. He regained control of the ball and still looked for Aguero and Sterling.

After he took control of the ball, Ye Tian and Herrera suddenly pressed up together, one in front and one on the side, and on the route where he passed back to Fernandinho and the central defender, Mkhitaryan and Mata were watching.

De Bruyne is in crisis.

A crisis is a danger, but also an opportunity.

If you can break through these two people, then there will be opportunities.

De Bruyne decided to break through by himself, after all, the risk is greater if he passes back.

The 2015 German Footballer of the Year is known for his sharp passing, but his feet are also excellent.

Protecting the ball, knocking the ball, feinting, changing direction...

After a whole set of actions, De Bruyne has broken through the past.

But the ball is gone.

Ye Tian successfully intercepted the ball directly behind the center line.

Without dribbling the ball, he made a long pass directly.

Rashford runs forward quickly from the 35-meter area!
The 31-year-old, 190cm Belgian international Kompany, although speed is not his weakness, has not been able to keep up with Rashford's pace.

And rookies... have been eating dust behind Rashford.

Edson was a little depressed.

Did you offend this striker?How many minutes?Why is he here again!

He can't allow him to think too much, Rashford has reached the top of the arc, and he has to attack.

After entering the penalty area, Rashford took another step, then glanced at the lower left corner of the goal, turned sideways, and swung his legs.

Ederson immediately landed to his lower right.

Rashford's fake move, he rubbed the ball to the right of the goal with the inside of his foot.

Ederson has lost his center of gravity and can only wave his hand to say goodbye to football.

Rashford put his hands to his ears as if listening, and ran to the corner of the corner flag. Although this is not Old Trafford, true Red Devils fans will still buy tickets here.

Sure enough, the familiar cheers came as promised.

Rashford nodded and waved to the fans, then turned around, hugged his teammates, and pointed to Ye Tian in the distance.

Ye Tian also waved to him, it's too far to pass.

I saw a figure getting off Rashford's back and running to Ye Tian's side.

Lingard: "Brother! I want to score too~~~"

……

In just 13 minutes, Manchester United had already led 2-0.

Mourinho did not stand in the dotted line box to direct the game as usual, he sat on the coach's bench, chatting with Faria with a relaxed face.

On the other side, Guardiola also seems to be indifferent to the two-goal deficit. Sitting on the coach's bench, he is only wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt today, which looks really casual.

However, the two assistant coaches beside them both heard what their boss said.

"...It's over..."

"...It's completely blown up..."

　Dichlorvos: I thought life was a miracle, but in fact you are just a labor force.
