Chapter 416

Guardiola glanced at his old opponent, and his assistant coach said: "Is he afraid that we will find a countermeasure?"

Just now, when Guardiola and the others decided to carefully observe everything about Ye Tian and think about future countermeasures, Mourinho made a substitution on the sidelines.Smalling replaced Ye Tian, ​​and Manchester United returned to a 4-2-3-1 formation.

This made the Manchester City coaching staff feel a little regretful. They were preparing to observe Ye Tian's role in Manchester United's offense and defense.

Guardiola doesn't think that Mourinho is deliberately hiding Ye Tian. After all, he can hide this game, but he can't hide the next game. When the league starts, he always has to play, so he prefers to think that Mourinho is Substitutions made to give more players on the team a feel for the game.

He smiled and said to his assistant: "Leave him alone, as long as we are ourselves."

His assistant coach strongly agrees.

After all, they have achieved success in the Bundesliga and La Liga, and there is no reason why they would be dissatisfied in the Premier League.

They are full of confidence in their technical and tactical play, and firmly believe that it is the future of football. Any other football concepts and technical and tactical play will lose their light in front of their pass control.

Just be yourself, and they will win the championship!
……

On the court, after Ye Tiantian played, Matic immediately felt the difference.

Now their defensive position is 4-1-4-1, the 1 in the middle is Herrera and Matic in rotation, Mata, Lingard and Mkhitaryan all come back to defend, and Rashford is alone Top on top.

Herrera is faster than Matic, and his defensive position is also very strong, but his too thin body is nothing when confronting De Bruyne. Once Yaya Toure comes over, Herrera's position becomes a problem. problem.

At this time, it is time for Matic to perform.

Yaya Toure, the main member of Barcelona's six-time crown, but the glory of the past is leaving him.

His playing time at Manchester City is shrinking because of his old age and the abandonment incident due to inappropriate remarks last season.

From 40+ appearances in a single season to a total of 31 appearances last season, he feels that his playing time will be less this season.

Because of this, he will treat the warm-up match as the main match and try his best to show himself in front of the head coach so that he can continue to occupy the main position in the first team.

He knew that he was no longer a big boss.

Therefore, he is very active in fighting, especially in the current situation where the team is falling behind.

If Ye Tian was on the court, Yaya Toure could only look at the opponent's back with his ball-handling speed.

After Ye Tianxia was on the court, neither Herrera nor Matic had the ability to drive straight to the ball and break through. They could only play more of their passing function.

That's when experience emerges.

Yaya Toure's successful consecutive interceptions caused Manchester United's offensive organization to immediately appear faulty.

Fortunately, Manchester United's current morale is high, the fence is tight, and De Bruyne still hasn't found too many opportunities.

The two teams came and went to a stalemate.

Before the end of the first half, Matic intercepted the ball and then gave a long pass up the field. Rashford, under the defense of Kompany, failed to get the ball.

Goalkeeper Ederson cooperated with Kompany, directly confiscated the ball, and immediately made a long pass.

Sterling finally had a chance to break through with the ball in the frontcourt.

After twisting and turning to the upper left corner of the penalty area, after changing positions with Foden, taking advantage of the moment when Manchester United defender Valencia overlapped with Herrera who was returning to defense, he took a step towards the middle and found a gap to hit the goal.

One shot!
Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea went to the ground, blocked the ball with his body, and held the ball firmly in his arms with both hands.

Both goalkeepers performed very steadily.

The first half is over.

……

In the locker room, Mourinho severely criticized the players on the field and did not know how to adapt.

Can't go on the ground, can't you go through the air?
Now we are leading and going in the air, either we attack the ball or defend again. The advantage is that our midfielders will not lose their positions.

Just like the ball at the end of the first half, no one was out of position, and their shot could only be on the edge of the penalty area. This kind of reluctant shot is basically no threat!

On the other side, Guardiola is also a flat player on the field and does not know how to adapt.

Can't go on the ground, can't you go through the air?
Now that we are behind, we need to attack fast, so that we can equalize and overtake.

For the three conceded goals, he didn't say much.After all, Ye Tian was playing with their rookies and lacked experience.

In an official game, they would not give their opponents such a chance.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, under the instructions of the coaches of both sides, the rhythm was faster than that of the first half.

Soccer is basically in the air all the time.

Aguero got a long pass at the top of the arc in the penalty area, turned around and hit!
De Gea responded with a save, but then gave up immediately.

The ball ran out of the baseline by itself.Aguero misses.

Valencia received a long pass from the left and transferred, took a step forward and passed through.

Mkhitaryan got the ball on the right side of the penalty area to form a breakthrough and hit the goal.

Ederson blocked the angle and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

After the corner kick was taken out of the penalty area.

Herrera gets the ball in the 35 meter zone.

Long shot!

Ederson appears firmly in the flight path of the ball.

Grab the ball with both hands, then shoot down, and then hold it firmly in your hands after unloading the force.

Except for the three conceded goals planned by Ye Tian in the first half, Edson's performance was comparable to that of the opponent.

Within 15 minutes of the second half, Manchester United had 4 shots inside the goal frame, all of which were blocked by Ederson!

If you can't attack for a long time, the defense will be a little scattered.

Valencia's pass from the back to Herrera was directly intercepted.

This interception is deadly!

Because he directly blocked the line of the big penalty area.

It's Sterling again!
Under Matic's block, the ball was passed immediately, and Aguero got the ball in front of the small penalty area.

Smalling's position is stuck extremely well!

He and De Gea blocked the space for Aguero to hit the goal.

Aguero ignored it and raised his left foot to hit the goal!

Smalling shovel!
The ball bounced sideways on Smalling.

It doesn't bounce very far.

Aguero followed in two steps, and hit again!

Smalling bounced off the ground, put his hands behind his back, stretched his legs, and blocked again!
The ball hit Smalling's leg again and bounced high.

It took more than two seconds for the football to fly in the air before it fell and returned to the penalty area line.

Yaya Toure followed up with a volley!
hit high.

De Gea has no chance to perform. This defense is Smalling's highlight moment!

Last season, Smalling only played 36 games for Manchester United due to frequent injuries, scoring 2 goals and 2 assists.

Playing 62 games for the team in a single season is definitely a feat, but now it is obvious that he is a non-big shot player.

Of course, this is not only due to his injury, but also because he did not show his due competitive state when he played several times. He feels that he is gradually losing the trust of the head coach.

As a non-big player, his positioning is very clear. This season, he must maintain health and play at a high level.

Soon after a United attack was blocked, his chance came again.

Manchester City passed many times in the midfield, and finally the ball reached the forward De Bruyne's feet. With his own skills, he passed between Lingard and Blind and came to Manchester United's right outside the penalty area.

Diagonal arc pass!
That was all that Smolin had in mind!
So, he leaned on Aguero in the middle to prevent him from running freely.

De Bruyne's diagonal arc pass is not easy to defend.

Defensive players will accidentally hit the ball into their own goal and make an own goal.

And the striker in front of the goal can score with just a touch.

Therefore, as a central defender, Smalling believes that the most important thing at this time is to restrict Aguero!Let the goalkeeper handle this pass with his hands!

Under Smalling's defense, Aguero still made a diving leap!

But he couldn't hit the ball.

The football slid half a meter in front of his head.

If it wasn't for being blocked by Smolin!Aguero thought angrily!
In front of the goal, De Gea didn't dare to touch the ball with his hands!

Because the curveball has extreme spin, it is difficult to control directly with the hands.

He pushed forward and landed.

Use your stomach to block the ball, and use your body to make a cage to cover the ball!
Nice handle!
Very De Gea!

The two sides entered into endless tugging.

It seems that no one can launch an effective attack anymore.

Even if there is finally a chance to hit the goal, the opponent's goalkeeper will play bravely and will not concede the goal easily.

……

Both sides are making large-scale substitutions, so that as many players as possible can play and perform, which is the significance of the warm-up match.

McTominay got the ball once in the backcourt and made a long pass.

Frontcourt center Wilson rushed forward quickly. When the opponent's substitute goalkeeper made a reckless attack outside the penalty area, he took the first step to head the ball away, and then caught up and hit the goal successfully.

4-0!

Manchester City's captain Kompany looked very angry. Even if it was a warm-up match, he didn't want to end in this way.

The big guy who brought two league titles to Blue Moon is obviously one of the team's big bosses.

His yelling caused the Manchester City players to explode in a short time.

The scene was immediately reversed!
In addition, Manchester United are now all substitutes and substitutes on the field...

Blue Moon began to frequently create threats in front of the gate of the Red Devils!
Manchester City finally saved a little face by scoring two goals in a row in the final stage.

In the 2017 trip to the United States, the first overseas Manchester Derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, Manchester United beat Manchester City 4-2.

Of course, this Manchester City is not the strongest Manchester City, and Manchester United only maintained the strongest state for 20 minutes.
