Football: Reject the national football team, I will join the German national team

The weather in Manchester is pretty good today.

Even at 8:45 at night, it was still 7 or 8 degrees!

In particular, the entire stadium was already filled with fans from both sides and was extremely enthusiastic.

The players from both sides also met in the tunnel in advance.

Some pleasantries are inevitable.

"Brother Chen, it's really stressful to play football at Dream Theater!" Wang Chu leaned close to Ye Chen and spoke to him in Chinese.

"It's as if we don't have much pressure going to Etihad." Ye Chen rolled his eyes, "Don't worry, we will end the battle as soon as possible tonight and make you lose happily!"

"Tsk, we don't know who will win or lose yet, we just tied you!" Wang Chu said very calmly.

"Then let's see who's the winner on the field!" Ye Chen smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Snapped!"

Wang Chu high-fived him and said, "Just do it!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh...

This has become a catchphrase among the brothers and is currently the most popular Chinese language in Europe.

The main reason is that these four words can be used in a wide range...

scene one:

"What if a girl gets drunk?"

"Just do it!"

Scene two:

"I have no money left for food, can I buy it for free?"

"Just do it!"

Scene three:

"My face will turn purple if I take the medicine, but it won't be detected by anti-doping people, right?"

"Just do it..."

At this time, Seat B also came over and whispered, "Speak less, don't let the camera catch you, or I'll blackmail you again!"

"OK!" Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

After all, it's a city derby.

Fans of both sides are competing with each other.

So they have to maintain "outward indifference".

Although Ye Chen scoffed at this, the power of public opinion was indeed too great...

Especially since some fan circle culture has invaded the football world, Ye Chen also has to pay attention to his behavior.

However, "Just do it" is indeed popular in Europe.

The main thing is that this sentence can be used in all aspects...

Players from both teams walked out of the player tunnel under the leadership of Graham Scott.

In the Manchester City team, a 169cm tall player was trying hard to look up at the back of Ye Chen's head.

There is only one thought in my mind -

"I can fail once, twice, three times, but I will never lose my whole life!"

"Today is the day to defeat you!"

The last draw was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Manchester City.

They saw that this Manchester United team was not invincible.

Next, we just need to do what we should do and wait for Manchester United to make mistakes...

The fans at the scene shouted Ye Chen's name.

After Ronaldo was injured, Ye Chen became their only spiritual support.

They all hope that the team can defeat their city’s arch-rivals under Ye Chen’s leadership!

Well, although there is not much grudge between them.

But some fans are annoying...

In the last game, Manchester City just drew with Manchester United, but they mocked Manchester United in various ways.

There is only one thing they are best at - talking about issues without considering the facts.

Especially since Messi was the best player in the previous game, Ye Chen, who also performed well, was said to be worthless.

Fortunately, the semi-finals of the English League Cup are two rounds.

Ye Chen has plenty of opportunities to fight back!

After a complicated pre-match ceremony, Manchester City, playing away, kicked off first.

"Beep!"

As the game officially started, Manchester City firmly controlled the ball from the beginning.

Once Manchester United players go for the ball, they pass it back.

Obviously, Manchester City's tactics today were to control the ball first and then look for loopholes in the defense.

Zhao Zhao, who was commentating on bilibili, only started reading out today's starting lineup at this time.

"Manchester United will play at home with all their main players!"

"Goalkeeper De Gea!"

"Cancelo at left back, Maguire and Pepe at centre back, and Damian at right back."

"The three midfielders are Ronaldo, Modric and De Bruyne."

"Left winger Rashford, forward Ye Chen, right winger Valencia!"

"We saw veteran Valencia return to his familiar right winger position, which was a rather surprising tactical arrangement."

"Manchester City also used a 433 formation."

"Goalkeeper Ederson."

"Left back Zinchenko, double center back Otamendi and Stones, right back Kyle Walker!"

"The three midfielders are Fernandinho, Bernardo Silva and Wang Chu."

"Left winger Sane, forward Aguero, right winger Messi!"

Both sides made certain adjustments to their starting lineups.

Manchester City's changes are in the midfield, while Manchester United's changes are in the front line.

Letting Valencia play as a right winger was something no one expected...

But this arrangement must have its own unique features.

The game process was a bit boring.

A full 20 minutes, and there wasn't even a single highlight reel...

The ball possession changed frequently, but Ye Chen never got a chance to get the ball!

25 minutes 08 seconds.

Manchester United passed the ball from the backcourt.

De Gea passed the ball directly to Cancelo on the left.

Cancelo dribbled the ball to the wing.

Facing Messi's interception, he accelerated and changed direction to pass it.

Of course, Messi's defense is just for show.

But just after passing Messi, he was targeted by Kyle Walker.

Cancelo knew he couldn't get past the half-billion-dollar full-back, so he made a decisive cross pass.

Give the ball to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne didn't want to give the ball to Ye Chen at all, as there were people all around him.

"Boom!"

A direct large-scale transfer passed the ball to Valencia on the right.

Although Valencia played as a defender for a while, he still played as a winger.

After going straight to the bottom line, he made a mindless cross.

However, such an attack was easily punched out of the penalty area by goalkeeper Ederson.

The ball just fell at the feet of De Bruyne who had just made a long pass.

"Boom!"

Tintin splits the sides again, his thoughts are quite clear.

Rashford, who was on the left side, swept the ball directly to the middle, hoping that a powerful shot would work a miracle.

But unfortunately, the ball was hit by the goalkeeper. Before Ye Chen could make a follow-up shot, Stones, who reacted very quickly, cleared the ball quickly and resolved the crisis.

Ye Chen, who missed the chance to make up the shot, also sighed...

Today's game was more difficult than he had imagined.

Of course, the weather was also very unfriendly.

The weather was already very cold at 7 or 8 degrees, and now it was raining.

All the players couldn't tell whether it was sweat or rain...

The attack here failed, and Manchester City also accelerated the pace of attack.

After all, they focused on controlling the ball in the beginning because they were worried that Manchester United would grab the start, and they were not in good shape.

Now, after half an hour of adaptation, both sides have entered the game state.

It’s time to get down to business!

31 minutes 22 seconds.

Wang Chu took the free kick.

"Oh!"

But instead of sending the ball to the middle of the packed crowd, he split it to the left side.

The left-back Zinchenko, who had been on the left, suddenly accelerated forward.

Wang Chu made a fake pass and suddenly sent the ball to Zinchenko who was unguarded on the left...

"This is a tactical set piece!"

"Zinchenko made a decisive low cross from the left!"

"Aguero is at the front..."

"The ball went in!!!"

As Zhao Zhao explained, the ball went into the net...

At this moment, Manchester United fans all fell silent, with dazed expressions.

They could accept that the game was boring, but why did they suddenly fall behind?
