From the man behind the football king to the football king.

The moment Manchester United stepped into the Etihad Stadium, there were overwhelming boos throughout the stadium.

The game has not yet started, and both sides have to conduct the last training session before the game, but the stands are already crowded. Manchester City fans have an overwhelming advantage, but there are also some visiting Manchester United fans who are resisting tenaciously.

Bruno was observing the training of the opponent Manchester City, focusing on observing their players.

Similarly, Manchester City's De Bruyne and Aguero were also observing the Manchester United players on the field. When they saw Bruno and others, they all nodded one by one and paid tribute from a distance.

The duel on the court will not affect the dealings with each other off the court, which is a gentlemanly manner.

Guardiola and Mourinho also stood in front of the coaching bench of the home and away teams, observing the opponent's player lineup and guessing the possible starting lineup.

Before the game, both sides played smoke bombs.

Guardiola took the initiative to show weakness, repeatedly emphasizing that Manchester City was 20 points behind Manchester United. They must show their best performance at the Etihad to defeat Manchester United. Even losing is not surprising.

Mourinho said that Manchester United will take the initiative at the Etihad Stadium and will not choose to be conservative just because the opponent is Manchester City.

But the outside world generally believes that neither coach is telling the truth.

Guardiola is playing at home and will certainly not let Manchester United off easily, while Mourinho is playing away from home. Facing a mature and stable Manchester City team, taking the initiative to attack away from home is an act that seeks death.

But no one is sure what kind of tactics the opponent will adopt.

………………

It wasn't until after the training session that the two sides returned to the locker room and made final preparations that the starting lineups of both sides were freshly released.

The goalkeeper is Bravo, the defense is Zabaleta, Kompany, Otamendi and Colarovs, and the midfield three is Yaya Toure, Fernandinho and De Bruyne. The front trident is Sane, Sterling and Aguero.

This is Manchester City's starting lineup for this game, but it is still unclear how they will stand on the court.

Josep Guardiola has been criticized by Yaya Toure's agent after he was dropped by Guardiola at the start of the season, leaving him out of the Champions League squad. , but the matter ended with Yaya Toure's apology. Yaya Toure also returned to the Manchester City lineup and gradually secured his main position.

Although he is 34 years old, Yaya Toure's strength is still there and he can give the team strong support in defense and offense. This was also the reason why he had the confidence to provoke Bruno.

………………

"I have watched all of Manchester City's recent games, and veteran Yaya Toure has played almost all the games and performed quite well, especially in the Premier League."

"But I also discovered some problems, that is, when Yaya Toure is on the court, the combination between him and De Bruyne obviously has no spark, and it is still not as good as David Silva. No matter whether it is the overall organization of the midfield or the ability to control the ball and rhythm, it is obviously not as good as David Silva."

"This is a point we can take advantage of. We need to properly suppress our opponents in the midfield and force them to make mistakes, while we seize the opportunity to play behind."

"In a word, we must try to compress Manchester City's passing space and try to force them into the center."

Mourinho's game strategy is very clear. Through the defensive level, Manchester City's passing and ball control cannot form effective penetration, and then try to force their offensive line to the center.

In the midfield, the double midfielder combination of Kanter and Gundogan can be said to be the strongest double midfielder in the world. Whether it is organization or defense, Manchester United has full confidence in them, especially Kanter.

When Manchester United got Manchester City's starting lineup, Guardiola also got Manchester United's starting lineup.

Goalkeeper De Gea, the defense line is Damian, Blind, Maguire and Valencia, the midfield double midfielder is Kante and Fellaini, the forward line, Carrick is in the center, Gundogan and Bruno was on both wings, and Rashford's single arrow shot forward.

………………

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, what we are broadcasting live for you now is the Manchester City Derby at home against Manchester United in the twenty-sixth round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season."

"This is a game that attracts worldwide attention, with many of the world's top superstars on both sides."

"The home team Manchester City has top stars such as Aguero, De Bruyne, Sterling, Yaya Toure, Fernandinho, Kompany, etc., and Manchester United is also not far behind, with world football players Bruno is the best player in the world, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the leading center, England superstar Rooney is there, and top midfielders like N’Golo Kante and Carrick are also in the midfield.”

“It can be said that both teams are full of talents and star-studded players. Tonight’s Manchester City derby is also known as the most expensive game in the history of world football. The combined worth of players from both sides is the highest in the world. "

"The person responsible for officiating tonight's game is England's famous international referee Martin Atkinson."

………………

"The game is about to start and both teams are lining up in their respective halves."

"We can see that on Manchester City's side, Sterling appears on the left, De Bruyne is in the center, Aguero plays the center position, and Sane is still on the right."

"For Manchester United, Damian started at the left back position. This was seen as a signal for Mourinho to actively defend, because Damian's offensive ability is obviously weaker than Ash's. Leigh Young and Luke Shaw.”

"Both teams have made targeted arrangements to see how the specific game works."

"This is the head coach of the two teams. Guardiola and Mourinho are both world-famous coaches. This is the third competition between the two coaches this season. In the first two games, Manchester United won at home. .”

"This is Manchester City's number one star, Sergio Aguero, the top scorer in Manchester City's history. He has currently scored 17 goals in the Premier League and his performance is quite good. He ranks sixth on the scorer list, with Manchester United's Ibrahimovic. Tie with Rakhimovic."

"This is Bruno, the last FIFA Ballon d'Or winner and a favorite for this year's European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year."

"The game is about to start. Manchester City is attacking from left to right, and Manchester United is attacking from right to left."

"Manchester United kicked off first."

………………

As soon as Manchester United kicked off, Manchester City took the initiative to press forward.

The ball went from the backcourt to the frontcourt and quickly fell into Manchester City's control. Otamendi headed the ball down and handed it to Fernandinho.

Manchester City took this opportunity to overcome the half, and Fernandinho quickly passed the ball to the right.

Zabaleta inserted along the right wing, received the ball and drove straight in, trying to launch an attack on the right wing.

Manchester City's first attack was when Zabaleta tried to pass the ball into the penalty area, but Maguire took the lead and headed the ball to clear the ball.

But the ball is still at Manchester City's feet.

Manchester United returned to defense very quickly. The defense line and double midfielders quickly returned to their positions, and the entire formation was kept relatively compact.

The three players in the frontcourt, Bruno, Rashford and Gundogan, did not return to defense, but went up to the front, forming a formation similar to 4213, which fully demonstrated Manchester United's attitude. That is to never stick to it.

Manchester City started the game fiercely, with Zabaleta playing more active on the right. He once again tried to send the ball into the penalty area, but the placement was not very good, and Blind pushed it out again.

Kante handed the ball to Carrick. After getting the ball, the England midfielder took a step forward along the center, directly passed the ball through the ball, and sent the ball behind Manchester City's defense.

But this time, Rashford turned slowly and failed to catch up immediately. The ball came to the edge of Manchester City's penalty area and was intercepted by Bravo.

………………

"It can be seen that Manchester United still wants to attack, but Mourinho is obviously also worried about the defense behind him. Facing a team like Manchester City, the ability to pass, control and penetrate the ball is really excellent. As long as there is a slight gap, , will be firmly grasped by the opponent, so it is understandable to seek stability in the backcourt."

"And Manchester City tried to attack at the beginning, and the effect looked very good. Zabaleta was very active on the right. But in this way, the defensive problems behind Zabaleta were also exposed. Who will freeze Bruno?"

As soon as the on-site commentator finished speaking, Manchester United's midfielder once again successfully defended Manchester City's pass. Kanter intercepted the ball and Blind kicked it forward without thinking.

Bruno pulled to the left to catch the ball, stopped with his chest, and faced Kompany who was rushing to catch up to defend. Bruno hooked his foot, stopped the ball, and suddenly poked forward. He quickly got rid of Kompany and chased after him.

"Beautiful pass! Bruno took advantage of his speed and forced a breakthrough against Kompany!"

………………

As soon as Bruno passed Kompany, he immediately used his body to block Kompany, dribbled the ball diagonally into the penalty area, and seemed to rush in directly to kick the goal. This scared Manchester City's other central defender Otamendi to rush in immediately. Come and intercept.

Before rushing into the penalty area, Bruno lightly passed with his left foot to the right side of the top arc of the penalty area. Gundogan followed up and volleyed directly with his left foot, high.

The German grabbed his head with both hands and shook his head at Bruno in frustration. He was a little too hasty and failed to suppress the ball.

"Manchester United's counterattack was very threatening this time. When Bruno faced Kompany, his speed advantage was obvious and he was very decisive in handling the ball. If Gundogan can stop and play again, it should be possible."

"However, although they failed to create a threat, the defensive problems behind Zabaleta were still exposed. Now it depends on how Manchester City can defend Bruno."
