The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

Forty-five minutes into the first half, Manchester City's ball possession rate was as high as 81%. They organized the offense smoothly. The players ran actively and passed and received the ball smoothly. Once the ball was lost, they counterattacked on the spot and pressed high. They even committed more fouls than Manchester United. many.

But only a quarter of an hour into the second half, Manchester United had already committed twice as many fouls as the opponent, including shoulder-picking, clothes-tearing, sideways collisions, and even a flying tackle that made onlookers tremble!

The whistles are blowing one after another, and Atkinson has already taken out six yellow cards, five of which are for Manchester United, Herrera, Thomas Muller, Ashley Young, Alderweireld, and Lukaku.

Manchester United quickly replaced Ashley Young with Rojo, but the Argentine defender immediately brought down Douglas Costa fiercely after coming on and received the sixth yellow card.

The first half was the most elegant 45 minutes in the Manchester Derby. Zhan Jun said with emotion: Unexpectedly, there were no personnel adjustments, but the Manchester United players showed a completely different performance... Oh oh oh, oh, This is a serious foul!

Beep! A sharp whistle sounded.

Guardiola, who was on the sidelines, rushed forward and almost poked Coleman's face with his finger, who was still acting innocent.

Isn't this a red card? Aguero complained loudly to the referee.

Sun Wu squeezed into the crowd and raised his index finger to emphasize, This is just his first foul, right?

They don't want to play football at all! David Silva shouted from the outside, They just want to kick people!

This is men's football! Ashley Young, a sharp-tongued man, learned and applied it flexibly. You should play in the women's league!

What did you say!

Fuck fuck fuck!

A commotion suddenly broke out. Sun Wu did not cause trouble this time, but instead pulled his teammates away one by one... Come on, there is really no hope after a few more yellow cards!

Perhaps because he saw that Sun Wu was very well-behaved this time, Atkinson showed Coleman a yellow card... However, this foul looked very fierce, but it was actually a five-pointer, and Coleman touched the ball. .

The replay is coming... Aguero split the ball, it was a wild ball! Zhang Lu watched the replay attentively, Sterling wanted to pick the ball, but Coleman went to the ground to tackle... first touched the ball, and then kicked it On Sterling's calf.

Okay, okay, it's a yellow card. Zhan Jun breathed a sigh of relief, If he is sent off,

It will be difficult to fight later.

At this time, the big screen turned, and Sterling, who was being carried on a stretcher, was covering his face and crying bitterly. Although his expression could not be seen, big tears fell from his fingers.

Well done! Sun Wu quietly pulled Coleman and gave him a thumbs up, Be careful next, Thomas also has a yellow card, I asked him to switch positions with Griezmann.

A yellow card killed Sterling, and the deal was a good deal.

Sun Wu looked at the stretcher from a distance and said in his heart... Football doesn't believe in tears!

Seeing Sterling crying, the Manchester City players, who had two goals in hand, obviously started to shrink back. However, Manchester United did not seem to be in a hurry to score the opponent's goal. They deployed heavy troops in the midfield, and crazy interceptions, steals and ubiquitous flying tackles made Manchester United Firmly controlled the midfield.

In the 63rd minute, Schneiderlin pressed forward to steal Tevez, who had just come on as a substitute. The former's hands were not clean, and the latter was no better than Sterling. After losing the ball, he immediately shouldered it with his elbow, and the two fell to the ground at the same time.

But the whistle didn't sound. Sun Wu took the ball and walked forward, past David Silva, and poked Griezmann on the wing with his toe.

Griezmann took the ball and waited for Coleman to intervene in the back row, but suddenly cut inside and broke through diagonally. However, Fernandinho made a timely defense and the ball was eventually cleared out of the baseline.

Corner kick, this is Manchester United's first corner kick in the game. The set kick is Manchester United's most likely chance to score now.

Sun Wu stood in the penalty area, looking at the chaotic penalty area with his hands on his hips. Almost no one's hands were honest. Everyone was making small movements. Even Bravo was desperately trying to pull Herrere out of the way. push.

After two consecutive free throws were called back by Atkinson, Sun Wu waved his right foot for his third run-up. The flight path of the ball had no arc, but it was fast and flat, heading straight to the front point.

The whistle didn't sound this time... move forward!

The ferry...the back point...Alderweireld!

The goal went in...look at Atkinson...the goal is valid!

Instead of celebrating, Alderweireld snatched the ball away and ran toward the center circle, then danced his arms to encourage the fans.

Manchester United pulled one back from the first corner kick. The following game is great to watch!

Zhang Lu said excitedly: Alderweireld was seriously injured for three months. After his comeback, he was in mediocre form. He conceded 4 goals against Real Madrid. He conceded two goals in the first half of this game, but he helped Manchester United in the set piece. Make a contribution!

It seems that the Manchester City players are protesting? Zhan Jun coughed twice, Let's see... At the front point, Lukaku and Kompany were fighting for the top. Lukaku's head failed to hit Kompany behind him. , but Kompany’s header hit the back point.”

Oh, Alderweireld sprinted from the penalty area line and used his speed to hit a header...The ball went in, he also scored, and he knocked Kolarov over.

The reason why Manchester City players protested was that Alderweireld fouled first and Kolarov was stuck in position.

But Atkinson did not change the decision and even gave Tevez a yellow card for the rude words. However, he immediately ran into the penalty area because Kolarov had not gotten up yet.

At this time, the slow motion came. Sun Wu, who was waiting for the kick-off outside the center circle, couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth. Kolarov was knocked over by Alderweireld, and the back of his head hit the goal post without any bias. superior……

After checking for a moment, the Manchester City team doctor reluctantly made a substitution gesture towards Guardiola from a distance.

Kolarov couldn't hold on any longer. The impact was so powerful that he might have suffered a concussion.

But Alderweireld didn't do it on purpose.

But no matter what, the first half was the most polite forty-five minutes of the Manchester Derby. Zhan Jun sighed: The second half is likely to be the bloodiest forty-five minutes of the Manchester Derby!

Killing the opponent's two main players and regaining a victory, Manchester United's morale was greatly boosted, while Blue Moon's people were panicked.

There is no left back on the Manchester City bench. Clichy was eliminated by Guardiola as early as the summer. Kolarov's substitute was Bartra who came as a guest. However, Guardiola's direct line has been injured repeatedly and is still lying in bed. On the hospital bed.

In the 68th minute, Manchester City replaced Kolarov with Thiago.

Thiago? Zhan Jun asked in surprise: Director Zhang, what do you think?

Well, first of all, Kompany and Otamendi will definitely not be able to play as full-backs. Secondly, Thiago...it will be difficult for him to play as full-backs. Zhang Lu hesitated before saying: Will Guardiola change Formation?

Zhang Lu was still hesitating, but Sun Wu immediately knew what Guardiola wanted to do.

Thiago stood in the left midfield after coming on the field, David Silva stood in the attacking midfielder position, Douglas Costa retreated slightly on the right, Jingdongan and Fernandinho guarded the center.

Manchester City changed to a 352 formation, with Walker, Kompany and Otamendi playing three central defenders, Aguero and Tevez playing two forwards, and the remaining five people formed the midfield.

Sun Wu gritted his teeth and was furious in his heart. He made a precise flying tackle and destroyed the ball out of bounds. He got up and stared at Guardiola fiercely.

The reason why Sun Wu encouraged and encouraged his teammates to take the toughest stance during the halftime break was simply to gain control of the midfield.

Jingdong'an and David Silva's defensive hardness and intensity were average. After Sun Wu, Herrera, Schneiderlin, Thomas Muller, and Griezmann made fierce interceptions and tackles, Manchester City had already It was difficult to control the midfield, and the possession of the ball in the second half was roughly evenly matched between the two sides.

But after Kolarov was injured and went off the field, Guardiola ingeniously chose three central defenders. He also focused on the midfielder, changing from three midfielders to five midfielders. The number of midfielders was no longer at a disadvantage, and Tia Ge is a player with very strong passing and receiving abilities.

Guardiola's changes had an immediate effect. Although the Manchester United players were still working hard, the passing and receiving of the Manchester City midfielder gradually became smoother.
