The strongest waist king of the Red Devils

Chapter 232
Receiving a clever back-heel pass from Ivica Olic, Nani got away from Javier Garrido and cut into the City box.

A good chance for a one-handed goal. Nani calmly looked at the direction of Manchester City's goal and the position of goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Noticing that Kasper Schmeichel had abandoned the goal and rushed towards him, Nani feinted a bit, trying to interfere with Kasper Schmeichel, and then suddenly lifted the ball and shot.

Nani's shot, past Kasper Schmeichel's hand, quickly jumped towards Manchester City's goal.

But at the last moment, the ball hit the outside of the post near the goal and bounced off the baseline.

Such a one-handed goal missed, Nani was a little surprised, he couldn't help covering his cheeks with his hands, and looked up at the sky, very annoyed.

If he had just played a little more positively, he might have scored a goal.

What a pity, what a pity.

In the 58th minute, Sun Qi received a pass from Carrick, turned around and got rid of Giovanni, and then knocked the ball across to Scholes.

Scholes widened the ball to David Silva on the left.

David Silva dribbled the ball forward, past Vedran Korluka, and passed low into the penalty area.

Ivica Olic made a quick move and volleyed close to the penalty spot, but the ball was too straight for Kasper Schmeichel.

In the 63rd minute, both sides made substitutions.

Manchester United replaced Carrick with Darren Fletcher, and replaced Nani with Igors.

On the Manchester City side, Rolando Bianchi was used to replace German veteran Dietmar Hamann.

In this game, facing Sun Qi, David Silva, and Nani's attacks in turn, the veteran Dilmar Hamann seemed to be struggling on both offense and defense.

Coupled with the fact that Manchester City is already four goals behind Manchester United, the defense does not make much sense, so it is better to strengthen the offense and give it a go.

Replaced by Italian center Rolando Bianchi, Manchester City coach Eriksson also hopes to further increase the offensive manpower and attack Manchester United's defense. I hope that at least one goal can be scored, so that the score will not be so ugly.

Moreover, with the offensive containment, Manchester City can also relieve some pressure on defense, so that they will not be completely suppressed by Manchester United.

It's just that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

Manchester United's offense is still sharp, and the threat has not diminished.

In the 67th minute, Darren Fletcher made a direct pass to Sun Qi, and Sun Qi picked the ball forward and passed it to Ivica Olic who was going forward.

Ivica Olić cut into the right side of the penalty area and seemed to pass and shoot, causing Manchester City to break out in a cold sweat.

However, Ivica Olic's shot went slightly wide of the far post.

In the 69th minute, Sun Qi broke through Michael Johnson in the middle and passed the ball across.

Darren Fletcher volleys into the ball from outside the box.

But the ball was saved by goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel and then cleared by Vedran Korluka.

In the 73rd minute, Sun Qi passed the ball diagonally to David Silva on the left. David Silva quickly changed direction and broke through Michael Johnson's defense, but was pulled down by Michael Johnson from behind.

Michael Johnson has been shown the yellow card for a foul.

Manchester United won a free kick.

This time the free kick was too close to the left, and David Silva drove it directly, looking for Rio Ferdinand who was behind the penalty area.

It's just that Rio Ferdinand's header went slightly over the crossbar.

In the 75th minute, Igors was knocked down by Carlos Tevez when he dribbled the ball inside.

Manchester United won a free kick and Carlos Tevez was given a verbal warning by the referee Clattenburg because of a foul.

This time, Carlos Tevez knew he didn't suffer, so he accepted the punishment and didn't pester him any more.

For free kick opportunities, Sun Qi and David Silva are responsible for taking the penalty.

The Manchester City team's human wall was just lined up. Sun Qi stood in front of the ball and began to step back step by step, measuring his footsteps, which made the Manchester City team's defensive players more and more nervous.

At this time, David Silva began to run towards the left, which did not attract much attention from Manchester City's defensive players.

However, when he was about to reach the ball, David Silva suddenly accelerated and kicked the ball violently.

The ball flew up, flew over the Manchester City team wall that had not yet had time to take off, and flew to the left side of Manchester City's goal.

Manchester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel was caught off guard by David Silva's sudden shot this time, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

When he was dumbfounded and just bent his knees to make a save, the ball flew into the goal first.

Manchester United, score another goal and lead Manchester City by five goals!

This free kick coordination routine has been practiced by Manchester United in training.

In the beginning, it was the cooperation between Ronaldo and Sun Qi, and later, Sun Qi and David Silva also played together.

Unexpectedly, in this match against Manchester City, the cooperation of Sun Qi and David Silva successfully penetrated the gate of Manchester City and scored another goal for Manchester United.

Because the Manchester City team is very afraid of Sun Qi's free kick level, the focus has always been on Sun Qi. With Sun Qi's retreat, they became nervous, which also caused David Silva to run up.

Such a change caught Manchester City by surprise, made their defense a lot slower, and gave David Silva a chance to score easily, almost by hitting an empty goal.

Now, the Manchester City players, especially the defensive players who lined up the wall, and the goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, don't look very good, full of remorse.

If they had known this would be the case, they would have paid more attention to David Silva, and they might not have been scored by Manchester United with such a wonderfully coordinated free kick.

They are all responsible for this conceded goal.

They could have done better, but because Sun Qi attracted all their attention, they didn't take David Silva's shot to heart, which allowed David Silva to make a sneak attack.

Now, five goals behind Manchester United, they lost badly.

Michael Johnson, squatting on the grass, covering his face with his hands, really didn't want to see the fans disappointed.

Micah Richards also clenched his hands into fists, with an ugly expression on his face.

Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, with his head bowed, felt uncomfortable...
