Chapter 717 Fatal Strike

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!"

"Griezmann!! He scored the penalty calmly!!!"

"Two to one!! Manchester City took the lead again!!!"

In the stands, the fans booed everywhere!

Griezmann, who scored a penalty kick, rushed to the corner flag area and continued to do his "666" celebration posture that made Gao Bo unable to complain!
Taking the lead again, after Gao Bo celebrated with his assistants, Gao Bo called Hazard, who was very close to him, to the sidelines.

"Continue to attack Raphael's defense zone, the Brazilian kid must be getting anxious!!!"

Gao Bo said, Hazard nodded frequently!

The current form on the field is very favorable for Manchester City.

Especially in Manchester United's defense, Rafael and Hummels both received yellow cards, which is something Manchester City can take advantage of!
When the game restarted, Manchester City continued to focus their offense on the left.

In the face of Hazard's continuous breakthroughs, Manchester United's right back Rafael seemed powerless. Defense was originally Rafael's relatively weak point, but now he is still carrying a yellow card, and he dare not make any big moves.

On this side, Nani had to come back frequently to help Raphael's defense, while Kolarov took the opportunity to press up, and both Modric and Thiago were forced to lean to the right.

For a while, Manchester United's right flank and Manchester City's offensive left flank were the focus of contention between the two sides!

Due to Raphael's yellow card, he is also timid on the defensive end.

Manchester City has the advantage on this side!And as Kaka and others also moved to this side, Manchester City's offensive advantage on this side is getting bigger and bigger!

Manchester United also had to tilt the overall striker to the right!

In the final stage of the first half, Manchester City took the absolute initiative on the field!
It's a pity that they failed to use the last bit of time in the first half to expand the score! !
When Kaka's shot from the penalty area line was embraced by De Gea, the referee Clattenburg also blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

The first half is over!

In the 2012-2013 season, in the Manchester derby in the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City temporarily led the city's rival Manchester United [-]-[-]!

The Manchester United players left the field quickly with serious expressions.

The Manchester City players had smiles on their faces. In the first half of the game, especially in the second half, they had the advantage and also took the lead in the score.

This is a very perfect result!

Of course, it would be even better if this result lasted until the end of the game! !

"The first half of the game is over, and Manchester United are behind Manchester City one to two at home! The winner of this season's championship depends to a large extent on the performance of both sides in the second half! Manchester United must equalize the score and strive to overtake, so as to gain the upper hand in the championship competition. Otherwise, they may only be able to watch Manchester City go to the championship!!"

"Even if we win this game, we can't say that Manchester City will win the championship. After all, there are still seven or eight rounds in the league, but there is no doubt that Manchester City will be one step closer to the championship! They are only a window away from the Premier League championship!!"

The narrators said one after another.

During the intermission, Gao Bo praised his players, and he praised all the players.

Later, he said to his players: "In the second half of the game, we don't need to make any changes. In the second half, we will still play as we did in the first half, keeping pressure on them on the offensive end! In this way, the final victory of the game will eventually belong to us!"

Gao Bo arranged four powerful attackers on the offensive end, so he naturally couldn't let the team back to defend - this is self-defeating martial arts!

On Guardiola's side, he made a series of adjustments.

The first is to replace Raphael!

Guardiola is not too satisfied with Rafael's yellow card and his contribution to defense.

And it was not a defender who replaced him, but Valencia, who had always been a winger!
"Louis, you came on as a substitute for Rafael in the second half!!"

When Guardiola announced in the dressing room, Valencia was a little strange.

He is a winger.

"You go play right back!!!"

Guardiola declared.

Valencia nodded. His biggest feature is his strong execution ability. If the head coach asked him to play as a defender, then he would play as a defender.

No further words!

"Paul!! You can't stick to the ball in the second half, pass the ball quickly, and handle the ball decisively!! Whether it's passing or shooting!!"

"We need to be more active on the offensive end, Wayne!! In the second half, you have a wider range of activities!! The two wingers must resolutely insert into the middle!!!"

Guardiola kept talking, and Manchester United players kept nodding.

At this stage, everyone knows what the consequences of losing this game will be.

Losing this game may mean losing this season's championship! !
"I won't emphasize the significance of this game!!"

Guardiola finally said: "I only want to emphasize one point: Attack!!! Attack!!! This is our home field, use offense to push them back!!"

After the start of the second half, Manchester City did not make any substitutions.

When Gao Bo saw that Valencia replaced Rafael, he was not too surprised.

If Raphael is still on the field, Manchester United may soon have one less player.

And a winger from Valencia came to play as a full-back. Guardiola probably wanted to take advantage of Valencia's wing impact!

But this is a double-edged sword!

This means that Valencia is a more offensive player than Rafael, and their gap on the right still exists!
Guardiola is also starting to gamble.

And the bet he needs to pay is likely to be the champion of this season! ! !
The game became more intense in the second half.

When Fernandinho shoveled Rooney and was shown a yellow card, the number of yellow cards in the second half was obviously more than that in the first half.

In 1 minute of the game, Thiago put a shovel behind his back, knocked Kaka to the ground, and was shown a yellow card.

Then for Manchester City, Kolarov knocked over Nani and was also given a yellow card.

In the next 10 minutes of the game, the referee Clattenburg issued five yellow cards, three of which were given to Manchester United and two to Manchester City!
"The atmosphere of the derby is up, and the actions of the two teams have begun to increase!!"

In the 601st minute of the game, Manchester City organized an attack in the frontcourt, and Griezmann cut inside and was brought down by Evra!
Evra was then shown a yellow card.

Evra seemed so innocent that he didn't think his actions were enough to lead to a yellow card.

However, the referee Clattenburg remembered it very clearly. He pointed out with his fingers that this was the fourth time Evra had fouled Griezmann since the beginning of the second half, and he had to play a card!
Manchester City get a free kick in a good position!
Griezmann got up from the ground and took the free kick himself!
Under everyone's gaze, Griezmann kicked the ball up with his left foot!

With a strong rotation, the football bypassed the wall!
Gao Bo stared at the football spinning in the air, time seemed to slow down a lot!
boom! ! !
This is the sound of football hitting the crossbar!

This sound hit the hearts of Manchester United fans like a giant hammer!

"pretty!!!"

Gao Bo clenched his fist!

In the field, the football hit the lower edge of the crossbar and bounced into the goal!

Three to one! !
A fatal blow for Manchester City! !
