Chapter 340 Tactics
After the start of the second half, the performance of the two teams was really different.

First of all, many people have found that De Bruyne's position is closer to the middle than in the first half. This adjustment may be to avoid Shen Peng's defense. After all, De Bruyne is also an important fulcrum of Manchester City's offense.

On Manchester United's side, Rashford's position has been adjusted a bit later. After Manchester City put the defensive focus on both sides, Rashford will serve as a series character in Manchester United's midfield attack.

Ten minutes later, Manchester City broke the deadlock first. They attacked from the left. Gundogan passed the ball calmly when facing the defense of his former teammate Aubameyang. The ball passed to Sterling in front.

Aguedo was in good form in this game. After receiving the pass, he volleyed directly and the ball flew into the far corner of the goal.

Two to one!

Not long after the start of the second half, Manchester City overtook the score. After Ibrahimovic returned to Manchester United, Manchester United fell behind for the first time, and it was also the first time that the opponent scored two goals!

"Beautiful! This ball is the victory of pass and control play! Obviously, even Manchester United cannot completely prevent Manchester City's attack like clouds and water!"

"It seems that in this match between the Manchester City duo, Manchester City seems to be even better!"

"If even Manchester United can't beat Manchester City, this Manchester City team is really terrible!"

At this time, the camera was just right on Mourinho, wanting to see what the expression of the current Manchester United coach is like, but when people saw the expressionless and calm Mourinho in the camera, they couldn't help wondering, shouldn't Mourinho be yelling on the sidelines at this time?

Of course, no one will pay too much attention to this matter, compared to this, enjoying this wonderful game is more important.

The game came to 10 and [-] minutes. During this period, both sides had some chances, but they didn't score. The score was always fixed at [-] to [-]. The voices of Manchester City fans gradually became louder. Now their team is getting closer and closer to victory. As long as they win this game, they will double-kill Manchester United this season.

But at this moment, Mourinho rushed to the field and made a gesture.

From the perspective of outsiders, this gesture does not understand what it means, but the Manchester United players showed a sudden look.

At this time, Manchester City attempted an attack, and the final shot was caught by De Gea because it was too straight.

After De Gea passed the ball, the ball was passed to the midfield as before, and it was quickly passed to the midfield.

After Pogba took the ball, he suddenly passed to the left, and the ball rolled towards Shen Peng!
In the previous games, except for assisting Pogba to score goals, Shen Peng has not performed very well, because he has always been marked by two Manchester City players.

But at this time, Shen Peng received the pass first.

As before, most people thought that Manchester United's attack would be the same as before. When being defended by Manchester City, Shen Peng suddenly accelerated with the ball and rushed all the way to the Manchester City penalty area!
In order to prevent Shen Peng's rapid passing, Manchester City has long been prepared. Two people marking Shen Peng, one is next to Shen Peng, and the other is a certain distance in front of Shen Peng. This can interfere with Shen Peng.

They have done this before, and the effect is not bad, and Shen Peng has not had any outstanding performance because of this.

In the face of Shen Peng's breakthrough, Walker, who was locked in advance, moved his feet and ran towards Shen Peng's forward, preparing to use his body to limit Shen Peng's speed.

But after he acted, he suddenly discovered that Shen Peng seemed to have become faster?

No, it's not that Shen Peng is fast, but that he is slow!
He quickly felt a tired feeling on his body and legs, and he understood it instantly!

In the previous seven and 10 minutes of the game, in order to defend Shen Peng, he often followed Shen Peng to run continuously, and his physical fitness was also slowly consumed during this period!
And the illusion that he "successfully restrained" Shen Peng is also the reason why Shen Peng's own speed slowly decreased. For example, Shen Peng's speed was [-] at the beginning of the game.

From the audience's point of view, Shen Peng easily accelerated and broke through the two defenders of Manchester City!

After the breakthrough, Shen Peng took the ball unimpeded all the way to the penalty area. Facing Kompany and goalkeeper Ederson who had returned to the defense in a hurry, Shen Peng calmly kicked the ball and the ball rolled into the goal from Edson's left armpit.

Two to two!
This goal silenced the sidelines.

Mourinho didn't do much to celebrate, just clenched his fists and waved them up.

Guardiola also instantly understood Manchester United's tactics.

Obviously, this is Manchester United using Shen Peng's physical advantage to deceive Manchester City's defense.

Now that he understands it, he naturally has a way to deal with it—that is, to change people.

But if there is a substitution, he has to consider another question. Since Shen Peng has changed, does Aubameyang need to do this?

Although judging from previous performances, Aubameyang's physical fitness is not as good as Shen Peng's, but Manchester United's use of this trick is obviously planned for a long time. The trick that has been prepared for so long was cracked by a simple substitution.
And if Aubameyang also wants to change players, he will have to change two full-backs in a row. In this case, he will only have one card left to use, and the fighting in the midfield is very fierce, and now several of them have a decline in physical fitness.

So after careful weighing, Guardiola decided to only change Walker for the time being.

Walker has performed well this season, only two games in total without starting, so after replacing him now, he has to replace Danilo.

After the substitution, Shen Peng did not hide his physical fitness anymore, but used his speed and physical strength advantages to attack Manchester City's defense line frequently, making Manchester City's defense on the right a bit weak, and even the other De Bruyne, who had been marking him all the time, looked a little tired.

De Bruyne, Ederson, and Fernandinho are the only three Manchester City players who have started every game this season. His performance is also very good, but his position is against Shen Peng, so he didn't perform much in this game, but now he is almost exhausted by Shen Peng.
