Chapter 477 The Winning Streak Ends
Chapter 57 Streak Ended

Pellegrini's face became even uglier.

No matter who it is, facing such a situation, their complexion will not be any better.

Manchester City's performance in this game is not bad. They once led by two goals, and even after being equalized by the opponent, they soon scored another goal and exceeded the score again. The opponent even became a midfielder because of this.

Manchester City led by one goal, and it was still eleven against ten, almost occupying an absolute advantage.

But Manchester United made a counterattack and Kompany was sent off with a red card, and then Li Qingshan scored again with a kick.

Three to three!
This game is really full of twists and turns.

After the excitement, Ancelotti quickly calmed down.

Speaking of it, it was just an equalizer, and now the two sides have also formed a balance in terms of numbers.

Both teams have ten players left on the field!
In football, the fewer the number of people, the more space there is, and the easier it is to attack.

For example, when counterattacking, three-on-three, four-on-four, or three-on-five, four-on-five, etc., the possibility of scoring is quite high.

Now there is one less player on both sides of the court, so the space on the court is relatively larger.

Because when there are fewer people on the court, the court will not become smaller, so the space for passing the ball will naturally be much larger.

Therefore, Ancelotti danced on the sidelines, indicating that Manchester United's players on the field continued to attack, exerting more offensive pressure on the opponent.

Pellegrini played the same attention.

At this point in the game, a draw is meaningless to both sides.The two coaches seemed to agree on the sidelines—their gestures were almost identical.

Both teams are looking to attack more aggressively, hoping to take the lead.

Before kick-off, Manchester City completed the substitution first.

Demichelis, who hastily warmed up, came on and replaced Sterling.

Sterling was a little bit unwilling when he left the field. He felt that he performed well in this game. Kompany made a mistake, so why should he pay for it.And why change him, there are three other offensive players in front.

But fortunately, Sterling didn't show it directly, but his exit speed was a bit slow.

There were boos in the stands. Manchester United fans thought he was deliberately delaying the game time, but they didn't know that he was upset that he was replaced early.
When the game resumed, Manchester City quickly created a threat.

No.703 minutes, Manchester City started to organize the attack from the backcourt,
Yaya Toure dribbled the ball forward to the center line. When encountering Rooney's blocking, he pulled Silva to the side and made a wall-hitting cooperation, breaking through Rooney's defense.

After Sterling was replaced, Manchester City adjusted the formation to 441, with Aguero at the top, and Silva and De Bruyne behind him.

After breaking through Rooney's interception, Yaya Toure passed the ball straight to the ribs and found De Bruyne.

De Bruyne's stop was very beautiful. He stopped and dribbled past Herrera's entanglement and entered the penalty area.

Manchester United immediately faced a formidable enemy, and De Bruyne's performance in this game made Manchester United's players absolutely impressed by him.

De Bruyne was not in a hurry to pass the ball, or force a shot.After he brought the ball into the penalty area, he stopped suddenly. He didn't move, and Manchester United's defensive players didn't dare to make any moves-if there was a foul here, it would be a direct penalty!

Rojo and Herrera blocked De Bruyne's front. Behind De Bruyne, Sandro also rushed over, ready to step forward to intercept the ball after the encirclement was completed.

Of course, De Bruyne would not wait for Manchester United to surround him before stealing the ball. Since he attracted the defensive attention of several Manchester United players, other Manchester City players had more space.

Aguero ran diagonally, De Bruyne took the opportunity to jump the ball between Rojo and Herrera, and rolled into the gap in the middle of the penalty area.

Aguero accelerates to receive the ball, and then takes a ride.

Hummels seemed a bit struggling to defend Aguero's sudden advance. Aguero's flexibility and explosive power made Hummels always half a beat behind.

And it was this half shot that allowed Aguero to complete the shot!

After Aguero took a step, Hummels didn't dare to foul Aguero in the penalty area. He could only quickly step forward to block, but he was still half a step slow after all.

The weight of Aguero's trip is very reasonable. His trip just gives him the angle and space to shoot.

He pushed with his right ankle and hit a shot from an opposite angle.

De Gea reacted very sensitively, he jumped and blocked Aguero's shot.

The football just landed at the feet of the full-back Valencia on the other side. Valencia quickly passed the football to the front, and he was relieved.

De Gea is as reassuring as ever!
"De Gea made a brave save and kept the goal clean!"

After finishing the shot, Aguero also seemed very helpless. The quality of his shot was good enough, but he still didn't break through De Gea's ten fingers.

If this game does not lose De Gea's brave performance, Manchester City may even have a chance to score five or six goals.

Manchester City played at a super level in this game, but they had no choice but to encounter a goalkeeper who opened up.

Before the arrival of Li Qingshan, the fans even joked that Manchester United, the biggest club in England, was the only world-class player in their playing years, and at one time only De Gea was left to support the front.

Manchester City's offense is threatening, and Manchester United's offense is not weak at all.

Wayne Rooney shot from outside the penalty area suddenly, the football went over the defender's head and went straight to the goal. This time, Joe Hart did not become the background board. .
A save not inferior to De Gea!

Rooney, whose shot was saved, had no time to regret, and he immediately ran to the corner flag area to take a corner kick.

Li Qingshan grabbed a point in the penalty area and shook his head to attack the goal. The football hit the side net, making the fans almost think it was a goal.

Then both teams began to deploy troops.

The two coaches chose to make adjustments on the offensive line at the same time. It seems that neither of the two sides will think about defensive counterattacks in this game.

The counterattack must continue!
Ancelotti chose to send the teenager Rashford to play, replacing Herrera!Ancelotti is going to launch the last wave of strong attack!

The camera immediately focused on Hernandez in the stands.

There have been a lot of transfer rumors surrounding Hernandez recently, and the Mexican didn't get many chances to play this season.

Little Pea Hernandez's face was a little gloomy. When such a head coach needs to strengthen his offense, he actually chose to send a young player from youth training, and no one let him play.It seems that he needs to think about his future in the team.

Rashford came on and replaced Herrera, and Manchester United continued to strengthen their offense.

Manchester City did not show any weakness. The striker Boni from Côte d'Ivoire came on and replaced the full-back Kolarov.

Pellegrini adjusted the formation to a three-back formation, Boni played and Aguero formed a double forward!

The two sides compete against each other! !
No.801 minutes, Manchester United launched an attack directly through a long pass. Rooney's long pass accurately found the top of Li Qingshan's head. Li Qingshan swung the ball to the young player Rashford.

Rashford's explosive power is quite good. He didn't stop the ball and passed the ball directly to Yaya Toure. Then he made a pass through the crotch when facing Demichelis, and then passed the ball on the left side of the penalty area. With a side kick, the ball goes just wide of the far post.

Although the goal was missed, it still won the applause of the fans at the scene.

The veteran Demichelis can't keep up with the young Rashford in terms of reaction speed.

At the end of the game, the offensive momentum of the two sides became more violent. Both teams seemed to have completely lost their midfielders, and the football saw-saw back and forth between the two penalty areas.

No.807 minutes, De Bruyne dribbled the ball all the way to the bottom line and made a cross. Aguero rubbed towards the goal from the front point. The football was shot by De Gea with a single palm and fell to Boni's feet. Ni didn't have time to adjust and shot directly, but it was a pity that he flew high over the crossbar.

The ball boy quickly threw the ball in, and De Gea passed it directly into Manchester City's penalty area.

After Li Qingshan stopped the ball, he decided to come by himself. Even Kompany couldn't handle Li Qingshan, let alone Otamendi.Li Qingshan turned around with the ball behind his back and shot.

The football bounced off Joe Hart, and Demichelis made a hasty clearance. Fortunately, the football did not fly towards their goal, but flew out of the baseline.

Manchester United corner.

Rooney's corner kick was a bit low and did not cross the front point, and was cleared by Manchester City's players at the front point.

However, the perimeter is still controlled by Manchester United. After the full-back took the ball down, he also kicked himself. The football hit the defensive player and crossed the baseline.

Manchester United continue to serve corner kicks!
The continuous corner kick attack put a lot of pressure on Manchester City's defense.

Now that the 10 minutes of the game's regular time have almost passed, the fourth official held up the stoppage time sign on the sidelines.

Injury time for this game - 6 minutes! !
This time Rooney's corner kick went past the front point, Li Qingshan leaped high in the middle, overwhelming the defender and shaking his head to attack the goal!
The Manchester United fans behind the goal were already about to stand up and celebrate the goal, but unfortunately the football hit the crossbar hard and bounced off the baseline! !

The stoppage time was long enough, but even though both sides were very aggressive in attacking, they failed to continue to score goals.

The final score was three to three, and the two sides ended in a tie!

When the referee Clattenburg blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Old Trafford fans sighed in unison.

Manchester United's winning streak was ended.The first leg of the Manchester derby this season ended in a draw.

Ordinarily speaking, it is not that Manchester United cannot accept a draw. If they are counted as falling behind by two goals from the beginning, they should be grateful.

However, the end of the winning streak is not a happy thing after all. Just look at the expressions on the faces of the Manchester United players. Although they are not depressed, there are not many happy smiles.

"The game is over! The game is over! Three to three!! Manchester's two teams have reached a tie!!"

"Perhaps the greater significance of this game is that the draw at least guarantees some suspense in the Premier League. Manchester United did not go away. Their winning streak was ended. Although they did not lose, Manchester City still maintained their rivalry. Manchester United's pressure, although the gap of six points is not small, but compared with nine points behind, six points is at least a gap that can make people have the courage to catch up, isn't it?!"

As soon as the game was over, the camera was on Li Qingshan.

This is the treatment of the best player on the spot. Although the team scored three goals, but the team failed to win, Li Qingshan was still unhappy in his heart, which can also be seen from the expression on his face.

After a brief interview with the reporter, Li Qingshan walked into the player tunnel with a blank expression, carrying his champagne.

This night, in the whole of England, except for the Manchester people, the English people in other regions are probably in a very good mood.

As the top two teams in the standings, especially Manchester United, which has been winning consecutively, the pressure on other teams aspiring to compete for the championship is too great.

A draw for the top two teams in the standings is probably the most desired result for other teams.

After this game, Manchester United had nine wins and one tie, ranking first in the standings with 28 points.

Manchester City scored 22 points, ranking second in the league.

Two dogs fight, play off.The happiest fans of the night must be in London. Arsenal Arsenal defeated Everton 22-3 at home, and their points also climbed to [-] points, ranking No.[-] in the league only with a goal difference disadvantage.

If you put aside the explosive scoring efficiency of Manchester United this season, Arsenal, who have seven wins and one tie, have started this season quite well. However, for Arsenal, their real test is in the middle of the league, starting from the Christmas Express. Until February of next year.In the past few seasons, Arsenal's start was often very good, but when the schedule was intensive, Arsenal began to fall out of the top four, and then at the end of the season, the madness of the top four began to explode all the way, and in the end they were often able to get a top four. Four Champions League places.

West Ham United and Leicester City rank fourth and fifth in the league with [-] points.

West Ham United and Leicester City are still at the top of the standings after ten rounds, which has to be said to be beyond the expectations of many people.

Especially Leicester City, Ranieri's team was struggling to avoid relegation last year. After only ten rounds this season, they are very close to success in relegation.

Leicester City beat Crystal Palace [-]-[-] at home this round.Ranieri was not too high-profile in the interview after the game. He still said very calmly: "Now we are [-] points away from relegation! We will not relax because of this."

Theoretically speaking, 38 points is a safe relegation score. According to Leicester City's current scoring efficiency, they can successfully relegation in the No. 19 league round.
