Football irons are burning

Chapter 381 Who will stop Manchester United?

The Manchester Derby in the 12th round is also a good opportunity to test Manchester United. This level is also very important if they want to win the championship. Manchester City is very strong. This season, they have also strengthened their lineup.

At the goalkeeper position, they introduced Hildebrand for 4000 million pounds, which greatly strengthened their defensive strength.

The strikers, Tony and Qu Bo, are also in a very hot state. With Kaka's superstar performance in the midfield, Manchester City's strength is now no worse than Manchester United.

Who will win the game will not be known until the end of the game.

Match day is approaching and players from both sides step onto the field.

The atmosphere at the scene is still very hot, as it is in every derby.

After the Middle East consortium took over, Manchester City has not won a championship, which also puts a lot of pressure on Ancelotti.

If there is no championship this season, Ancelotti will definitely leave.

After the game started, Manchester City took the initiative to attack.

In the 3rd minute, Kaka tested Howard with a long shot.

However, the ball was a little too high and missed the goal.

Three minutes later, Kaka still sent an exquisite pass from the front of the penalty area. Qu Bo got the ball from the side and used his speed to force it in. His advantage is speed.

And his dribbling is also dazzling. After several seasons of training, he has integrated Di Maria's characteristics very well.

Facing Heinze's supplementary defense, Qu Bo hit the penalty spot with one kick, and Kaka threw off Park Sanfei with a burst shot, and the ball went straight into the lower right corner.

0: 1!

Manchester City took the lead.

Manchester City fans celebrated wildly, and Kaka also glided gracefully, his handsome face made most of the female fans at the scene deeply involved.

However, Manchester United is not panic. Since the start of this season, the team's self-confidence is very strong.

Even if they fall behind by one goal now, the players still firmly believe that they can get back.

Sure enough, 5 minutes later, Li Tie took the ball in the middle and leaned against the opponent's player and suddenly hit it horizontally. Luo Teng made a precise through pass to penetrate the opponent's defense.

Rossi swept the ball straight to the goal, and Rooney easily ejected and scored, 1:1!

Rooney also excitedly rushed to the sidelines and jumped into the air, then waved his fists fiercely.

This cooperation is indeed smooth and smooth, and Rooney's last blow is also very beautiful.

This 19-year-old teenager has grown up and will become the top scorer of the England national team in the future.

Before the end of halftime, Li Tie took the ball in the middle and suddenly sent a through pass. Rossi dunked in the penalty area, and then raised his foot to shoot.

The ball went straight to the dead corner.

2: 1!

Hildebrand also had nothing to do. Manchester United's two goals were clean and neat, with tricky angles.

He also tried his best, but unfortunately, he still couldn't prevent the opponent's shot.

In fact, Hildebrand was still guarding against Li Tie's long shot, so he was a little distracted.

In the second half of the game, Manchester United continued to implement the offensive and defensive strategy of the first half.

In the 60th minute, Kaka dribbled the ball and was touched by Fletcher, and then Fletcher stabbed Li Tie.

Li Tie took the ball and made a Marseille roundabout, and then made Lampard live a clean life.

His technical movements don't seem particularly clever, but the effect is very good. In addition, he has a good body and strong confrontation ability, which is very effective in passing people.

Turning around, holding the ball, Li Tie kicked it out.

Hildebrand stretched out his hand and reached for it. Although the ball changed direction, it still went straight into the goal.

3: 1!

Old Trafford continued to cheer, Li Tie's shot was very powerful, and the speed definitely exceeded 200 yards per hour.

It was a frightening shot, and Hildebrand didn't get up for a long time because he was injured.

The Manchester City team doctor came up to see that Hildebrand had broken his finger and had to go down.

This is really losing my wife and losing my army.

Hildebrand thought he could make a save, but unfortunately, he ignored the power of Li Tie's shot.

No, I hurt myself too.

Li Tie also came over to apologize to Hildebrand.

"It's okay, it's my own fault." Hildebrand also said with a smile.

Li Tie patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then take care of your injuries."

Hildebrand's injury, on the contrary, stimulated the Manchester City players.

After the game restarted, Kaka took the ball and sent an overhead ball.

Tony headed back directly and continued to advance.

Kaka hit the ball at his feet again and stuffed it straight out.

This time, Heinze miscalculated.

This sudden change made him a little behind.

Tony came out of the gap, shot a strong shot from the top of the penalty area, and the ball went straight into the lower left corner of the goal.

3:2, Manchester City quickly pulled back a goal.

Qu Bo picked up the ball and ran to the midfield quickly. The Manchester City fans seemed to see hope, and one by one started yelling and cheering for the team.

The goal was really exciting, and Manchester City played very well with their cooperation.

However, Manchester United also began to pay attention at this moment. After the re-kick-off, Manchester United began to pour the ball back and forth in the backcourt.

Li Tie also retreated to the midfield, frequently using him to adjust the two sides and stabilize the situation.

This is to destroy the opponent's rhythm and prevent the opponent from getting up.

Naturally, the Manchester City players will come up to press crazily, but in exchange, they do commit frequent fouls.

Li Tie alone has been brought down many times by the opponent.

Kakadu received a yellow card in the 77th minute. He was also in a hurry and dragged Li Tie down behind him.

Qu Bo kicked Bridge in the 80th minute and also received a yellow card.

In this way, Manchester City players are undoubtedly more impatient.

Ancelotti also made frequent substitutions on the sidelines, but still failed to form a good breakthrough.

As time passed, the situation became more and more favorable to Manchester United.

At this time, Manchester United was not in a hurry to attack, and continued to use the control of the midfield to mobilize the running of the opponent's players.

Strong midfield control makes it impossible for the opponent to form an effective counterattack.

This kind of Manchester United can attack if it wants to attack, and can defend if it wants to defend. It is indeed impeccable.

When the final whistle sounded, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 3:2, won the derby and also started the season with 12 consecutive victories.

After the game, Manchester City coach Ancelotti expressed satisfaction with the team's performance, but also believed that Manchester United did play more in control.

"Yes, their offensive power is very strong, and their defense is also very solid. When Li Tie returns to the midfield to participate in the defense, it is difficult for other teams to attack their goals. Therefore, if they want to beat Manchester United, they must not let them score. Unfortunately, we still did not do it."

Ancelotti was convinced by the defeat.

He also stood up half-jokingly, walked behind Li Tie and patted him on the shoulder, then leaned in front of the microphone and said, "If he were my captain, I think the result would be completely reversed. When you face such a king of the ball, it is difficult for you to retreat completely."

Li Tie also smiled.

Keane said: "If you want to take away our Manchester United captain, this is not possible. Tens of millions of Manchester United fans around the world will definitely not agree."

After a pause, Keane continued: "For this game, I am very happy to win the derby. We played a good game. Li Tie's goal was very exciting. He is very good at doing this. He knows how we should win the game."

After winning Manchester City, Manchester United's lead also expanded to 9 points.

Only 12 rounds have passed, the question now is, who will stop Manchester United from advancing?God might, but right now God is visiting Manchester United.

In the last round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, Manchester United defeated Lyon by 1 goal in the away game. They won all 6 games in the group stage and qualified with their heads held high.

All 16 rounds are also produced.

In Group A, Manchester City is first, Deportivo is second, and last runner-up Monaco can only play in the UEFA Cup.

It seems that a dark horse can only be dark once, and Monaco had better luck last season.

In addition, during the summer, they were dug up quite badly, and several walls were knocked down, so they could no longer continue to perform their true colors as dark horses.

In Group B, Real Madrid is first, Leverkusen is second, and Rome can only be ranked third by one step.

The Roma team has undoubtedly confirmed their status as a pseudo-strong team again. Their lineup is actually not bad, but unfortunately, they still haven't been able to go further.

Roma striker Batistuta announced his retirement after the game. It seems that God of War feels that there is no need to continue his career.

This is the end of a generation of shooters.

In Group C, Bayern and Juventus rank first and second respectively, and there is no suspense about this.

The rise of Juventus is also very fast. It seems that the impact of the Calciopoli incident on him is only two seasons.

Group D Manchester United and Fenerbahce qualify.

Stuttgart and PSV in Group E, Barcelona and Inter Milan in Group F, AC Milan and Valencia in Group G, Arsenal were eliminated, and Chelsea and Porto in Group H entered the next round.

The draw ceremony for the round of 16 was held subsequently, and Li Tie also attended again.

Of course, he is still the same star, whether it is a player, a coach, or a UEFA official, they all have great enthusiasm and respect for Li Tie.

This is football. When you conquer Deportivo and conquer everyone, your status must be very high.

As a result of the lottery, Manchester United was lucky this time and got Porto.

This is the defeat of his subordinates. Porto wants revenge, but I'm afraid it will not be so easy.

The round of 16 matches are as follows:
Top half: Manchester United vs Porto, Barcelona vs PSV, AC Milan vs Inter, Valencia vs Stuttgart;

Bottom half: Bayern vs Leverkusen, Real Madrid vs Deportivo, Manchester City vs Juventus, Chelsea vs Fenerbahce.
