This teenager is a bit aggressive

Chapter 269 Head Coach's Gesture
Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City fans have been eagerly waiting for the start of the game. They want to see how the Manchester City team, which has achieved initial success in team building, beat its arch-enemy Manchester United.

Manchester City and Manchester United are teams from the same city, and both teams are veteran teams in the Premier League. However, the honors Manchester City has won are incomparable to Manchester United.

Moreover, Manchester City's winning percentage against Manchester United is relatively low, which has caused Manchester City fans to always look up, because Manchester United fans always say that Manchester City is not as good as Manchester United.

This is a fact and they cannot refute it.

Therefore, it is no longer a day or two for fans to look forward to Manchester City's ability to defeat their rival Manchester United.

Today's Manchester City team has introduced many stars, which makes fans feel that the era of Manchester City is coming.

Today's Etihad Stadium was full of seats, all fans put on Manchester City's home jersey, waved the Manchester City team flag in their hands, and cheered.

In Park's eyes, the fans of Manchester City don't seem to be that crazy, unlike the fans of other clubs who do a lot of crazy things and always watch the game gradually. Only when Manchester City scores a goal will the fans come from the stadium Enthusiastic cheers.

However, today's Etihad Stadium is not what it used to be. When the two teams stepped into the Etihad Stadium, Park Yisheng found that the fans at the Etihad Stadium were no longer as quiet as before.

All the fans were standing, no one was sitting in their seats, holding the Manchester City team logo in their hands and singing the Manchester City team anthem.

Park Yiyi understood that the strength of the current Manchester City team has been able to compete with the Manchester United team, and the backs of the fans have naturally hardened.

The starting players of the two teams are displayed on the big screen:

Manchester City (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: Given

Defenders: Richards, Dunn, Toure, Bridge
Midfielders: Robinho, Ireland, Barry, Phillips

Forwards: Tevez, Adebayor

Manchester United:
(4 - 5 - 1)

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar
Defenders: Evra, Ferdinand, David Shevchenko, Gary Neville
Midfielders: Giggs, Carrick, Scholes, Hargreaves, Park

Forward: Rooney

Carlos Tevez hugged every Manchester United player as the two teams shook hands.

After Tevez came to Manchester City, he scored goals in every game. It can be seen that he has a very good life in Manchester City.

He is also very fortunate that this is a game held at Manchester City's home court, otherwise, he does not know how to face Manchester United fans.

Could the love United fans once had for him turn to hate?
With the whistle of the referee, the 24th round of the Premier League, the city derby battle officially started.

Manchester City kick-off from midfield.

Tevez handed the ball to Toure's feet, and Manchester City began to attack from the backcourt. Toure is the mainstay of Manchester City's defense and the engine of Manchester City's attack in the backcourt.

Toure passed the ball to Robinho on the right with a precise long pass.

Robinho singled out Giggs with the ball, only to see him stepping on a bicycle in a dazzled meal and then cutting inside and walking in the middle.

Giggs doesn't follow Robinho's tricks at all. If the enemy can't move, I can't move. You can ride the bicycle, but I just won't grab it.

Robinho knew that it was impossible for him to deceive Giggs' defense and go to the side, so he could only cut inside and go to the center.

Carrick defended up, and Robinho could only pass the ball laterally to Ireland's feet.

Ireland continued to transition the ball to Phillips on the left.

Phillips dribbled the ball to break through from the side, but Park Yisheng scooped the ball out of the sideline.

Ferguson could see Manchester City's tactics at a glance. On the surface, Manchester City played wing attack tactics.

In fact, this must be a feint from the side and the main attack from the center.

Ferguson has been in the Premier League for more than 20 years. If he doesn't have this vision, his head coach for these years will be in vain.

Ferguson stood up, walked to the sidelines and made a simple gesture to the Manchester United players, and the Manchester United players knew what Ferguson meant.

A football game is not like a basketball game. The head coach cannot call a timeout. Except for halftime, the head coach does not have any time to deploy tactics and other things.

So, what should the head coach do if he wants to temporarily change his tactics?

Only through gestures.

With a gesture from the head coach, the players on the field know the head coach's tactical intentions.

If there are some small tactical intentions other than the conventional tactics, the head coach will often convey to every player on the field through the player closest to him on the wing.

Ferguson's gesture, in addition to the Manchester United players, there is another person on the field who knows the meaning of this gesture.

This person is Carlos Tevez, so he secretly told the players of the Manchester City team that Ferguson's gesture meant:

Watch out for penetration in the middle.

Sure enough, after 3 minutes, the Manchester City team changed their style of play. Now that the tactic of infiltrating the middle was seen through, it would be meaningless to play such a tactic again.

In the 5th minute of the game, Manchester United's offense made a pass error. Carrick's oblique pass to Park Yisheng was intercepted by Manchester City's Barry.

After Barry stole the ball, he took a look at Manchester City's forward line, and Adebayor was at the forefront.

At this time, Robinho from the wing was asking for the ball, but instead of passing the ball to Robinho, Barry passed the ball to the striker with a big long pass.

Ferdinand and Adebayor competed for the header. Adebayor was superior and grabbed the first spot of the ball. The header hit back to Tevez who was in a late position.

Carlos Tevez did not stop the ball, nor did he volley, but lightly hugged the ball with a kick.

The ball slid across a beautiful arc and flew to the upper right corner of the goal. Van der Sar flew to save it, but unfortunately, he failed to catch the ball.

Shooting is an art, and sometimes four or two shots can often achieve unexpected results.

The angle of the ball was so tricky that it almost flew into the goal against the post, and Van der Sar was helpless.

1:0
Manchester City took the lead at home. It was a wonderful start. The Etihad Stadium was boiling, the fans waved their flags and sang the Manchester City team anthem again.

Tevez scored such a beautiful goal against his old club for the first time, which is too disrespectful to Ferguson!

After the goal, Carlos Tevez did not celebrate, and his old club should respect it.

Carlos Tevez knows that Manchester City will be a guest at Old Trafford sooner or later. If he celebrates his goal wildly now, he will definitely be booed by Manchester United fans when he arrives at Old Trafford.

Ferguson is also a person with a different brain circuit than others. At this time, what he thinks is not that Manchester United is behind, but he is thinking, why did Tevez not perform like this when he was in Manchester United?

　Ask for a ticket!
