Greenery Reverses The Madness

As we enter March, spring blossoms.

As the captain of Manchester United, Ye Yifeng leads by example and is particularly focused and serious in training.

No matter how many injuries and injuries Manchester United experienced in the first half of the season, at this stage, they must have an unswervingly implemented plan in the general direction for the final sprint of the season.

Carrick showed something good at this time: stubbornness.

Top coaches all have this quality.

Although it may seem foolish for a rookie coach to insist on his own way, but looking at the top coaches' insistence on their own ideas and directions, they are almost rigid and stubborn.

Last season Manchester United dominated the world relying on offense.

Carrick has no reason to change this season.

At the same time, the performance of the defense in the Champions League knockout rounds also prevented him from making changes.

Even a spokesman for defensive philosophy like Mourinho ultimately failed to reverse the DNA of Manchester United.

Carrick believed that he did not have Mourinho's ability. At the same time, as an assistant coach, he also witnessed Mourinho's difficulties and ups and downs along the way.

It's not that we're looking for a comfortable path now, but Manchester United's obvious strength is offense.

Adhering to this concept, whether Manchester United is training to prepare for a game or mobilizing before a war, they will cheer in this direction.

On March 5, Manchester United visited the Etihad Stadium as a guest.

Before the game, Guardiola and Carrick did not confront each other, but they both showed extraordinary caution and attention to this game.

Even if it is not a battle for the top spot, it is definitely directly related to the championship.

Manchester United must win this game to tie Manchester City on points.

But Manchester City cannot simply expect to continue to suppress Manchester United by getting an unbeaten result.

Because there is still Liverpool!

If Manchester City cannot win, there is a high probability that they will relinquish their top spot.

Liverpool is sitting back and watching the fight between tigers and tigers this round!

As long as they win West Ham United, they will be able to reap the benefits.

Players from both teams came on stage, and the Etihad Stadium was buzzing with excitement!

Fans of the Red Devils and Blue Moon were cheering for their teams at the top of their lungs.

This is a derby that neither side can afford to lose!

Good afternoon, dear viewers, and welcome to watch the 28th round of the Premier League this season at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester.

The Manchester derby between Manchester City and Manchester United!

This is the pinnacle showdown between the league leaders and the defending champions.

Manchester United is only 3 points behind Manchester City. This gap can be said to have almost no obvious disadvantage until the civil war between the top three in the second half of the championship is over.

But if Manchester United cannot take away victory at the Etihad Stadium today, then Manchester United's title initiative will not be in their hands.

Manchester City will naturally expect to complete their revenge against Manchester United at home.

Manchester City's record against Manchester United in recent years has not been good, and a win is hard to come by!

This season, Manchester City has finally stopped the trend of small and steady decline in performance in the past three seasons, but it is not easy to say anything until the end of the league.

Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both teams.

Manchester City started 433.

Goalkeeper: Ederson.

Defenders: Walker, Dias, Laporte, Cancelo.

Midfielder: Bernardo Silva,

Rodri, De Bruyne.

Forwards: Ferran Torres, Grealish, Phil Foden.

Inadvertently, Manchester City seems to have completed the upgrading of the striker.

England's new star Phil Foden and Spain's new golden boy Ferran Torres.

Looking at Sterling, Jesus, and Mahrez sitting on the bench, it can be understood that Manchester City has a strong and strong lineup that is extremely enviable by all European giants, but it can also be interpreted as saying that when the times abandon you, you can’t even say hello. They don’t even know how to fight!

Guardiola has lost confidence in Sterling and the others.

Fleet Street once joked that there are only two players in the Premier League who can make Guardiola hold his head in pain, one is Manchester United captain Ye Yifeng, and the other is Sterling.

Manchester United also started 433 on the road today.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Dalot, Maguire, Varane, Luke Shaw.

Midfielder: McTominay, Pogba, Fred.

Forwards: Ronaldo, B Fei, Ye Yifeng.

Manchester United still has two superstars at the front, and there is no doubt about their offensive strength.

At the same time, Carrick started Dalot today and put Wan-Bissaka on the bench. It seems that he wants to maximize Manchester United's overall offensive capabilities.

There is no doubt that Dalot's offensive ability is stronger than Wan-Bissaka.

Just looking at the starting lineups of the two teams, there will definitely be a wonderful battle between dragons and tigers at the Etihad Stadium today!

On the front line, Manchester City's supernova faced off against Manchester United's superstar Lao Jianghu.

Haha, the game will start soon, let's wait and see.

Accompanied by the referee's whistle.

Manchester City took the lead to kick off. Amid the mighty cheers of the fans, Manchester City did not delay at all and directly kicked off the game!

De Bruyne took the lead in delivering cannonballs to Phil Foden in the left area of ​​the frontcourt. The Manchester City prince pretended to ride a bicycle in the left rib area of ​​the penalty area and then rushed towards the baseline. After taking advantage of the depth of the attack, he passed directly.

Maguire's blockade was slow, and it was clear at a glance that his rhythm entering the game was not as good as that of his opponents.

Manchester City has the advantage of playing at home, so they naturally have an advantage in attacking from the start.

When the football flew to the goal and Grealish shot it towards the goal, De Gea did not attack, relying entirely on his reaction in front of the goal line to fall to the ground and stretch his legs to block it.

The football happened to be blocked by him!

Astonishing skills!

De Gea, who resembles that god-level reaction, reappears in the world!

Manchester City fans let out a sigh of disappointment and almost climaxed at the kick-off!

Manchester United fans were on tenterhooks.

Manchester United's defense has improved this season, but it will still be unstable in top-level battles, or it will appear a bit weak when it is not in its best form.

Fortunately, Manchester United does not rely on defense to survive.

The Red Devils immediately launched a fast attack to retaliate.

When Luke Shaw received Ye Yifeng's back pass from the frontcourt, he dribbled inside to contain the defense and then sent a cross pass.

Pogba took the initiative to respond and sent a direct pass before Rodri blocked it.

Ye Yifeng cut inside to the left side of the penalty area and took the ball and retreated proactively. As soon as he took a step back to open the distance between him and Dias, he then easily picked up the ball and passed it diagonally into the right rib area of ​​the penalty area.

Ronaldo ran wildly and tried to head the ball in, but the football with strong internal spin flew past him.

Still a step too slow!

Seeing that he was the biggest threat and failed to change the trajectory of football.

Manchester City fans should breathe a sigh of relief.

But the reality is that everyone's eyes widened in horror the next second.

The football bounced in front of the small penalty area and then spun towards the far corner of the goal!

Fortunately, Edson didn't give up his focus at the first moment, and his temporary reaction was also top-notch. He made a hasty save and saved the ball beyond the baseline with the fingertips of his left hand!

Ye Yifeng's kick just now was both a pass and a shot!

Manchester City fans' hearts were in their throats instantly.

Ye Yifeng observed Manchester City's defense and found that their defense today was more targeted, but not conservative!

Manchester City is at home and naturally cannot be conservative if they want to win.

In other words, Guardiola has never used defensive counterattack tactics for a long time since Barcelona took off.

He will not change his technical and tactical style for a certain opponent.

This is the embodiment of the stubbornness of top coaches.

In the 6th minute of the game, Manchester City made a fast break in the frontcourt. Ferran Torres ran down the right to receive the ball and then passed the ball back.

Grealish took the initiative to respond and then kicked the ball to find B Silva who was advancing forward. The latter seemed to be about to break into the penalty area but stopped abruptly and chose to pass the ball diagonally back to find De Bruyne.

De Bruyne got rid of Mike Tome and cut inside to the penalty area to meet the ball and directly kicked the goal!

The football blasted with his right foot flew straight to the upper right corner of the goal like a cannonball!

De Gea's save was useless!

What a great fight indeed!

The ball went in! De Bruyne scored from a long shot!

Manchester City takes the lead at home!

Today, Manchester City played faster and more fluidly in the frontcourt, and the team coordination was astonishing.

If we say that Manchester City is the best team in the Premier League in terms of teamwork, I believe no one will refute it.

They have been lacking stable and strong attackers in the past few years. Sterling looked at the data and found that some seasons did perform well, but they performed abnormally at critical moments. A series of empty goals ruined Manchester City's efforts throughout the season.

This is also the reason why Guardiola has accelerated the upgrading of Manchester City's forward line.

But today it was De Bruyne who stood up first!

Manchester City leads defending champion Manchester United 1:0 at home!

Blue Moon fans celebrated wildly.

Although it’s not a climax from the very beginning, it’s definitely a climax from the very beginning!

Guardiola's performance was the same as Simeone's. Not only did he not have the ecstasy and excitement after scoring, he didn't even dare to smile.

If this ball had appeared during the winning time period, he would have been so excited that he would have been carried away.

But this goal came too early, which is not bad, but the more time, the greater the variables!

De Bruyne raised his fists and roared in celebration. He had not won an important championship for three consecutive years, which was an unbearable limit for him!

After all, I am already over thirty.

The peak season is to play one year and one year less.

The Manchester United generals were under great pressure after conceding the goal.

Ye Yifeng clapped his hands to boost the morale of his teammates.

It only takes a few minutes of the match, even with just the eyes, you can see that Manchester City are in good form today.

Manchester United must get into shape as soon as possible and threaten.

Do they have a problem?

not necessarily.

All I can say is that the defense is just as strong as it is.

How is the offense? This game has just started.

Carrick seemed a little irritable about the Lightning losing the ball.

He glared at the two defensive midfielders Mike Tominat and Fred who started today!

What's the point of having them if they don't work?

Technically, Manchester City cannot be defended.

Wouldn't it be a foul?

Don't you need him to teach you?

Have you forgotten all about the Mourinho era?

McTominay and Fred looked solemn, gritting their teeth and feeling fierce in their hearts.

The situation forced them to come up with some defensive effects.

We cannot allow Manchester City to pass the ball back and forth unscrupulously in the frontcourt and treat them like fools!
