The two people looked at each other at the entrance of the player tunnel. In a heated battle like the Manchester Derby, the cameras of several reporters on the field were aimed at this side for the first time. After all, the scene where the coach of one side confronts the top star of the other side is not Can meet from time to time.

This confrontation was a bit inexplicable. Leo didn't know where he had provoked this world famous coach, so that the other party looked at him with a bit of anger.Guardiola didn't speak, so he didn't speak either, and stood patiently, waiting to see what the other party wanted to do.

The opponent's expression was very serious, and those who didn't know thought it was Manchester United who led 2-0 in the first half.Leo recalled the first half of the game a little bit, and made sure that he did not commit any serious fouls, nor did he provoke the opposing players, fans, or staff. Then, why did the opposing coach block him in the tunnel?

Guardiola didn't make him wait too long and said: "Your performance today is disappointing. This is not your level. You should go to the penalty area for that ball. Why didn't you keep up? You were thinking What, you missed an excellent chance to equalize the score, do you know that?"

""Are you still sober and know which team's head coach you are? It's not appropriate not to say something to the opponent's players.My dad has never scolded me like that, why are you like scolding your son.

Leo had a lot of complaints in his heart, but on the surface he looked like a primary school student being scolded, standing in place with his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and listened to the other party's reprimand.

After finishing speaking, Guardiola also showed a flash of annoyance on his face. As the head coach of Manchester City, he really shouldn't have said this to Manchester United players during the intermission.But he couldn't help it.

Since Leo became famous in his La Liga debut against Barcelona three years ago, he has been paying attention to Zidane's eldest son, watching him transform from a stunned young man who only relies on explosive power to a speedy man with amazing understanding. grow up.The Manchester Derby he was looking forward to should be the same as before, a close and tough battle, and the kid in front of him should be the one who caused them the biggest and most trouble.

However, the first half of the game did not go as he wished. Although Manchester United's entire team was torn apart on the field and could not see the slightest technical and tactical level, he didn't care about it. Leo's abnormal performance really made him sad.

Who wants to watch a good seedling break its branches before it really grows up, even though it is not his team member, he still hopes that the other party can fulfill their talents.

Seeing that he was silent, Leo raised his head, blinked his amber eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Have you finished training?"

Guardiola looked around and found that everyone around him was looking at him, including Mourinho with a livid face in the distance.He quietly took a small step to the side, no longer blocking Leo's path.

Unexpectedly, the person who was stopped by him was someone who was used to causing trouble, and when he passed by him, Leo added another sentence: "Why don't you continue training after the game?"

"" He really wanted to ask Zidane, how did this silly son come to be raised, he has received many honors in just half a year, but he still lives like a child.

Mourinho did not ask what Guardiola had said to him, nor did Leo take the initiative to mention it.

To be exact, the master and apprentice have rarely communicated recently. Mourinho is too busy dealing with the media, fans, and celebrities who criticize him.It is still necessary to rectify the morale of the army and regroup, and internal and external troubles are precarious. It is indeed difficult for Leo to attract his attention at this stage when he is so worry-free.

Leo is also very busy, busy falling in love, busy enjoying the huge traffic gained after the World Footballer and Golden Globe Awards, busy dealing with all kinds of overwhelming business activities, busy keeping silent in the middle of the storm, making anyone It is impossible to spy out half of his position.

The atmosphere in the Manchester United locker room was very strange. The suspicion and estrangement between the generals was almost directly on the table, but Leo sat there, and Pogba, who failed to start, could only swallow his resentment and dissatisfaction. Dare not utter a word.

The second half of the game started. I don't know if Guardiola's words really stimulated him. Leo's state finally improved.

After Mendy stole the ball from Rashford's feet, he didn't choose to play the ball at the first time, but took the ball to advance forward.Leo felt the provocation from the teammates of the national team, and he chased after him in three or two steps.

The tacit understanding between the two of them when they lost the ball when they were fighting in groups at Clairefontaine. They were too familiar with each other. Mendy felt that Leo was catching up from his left rear, and he decided to dribble the ball horizontally to get rid of it without even looking at it. .

Leo didn't give him a chance. Taking advantage of his agility, he forcibly turned back to the other side, and while the opponent was adjusting his dribbling posture, he stretched out his feet and intercepted the ball cleanly.

Mendy is not a vegetarian either. He turned around and wanted to fight back. Leo hadn't held the ball securely yet, so he bumped him slightly. The two were about the same height, but there was a [-]-pound difference in weight. Leo carried the ball. Unable to stop his collision, he staggered a step but still firmly protected the ball under his feet.

The two people have always been fighting each other, and the emotions of the fans on both sides of the stands were immediately aroused, and the shouts and drums flooded the entire Manchester City Stadium.

The two were at a stalemate, and teammates from both sides quickly came to support. David Silva and Mendy wanted to dribble the ball from Leo's feet. One was tall and strong, and the other was small and flexible. Leo was sandwiched between them. , was bullied by them to no avail.Staggering and dodging left and right, he almost lost the ball several times and then relied on his excellent physical coordination to protect the ball.

Leo is very patient. If he can't break through or pass the ball, he will try his best not to lose the ball. He knows Mendy too well, so he is not a master who can calm down.The flaw was quickly delivered to his feet by the other party himself.

Mendy stepped forward rashly, but left just enough space in front of Leo for him to break through. In just a few tenths of a second, the ball was first poked out by Leo. Through the gap between Erva and Mendy.

On the other side, Fernandinho's reaction was not unpleasant. He rushed towards the ball immediately, trying to grab the ball before Leo.On the other side, Herrera was chasing after him. Seeing that he was about to touch the ball, he squeezed it lightly, and Fernandinho just watched the ball fall two centimeters away from the toe of his shoe. The place was controlled by Leo, and he was so angry that he almost didn't turn his head and punched Herrera in the face.

Leo rushed to the penalty area with the ball, and he didn't forget to give him a thumbs up with his back turned to the coach.As long as he runs with long legs, no one can stop him, whether it is Bernardo Silva or Stones.

A series of outstanding performances made the blood of the Red Devils fans in the stands spurt. Although they fell behind 0 to 2, it is also a comfort to see Leo regain his form and kick out his momentum at his cousin's home court.

If the general situation is gone and there is no way to recover, it is better to die magnificently than to be slaughtered by others.

Besides, with nearly half an hour left in the second half, who can tell whether Leo will become Manchester United's key player again?

Martial and Rashford were also inspired by Leo's spirit of forcing a breakthrough in a difficult situation. The two rushed forward all the way to prepare to respond, but Leo's speed was too fast, and they were full of reaction when they started. Half a beat is really more than enough.

Leo faced Laporte one-on-one in the penalty area, and he suffered a lot from the French compatriot in the first half.I even secretly feel sorry for the opponent. With Deschamps' stubbornness and the two great gods Umtiti and Varane in the same position, it is not easy for Laporte to have a place in the national team.

In this confrontation, the two didn't even form a confrontation, and Leo relied on his own speed to eat the opponent raw.

The moment the two passed by, Laporte responded without hesitation. He turned around and dragged Leo away.

If not, Leo would face the goalkeeper directly. For a shooter with superb shooting skills and extraordinary ability to seize opportunities, the probability of scoring this goal is too high, and Laporte dare not take this risk.

Without any controversial penalty and yellow card, Leo stood directly in front of twelve yards holding the ball.

There was no suspense. The moment Edson saw Leo's run-up, he knew that the ball could not be saved by himself. He barely had time to react, and the ball flew into the net from his upper left with a strong wind Inside.

The score on the field was rewritten to 2 to 1. After 60 minutes of no fight back, Manchester United finally saw a glimmer of hope.

However, this little hope failed to germinate after all. The 2-1 score was maintained until the 86th minute of the game. Manchester City still firmly grasped the ball. Manchester United was in a very difficult situation. Continue to expand, even unable to organize an effective attack.

After Leo created a penalty kick by himself, he was taken care of by Manchester City. The basic principle is to never let him take the ball comfortably. Almost all tactical fouls were used on him alone, as many as four times. players are shown the yellow card for their confrontation.

Facts have proved that the price Manchester City pays is totally worth it. As long as Leo is restricted, it is tantamount to restricting the offense of the entire Manchester United. Apart from fighting for headers, they really have nothing to do on the offensive end.

In the 86th minute, Bernardo Silva passed a half-high ball to the front of Manchester United's penalty area. A major mistake in the defense caused the Red Devils to lose the ball again. The unmarked Gundogan inserted from behind and scored with his left foot.

The score was finally fixed at 3 to 1. In the first round of the Manchester Derby this season, Manchester United was almost helpless in the away game. It is foreseeable that the news related to Manchester United will be bloody in the next few days.

Leo walked off the stage silently. He violently tore off the jumper that fixed his wrist and held it tightly in his palm. Even though his heart was full of turbulent waves and storms, his face remained calm.

It is one thing to understand that "victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs", but it is another thing to accept it frankly.

What's more, apart from the fact that his strength and spirit were far from his opponent's, other factors that he couldn't say about this defeat also made it difficult for him to accept.

But this feeling of embarrassment was swallowed by himself in the end, no one mentioned it, and no one knew.

The author has something to say: Pogba: I want to do something.

Leo: No, you don't want to.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
