Football: From becoming a god-level striker

"Tell me out loud, what color is the sky over Manchester??"

"Hey, how could there be such questions and controversies ten years ago? How could Manchester City fans have the courage to ask such questions??"

"What's wrong with Manchester United! Is it over if Ferguson retires?"

"The value of these players is not lower than before. After so many coaches, Mourinho can't do it?"

"Manchester United may not have a chance, and now they are only two goals behind!!"

"Fuck, I don't think this is a good word. It sounds like how far behind Manchester United can be?"

"Manchester United's first goal was reversed, which shows that Manchester United's offense is not bad, and they should still be able to score goals. Believe in Manchester United! The spirit of the Red Devils will last forever!!"

"Manchester United scored a goal in the opening game, we thought they would cause some trouble for Manchester City away, but... Manchester City quickly tied the score, overtook the score and expanded the score again.

But Manchester United is not without opportunities, what they need most is to adjust their mentality.

Throughout the first half, Manchester United's offense was still very bright. It is a pity that Manchester City quickly recovered their form after conceding a goal first. Their offensive firepower is too strong.

Once they get into their rhythm, not only Manchester United, but all other teams are very difficult to compete with.

Manchester United must play their own offensive rhythm.

The role of Ibrahimovic is very obvious. It is difficult for Manchester City to restrict him. Mourinho should think of ways to let him receive the ball. "Henry analyzed the situation of the two teams.

He never felt that Manchester United could win the game from the beginning.

After the opening goal, he was a little surprised, feeling that Manchester United seemed to be able to play a good game.

As a result, within 10 minutes, Manchester United showed its true colors.

Now, the game has moved in a direction that Manchester United cannot control.

Ibrahimovic, who kicked off in the middle circle, looked not very good-looking, and Pogba's choice made him very angry.

Long-range shooting is not a conventional means of scoring.

Had Pogba been able to get the ball to him in that position, the total should now be the same, but instead of three to one, it should be two to two.

This Pogba has not done enough, but has done more than fail.

When he turned his head, he was taught a lesson by a long-range shot.

Mourinho kept yelling to cheer up all the players, the game is not over yet.

Do a good job of defending, we can't let Manchester City score again!

Wait for the opportunity to cooperate and look for opportunities to score goals.

Otherwise, there will be another horrible massacre in Ittihad.

Zhao Gang, the title of butcher of Manchester United is about to be confirmed.

The game continued, Manchester United's players did not initiate an attack, they were stabilizing the rhythm.

Manchester City also seemed to have stopped attacking, and there was not much time left in the first half.

And Zhao Gang, as a midfielder, what is he doing at this time?

He bent his legs, pressed his thighs with his hands, and stood near the midline. If he didn't turn his head left and right, he would be like a scarecrow.

The defensive midfielder is the hub of defense and offense!

Be motionless on the pitch.

It doesn't matter if you don't defend, you are in the wrong position!

If it was another player, he would have been sprayed bloody by Guardiola by now.

Even if Guardiola can hold back, Otamendi's temper must be yelling.

But Otamendi didn't even look at Zhao Gang. He stood there, explaining that there was a reason.

what is the reason?

I am a central defender, how can I know what the offensive players think?

Just do your own thing well, and don't care about what you shouldn't manage yourself.

Time passed slowly, and the Manchester United players organized the attack. Seeing that the Manchester City players were not pressing, Zhao Gang did not move.

Their minds came alive and they began to move forward.

However, instead of advancing from the middle, it started to move forward from the two sideways.

The Manchester United players always felt that Zhao Gang was standing there, suffocating bad water in his heart, and didn't dare to rush in from the middle.

On the two sides, because De Bruyne is in the center and Sane is on the side, the defense on the left is more stable than before.

Sane's defensive attitude and ability are a notch higher than De Bruyne's.

On the right side there is Kyle Walker, a stable point, coupled with Fernandinho's sweep, Manchester City's defense is very solid.

Manchester United's several tentative attacks did not achieve good results.

Those fans who think that Manchester United and Manchester City can play back and forth, and even beat Manchester City, feel that they are really whimsical.

In addition to being caught off guard by Manchester City at the beginning, Manchester United seems to have no ability to fight back at all now.

Especially Lingard and Pogba are very hesitant to play now, as if their confidence has been beaten.

No spirituality.

Fortunately, Manchester United's defense has not had too many problems during this period, and Manchester City's offense has not posed too much threat.

drop! !

Clattenburg blew the whistle to end the first half.

Manchester United can take this opportunity to adjust their mentality.

In Manchester City's dressing room, the atmosphere is relatively relaxed.

After being kicked in by Manchester United in the opening game, the players were still a little nervous, thinking that it might be a difficult game, but the situation soon reversed.

Manchester United is still the same, and Zhao Gang's grasp of opportunities is still as strong as ever.

Manchester City's offense is very efficient now.

They are not limited to the control of football, they keep playing positional warfare, exhausting opponents by passing the ball, and then looking for opportunities.

Their counterattack ability is also the strongest in the Premier League.

This is due to the deadly passing ability of Zhao Gang and De Bruyne, and of course Zhao Gang's almost unsolvable ability to create opportunities.

From now on, this game is almost won.

As for Manchester United's dressing room, the atmosphere is not so good.

Mourinho was a little tired from shouting.

He is the most fearless opponent in his life.

Defeating a powerful enemy can best reflect one's own strength.

However, it doesn't matter if the opponent is strong, and his own players can't be too bad, right?

The defenses are like wooden men, leaking people everywhere.

How does this kick?

It has been reminded countless times and rehearsed countless times.

When I got to the field, I was completely confused.

Either hula and pounce on Zhao Gang, and clean up De Bruyne.

Either pounce on others with a huff, and let Zhao Gang open the door calmly.

Just play like this, it would be strange to win.

"Zhao is the key to Manchester City's offense. To prevent him, Manchester City will lose half of their offensive ability!" Ibrahimovic expressed his thoughts.

Pogba almost laughed out loud, you know?

I have no idea?

You go to defend him, I go to play center forward.

Look at your general grid, can you keep up with his speed.

You can't even see his exhaust, so you still guard against him?

Easier said than done.

Mourinho knows that Zhao Gang is difficult to be restrained. What can really prevent Manchester City from attacking is not the frontal defense of Zhao Gang, but the defensive awareness of Manchester United players.

Assist defense, make up defense.

Always keep Manchester United in the danger zone, with players defending in every position.

But Manchester United's current players simply cannot do this.

These players' defensive ability is not top-notch, let alone defensive intensity.

Manchester United didn't buy any of the defensive players he wanted.

"Attack, I need you to attack Manchester City's two wings, and the final end point is in the middle!"

Mourinho knows that it is impossible to improve the team's defense in a short time.

"Our only advantage is physical fitness. In the second half, we had to keep pressing when we had the opportunity, and we couldn't give them enough opportunities and time to organize the attack.

The players in the frontcourt must keep retreating to support, move, and keep moving!The entire Etihad stadium must see your shadow!

Let all Manchester City players just look up and want to pass the ball, and they will see you! "

Mourinho emphasized the defensive issue, and talked more about offense.

He is a master of defense, but now that he is two goals behind, he must emphasize offense and counterattack.

In the second half, Mourinho directly substituted Martial and Rashford.

Replaced Mkhitaryan and Rooney.

Rooney's physical condition is obviously unable to support the pressing tactics emphasized by Mourinho.

Compared with Martial, Mkhitaryan's impact is still a bit worse.

Although Martial's performance is not stable enough, his speed and impact are very strong.

Maybe it can bring unexpected surprises.

Martial and Rashford, flying on both wings, may be able to pose a very big threat to Manchester City's defense.

The fans at the Etihad Stadium burst into applause, and the second half of the game between the two sides officially started.

Manchester City possession.

After Zhao Gang received the ball, he immediately picked two goals to the left, looking for Sane.

After returning to the wing, Sane is in good form.

Grab a point and score a goal.

Zhao Gang very much hopes that the state and confidence of his teammates can be improved, so that the whole team can achieve better results.

Sane's breakthrough ability and explosive power are quite strong.

Since Zhao Gang passed the ball to him, he felt that this opportunity should not be wasted.

As soon as Sane received the ball, he was defended by Fellaini.

He didn't choose to pass the ball, he went directly along the wing, advancing quickly, trying to use his speed to get rid of it and then cut inward to the center.

Valencia made up the defense quickly, making it impossible for Sane to move forward, so he could only pass back to find De Bruyne who responded.

De Bruyne is not particularly good at organizing the midfield, and there is a gap between him and Gundogan.

So he was only used as a support point. After taking the ball, he saw that there was no chance, so he passed it to Fernandinho.

Rashford, who replaced him, was very active. He had a much better attitude than Martial, and he immediately participated in the team's defense as soon as he played.

Use your speed to start a quick press.

Cooperating with Lingard and Fellaini who stepped forward, their counter-robbery did cause some trouble to the Manchester City midfielder.

It made it impossible for the Manchester City midfielder to play smoothly and cooperate very smoothly.

In the opening ten minutes, Manchester United's rhythm has accelerated significantly.

And Manchester City was briefly suppressed like a spring.

Seeing this situation, Manchester United fans raised a lot of hope in their hearts.

Look at it like this, it's very dramatic!

Rashford has a future!

"attack!!"

"Yes, grab their ball!!"

"Don't be afraid! No matter how powerful Zhao is, he is a human being and not a god!! Come on, kick them down!!"

"Manchester United have never been afraid of any opponent!"

"Bring it back! Make the Manchester sky red!"

"Red Devils go!!"

"Come on!!!"

Manchester United fans in the away game yelled and cheered for their team.

And the other Manchester United players saw the effectiveness of these young people's fighting, and their spirits also rose.

During an attack by Manchester City, Pogba desperately followed Sterling's footsteps, cooperated with Luke Shaw, and snatched the ball with one kick!

Then he took two steps to the center, and then made a long pass from a long distance, and found Rashford, who was very active on the right!

This pass shows the super demeanor of Mr. Billion!

This kick directly gave Rashford the opportunity to face Clichy alone!

Clichy's physical fitness can't be compared with Rashford's, and his speed is even worse!

After Rashford started to speed up, he directly forcibly passed Clichy from the outside line and broke into the Manchester City penalty area.
