The Greatest Performer on the Football Field

The fans in the Stretford stands are the gathering place for die-hard Manchester United fans and are also the stands with the loudest cheers in the entire stadium.

The singing here never stops, even when Manchester United trailed 0-1 in the first half.

Under the stands were the coaching benches and benches of both teams. Guardiola frowned and watched the situation on the field nervously. De Bruyne insisted that he could not live up to his expectations. Vidal's substitute appearance had also been arranged, but he Unexpectedly, Sun Wu would change his formation.

At the beginning of this game, Manchester City played a 4141 formation. Afterwards, De Bruyne retreated and changed to a 4231 formation. Vidal came on to continue this formation.

This formation is what Manchester City is best at, and it is also the formation that best displays Guardiola's insistence on passing and controlling tactics, but now, Manchester City is very passive.

After leveling the score 1-1, Sun Wu directed the team to press high up the pitch. In addition to Kante guarding the center, the two wings of Pavard and Luke Shaw pressed forward with great force, and even the left and right central defenders Lucas and Al De Weireld was also pressing forward, which made it almost impossible for Manchester City's midfielder to organize an effective attack.

In the 62nd minute, Kompany made a big clearance in the backcourt, and Van Dijk easily beat Aguero to head the ball to Kante.

Kanter did not pass to Sun Wu who was followed by Vidal, but instead passed to Alderweireld.

Like Lucas, Alderweireld moved forward nearly fifteen meters without any obstruction, and when Fernandinho filled in, he distributed the ball to Bernardo Silva.

Alderweireld...Seat B...cut inside...Best!

Nice kick!

Pavard goes in... cross!

Precede Falcao... oh, Griezmann!

Goooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!

Griezmann reversed the score for Manchester United. In just ten minutes, Manchester United won two games in a row!

This is Griezmann's ninth league goal this season. Although he only ranks third in the team, his 15 goals in all competitions are still Manchester United's top scorer.

Sun Wu was very satisfied with the process of scoring this goal. He accurately found the weakness of Manchester City's formation, cleverly coordinated, exquisitely blocked the ball, and finally passed the ball and shot, all in one go.

Griezmann, who was sliding to his knees, was thrown to the lawn by Falcao and Luke Shaw. Excited roars erupted from the stands close to the field. Being able to defeat Manchester City, which had won 18 consecutive games, was a surprise to Manchester United fans. , worthy of pride, worthy of excitement.

And Sun Wu has set his sights on Guardiola... He has fallen behind. What countermeasures will you come up with?

Classic teamwork to score goals, but surprisingly, this scoring pattern should appear more in Manchester City. Zhan Jun said with a smile: But today Manchester United did it instead. Guardiola should think of something different.

Both goals were aimed at Manchester City's ribs. Zhang Lu saw the key. Alderweireld's forward thrust was aimed at Manchester City's right ribs. Fernandinho had already Cautious enough, Baines and Laporta surrounded Bernardo Silva, but they didn't expect the Portuguese... to catch up!

In the replay footage, when Laporta pressed forward and Baynes moved in, Bernardo Silva who received the ball cleverly stepped on the ball with his left foot, and the ball was passed back to Sun Wu.

Although Vidal pressed hard, Sun Wu, who had the initiative, touched the ball first. He didn't stop the ball and directly sent a diagonal pass.

Pavard passed behind Baines and inserted into the penalty area at high speed to cross.

There were only Kompany and Walker in the small penalty area. Falcao covered at the front point, and Griezmann from the back point easily pushed and scored.

The Manchester City players also knew that the opponent was targeting the ribs, but unfortunately the opponent had a numerical advantage. Not only did they not steal the ball, but after Laporta was drawn out, Manchester United also played a classic cooperation. It can't be said that they were unlucky when conceding the ball.

Manchester City is finally going to make substitutions. Mortensen found Douglas Costa standing on the sidelines. Guardiola is making adjustments to the offense?

Sun Wu was also surprised. Who will Douglas Costa replace?

Replace No. 10 Aguero. Zhan Jun looked at the substitution card in surprise, After Tevez left the team, Guardiola currently only has Aguero and Iheanacho at the center position. This is not a matchup substitution. .”

It is said that Aguero and Guardiola are not getting along well. Zhang Lu chuckled. The winter transfer window is about to open. The British media is reporting that Liverpool wants to acquire Aguero.

It is estimated that Guardiola will not let him go unless he can buy a forward of the same level as Aguero. Zhan Jun shook his head, It is said that the old Barcelona player Pedro may leave the team, but he is not a center. Of course, Guardiola La’s forwardless tactic or virtual center tactic is also great.”

When Douglas Costa came on the field, Sun Wu carefully directed the team to retreat slightly and pass the ball in the midfield, carefully observing the position of the Manchester City players.

Guardiola also chose to change the formation, also in the 343 formation.

Kompany, Walker and Laporta form a three-centre defender, with Baines and Douglas Costa acting as wings. The double midfielders in the center are Fernandinho and Vidal, and the front three is David Silva. , Sane and Sterling.

It is not appropriate to say 343, because Manchester City has no center, and David Silva rarely enters the penalty area. He even prefers to move on both sides. This formation looks a bit awkward.

Sun Wu wanted to take another look, but Douglas Costa gave his teammates on the field the coach's instructions to attack.

In the 69th minute, Walker squeezed Griezmann with his body, and Kompany got the ball before Falcao and passed it back to the goalkeeper.

Because Manchester United gave up the high-pressure, Manchester City's pass was smooth and fast. The ball was quickly transferred to the other side. Baynes crossed the middle and Fernandinho crossed to David Silva on the right.

The Spanish magician and Sterling hit the wall horizontally and then suddenly turned around to protect the ball. Douglas Costa, who cut in, took the ball away.

Costa... passed Lucas... cross... Baines passed straight!

Sane!

This wave of Manchester City's attack went from the left to the center, and then from the center to the right. After a series of passes, it was sent to the left again. Sane entered the penalty area and shot from a small angle, which attracted Alderweireld to block it. loophole.

Then Sane spiked the ball back and was followed by Chilean midfielder Vidal!

Vidal shoots!

The goalpost...the goalpost rejected Vidal!

And... Sterling's follow-up shot... oh, it went over the crossbar!

Guardiola on the sidelines covered his face and looked up to the sky and sighed. How about such a good opportunity for amateur players to kick in!

Sun Wu, who ran back, was still frightened and applauded Sterling. What a great job!

Manchester City's attack clearly demonstrates Guardiola's tactical thinking. First of all, the number of midfielders is no longer at a disadvantage, and the ball is passed smoothly. Douglas Costa, Sane, Sterling, Baines, David... The running routes of little guys like Silva are very clear and have very clear purpose.

Although they lack a center, Manchester City does not lack shooting manpower. Sane returned the pass. Although Kante blocked David Silva, Vidal stepped in from the back row and completed the shot. Manchester United only had Kante as a midfielder in the middle. Sun Wu retreated and defended and failed to follow Vidal. This is the weakness of Manchester United's defense in the 343 formation.

And there was Sterling in the penalty area, who quietly appeared behind Van Dijk to shoot. Of course, the Happy Football spokesperson would never want to score such a difficult goal.

Sun Wu was a little scared, but also a little excited. This was a top-notch tactical duel.
