The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

Chapter 730 Assisting Sterling to break the deadlock!

The game had just started, and Manchester City formed a siege against Manchester United.

Li Chuanqi's free kick almost broke the gate of Manchester United.

Manchester City's corner kick, David Silva directly sent the football into the penalty area, Li Chuanqi, under the double-team of two Manchester United players, completed the header with difficulty!
The football goes over the bar.

Manchester United finally got the ball.

After the game restarted, Manchester City used a high press, and the atmosphere on the field was very tense.

With the passage of time and the accumulation of experience, Guardiola's tactical thinking has undergone certain changes, adding high-position pressing and quick counterattacks to pure pass control tactics.

Its tactical characteristics are very similar to those of the Spanish team.

Some people think that his change is because of Spain's success in the World Cup.

He is studying Bosque.

On the pitch, the players from both sides competed fiercely. Under the pressure of Manchester City's midfielder, Manchester United's back line directly moved the football to the frontcourt to start the attack.

Such a method is destined to have a low success rate.

Stones snatched the ball and transferred it to goalkeeper Ederson.

The ball returned to Manchester City's feet. Manchester United changed their tactics this time, and most of the players returned to their own half.

The Sky Sports commentator said: "Although Mourinho has formed an attacking formation of four, three, three, but he is playing defensive counterattack tactics! This is an offensive and defensive battle!"

In the 6th minute of the first half, De Bruyne seized the fleeting opportunity and pierced Manchester United's defense with a diagonal pass, and the football flew towards the left rib of the penalty area!

Sterling flew to kill and shot directly with one kick!
The football goes wide of the goal!

Three minutes later, Manchester City completed a steal near the midfield, and De Bruyne launched a quick counterattack!
After Li Chuanqi got the football on the right, he just got rid of it on the wing, and was directly knocked out of the field by Lindelof.

What people didn't expect was that such an obvious foul, but the referee did not make a penalty.

"Hush!..."

There were huge boos at the Etihad Stadium, and Manchester City fans were very dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

Li Chuanqi returned to the field, Lindelof bumped into Li Chuanqi without the ball, and said in his ear: "Your body is too bad, you have already flown out of the field before I exert any strength!"

While speaking, he also shook his index finger, held his mouth shut, and sneered.

Li Chuanqi has entered the professional arena for several years. Since he became famous, he often encounters such provocations on the court.

Their purpose was very clear, to irritate him and make him lose his mind.

"Are you sure you want to piss me off?"

Li Chuanqi looked at Lindelof.

Lindelof was slightly taken aback, as if he remembered something.

But how could a man back down.

"So what if you pissed me off?"

Lindelof looked directly at Li Chuanqi.

Li Chuanqi gave him a thumbs up and quickly returned to the square half, because Manchester United was attacking!
Lindelof glanced at Li Chuanqi's back, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart. Shouldn't he be mocking and provoking him?

Soon after, Lindelof received a pass from his teammate, and Li Chuanqi immediately started to press.

Lindelof knew how terrifying Li Chuanqi's steal success rate was, and immediately transferred the football to Fellaini's feet.

After passing the ball, Lindelof started to move forward, and he wanted to cooperate with Fellaini.

"Snapped!……"

Fellaini made a direct diagonal pass, and Lindelof stretched out his right foot, ready to stop the football.

The moment he stretched out his right foot, a huge force came from his left shoulder!

The huge force made Lindelof lose his center of gravity.

"what!……"

Lindelof let out a scream and fell to the turf.

"foul!"

The Manchester United players yelled at the referee, but the referee still did not blow his whistle and made a gesture to continue the game!

After Li Chuanqi knocked down Lindelof, he controlled the football!
The Manchester City Sports Channel commentator said: "The referee's scale was very loose tonight. He didn't whistle for this kind of physical confrontation!"

After Li Chuanqi controlled the football, the three Manchester United players closest to him were about to form a circle.

This is to kill Manchester City's quick counterattack in the bud.

Li Chuanqi didn't want to kill through the encirclement of Manchester United players, but chose to pass the ball.

The football flew out of the encirclement like a sharp arrow and flew towards Sterling on the left!
"nice shot!"

The Sky Sports commentator roared: "This is a precise pass with a scalpel version! The football was like a scalpel from the encirclement of Manchester United, and it cut through Manchester United's defense line!

Lee once again showed his passing skills, tearing through Manchester United's defense and creating excellent scoring opportunities for his teammates! "

The Manchester City Sports Channel commentator sighed: "Lee is the kind of player who can threaten the opponent's defense at any time! Let's see if Sterling can seize this excellent opportunity this time!"

On the field, Sterling is like a fast horse, leading the football towards the Manchester United penalty area!
One-handed!

Manchester United's defense was in chaos, chasing after Sterling.

The Manchester City fans once again saw the hope of scoring a goal and gave a huge shout!
After entering the penalty area, facing the attacking De Gea, Sterling calmly shot a low shot!
The football is like a sharp arrow, sticking to the turf, passing from the right side of De Gea, and flying into the empty goal!

Earth-shattering cheers and screams erupted instantly at the Etihad Stadium!

Manchester City fans turned the stadium into a blue ocean of joy!
"Sterling!"

The Manchester City Sports Channel commentator said loudly: "After Sterling took over Lee's wonderful pass, he formed a single-handedly single-handedly, and finally sent the football into Manchester United's goal!
One to zero!

Manchester City's offense finally scored a goal! "

The Sky Sports commentator shouted: "The goal is scored! Sterling completed the goal! The score on the field became one to zero!

When Lee snatched the football from Fellaini, Manchester United's defense focused entirely on him.

The intention of Manchester United's defensive players is very obvious. It is to use containment to strangle Manchester City's quick counterattack, either to grab the football from Li's feet, or let him pass the football back to other teammates.

However, Lee completed the pass in the encirclement of Manchester United and delivered shells to Sterling!

Sterling did not waste Lee's wonderful pass, did not live up to the expectations of Guardiola and Manchester City fans, and scored the football into the goal guarded by De Gea!
Manchester City, sitting at home, continued their good form at home!
Mourinho's team, so far, has performed very mediocre, both in attack and defense.

Although they attached great importance to defense and hoarded a large number of troops in the backcourt, this time they failed to restrain Li in the first place, causing Li to pass the football.

As for the offense... Manchester United so far, have not created a threatening attack.

Manchester United's offense is very simple, basically playing in the backcourt, regardless of whether the striker can get the ball or not.

Even if the striker gets the ball, Manchester United's offense has no routine and relies entirely on the striker's personal performance.

Mourinho's team is really not very good at attacking. "
