Chapter 182 Derby Battle (4K)

"This game is called by Clattenburg. It can be seen that the FA still attaches great importance to this game!"

"The two teams are also starting to play with all their strength. We will use the time before their kick-off to introduce the starting lineup."

As soon as Zhang Jun got the big list, he started to make introductions.

Judging from the configuration of existing players, Guardiola can make more adjustments.

In fact, Guardiola has already made changes.

"Manchester United at home are the 4231 that Mourinho is familiar with, which is Mourinho's best formation;
The goalkeeper position is still the Spanish national goalkeeper De Gea;
The defense line from left to right is: Luke Shaw, Blind, Bailey, Antonio Valencia;
Double defensive midfielders: Fellaini, Paul Pogba;

Central midfield: Lingard, Rooney, Mkhitaryan

Single arrow: Zlatan Ibrahimovic;
What surprised me is that Mourinho chose to let Blind and Bailey form the central defender. This seems a bit weak, and I'm afraid it will be blown away by Li Feng! "

Mourinho's arrangement is a bit surprising, but it is also one of Manchester United's best arrangements at this stage.

As for the promoted Rashford and the purchased Martial, they have not yet met Mourinho's requirements.

In contrast, Guardiola has more cards in his hand!

"Manchester City in the away game returned to the 433 formation, which is Guardiola's preferred formation;
Forwards: Nolito, Li Feng, Sterling
Midfielders: David Silva, Fernandinho, Kevin De Bruyne

Defense: Kolarov, Otamendi, Stones, Sagna;

Goalkeeper: Bravo!

Manchester City still spent a lot of money on the position of goalkeeper, just don't know if Bravo can meet Guardiola's requirements? "

"The game has begun, and Manchester United, who are playing at home, will take the lead in attacking!"

Manchester United, who played at home, started their own performance.

The veteran Ibrahimovic's running position after the kick-off was very good, and he attracted the attention of Fernandinho.

The cautious Brazilian iron waist did not leave his position to defend Ibrahimovic, and at the same time, the range of activities in Manchester City's frontcourt also expanded at this moment.

As a big center, Li Feng ran directly to Paul Pogba, which Guardiola specifically told before the game.

Li Feng's initiative allowed Paul Pogba to distribute the ball. Although Pogba was not as sticky to the ball as he was in Juventus, his procrastination did not allow Antonio Valencia to get a chance to move forward.

United's attack was eventually suppressed in their own half.

The disadvantages on the scene did not shake Mourinho. As Guardiola's old opponent, he knew very well that this was just the beginning. As long as he pushed through, Manchester United's chance to counterattack would come.

But what happened next made Mourinho frown.

Li Feng put himself in a position very close to Pogba. This position allows Li Feng to put pressure on Pogba as soon as he meets Pogba.

The two wings of Manchester City are even more deeply pressed, giving people the feeling that Manchester United can seize a time when they are at the front.

But the reality is that Manchester United's two wings are under the high pressure of Manchester City, and they cannot go forward.

"Manchester City are aggressive in the frontcourt. It seems that Manchester United can find a chance to play behind."

"But it depends on whether goalkeeper De Gea can seize the opportunity!"

"Valencia returned to the goalkeeper and David de Gea had enough space to pass the ball."

"From right to left?"

"Ashley Young may not be able to hold the ball here!"

Before receiving the ball, Sterling began to squeeze Ashley Young's position. Thanks to Ashley Young being a veteran, otherwise, under such a pressing, Manchester United would make mistakes in the frontcourt.

The ball returned to De Gea's feet again.

Note that the situation on the field is not very good, all De Gea can do is to drive forward.

The Spanish national goalkeeper took a look at the frontcourt and opened his big feet without any hesitation.

Although De Gea is not very good at such things, Ibrahimovic used his advantage and he got the ball back.

Returning the header, Rooney controlled the ball at his feet.

The captain of Manchester United is very fast with the ball, but Manchester United's frontcourt seems to lack speed players.

With Otamendi and other defenders returning to the defense, Rooney could only distribute the ball to Mkhitaryan on the wing.

Mkhitaryan got rid of it continuously, and he tore through Manchester City's defense.

"Through the pass? Strongly stick to the ground, Mkhitaryan is very confident in his passing!"

"This ball is not for Ibrahimovic, but for Lingard?"

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately it didn't come true."

"Young Stones cleared the ball off the baseline."

Looking at Manchester United's series of advances, what Zhang Jun wants to say is only two words-"luck"!
De Gea is not a goalkeeper who is good at long passes. Under normal circumstances, this guy's long pass is the beginning of losing the team.

But today he's lucky!
In the subsequent offensive series, Ibrahimovic still played his role, and Fernandinho had to devote some energy to watch Ibrahimovic.

The only thing to pay attention to is the existence of Lingard. This guy is a master who is good at chaotic battles. The more chaotic the scene, the more excited this guy is.

However, Manchester City's offensive and defensive arrangements are reasonable, and they did not give them a chance. If they want to take advantage of this, then Mourinho may need to make more preparations.

The corner kick was taken by Ashley Young. For Manchester United, the second boss on the two wings of the defense is their precious asset.

But they are not young, and Manchester United needs to make a plan for signings!

The game continues.

The quality of Ashley Young's corners was pretty good.

In the competition for the top of the restricted area, Ibrahimovic still has an absolute advantage.

The young Stones couldn't stand up to this old fritters. As for the other Manchester United players behind, Manchester City's defense is quite good.

"Ibrahimovic headed the goal!"

"Bravo saves the ball, Manchester United this time."

Before Zhang Jun could finish his words, the front of the field changed drastically.

Zhang Jun was dumbfounded by this.

At this moment, Zhan Lu picked up the conversation.

"Bravo made a low-level mistake. He didn't hold the ball, which led to an own goal this time!"

That's right, Bravo made a super low-level mistake, commonly known as "butter hand".

The ball missed, and it still missed his own goal, which made Guardiola's blood pressure start to rise.

I thought that the introduction of Bravo would make the team's defense more modern, but the current situation is "free".

Fortunately, it is only 20 minutes before the start of the game, and Manchester City still has a chance!
Guardiola believes that his players can quickly equalize the score.

Ibrahimovic's "goal" ignited the atmosphere at Old Trafford.

This old stadium erupted with unprecedented enthusiasm, and they expressed their emotions with their shouts and various items in their hands.

For Manchester United fans, the celebration time is a bit short, but they believe that after the game, they can go to the bar to celebrate!
The game restarts.

Manchester City kicked off in an away game.

The organizational brains of their midfield organized Manchester City's offense in an orderly manner.

Li Feng in the middle has won enough space for his teammates on the two wings.

Such a scene made Mourinho on the sidelines show envious eyes.

For Mourinho, he likes players like Li Feng who are talented and have good execution skills.

It's a pity that the management's "reorganization" led to the young striker joining Manchester City, which greatly enhanced Manchester City's strength.

Next, it will be easier for Manchester City to make targeted reinforcements and replace the entire defense line. As for a buyer like Stones, it is purely an investment in the future.

Despite being behind, Manchester City's advancement was still not in a hurry, and they suppressed Manchester United in their own half.

Although the successive passes did not tear through Manchester United's defense, Li Feng's position directly threatened Manchester United's goal.

Blind knew what Li Feng was thinking, after all, it was too obvious.

But to defuse this attack, only one Blind is not enough.

De Bruyne, who was in possession of Manchester City, saw Li Feng's position immediately. Although he didn't reach out for the ball, De Bruyne understood what the opponent meant.

"City's wall-to-wall combination on the right tore apart Manchester United's defense."

"De Bruyne cross!"

"Looking for Li Feng!"

"Blinder can't stop it."

"De Gea!!!!!!"

"With his excellent reaction and jumping, De Gea blocked Manchester City's attack this time."

"But it's just the beginning. It won't be easy to limit Manchester City's offense!"

[I'm going, it's really too risky. I now think that there is only one player who is worth spending a lot of money to bring in this summer, and that is Li Feng! 】

[This statement is still a bit premature, but I agree that although the position is different, I don't think Paul Pogba can be compared with this guy! 】

[Ahem, don't be like this, we are just looking for Aguero's successor! 】

[Laughing, Aguero's successor?With Li Feng's strength, it's uncertain who will succeed him! 】

【.】

Li Feng's brilliant performance in the middle made Manchester City fans even more happy.

For Manchester City fans, they believe that under Guardiola's coaching, Manchester City will win their own Big Ears Cup.

Although Manchester City is included in the ranks of the Premier League BIG6 at this stage, they are very clear that Manchester City is still a long way from becoming a giant.

This is reflected in all aspects, the number of champions in domestic leagues and cups, as well as the Big Ears Cup in the Champions League; these are the foundations of becoming a giant!

The corner where David Silva is standing.

The midfield maestro takes a quick look at the positioning of the box.

It seems that Li Feng is the one who is being defended mainly, but Li Feng is not the only player who can participate in the set ball competition!
"The corner kick is ready to go, David Silva's gesture has changed, will this be later?"

Zhang Jun watched David Silva's actions, and he expressed his opinion.

Especially at the same time, Li Feng pulled out from the penalty area.

Such an action attracted the attention of most Manchester United players.

"GOALLLL!!!!!!"

"Manchester City tied the score with a set kick in the 31st minute; although it was not Li Feng who scored the goal, the presence of Li Feng caused Manchester United's defense to have problems!"

"Li Feng's strength is well utilized by Manchester City players. As Manchester City's opponents, it is impossible for Manchester United to ignore Li Feng, and this management requires them to devote enough attention. Then this distraction, Manchester City It's easy for other players to get the chance!"

[The goal came so quickly, but it's a pity that this goal was not Li Feng's. If Li Feng scored it, it would be great! 】

[The game is not over yet, there is still a chance; but I am more concerned about how Manchester United will adjust their defense in the next time. 】

[Defense?Still need to adjust the defense?Since Li Feng can't stand this point, then don't watch it at all! 】

[Don't read it, so what about his withdrawal?Do you really think this guy only grabs points? 】

[Laughed, No. 9 dribbled the ball forward?Although Li Feng has done such a thing, this is the Premier League, it is not that easy! 】

【.】

Fans from all sides began to offer their "suggestions" after Manchester City equalized.

But there are really too few of these suggestions that can really be implemented.

For Mourinho, it is not impossible to put the defensive focus on marking De Bruyne, but he has no suitable candidates.

As for letting Pogba defend, he himself feels that such an idea is unrealistic.

Celebration time is over quickly.

For Stones, this is his first goal in joining Manchester City. It can be seen from the smile on his face that he is very happy.

The game restarts.

Manchester United kick off.

The aging Ibrahimovic still used his running to pull Manchester City's defense.

But the ball could not be passed to his feet quickly.

Familiar grabbing, familiar taste, but this time Manchester City's grabbing is not as fierce as the opening.

This is naturally seen by Pogba, and as he reaches for the ball, it seems to mean that Manchester United's offensive is about to start.

Pogba caught the ball with his back, and he stuck Li Feng behind him.

"Is this going directly to Li Feng?"

"Although Li Feng is a striker, his confrontation is not weak!"

As Zhang Jun said, although Pogba occupied the position, Li Feng made Pogba very uncomfortable in the confrontation.

The ball was finally given to Valencia by Pogba.

Antonio Valencia sent the ball forward, and the retreating Mkhitaryan overlapped Valencia. The cooperation of the two allowed Manchester United to squeeze through the half-time.

Continuously getting rid of, Mkhitaryan continued to advance.

The midfielder, who is not good at confrontation, gives his options.

"Mkhitaryan took the lead, Kolarov lost his position, and passed the ball in an inverted triangle!"

"Otamendi goes down and clears, Manchester United's corner!"

"If Otamendi is a little slower, then the ball may not be a clearance!"

For short central defenders like Otamendi, their biggest feature is that they are flexible enough.

But the next corner kick is the real pressure for Otamendi!

Although the fight with Ibrahimovic was handed over to Stones, as the big brother in the team, Otamendi needs to give Stones to fill in the gaps.

The game continues.

Manchester United handed the corner kick to Mkhitaryan this time.

Then it was time for the midfielder to perform!
