Chapter 161 Manchester Derby, the first scoring!

The flames of the Champions League have just extinguished, and the war horn of the Premier League has sounded again.

The schedule of the Premier League has reached the final stage. Compared with the brutal championship competition in previous years, this year's Premier League seems a bit dull.

For the vast number of Premier League fans, the Manchester Derby on the night of March NO.20 will determine the championship of this season.

This is the last round of the Premier League in March. As long as Manchester City draws, they can win the Premier League championship this season seven rounds ahead of schedule.

After a lapse of another year, he will be re-crowned as the king of the Premier League.

Unlike the 6 season when Big[-] swept the top six Premier League teams, this year's Premier League has completely overturned the previous pattern.

Tottenham have slowed down on the verge of collapse, Pochettino's youth army has shown a good momentum, and the recent games have played better and better.

Manchester United struggled against the invasion of injuries. Giggs, who was fighting the fire, really had no talent for coaching as a generation of famous players. Three years after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United still did not find someone who could lead them back to the top.

Arsenal has not completely lost the chain like in previous years. Wenger's team has a high probability of determining the top four positions in the league.

After the hopeless championship, the old coach has set his sights on the Champions League. This year's Gunners seem to be flowers before withering. By chance, they want to bloom their last light in the withering.

Manchester City has begun to look forward to the great cause of the treble. With the unbeaten record of [-] consecutive rounds of the Premier League, the suspense of the Premier League championship has come to an end.

Liverpool and Chelsea are destined to be the foils to their rivals, with Klopp already gearing up for next season.

Hiddink's team is still embarrassingly moving forward on the road to refresh the history of shame. Chelsea's record of participating in the UEFA Champions League for more than ten consecutive years since the start of the 03-04 season is about to end this season.

The sudden emergence of Leicester City and Southampton have reached the top six in the Premier League. Fox City has also become the only team that may break the Big6's continuous monopoly on the Premier League and Champions League seats in recent years. The miracle belonging to the Blue Fox is happening. staged.

The champion determined early, the mid-range team's counterattack, the old giants continue to wither, the most tragic battle for the Champions League seat in recent years,
Winning streak, rise, decline This year's Premier League has made many fans enjoy watching, and the various chaotic situations are dazzling.

Of course, many football critics pointed out the huge gap in strength in the league. Will the Premier League champion be monopolized by Manchester City like other leagues, and will it reduce the enjoyment of the Premier League?
Regarding this view, fans have a lot of discussions, some are optimistic, some are negative, and some are noncommittal, but everything must return to football.

In everyone's anticipation, the Manchester derby, which will determine the Premier League champion this season, is about to strike.

Compared with the optimistic media and fans, Manchester City attaches great importance to the upcoming game. After the match with Bayern, Guardiola gave Manchester City players a day off.

After this day's vacation, the entire Manchester City team has devoted themselves to the intense closed-end preparations, handing over their mobile phones and refusing the media. The whole team is focused on resting and preparing for the upcoming game.

For Manchester City's coaching staff, after winning Bayern, their headaches came again.

After the match against Bayern, most of the main players suffered from serious physical exertion. At least the team doctor suggested to rest for a week, or at least three days, after the players returned to the team from vacation.

But let alone a week now, the Manchester City team has only three days in total to rest and prepare for the game!
With the Manchester derby coming up in three days, there simply wasn't enough time for them to get the best out of their team.

This is a very frustrating schedule, and the Manchester City team certainly wants to be crowned the Premier League champion in the most enjoyable way.

After all, having tasted the wonderful taste of winning the League Cup, and then winning the most important domestic league championship in the most enjoyable way, will definitely make Manchester City more successful this season.

But the schedule has already been set. After Bayern, there are only three days to prepare. Either you can grit your teeth and fight Manchester United, or follow the normal rotation, let the main players rest well, and use the substitute lineup to fight Manchester United.

If you consider from the perspective of the health of the players, Guardiola must maintain his own rotation system,
After all, Manchester City's bench lineup is also quite luxurious, plus a few main players in good condition, Manchester City's strength has not been greatly affected.

But after the players of Manchester City knew about it, they were eager to fight, and they all expressed their desire to ensure the home championship and to teach their rivals in the same city a blood lesson!
Zhao Jinge felt that this matter was nothing at all, so he hesitated. He was in good physical condition, and he definitely had no problem playing Manchester United.

But the team doctor has spoken, and it is best for the other main players of Manchester City to rest now, but all of these guys are eager to fight, and they pat their chests and say they are not tired, which makes Zhao Jinge very moved.

Teammates all want to give it a try, so give it a try?
After all, after this game, if it goes well, the league championship will be won, and then Manchester City only needs to focus on the Champions League, and even if the Champions League goes all the way to the final, the game Manchester City will play is just five fingers away. number.

It can be said that if all goes well in the Manchester derby, Manchester City only needs to pay attention to five games at most in the remaining two months of the season.

Coupled with the great significance of winning the Manchester Derby, it has far-reaching significance to the team, fans, and the entire club. If such a good opportunity is missed, even if you win the championship later, it will not be so satisfactory.

So after thinking about it again and again, Guardiola also felt that it is not realistic to force the players to rotate. Since the players don't want to leave regrets, let's fight again!
The Manchester derby has always been a war for both sides of the game.

After Manchester City slaughtered Manchester United in the first round of the league, the antagonism between the two teams became more serious.

And now a significant Manchester Derby is about to usher in. It can be said that there is no need to mobilize at all. Both teams are ready to tear each other apart.

Stepping on the archenemy to win the championship at home, revenge to overthrow the archenemy's championship celebration, two different arguments fermented in Manchester.

As the match day approached, the city of Manchester staged a sharp confrontation between red and blue, and a huge division was staged in the city. Passion, chaos, and even violence outside the stadium were common.

The police in Manchester City urgently dispatched a large number of police forces from other places to temporarily stay in Manchester.

The huge city is now like a crater that is about to erupt, constantly accumulating strength and conflicts, and when the much-anticipated game begins, it is time for it to erupt and vent.

At 05:30 pm local time in the UK, the Etihad Stadium, the No.30 round of the English Premier League, the most important game of the season is about to start.

"Hello, viewers and friends, welcome to the football live broadcast brought to you by Sky Sports, I am your old friend Andy Gray.

I believe that all fans who follow the Premier League game know what this game tonight represents. This is an extraordinary Manchester derby!
It is a pity that Manchester United center Rooney missed the game due to a thigh muscle problem, and Ashley Young, Herrera, Luke Shaw, Phil Jones and other Manchester United main players also missed due to injuries.

Compared with Manchester City, which has a well-organized lineup, Manchester United's lineup seems a bit lacking in star flavor. Martial, Rashford, Lingard, three young partners form Manchester United's striker today. After Rooney is gone, the speed will be faster It has become a magic weapon for Manchester United's striker. "

"Today Giggs played a four-two-three-one formation:
Goalkeeper: De Gea;

Defenders: Rojo, Blind, Smalling, Damian;

Midfielders: Carrick, Schneiderlin, Mata, Martial, Lingard;

Forward: Rashford. "

Can you believe that the most star-studded star in Manchester United's lineup is actually their goalkeeper De Gea!
Except for Schneiderlin, Carrick and Mata, the others are more or less flawed, not to mention the colanders on the back line.

The trio in the front court are all gods and ghosts.

No, it's sloppy. Lin Huang is a magical player who can rest for a season. This is no longer an existence that can be explained by the second quadrant of gods and ghosts.

"For Manchester City, Guardiola sent us the familiar four-three-three:
Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Kompany, Stones, Clichy.

Midfield: Kante, Gundogan, David Silva.

Forwards: Zhao Jinge, Aguero, Mane"

When it came time to finalize the starting lineup, Guardiola still made an appropriate rotation.

Yaya Toure's physical condition is really poor, De Bruyne also has slight discomfort in his thigh, and Mahrez also has some minor problems with his calf tendon.

Under such circumstances, of course Guardiola will not force these players to play. Fortunately, Manchester City has a strong substitute lineup, which is outrageously luxurious. David Silva, Gundogan, and Mane are on top immediately. , To ensure the integrity of Manchester City's lineup.

"Manchester United have not had a good time recently, they have lost four consecutive rounds in all competitions.

Lost to West Brom in the last round of the Premier League, and was eliminated by another rival Liverpool in the Europa League with one win and one draw.

The FA Cup drew with West Ham United, and there will be a rematch in the follow-up. Ryan Giggs is already battered, and Manchester United urgently needs to find the next helm.

Manchester City, on the other hand, has a continuous winning streak in the league and the Champions League, almost out of touch!

The turbulent Manchester United, the reborn Manchester City, what kind of surprises will the two Manchester teams bring us!
The duel between red and blue, the interweaving of water and fire, is it the former king who used his old body to defend his glory, or the rising upstart who used his invincible arms to pull down the deadly enemy and set foot on the throne!

The world is focused on this, the Manchester derby has a grand start! "

At the Etihad Stadium, amid the cheers of more than 5000 fans, this world-renowned focus game officially started.

Rashford and Martial served in the middle circle. As two young players who are not afraid of tigers, they did not pass back after kick-off, but Martial took the ball to the half of Manchester City. field approaching.

Rashford and Lingard also pressed forward at the same time. Obviously Manchester United wanted to use their three fast horses to test the depth of Manchester City from the beginning.

However, Kanter and Gun Duoan's timely forward pressure, Zhao Jinge and Mane's rapid adduction,
Forcing Manchester United to take the ball not far into Manchester City's half, and before it could advance to the 30-meter area, it was forced to pass back to the midfield led by Uncle Mata.

Manchester City's frontcourt launched a quick counter-attack.

Manchester City is active in the entire midfield, including Aguero who is in the front, and the six people are actively running and pressing in the frontcourt together.

"Manchester City's stars are in a good state of mind. After the last battle, Manchester City, which has rotated some players, still performed well. Their high-pressure pressing has not been disturbed by consecutive battles. It seems that today's Manchester City will give Manchester United The players are working hard!"

Andy Gray happily introduced the game situation on the field. Manchester City's initiative at the beginning made the commentator very happy.

With a press in front and a barrier in the midfield, Manchester United's offense can only make a long pass to find Rashford or let the two young people on the wing rush forward with speed.

Mata encountered Zhao Jinge's continuous pressure, and under the last resort, he chose to make a long pass to find the master puller in front of him.

But the pass with such obvious intentions has long been discovered by the players of Manchester City. Gundogan, who has been hovering around Rashford, took the lead and pushed the ball back to the midfield position in the top battle.

Kanter grabbed the first point and passed it back to Stones who came to meet him. In today's game, Guardiola did not restrict Stones' forward penetration. Now Guardiola is somewhat inclined to put Stones Si is used as a defensive midfielder on the back line.

The Manchester City central defender used his body to block Lingard who was running to fight for him. After protecting the ball, he passed it back to Gundogan who ran to the space, and then passed it to Zhao Jinge who was running forward. Manchester City was soon on the left launched an offensive.

At this time, just 2 minutes into the game, Manchester City immediately launched a fast break after winning the ball.

Zhao Jinge dribbled the ball forward from the left, but Damian retreated quickly.

Regarding Zhao Jinge, Damian did not dare to relax in the slightest. After all, this is the man who broke the Premier League scoring record.

Facing the extremely fast Zhao Jinge, no left back would dare to blindly overplay him, especially when he was followed by Chrissy who was about to rim.

Zhao Jinge quickly dribbled the ball across the center line and advanced to the 30-meter area of ​​Manchester United, but Schneiderlin quickly double-teamed over. Zhao Jinge failed to create a threat and immediately passed the ball back.

Gundogan also crossed the center line, and as soon as he stopped the ball, he saw Carrick quickly pressing over.

"Manchester United's defense was quick and they quickly organized a counterattack near the center line."

Gundogan just stopped, did not wait for Carrick to approach, and passed the ball directly to Stones, who also just passed the halfway line. This player with the most outstanding skills in England can be used as a delay Back waist to use.

Stones stopped the ball, Martial had already pressed up, and at the same time cut off Stones' pass to David Silva, forcing the Englishman to turn to the left for a response.

Zhao Jinge has already retreated quickly at this time, near the left line. Seeing Stones looking over, he immediately ran two steps forward and raised his hand to ask for the ball, but Schneiderlin also noticed him and moved to the left Leaned a little.

In this way, the position behind Schneiderlin was vacant instead.

David Silva dropped back from the front, diagonally down the middle, and ran towards the gap on the left side of Carrick.

Schneiderlin was supposed to be here, but he was attracted by Zhao Jinge.

Stones blocked Martial with his body. Relying on his strong body and advantages of height and legs, Manchester United's striker could not grab the ball.

After protecting the ball, Stones did not pass the ball to Zhao Jinge on the left, but passed it directly to David Silva who retreated to respond.

At this time, Manchester United's midfield defense loosened.

As soon as Stones passed the ball, Schneiderlin realized the risk, immediately abandoned Zhao Jinge and retreated, turned around and chased David Silva, Carrick also rushed towards David Silva immediately.

At the same time, David Silva's drop-back also pulled out Blind in Manchester United's defense.

David Silva deftly stopped Stones' through ball, took only one step, and passed the ball behind Carrick with his right foot.

Aguero drops back from the front, just in the area behind Carrick's exit position.

After receiving a pass from David Silva, the Argentine didn't let the ball stay under his feet at all. He rushed to the front of Smalling, stopped with his left foot, and sent a diagonal pass to the rear with the outside instep of his right foot. The ball passed the football to the left side of the penalty area.

It was also at this moment that everyone, including the live broadcast, noticed that a blue figure was like a bolt of lightning, and quickly entered Manchester United's penalty area from the left.

When Zhao Jinge ran across the center line from the frontcourt, trying to meet Stones, and raised his hand to ask for the ball, he found that the British central defender did not pass the ball to him, but passed it directly to the space in front of him.

David Silva has Brendra out and Schneiderlin and Carrick are ready to pinch him.

Zhao Jinge did not hesitate at all. When Schneiderlin retreated to flank David Silva, he sprinted forward from the outside at the fastest speed.

At that time, the attention of all Manchester United defensive players was attracted by David Silva who received the ball.

For Manchester City, only Aguero, who cooperated with Zhao Jinge tacitly, glanced to the left before receiving the ball. This look allowed him to find a good opportunity to score!

Aguero stopped the ball with his left foot and sent the ball to the left side of the penalty area with the outside instep of his right foot.

Zhao Jinge moved forward at the fastest speed, passing Schneiderlin and Blind quickly all the way, turning into the penalty area and catching up with Aguero's pass.

The Argentine forward's pass was just right, not too strong or too small, and it happened to be the most comfortable position for Zhao Jinge to receive the ball. This is the tacit understanding between the top forwards.

After Zhao Jinge caught up, he felt very familiar and strong. He didn't stop the ball, directly facing the football with his left foot and shooting furiously with one kick.

The football stuck to the turf and shot towards the lower left corner of Manchester United's goal at a very fast speed.

Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea was quickly moving his center of gravity to the left, but was suddenly hit by a far post by Zhao Jinge. His center of gravity could not be adjusted at all, so he stood upright and watched the football hit the left post Inside, bounced into Manchester United's goal.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"My God, less than 4 minutes into the game, Manchester City's first attack, Zhao Jinge made a quick drive along the left wing, and volleyed an amazing left foot into the far corner, opening the scoring for Manchester City!

In this crucial duel, let Manchester City lead [-]-[-]! "
