I started with Torres, to revive German football

Chapter 305 The defeated Manchester United

“Oh my God! Kill! Kill!

Zhao Jinge beat Southampton in the last few minutes of the game!He captured St. Mary's Stadium!
This is an absolute killer shot!There are less than 3 minutes left before the end of regular game time, and Manchester City is about to take away three points from St. Mary's under a difficult schedule! ! ! "

Accompanied by the excited voice of the Sky Sports commentator, thousands of Manchester City fans on the away game suddenly jumped up from their seats and began a passionate and crazy celebration, while Southampton fans covered their heads and opened their eyes wide. It seems that he can't believe the scene of being killed.

After Zhao Jinge saw the football go into the net, he slapped his chest and ran towards the stands where the Manchester City fans were!
De Bruyne and Mahrez ran after him immediately!
The depression of almost nine and ten minutes was finally released with Zhao Jinge's winning goal. The Manchester City players rushed forward, roaring and patting Zhao Jinge's chest and arms in celebration!

"The ball went in! At the most critical moment, the most critical player scored the winning goal!"

Guardiola did not hold back on the sidelines and celebrated directly on the spot, but his slightly ferocious expression revealed the excitement in his heart at this moment.

This is a complete surprise!He was originally prepared to end in a draw, but Zhao Jinge gave him a big surprise!

The ninth round of the Premier League.

Tottenham Hotspur drew [-]-[-] with Wolves.

Liverpool was at home and evened the score twice after falling behind twice, but in the end they tied with Black Cat Sunderland [-]-[-].

Gunners Arsenal showed off their prowess at home in this round, reversing Swansea [-]-[-].

The Gunners' four goals were scored by four players, which shows that Arsenal's offense is everywhere.

Chelsea bloody massacred Manchester United!
Except for Arsenal and Chelsea, the other teams at the top of the standings basically got draws.

This is mainly related to the fact that these teams basically need to prepare for third-line operations. They have to play in the Premier League and League Cup, but also have to be distracted by European competitions. Under the third-line operations, it is inevitable that they will not be able to take care of it.

But it also created an excellent opportunity for Manchester City to widen the gap.

After winning this game, Manchester City's lead over Chelsea, No. 2 in the standings, will be eight points.

This is a pretty safe score. From now on, Manchester City only needs to do a good job of stabilizing the point difference. They have won all nine rounds of the league and scored 27 points and are eight points ahead of No. 2. This is already a dream start. Got it!
The players of Manchester City were enjoying the ecstasy of winning the game, but the mentality of the Southampton players on the other side of the field was a bit unbalanced. They don't play like this!
It doesn't matter if you score in the first half. It's almost over and you want a buzzer beater?After working hard for a whole game, I thought I could get one point of hard-earned money at my home court, but in the end it was all gone? !

This is equivalent to saying that Southampton's players fought in vain in this game, and the loser was Manchester City, a direct opponent in the Big 6 of the Premier League. Who can be willing to do so?
At least Southampton's offensive players were unwilling to give up. Even if there were only the last few minutes of the game, they still refused to give up. After winning the ball, they attacked Manchester City's defense regardless.

But their personal strength is still not enough. If Mane is still there, they can let the Senegalese rush forward, but now Mane is already in the shape of Manchester City.

Facing Manchester City's formation that immediately retreated after the goal, it was too difficult to break the defense with a pass or long shot.

This was a game that did not belong to Southampton. When Guardiola began to schedule substitutions, Southampton entered a countdown to death.

Finally, when the referee saw Tadic wasting Southampton's last attack, he decisively blew the whistle to end the game. Manchester City also won this fierce contest with Southampton and continued to maintain its unbeatable record. .

Southampton fans found it difficult to accept such a result. It was really ironic to witness their team being defeated by their opponents at home, and the opponent was Manchester City who had repeatedly shown off their power over Southampton.

Huge boos rang out in the St. Mary's Stadium. The Manchester City players were fine, but the Southampton players and their new head coach Pierre looked ugly.

Because the game was over, Manchester City's players went to the locker room after a simple celebration without doing anything extra to stimulate the fans.

So this boo is for the Southampton players!

The cover headlines of major sports newspapers the next day were undoubtedly the news of Zhao Jinge's stunning victory over Southampton.

As the only superstar-level offensive player in the Premier League, Zhao Jinge's winning goal yesterday was also publicized by various media around the world.

Three days later, in the EFL Cup quarter-finals, Manchester United welcomed the Manchester Derby at home.

Both teams made heavy rotations during the game.

After all, they just played in the European war last weekend and played in the league in the middle of the week. There are many players in both teams, which seems a bit inadequate.

However, the gap between the lineups of the two sides after the rotation was still quite large, so Mourinho adopted a defensive and counterattack tactic at home to deal with Manchester City's stronger lineup.

On the night of the match day, when the referee blew the whistle to start the game, Manchester City took the initiative and launched a fierce attack on Manchester United with a very fast pace.

Tonight, at Old Trafford, Manchester City deployed a standard lineup of four, three, and three.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defence: Kyle Walker, Stones, Laporte and Cancelo.

Midfielder: David Silva, Fernandinho, Yaya Toure.

Forward: Mane, Zhao Jinge, Sterling.

This is definitely a strong offensive lineup.

Less than 1 minute into the game, Manchester City took the lead with Kyle Walker forcing a breakthrough on Manchester United's left wing, causing a foul on Manchester United defender Bailly, who was given a yellow card.

After that, Manchester City continued to pursue and fight fiercely.

In the 3rd minute, David Silva's shot from Mane's pass was blocked by Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea and flew out of the baseline.

Manchester City's subsequent corner kick attack also created chaos in Manchester United's penalty area.

After the game started, Manchester City was not unreasonable at all. It raised the pace of the game to the highest level from the beginning, continued to put pressure on Manchester United, and was determined to directly overwhelm Manchester United's momentum.

This style of play caught Manchester United somewhat unexpectedly. They passively resisted and were unable to launch a counterattack.

It wasn't until the 13th minute of the game that Manchester United made a counterattack, but Pogba's cross was cleared by Laporte's header and failed to form a shot.

But soon, Manchester City retaliated. Cancelo sent a high-quality cross from the right side of Manchester United. Mane nodded the ball and created a header opportunity for Zhao Jinge. The football was almost blocked. Into the far corner.

Zhao Jinge and Sterling then took action one after another, but their shots were blocked by Manchester United defenders.

The pace of the game is getting faster and faster, with no intention of stopping at all.The most interesting thing is that the game has been played for more than 20 minutes, and Manchester United, which is at home today, has not even had a successful shot!

Watching the Manchester City players show off their prowess at their home stadium, and then seeing the rubbish performance of their own players, this made the Manchester United fans in the audience feel more uncomfortable than eating shit.

Until the 209th minute, while defending Manchester United's counterattack, Cancelo tackled Rashford outside the penalty area and was awarded a free kick. Ibrahimovic took the penalty and scored the first kick. Shot, but missed.

But just 1 minute later, David Silva sent a beautiful through ball. Zhao Jinge easily stepped in. After catching up with the ball in the penalty area, he got ahead of De Gea and passed the ball across the goal. On the right, Mane followed up and hit the empty goal.

One to zero!

Manchester City broke through Manchester United's goal easily and comfortably, as if walking on a deserted road in the early morning!

Mourinho frowned involuntarily as he watched Manchester City's players rush out of the field to celebrate.

Mourinho said he was confused.

Because the pace of this game tonight is too fast.

Although the Premier League is known for its fast pace, Mourinho really did not expect such a fast pace.

how to say?

It feels a bit like dying.

Isn't it just a League Cup?As for working so hard?
How long can their physical fitness last?

Mourinho said that he really couldn't understand it, but he didn't have any good way to deal with it, so he could only stop thinking about it for the time being.

After all, the condition of their own players is simply ridiculous. In the European War last week, Manchester United also flew a long distance to the Netherlands to challenge Ajax. Then, as soon as they returned home, they were slaughtered by Chelsea before they had a good rest. Then they encountered It can be said that luck, status, physical fitness and morale are not on their side for Manchester City, who are now like wolves and tigers.

But Mourinho didn't want to think too much, so the Manchester United players on the court had to think too much.

In the 308th minute, Valencia fouled Sterling on the wing. David Silva sent a free kick. Zhao Jinge hit the goal with a header between the two Manchester United central defenders. Manchester City expanded the score.

Two to zero!
After Zhao Jinge scored, he didn't even have the intention to celebrate, because such a goal was too simple and easy, and it didn't give him the special excitement of scoring a goal against a mortal enemy!

Just 4 minutes later, Sterling dribbled the ball from the left and cut inside, then sent a cross pass. After Zhao Jinge got the ball at the front of the penalty area, Smalling did not rush to block it immediately, giving Zhao Jinge a shot from the top of the penalty area. Opportunity to kick from the left.

The Manchester City center pulled his left foot and hit a curve ball directly to the left side of the Manchester United goal.

Three to zero!
Mourinho was kicked out and was left speechless. The veteran Mourinho saw the problem clearly.

During the halftime break, they made decisive substitutions, replacing Smalling and Valencia who were not performing well, and replaced them with Phil Jones and Rojo. In the midfield, they took out Carrick and replaced them. Fellaini.

Three substitutions in one breath immediately strengthened the team's midfield and backfield defense.

After Manchester City's fast-paced attack in the first half, they grabbed a ball possession rate of 60.00%, which is already very high, and their passing success rate was also as high as 80.00%, which is simply amazing!
But the physical exertion was really great, so less than 10 minutes into the second half, Manchester United got a chance with a counterattack. Mata and Ibrahimovic cooperated in the frontcourt and shot a goal, which almost brought Manchester United back a goal. ball.

Guardiola is also clearly aware of the team's physical exhaustion problem.

As a result, Guardiola also made two substitutions in one breath.

First, Mahrez replaced Mane, and Kante replaced Fernandinho. Fernando lost Mata in the defense just now. This veteran who has played for Manchester City for many years does have some fundamentals now. Not on.

Just 5 minutes later, Guardiola made his third substitution, and Clichy replaced Cancelo.

The latter's back and forth running is also quite expensive.

After replacing three players, Manchester City once again held high the banner of pressing and pressing. Starting from the 705th minute of the game, they once again launched a fierce attack on Manchester United.

No. 80 In the second minute, Yaya Toure sent a direct pass to Mahrez, who retreated to meet.

After the Manchester City winger received the ball next to Fellaini, he turned around and sent a diagonal pass to the front and center of Manchester United's penalty area.

When Zhao Jinge stopped the ball, he faced Bailly directly. He had already entered the penalty area and pressed forward step by step.

Sterling quickly sprinted from the left, diagonally diagonally into the penalty area from the left corner, and shouted behind Zhao Jinge.

The Manchester City center forward understood the situation and moved the ball towards the baseline. After Bailly's attention was drawn away, he cut inside laterally.

Sterling rushed to the bottom line, caught up with Zhao Jinge's pass, and passed an inverted triangle back to send the ball behind Bailly.

Zhao Jinge, who was cutting inside, just stopped the ball with his right foot and bumped into Fellaini who was returning to defend. He stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but his body balance was excellent. During the staggering, When his body was almost losing balance, he took the first step and stabbed the football.

The football just passed through the chaos of people, and got under De Gea into the lower right corner of Manchester United's goal.

"GOAL!!!!!!"

"Four to zero! Another [-] to [-]. Manchester United suffered huge humiliation on two fronts at the same time. They were defeated by Chelsea and their local rival Manchester City at their home court. The score was absolutely bloody. Manchester United was defeated in Dream Theater’s performance has been shattered!”

"Zhao Jinge once again scored a hat trick against Manchester United!"

By this moment, the game was basically over.

The entire English League Cup match was played at a very fast pace. The two teams were playing in full swing and it was overwhelming.

Especially for Manchester City, the pace of the game is obviously faster and sharper than before.

You know, in the past, Manchester City still controlled the ball appropriately in many cases, but tonight it was like they were on drugs, attacking whenever they had the opportunity, forcing Manchester United to follow suit.

But when Manchester United became nervous and increased their speed, it gave Manchester City more opportunities, allowing them to easily massacre their rivals in the same city!
