Chapter 373 The Fierce Peak Battle
A few minutes ago, Fernandinho and De Bruyne had just experienced the impact of Xia Xing, and now they are coming again!

The two of them were hit and staggered, almost falling to the ground!

But even if he chased back, it was too late!
Xia Xing has swept past like a storm!

At this point there are only a few defensive players left!

In the penalty area, the double central defenders Otamendi and Kompany looked at each other and made an instant decision.

Otamendi goes up and Kompany defends!

This is because Ibrahimovic is in the penalty area, and his threat is greater than Xia Xing.

It's the City captain's trade-off.

But he still underestimated Xia Xing.

At this moment, Xia Xing's threat is definitely greater than Ibrahimovic!
Xia Xing rushed away from the defense, facing Otamendi who was up for grabs, he suddenly changed direction with a horizontal pull!
Otamendi didn't expect Xia Xing to be so fast!
In the tactical training class before, Manchester City carefully studied the video of Manchester United's game, and even watched the game video of Xia Xing, Ibrahimovic and other players in the previous team.

And Xia Xing had played against Manchester City for several seasons before.

They knew how fast Xia Xing was.

But unexpectedly, Xia Xing's speed is faster now!
No, not just faster, but more flexible movements!

Whether it's the calf or the ankle, the shaking speed is faster, and it's more dexterous to pass people!

It's as if, Ronaldo's flexible thigh swing is suddenly superimposed on Messi's agile calf and ankle!

Otamendi was directly shaken away!
He rushed up just now, intending to make a living!

Fight your body!
But I didn't expect Xia Xing to use his excellent dribbling to pass him!
There is a gap in front of Xia Xing!
Both Manchester City's full-backs were restrained by Rooney and Mkhitaryan, unable to move forward!

Xia Xing set foot!

Diagonal pass?

It's a diagonal pass!
The moment Xia Xing was about to shoot, he found that Kompany had shoveled!

In front of him, a human wall was formed!
Moreover, Kompany's burly body not only blocks low-level shots, but even ordinary shots may be blocked!

Although Xia Xing has excellent skills and can hit the top corner, he still has better choices!

Just pass it diagonally to Ibrahimovic!
Pausing for a while, waiting for Kompany's sliding shovel to pass, Xia Xing's diagonal pass went straight to Kompany's head!
When Kompany slid over, the ball also flew over his scalp!

Go straight to Ibrahimovic!

nice shot!

Ibrahimovic was overjoyed!

Facing Guardiola, no one looks forward to scoring goals more than him!
Step back a little and swing your legs in place!
Blast!

The ball blasts into the near corner!

It was too close to the goal, and the goalkeeper Bravo had no time to react!

"The ball went in!

"Ibrahimovic's shots are extremely powerful and domineering!
"Not to mention Bravo, even if Yashin is on the field, this shot can't be saved!

"Great shot!

"Before this shot, Xia's passing was world-class!

"Even more domineering than Ibrahimovic's shot!
"Xia caught the ball in the middle and suddenly went forward!

"Neither Fernandinho nor De Bruyne could guard him, he knocked him away!

"Want to close the door to defend?
"It can't be closed at all!

"And against Otamendi,
"Xia directly chose to overcome rigidity with softness!
"The dexterous ankle shakes, pulls horizontally, and directly shakes away the opponent's press!

"And when Kompany shoveled, Xia made a decisive diagonal pass!

"The ball skimmed the Manchester City captain's head!
"All Ibrahimovic has to do is shoot from spot!

"Xia definitely deserves more than half of the credit for this goal!

"1 to 0!

"In the case of Manchester City's continuous onslaught to no avail,

"Manchester United fought back!
"One hit to the enemy!"

One hit, yes, that's it.

At this time on the pitch, the Manchester United players cheered and hugged excitedly!
So cool!
Just being suppressed for more than ten minutes, Manchester United players are under tremendous pressure.

Seems like the ball could drop at any moment.

However, Xia Xing's breakthrough created a murderous opportunity!
Mourinho on the sidelines was also very excited!
This is awesome!

This is the Manchester United he is looking forward to!
Solid defense, sharp offense!
In this tactic, Xia Xing is the absolute core!
No matter in the organization in defense or the sharp advance in offense, Xia Xing is a world-class performance!

awesome!
As long as you continue to hold on, this game will be won!
On the other side of the pitch, though, Guardiola didn't show much frustration.

It's just a goal conceded, it's nothing.

There is still time for the game.

As a world-class coach, he has great confidence in his team.

The game restarted, and Manchester City still had the initiative.

Xia Xing still retreated appropriately, and did not press too far.

He strictly implemented Mourinho's tactical requirements.

Two consecutive defenses have destroyed Manchester City's offense.

This made Mourinho on the sidelines even more overjoyed.

Let me just say, as long as Manchester United has Xia, all champions have a chance!
However, he was still a little worried.

This Manchester United offensive line is good, the midfield line is also very strong, but the defense line is average.

Bailey, who he fancyes, still needs to continue to run in and adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

The other defenders are only Premier League defenders and do not have the world's top strength.

But Manchester City's opponent is not at the Premier League level. They have the strength of a world-class team.

So from the beginning to the present, the reason why the team has not conceded a goal is mainly because of the strong interception ability of the midfielder and goalkeeper De Gea.

Several defenders just performed quite well.

Under Manchester City's continuous onslaught, can they keep a clean sheet?

Soon, the Manchester United defense answered Mourinho.

In the 25th minute of the game, 10 minutes after Manchester City conceded a goal, they created another good chance.

During this period of time, they have been constantly passing and controlling, trying to find Manchester United's defensive loopholes.

But has not found a suitable passing space.

However, the continuous pass and control kept Manchester United in a high-pressure state.

De Bruyne sent another wonderful pass!

Sterling on the right pulled the ball out and broke through to the bottom line again!
Ashley Young pressed and defended fiercely!
Sterling couldn't cut inside and chose to pass back!
Aguero retreated to the penalty area line!
Receiving the ball with his back, the ball is under his feet!

Smalling, who was behind him, quickly rushed up!
Aguero didn't hesitate at all, he kicked his heel!
The ball passed Smalling!

Smalling missed it!

Aguero goes around and catches the ball!
Take a volley!

The ball hits the near corner!

"The ball went in!

"It was a fantastic shot!
"De Bruyne's passing is incredible!

"Sterling is also very decisive in pulling the side, and the inverted triangle pass is simply neat!
"Aguero holds the ball with his back and the nimble heel strike is the finishing touch!

"Catch the ball around and kick the volley!

"De Gea can't do anything!
"This cooperation reflects the wonderful pass control of Manchester City!

"1 to 1!

"The two sides are back on the same starting line again!

"This game was really exciting!
"Fast and fierce peak battle!
"This is the most exciting contest since the start of the Premier League this season!"
