Chapter 374

The most exciting contest since the start of the Premier League this season, there is nothing wrong with this sentence.

If you just look at the process of this game, maybe some people will question it.

After all, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams also played well.

However, combining the pre-match public opinion battle, the atmosphere exaggerated by the media, and the grievances and entanglements between different personnel on the court, this game is definitely the most exciting and the most anticipated.

And now, the trend of the game is also very exciting.

After less than 30 minutes, the score was 1-1.

This score is not dazzling, but the contest between the two sides is absolutely exciting.

The offensive and defensive rhythms of the two sides are very fast, and the wonderful defenses, passing, passing and shooting continue to flow, making the fans very enjoyable to watch.

In the live broadcast room, Carragher watched the live information of the game.

"The ratings for this game have reached their peak in recent seasons.

"To top the Premier League, yes.

"If the collision of a few more giants can reach this level,
"Then the broadcast fee for the Premier League will have to go up again!"

Alan Shearer also nodded.

"That's right, whether it's the pre-match public opinion or the atmosphere,
"It's still the pace of the game, it's all very exciting,
"Before the game, some people worried that Mourinho would put the bus,
"But look now, Manchester United's offensive is still very sharp,
"M Moser Manchester United don't pursue the number of attacks, they pursue the offensive efficiency."

Alan Shearer is right.

In this game, Mourinho insisted that the players hold firm, and then they must seize the offensive opportunity.

For example, in the first half, although Manchester United's number of offenses and shots were far less than Manchester City's,

But they are still evenly matched with Manchester City, and they scored first.

That's hard to come by.

At this time, it has come to the 40th minute of the game, and the first half is coming to an end.

But at this moment, both sides did not slack off, but the offensive rhythm rose again!
Manchester City's continuous passing is still handed over to Aguero.

This time Smalling made no mistake, he kicked ahead of time, knocked Aguero away, and broke the ball.

Aguero fell to the ground and raised his hands high, protesting to the referee!
He is a foul!

It's a penalty!

But the referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue!

But the huge impact pushed him away!

It's Xia Xing!
He's gone fast!

Squeeze Sania aside, he has the ball!
At this time, there is a lot of panic in front of Manchester City!

The defensive midfielder Fernandinho quickly retreated!
Central defender Otamendi also came up!

Two people pinch defense!

Facing the impact, Xia Xing decisively cuts inside and dribbles the ball!
Fernandinho and Otamendi are inseparable, continue to suppress!

The two thought to themselves, no matter how strong you are, you can't get past the two of us attacking back and forth!

However, Xia Xing didn't intend to surpass others this time!
He pulled the ball in to the middle to create opportunities for his teammates!
At this moment, his ankle flicked!
The ball quickly flew to the left!

"The shot was crisp and the ball went into the net!

"2 to 1!

"One more goal for Manchester United and they are leading again!

"Today's Red Devils are really energetic!"

On the sidelines of the pitch, the captain of Manchester United jumped up excitedly!
Waving your fists, enjoying the joy of scoring goals!
Every time he breaks the goal of Manchester City, he is very happy!

So happy!

The nearest Ibrahimovic rushed up and hugged Rooney tightly!
Other teammates also ran over and formed a group.

But Rooney still grabbed Xia Xing who was outside the crowd.

"xia! Your pass is amazing!"

"Captain, your shot is so handsome!"

"Hahahaha! I really like you more and more!"

The Manchester United players are huddled together, and the Manchester City players are a little depressed.

This game is a little different from what I imagined.

Guardiola said before the game that Manchester United's defense is average and will definitely be able to penetrate.

But I didn't expect this opponent to be so difficult...

After the re-kick-off, Manchester City also played a little frustrated.

In the last few minutes of the game, they obviously lost their energy, and finally ended 1-2 in the first half.

With a one-goal lead, the Manchester United soldiers returned to the dressing room excitedly.

But as soon as he returned to the locker room, Mourinho was waiting for them with a livid face.

"Boys, you played well in the first half, especially the cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt, which was very good.

"But I must remind you that your wing defense is not good!

"Although we defended Sterling and Nolito and didn't allow them to score,
"But still couldn't defend their crosses,
"Especially Sterling, he's too active on the right, it's just not going to work.

"Ashley Yang, you have to stare at him,

"Even if you lose an offensive opportunity, you can't give him a chance!
"Xia in front of you, I don't want him to retreat too far,

"I want him to be able to play offensively.

"So in the second half of the game, you must go all out to defend well!"

Mourinho's words were very serious, which made Ashley Young a little confused.

I defended pretty well in the first half, why do you say that about me?
Even a little unconvinced in my heart.

But after all, in the locker room, facing the head coach, there was still no argument.

"Okay, boss."

Ashley Young agreed to come down.

When he returned to the court in the second half, he didn't care too much in his heart.

Isn't it just Sterling, that's all, this game is in a mediocre state.

But unexpectedly, just after the start of the second half, he suffered a serious injury!
Manchester City's midfield pass, a sudden pass!
It's a direct pass from De Bruyne!

Hit the gap between Ashley Young and Bailey!

At this time, Sterling quickly advanced, bypassed Ashley Young, and received the ball!
This made Ashley Young unexpected!

He also made plans for Sterling to go sideways, but he didn't expect to rush directly into the penalty area!
Ashley Young is out of position!
Bailey made a quick move, but Sterling kicked in first!
Low shot to the near post!
The ball crashed into the net!

2 is better than 2!
