Chapter 557: Versatile offense and defense!

The moment Rashford scored, the Old Trafford stadium burst into thunderous applause!
Cheers are everywhere!
Rashford, who scored the goal, is a child they trained themselves!
He is very popular in the Manchester United camp.

Now, Rashford goes from the mistake of conceding the ball to the glory of scoring a goal. The difference of a few seconds is the joy from hell to heaven!
Wonderful!

There were cheers all over the place, and Guardiola was absolutely noisy.

At this moment, he did not arrange the players' tactical arrangements.

Speaking of which, Manchester City played well just now and executed his request perfectly.

Although the ball was lost, it was just an accident.

Keep playing and win, no problem.

Guardiola is confident.

But at this moment, he looked at Xia Xing on the court with mixed feelings.

I really like this guy.

He is great.

Not only does he have top-notch defensive abilities, but he also has extremely strong passing skills and even top-notch attacking abilities.

And his physical fitness, speed, and strength are first-rate.

His attitude towards playing football is also very good.

There is Ronaldo's top desire to win, and Messi's humility and low-keyness.

Such a good player is really rare.

Guardiola looked at Xia Xing with more and more eyes...

If I leave Manchester City to go to another team in the future, I will definitely be the first to ask to sign xia!

On the other side, Mourinho was even more impressed by Xia Xing.

I am truly blessed to have such players in the team.

Looking back on the teams I coached in the past, I have never encountered a player like xia.

Lampard, Sneijder, Essien, Cambiaso...

These are all midfielders he likes very much.

And Xia Xing is completely a combination of these people.

Versatile offense and defense!

Able to defend and assist, he just helped the team equalize with a key pass.

You know, he can still shoot.

There will definitely be a chance to help the team score a goal soon!

Just as I was thinking about it, another change occurred on the field.

After Manchester United equalized the score, their momentum obviously increased a lot.

The defense is still solid, but the offense is also unambiguous.

Although not as many troops as Manchester City, the offensive effect is definitely not bad.

In the 38th minute of the game, Manchester City's pass from the wing was intercepted!

This time Smolin made a contribution!

He anticipated Jesus' movement and took the lead to steal the ball!
Valencia grabbed the second point!

Hit the middle!

Xia Xing catches the ball and quickly throws the ball forward to the right!
Valencia has already accelerated!
He rushed up!
As a full-back who is good at assists, his characteristics are very distinctive!
Tough style of play and rapid advancement, Manchester City is in trouble!

Sane returned to defense, but was squeezed away by Valencia!
After receiving Xia Xing's one-two pass, Valencia moved forward very resolutely!

David Silva from the left attacks!

Valencia also used speed to rush past!

The Spanish midfielder's offense is strong, but his defense is average.

Valencia is like no one else!

In the live broadcast room, Alan Shearer became excited!

“Valencia had two in a row!
“The one-on-one coordination between him and xia was really exciting!
"He used his performance to tell his opponents - in Manchester United, if you can play a one-stop game on the wing, there is another one on the right!
"At this moment he has rushed to the edge of the penalty area!
"Manchester City left-back Delph made a crazy move!
“As a defensive player who can hit and hit the ball, Delph is known for his ferocity!

"Valencia didn't act recklessly, he chose to hit him horizontally again!

"Xia again!

“He kept following Valencia’s pace and kept accelerating in the middle!
“Catch the ball again now!

"He glanced down the left wing and Rashford was speeding up!

"But he didn't pass it to him!" Instead, he still passed the ball straight to the right!

"The ball is still coming to Valencia!

"Valencia had already sprinted ahead and got rid of Delph who was a little stunned!
“He rushed into the penalty area and fired a blast from the near post!

"The ball hit the far corner of the goal!
“Ederson can’t do anything!

"The ball went in!

"2 to 1!

"Manchester United finally overtook the score!

“This cooperation is great!

"With only two players, Manchester United completed the fatal blow!
“From the start to now, Manchester City has taken most of the initiative.
"But at this moment, the leading team becomes Manchester United!

"Manchester United is so efficient!"

Manchester United scored and Old Trafford was boiling again!

Even Carragher couldn't help but praise Valencia this time.

"Manchester United just conceded the first goal, and the main reason was due to Valencia.

"Because he was passed by Sane in the penalty area, Sane assisted Jesus to score.

"Valencia cannot shirk responsibility for conceding the goal.

“And now, he has finally made amends and completed his redemption.

"This 33-year-old Ecuadorian veteran is really respectable."

At this moment, Valencia had already rushed towards Xia Xing and hugged the young man ten years younger than him tightly!
He didn't say anything, but he hugged her very hard.

Mourinho on the sidelines also smiled with satisfaction.

It's amazing.

Finally overtaken the score.

The next step will be better.

Although Mourinho told his players before the game that they must win the game, his bottom line is actually a draw.

If we can draw with Manchester City at home, that's acceptable.

After all, they were five points ahead.

But Manchester City is different. They must grab points in this game to narrow the gap.

Therefore, Mourinho took advantage of this difference in mentality to steadily defend and counterattack in this game.

After Manchester United took the lead, Manchester City's next attack became even more fierce.

However, Manchester United was so strong during this period that Manchester City had no chance at all.

The referee blew his whistle and the first half was over.

Manchester United temporarily leads Manchester City 2-1 and the game is about to enter the second half.

During the halftime break, Mourinho only gave instructions to the players, but did not make substitution adjustments. He was quite satisfied with the performance of the players in the first half.

But Manchester City is different.

Guardiola used up two substitutions, removing Delph and Sterling and replacing them with Bernardo Silva and Aguero.

Delph performed poorly in the first half, so he was simply removed and replaced with a midfielder.

Sterling was also sleepwalking and wasted several opportunities. Aguero, who returned from injury, came on as a substitute.

The formation also became 3-4-3.

Guardiola was going to attack hard in the second half.

The effects of these changes were immediate.

Not long after the second half started, Manchester City played exquisite coordination in the midfield.

Bernardo Silva's diagonal pass from the center accurately found the advancing Aguero!

Aguero sprinted quickly and used his speed to wipe out the defense of national team teammate Rojo!
A volley from the penalty area!

De Gea made a goal line rescue and blocked the ball!

Manchester United fans broke into a cold sweat!
It's so dangerous!

Even De Gea's save was a conditioned reflex, and he was very scared.

The power of Argentina's starting forward is truly extraordinary! (End of chapter)
