Football: God-level striker, all teammates lie down

"Pogba's attack this time, he passed the ball to Ibrahimovic, this pass was very beautiful!"

Ibrahimovic, who was advancing, received the through ball and shot in the penalty area.

Otamendi fell to the ground and interfered in time.

The football was very powerful and did not open the angle.

Bravo blocked the ball from the front.

Kolarov cleared the ball with one kick.

Otamendi's defense was not stable and he often missed people.

However, there was only Ibrahimovic in the Manchester United penalty area, and he had no chance to miss people.

This defense was very successful.

Ibrahimovic clenched his fist and grinned.

This shot was a very good opportunity. If he could open a little angle.

He could change the score.

Kante got the ball. Manchester United did not invest much in this attack, so the defensive position was very tight, layered, and there were no loopholes.

He could only slow down the rhythm.

Manchester United's offensive tactics are mainly based on height and speed, and the counterattack is precise and sharp.

It stands to reason that there is a certain restraint against a team like Manchester City that plays a passing and controlling style of play.

Unfortunately, Manchester United only has counterattacks, no defense.

This problem is too big.

Mourinho's tactical system is first of all defense.

As a result, after buying a striker and Pogba, who has strong passing ability, there is no suitable defender.

And Manchester United's frontcourt players have strange personalities, sometimes effective and sometimes not.

Let them shrink their defense, it depends on their willingness.

It's okay if they are willing, but once they are unwilling, the team's defense will have problems.

After Manchester City stole two goals, Manchester United's players became more willing to defend.

Pogba began to retreat and took the initiative to surround Zhao Yi.

Herrera followed Zhao Yi directly, and another midfielder Fellaini was also waiting on Zhao Yi's forward route, ready to block Zhao Yi at any time.

At this time, the defensive strength of the midfield increased.

With Manchester City's current lineup, it is really difficult for anyone in the midfield to stand up and help Zhao Yi.

In the remaining time of the first half, Zhao Yi seemed to disappear.

Manchester City had almost no effective attack.

Manchester United used Rashford's speed and Ibrahimovic's height to launch two quite successful attacks.

"These Manchester United players have both defense and offense, but their attitude is a little poor. If they had played like this earlier, this scene would not have happened!

This attack! Ibrahimovic!"

Rashford received a long pass from Pogba on the wing, accelerated, and directly shook off Delph.

Kolarov quickly filled the position, and Rashford rushed all the way to the bottom line.

When he was about to leave the bottom line, he made a reverse triangle pass back.

In the penalty area, Ibrahimovic forced Otamendi to block his position and stretched out his foot.

This time he pushed to the far corner.

Bravo did not react in time.

In injury time.

Ibrahimovic helped Manchester United score a goal!

Old Trafford exploded instantly.

It still has to be Ibrahimovic.

It still depends on this veteran.

At the most critical moment, the young players of Manchester United were unreliable.

Lingard was invisible for the entire half, and his defense was not good.

In the end, it was still Ibrahimovic who stood up.

Changed the situation.

Manchester United players surrounded Ibrahimovic, celebrated, and returned to the field.

Aguero kicked the ball to Kante.

Manchester City really had no one to organize the attack, so they could only give the ball to Kante.

He and Fernandinho passed the ball twice.

Seeing that the injury time was about to end, he thought about passing the ball back to end the first half.

As a result, Zhao Yi made a lateral run, and Herrera didn't keep up.

Fernandinho kicked the ball past.

Herrera and Fellaini rushed towards Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi turned halfway and made a strong pass with his left foot.

The football passed through the air and passed over Manchester United's back line.

Nolito appeared behind Valencia.

A precise behind-the-back ball!

Valencia turned around immediately, and Nolito shot from a small angle!

The football hit the near post and bounced into the penalty area. Valencia followed very quickly and kicked the ball out of the sideline before Aguero.

Nolito held his head and stared at the goal post.

"Ouch!! Manchester United's defense was distracted at the last moment...

Such a small space was caught by Zhao! It's a pity that Nolito shot the ball... If it was Sterling or Aguero, the score might have changed!"

Guardiola stood on the sidelines and put down his raised fist.

The 18 million may have been wasted.

Fellaini and Herrera were scared and sweating.

Fortunately, Nolito didn't score this goal.

This was considered a calamity.

Then, the referee blew the whistle to end the half-time game.

The players of both sides walked to the locker room.

Nolito expressed his apologies to Zhao Yi, but Zhao Yi didn't say much.However, Nolito's performance must have made Guardiola a little dissatisfied.

Foden has been following Zhao Yi, and the smile on his face has never stopped.

He walked all the way to the locker room, and his eyes never left Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi turned his head and saw Foden grinning.

He couldn't help rubbing Foden's head. This kid is still very spiritual.

He was not afraid at Old Trafford and played quite well.

It's just that his technical level is a little bit worse. After another two or three years of polishing, he should be able to become a qualified starter.

The overall mood of the players on both sides was not very high.

Manchester United fell behind at home, and Manchester City lost the ball at the last moment and missed a good opportunity to expand the score.

During the halftime break, Guardiola once again emphasized the defense against Ibrahimovic and the restriction on Rashford.

In the midfield, he needs Kante to support Zhao Yi.

Share the defensive pressure faced by Zhao Yi. If Kante can't do it, he needs to change players.

De Bruyne, Gundogan, and Silva can all accomplish this task well.

The running positions of Nolito, Foden, and Aguero can also disperse Manchester United's defense and make them dare not surround Zhao Yi all the time.

At the beginning of the second half, Mourinho made a substitution adjustment, and Martial replaced Lingard.

This time Aguero pushed the ball directly to Zhao Yi.

Then he turned around and started sprinting.

This tactic has appeared in Manchester City's previous games.

Using Zhao Yi's long pass, he directly found Aguero who was advancing.

Manchester United responded quickly, Bailly and Smalling closed the door to double-team Aguero, forcing Aguero to slow down.

At the same time, Herrera blocked Zhao Yi, and Fellaini assisted in defense, forcing Zhao Yi to be unable to pass the ball to Aguero.

Zhao Yi pushed the ball out horizontally.

Kante arrived in time.

At the same time, Aguero immediately ran in the opposite direction.

Kante took the ball forward and passed it to Aguero who turned around.

Manchester United's defense was inevitably in chaos.

Fellaini was taken away by Kante, and the two central defenders stuck to Aguero to prevent him from turning successfully.

Herrera kept following Zhao Yi.

Zhao Yi was already one step ahead and blocked Herrera behind him.

At the moment of advancing, Aguero flicked the ball out with his feet.

Zhao Yi took the ball forward.

Herrera had been thrown away, and Smalling could only give up defending Aguero and immediately fill in.

At the same time, Blind on the wing also stood on Zhao Yi's possible passing route.

But he didn't dare to completely block it.

The double team of Herrera and Smalling had not yet been fully formed, and Zhao Yi kicked the ground ball and sent the ball out diagonally.

Smalling raised his leg, the ball was too fast, and he had no time to block it.

He could only turn quickly and rush towards Aguero with the football.

Aguero turned successfully and left Bailey behind.

He held Bailey behind him and followed the ball forward.

When Smalling was about to catch up, he kicked the ball.

The ball shot out.

Wow...

A single shot.

The ball went in.

At the beginning of the second half, Aguero scored a goal.

Manchester City leads Manchester United 3:1 away!
