Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

The game was a big success, and the two teams played well.

Three days after playing Liverpool, Manchester City went to Old Trafford to challenge their city rivals Manchester United.

In the last game, Van Gaal rotated a lot of main players, just to have a good fight with the old Sir Alex Ferguson in this game.

Even Yang Luo felt that Comrade Old Fan was really tough.

This round of the FA Cup is also interesting. The top four teams in the Premier League are fighting against each other, and the two Manchester City giants and the two London giants are meeting on a narrow road.

In this game, Sir Alex Ferguson also sent out all the main players, the classic 442 formation, and the new aid Quaresma and Ayala also appeared in the starting lineup.

And Manchester City also sent all the main players. It is worth mentioning that Eto'o, who returned from the African Cup, is still sitting on the bench.

Before the game, Lineker, who got the starting lineup, couldn't help but comment: "This was originally just an FA Cup, but I didn't expect both teams to bring out their strongest lineups. It seems that both teams attach great importance to this game."

Alan Hansen raised his eyebrows: "To be honest, I think Mr. Ferguson is a bit unwise. Now that the schedule is so tight, choosing to fight Manchester City hard in this FA Cup may affect their league and Champions League games."

Lineker also agreed: "Indeed, Manchester United still has hope of winning the championship, and they should make a choice about this."

At this time, the coaches and players of both sides entered the field.

Van Gaal shook hands with the old Sir Alex, and there was something meaningful in his eyes.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Both sides are coaches who are very good at wing attacks, and their competition is naturally placed on the wing.

In the sixth minute, Scholes got the ball in the middle.

Seeing that Makelele had already pressed up, he took a look and directly kicked a long pass.

His long pass was like a cheat, going straight to the left!

Giggs understood, turned on the small motor under his feet, and flew towards the landing point of the football.

The first landing point of the ball hit two meters in front of Giggs, but the ball did not rush forward after bouncing off the ground, but obviously slowed down, as if waiting for Giggs' arrival.

Giggs smiled slightly, the old man's pass was really powerful!

He easily stopped the ball, then took advantage of the situation to dribble away Sun Jihai, and then followed by another dribble, killing to the bottom line!

Sun Jihai was completely shaken by his two moves and could only watch Giggs go away!

Giggs looked at the distribution of people in the penalty area, and then kicked the ball directly!

At this time, Stam and Distin were already fighting with Saha and Van Nistelrooy in the penalty area. They blocked each other and tried their best to prevent each other from jumping.

But Saha suddenly rushed forward and took the opportunity to take Stam away.

Van Nistelrooy leaned back first, then suddenly jumped up!

Distin was hit by Van Nistelrooy, and his jump was a little slower. When he jumped again, he found that Van Nistelrooy had occupied the commanding heights!

At this time, Giggs's cross was delivered, and Van Nistelrooy stretched his strength to head the ball, and the football hit the goal heavily!

With such a close header, Van der Sar had no chance to catch it!

The football hit the goal without any suspense!

One to zero, Manchester United got a dream start at home!

The fans at Old Trafford cheered immediately, as if they saw a big victory coming!

Manchester City, who were behind, suddenly woke up, and they stepped up the pressing in the middle, making it difficult for Scholes to kick the ball comfortably.

As a dealer in the middle, Scholes, once restricted, Manchester United can only create threats through transmission from the flanks.

But at this time, Manchester United's problems were exposed.

Because they are one-hoofed monsters.

Quaresma on the right was obviously not on the same channel as other players. His several breakthroughs failed, but Manchester City took the opportunity to counterattack several times.

In desperation, Manchester United's attack could only continue to develop on the left.

But with Sun Jihai's hard struggle and Essien's active defense, his attack was not so smooth.

And Manchester City took the opportunity to launch a counterattack!

In the 23rd minute, Sun Jihai intercepted Giggs's ball and passed it directly to Ronaldo.

After Ronaldo got the ball, he started to accelerate directly, and Phil Neville rushed up to intercept him.

But Ronaldo had seen Ronaldinho coming to meet him, so he did not choose to break through, but gave the ball to Ronaldinho and played a two-pass with him.

A cooperation!

Such a simple cooperation immediately threw Phil Neville away!

C Ronaldo began to dribble towards the bottom line!

Ferguson on the sidelines looked at his figure, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

It would be great if he was one of my players!

But this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, because C Ronaldo had already reached the edge of the penalty area.

He looked at Mr. Tony in the penalty area and kicked the ball directly to the middle!

At this time, C Ronaldo's footwork had made great progress compared to before, and the ball found Mr. Tony very accurately!

Wes Brown, who was 1.85 meters tall, and Ayala, who was 1.77 meters tall, had limited interference with Mr. Tony. Mr. Tony, who had fully jumped, stretched out his head to attack the goal!

Goalkeeper Howard stretched out his hand in despair, but there was no way to stop the ball from entering the goal!

One to one, Manchester City tied the score!

This goal was similar to Manchester United's previous goal, both were simple bottom passes, and then a powerful center forward made a fatal blow!

Van Gaal clapped his hands with satisfaction.

However, his goal was not to tie the game, but to continue attacking and win!

So he waved to the players and continued to attack!

In the 33rd minute, Manchester City once again intercepted the ball in the midfield.

After Essien got the ball, he chose to dribble forward.

Ronaldinho also immediately understood and started running to the left to open up space for Essien.

At this time, Manchester City already had five attacking players in the frontcourt, and Manchester United's defenders suddenly didn't know who to defend.

Essien dribbled the ball all the way to the 30-meter area, and helpless Wes Brown took a big step forward to stop him.

But the Ghanaian buffalo did not continue to stick to the ball, but directly handed the ball to Ronaldinho.

After Ronaldinho got the ball at the top of the arc, he made a lob pass, and Robben on the left quickly inserted and swept across the penalty area before the defender!

Mr. Tony was entangled by Ayala at this time, and it seemed that he could not grab the ball in the penalty area.

But he suddenly slipped and let the ball go!

On the path of the football, a sky blue black and strong appeared!

Essien!

After passing the ball, he went straight to the penalty area!

At this time, there were no defenders around him. He pushed the ball lightly with his arch of his foot, and the ball went straight to the dead corner of the goal!

Howard hurried to the ground, but he couldn't reach the ball!

The ball hit the net!

2 to 1, Manchester City overtook the score!
