Football King Bale

After beating Bayer Leverkusen 5:2 at home and ushering in a good start to the Champions League, Manchester United has no chance to breathe, because this weekend, they will visit the Etihad Stadium to challenge the local rivals Manchester City. The league's biggest championship rival.

Manchester United fans discovered that at the beginning of the new season, Manchester United started the death schedule mode.

The encounter with Swansea in the first round of the league was not a good one, but the team still won a 5:1 away victory. However, in the remaining three games in August, Manchester United first faced off against Manchester United at Anfield. There was a fierce battle with the archrival Liverpool, followed by back-to-back games with the blue team Chelsea within a week.

After finally winning three consecutive UEFA Super Cups thousands of kilometers away in Eastern Europe, it was time for the national team to compete again. As a major player in international football, Manchester United's Carrington training base was mostly empty during those two weeks.

Fortunately, God bless, not only did Manchester United players perform well during this international match day, but no player suffered major injuries.

After the players returned to the club, they first met Crystal Palace. The promotion from the Premier League gave the team a temporary reprieve, but then came the Champions League game, and they faced the biggest competitor in the group.

Manchester United's players are indeed strong enough. After only three days of rest, they still relied on their home court advantage to defeat the pharmaceutical company with a score of 5:2.

However, the Devil's schedule does not end there. With less than five days of rest, they will soon face two super-intensive games.

On the afternoon of September 22, they visited Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, and three days later on September 25, they faced Liverpool's challenge at Old Trafford.

Although this is a third round match of the League Cup, because the opponent is their mortal enemy Liverpool, it is destined that Manchester United will have to fight with all their strength.

Facing a mortal enemy, it is impossible to surrender easily no matter what!

………………

After the start of the new season, the Manchester City duo, who had occupied the top two spots in the Premier League standings for two consecutive seasons, were unable to satisfy the fans who supported the team with their performance in the league. After four rounds, Manchester United was only ranked fourth in the league, and Manchester City's performance was even worse. Pellegrini's team only had a record of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, ranking sixth in the Premier League with 7 points.

Different from Manchester United's continuous encounters with strong opponents, Manchester City's four opponents are all middle and lower-tier teams, Newcastle, Cardiff City, Hull City and Crystal Palace. One was 16th in the Premier League last season, and the remaining three teams They are all newly promoted teams this season. This schedule is friendly enough for Manchester City. However, the team led by the quality engineer stumbled and faltered.

At a time when both sides are in desperate need of a victory to improve their team rankings and boost team morale, it is not a good thing for the two teams to meet.

After a fierce battle, the result was that the Manchester City duo were left bruised and bruised without tears.

4:4. With such a result, you can imagine how tragic this game was.

In this game, Van Persie was absent due to injury in training, and Welbeck replaced him as center forward.

In the game at the Etihad, Manchester United played well at the beginning. After all, they had less travel than the home team who traveled to the Czech Republic and had one more day of rest.

Only 13 seconds into the game, in the first direct conversation between the captains of the two teams on the field, the Manchester United captain won the victory. Bell successfully counterattacked Kompany in the frontcourt and almost got a chance to hit the goal from a small angle on the left side of the penalty area. Fortunately, the Manchester City captain interfered in time to make up for it.

In the 2nd minute, Manchester United once again had a good opportunity. Rooney passed the ball from the right side of the frontcourt. Heibei slipped on his foot and failed to control the ball, missing an excellent scoring opportunity.

………………

After missing two consecutive good opportunities, Blue Moon, playing at home, stabilized its position, and then took the lead in breaking the deadlock in the 16th minute of the game. Nasri made a wonderful pass with his heel, Kolarov made a pass from the left, and Aguero grabbed the point in the middle of the penalty area and shot a hook to break the net.

1:0,

The home team takes the lead!

Manchester United were naturally unwilling to lag behind. They immediately launched a counterattack and only took 7 minutes to equalize the score.

In the 23rd minute, Bell made a perfect through ball, allowing Rooney to successfully counter the offside, and Joe Hart easily succeeded in picking up Joe Hart in front of the goal, helping Manchester United level the score at 1:1.

Although the rest of the first half was intense, neither side could score another goal.

Just when Manchester United was preparing to end the first half with a draw, in injury time, Manchester City got a corner kick on the right. Nasri took a corner kick, Negredo headed the ball into the goal, and Yaya Toure, who was waiting in front of the goal, used his knee to push the ball into the net. Manchester City took the lead again 2:1.

After Manchester City scored, the referee immediately blew the whistle to end the first half of the game, and Manchester United had to accept the ending of being temporarily behind.

………………

The first five minutes of the second half became a nightmare for Manchester United. They conceded two goals in a row and the score suddenly became 4:1.

Not long after the second half of the game, Pogba dribbled the ball casually in the frontcourt and allowed Manchester City's new aid Fernandinho to steal it. Manchester City launched a quick counterattack and the unsteady Manchester United defense was penetrated. Nasri left. After cutting inside, Negredo cleverly distributed the ball. Negredo turned around from the left side of the penalty area and passed the ball. Aguero followed up and shot past the net.

3:1! The Argentinian striker scored twice in this game.

This conceded goal shocked Pogba and made him emotionally unstable. Bell also noticed Pogba's abnormality and was about to find an opportunity to chat with him at the dead ball, but the French teenager made another mistake.

In the 50th minute, his rash attack in the midfield failed, but instead Navas made a breakthrough against him. The Spanish sports car immediately sent a cross from the right, and Nasri hit the target from behind, rewriting the score to 4:1!

The Etihad Stadium instantly turned into a sea of ​​joy, and Blue Moon fans celebrated the team's good situation. They may even set a record for the largest win in the Premier League era!

Ten years ago, in the 28th round of the Premier League in the 2003-2004 season, Manchester City, which was still at the Maine Road Stadium at the time, defeated Manchester United 4:1.

But now the game has only lasted 50 minutes, and the Manchester City people still have almost a full half of time to rewrite the score.

………………

Manchester United conceded two goals in five minutes. In fact, including the goal conceded at the last moment of the first half, it was actually three goals in five minutes. This made the Manchester United players on the court a little confused.

Especially Pogba, who was directly related to these three goals conceded, was in a mess and had no idea how to play football.

Even Bell was a little distracted. He couldn't understand why Manchester United suddenly collapsed like this.

Could it be that the history that was changed by me just two years ago would appear in this scene?

After all, Jiang is very old. Ferguson realized that the players on the field were abnormal, especially Pogba, who was completely unfit to stay on the field at this moment, so he immediately chose to substitute. The person who was replaced was exactly the performance of this game. Abnormal Pogba.

Even if it caused some temporary blow to Pogba, Ferguson still chose to replace him. Otherwise, Manchester United may be completely defeated in his position in this game!

Giggs came on the bench, Wang Laoji brought Sir Alex Ferguson's latest will, Bell moved to the attacking midfielder position, and Manchester United changed to 442 to return to tradition.

Manchester City, with high morale, continued to attack, and Manchester United's goal was still under constant warning. In the 53rd minute, Navas took the ball from the right, and Van Dijk fell to the ground in time to make a clearance before Negredo, helping the team avoid a dangerous situation.

………………

After Bell appeared in the attacking midfielder position, Manchester United gradually stabilized their position, and then in the 55th minute of the game, they finally played a high-quality offense.

Bale dribbled the ball forward, forcing Manchester City's defense to retreat. Before reaching the Manchester City penalty area, when the Manchester City players planned to attack Bell, Bell suddenly chose to knock the ball to Modric behind him.

Modric received a back-heel pass from Bale without any defense, and immediately chose to split the ball and found Smalling who was running in from the right.

Smalling dribbled the ball forward, and after cooperating with Rooney on the right, he passed the ball low to the center.

After Bale passed the ball to Modric behind him, he did not stop but ran forward into Manchester City's penalty area. At this time, Smalling's ball happened to be passed over.

Near the penalty spot, Bell, who reacted faster, appeared on the path of the ball one step ahead of the Manchester City defenders, and easily succeeded in pushing the shot, changing the score to 2:4.

………………

The game ended with nearly forty minutes, and Manchester United was only two goals behind. This gave them hope of equalizing the score or even reversing the game, and their morale began to rise.

Manchester City naturally did not want the team to stumble when they were leading by a big score, so they also attacked without reservation.

In the rapid transition between offense and defense, the game time passes quickly.

In the 58th minute, Yaya Toure forced his way into the penalty area and his volley shot was blocked but still hit the side net. 2 minutes later, Welbeck dribbled the ball from the left side of the penalty area, opened the space and then volleyed Nastasic. Deflected, Hart confiscated the ball.

In the 62nd minute, Fernandinho tripped Welbeck and fouled. Bell hit the wall with a free kick from outside the arc. In the 66th minute, Welbeck fired from outside and hit the plane. In the 68th minute, Modric arced from the right side of the penalty area. The ball was volleyed over the crossbar by Joe Hart.

Manchester United's offensive is getting stronger and stronger, and Manchester City is gradually being suppressed. Pellegrini saw that the situation was not good and made continuous substitutions. First, Milner was replaced by Navas to strengthen defense, and then Dzeko was replaced by Negredo to add an offensive bridgehead for Manchester City.

The Chilean engineer's substitution quickly saw results. Manchester City gradually stabilized the passive situation, and Dzeko almost helped Manchester City further expand its lead. In the 78th minute, Dzeko dribbled the ball all the way to the top of the key and volleyed, causing De Gea to take the shot. Fortunately, the Manchester United goalkeeper reacted quickly and confiscated the ball.
