Golden Greenery

Chapter 172 It’s a matter of respect to abandon the side road first and do it first

Before the first half ended, Manchester United was already 0:2 behind, and there was no hope of a comeback on the field. People had to worry about whether the match between Mguay would be the 0:5 tragedy of 2010, or the 2011-12 season. The scene where the Premier League No. 1 slaughtered Manchester United.

Manchester City's complete victory in the first half was also Guardiola's complete victory over Mourinho in terms of tactical details and personnel.

Without the great killer Aguero, Guardiola made the most reasonable arrangement with the only three serious forwards on hand.

Iheanacho joined Manchester City in 2014. Because he did not have a labor certificate, he was arranged to spend a year with the New York Red Bulls of the Major League Baseball. After returning to the team last season, he scored 14 goals for Manchester City on all fronts, including 8 goals in the Premier League and a hat trick in the League Cup. His performance was amazing.

Now 20 years old, Iheanacho and Manchester United 1 are the two Manchester ‘Princes’.

Iheanacho, who is known as the 'New Kanu', has considerable scoring ability, but Guardiola made him a tactical center on the court today who focuses on stirring up and supporting. At the same time, Spanish striker veteran Nolito is also the same. Tactical winger.

Manchester City's real terminator today is Sterling, who is full of happiness factors, and Tintin and Silva hidden in the midfield. Although Sterling did not act arrogantly, Tintin De Bruyne contributed a world-class performance in the first half.

Guardiola's tactical intentions were almost 100% realized.

On the other hand, Mourinho is not good. He simply seems to have no tactical intention.

Uncle Psy is not a rookie, he is a master tactician as famous as Guardiola. He is a veteran. How could he be so amateur?

No matter how good the tactics are, they must be implemented by the players. If the players don't play well, everything will be in vain. On the surface, Manchester United's two goals conceded were entirely the fault of centre-backs Bailly and Blind. They are indeed responsible for a lot, but the underlying reason why Manchester United lost control is today's two wingers Mkhitaryan and Lin. Gad is talking nonsense.

Ibrahimovic is at the front, and Rooney is behind him as a mixture of attacking midfielder and shadow striker. Lingard and Mkhitaryan on both sides are actually doing the work of Real Madrid's Ronaldo and Di Maria in the 2012-13 season.

There is no doubt about the strength of Mkhitaryan, who has the biggest nose in football. At the age of 27, he is the number one star in the history of Armenian football, and his status is similar to that of Zhuo Yang and China. This summer, he also transferred back from Dortmund to Manchester United for a worth of 42 million.

The rhythm and style of the Premier League are very different from the Bundesliga. Especially for players like Mkhitaryan who already have their own playing style, it will take some time to adapt. In Manchester United's previous three consecutive Premier League wins, Mkhitaryan came on as a substitute in the second half of all three games, so it stands to reason that he should have almost adapted.

I didn’t expect it to be the first time I debuted.

Moreover, he was entrusted with an important task by Mourinho on such an important occasion as the Manchester City Derby, but Mkhitaryan's performance was a disaster, with no heads up and various mistakes. The offense cannot provide output points, and the defense frequently loses its position. As a result, Valencia, who played right back today, did not dare to raise his legs to assist.

In this way, Manchester United's right wing is useless.

Mhita is good and useless, but he is working hard at least, while Lingard is another form of pornography, and he is disappearing. In the entire first half, Lingard only touched the ball 13 times, which is less than Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo. To describe him as Ronaldo at this time is to scold the Portuguese King.

If Ronaldo only touches the ball 13 times in 45 minutes, people will die in the locker room at halftime. They will either strangle the magic flute to death or hang themselves.

The sense of existence is as thin as the ozone layer above the Antarctic. Lingard, like Mkhitaryan on the right, also cheated Luke Shaw behind him who is known for his assists.

In this way, Manchester United's left wing will be useless.

In the first half, Manchester United was willing to take advantage of both sides.

In addition, Fellaini, who is a meat grinder in the midfield, was exposed to the shortcomings of slow turning, slow speed, small coverage, and poor ability to control and deliver the ball in front of Manchester City's quick passing. The result was that only two players could play. The centre-back takes all the blows head on.

In this case, is it strange that Manchester City is 2:0?

In the first half, Manchester United only relied on three men, Ibrahimovic, Rooney, and Pogba, two old and one young, to support themselves, trying to create some containment and counterattack for Manchester City. But the three of them come from three different countries, and this season is the first time in their lives that they are united together, and they need to be familiar with each other's routines.

Football is a sport that most reasonably combines the individual heroism of stars with the team. In the first half, Guardiola won the team, but the three men of Manchester United were not convinced.

In the 43rd minute, the furious Boba forced a breakthrough in the midfield. His arrogant physical fitness almost knocked the Brazilian Fernando to pieces, which almost reminded him of the unreasonable Shi Xiaozhu on the 1:7 day at the Mineiro Athletic Stadium the year before. .

David Silva knocked down Boba from the side, which saved Fedora from pain. Silva, Ding Ding and Feiniao are currently Manchester City's Habaib.

Silva received a yellow card and Manchester United received a free kick near the frontcourt.

Rooney swung the football backwards and landed two meters outside the small penalty area. Manchester United's big men such as Fellaini, Ibrahimovic and Pogba were all ambushing there.

In the last round of the league against West Ham, goalkeeper Caballero caused Manchester City to concede the ball due to his slow attack. Bravo will not make the same mistake. His strength is to hit the spot.

As soon as the ball arrived, Bravo flew high into the air and captured the ball above everyone's heads. It was so majestic.

When landing, Bravo's arm hit teammate Stones' shoulder, and he quickly let go.

The players at the drop point were crowded like koi fish in a pond. The longest one used its super flexibility and coordination to volley through the gap between the mermaids, and the football was directly blasted into the top net.

Ibrahimovic made a contribution, and Manchester United regained one point before the end of the first half, 1:2.

The game still has to be played.

At halftime, all Manchester United substitutes were called back to the locker room by Mourinho, and half of Manchester City's side also went back, leaving only Zhuoyang, youth team player Garcia, and substitute goalkeeper Caballero to warm up on the field. .

This also shows that Manchester United will have a big change in the opening of the second half, and Manchester City will basically have nothing to do with Zhuo Yang. He is here today just to make up for the presence.

But even so, some people refused to let him quietly accept the worship amidst the noisy cheers. Beckham came down from the VIP stand and forcibly chatted with Zhuo Yang.

Beckham was the one who really made his presence felt. When he walked into the venue, he supported Sir Alex Ferguson respectfully and looked like he respected the elders, cherished the young and was filial to his younger generation. Without even thinking about it, he knew that there would be rave reviews in the newspapers tomorrow.

In fact, Ferguson doesn't need anyone to support him at all. He has grown old but has not yet reached that point. When Beckham helped him, it looked like he was about to die. The old man was very reluctant, but he couldn't push Beckham away in public. Do you still need the demeanor of an old jazz and an old gentleman?

Old Trafford staged a scene of deep love between master and apprentice and father and son Qiao Zi.

Beckham, who was wearing a suit and leather tie, hugged Zhuo Yang, who was wearing a short game jersey, warmly on the edge of the field and waved to the stands.

10 minutes later, Manchester United and Manchester City changed their faces in the second half.
