Golden Greenery

Although Sterling's joyful and unrestrained shooting made Manchester City slightly regretful, the team still ended the first half with the joyful feeling that the championship was about to be won.

In the locker room, Guardiola didn't even stop him, but Zhuo Yang warned everyone not to sing too loudly. It was not that he was afraid that Manchester United next door would hear about it and trigger another conflict - like the milk war at Old Trafford a few months ago, but he was reminded of the champagne opened in Istanbul by AC Milan in the past.

However, to be honest, even if today is a local derby, even if it is the day of winning the championship, Manchester City's top priority is still the second leg of the Champions League with Liverpool three days later.

The Premier League is already in the bag, and sooner or later it will be gone. The League Cup has been won. In fact, Manchester City's only competitions this season are the Champions League. There is still one game or more, which is related to whether it can be a "little triple crown".

Whether or not Liverpool can achieve a shocking comeback is what Manchester City people are thinking about. Manchester United is just going through the motions today. So everyone didn't care and even had a group fight with each other. In essence, they didn't suffer much that day.

But United care.

They lost a game at home a few months ago, and were provoked at home again. They had not taken advantage of the group fight, and everyone from Mourinho to the players was holding their breath.

The first half was also unlucky. The tactics were completely suppressed by the excited Manchester City. Being behind 0:2 was ugly enough. Not having a shot in 45 minutes was simply shameless.

Especially as the core of the midfielder, Pogba's performance was at the level of a car accident. If he had been replaced by anyone else, he would have been taken down, but his situation is very special.

No matter how ineffective Pogba is at Manchester United, when he returns to the national team, he is a phenomenon and can compete for the Ballon d'Or. Perhaps there is a sense of responsibility, but responsibility cannot simply be used to summarize everything.

Pogba's midfield partner in the national team, N'Golo Kante, has gradually become a demon. The all-round Pogba and Kante have become the most perfect duo. The two are the origins of the 'Five Lions of Madiburg'. It's a small friendship, and it's really heart-warming and comfortable on the field. For an analogy, refer to Zhuo Tuhe, who was once Real Madrid's third midfielder.

In the national team, Pogba can freely display his offensive and defensive talents, and Kante is beside him to support everything. But at Manchester United, Pogba has become Kante who does endless dirty work. It's no wonder he can be happy.

Of course Mourinho knows this. He bought Matic last summer just to liberate Pogba, but he didn't expect Matic to also come to seek liberation. He is neither Kante nor has Kante's abilities.

Mourinho did not replace Pogba, but changed his position from left midfielder to attacking midfielder. He can also be regarded as the backbone of Lu Yuanwai, Lin Huang and Sang Zu.

Mourinho's meaning is very clear: I don't want anything else. If you think you are awesome, just show your thighs for everyone to see.

.

Mourinho didn't want to admit defeat, but after the start of the second half, Sterling almost told him not to admit defeat.

Sane replaced Zhuoyang, perhaps to vent his frustrations over his frustrated performance three days ago. When he came up, he turned Wabushe into a dog.

After several changes, he performed a cruel crotch-picking pass on the Manchester United captain, stopped in the corner of the penalty area to get out of the way of Smalling, who was filling in, and then crossed the arc. Sterling was like a Dongfeng express, and his mission had arrived.

It is almost the same as the ball in the first half, facing De Gea from the same wide shooting angle.

There is also plenty of time for adjustment and preparation, but it is also too high to shame his ancestors.

Guardiola is not cruel to Sterling, he just wants to hit him to death. Zhuoyang didn't despise Sterling, he simply couldn't bear to look at him.

If this goal is scored, 3:0 will be settled; if the goal in the first half is also scored, 4:0...

The score was 2:0. Manchester United escaped again. Sterling was not an undercover agent. We will never understand his happiness.

In fact, there are also problems with Lao Gua's substitutions. Sane, Sterling, and B are all the main ones who go wild on the wings. They can all go to the middle to change positions, but they basically can't make a living in the middle.

As a result, Manchester City's two wingers overlapped in the second half, and the center that directly threatened the goal was always lonely.

In the first half, Manchester United's midfield was severely suppressed. The important reason was that Zhuoyang was too threatening in the middle and Manchester United's waist could not straighten up at all.

In the second half, the sheep were put in the middle, and Pogba, who was already in a good position, was completely free. Don't think that he is really a bastard. He will be among the top five midfielders born in the 1990s in football.

Ten minutes later, Manchester City's excitement finally began to subside. The lack of roots in the middle also made the offense unable to land, and a slight recovery became inevitable. By this time, not only Pogba was alive, but the entire Manchester United midfielder was alive, and Sanchez, who had been disappearing, was also alive.

In the 51st minute, Manchester United successfully counterattacked Zinchenko in the frontcourt. Sanchez received the ball in the corner of the penalty area and passed the ball outside the top of the arc. Pogba followed up and volleyed.

The angle was tricky but not very powerful, but it allowed Ederson to make his first save of the game.

In the 55th minute, Gundogan hit the outside edge of Manchester United's crossbar in the frontcourt, warning not to cause trouble. But his warning was obviously ineffective, De Gea took a goal kick, and Manchester United's offense quickly reached the frontcourt.

Sanchez took the ball with his back from the wing, suddenly wiped the ball and turned around. After consecutively breaking through Delph and Otamendi, he once again passed the ball to the center of the penalty area.

Herrera met the ball in the crowd and hit the ball on his chest. Pogba quickly inserted it and everyone in Manchester City had no time to defend.

The shot pierced Ederson's armpit and Manchester United got one point back, 2:1.

Pogba's anti-offside insertion opportunity is top-notch, and it is a dimensionality-reducing blow to Manchester City's defense.

How do Manchester City, who are waiting for the championship, feel now? I don’t know because they haven’t reacted yet.

After the restart, Sane dribbled blindly from the left and was intercepted by Captain Valerie and Herrera. After passing the ball several times, it came to the feet of midfielder Pogba.

Pogba passed the ball to the right, and then ran straight into the penalty area. The moment he crossed the gap in his ribs, Sanchez passed the ball diagonally just off his feet.

Such an exquisite combination of passing and running instantly tore apart Manchester City's defense that had not yet closed up.

Leaping high from the front in the small penalty area, Pogba's head was higher than Ederson's hands. This guy's physical condition is so enviable.

Not only did he jump high, he also made a gorgeous turn in the air, and finally used the back of his head to rub the football into the goal.

2:2, Pogba scored twice in one minute, and Manchester United equalized the score as soon as the whistle blew.

Even Guardiola and Zhuo Yang didn't understand what was happening. Why was there suddenly no water?

The players on the field were even more confused. The style of the game changed suddenly. What happened?

Feiniao, who has always been as steady as a rock, made a mistake. The first cross pass was passed directly to Sanchez.

Fei Niao chased back and intercepted Sang's leg with the courage to carry a bag of explosives, but was easily shaken away by a fake move. After making the ball, Lin Huang shot an arrow from outside the penalty area that penetrated the clouds and flew long distance before hitting the base of the goal post.

The 25-year-old Jesse Lingard and the 23-year-old Raheem Sterling are both British stars, and this season is also the best season of their careers so far. Happy and sympathetic, Emperor Lin was polite.

2:2, if the score ends with this score, Manchester City will still win the championship today.

Of course, as long as both Lin Huang and Huang Lin agree.
