Daniel. James was also stunned when he finished shooting, this volley he was completely blinded, Mendy was less than a meter behind him, there was no time to stop the ball, so there was such a kick, and the kick was slightly deflected, coupled with Robertson's power when passing, which caused this weird arc, it can be said that under the same circumstances, let him shoot a hundred times, he may not be able to shoot such a beautiful shot.

However, he reacted quickly, and immediately turned and rushed under the south stand of the red stadium, raising his fists and swinging them vigorously.

The South Stand, which was full of die-hard fans of the Red Rebels, boiled, and they themselves were Manchester United fans turned to support FC United, and they had a hatred of Manchester City with derby, and it was simply cool to be able to score such a beautiful goal as the city's sworn rival in the Premier League.

Lu Wei also waved his fist excitedly into the Manchester air, and then laughed.

"We're lucky."

Although Lu Wei made a very detailed tactical arrangement for this game before the game, and it was also the core of the game to catch the loopholes in the backfield when the opponent attacked while guarding closely, but so early on to make Manchester City players anxious to attack, so that there is such a big gap between the back line and the front court, he did not expect at all, you know that this is FC United after being pressed by Manchester City for more than 20 minutes to shoot ah.

Lu Wei's original idea was to defend with all his might in the first half, try to delay time, and then rely on physical superiority in the second half to try to score goals with a wave of attack, FC United's main players are much younger than Manchester City, and the average age of the first team is only 22.5 years old, they are the youngest of all Premier League teams.

Now, FC United have taken the lead ahead of schedule, Steele looked at Lu Wei, the meaning on his face was obvious, or continue to defend?

"Defense? That's for sure, our goal in the first half was to defend, not to mention we're ahead now.

Lu Wei stood up from the dugout, called Robertson, who was running to his half to celebrate the celebration, and whispered a few words in his ear.

"Tell everyone, continue to defend, including Ilvin and Gabriel also have to participate in the defense of the midfield, they have better foot skills and can control the ball, let Daniel alone in front, go and tell him that he has only one task left in this game, that is, to be at the front, so that several defenders of Manchester City dare not easily step forward to assist, this is his task. Finally, no matter how Manchester City's attacking players change positions back and forth, they must guard their own area of responsibility, no matter how they pass the ball, our own defense cannot be chaotic!

Robertson nodded vigorously, although the game has only lasted more than twenty minutes, but he has already felt the pressure of Manchester City's smooth passing football, and the striker can retreat to participate in the defense, of course, it will be good news on the back line.

Daniel. James's goal just now was enough for Manchester City to pay attention, and the only person in the Manchester City backline who could keep up with his speed was Kyle. Walker, now Walker did not dare to easily leave the backcourt to let the DJ sprint, and the other three defenders had limited assist ability, Daniel a goal not only caught the Manchester City defender by surprise, but also made Manchester City's attack one less line.

After leading by one goal, FC United's tactics have not changed much, the distance between the front, center and back lines is still compressed to a small extent, everyone has their own duties, resolutely guarding their area of responsibility, dividing the troops to kill Manchester City's most threatening De Bruyne and two wingers, while shrinking the box, so that Aguero can not find any opportunity to get the ball in the box, and both forwards have also retreated to the midfield to assist in the defense, ensuring that the midfield has enough manpower to interfere with Manchester City's pass.

In fact, from the very beginning of the game, FC United did this, which seems normal in the eyes of Manchester City fans, all teams are going to be beaten when they meet us, but when FC United are ahead, this style of play is extremely intrusive in their eyes.

So after the re-kick-off, there were boos in the Manchester City fan group, protesting FC United's ugly football, and FC United fans are not used to them, usually have long seen this group of blue-clad unpleasant, every time FC United successfully cut off the football, they will let out deafening cheers to suppress each other's boos.

Lu Wei put his hands around his chest and sat expressionlessly in the coach's dugout, no matter how threatening Manchester City organized, he didn't even raise his eyebrows, and his confident posture made people have to admire his calmness, after all, in football, the 1:0 score is the most unsafe, not to mention the opponent is Manchester City.

However, Lu Wei believes in his players, and also believes that FC United begin to defend at full strength, even Manchester City, can not easily score.

Now Manchester City's front-court attack is not as mercury-stricken as in the next few years, Gundogan has just moved to a season, Sterling and Sane, although they are in their prime, but some of the ball handling is still too frizzy, David. Silva is getting older, Yaya. Toure is on the verge of retirement, Fernandinho has little role in attack, the two full-backs have only been in the team for more than two months, and they are not very close to their teammates.

Manchester City's most important attacking points this season are actually Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero, and now that FC United have set their sights on these two men, coupled with other players protecting the edge of the box, Lu Wei believes that even Pep Guardiola will not find a good way to overthrow such a bus.

Do you pass high balls on the wing? Dzeko went to Roma last year and you let Sergio Aguero and Jesus, who are only 1.73m and 1.75m tall, take headers in the box with Harry Maguire and Tarkovsky? Then it's better to let Zhang Guowei concentrate on being funny.

Long shot? It's okay, as long as you have the space and time to shoot, Hayden, Matuidy and McKim are not bad at midfield running, and the first two years were under Jermaine. Jenas' McKim has become a full-fledged B2B midfielder, and with Matuidi's arrival this season giving him more experience and skill in the game, McKim will undoubtedly have a better future than he has ever been.

As for short pass penetration? Barcelona once played 89% of the terrifying possession rate when playing Celtic in the Champions League, but the result was that Celtic won 2-1, and in front of the tight iron barrel formation, they could only constantly pour their feet on the perimeter, in which case it is very difficult to form an effective attack through penetration.

Even if you have a lot of schemes, in the face of this situation, I am afraid there is nothing to do, it is best to live the whole life in the second half, and let the fans make fun of it after the game.

If it was a draw, Guardiola would have had the patience to wait for the goal to arrive, but today luck was once again on FC United's side, and after taking the lead with a sudden counterattack and an incredible volley, even Guardiola couldn't figure out how to break the goal on the red court for a while.

FC United's defense is not a bus, you can break through it, their defense is a city wall, an iron wall with a thickness of 20 meters! While FC United's regular players played a Europa League game just three days ago, Manchester City also played a Champions League game four days ago.

Moreover, FC United's medical team and the combination of traditional Chinese medicine technology is very mature, they will develop the best recovery training according to the physical condition of the players, such as McKim and Robertson, even if they do not stop sprinting for 90 minutes, they have enough physical strength to complete.

Lu Wei did not intend to make any mistakes for Guardiola to take advantage of, at least throughout the first half, FC United did not make any mistakes defensively, and when all the players were highly concentrated, some bizarre low-level mistakes rarely appeared.

When referee Craig Parson blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Lu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and applauded the players before walking back to the dressing room.

Using the meticulous training and detailed arrangement before the game, as well as the strict implementation of the tactics he laid out, FC United completely contained Manchester City's attack in the first half and luckily took the lead, and what he had to do in the second half was to carry this defense to the end.
