Before the game started, Manchester City changed a person, the back Fernandinho did not play, directly put on a jacket and sat on the bench, Gundogan changed into a match shirt and stood with the other Manchester City players.

Lu Wei saw this scene and knew that Guardiola was a little anxious, don't we have a trace of counterattack? You think our dagger is only Daniel . Is James alone?

Lu Wei sneered secretly and motioned for Steele to make a gesture to the players.

The FC United players who saw the gesture took the lead in launching an attack after the opening of the second half, Lozano broke through on the wing and distributed the ball to Barbosa, Barbosa adjusted slightly and shot low directly at the front of the box, but although this shot was full of strength, but unfortunately the angle was too right, was firmly held by Ederson in his arms, and after taking a breath, Ederson directly threw the ball and launched an attack.

Soon, Manchester City passed the ball to FC United's half with two or three kicks, but there was still an airtight wall.

Manchester City's advance slowed down slightly, FC United players rushed backwards, Robertson found Sane, Taphnir found Raheem Sterling, Tarkovsky found Sergio Aguero and Hayden set his sights on David. Silva, McKim followed De Bruyne, Matuidi watched Gundogan, and Maguire sat at the back to wait for the opportunity.

And no matter how Manchester City passes, it just can't pass into the box, and there are few stops in midfield, Lozano and Barbosa will rush to press, and City have to continue to pass the ball back to the defenders, continue to back and forth and wait for opportunities.

Isn't this back to the situation in the first half? Guardiola rushed to the opposite coach's dugout and grabbed Lu Wei and asked if his team was a snail and how it could shrink so much.

After Gundogan came on the field, although Manchester City's organizational transmission has increased some speed, but the effect is not great, Sterling and Sane still can't break in, even if people go in, the ball will be released by Robertson and others, and then FC United can also seize the opportunity to play a counterattack, over time, Manchester City's attack has become more and more cautious.

Gundogan midfielder took the ball and looked at the line where he could pass, Matuidi had already pounced on him, Gundogan had to quickly half-turn and pass the ball to De Bruyne, and De Bruyne felt the pressure brought by McKinn behind him, and passed the ball directly to the wing without stopping, Sterling took only two steps and had to stop, although Tavernir is known for his attack, but his defensive ability is not weak, and he can keep up with Sterling's pace.

The final attack ended with De Bruyne's long-range shot, which was still blocked by Maguire with his body, and Robertson next to him immediately took possession of the ball before Sane, then looked up at the situation in front of him, and a big foot kicked the ball far away.

"Keep it beautifully! Keep going!

Lu Wei didn't know when he had already stood up from the coach's dugout, shouting two words from time to time.

No one knew that this was the first time that FC United players had used their bodies to block City's shots, they were like a moving wall, blocking all the football that could fly into the goal, and up front, Daniel. James has been tiptoeing for the opportunity to let Kyle . Walker and the others did not dare to press up and attack.

Lu Wei has a confident smile on his face, this smile can bring more courage to the people around him, although he thinks FC United is unlikely to give Manchester City any chance, but who knows if Manchester City players will suddenly start to go crazy like five years ago, these are world-class stars, a bad luck may lose the good situation.

Watching the players on the field solve and steal again and again, Lu Wei finally made the first adjustment of the half, replacing Lozano with San Maximine, San Maximan's foot technique can consume more time on the counterattack and give the defenders more respite.

Shortly after FC United's substitution, Guardiola also played his final few cards, replacing Kompany and David. Silva, replaced with Jesus and Bernardo. Silva, Manchester City's formation turned into a crazy 334.

Lu Wei also knew that Guardiola was going to attack at all costs, and immediately made a targeted substitution adjustment, and the veteran Baird replaced the goalscoring hero Daniel. James, his only task on the pitch is to fill in Harry Maguire and Tarkovski at centre-back, Manchester City's midfield is full of very flexible players, this wall must be thicker, Lu Wei is planning to carry out the obscenity to the end.

In addition to Ramsdale and St. Maximin, the remaining five of the seven substitutes he brought in this game are defensive players, Baird, Zinchenko, Pinnock, Rice and Grimes, even if Guardiola can play another attacking player, Lu Wei, who holds the last substitution, will change another defender, he is not afraid of the media saying that he is conservative, FC United is a new team in the Premier League, and it is not appropriate to be conservative in the face of the top team in the Premier League.

Besides, FC United are already ahead, and there are only more than ten minutes left in the second half, and it is appropriate to be conservative, even if Manchester City really succeeds in stealing a goal in the end, Lu Wei is acceptable, of course, not letting them score is the first priority.

Jesus and Bernardo. Silva didn't have much trouble when he came on the pitch, and while the two men were excellent, they weren't even top players, and with the likes of Baird and Maguire, several attacks were unsuccessful.

Robertson, who has been running for a whole game, did not follow Silva's breakthrough, but soon, Baird ran over to help him defend, although Baird is 37 years old, but in the game to go all out for more than 20 minutes of physical strength is still there, and experienced he knows when is the most appropriate time to break the ball, a few breakthroughs on the wing can only become a cross, and it just so happens that FC United's central defender is the least afraid of a wide cross.

None of the three pieces that Guardiola had high hopes for had their intended effect and other teams were likely to relax against Jesus and Bernardo. Silva defends, but is it possible that Lu Wei, who was a veteran Premier League fan in his previous life, will ignore it? Are you kidding!

Watching the time pass by minute by minute, Guardiola looked at the players who were still running on the pitch with some silence, he knew that he was going to lose this game again nine times out of ten, and after joining Manchester City last summer, his first goal was to help Manchester City regain the league title, then launch a breakthrough to the Champions League, and finally make Manchester City the real leader in Manchester.

But no one would have thought that a team from the bottom of English football was already on the same platform as them, and it would challenge these big teams so vividly.

And it's not just a threat, they snatched the League Cup from Manchester United last season, and who knows if they will snatch the FA Cup, the league title or even the European title from other teams in the future?

When the referee's two short and long whistles sounded, Guardiola valued the rising team even more, their red is different from Arsenal's red, and even more different from Manchester United's red, which belongs to the red of the red rebels' victory.
