Chapter 374: Tit-for-tat stalemate

This is the most exciting match since the start of the Premier League this season. There is nothing wrong with this statement.

If you only look at the process of this game, some people may still question it.

After all, Liverpool, Arsenal and other teams also played well.

However, combined with the pre-match public opinion war, the atmosphere exaggerated by the media, and the grievances between different people on the court, this game is definitely the most exciting and the most anticipated.

And now, the trend of the game is also very exciting.

Less than 30 minutes have passed, and the score is 1-1.

This score is not dazzling, but the match between the two sides is absolutely wonderful.

The offensive and defensive rhythm of both sides is very fast, and the wonderful defense, passing, passing and shooting are endless, which makes the fans very satisfied.

In the live broadcast room, Carragher watched the live information of the game.

"The ratings of this game have reached the peak in recent seasons.

"It's really the best in the Premier League, not bad.

"If more collisions between several giants can reach this level,

"Then the broadcasting fee of the Premier League will have to rise again! "

Alan Shearer also nodded.

"Yes, this game is very exciting, whether it is the pre-match public opinion, atmosphere,

"or the rhythm of the game,

"Before the game, some people were worried that Mourinho would park the bus,

"But look at it now, Manchester United's offensive is still very sharp,

"Mourinho's Manchester United does not pursue the number of attacks, they pursue offensive efficiency. "

Alan Shearer's words are correct.

In this game, Mourinho insisted that the players defend steadily and then seize the offensive opportunities.

For example, in the first half, although Manchester United's number of attacks and shots were far less than Manchester City,

they were still evenly matched with Manchester City and scored the first goal.

This is rare.

It was already the 40th minute of the game and the first half was about to end.

But at this time, both sides did not slack off, but the offensive rhythm rose again!

Manchester City's continuous passes were still handed over to Aguero.

Smalling did not make a mistake this time. He kicked ahead, knocked Aguero away and intercepted the ball.

Aguero fell to the ground with his hands raised high, protesting to the referee!

He committed a foul!

This is a penalty kick!

But the referee ignored it and signaled the game to continue!

Good opportunity!

Smalling passed the ball forward and the ball was handed to Herrera!

But the huge collision pushed him away!

It was Xia Xing!

He had already moved forward quickly!

Pushing Sagna away, he got the ball!

At this time, there was a panic in front of the Manchester City goal!

Midfielder Fernandinho quickly retreated!

Central defender Otamendi also came up!

Two people double-teamed!

Facing the impact, Xia Xing was indeed Cut inside and dribble the ball!

Fernandinho and Otamendi stayed close to each other and continued to suppress!

The two thought, no matter how strong you are, you can't get past the two of us!

However, Xia Xing didn't plan to dribble this time!

He pulled the ball to the middle and cut inside to create opportunities for his teammates!

At this time, his ankle shook!

The ball flew quickly to the left side!

"The shot was very crisp, and the ball went into the net!

"2 to 1!

"Manchester United scored another goal, and they are leading the score again!

"Today's Red Devils are really energetic!"

On the side of the court, the excited Manchester United captain jumped high!

So happy!

The closest Ibrahimovic rushed up and hugged Rooney tightly!

Other teammates also ran over and gathered together.

But Rooney still grabbed Xia Xing outside the crowd.

"Xia! Your pass is great!"

"Captain, your shot is super cool!"

"Hahahaha! I really like you more and more, kid!"

The Manchester United players hugged together, and the Manchester City players were a little depressed.

This game was a little different from what I imagined.

Guardiola said before the game that Manchester United's defense was average and they would definitely be able to penetrate.

But I didn't expect this opponent to be so tough...

After the restart, Manchester City also played a little frustrated.

In the last few minutes of the game, they were obviously out of spirit, and the first half ended with a score of 1 to 2.

With a one-goal lead, Manchester United players returned to the locker room excitedly.

But as soon as they returned to the locker room, Mourinho was waiting for them with a sullen face.

"Boys, you played well in the first half, especially the cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt, which was very good.

"But I must remind you that your wing defense is not good!

"Although we defended Sterling and Nolito and prevented them from scoring,

"But we still couldn't defend their crosses,

"Especially Sterling, he was too active on the right, which is absolutely not okay.

"Ashley Young, you have to keep an eye on him,

"Even if you lose offensive opportunities, you can't give him a chance!

"Xia in front of you, I don't want him to retreat too far,

"I hope he can play his offensive strength.

"So in the second half of the game, you must do your best to defend! "

Mourinho's words were very serious, which made Ashley Young a little confused.

I defended well in the first half, why do you say that to me?

I was even a little dissatisfied in my heart.

But after all, we were in the locker room, facing the head coach, so I didn't argue.

"Okay, BOSS. "

Ashley Young agreed.

When he returned to the court in the second half, he didn't care too much.

It's just Sterling, that's all, he was in average form in this game.

But he didn't expect that he would suffer a heavy blow just after the start of the second half!

Manchester City's midfielder passed the ball and suddenly made a pass!

It was a direct pass from De Bruyne!

It went straight to the gap between Ashley Young and Bailey!

At this time, Sterling quickly moved forward, bypassed Ashley Young, and received the ball!

This was unexpected for Ashley Young!

He had also planned for Sterling to go to the side, but he didn't expect him to rush directly into the penalty area!

Ashley Young was out of position!

Bailly quickly rushed up, but Sterling kicked first!

A low shot near the post!

The ball went into the net!

2 to 2!
