Star Card System

Although Sanchez has not regained his form, it does not affect Manchester United's strikers' goals.

Sanchez's transfer has a very positive effect.

Because of his joining, Manchester United's strikers are in great form.

With consecutive goals, Manchester United has been very aggressive recently.

This makes Mourinho in a good mood.

After finishing three Premier League games, Manchester United is about to face the challenge of fighting on four fronts.

In the next period of time, Manchester United will play four consecutive games on four fronts.

On February 18, in the fifth round of the FA Cup, Manchester United will play away against Manchester City.

On February 22, the Champions League quarter-finals will start, Manchester United will visit Camp Nou to face the universe team Barcelona.

On February 25, Manchester United will play again in the 28th round of the Premier League, at home against Chelsea.

On March 2, the League Cup final finally arrived, and the Manchester City derby started again.

There will be four consecutive battles in 13 days, and only one is at home.

And they are all tough battles against strong enemies.

The difficulty can be imagined.

However, Manchester United players have been rotated in the past few days, and the games are not intensive, so their physical recovery is good.

On February 11, Manchester United beat Newcastle 3-0, and the whole team was in high spirits.

On February 18, Manchester United visited Etihad and ushered in the second Manchester derby of the season.

Manchester City has been in good shape recently, and a wave of consecutive victories has allowed them to continue to score points.

But unfortunately, they met Manchester United, who is in better shape.

While they were scoring points, Manchester United's points continued to rise.

After consecutive wins, they were still two digits behind Manchester United, which made Manchester City very frustrated.

Even the Times said bluntly: "If it weren't for Manchester United's super god state, Manchester City would definitely be the league champion this season!"

Yes, the league continued to win, but it was still not as good as Manchester United, which was really unacceptable.

So Guardiola must win this game!

Even if it was just an ordinary FA Cup game, not even a key knockout match, Guardiola must win!

Even if there is no hope for the Premier League title, Guardiola will go all out to win in the cup stage!

In this game, he even sent out the strongest lineup in his hands.

4-3-3 formation.

Goalkeeper Ederson.

Four defenders Zinchenko, Laporte, Otamendi and Kyle Walker.

Three midfielders David Silva, Gundogan and De Bruyne.

Three forwards Sane, Aguero and Bernardo Silva.

This configuration is currently Manchester City's best lineup.

Facing Manchester United, Manchester City's soldiers fought hard!

From the first minute of the game, Manchester City has taken the absolute initiative!

The continuous cooperation between the midfield and the frontcourt is like flowing water.

Manchester City's super good state this season is not covered.

Five minutes into the game, Sane and Aguero had each had a chance to shoot.

But both were successfully saved by Romero.

Manchester United still used the "cup lineup" in this game.

Goalkeeper Romero started.

There is some controversy within the Manchester United team about this decision.

Especially the coaching staff, they still think that De Gea should be allowed to play.

After all, De Gea is more stable and has better save ability.

There is no doubt about this.

But Mourinho insisted on using Romero.

"I can lose a game, but I can't lose the hearts of the players. If I break my promise to them because of a strong opponent, then Manchester United will not plan to compete for the championship on multiple fronts this season. You know, the cup competition has come to this point, and it is these 'cup players' who have fought one game after another. In this game, Romero must start!"

Mourinho was decisive, and the opposition voices of the coaching staff disappeared.

From this time on, Mourinho's expression of the substitute players has become "cup players".

In his Manchester United team, everyone is important.

As long as you take training and competition seriously.

Facing Manchester City's onslaught, Romero was in great shape.

Aguero's low shot and Sane's small-angle volley were perfectly resolved by Romero.

Manchester City's opening wave of attacks returned in vain.

In this game, Manchester United almost used all substitutes, with only Xia Xing and Sanchez as the starting players.

Needless to say, Xia Xing has superb physical fitness and can play in multiple positions, which allows him to play almost all games throughout the season.

Sanchez's starting lineup is still Mourinho's special care.

The notes let the Chilean striker find his form.

Unfortunately, he still couldn't find the feeling of scoring in this game.

Today is not only his personal problem, but also the team's tactical problem.

It was originally a defensive counterattack, and Manchester City attacked fiercely, so Sanchez had little chance to score.

The two sides played 0-0 in the first half.

Although Manchester United had almost no chances, Manchester City failed to score.

Xia Xing completely retreated to the penalty area and organized defense with all his strength.

When Xia Xing, who participated in defense 100%, appeared, Manchester City really couldn't break through Manchester United's line.

In the midfield position, David Silva, Gundogan and De Bruyne couldn't pass too effective ground passes throughout the first half.

Xia Xing's smart running made it difficult for three excellent passers.

In the first half, almost all of the scoring opportunities created by Manchester City were Aguero's breakthroughs and long shots from the midfield.

Although there were many shots, they did not have much effect.

In the second half, Manchester City still maintained the pressure.

The Blue Moon's continuous pounce put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's defense.

However, with Xia Xing in front and Romero in the back, the excellent central axis connection between the two made Manchester City's attack invisible again and again.

Manchester United has not had a decent attack, which has gradually relaxed Manchester City's vigilance.

Until the 89th minute of the game.

De Bruyne made a long diagonal pass to Aguero in the penalty area!

Phil Jones jumped high and headed the ball to clear the siege!

The ball fell at the feet of Xia Xing outside the penalty area!

Xia Xing, who received the ball, did not hesitate and directly chose a long pass!

At this time, Manchester City's defense was empty!

And a figure had already sprinted quickly!

It was Sanchez!

In Manchester City's backcourt, only the fast horse Kyle Walker was left!

Sanchez stopped the ball accurately and moved forward!

Kyle Walker quickly retracted to block Sanchez's forward path!

However, Sanchez did not go straight forward, but returned to the right again, pulling to the side and accelerating!

Avoided Kyle Walker's pressing!

However, Kyle Walker did not get too close to the defense, he still locked the angle in the penalty area!

As long as you are not allowed to come in, play outside.

But he forgot that it was Sanchez who was dribbling the ball.

The former Arsenal thigh, the top three striker in the Premier League.

On the penalty area line, Sanchez slowed down slightly and suddenly cut inside!

Avoided the angle and kicked the ball!

The ball went straight into the dead corner!

World wave!

Ederson became the background board!

1 to 0!

"The ball is in!"

"Manchester United scored the winning goal at the last moment!

"They are about to double-kill their city rivals this season!" (End of this chapter)
