Star Card System

Seeing Bernardo Silva steal the ball, Xia Xing secretly cried out that it was not good!

He did not join the attack just now, but just left a backhand in the backcourt!

At this time, he reacted quickly and ran quickly to Aguero's defense line on the right!

And the vice-captain Carrick also reacted quickly, running to the left to cut off Sane's receiving route!

These two are the fastest horses in Manchester City!

At this time, Bernardo Silva really passed the ball to Aguero who was in a better position!

At this time, Aguero had come to the edge of the penalty area and received the ball!

Just when he wanted to go in, Xia Xing arrived!

Decisive kick and shovel!

Aguero was knocked down with the ball!

The referee blew the whistle!

Yellow card!

Xia Xing got a card!

As an excellent defensive player, although Xia Xing participated in a large range of defense, his defensive actions were not big, and he relied on excellent technology and body to steal the ball.

But he still got a yellow card today.

But there is no way, the back defense is empty, if the opponent is forced into the penalty area, it will be more troublesome.

At this time, the vice-captain Carrick ran over: "Xia, are you okay?"

Xia Xing waved his hand, looking at several teammates who had just retreated to their positions with a serious expression.

"Guys, we still have a defensive advantage at this stage. Don't bet everything on one throw. It's not that point yet. Stay steady first, don't rush."

Several teammates who rushed forward recklessly felt a little embarrassed.

Yes, if it weren't for Xia Xing's decisive foul, this ball would really be hard to say.

With this lesson, the young Manchester United players became much more honest.

For a period of time in the next period of time, they continued to ensure the hardness of defense and played steadily.

Manchester City's offense had no chance to come up again.

But Manchester United's offensive opportunities were almost gone.

Rooney, who had just created two scoring opportunities, was silent at this moment.

The whistle for the end of the first half sounded, and the game was over.

0-0, neither side was able to break the deadlock.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and continued to fight again. The offensive and defensive momentum of the first half.

It was not until the 70th minute of the game that Mourinho began to make substitutions.

Manchester City has just replaced several players in the midfield and frontcourt to strengthen the offensive range.

Mourinho is also making adjustments.

He asked Fellaini and Mata to prepare to come on the field to replace the two captains and vice-captains.

After all, the two have just returned from injury and are old, so it is time to rest.

At this time, Bailly cleared the ball after a backcourt interception.

However, Xia Xing was on the left side, so he didn't have to watch the ball go out of bounds.

Quickly catch up, stop the ball at the sideline, and knock it horizontally.

The ball came to Carrick's feet in the middle.

Carrick stopped the ball, and Gundogan on the opposite side quickly rushed up!

However, Carrick slightly dribbled and passed the opponent with a change of rhythm!

Next, a long pass went straight to the frontcourt!

Looking for Rooney!

Manchester City continued to attack, and the defense was empty, and there were not many troops!

Especially Rooney's physical strength was almost empty, and Manchester City's defense did not pay much attention to him.

But at this moment Rooney seemed to have rekindled his youth!

Physical strength burst, sprint quickly!

He had been jogging in the front court for the past few minutes, and he had recovered some physical strength!

Enough to support him to complete this attack!

Fernandinho rushed up to defend, fiercely colliding with his body!

But Rooney did not confront him head-on!

After all, he is not young anymore, and Rooney has long lost his recklessness!

He stopped decisively, and then accelerated diagonally!

Fernandinho missed!

Central defender Otamendi rushed up and handed Rashford to Kompany!

But before he rushed up, Rooney had already kicked!

About 30 meters away from the goal, a burst shot went straight to the upper right corner of the goal!

Goalkeeper Ederson jumped up with all his strength, but still to no avail!

The ball hit the net!

1-0!

Manchester United broke the deadlock!

"Beautiful!

"What a wonderful shot!

"This is a wonderful cooperation between two Manchester United veterans!

"Just now we clearly saw that Carrick and Rooney could no longer run,

"Unexpectedly, in just a moment,

"the two created a good opportunity!

"Carrick got rid of the midfield and avoided Gundogan who was rushing to steal the ball with a little effort!

"A long pass was extremely accurate!

"The tacit understanding cultivated by the two Manchester United veterans over the years!

"Rooney inserted the ball forward, stopped suddenly and accelerated brilliantly!

"The final long shot made us seem to see the genius Rooney who once dominated England again!

"Manchester United broke the deadlock, and they are getting closer and closer to the championship! "

Accompanied by Alan Shearer's excited commentary, Manchester United fans in the stands were also excited.

But there was a little trouble on the court.

Rooney fell to the ground.

Injured?

The fans suddenly became worried.

Just recovered from injury, and now he is injured again?

Don't...

But after the team doctor came on the field to check, Rooney quickly got up and walked off the field.

From Rooney's performance and the expression of the team doctor, the problem was not serious.

"Wayne, what's wrong with you?"

"Just now I used too much force, and I felt a little twisted, but it's not serious."

"Well, that's good, come down and rest quickly. The shot just now was so damn beautiful!"

"Haha, I think so too!"

The general and the coach laughed and hugged tightly.

Manchester United scored a goal first, and they also used up two substitutions at the same time.

Next, they defended more resolutely.

It is not easy for a team with one goal in hand to win, after all, it is too difficult to defend.

But if it is Mourinho's team with one goal in hand, then it is almost certain.

You should know that Mourinho's first Premier League championship was won by Chelsea with one 1-0 victory after another.

When it comes to parking the bus, no one is more professional than Mourinho.

Now there are less than 20 minutes left before the end of the game, and Manchester City's attack is even more desperate.

Guardiola also made quick substitutions and he even changed three frontcourt positions in one go.

The team's formation also changed to 3-3-4.

But even so, their attack was still frequently blocked.

Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room looked at Manchester City on the court and suddenly found it interesting.

"We seem to have seen this scene before.

"A week ago, Manchester United played against Barcelona in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

"It seems to be the same situation.

"Manchester United led 1-0, and Barcelona changed to 3-3-4 to attack.

"It is the same with Manchester City now.

"What's more interesting is that Barcelona was once the dynasty created by Guardiola.

"Barcelona failed to break Manchester United's defense a few days ago. Can Manchester City turn the tide today?

"If Manchester City loses today,

"They have suffered a triple kill from Manchester United this season..."

Turning the tide is something that everyone in Manchester City is looking forward to.

Whether it is Aguero, Sane, and Jesus on the front line, or Bernardo Silva, Gundogan, and De Bruyne in the midfield.

They are working hard to find opportunities in the frontcourt.

Dribble past people in the penalty area and force a shot!

Dodge the angle outside the penalty area and shoot from a long distance!

The long pass from below, looking for an opportunity to bomb with a header!

However, despite Romero's heroic saves and Manchester United's team defense, Manchester City still couldn't score a goal.

Time is running out... (End of this chapter)
