Star Card System

With the attention of fans all over the world, this highly anticipated Manchester derby in the Champions League has officially begun!

The referee's whistle sounded and Manchester City kicked off from the center circle!

Aguero and Sane passed each other, and the ball quickly came to Sterling in the frontcourt!

As Manchester City's absolute fastest horse, Sterling sprinted along the right wing at high speed!

Even midfielder Xia Xing couldn't make up his position on the left wing immediately, so he could only retreat quickly to prevent him from rushing into the penalty area!

At this time, left back Luke Shaw followed closely.

He didn't act lightly.

In this case, any reckless action may cause big trouble for the team.

Especially facing a fast horse like Sterling.

After several consecutive fake moves, Sterling failed to get past his national teammate.

In the end, he chose to knock back and then accelerated into the penalty area!

Waiting for response!

However, Luke Shaw followed him closely and did not let him have a chance to catch the ball.

De Bruyne, who received Sterling's pass, was very smart and did not engage in a one-on-one with Sterling.

He made a curved pass and the ball flew accurately to Sane at the far end!

Aguero in the middle feints to attack, and Sane at the far end is the real point of attack!

Sane accelerated his sprint, but Manchester United right back Damian was already in place!

Take the first kick and poke the ball lightly!

This time it was a bit dangerous, after all, he was pushing the ball towards the goal.

But this is based on immense trust in teammates!

De Gea was already ready. Faced with Damian's pass, he decisively made a clearance!

The ball flies towards the frontcourt!

Look for Sanchez to come forward!

At this moment, Manchester United's front line suddenly became compromised!

The speed was so fast that even Manchester City was a little surprised!

Especially Xia Xing, who was just defending the second point in the penalty area, and now he has quickly rushed to the center circle!

And his position is the offensive and defensive metronome of the team!

The whole team moves forward quickly!

Even Herrera went up!

In this way, Manchester United even directly threw away the positioning points of two defensive midfielders!

No way out!

The pounce was very determined!

This surprised the Manchester City players!

Manchester United has never played this way before!

They retreated quickly, but Manchester United's offensive was already on the rise!

Manchester City only left three defenders today, and Kyle Walker assisted during the offensive phase!

Now only Kompany, Otamendi and Fernandinho are left in the backcourt!

For Manchester United, there are Lukaku, Sanchez and Rashford!

Although the Manchester City players quickly returned to defense, Manchester United's Xia Xing, Pogba, and Herrera also pounced with all their strength!

Manchester City's defense is in danger!

Sanchez receives the ball and accelerates along the right wing!

Central defender Otamendi stood firmly, keeping an eye on the forward Lukaku while waiting for support from his teammates!

Midfielder Fernandinho quickly pulled wide to block Sanchez's direction of rushing into the penalty area!

Kyle Walker quickly chased back. He was extremely fast and had already caught up with Sanchez!

At this time, Sanchez did not stand alone, but made a safe and horizontal knock, looking for Lukaku!

Then he sprinted quickly and entered the penalty area!

Kyle Walker follows closely!

The pass was a bit far from the goal and Lukaku dropped back to receive the ball.

Although the threat is reduced, this is to ensure that the opponent's defender does not steal the ball.

After all, Manchester United has no numerical disadvantage and still has time to organize.

Lukaku takes the ball with his back, with Otamendi close to him behind him.

He didn't hesitate and struck again!

Rashford catches up with the horse and catches the ball into the penalty area!

However, Manchester City captain Kompany is already ready to go and is guarding the near post!

Rashford has no space to shoot!

The possibility of even passing it to Lukaku is very small, because Otamendi has already locked Lukaku!

Is Manchester United's attack coming to an end?

Absolutely impossible!

Rashford continued to walk towards the baseline and suddenly passed back from the baseline!

This is an inverted triangle pass!

The ball did not find Lukaku in the middle and Sanchez at the far end, but passed to the top of the penalty area!

A Manchester United player has already rushed forward!

It’s summer trip!

Seeing Xia Xing receiving the ball, the fans cheered instantly!

This is an unparalleled excitement, expectation and trust!

Even Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room was excited at this moment!

"When did xia rush to the top of the penalty area?

“His speed is incredible!

"The ball went to his feet!

"Rashford has found his idol exactly!

"Xia didn't stop the ball and just shot!

“The ball hit the ground and flew towards the lower right corner of the goal!

"Ederson didn't react!

“This shot has great power, speed and angle!

“Excellent!

“The game only started three minutes ago and Manchester United scored first!

“The Red Devils were in great shape today!

"Let's look at the video replay again -

"Manchester City's attack was very sharp, but it was ultimately destroyed by Manchester United.

"A clearance ball found Sanchez, and Manchester United's counterattack started.

“At this point both midfielders are still in the Manchester United half.

“After the transition between offense and defense, everyone immediately ran towards the Manchester City half.

"And when they started at the same time, Xia's speed surpassed everyone!

“He is truly a superman on the court!

"It was with such extraordinary speed that he got this chance to shoot!

"When the Manchester City players around him were still three or five meters away from him,

"Xia had already kicked the ball!

"Manchester United played a wonderful counterattack at the beginning!

"This goal is wonderful!"

Manchester United fans in the stands cheered, and everyone enjoyed the joy of scoring.

This game is so cool to watch.

Although Manchester United won the previous Manchester derby games in the end, the game process looked quite tangled.

After all, the opponent has been pressing Manchester United, and the fans are always nervous.

Now it's good, the team is leading the score at the beginning!

The next is even more interesting!

With a ball in hand, let's see how you Manchester City play!

How to play?

Of course, continue to attack.

Lose the ball at the beginning, this is really not what Guardiola expected.

Bad luck!

Guardiola squeezed the water bottle in his hand hard.

But he didn't panic.

After all, the game has just begun, and there is still time.

Next, Manchester United still attacked with all their strength.

This time they moved on the left side.

The ball was passed to David Silva, and the Spanish midfielder passed it diagonally to Sane, and then quickly moved to the middle.

Sane sprinted with the ball and broke into the Manchester United penalty area!

An inverted triangle pass, looking for David Silva in front of the penalty area!

This pass was similar to the way Manchester United scored just now!

But their wishful thinking fell through.

Before David Silva received the ball, Xia Xing kicked it first and intercepted it!

A long pass accurately found the fast Rashford who was running forward!

Rashford sprinted quickly and kicked a lob shot at the edge of the Manchester City penalty area!

The ball hit the post and flew out of the bottom line!

Manchester United almost expanded their lead! (End of this chapter)
