Chapter 743
This game seemed too important, so after the game started, the two teams played very cautiously. This is also a rule of football games. All important games or finals are generally not good-looking.
Of course, the Derby is an exception. The original Manchester Derby was definitely not like this. Just like the Manchester Derby in the first half of the season, they would be so cautious and just do it, but this time is very different.
For such an opening, both the fans and the media can understand, after all, the ownership of the champion of the related match of this game cannot be as big as before.
Although the scene is dull after all, this does not affect the enthusiasm of the fans at all. Whether it is Manchester City or Manchester United fans, this game cannot be missed. They are doing their best to cheer for their team at the moment.
The real threat of the first wave of attack appeared in the No.12 minute. It came from Manchester City, which was playing at home. Li Feng's middle road attracted the attention of Carrick and Park Ji-sung, and then split the side. Clichy inserted at high speed.
Silva moved across the middle, but Phil Jones did not follow. Seeing this situation, Clichy made a decisive decision and crossed directly instead of dribbling the ball himself.
Unguarded Silva, of course, would not be polite. He rushed directly into the Manchester United penalty area and shot hard before the Manchester United defenders came up.
Silva's shot was very good, but De Gea's performance was also very good. This season, the young Spanish goalkeeper withstood the pressure and used one save after another to make Manchester United fans temporarily forget the retired old goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
If De Gea can maintain such progress and performance, there is no doubt that the future of the Spanish goalkeeper is extremely bright, and Li Feng knows something about this.
There are two. With Manchester City's attack started, Manchester United's counterattack is not far away. After 3 minutes, the game opened to No. 15 minutes, and Manchester City returned a kick to the former city boy.
The pass from Carrick, Scholes is a veteran after all, and he retired and made a comeback, while De Jong is a defensive champion. In the just-concluded semi-finals, De Jong was the man who stood up to Harvey.
After trying to no avail, Scholes stopped right away and passed back to Carrick, who lobbed the ball directly over the Manchester City midfielder and came to Rooney's feet.
Although Rooney's scoring rate this season is not low, scoring a total of 35 goals in 26 rounds of the league, but under Ferguson's training, he is becoming less and less like a striker, and his retracement is getting deeper and deeper.
Rooney retreated to get the ball, and Lescott naturally had to resist. Unable to turn around, Rooney pushed obliquely. Compared with Nani, Rooney obviously trusted veteran Ryan Giggs more.
It was also a long-range shot, from Giggs, but Giggs' long-range shot bounced off Kompany's leg, and by this time Rooney had passed Lescott.
Faced with the ball that popped out, Lu Xiaopang kicked it head-on, and Joe Hart, not to be outdone, flew up and directly caught the ball with both hands.
Then Manchester United got the first yellow card, it was from Park Ji-sung, and the object of his foul was Li Feng. This is a football game. In fact, after that meeting, the two are already good friends in private, but in the game, there is no sympathy to talk about.
Of course, Park Ji-sung would not foul maliciously, at most it was an intentional foul. Then Li Feng took a set kick, Silva passed a diagonal pass to Aguero, and the latter also passed it to Dzeko.
The Manchester City striker completed the second kick for his team and pushed Ferdinand to complete a push. Unfortunately, the ball missed the goal kick and gave Manchester United a goal kick.
Once upon a time, Manchester United's defense could be said to make the whole of Europe jealous, and Ferdinand and Vidic were able to rank among the top three in Europe and even the world.
But now?Ferdinand is 34 years old. Although he is still in good condition, he can no longer compare with a few years ago. Even Vidic, who is lying on the hospital bed at the moment, is 31 years old. The best central defender combination has entered the end of his career.
However, Smalling and Evans, who were highly expected by Ferguson, did not grow up as expected, and it can even be said to be disappointing. Among Manchester United's current defensive players, Phil Jones' performance is not bad.
The biggest difference between Manchester United and Manchester City is that Manchester City is now dominated by young players. Perhaps it should be more appropriate to say that the Mesozoic generation is more appropriate. After all, Li Feng is about to be 24 years old.
However, Manchester United is still in the hands of the old guys. Perhaps it is said that Manchester United is now entering a critical moment of renewal, but Ferguson has too few young players who can bear the heavy responsibility. In the current situation, De Gea and Phil Jones are not bad, and these two were bought by Ferguson, not trained by himself.
No.20 In two minutes, Manchester United made a mistake. Smalling, the unlucky central defender, made a mistake in returning the pass under the pressure of Li Feng, and almost passed the ball directly to Dzeko.
Fortunately, Ferdinand stood firmly in his position, so that Dzeko failed to form a single-handed fight. Coupled with De Gea's timely attack, Dzeko had no choice but to drink his hatred.
Ferdinand is not a good tempered man. Faced with such a mistake, the Manchester United veteran yelled at Molins with a ferocious face, "Oh~ Smalling, maybe Ferguson needs to make up for the position of central defender this summer?" Even the commentator didn't let Smalling go.
The Scottish old man is world-renowned for his stubbornness. Faced with Smalling's mistake, Ferguson didn't say anything, and he still sat firmly on the coaching bench. However, those who are familiar with Ferguson may find that the Scottish old man chews gum much faster than before.
No.207 minutes, the referee Marina took out the second yellow card of the game, but this time it was given to Manchester City. In order to prevent Rooney from attacking, the captain of Manchester City paid the price of a yellow card.
I don't know if it's because Lescott hasn't played for too long. After the opening, this guy behaved like a puppet, completely led by Rooney.
Park Ji-sung jumped in suddenly. It was a rare start for Park San-lung in this game. So far, Park Ji-sung has not started ten games in the league.
However, when Yaya Toure blocked him, Park Ji-sung chose to pass the ball very wisely. The player flanked Nani on the right. Under the defense of Clichy, Nani did not get any good chances.
So a cross was passed to Rooney, who easily swayed Lescott away with a fake move, and Kompany decisively made up for the flying shovel. If it wasn't for Zabaleta's astute retreat to the penalty area, Kompany's flying shovel would not be as simple as a yellow card.
