Chapter 958 Leading Again
Compared with Evans and Smalling, Phil Jones is still much better, and for now, Phil Jones' performance is not comparable to Smalling and Evans.
It's just that Ferguson seems to prefer to put Phil Jones in the midfielder position, so in this game, due to tactical arrangements, Ferguson let Phil Jones sit on the bench.
To be honest, Phil Jones is more suitable to cooperate with Ferdinand. Due to his frequent role as a defensive midfielder, Phil Jones has a wider range of activities, and his defense is more reliable than Evans.
In fact, Phil Jones is very similar to Ferdinand when he was young. The young Ferdinand also has a large defensive area and outstanding defensive ability. However, as he grows older, his physical fitness declines, and now he is not enough to support him.
The game restarted. If there was still the opponent's thoughts of madly celebrating goals at the beginning, then, the game has progressed to the present, and the two sides have no such small thoughts.
In the case of a 2:2 draw, both sides are now thinking about how to win the game, rather than the so-called maintaining a draw. This is a Manchester derby. In a derby, a draw is absolutely not allowed, only the outcome.
No. 70 minutes, Manchester United also created a chance similar to Manchester City's goal, but unfortunately, there is no Li Feng in the Manchester United team.
After Falcao broke through Kompany, his shot was blocked by Joe Hart. The ball bounced back to Manchester City's penalty area. Ashley Young followed up and was blocked by Zabaleta.
At this time, Ashley Young should choose to pass the ball, but he didn't do so. The result was that the ball was surrounded by Manchester City's defensive players.
One minute later, Manchester City once again created a good chance. After Aguero's shot, Li Feng and Van Persie attracted the defense, and Aguero crossed into the Manchester United penalty area.
But today the Manchester City striker didn't seem to have much luck in scoring goals. Aguero hit the goal again and went wide, sending the ball directly to the opponent.
No. 705 minutes, Manchester United played two against two, Rooney faced Lescott, Falcao faced Kompany, Rooney passed the ball, Falcao attacked the Manchester City penalty area with the ball, but was strongly intercepted by the Manchester City captain.
The two staged a wonderful offensive and defensive battle on the line of the penalty area, entangled for more than ten seconds, and finally Kompany ended with a tackle on the ground to make a clearance.
But at this time, even if Falcao broke into the penalty area, it was useless. For such a long time, Manchester City's players had already returned to defense, so the personal offense and defense between the two were really exciting.
Coincidentally, after that, Silva and Smalling had a personal offensive and defensive battle, but the result also ended in the victory of the defensive player.
It has to be said that the outcome of this contest was a bit unexpected. You must know that Silva should be the winning side no matter from which aspect, but the final result ended with Smalling's clearance.
Subsequently, Manchester City finally got the first yellow card since the start of the game, a flying tackle from De Jong, Carrick entered the Manchester City half with the ball, and De Jong flew out a tackle without any explanation.
As a result, Carrick fell to the ground in pain, and the two sides almost broke out in conflict again. Although the two teams have scored a lot of goals and their offense is smoother than driving, there are still many conflicts.
After all, in the Derby, the players on both sides were already very angry. Li Feng started, and then Boateng's injury, Silva and Rafael, and Evans' retaliation against Van Persie were all conflict points.
It's just that Atkinson is very vigilant about this aspect. As soon as a foul occurs, he immediately runs over and stands between the two teams at the first time to prevent the players from further contact.
"Atkinson is almost perfect in preventing the conflict between the players of the two teams." Even the commentator couldn't help but praise Atkinson.
The Manchester United team doctor quickly entered the field under Atkinson's signal, and after examination and simple treatment, Carrick did not quit the game.
On the other hand, De Jong's yellow card seemed to open Manchester City's yellow card account. In the next 5 minutes, Manchester City received two more yellow cards, namely Kompany and Zabaleta.
Kompany's yellow card was received by Falcao, and Zabaleta's was because he was directly pulled by the opponent when Ashley Young waded through.
After being pulled, Ashley Yang immediately jumped up from the ground, and then rushed towards Zabaleta who pulled him with a face of anger, and the latter naturally would not show weakness.
Top bull, Ashley Yang and Zabaleta put their heads on each other, and they seemed to be saying these things to each other, and Yaya Toure, who was closest to the two, rushed over the fastest.
But when Yaya Toure reached out to Ashley Yang, Atkinson appeared in time and passed between Yaya Toure and Ashley Yang, preventing Yaya Toure from separating Ashley Yang and Sabaletta in time.
At this time, players from both sides also rushed over, but it was obvious that the situation had been controlled by Atkinson, who drew a yellow card to Zabaleta, and repeatedly warned the players on both sides severely.
However, just after Zabaleta's foul, Manchester City rewrote the score again, at No. 80 minutes of the game.
Relying on a corner kick, Li Feng shot another long-range shot in the penalty area. I have to say that in this game, Li Feng really seemed to be abandoned by God.
In the case of all his teammates trying to create a shot for him, and he also blocked my chance to hit the goal, but his long-range shot just failed to break through De Gea's ten fingers.
Yaya Toure held the ball to attract the attention of Manchester United defenders for Li Feng. Silva moved across the center at the same time to escort him. Van Persie involved Ferdinand to the left, and Aguero moved to the right to attract attention.
In the end, Silva made a pass back in the penalty area, Li Feng held the ball outside the penalty area, and even shot from a long distance. In order to ensure the quality, Li Feng controlled the ball and made some adjustments before kicking.
However, De Gea seemed to be on the pole with Li Feng today, and his kick was a heavy artillery in an absolute dead end, but in the end it was blocked by De Gea inconceivably.
But even so, Manchester City still took the initiative back to their own injuries, Silva took a corner kick, Kompany competed for the first place, and scored with a header.
"Evra, Kompany's header hit Evra on the goal line, the ball bounced back into the box, number 11, blue number 11, Van Persie."
"GOAL~~~~ The goal was scored, Manchester City took the lead, No. 80 minutes of the game, although Van Persie and Evra blocked Kompany's header, but Van Persie reacted faster than the Manchester United defenders, and Manchester City regained the lead with a follow-up shot in front of the goal."
