Starting from Manchester United, starting with Maguire

Chapter 29 Wake up, the devil in your heart

Rodri Hernandez, a world-class midfielder overlooked in De Bruyne's halo.

Most of his impressions to the fans are the interception in place, the tireless running and the ability to connect the front and back of the team. After transferring from Atletico Madrid, he still retains the unique "iron and blood spirit". Always a surprise.

However, his outstanding passing, heading and long-range shooting abilities are often overlooked. As a "defensive midfielder", these unnoticed abilities will play a decisive role when the game is deadlocked.

Seeing that De Bruyne was at a loss in the face of Gao Changfeng and Ronaldo double-teaming, Gundogan was unable to get out under the entanglement of McTominay, Rodri stepped forward decisively to replace the central midfielder, relying on precise long-term The pass continues to deliver shells to the frontcourt.

This is the scariest part of Manchester City's midfield. When you manage to prevent one of them, a second person will immediately stand up and continue to deliver shells to the frontcourt. This also ensures that Manchester City's strikers can be unscrupulously happy Retribution for squandering too many opportunities.

After Rodri moved his position forward, the midfielder seat B, who was at the top of the center position, also decisively retreated to make room for the two wingers of his own side, a typical false nine play style!

The precise long pass rained down on Manchester United's gap in the middle. Sterling and Mahrez also took turns obliquely inserting into the Manchester United penalty area to "pursue happiness". Although the quality of the shot was not high, it was enough to make Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea panic.

No matter how unreliable the shooting skills of Manchester City's two wingers are, they can always seize more than a dozen opportunities. In the 15th minute Mahrez received the ball at the top of the Manchester United penalty area and turned around to hit the goal. The football flew to the right of De Gea Then passed through Maguire's crotch and was refracted, and went straight to the lower left corner of the goal.

De Gea, who flew to the right to make a save, had no time to deal with the refraction, so he could only watch the football hit the net: "C!"

Only 15 minutes into the kick-off, Manchester City led Manchester United 1-0.

In the face of absolute strength crushing, Rangnick frowned on the coach's bench and put on a thoughtful look but did nothing, but Ronaldo took the lead in giving up on De Bruyne's marking and waving his hands to direct the team to withdraw to his own half. Field, take the bus.

I don't care if the kick is good or not, if I don't set the bus, I will be bloodbathed!

Fortunately, he was taught by the "anti-anti-rebellion master" Mourinho during his time at Real Madrid. Ronaldo immediately sent Sancho and Elanga, who were fast and powerful, to the front, and the rest retreated. A 4-4 The -2 standard Mu family anti-reverse formation is completed.

Looking at the familiar formation in front of him, Guardiola seemed to go back more than ten years ago, when he was still fighting Mourinho in La Liga.

What a wonderful memory it was for the fine-grained pass-and-control football against Shanghai's lightning-fast defensive counterattack!Now that he came to the Premier League, Guardiola did not expect that someone would be able to set up this formation that had caused him a lot of trouble but lingered.

It's a pity that Manchester United today is far inferior to Real Madrid in Mourinho's time, but Manchester City is not much inferior to the red and blue team under Gua Shuai.

"De Bruyne, B seat, you are responsible for controlling the rhythm of the game, penetrating with short passes, penetrating the offensive line!"

In fact, Gua Shuai has more options if he wants to break Manchester United's intensive defense, such as letting De Bruyne take a few long shots in the midfield. He just wants to recall the time when he faced Mourinho.

Due to the lax discipline of Manchester United players and the limited level of Ronaldo's personal coaching, Manchester United's "Mu-style anti-counterfeiting" had to be in an unsatisfactory shape.Kong has a seemingly intensive defense, but does not have the discipline and integrity to launch a counterattack.

Although Cristiano Ronaldo was in the midfield to direct the overall situation, with the cooperation of De Bruyne and the B seat, Manchester United's dense defense lasted only 5 minutes before being easily penetrated. to be happy.

Manchester United's defense still relies too much on Sterling!
Seeing that Manchester United's intensive defense was so unbearable, Guardiola suddenly lost interest: "De Bruyne, Gundogan, shoot them through me!"

Manchester City's tactics changed instantly. Sterling and Mahrez received the ball at the front of the Manchester United penalty area and then passed it back to De Bruyne or Gundogan. Foot long shot.

Both De Bruyne and Gundogan are masters of "falling leaves ball". Their long shots made strange arcs in the air, constantly testing De Gea's ten fingers.

Except for Ronaldo and Gao Changfeng who still have fighting spirit and are still actively running to defend, the others in the Manchester United team have long since given up fighting. Man-marking gives the opponent enough space and time to adjust for a long-range shot.

There is a saying on the football field that "wasting too many opportunities will result in retribution", but there is another saying that "give too many opportunities to the opponent and there will be no place to die".

In the 35th minute, facing Manchester United's perfunctory defense, De Bruyne finally successfully penetrated De Gea's ten fingers with a long shot.

Manchester City 2:0 Manchester United.

This time even Ronaldo lost his temper. He bent over his hips and panted heavily while shaking his head and sighing. In the past 25 minutes, the 37-year-old had returned from the center position to his own penalty area, and when he fell behind, he took up the role of midfielder in the midfield position. Running wildly, I am already exhausted at this moment and have no energy left.

Guardiola waved his fists violently on the coaching bench: "Give me a few more, quick, quick!"

The indiscriminate bombing of De Bruyne and Gundogan is still going on, and De Gea has almost no chance to breathe in front of the goal, but the Manchester United players allow the enemy to shoot from a long distance, "appreciating" De Gea The individual performances are indifferent.

Gao Changfeng's eyes gradually turned red, and he stared fiercely at De Bruyne, the sleeping demon in his body was waking up.

This guy can't be allowed to act recklessly, otherwise Manchester United will be bloodbathed by Manchester City.

"System, is there any football skill that can directly get De Bruyne off the field?" Gao Changfeng decided to use the last football skill in his hands to get De Bruyne off the field at all costs.

[Do you mean to directly injure him? 】

"Correct!"

[Recommend the football skill "shoveling people" to you. 】

"Good stuff, plus!"

De Bruyne's ankle has a few more percentage marks in an instant, which is the same as the "marking" method, just find a part with a larger percentage and decisively put the shovel.

When De Bruyne dribbles slowly forward to shoot, the percentage of his rear ankle reaches a staggering 90%.

Seeing that Gao Changfeng did not choose to block De Bruyne's long-range shot head-on, but went around behind the opponent at the fastest speed, not to mention that the Manchester United players didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, even De Bruyne himself Also very suspicious.

It was too late after De Bruyne reacted, Gao Changfeng had already found the right time to decisively put a shovel from behind him, and 90% of them don't believe you won't be injured.

Very clean shovel, no ball sticking at all!
70's feet shoveled heavily on the rear of De Bruyne's right ankle, causing him to leap up, hug his ankle and fall heavily on Gao Changfeng's leg in pain.

With a muffled "click", Gao Changfeng's knee was smashed by De Bruyne, and the two lay on the ground holding the injured part and rolling wildly.

[The knee is slightly traumatized, the explosive force is permanently -10, the speed is permanently -5]

Gao Changfeng thumped the ground in pain, and still complained in his mouth: "Fuck, did I get hurt when I was lightly pressed by him?"

[Your injury resistance is 40, and you are currently the player with the most "glass man system" in football. 】

Well, I ignored the column of "injury resistance" when I was only concerned about the useful data of upgrading on the field, and now the retribution is coming
　"Maybe you don't like a player like Ramos, but every team needs a Ramos."
