Chapter 371 The top genius's master game
There's nothing wrong with Carragher's words.

It's okay to say that Mourinho and Guardiola are brothers.

Because when the two were young, they worked together in Barcelona for three years.

At that time Guardiola was a player and captain of Barcelona.

Mourinho is a young assistant coach at Barcelona, ​​and he is equally high-spirited.

Although Mourinho is 8 years older than Guardiola, the two are congenial.

Guardiola is Barcelona's midfield commander, and he has a great idea of ​​passing and controlling football.

Although Mourinho is an assistant coach, he has a very high understanding of football and a deep understanding of tactics.

Although the two are in a master-student relationship, they are more like friends in private.

In three years, the two forged a deep friendship.

However, afterward, the two were exposed by the media, creating a rift.

There are rumors that in the summer of 2008, Barcelona considered Mourinho to coach the team, and Mourinho was very happy.

But then Guardiola took the initiative to invite Ying, communicated with the management in depth, and finally became the new coach of Barcelona.

In other words, it was Guardiola who took Mourinho's Barcelona coach, which caused the relationship between the two to fall apart.

But there is another saying that Barcelona Chairman Laporte has invited Mourinho to coach, but Mourinho himself refused.

Someone analyze the reason.

Maybe the Portuguese don't want to live in Cruyff's shadow, after all, the Barcelona dynasty is what he built.

Others said that Mourinho's mentors, Robson and Van Gaal, had a bad relationship with Cruyff, and even publicly tormented him, so Mourinho did not want to have contact with Cruyff.

Others say that Mourinho doesn't like Cruyff's frequent interference in the team's management style, and he hopes to have maximum rights.

In any case, Mourinho failed to get together with Barcelona in the end anyway, but became a sworn enemy instead.

Even Barcelona fans did not admit that Mourinho had ever been in the team.

And Mourinho's tit-for-tat confrontation with Barcelona was naturally transformed into Guardiola.

Kindness and resentment, it is hard to tell clearly.

But that's the beauty of football.

At this time, the players on both sides have finished warming up and returned to the locker room.

In the locker room, the coaches of the two teams have different tactical arrangements.

Guardiola: "We will continue to play pass-and-control football in this game. We will definitely beat Manchester United, stabilize the defense, and maintain offensive pressure!"

Mourinho: "In this game, we will firmly defend the counterattack and ensure that there is no problem with the defense. We must seize the counterattack opportunity, be quick, and ensure efficiency!"

Players from both sides enter the field, and the game is about to begin!
"Hello viewers, this is Sky TV, and I'm your old friend Alan Shearer,
"I was next to Carragher, a guy who likes to complain, and today it is still the two of us commenting on the game.

"Today is September 9, the fourth round of the Premier League, the Manchester derby.

"I believe that everyone, like us, is already looking forward to this game.

"A pair of old enemies finally reunited in the Premier League, and it was a derby match, there was so much to watch in this match.

"Countless fans are looking forward to the tactical battle of the two new coaches.

"The exciting duel between the two sides' new players in the summer will make countless fans excited,

"And the two teams have won all three games in the Premier League, with 9 points, ranking first and second in the league.

"The result of this game also directly affects the league ranking.

"Although it is still early before the end of the league, it must be a great feeling to be able to defeat the deadly enemy.
"So today both sides sent their main players to the stage.

"On the Manchester United side, they played a 4-2-3-1 formation,

"Goalkeeper De Gea,

"A back four of Ashley Young, Smalling, Bailly and Valencia,

"Double midfielders Herrera and Fellaini,
"The three midfielders Xia, Rooney and Mkhitaryan,

"Center Ibrahimovic.

"Because Pogba received a red card in the last game, he is suspended today.

"Carrick was also out injured and didn't start.

"Even so, this lineup is still very good offensively and defensively.

"Herrera and Fellaini are both good defensive players with good running ability.
"Xia is excellent both offensively and defensively. This game will definitely become the core of the team.
"Mkhitaryan on the right has been in good form recently, and the wingers that Mourinho advocated to introduce are good.
"Veteran Ibrahimovic and Rooney are also in good form,
"Manchester United were eagerly anticipating a home win against their city rivals today.

"Manchester City, they played a 4-3-3 formation,

"Goalkeeper Bravo,

"The back four Kolarov, Otamendi, Kompany, Sagna,

"Three midfielders David Silva, Fernandinho, De Bruyne,
"Forwards Nolito, Aguero, Sterling.

"There are also Sane, Stones, Gundogan, Clichy, Zabaleta, Fernando and other stars on the bench.

"Compared to Manchester United's lineup, Manchester City's attack power is obviously better,
"Especially their combination before the finale, they are more energetic and impactful,

"This summer Guardiola's signings are not small, but most of these new players are not in the starting lineup.

"5560 million euros introduced the young defender Stones,

"The talented winger Sane bought for 5200 million euros,

"The German midfielder Gundogan bought for 2700 million euros,
"These three new aids who spent 1.3 million euros are all on the bench today,

"Only goalkeeper Bravo and striker Nolito were in the starting XI,

"Both are worth only 1800 million euros,
"It can be seen that Guardiola is definitely not a coach who determines the starting lineup by value and clarity.

"However, in the second half of the game, these new aids will definitely have a chance to play.

"Manchester City must maintain the strategy of passing and controlling football in this game.
"Guardiola likes this style of football the most.

"Let's see whether Mu's defense is better or Gua's is better in this game.

"The referee's whistle sounds and the game begins!"

Alan Shearer said it well, Guardiola's team still maintained a stable pass control in this game.

Unlike Barcelona, ​​they seem to have accelerated even more in addition to traditional pass control.

This is the characteristic of Premier League teams, so Manchester City's games in the past few games have been very interesting, not as dull as some of Barcelona's games.

Just after the start of the game, Manchester City fell continuously in the midfield!

With 11 passes, Manchester United's high-position press all came to nothing!

However, the Manchester United players did not blindly chase and fight. They retreated and defended firmly.

But the offensive rhythm of the Manchester City players has risen!

They have a lot of feeling in this game!
The ball was passed to the left and David Silva made a through ball!

Aguero sprints quickly and succeeds in anti-offside!
A shot on the penalty area line!
De Gea quickly fell to the ground to save!

The ball is blocked out of the goal!
After 1 minute, Manchester City's offense came up again!

After the ball was passed in the middle this time, De Bruyne on the right suddenly made a kick!
The ball drew an arc and went straight into the penalty area!

The half-high altitude ball accurately found Sterling in the previous point!
It was passed from the only gap between Ashley Young and Fellaini!
This pass is world class!
Fantastic opportunity in Manchester!
