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 the feet of Sterling in the frontcourt!
As Manchester City's absolute fast 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. He 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 go forward!
At this moment, Manchester United's front line suddenly became compromised!

The speed was so fast that even Manchester City was not expecting it!

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 positions 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 the deep-lying 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, staring at 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 Xia Xing!
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 passed to his feet!

"Rashford has found his idol exactly!
"Xia didn't stop the ball and just started shooting!
“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 3 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 from offense to 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!

"With such extraordinary speed, he got this shooting opportunity!

"When the Manchester City players around him were still three to five meters away from him,
"Xia has already taken a shot!
"Manchester United played a wonderful counterattack at the beginning!

"It was a fantastic goal!"

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

This game is so cool to watch.

In the previous Manchester derbies, although they all won in the end, the game process looked quite tangled.

After all, the opponents have been pressing Manchester United to play, and the fans are always on tenterhooks.

Well now, the team is leading at the beginning!

It gets even more interesting next time!

With a ball in hand, let's see how you Manchester City can play!
How to play?
Of course the onslaught continued.

Conceding the goal at the beginning was really not what Guardiola expected.

Bad luck!
Guardiola squeezed the water bottle in his hand.

But he didn't panic either.

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

Next, Manchester United continued to attack with all their strength.

This time they were active on the left wing.

The ball was passed to the feet of David Silva, and the Spanish midfielder passed it diagonally to Sane, and then quickly moved towards the center.

Sane sprinted with the ball and entered the Manchester United penalty area!
Pass the ball in an inverted triangle and find David Silva in front of the penalty area!

This pass is similar to the way Manchester United scored just now!
But their wishful thinking failed.

Before David Silva could catch the ball, Xia Xing took the first kick and intercepted the ball!

A long pass accurately found the fast forward Rashford!

Rashford sprinted quickly and took a shot from the edge of the Manchester City penalty area!
The ball hit the goal post and flew out of the baseline!

Manchester United almost extended their lead! (End of chapter)
