At this moment, all the commentators seemed a little shocked.
Are those red-shirted players running wildly on the field still the Manchester United they are familiar with?
Someone saw Lingard in the red waves. This guy's first start was already extremely unexpected, but he didn't expect his attitude to become correct?
But only Lingard and Rashford know.
Before the game, Mourinho came to them.
"You have 45 minutes to prove in this derby that you are worthy of this jersey."
"In the second half, Manchester United needs you to attack the opponent's tired defense with all your strength!"
When the scene returned to the field, Seat B had just rushed out a few steps when he felt a large number of red figures appear in front of him.
He made a quick move and sent the ball to the open space behind Manchester United on the right side at the right time.
There, there was a short player with dreadlocks, sticking out his England butt and speeding along.
Two seconds later, the hesitant Sterling looked at Manchester United, where almost all the players had retreated.
Unable to find any chance, he could only pass the ball back to David Silva who was following.
It seems that he is unwilling to let this fast break opportunity disappear.
The fans soon saw the football flying into the sky, and Guardiola shook his hand angrily.
He understood that the players were on top.
Otherwise, this is a good time for them to play to their strengths and look for loopholes in Manchester United's half.
Sometimes, seeing something that is about to be obtained suddenly disappear, a person's mentality will be affected.
3 minutes later.
Missing the opportunity to counterattack, Manchester City was beaten by the opponent.
If Emerson hadn't made a brave save, Lukaku, who had switched to left-footed shooting, would have opened the scoring for Manchester United.
At this time, the commentators did not have time to analyze the tactics of both sides.
Because the rhythm was too fast, Stones only grabbed the second shot saved by the goalkeeper.
A Manchester United player appeared behind him. Lin Mo jammed the outside of Stones' right foot with his kick, forcing him to move to the left.
Valencia has blocked the passing route.
But Lin Mo still underestimated Stones. The latter's physical strength allowed him to maintain balance while waiting for Emerson's support.
This time Manchester United's attack came to an end.
But the Manchester City fans at the scene were shocked into a cold sweat.
After the first ten minutes of high pressure, Manchester United began to gradually recover.
After all, such an opening is a huge drain on the team's physical fitness, and the main reason is that Manchester City has recovered and re-entered the state.
To put it simply: adapt!
After all, Premier League relegation teams often attack like this.
But just when people thought the game was about to return to Manchester City's rhythm, Manchester United unexpectedly started a stranglehold in the midfield.
Mourinho waved his hand from the sidelines, the defense is in good condition!
Three lines of compression, premise!
Move the defense line from the 0-35 meter area to the 20-50 meter area.
Halftime strangulation!
This is a tactic he specially designed for Manchester City.
Don’t you like conduction? I'll compress your space for control.
Don’t you like to control the ball? I will increase the defensive intensity in the midfield and interrupt your rhythm.
The tacit understanding and special training between Maguire and Bailly caused Sterling and Aguero to go offside frequently.
It must be said that Mourinho is a coach who knows Guardiola very well.
Otherwise, we would not have had 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss against Manchester City during their strong period.
Maybe, this is the so-called obsession?
Facing the midfield defense with Herrera as the core and Kante and Matic as the main players, the two wingers defended without hesitation.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
It can be said that Manchester City's offensive organization has become fragmented, and even the game has become fragmented.
In the 36th minute of the first half.
Manchester United finally received their first yellow card. After Lingard sent Sterling out of the bottom line, he stood there and looked at the opponent for a while.
Of the two of them, one is Manchester United's No. 7 and the other is Manchester City's No. 7.
They have also received a lot of negative comments recently.
But Sterling is different. Under the care of De Bruyne, he achieved a double-double of 22 goals and 12 assists in the league and Champions League last season.
But he is still called the happy boy!
The two No. 7s stared at each other for a while but failed to spark any sparks.
This made the players of both teams who were always ready to go up secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The 39th minute of the game.
Seat B fired a long shot from outside the penalty area, but the shot was reluctant and failed to hit the door frame.
The 41st minute of the game.
The referee did not call the penalty immediately after Kanter was brought down, which caused Fernando to bring down Matic.
The referee scored 50 points each and issued two yellow cards.
Until now, the two sides have only had 5 shots in the first half.
An originally earth-shattering game left many neutral fans confused.
There is always little friction but no fighting. The offensive and defensive transitions are basically completed at 35 meters away from each other.
Kanter and Matic let David Silva and b seatThe kick was extremely uncomfortable. After Herrera took control of Fernando, the Blue Moon Army's offense seemed... as if he had eaten 20 kilograms of melon seeds... and was constipated.
The only difference is that Mourinho had his hands in his pockets on the sidelines, as if he had everything under control.
But Guardiola looked a little worried. He held his chin with one hand as if he was thinking about how to break the situation.
At this time, Lao Zhang, who had not spoken for a long time, started to think nonsense:
"This Manchester United strategy is very interesting."
Lao Zhan was worried. The game was too poor to explain, so he immediately took over the topic: "How to say?"
"Hey, look, Manchester United has actually returned to the routine of last season, but it is a little different. The high position at the beginning The pressing directly disrupted Guardiola's plan."
"That's right!"
"Then, hey, that's how to make Manchester City uncomfortable."
"This Manchester United is a little different!"
The fans in front of the TV looked at the restricted B seat and David Silva, and suddenly felt that what Lao Zhang was talking about Makes sense.
Not only China, but also the commentators from Sky, ESpN, SpoRtS and other broadcast rooms responsible for the Premier League also discovered it.
Although it is difficult for Manchester United to win like this, Manchester City has been contained to death.
Just play whatever makes you uncomfortable, Mourinho never thought about winning at halftime!
"There are 3 minutes left!"
Faria walked to Mourinho and whispered, the plot of the game went exactly as they imagined before the game.
Especially Lingard, who everyone does not understand, starts the game.
But looking at his performance on the court in the first half, especially on the defensive end, he was much better than Rashford.
In the plan, just survive the first half.
Rashford, who is full of energy, will let Mendy know what true terror is.
But at this moment, Mourinho's plan was disrupted.
The last minute of stoppage time in the first half.
Maguire intercepted the long pass that Stones intended to send to Aguero in the backcourt, and in turn sent the ball back with a kick.
Lin Mo on the left exploded with all his strength the moment the football took off. His invincible look on the wing made the Manchester City fans immediately nervous.
But a moment later, the blue figure of Kyle Walker came over like a shadow.
