Chapter 255, Almighty Fullback

"Dear viewers, hello everyone, this is Sky TV, and I'm Morris, the host."

"I'm Raman. It's a pleasure to meet you. Today, the two of us will explain the game for you. This game is the League Cup final of the 2013-2014 season. It is a highly anticipated game that attracts fans from all over the world. The two teams in this game are all from Manchester-Manchester United and Manchester City. These two teams are in very good form this season. They are not only opponents in the League Cup final, but also currently ranked in the Premier League standings. The top two, if nothing else, this season's Premier League trophy will also fall to Manchester."

"This Manchester derby is of great significance to the coaches of the two teams. Both Kintag and Pellegrini have just joined the team this season. The Arabs invited Pellegrini and played in the summer. With a transfer fee of 100 million euros, Manchester City's current lineup is extremely luxurious. Even the bench players on the bench are all big stars. Relying on their super strong main force and sufficient thickness of bench players, they have made rapid progress on four fronts and topped the league table. , Champions League quarter-finals, FA Cup quarter-finals, League Cup final, this season Manchester City has the chance to win on multiple fronts, maybe Pellegrini will create a Manchester City miracle this season!" Raman said excitedly .

At this time, Morris looked at him: "Raman, I remember you are not a Manchester City fan, why are you so flattering about Blue Moon? There are still two or three months left in this season, and everything is still very variable. The final winner is anyone’s guess. As for the winner of this game, I am more optimistic about Manchester United. Since becoming the manager of Manchester United this summer, Kintag has decisively bought many unknown but very practical players. With a strong combat effectiveness, it is also blossoming on many fronts."

Raman shook his head: "Morris, it's not just me, even many football critics are more optimistic about Manchester City winning the League Cup. Regardless of the team's lineup, style of play, or bench depth, Manchester City is higher. It is a big part of Manchester United. Manchester United's biggest offensive support this season is Van Persie. He is currently leading the Premier League scorer list and still shows the strength of a world-class striker. However, due to his injury a while ago, he was unable to play in this game. The substitute striker Icardi was also injured in the last game, and Kintag only has Rooney as a striker in this game, which greatly reduces Manchester United's offensive strength."

"And just now we received the latest news. During training this morning, Manchester United's main right back, Rafael, was accidentally injured and was unable to play in this game. Kintag sent Phil Jones in this position to replace him. Raphael’s position. You know, in the last Manchester derby in the Premier League, it was because of Jones’ mistake that caused a red card. In the end, Manchester United lost 1 to 4. Jones was sent to play in this game, and Jin Taige really had no one available. gone."

Morris also frowned: "It's really difficult for Manchester United to play this game, but I'm still optimistic that Manchester United can win. Let's take a look at Manchester United's starting list: 4-4-2 formation, goalkeeper De Gea, defender Vidic, Smalling, Alonso and Jones, midfielders Kante, Nainggolan, Mahrez and Martial, forwards De Bruyne and Rooney. The seven substitutes are: Alisson , Van Dijk, Ashley Young, Valencia, Carrick, Salah and Nani.

"

"Kintag made a big lineup change in this game. Except for Jones who temporarily replaced Raphael, De Bruyne replaced Van Persie and came to the forward position. Although De Bruyne His performance is remarkable, but this is the first time for him as a striker. The midfield positions are Kanter and Nainggolan, these are two midfielders with strong defensive capabilities. It seems that Kintag is planning to It's about defense."

"On the other hand, Manchester City formed a 4-2-3-1 formation in this game. The goalkeeper is England goalkeeper Joe Hart, and the back line from left to right is Kolarov, Demichelis, Kompany, Zabaleta, the two midfielders are Yaya Toure and Fernandinho, the three attacking midfielders are Nasri, Aguero and Silva, and the center position is Dzeko. And Manchester City have seven very good players on the bench: Milner, Negredo, Javi Garcia, Clichy, Lescott, Pantilimon, Keylor Navas."

"No matter what, today's Manchester derby is destined to spark flying!"

"With the whistle of the referee, the game begins!"

"Manchester City kicked off first. Center forward Dzeko gave the ball to midfielder Silva, Silva kept the ball on the spot, he saw no chance to go forward, and then gave the ball to Yaya Toure behind him Yaya Toure split the ball to right-back Zabaleta."

"Zabaletta is in front of an open field. He dribbled the ball and assisted into Manchester United's half! Mahrez stepped forward to break the ball, and the two bodies were mixed together!"

"Zabaleta wins the confrontation! He squeezes Mahrez and moves on!"

"At this time, Evra blocked his way forward, and Kante also defended!"

"Zabaleta didn't continue to dribble forward, he passed the ball at a 45-degree angle and went straight to Dzeko in the penalty area!"

"Vidic's header! The ball was cleared out of the baseline!"

"Manchester City's offense came again. Aguero quickly advanced with the ball and came to the penalty area, ready to kick!"

"The ball was tackled! The referee stopped the game and awarded a free kick from outside the penalty area. This time it was Nainggolan."

"Let's see who takes this free kick. Several Manchester City free kick players are standing near the ball."

"It's Kolarov! The ball went straight to the corner!"

"Hit the crossbar! All the Manchester United fans broke out in a cold sweat!"

"No one thought that the ball just now was actually taken by the left-back Kolarov. He took the free kick with a fast speed and a tricky angle. Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea tried his best to take off, and then lightly kicked it with his fingertips. The ball was swept, and the ball unfortunately hit the crossbar, and Manchester City lost a good chance to score a goal."

"In less than ten minutes, Manchester City has already had two good scoring chances, and these two scoring opportunities were actually created by Manchester City's two full-backs. This season, Zabaleta and Cole Larov's performance is very stable, not only on the defensive end, but also on the offensive end. Both of them are excellent in offense and defense. They are really rare all-around full-backs in international football!" The successor of the Red Devils
