Chapter 261, The Role of the Core

Since the second half, Morris of Sky TV has not been idle. The game has been one after another. It's just changed, the attacking intensity has overwhelmed City."

"Let's see this attack, another quick counter!"

"De Gea throws the ball to Nainggolan, and Nainggolan dribbles into City's half!"

"Yaya Toure went up, he got entangled with Nainggolan! Nainggolan quickly handed the ball to De Bruyne in front!"

"De Bruyne passed the ball accurately, Martial quickly inserted, and he fell behind Kolarov! Cross to Rooney!"

"Rooney jumps on Demichelis! Header!"

"Joe Hart didn't dare to overdo it, he hit the ball with both fists! The ball fell outside the penalty area!"

"De Bruyne came up! He took a long shot! The ball went in!!! The ball went in!!!"

"After De Bruyne passed the ball to Martial, he kept going forward and waited for this opportunity!"

"He fired a wonderful shot and blasted away Joe Hart's ten fingers! Manchester United led 1-0! They are one step closer to the League Cup championship!"

The moment De Bruyne scored, the entire Etihad Stadium boiled!

Although the number of Manchester United fans is not as large as that of Manchester City fans, they wore red uniforms and shouted loudly to celebrate at the Etihad. In an instant, it was like a huge flame burning the river and the sea, burning up the sea water!

They roared presumptuously in the stands of the visiting team, shouting the names of Manchester United generals such as Kintiger, De Bruyne, Kante, Nainggolan, etc., expressing their incomparable love and loyalty to the team in the most enthusiastic way!

After De Bruyne scored the goal, he waved his fists and shouted loudly, rushed to the coaching bench of the visiting team, and hugged Kintag tightly: "Boss, thank you for bringing me from Stamford Bridge to Manchester United! This goal The ball is for you! Thank you, boss!"

Kim Tag also hugged his lover tightly, enjoying the joy of scoring the lead: "Kevin, the future of Manchester United is yours! You are the core of this team! You are the core of the Triple Crown team !"

All the Manchester United players also rushed to the sidelines, hugged Kim Tag, and celebrated the goal with the fans.

At this time, in front of the coach of the home team, Pellegrini was expressionless, and there was no look of frustration on his face, he just frowned more tightly. While the Manchester United general was celebrating enthusiastically, he came to the sidelines and encouraged the Manchester City players loudly, telling them not to be depressed. There is still half an hour left in the game, which is enough to equalize and overtake.

Then, Pellegrini called Aguero to his side again and told him a few words. Aguero's eyes lit up, he nodded excitedly, and ran back to the field.

After a few minutes, the game continued.

After the re-kick-off this time, the Manchester City players were uncharacteristically. Just now when the score was 0-0, the Manchester City players aggressively attacked and were eager to score a goal. But now that Manchester City is one goal behind, they stabilized instead. Instead of rushing forward, they controlled the ball in the midfield and controlled game rhythm.

Seeing this abnormal behavior, Kintag was a little puzzled: what exactly is Pellegrini doing, why is he not in a hurry to attack?

Not only Kintag didn't understand, Scholes and Phelan were also confused: "What are Manchester City doing? They are the team behind in the game. Why don't they rush to attack?"

Manchester City is not in a hurry to attack, but Manchester United is not satisfied with a one-ball advantage. Since De Bruyne's position has been withdrawn, his vision has become wider. Coupled with the fact that there are fast and good dribbling players like Mahrez and Martial on the left and right, De Bruyne's choices are even more abundant. the next few minutes,

He frequently sent threatening balls, and Mahrez and Martial also cut in or shot from the wing, creating many murderous opportunities. The Manchester United players know in their hearts that if they can score another goal in this important final, the game will basically be stable.

So Manchester United players kept attacking, looking for opportunities to score.

Once Manchester City got the ball, they didn't rush forward, they just made short passes in the midfield to control the rhythm of the game.

Kim Tago couldn't understand more and more, what exactly did Pellegrini want to do?

At this moment, the situation on the court suddenly changed. The Manchester City player who had been in possession of the ball just now passed the ball to Silva's feet. In an instant, Silva suddenly dribbled the ball forward and rushed towards the Manchester United penalty area!

At this time Kanter hurried forward to intercept. But Silva suddenly flicked his ankle, and the ball went directly to the right. At this time, an extremely fast blue figure suddenly appeared on the right. It was Aguero who received the ball!

Kintag told Smalling just now that if Aguero came near the penalty area, let him mark him closely. During this period of time, Aguero has not gotten any good opportunities, so he chose to retreat, wanting to find more opportunities to get the ball.

I don't know when, he actually cruised to the right, found a gap between Manchester United left-back Evra and center-back Vidic, and went straight into the penalty area!

At this time, Evra desperately chased back, but he couldn't catch up with Aguero's speed at all, and saw Aguero arrive in the penalty area.

"Aguero, who had been silent in the second half, exploded! He dribbled the ball into the penalty area!"

"Evra couldn't catch him at all, Vidic stepped forward and made a steal!"

"Aguero sweeps the ball in the middle! Dzeko's poke!"

"De Gea blocked the ball out of the baseline with his foot!"

"This ball is too thrilling!"

"Aguero only took a few seconds from receiving the ball to entering the penalty area, and once he rushed up, almost no one could stop him! Smalling was out of position just now. When Vidic went up, Zhe Coe was unmarked. He also shot from a very tricky angle. Fortunately, De Gea was very responsive and blocked the ball with his foot! Manchester United escaped!"

Jin Taige broke out in a cold sweat off the court!

Only then did he understand Pellegrini's intentions!

It turns out that his possession of the ball in the midfield is fake, and it is true that he wants to take advantage of Aguero's rapid advancement!

No wonder Aguero was not near the penalty area just now, but was wandering in the midfield.

In fact, Pellegrini gave Aguero detachment, allowing him to move anywhere in the frontcourt. Whenever he has the opportunity, he will use his personal technical breakthroughs to create good opportunities to score goals. Pellegrini thought it over, since the overall style of play is difficult to shake Manchester United's defense, then I will give full play to the personal abilities of the core players, let him lead the way with points, create murderous opportunities, and strive for opportunities to score!
