Chapter 262: Smartness and Power

The core of Manchester United's frontcourt today is De Bruyne. He created consecutive opportunities and scored a goal to help Manchester United lead their opponents 1-0.

The core of Manchester City's frontcourt attack today is Aguero. He mentioned the forward line from the midfield position, and then Pellegrini made him a frontcourt man, using his personal skills at will, looking for goals through breakthroughs and passes Chance.

Manchester United and Manchester City each rely on the core players in the team to lead the team to continuously attack the opponent's penalty area.

In this game, De Bruyne once again played a very high level of competition. He has a very high ball possession in the frontcourt. Combined with the situation on the field and according to his own technical characteristics, he determines the team's offensive direction. De Bruyne has never had rights at Chelsea before. On the court, he faintly felt as if he had returned to the Bundesliga, and he had become the core midfielder who was all-powerful in the Bundesliga back then.

"De Bruyne dribbled the ball and Manchester United's chance came again!"

"As soon as De Bruyne got the ball, the Manchester City players immediately became nervous. His next move was impossible to guess. De Bruyne passed the ball with scalpel-like precision, creating opportunities for several offensive players to score goals. .”

"Martial got the ball this time! He went straight into the box!"

"Demichelis didn't dare to stretch his feet easily! Martial got out of the way and pushed the dead corner!"

"Joe Hart threw the ball!"

"De Bruyne is omnipotent in this game!"

Seeing De Bruyne's wonderful performance, Kintegger off the court is also very satisfied: "If De Bruyne can continue this state, then he is really one of the best midfielders in the world."

The reason why Kintag said this is because De Bruyne still has too few games in the Premier League and the Champions League. He still needs to improve his experience in major competitions.

Looking at the situation on the court, Scholes felt a little regretful: "Although Nainggolan has a good offensive ability, he is still far behind De Bruyne in terms of passing and distribution. If we can have a midfielder with the same excellent offensive ability, cooperate with De Bruyne and have a dual-core attack, we can definitely bring the team back to the ranks of the top European teams."

Phelan was taken aback: "Paul, what do you mean, Manchester United is not a strong European team now?"

Scholes said: "If it weren't for the captain coaching the team, with the current strength of the team, it would be very good to be able to keep the top four in the Premier League."

Phelan agreed: "As far as the midfield position is concerned, Carrick is actually very good, but he is always plagued by injuries, and he is injured for a few days every now and then. Although they are minor injuries, they have a great impact on his state. Fortunately We have already signed a contract with Lampard, and when Lampard comes to Manchester United next season, let him partner with De Bruyne, which will greatly improve Manchester United's midfield strength."

Scholes is also looking forward to it: "Lampard is getting older and more demonic. He has grown older in recent years, and his physical fitness has not declined. On the contrary, his technical level has risen to a higher level. He and De Bruyne are old and new. The combination will definitely produce a chemical reaction."

Listening to the conversation between Scholes and Ferran, Kintag did not speak. He knows that Lampard is only representing the team now, and he will be able to maintain a good state for about two seasons. The purpose of signing him is to let him give more pointers to the young players in the Manchester United team. In Kintag's heart, what he looks forward to most is Cross. If Kroos can really be recruited next season, then Manchester United will have a solid midfield for the next ten years.

Several people from Jin Taige were discussing tactics off the court, and the players on the court were also working hard. Now nearly 70 minutes into the game, Manchester United still leads 1-0. During this time, Manchester City continued to hold the ball in the midfield, looking for opportunities. And Aguero did not hesitate to run in a wide range of physical strength in the frontcourt. This style of play made Manchester United's defense very difficult. Although Vidic and Smalling are tall,

But the speed is far inferior to Aguero. Under Aguero's involvement, Manchester United's defense continued to have loopholes, and Dzeko almost scored two times.

When the game progressed to 75 minutes, Manchester City once again got an offensive opportunity. This time it was still Aguero who used speed to tear through Manchester United's defense.

Although Kintiger made Smalling closely guard Aguero, in all fairness, there is still a big gap in strength between Smalling and Aguero. One is a fairly good central defender in the Premier League, and the other is a world-class striker. The strength gap between the players made Smalling more than capable.

And at this time of the game, Smalling's physical strength has also declined seriously. He saw Aguero get the ball again on the penalty area line, so he quickly posted it.

But this time Aguero did not choose to pass the ball. He pretended to turn to the right to take the ball, then turned sharply to the left and rushed directly into the penalty area!

Smalling was behind Aguero at this time. When he saw Aguero dribbling the ball to the right, he hurriedly leaned forward, shifted his center of gravity, and leaned up. But he didn't expect that Aguero made a fake move very smartly, and dribbled the ball from his left side and broke through!

Smalling was shocked! He hurriedly turned to defend, trying to block Aguero's offensive line. But his center of gravity had shifted, and he couldn't turn around in time. Aguero passed Smalling with a gust of wind.

At this time, Dzeko had pulled the side ahead of time and brought Vidic to the right of the penalty area, so it was too late for Vidic to make up for it. Aguero is agile and got the chance to face De Gea directly!

"Aguero got the ball, he passed Smalling! In front of the deft Aguero, Smalling is as bulky as a log!"

"Single shot! Only De Gea is left in front of Aguero!"

"Shoot! The goal is scored!!! Aguero volleyed vigorously at the goal. De Gea, who performed very well in this game, has nothing to do with this ball!"

"In the 76th minute of the game, Manchester City stubbornly equalized the score!"

At this time, Aguero rushed to the sidelines, celebrating the goal with forgetfulness!

As the core of the game's offense, he was suppressed by Manchester United from the first minute and had no good chances, so he was under tremendous pressure. After scoring this goal, his pressure was completely released!

At this time, the Etihad Stadium suddenly became a rough sea. Manchester City fans cheered and celebrated the goal. Manchester City fans vented their suppressed emotions and enjoyed the equalizer. They firmly believed that their team would go all out and beat their rivals in the same city!

Under the blue waves, the red flames of the Etihad Stadium were immediately extinguished!
