Chapter 642: Heng Dao Immediately!
After the start of the second half, Manchester City's offense gradually improved. Especially their two midfielders, Fernandinho and Yaya Toure, their hardness has been greatly strengthened. Therefore, at the beginning of the second half, Manchester United was at a disadvantage in midfield control.
In the 59th minute of the game, Manchester City broke through Sterling's left and got a corner kick.
This time Silva sent a tactical corner kick. He passed the ball to Nasri in front of the penalty area. Nasri won the ball and shot angrily, and the ball went straight to the penalty area!
"This time is a good opportunity for Manchester City! Nasri made a great shot! The ball hit the defender in the penalty area, and then fell at the feet of Aguero! Shot! The goal is scored!!!"
"The shot was too close to the goal! De Gea didn't have any chance!"
"2 to 1! Unfortunately, Manchester United was pulled back by the opponent!"
"There is still half an hour before the end of the game, anything is possible!"
This goal made Manchester City see the hope of equalizing the score. After the re-kick-off, the Manchester City players launched a crazy attack, which made Manchester United a little bit overwhelmed for a while.
Seeing this situation, Jin Taige hastily made substitution adjustments. He replaced Lampard, who had declined in stamina, and replaced him with a beast-like midfielder Nainggolan, allowing him and Kanter to form a double midfielder to stabilize the defense.
Kintag's adjustment quickly stabilized the situation. In terms of defensive ability alone, the combination of Kanter and Nainggolan is definitely not inferior to the combination of Fernandinho and Yaya Toure. The two of them are both excellent in terms of physical fitness and golf quotient ability. In the next period of time, the two blocked almost all of Manchester City's offense near the midfield, and Manchester City's forwards had almost no chance to get the ball.
Although Manchester United stabilized their defense, their offensive threat has been reduced a lot.
At this time, Kintag made adjustments again. He moved De Bruyne to the center and took on the heavy responsibility of organizing the offense; while Griezmann withdrew slightly from the forward position to the right and played the right winger , Mahrez also mentioned the winger position earlier. Now Manchester United's formation has actually changed from 4-4-2 to 4-3-3.
In fact, Kintegger has always had this idea to change Manchester United to 4-3-3. However, considering the adaptability of the team and the characteristics of players in each position, Kintag still let the team play 4-4-3. 2. However, during training, he has targeted the team to practice more 4-3-3 play. After all, the 4-3-3 style of play is more flexible and changeable, and players have more room to cooperate.
Since De Bruyne went to the middle, Manchester United's offense has gradually come out. The Belgian can pass energy and has comprehensive skills; while Mahrez and Griezmann on the left and right have more route space, and their performance is getting better and better.
Next, Kintag made another substitution adjustment. He used Fekir to get off Mahrez and continued to strengthen the attack on the left; then he replaced Valencia with Kimmich.
This time, it was all counter-position substitutions. Kinteg wanted players with better physical fitness to attack Manchester City's defense again. The game time is getting less and less, and the physical condition of the players on both sides is getting worse and worse. The replacement of two newcomers has also changed the situation of Manchester United on the field.
In the 84th minute of the game, Fekir made a bold attack, which disrupted Manchester City's defense. He passed the ball to Griezmann on the right in the crowd. Griezmann advanced at high speed, received the ball, and faced Joe Hart directly!
"After Mahrez left the field, Manchester United's attack on the left is still sharp! Since Fekir joined Manchester United this season, he has not shown any discomfort and has quickly integrated into the team. In the Premier League, he is outstanding. His dribbling and ball control allows him to always get good chances!"
"Fekir's pass,
Handed over to Griezmann on the right! "
"Griezmann cuts in at high speed and catches the ball! He faces Joe Hart directly! The goal... oops! Kompany tackled Griezmann to the ground! The referee stopped the game and gave Kong A yellow card for Pani and a penalty!"
"With five minutes left in the game, Manchester United won a penalty! They are now leading 2-1. If this goal is scored again, the game can be declared over early!"
"Let's see who will take the kick?"
After seeing this penalty kick, all Manchester United players were extremely excited! Van Persie rushed to Griezmann, pulled him up, and said excitedly: "Anthony, you must score this goal! We will win this game!"
But Griezmann shook his head: "Robin, it's up to you to take the penalty."
"Why?" Van Persie was taken aback for a moment, and then he quickly realized, "Anthony, are you trying to help me perform a hat-trick?"
Griezmann really thought so, he didn't speak.
Van Persie shook his head: "Anthony, the second penalty shooter in your team. When Lewandowski is not on the court, you should take the penalty kick. And in the usual training, your penalty kick rate is better than mine. Gao, it's up to you to play this ball."
Griezmann shook his head: "Robin, we usually have almost the same percentage of penalty kicks, and there is no question of who is better than the other. And I was tackled by Kompany just now, and now my feet hurt, so in order Considering the team as a whole, it is up to you to take the penalty.”
In fact, Griezmann lied to Van Persie, his feet were fine.
In the usual training, Van Persie helped Griezmann a lot. Van Persie, who has been in the top league of international football for many years, has given Griezmann a lot of help, which makes Griezmann grateful. So he really hoped that Van Persie could perform a hat-trick.
Robin's time at Manchester United is running out, and I hope he can leave more good memories here. Griezmann thought.
Hearing what Griezmann said, Van Persie did not shirk. He put the ball on the penalty spot and prepared to take the penalty.
At this time, Aguero suddenly appeared beside Van Persie, and he whispered to Van Persie: "Are you still going to take the penalty with your injured left foot?"
Van Persie glanced at him, the flames in his eyes rose and fell three times, but in the end they didn't flare up. He sneered and stopped looking at the Argentine, instead focusing all his attention on City's goal.
"Joe Hart was shaking his arms, trying to infect Van Persie's shot."
"Van Persie stood in front of the ball, motionless, expressionless."
"The referee blows the whistle! Van Persie runs backwards... sprints, shoots hard! Goal!!!"
"The ball went straight to the upper right corner of the goal! Van Persie's golden left foot is showing off again!"
"Who dares to slash immediately, but I, General Fan!"
