Chapter 679, 2 World Waves
"With the whistle of the referee, the game began! Manchester City took the lead in this game, and their offensive trident launched a crazy attack at the beginning!"
"Nasiri got the ball on the left, he got the ball forward and swayed De Bruyne!"
"Kante stepped forward to defend, Nasri passed the ball to the right side of the court and handed it to Navas, Navas accelerated past Alonso!"
"Pass to Aguero in the box!"
"Aguero took a shot! Van Dijk blocked it! The ball was held in De Gea's arms!"
"Just at the beginning, Manchester City almost broke Manchester United's goal with a very wonderful attack!"
Jin Taige broke out in a cold sweat off the field!
Manchester City actually entered the rhythm of the game so quickly today!
This game is not easy to play...
Manchester City's whole team was very excited today. They attacked with all their strength at the beginning of the game, which made Manchester United a little confused for a while. But soon, Manchester United gradually regained its rhythm. Under the leadership of veteran midfielder Lampard, Manchester United also launched an attack on Manchester City's penalty area.
"Lampard holds the ball in midfield! He passes to De Bruyne before Fernandinho goes up!"
"Yaya Toure pressed! De Bruyne gave the ball to Griezmann! Griezmann put the ball in the penalty area before the defender Nelson Mandela went up!"
"Lewandowski kicks the goal! It's a little straight! He's hugged by goalkeeper Joe Hart!"
"After Manchester City's opening attack, Manchester United responded immediately. Both teams played very openly today. This game will definitely be very exciting!"
Every season when the two teams meet, there will be a very intense Manchester derby, and in this crucial game, as long as there are no special circumstances, the head coaches of both sides will generally adopt relatively open offensive tactics. Manchester derby tradition.
Therefore, in the full attack of the two teams, the goal will not come too late.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Manchester United passed through a midfield pass, and Mahrez on the left accelerated forward with the ball, swiping past Manchester City's right back Zabaleta, and then suddenly, before Otamendi made a grab. Cut inside!
"Mahrez's inside cut knocks Otamendi down! Long shot! Goal in!!!"
"Mahrez volleyed from the left side of the penalty area, and the ball drew an outer arc straight to the dead corner! Joe Hart once again became the background board of the world wave!"
"1 to 0! Manchester United has the upper hand in this derby final!"
With Mahrez's successful shot, Kintag on the sidelines jumped up happily. Scholes and Phelan next to him were also extremely excited.
For them, every time they face Manchester City, as long as they can score a goal, they can make Manchester United fans extremely excited!
The Manchester United fans cheered loudly in the stands, and the fat Rodney yelled loudly: "Fuck Manchester City! Fuck Manchester City!"
Chairman Cook was even more excited. He waved the flag in his hand and loudly encouraged the fans: "Guys! Louder! Louder! Cheer for us brothers!"
The Manchester City players who were scored were very frustrated. The goal just now was not only the responsibility of Joe Hart, but also the problem of Manchester City's entire defensive system. From the fact that the two defensive midfielders did not make up for it, and then the Manchester City defender was knocked down by Mahrez,
Just now, the entire Manchester City defense line collapsed.
Pellegrini frowned on the sidelines.
It seems that his departure from the team still has an impact on the players.
Thinking of this, Pellegrini came to the sidelines, called the captain Yaya Toure to his side, and gave him a few simple instructions, asking him to protect the back line and do a good job of connecting the midfield and frontcourt.
Back on the bench, Pellegrini looked at Kompany on the bench, and he sighed. If it weren't for the Belgian's injury, his defense might not be so fragile and was blown up by Mahrez.
The game continued.
After Manchester United's goal, Manchester City's offense became more violent. They are like bloody beasts that have been stabbed, and they have become more fierce after being injured, launching a crazy attack on Manchester United's goal.
In this game, Aguero's state is still hot. His running position in the front field has made Manchester United's defense worry. Van Dijk and Coulibaly have grown extremely fast this season, and they have become one of the best central defender combinations in the Premier League. But even with the two of them on the court, it is still very difficult to defend Aguero.
Off the field, Kintag frowned and looked at the Argentine. Although he didn't like Aguero very much because of Van Persie's injury, he had to admit that Van Persie is definitely a top ten striker in the world. Whether it is technology and experience, he is extremely good.
In the 38th minute of the game, Manchester City got a good chance.
This time, it was Nasri's continuous possession of the ball in the midfield that made Manchester United's defense tight. Kanter finally marked him up, and Manchester United prepared to use the best defense to deal with him.
Nasri alone attracted most of Manchester United's defensive attention. Seeing Kante coming up, he didn't dare to overdo it, so he crossed directly into the penalty area and handed the ball to Aguero.
"Aguero got the ball in the box! He's going to turn and shoot!"
"Van Dijk and Koulibaly both mark Aguero and don't let him turn around!"
"Aguero didn't shoot, he passed the ball back in front of the box!"
"Yaya Toure's assist came up! A volley! The goal is scored!"
"Yaya Toure's powerful shot goes straight into the dead corner! De Gea has fully stretched his body, but he is still one step away!"
"1 to 1! The Manchester City duo have returned to the same starting line!"
The team equalized and Pellegrini also stood up and came to the sidelines excitedly. Pellegrini was very happy to be able to equalize the score before the end of the first half.
At this time, the Manchester City fans in the audience were also cheering loudly and celebrating excitedly. But just a moment later, the Manchester United fans at home suppressed them with even louder cheers.
Cook yelled: "Guys, speak up! Let those incompetent bastards understand which team is the pride of this city!"
Beside the coaching bench of the home team, Jin Taige shook his head helplessly: "The players are not to blame for the ball. Yaya Toure's forward shot was too sudden, and this shot is simply unsolvable. I really can't help it."
After speaking, he stood up, came to the sidelines and waved at his players, signaling them not to take this conceded goal to heart, and just continue to attack according to the previous rhythm.
In the next few minutes, the two sides still had offense and defense with each other and played very fiercely, but until the end of the first half, neither team was able to rewrite the score again.
It seems that the outcome of the competition, and the ownership of the champion, will have to wait some more time before the truth becomes clear...
