Chapter 853: We Have Champions!
In the locker room of the visiting team, Kintag looked at the players very satisfied. He smiled and said to everyone: "Guys, some time ago, we often conceded goals in a row in the first half. It was like this against Paris, and against Real Madrid. Same thing, I always give people a pep talk at half-time."
"But one thing I often do during this period is to persuade you not to be too careless after you have a big lead in the first half, but to play steadily and take the second half seriously. You are doing well now."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Hearing what Jin Taige said, the players all laughed heartily.
Kintag went on to say: "Guys, although I am a little tired of talking, I still want to emphasize to you again that you must not take it lightly in the second half. Manchester City fell behind by two goals and will definitely attack with all their strength in the second half. No reservations."
"As long as they attack, you will definitely get a chance to counterattack. Do you know why Manchester City fell behind in this game? They thought they could win us with a fast break of defensive counterattack, but they seemed to forget one thing... ..."
Having said that, Kintag paused for a moment, and said confidently: "Compared to fast break, we are the strongest team on this planet!"
After the start of the second half, the situation of the game was exactly as Kintag expected, and Manchester City made two substitution adjustments. Guardiola replaced midfielder Fernandinho and replaced Silva; replaced right back Sagna and replaced striker Iheanacho. Manchester City's formation became 3-4-3 again.
In contrast to Manchester United, they still haven't changed much. Except for the reduction in the assist rate of the left and right full-backs, the other players still maintain a strong offensive ability.
The situation of the two teams in the second half was much better, especially Manchester City. After they pressed out, they formed a confrontational situation with Manchester United. Even Raman of Sky TV cheered up: "This is how the Manchester derby should feel."
In the 65th minute of the game, Manchester City got an excellent opportunity in midfield.
"The cooperation between Silva and Pogba! The two have a great understanding!"
"Yaya Toure's assist came up, he suddenly took the ball and was ready to shoot from a long distance!"
"Kante took Yaya Toure down!"
"The ball landed right in front of Pogba, and Pogba kicked and shot! The ball went in!"
"With more than 20 minutes left in the game, Manchester City finally opened the scoring account! Pogba's shot was crisp and decisive!"
"1 to 2! Manchester City pulled back a goal, and the suspense of the game resumed!"
At this time, Guardiola on the sidelines squeezed the water bottle in his hand vigorously.
It was great to get a goal back! There is still enough time now, and there is every chance to tie the score!
This game really shouldn't try to play defensively and counterattack. If they had been attacking with all their strength since the first half, then maybe they would have taken the lead by now.
The Manchester United coaching staff on the sidelines were a little anxious.
Phelan put his head in his hands: "It's such a pity to lose the ball! Obviously Kanter snatched the ball, but it bounced to Pogba's feet. It's really unlucky!"
Scholes also sighed: "This is really depressing. A goal was pulled back, and the suspense of the game rose again."
Kintag didn't take this ball seriously: "This ball is just a coincidence, and it doesn't represent Manchester City's offensive situation. Our defense has been good before. Besides, even in the case of 2-0, the game still has suspense."
"Captain, do we need to make substitution adjustments?"
"No need, let's observe and observe."
The minutes and seconds of the game ticked by.
After Manchester United lost the ball, they continued to maintain control of the scene. Although Manchester City's offensive was stronger, Manchester United's occasional counterattacks were more efficient and more threatening.
Manchester City became more and more anxious. In the 80th minute of the game, Guardiola replaced Gundogan, who was physically declining, and replaced him with a new force, Navas. Navas has a stronger breakthrough ability.
Immediately after he came on, he created several good attacking opportunities on the wing.
And Manchester United also used up three substitutions during this period.
Kimmich was replaced by Brasilia, Kroos was replaced by Nainggolan, and Manchester United continued to strengthen their defensive capabilities.
The last substitution was given to Dembele. He replaced Lewandowski on the stage, and Jin Taige prepared to strengthen the counterattack speed.
After Kintag played his last card, Mahrez was completely disappointed.
In this kind of game, isn't he even qualified to come off the bench?
It seems that my future is not in Manchester United...
Manchester City continued to attack, they are now almost all over the line, the game entered stoppage time, and even their goalkeeper Caballero rushed into the Manchester United penalty area to compete for a header!
The corner kick was taken, and Caballero really got the header!
"Caballero header! De Gea blocks it with his fingertips!"
"Sane, who returned to the defense, cleared to the midfield with a big foot, and Manchester City's goal was empty!"
"De Bruyne gets the ball, he pulls the ball to the left and shakes away Yaya Toure who is chasing back!"
"Long shot from a long distance! The ball is in!!!"
"In stoppage time of the game, Manchester United scored the lore goal! They won this game!"
"This shot is more than 50 meters away from the goal. De Bruyne's shot is very precise. He scored twice in this game and is the hero of this game!"
"And Sane, who cleared the siege at the last moment, is also one of Manchester United's brightest new stars! He scored one goal and assisted two times in this game, completely pinning last season's core winger Mahrez to death on the bench!"
"3 to 1! Manchester United can celebrate in advance!"
The Manchester United players have completely relaxed at this time! The game is about to end, and another champion has arrived!
They rushed to the sidelines to celebrate wildly with the fans, shouting loudly!
And the fans waved their jerseys and scarves, jumping excitedly, and the whole stands of the stadium were a little unstable!
The Manchester City players looked at the time sign, two minutes of stoppage time had passed, and the total stoppage time was only three minutes...
This champion...lost again...
"Manchester City re-kick-off, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!"
"This season's FA Cup champion is - Manchester United!"
As the whistle blew, the Manchester United players on the field celebrated wildly with their coaches again!
And the small number of Manchester United fans who came to the away game with the team celebrated in an extremely presumptuous way, and even sang a song they just made up loudly.
"You have tickets! We have champions!"
"You are at home! We are the champions!"
"You are blue! We are champions!"
"You lost again! We have the champion!"
