Chapter 532 The World Has Changed

The game resumed, and Manchester City kicked off again in the center circle. Aguero knocked the ball to De Bruyne, and the Belgian knocked the ball back to Sane.

Perhaps eager to equalize the score, the German did not choose to continue to pass back, but rushed forward with the ball. He first changed direction to pass Harry Kane who came up to press, and then continued to dribble forward. Mbappe came up to intercept, but was dribbled past by Sane.

"Sane! He passed two people in a row!"

Guardiola nodded. He appreciated the German's fighting spirit today and was satisfied with his performance today. Facing Manchester United's defensive retreat, the German's skills and breakthroughs will be able to help the team on the offensive end.

Gundogan came up to intercept.

Facing the interception of this German national team teammate, Sane tried to break through by force, but Gundogan was not at all concerned that the other party was his national team teammate, and stretched out his hand to push Sane, and Sane fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity.

The referee blew the whistle, and he whistled Gundogan for a foul, and Manchester City won a free kick in the frontcourt.

De Bruyne stood at the penalty spot, and the free kick he took flew into the penalty area.

Aguero jumped up to compete for the header, but under Maguire's defense, the Argentine was unable to head the ball out of the angle. This time the header was more straight. Manchester United goalkeeper Romero tried to hold the ball directly, but he underestimated the power of the ball Aguero headed. As soon as he touched the ball, Romero realized that something was wrong and subconsciously kicked the ball out.

………………

Aguero jumped up and headed the ball in front of Van Dijk. He passed it to David Silva.

The Spanish midfielder stopped the ball with his chest, then turned halfway and shot.

The ball flew up and was blocked by Manchester United full-back Valencia with his body while flying towards the goal, and then Kante kicked it to Gundogan who came to meet it in front of Fernandinho.

David Silva immediately raised his hand and shouted loudly, indicating that his previous shot was blocked by Manchester United players with their hands. Manchester United had handball, and this should be a penalty.

Aguero also raised his hand, and he slapped his right hand with his left hand, indicating that Manchester United had handballed in the penalty area.

The referee crossed his hands, indicating that there was no penalty, and then he turned around and ran to chase, because Manchester United did not rush to clear the ball to end the game, but took the opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"Handball? No handball! No penalty! The referee indicated that there was no penalty." Commentator Andy Gray shouted, "Counterattack, Manchester United's counterattack, beautiful long pass!"

After receiving Kante's pass, Gundogan directly made a long diagonal pass to the left side, where Rashford was inserting at high speed.

"Return to defense! Return to defense!" Bravo shouted at his teammates who were still entangled with the referee before.

He was furious, not only angry at the referee, but also angry at his teammates.

Shouldn't he return to defense as soon as possible at this time? As for whether it was a penalty, he couldn't wait for the opportunity of a dead ball? It must be when the opponent quickly counterattacked?

………………

“That was a handball! Absolutely a handball! Damn it!”

In the visiting team’s coaching booth, Guardiola was furious and was spitting at the fourth official when he heard the cheers from Old Trafford. He turned his head and saw Manchester United’s quick counterattack.

Rashford was very fast. He first changed direction and passed Fernandinho, who was desperately defending diagonally, and then continued to dribble forward.

Kyle Walker rushed up to intercept Rashford.

Rashford made a move to pass the ball to Bruno who was following up. Kyle Walker quickly tilted his center of gravity inward and prepared to intercept.

Rashford was waiting for the moment when Kyle Walker lost his center of gravity. Seeing Kyle Walker move his center of gravity and stretch his foot to intercept, he shook his ankle, changed the pass to a dribble, and dribble the ball past Kyle Walker’s side.

Rashford was happy in his heart. He didn’t expect that this veteran of the England national team would be passed by him so easily.

But the next second, Rashford found that he was too happy too early. He saw that Kyle Walker had one foot behind him, just blocking the ball.

Obviously, this veteran of the England national team was experienced and had been prepared.

Damn it!

What a good counterattack opportunity!

Thinking that this counterattack opportunity was buried under his feet, Rashford was depressed and wanted to vomit blood.

Rashford remembered that the captain had told him more than once that wasting opportunities would be punished. Would he also be punished for wasting such a good opportunity?

………………

Just when Rashford was depressed and upset, an accident occurred.

Kyle Walker wanted to turn around quickly to control the ball, but his body turned halfway, and the other leg that was behind did not come over, and then he sat on the ground.

An embarrassing and interesting scene appeared, and the ball just stopped between the two people.

Such an opportunity, Rashford naturally couldn't miss it. The surprised Rashford poked the ball with his toes, and then accelerated himself and passed Kyle Walker.

"Kyle Walker was passed!"

"Into the penalty area!"

Old Trafford cheered.

Mourinho finally recovered from the palpitations. He didn't see clearly whether Valencia had handballed, but he was worried because he didn't have a good relationship with the Premier League referees and he was often targeted by the referees in the game.

Rashford, who broke into the penalty area, faced Stones's steal and pushed the ball sideways.

The camera followed the rolling football, and people saw Harry Kane appear on the rolling line of the football. He was rushing towards the football, and behind him was Zinchenko who was a little panicked.

"Where is Otamendi?" The commentator shouted loudly.

Before he finished speaking, Harry Kane pulled the ball with his left foot, just avoiding Zinchenko's interception, and then he had already turned his right foot. Seeing that Harry Kane was about to complete the shot, he lost his balance and fell in the penalty area of ​​Manchester City. After Harry Kane fell, the big face of the Argentine appeared.

"He fell to the ground, Harry Kane fell in the penalty area, is it a penalty? Or a dive?!" Andy Gray shouted.

………………

The referee's whistle sounded with the huge cheers at Old Trafford. He ran to the penalty area and pointed to the penalty spot!

"Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty!" The commentator had to shout at the top of his voice, because the cheers at the scene were so loud that they could pierce the eardrums.

Manchester United coach Mourinho was stunned at first, then clenched his fists, jumped up, and waved his arms three times in the air. After landing, he applauded to pay tribute to the referee's keen observation.

Manchester City coach Guardiola was already furious. He roared and yelled.

"Penalty! The referee awarded a penalty!" Andy Gray shouted, "He thinks Otamendi knocked down Harry Kane."

Otamendi heard the whistle and turned to look at the referee. He thought the referee was whistling Harry Kane for diving, and then he saw the referee pointing to the penalty spot. The Argentine exploded immediately and was about to rush to the referee. Fortunately, Bravo reacted quickly enough and hugged Otamendi directly, otherwise he would not be able to escape a yellow card.

Kyle Walker rushed to the referee, questioning the referee's decision. He pointed at Harry Kane, who was celebrating the penalty with his teammates: "That guy dived! That guy dived!"

At this time, Kyle Walker didn't care that Harry Kane was also his national teammate and they had a good relationship.

Then, the roaring Kyle Walker got a response from the referee: a yellow card.

Seeing that Kyle Walker was still pestering the referee, Manchester City captain David Silva ran over. He first pulled Kyle Walker away, and then signaled other aggressive teammates to disperse. He was the captain, and he was the one to negotiate with the referee.

………………

No matter what David Silva said, the referee shook his head. Finally, he signaled the Manchester City captain to leave, and then he stood next to the penalty spot and gestured to everyone else to leave the penalty area, so that Manchester United could prepare to take the penalty.

Harry Kane finished celebrating with his teammates and stood outside the penalty area, ready to seize the possible opportunity to make up the penalty. Manchester United's first penalty taker was captain Bruno.

Bruno walked to the penalty spot with the football in his arms.

Guardiola was still roaring angrily at the fourth official in the coaching booth of the home team on the sidelines: "First, the opponent's handball in the penalty area was not called, and now Manchester United's diving fall was called a penalty. What are you going to do?!"

"Mr. Guardiola, please calm down. You have to believe in the fairness of the referee's judgment." The fourth official said sternly with a straight face.

"Fair? What I saw is not..." Guardiola was furious.

At this time, a voice came from not far away: "Respect the referee's judgment."

Faria nodded, and at the same time he was very worried. This is true, but can't you speak more quietly?

If Mourinho hadn't looked very serious, he would have suspected that Mourinho was deliberately provoking Guardiola.

"What did you say?" Guardiola, who was very angry, really choked.

Mourinho turned around and looked over, looking surprised, meaning are you talking to me?

Guardiola wanted to hit someone.

………………

Bruno stood at the penalty spot.

The referee blew the whistle, Bruno took a run-up, one step, two steps, and shot.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Bruno! He easily scored the penalty!"

"2:0! It's incredible. Bruno scored the second goal of the day. Manchester United leads Manchester City 2:0 at home."

"This is Bruno's 11th goal in the Manchester derby. He also tied Rooney and tied for the most goals in the Manchester derby!"

The cheers in the stands of Old Trafford were deafening. The Red Devils fans did not expect the game to go so smoothly. The team unknowingly led by two goals again.

In the memory of many Manchester United fans, it seems that every time Manchester United faces Manchester City, the scene is not good.

When did this situation start to change? It seems that it started when that man came here?

The fans turned their attention to Bruno who was celebrating the goal wildly.
