Chapter 535 Unstoppable

Guardiola looked very unhappy, signaled his assistant to hang up the tactical board, and then he started to speak.

"I know many people are dissatisfied with the referee's enforcement in the first half of the game." Guardiola said, "I am also very unhappy, but one thing I want to say is that the referee's enforcement problem is not our 0-0 first half game. :2Reason for falling behind!”

"Our opponent is Manchester United, one of the greatest teams on the planet. Many people may not like to hear what I say, but you can't deny that this is the reality. We want to beat them, take their place and become the Premier League Even the greatest team in the world still needs to do a lot. The referee's unfair penalty is nothing! Let's fight hard in the second half and tell the world that Manchester City's rise is unstoppable. Yes, even the referee can’t!”

Guardiola was so impassioned that he had been brewing these words in his mind for a long time, and now he was shouting so much that he was even moved.

He glanced at the players, and the effect was quite good. At least the expression of team forward Aguero was moved.

Although his relationship with Aguero is tense, one thing is that Guardiola has to admit that Aguero is the banner of Manchester City. As long as this man is here, even if Guardiola doesn't like Aguero, he can only admit it. This is because this man has indeed always demanded himself according to the requirements of the Manchester City flag and is willing to fight hard for Manchester City.

"The coach is right." Aguero stood up and encouraged his teammates, "Don't think about the accident in the first half. In the second half, we will take back the victory that belongs to us!"

………………

The atmosphere in the visiting team's dressing room at Old Trafford returned to normal.

Guardiola and Aguero do not deal with each other, but at critical moments, both men can temporarily put aside their conflicts and reach a delicate consensus and balance.

Guardiola began to make instructions and adjustments to the tactics of the second half.

"Wide wing, our wing was completely paralyzed in the first half of the game! Manchester United's wing is very threatening. In this case, only when our own wing is up, can we contain the opponent's wing attack!"

"Oleksandr, you were suppressed in the first half of the game. You retreated too much. Our left wing was basically paralyzed."

Zinchenko couldn't express his pain. Facing Mbappe, he was really helpless, but at this moment he could only express his position: "Coach, I know, I will perform well in the second half of the game."

Watching Zinchenko clenching his fists to express his stance, Guardiola nodded.

"David Silva." Guardiola called David Silva's name again, "You need to speed up!"

………………

At the same time, in the home team's dressing room at Old Trafford on the other side, the atmosphere was very good.

After Mourinho communicated with the players about the first half of the game, he began to lay out things to pay attention to in the second half.

"Kilian, how did you feel about playing against Zinchenko in the first half?" Mourinho named Mbappe.

"He was a little nervous, panicked and seemed inexperienced," Mbappe said.

"Very good, in the second half of the game, continue to rush here." Mourinho said, "He was scared when he saw you bringing the ball over."

"No problem," Mbappe shouted.

Mourinho drew a circle on the names of the two people on the tactical board, then pointed to the middle line connecting the two circles, and said murderously: "David Silva and Fernandinho" , the combination of these two people, let me focus on this midfielder!”

After a pause, Mourinho continued: "Even if Manchester City recovers a goal in the second half, don't panic. We will play according to our established plan. We are 2:0 ahead in this game, plus the first leg. At 2:2 on the road, we have achieved a brilliant result.”

………………

SHIT!

Mourinho cursed, and he realized that he really had a bad mouth.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!"

Aguero celebrated as he ran and hugged De Bruyne, who had passed him the ball, amid loud chants from the pro-City commentators.

While the home fans at Old Trafford fell silent briefly, the few Manchester City fans in the stands jumped with joy.

Less than three minutes into the second half, Manchester City scored. David Silva suddenly sent a diagonal pass after dribbling the ball in the middle. This pass ripped apart Manchester United's defense and passed to Lu. Behind K. Shaw.

De Bruyne cleverly moved to catch the ball, then cut inside, pretending to shoot, but with a hidden poke, Aguero held Maguire in the penalty area and half-turned to volley.

1:2!

Aguero helped Manchester City pull a goal back.

While the stands at Old Trafford were filled with boos, the reporters in the media box were applauding. For the vast majority of reporters in the neutral position, the one-sided game was just as boring as the first half.

Now, just at the beginning of the second half, Manchester City pulled a goal back. The first reaction of most spectators was: the game is back on track.

………………

As Manchester City's stars celebrated their goal, Manchester United captain Bruno called his teammates together.

"Don't panic! We are still leading by one goal. We have done a very good job leading Manchester City 2:0 in the first half."

Bruno shouted, trying to stabilize the morale of the team. Losing the ball so early, and the opponent was the powerful Manchester City, which would make Manchester United's players feel nervous.

The players listened to the captain's words, and their facial expressions changed. Those who were nervous looked much calmer, and those who were already relatively calm now returned to normal, and even showed a look of "I'm going to kill you".

Mbappe had just joined the team this summer, and he noticed the changes in his teammates' psychology and expressions, and was very surprised.

This was the first time he felt Bruno's important role in the team in a real game. For this young captain, their teammates had an almost superstitious trust and admiration, as if seeing that person standing on the sidelines, everyone was injected with energy and confidence!

At this time, the players also heard the roar of their head coach: "What are you doing? Why are you panicking? 2:1, only one goal was scored."

Mourinho rushed to the sidelines, trying to get close to the players, and jumped and shouted: "What are you thinking, do you still want to shut out Manchester City? Don't be so arrogant!"

Then, everyone blasted and scattered.

………………

After Aguero scored, Guardiola immediately made a substitution. He replaced Ukrainian defender Zinchenko with Armenian star Mkhitaryan and changed the formation to 343.

Obviously, this goal gave Guardiola hope of reversing Manchester United at Old Trafford, so he decided to fight to the death.

Mourinho observed Manchester City's personnel adjustment with a serious expression. He knew what the purpose of Guardiola's substitution was.

Manchester City's formation adjustment was an asymmetric three-front midfielder formation, but David Silva's position looked more like a left winger. Although it seemed to overlap with Bernardo Silva's position, it was actually using David Silva and Bernardo Silva to attack Valencia's defense together.

This means that Manchester United's pressure on the right will increase sharply. Mourinho now has to consider whether to strengthen the defense on the right or to attack Manchester City on that side.

At this time, changes occurred on the field.

David Silva tried to cooperate with Fernandinho, but Gundogan suddenly rushed up and intercepted the ball in the middle, and then the German directly passed the ball diagonally to the right.

There, Manchester City's original left back Zinchenko had been replaced, and a vacuum zone was formed at this time.

Seeing Manchester United aiming at Zinchenko's original defense area to counterattack, Manchester City's midfielder Fernandinho hurried over to make up for the defense.

………………

After receiving the ball, Mbappe quickly dribbled forward. His dribbling attracted Fernandinho's rush, but suddenly stopped suddenly, and then pretended to pull horizontally, attracting Fernandinho to stretch his foot to intercept, but he pushed the ball forward along the sideline with his arch of the foot.

The shortcomings of the three-center-back system appeared at this moment!

Manchester United right back Valencia inserted at high speed and received Mbappe's pass almost without any defense.

Harry Kane followed up in the middle, and he raised his hand to signal him to pass the ball.

Valencia glanced at Harry Kane and raised his right foot.

Stones rushed up smartly, not to intercept, but to create offside.

With Stones' sudden pressure, Harry Kane was immediately in an offside position.

At this moment, Valencia sent a diagonal pass.

"Offside!" Stones raised his hand and shouted.

But the referee's whistle did not sound. He was running, and the linesman was also running.

"Not offside! Otamendi is behind!" Andy Gray stood up suddenly and shouted excitedly, "Bruno!"

On the left, Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes appeared in everyone's sight. He rushed past Otamendi, who was half a beat slower in reaction, and rushed to the front of the football.

Old Trafford cheered at this moment.

Amid the thunderous cheers, Bruno, who had already formed a single-handed momentum, made a low shot. The football passed by Bravo's left foot and continued to roll into the net.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!"

More than 70,000 Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford, in bars, homes, squares and big screens all over the world... all places where the game can be watched, countless Manchester United fans jumped up.

"3:1! 3:1! We have widened the score again! Manchester United, we are leading Manchester City 3:1!" The radio commentator at Old Trafford shouted excitedly, "Great Manchester United! Great captain!! Great Bruno!!! He performed a hat trick in the game!"
