Chapter 358 There are back and forth
After more than 20 minutes in the first half, Yang Mo assisted Balotelli to score, unable to accept Manchester United's loss at home, and immediately launched a counterattack.
And Manchester United, who went all out, did cause huge troubles for Manchester City, and once played against Manchester City at halftime.
However, after leading the score, Mancini quickly made adjustments to the lineup, changing two people in 10 minutes.
Minar and Dzeko were replaced, and the two backcourt defenders Barry and De Jong played.
Obviously after taking the lead, Mancini has anticipated Manchester City's upcoming counterattack.
After Mancini's adjustment, although it seemed that Manchester United had the upper hand on the scene, the ball possession rate even exceeded 60.00%.
But in the face of Manchester City's defense, Manchester United's advantage on the scene is difficult to convert into an effective offense.
In the several attacks around Manchester City, it is generally difficult to break into the Manchester City penalty area, let alone a threatening shot.
On the other hand, on Manchester City's side, although there were only a few attacks after the first goal was scored, all of them put Manchester United's defense in jeopardy.
When the game progressed to 37 minutes in the first half, a turning point that was enough to change the game appeared.
Manchester United launched an attack in the frontcourt. Rooney passed the small pea Hernandez diagonally in front of the penalty area. Hernandez took a long shot from the top of the arc, but the shot was directly saved by Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
The ball saved by Joe Hart fell in front of Kolo Toure, who made a decisive big-foot clearance and sent the ball out of the penalty area.
After the football flew out, it was grabbed by Yaya Toure near the midfield. Relying on the connection of the Toure brothers, Manchester City launched a counterattack.
After receiving the ball, Yaya Toure, who always likes to attack forward, chose to dribble across the midfield, but was pressed by Fletcher who was chasing him.
In desperation, Yaya Toure chose to pass the ball towards the frontcourt.
At this time, facing Yaya Toure's pass, Silva in the frontcourt is behind, Yang Mo is in front, and the two are closest to the Manchester United penalty area.
Yaya Toure's pass was looking for Silva who was at the back, but when Silva received the ball, Anderson was clinging to him to press.
Facing Anderson's pressing, Silva made an unexpected and stunning pass in motion.
On one side of Silva's body, he used his back to block Anderson from reaching out, and kicked his right foot at the falling football, so that the football flew towards Yang Mo again before it landed.
Looking at the falling football, Yang Mo accelerated and threw away Rio Ferdinand who was defending him, and with a pad of his right foot, he controlled the ball to his feet.
After receiving the ball, only Manchester United central defender Evans remained between Yang Mo and the penalty area.
As long as he passes Evans, Yang Mo will be single-handed.
Can Evans block Yang Mo? Of course it is very difficult. Although the Northern Ireland teenager has worked very hard, Yang Mo just swayed Evans aside with an easy bike.
After being shaken away, Yang Mo saw that Yang Mo had reached the top of the arc with the ball, and he was only one step away from breaking into the penalty area to achieve a single goal.
Thinking of the consequences of Yang Mo's single-handed attack, the young Evans turned around and threw Yang Mo down with a football tackle.
The fallen Yang Mo followed the football and rolled into the penalty area. Although he was not injured, he looked quite embarrassed.
And the most critical issue is that this attack was ended helplessly by Evans.
However, although Evans' impulsiveness helped Manchester United block Yang Mo, such a passionate move is destined to usher in the penalty of the referee.
The referee Mark Clattenburg trotted all the way to Evans, apparently ready to draw cards.
Watching the action of the referee, Ferguson on the sidelines nervously stood up from his chair.
Finally, when he saw the smear of red that the referee took out from his pocket, he covered his face with his hands weakly.
With the appearance of the red card, Zhan Jun's excited voice sounded in Penguin Sports live channel.
"Red card! Red card!"
"The young Evans paid the price for his impulsiveness. The referee of this game, Mark Clattenburg, was not polite in the face of the foul that had just ended Yang Mo, and showed the first red card of the game."
"Judging from the replay, although Yang Mo did not step into the penalty area, after breaking through Evans, he actually completed a single-handed fight."
"The reason why the referee Mark Clattenburg gave the red card so decisively was entirely because of Evans' deliberate blocking of the single-handed ball. Evans' red card is not unjust."
"However, it is a pity that although the referee gave Evans a red card, he did not award a penalty kick, because Yang Mo's body did not enter the penalty area when the foul occurred."
At this time, the scene of Evans walking off the court was playing on the screen. Zhan Jun sighed, "For Evans, this game is a complete nightmare."
In fact, for Manchester United, Evans being sent off was more than his own nightmare, it simply dragged the entire Manchester United into the abyss.
Originally, the back line had to deal with Yang Mo, and the defensive strength was a bit stretched. Now that there is one less person to fight, the next game will be even more difficult.
Sure enough, when Evans was sent off and the game resumed, Manchester United's offensive wave came to an abrupt end.
At this time, although Manchester United has not completely retreated, it is not as easy as before if they want to attack again.
In order not to collapse the situation on the field, Ferguson immediately replaced Little Pea Hernandez with defender Phil Jones after Evans was off the field to strengthen the defense of the backcourt.
With such reluctant efforts, Manchester United finally ended the first half without Evans' impulsiveness causing the team to fall behind again.
However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are no decent defensive players on the Manchester United bench at this time. These players on the field can stop Manchester City for a while, but they will definitely not be able to stop the whole game.
After entering the second half, Manchester United is very likely to collapse suddenly.
Of course, if you want to ask who else regrets it besides Ferguson at this time, it is undoubtedly the Manchester City coach Mancini.
Seeing Evans sent off, Mancini couldn't help but start to regret his first-half substitutions.
If you can persist, with Miner and Dzeko on the court, there is no need to wait until the second half, the first half should collapse.
However, think well that he didn't replace Yang Mo, as long as Yang Mo is around, everything is possible.
After a short intermission, the second half of the game began quickly.
Although Manchester United fell behind in the first half and the main central defender was sent off, the Red Devils fans at Old Trafford still maintained this extremely high enthusiasm, burning the stands into a hot flame with red, using the most enthusiastic Cheers, cheering for the Manchester United players.
However, not long after the start of the second half, Manchester City used an attack to extinguish the enthusiasm of the Red Devils fans.
Facing Manchester United's cautious defense, Manchester City did not engage in any fancy tactics, just opened up their posture and attacked with all their strength.
Yaya Toure dribbled the ball forward in the middle and gave the ball to Silva just after halftime. After Silva dribbled the ball and was intercepted by Manchester United, he turned and passed the ball diagonally to Yang Mo on the right.
Yang Mo also didn't take too much after receiving the ball this time, but chose to play the ball quickly and hand it to Balotelli in the middle.
During the half-time break, Mancini emphasized that it is necessary to use the pass to tear through Manchester United's defense, and form a situation of playing more and playing less with fast passing.
At this time, officially in accordance with Mancini's instructions, the series of passes after the opening of Manchester City really exhausted Manchester United, which has one less man to fight.
Especially after Evans was sent off, it directly caused a gap in Manchester City's defense.
After Balotelli received the ball, in order to prevent Balotelli from attacking, Manchester United's defensive players had to send more troops to defend the center. This directly led to Evra being the only player defending Yang Mo.
Over there, Balotelli rushed the ball to the front of the penalty area, but suddenly knocked the ball back to the right.
Facing Balotelli's pass, Yang Mo stepped on the ball with his left foot and pulled it along the right side. While throwing away Evra, he had already rushed into the penalty area.
At this time, Yang Mo, who was on the right side of the penalty area, was only left between Manchester United goalkeeper De Gea and the goal.
Evra, who got rid of him behind him, did not dare to attack Yang Mo, who was deep into the penalty area, because he had already received a yellow card. A penalty will be given to Manchester City.
But Evra didn't dare to stop Yang Mo, and the other players were not in a hurry to defend. De Gea, who attacked and blocked Yang Mo alone, was Yang Mo's opponent.
The body swayed, and a huge ox tail was thrown out, and De Gea was wiped clean in an instant.
After that, facing the empty goal, Yang Mo nudged with his left foot and completed his first goal of the game.
"Beautiful~! Yang Mo scored a goal! Yang Mo finally scored a goal!"
"Less than 2 minutes into the second half, Yang Mo extended Manchester City's advantage to two goals!"
"I think the domestic audience watching this game should be like me, and they have been looking forward to Yang Mo's goal for a long time!"
"From the initial pass to the final goal of Yang Mo's passing Evra and De Gea, this attack is not only a display of Manchester City's team strength, but also the most direct manifestation of Yang Mo's personal strength."
"In the face of Manchester City's pass control, the shortcomings of Manchester United's lack of defense finally emerged. Obviously, Manchester United did not want to defend Yang Mo, but that they did not have enough people."
"Manchester United can't stop Balotelli in the middle, but Balotelli can be blocked. Evra obviously can't stop Yang Mo alone. Obviously, Manchester City has found a way to win."
"The most important thing is that there is still a yellow card on Evra, which also limits Evra's defense against Yang Mo..."
Accompanied by Zhan Jun's commentary, in the Old Trafford stadium, the Red Devils fans who had been buzzing since the second half looked at the score on the big screen with complicated and extremely heavy emotions.
Although the fans are not as professional as the coaches, they can also see that if the game continues to develop like this, then Manchester United's game may...
After all, the fans don't want to think about it anymore, after all, this is the Manchester derby.
Their opponent is the team they have been ridiculing all the time, but today, the noisy neighbors, neighbors without honor, and upstart neighbors in their mouths are very likely to give the Red Devils a lot of money on their pitch. A loss.
But after the Manchester United fans began to feel heavy, the small group of blue in the middle of the red began to sing differently.
The sound of "Blue Moon" took advantage of Old Trafford for the first time.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Manchester City's two-goal lead may have been careless. Manchester United, who seemed to have fallen into despair, suddenly played an attack that everyone could not imagine in the 64th minute of the second half.
Yang Mo broke through with the ball on the right side of Manchester United, staring at Evra and Anderson's defense and completed the cross after the bottom cut. Silva in front of the goal shot forward, but the football was replaced by Manchester United's central defender Phil Jones I went with my feet.
And with the help of Phil Jones' block, Manchester United directly launched a sudden counterattack.
Rio Ferdinand made a big-foot clearance and sent the ball to Ashley Young in the middle. Ashley Young dribbled the ball across the half and chose to cross the ball to Rooney on the left.
After Rooney received the ball, he stared at Barry's defense and passed the ball diagonally forward again, where Nani successfully received the ball under the interference of Kompany.
At this time, the continuous passing has brought Nani to the front of the penalty area of Manchester City. Feeling the interference of Kompany and seeing the double-teaming of Manchester City players such as Kolo Touré, Nani made a gesture to continue to drive the ball towards the penalty area. Attack, but the next moment, he suddenly turned around and passed the ball diagonally backward.
At this time, everyone saw Manchester United No. 24 Fletcher rushing over, aiming at the football and volleying.
The football kicked by Fletcher was fast, and despite Joe Hart's desperate saves, he was not able to block the ball.
In the end, Manchester United managed to regain a point through a surprise counterattack when they seemed to be at a disadvantage.
"In the 65th minute of the second half, the Jedi counterattack from Manchester United scored the goal of No. 24 Fletcher."
"I have to say, this goal is very Manchester United style, tenacious, decisive, and exquisite coordination!"
"This goal, Manchester City is indeed too careless. The dominant Manchester City seems to have forgotten that their opponent in this game is Manchester United!"
"For the fans, this back-and-forth game is exciting enough, and the Manchester derby should be like this."
"One to two, although Manchester United recovered a goal, but the next game is still difficult to play..."
Although Zhan Jun is still optimistic about Manchester City's victory, at Old Trafford, the Red Devils fans regained their morale because of Manchester United's goal.
Cheers rang out all over the sky, and the red flames once again burned in the stands of Old Trafford.
On the sidelines, Mancini couldn't help but started yelling and cursing as he watched Manchester United score because of the player's carelessness.
Although his voice may not be heard by the players, Mancini must make this gesture to stimulate the players' relaxed attitude.
After Manchester United's celebration ended, a goal allowed Manchester United to regain their morale. Although it was difficult to replicate the raid just now on offense, they successfully contained Manchester City's offense on defense.
Facing the steady and steady Manchester United, Manchester City attacked with all their strength, but it was difficult to win for a long time.
This anxious battle continued until 79 minutes into the second half, when the game finally ushered in a turning point...
