Chapter 792: Cautious Manchester United

? When the game is about to start, the commentators on the commentary stand are already in place.
Before the start of the game, they entered the state of work and began to introduce the starting lineups of both sides of the game and some opinions to the audience in front of the TV.
"Manchester City has won six consecutive victories in all competitions and four consecutive victories in the Premier League since the beginning of the season, and their number of goals, conceded goals and various statistics are amazing. But in this game Before the start, some opinions questioned Manchester City's achievements, thinking that their five-game winning streak is not high, because their opponents are not too strong teams. This has caused extensive discussions in the media and many Manchester City fans. I am very dissatisfied with this statement..." Letkinson uttered, "Man City’s first game at the beginning of the season, the Community Shield Cup and Manchester United reached a two-to-two tie in 90 minutes, but They finally won the trophy through a penalty kick!"
"In fact, in the confrontation between Gao Bo and Guardiola, the draw is already Guardiola's best result..." Redknapp added, "In front of Gao Bo, Guardiola's record I am really ashamed to speak up."
While the two commentators were chatting, players from both sides began to line up!
Manchester's derby was originally full of gunpowder, coupled with the fierce competition between the two sides in the league championship last season, and this season, and even in the future, both teams may be contenders for the league championship.
The rivals in the same city, and the fierce competition between the two sides in the league, this makes the smell of gunpowder between the two teams even more intense!
The DJ on the scene introduced the players of Manchester City with a vigorous and passionate voice!
Behind the name of every Manchester City player, you can always get cheers from the mountains and the tsunami!
When it was the turn of the Manchester United players, the DJ's voice became weaker.
The Manchester City fans naturally responded with sharp boos after the name of every Manchester United player!
Such an away environment is naturally far from friendly to the players of the visiting team!
The Manchester City fans at home are full of confidence that they will win.
"The players of the two teams are already coming in! Let's take a look at Manchester City's starting list! Goalkeeper Oblak, central defender Umtiti partner Kompany, left back Kolarov, right Defender Trippier, two midfielders are Casemiro partner Fernandinho, front midfielder is Griezmann, left is Sanchez, right is David Silva, forward Hazard, today's Manchester City It is still a 4231 formation!"
"As for Manchester United, the starting goalkeeper is David De Gea, the center-back combination is Otamendi partner Hummels, left-back Alba, right-back Kyle Walker, and the three midfielders are Thiago. , Pogba, Modric, three forwards Douglas Costa on the right, Pedro on the left, and center Rooney! Guardiola still sent a 433 formation! Both sides can be said to be the main players net!!"
.......
The huge cheers of the fans on the scene or other sounds made the atmosphere of the whole stadium warm up.
Wait until both sides are on the court and stand in their respective positions. The voice stopped slightly.
Just like the preparation period before the climax, the fans are also waiting for the referee to blow the whistle.
After a series of pre-match ceremonies, Manchester City won the right to pick the side. They chose the field opposite to their pre-match warm-up, so that when they launched their offense, they could play on the half-court they had adapted to!
And Manchester United got the kick-off right. They can kick-off first and control the football on their side from the beginning of the game.
So sometimes, winning the right to pick sides is not a good thing.
Kick-off may be more important.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the start of the game.
The result of this game, to some extent, can have a certain impact on the Premier League this season!
With a whistle, the game begins!
There was a loud shout in the previously quiet stadium.
It's like something exploded!
Game start!
....
At the beginning of the game, Gao Bo has been sitting on the coach's bench.
Guardiola is on the sidelines.
But both head coaches are in the same mood at the moment.
Both sides value this game very seriously.
In the previous Community Shield Cup, the two teams may not take this game too seriously, but in the league, for two direct opponents, this game is related to a six-point game. !
Gao Bo's plan is naturally to win the game and completely kick Manchester United out of the league championship.
Because once his team wins, it means they have to lead Manchester United by eight points!
With a score difference of eight points, this is already a relatively safe score gap!
If it is the second half of the schedule, an eight-point difference is enough to declare that Manchester United can no longer catch up with Manchester City.
But now the league has just begun. Although the eight-point difference is still very large, Manchester United has not lost hope.
As for Guardiola, his minimum goal in the away game is at least not to lose. On the basis of not losing, it is the pursuit of winning!
Without losing, Manchester United is still five points behind Manchester City.
Once Manchester United wins, they can close the point difference to two points.
This is not a too troublesome gap for Manchester United.
But once you lose, with an eight-point difference, this is a relatively big pit.
Even if there is still a whole season, Guardiola is not sure to fill the hole.
Therefore, under the guidance of such a mentality, Manchester United in this game appears to be more cautious.
From the beginning of the game, they slowly controlled the football, facing Manchester City's frontcourt press, Manchester United's pass was as safe as possible.
Pass the ball to the side with fewer Manchester City players and maintain possession of the ball, even if it is temporarily not attacked, it cannot be lost.
Two minutes before the game~EbookFREE.me~ Manchester United's control was pretty good.
After two minutes of possession, Manchester United finally started their first attack.
Modric transferred the ball to Pogba. Pogba turned around to protect the ball and sent a wide-range transfer ball!
The football accurately found Douglas Costa on the right side!
Douglas Costa was very fast, he pushed the ball forward with his chest, and then quickly hit the bottom line!
The football passed close to the baseline.
Rooney in the middle grabbed a shot and the football was blown away!
This is Manchester United's first shot.
Guardiola patted his palms slightly from the sidelines.
The attack this time gave him a little peace of mind.
