Chapter 373 A fast and furious peak battle
A few minutes ago, Fernandinho and De Bruyne had just experienced the impact of their summer trip, and now they are here again!
The two of them staggered and almost fell to the ground!
But even if we chase after him, it’s too late!
The summer journey has swept by like a storm!
At this time, there are only a few defensive players left!
Outside the penalty area, the two central defenders Otamendi and Kompany took a wrong look and made an instant decision.
Otamendi is grabbing, Kompany is holding on!
Is it because Ibrahimovic is in the penalty area and he poses a greater threat than Xia Xing?
Is that the Manchester City captain’s trade-off?
But he did underestimate Xia Xing.
At this moment, Xia Xing's threat is definitely greater than that of Ibrahimovic!
Xia Xing broke away from the defense and faced Otamendi who was trying to grab him, and suddenly he pulled horizontally and changed direction!
Otamendi didn't expect Xia Xing to be so fast!
In the previous tactical training class, Manchester City carefully studied the videos of Manchester United games, and even watched the game videos of Xia Xing, Ibrahimovic and other players in the previous team.
Moreover, Xia Xing had a close relationship with Manchester City for several seasons before.
They know very well how fast Xia Xing travels.
Didn't you expect that Xia Xing's speed is faster now?
No, it’s not only faster but also more flexible!
Whether it’s the calf or the ankle, it shakes faster and passes people more dexterously!
Just like that, Cristiano Ronaldo's flexible thigh swing was suddenly superimposed on Messi's agile calves and ankles!
Otamendi was shaken away!
He just rushed in, so he didn't intend to do it!
Fight for your body!
But Fu didn't expect that Xia Xing used his excellent dribbling to get past him!
There is a gap in front of Xia Xing!
Manchester City's two full-backs were restrained by Rooney and Mkhitaryan and could not go forward!
Summer trip begins!
Diagonal pass?
No diagonal pass!
Just when Xia Xing was about to shoot, he found Kompany shoveling!
In front of him, a human wall formed!
Moreover, Kompany's tall body can not only block the low ball, but also the ordinary shot!
Although Xia Xing has excellent skills and can play in the corner, he has a better choice!
Just pass it diagonally to Ibrahimovic!
After a slight pause, waiting for Kompany's slide to pass, Xia Xing's diagonal pass went straight to Kompany's head!
When Kompany slid over, the ball flew past his scalp!
Go straight to Ibrahimovic!
nice shot!
Ibrahimovic is overjoyed!
Facing Guardiola, no one looks forward to scoring goals more than him!
Step back slightly and swing your legs in place!
Explosive!
The ball hit the near corner!
It was so close to the goal that goalkeeper Bravo had no time to react!
"The ball went in!
"Ibrahimovic's shot is extremely powerful and domineering!
“That shot, let alone Bravo, even if Yashin was there, he couldn’t have saved it!
"Wonderful shot!
"Before that shot, Xiao's passing was even more world-class!
“Even better than Ibrahimovic’s shooting!
"Xia received the ball in the middle and suddenly moved forward!
"Fernandinho and De Bruyne were unable to guard him and were knocked away by him!
"Want to ask for a closed-door defense?
“It can’t be shut down at all!
"And when facing Otamendi,
"Has Xiao directly chosen to use softness to overcome strength?
"The dexterous movement of the ankle and the horizontal pull directly swayed away the pressing attack from the wrong side!
"And when Kompany put the shovel in, Xia didn't even make a decisive pass!
"The ball passed over the head of the Manchester City captain!
"All Ibrahimovic did was deny the shot!
"Xia Jueqiu took more than half of the credit for that goal!
"1 to 0!
"In the case of Manchester City's continuous fierce attacks to no avail,
"Manchester United's counterattack worked!
"Destroy the enemy with one blow!"
Killing the enemy with one blow, yes, that's not it.
At this time in the stadium, the Manchester United players cheered and hugged excitedly!
So cool!
Having been suppressed for more than ten minutes, the Manchester United players were under tremendous pressure.
It seems like the ball will be lost at any moment.
But no, Xia Xing's breakthrough created a murderous intention!
Mourinho on the sidelines was also extremely excited!
That's great!
Then it’s not the Manchester United he’s looking forward to!
Solid defense, sharp offense!
In this strategy, Xia Xing is the absolute core!
Regardless of the organization in defense or the sharp advancement in offense, Xia Xing is a world-class performer!
marvelous!
If you take Donglai, please continue to be steady, and you can win Donglai in that game!
On the other side of the pitch, Guardiola didn't look too frustrated.
It's just a goal lost, it's nothing.
The game is very time-consuming.
As a world-class coach, he has great confidence in his team.
The game restarted and Manchester City still had the initiative.
Xia Xing still retreated appropriately and did not press too close.
He strictly implemented Mourinho's tactical requirements.
Two consecutive assists in defense disrupted Manchester City's offense.
This made Mourinho even more happy on the sidelines.
He just said that if Manchester United has xia, all championships will have a chance!
No, he was a little worried.
That Manchester United team had a good offensive line and a strong midfield line, but the defense was average.
Bailly, who he likes, needs to continue to adapt and adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.
Several other defenders are just Premier League-level defenders and do not possess world-class capabilities.
But Manchester City's fault is not that it is at the Premier League level. They have the strength of a world-class team.
So from the beginning to now, the reason why the team has not conceded a goal is probably because of the strong interception ability of the midfielder and the great goalkeeper De Gea.
The performance of several defenders was quite satisfactory.
Can they keep a clean sheet despite Manchester City's continued onslaught?
Soon, Manchester United's defense answered Mourinho.
In the 25th minute of the game, ten minutes after Manchester City conceded the goal, they created another good opportunity.
During that time, they were constantly passing the ball and trying to find holes in Manchester United's defense.
But he never found a suitable passing gap.
Bu Nao's continuous passing and controlling kept Manchester United in a high-pressure state.
De Bruyne once again sent a wonderful pass!
Sterling on the right pulled out to catch the ball and broke through to the baseline again!
Ashley Young pressed hard and defended fiercely!
Sterling couldn't cut outside and chose to pass back!
Aguero retreats to the penalty area line!
Receive the ball with your back and control the ball to the east of your foot!
Smalling behind him quickly grabbed for it!
Aguero didn't hesitate at all and knocked his heel!
The ball passed Smalling!
Smalling missed!
Aguero circles around to catch the ball!
Kicking and volleying!
The ball hits the near corner!
"The ball went in!
“That shot was fantastic!
"De Bruyne's pass is extremely accurate!
"Sterling was also very decisive in his widening and passed the ball in the inverted triangle neatly!
“Aguero takes the ball with his back, and his deft heel strike is the finishing touch!
"Go around and catch the ball, kick and volley!
"There is nothing De Gea can do!
“That combination showed Manchester City’s wonderful passing and control!
"1 to 1!
"Both sides are back on the same starting line again!
“That game was really exciting!
"An extremely fast and fierce peak battle!
"This is the most exciting game since the start of the Premier League this season!"
