Chapter 956 Leading again
Compared to Evans and Smalling, Phil Jones is still much better, and for now, Phil Jones' performance is not comparable to Smalling and Evans.?
However, Ferguson seemed to prefer to put Phil Jones in the back midfielder, so for this game, out of tactical arrangement, Ferguson let Phil Jones sit on the bench.
To be honest, Phil Jones is more suitable for cooperation with Ferdinand. Because he often plays as a midfielder, Phil Jones has a larger range of movement and his defense is more reliable than Evans.
In fact, Phil Jones and Ferdinand were very similar when they were young. The young Ferdinand also had a large defense area and outstanding defensive ability. However, as he grew older and his physical fitness declined, he was no longer enough to support him.
The game started over. If the goal was crazy to celebrate at the beginning, the opponent was still thinking about pissing it off, then the game has been going on and both sides no longer had that little thought.
In the case of a 2:2 draw, both sides now think about how to win this game instead of maintaining a draw. This is the Manchester derby. In the derby, it is absolutely not allowed to accept a draw, only the winner is lost.
In the 70th minute, Manchester United also created an opportunity similar to Manchester City's goal, but unfortunately, there was no such presence as Li Feng in Manchester United.
Falcao broke through Kompany and was blocked by Johart. The ball bounced back into Manchester City's penalty area. Ashley Young followed up and wanted to be simple, but was blocked by Sabaleta.
At this time, Ashley Young should have chosen to pass the ball, but he did not do so. The result was that the ball was blocked by Manchester City defensive players to clear the ball.
One minute later, Manchester City created another good opportunity. After Aguero's shot, Li Feng and Van Persie attracted the defense, Aguero cut across into Manchester United's penalty area.
But today, Manchester City strikers didn't seem to have any luck in scoring goals. Aguero shot his shot and went out again, giving the ball directly to the opponent.
In the 75th minute, Manchester United hit two against two, Rooney faced Lescott, Falcao faced Kompany, Rooney passed the ball, Falcao held the ball and attacked Manchester City's penalty area, but was strongly intercepted by the Manchester City captain.
The two staged a wonderful offensive and defensive battle in the penalty area, and they were entangled for more than ten seconds. In the end, Kompany ended with a fallen tackle and cleared the ball.
However, at this time, even if Falcao broke into the penalty area, it would be useless. After so long, Manchester City players had already returned to defense, so it was just that the personal offense and defense between the two was really exciting.
Coincidentally, Silva and Smalling fought a personal offensive and defensive battle, but the result also ended with the victory of the defensive players.
It has to be said that the outcome of this contest is really a bit out of the ordinary. You should know that Silva should be the winner in any aspect, but the final result ended with Smalling's rescue.
Then, Manchester City finally got the first yellow card since the start of the game, a flying tackle from De Jong. Carrick entered Manchester City's half with the ball. De Jong flew out a tackle without saying a word.
The result was that Carrick fell to the ground in pain, and the two sides almost clashed again. Although the two teams scored a lot of goals and had smoother offense than driving, there were many conflicts.
After all, in the derby, the players on both sides were already very angry. Li Feng started with Boateng's injury, Silva, Raphael, and Evans retaliated against Van Persie, were all conflict points.
However, Atkinson was very alert to this aspect. When a foul occurred, he immediately ran over and stood between the two teams as soon as possible to block further contact from the players.
"Atkinson almost did it perfectly in stopping the conflict between the players of the two teams." Even the commentator couldn't help but give praise to Atkinson.
Manchester United team doctors quickly entered the court at Atkinson's instructions, and after examination and simple treatment, Carrick did not withdraw from the game.
On the other hand, De Jong's yellow card seemed to open Manchester City's yellow card account. In the next five minutes, Manchester City received two more yellow cards, namely Kompany and Sabaleta.
The yellow card like Kompany was obtained on Falcao, and the one Sabaletta was because he directly pulled the opponent when he was passing by Ashley Yang.
After being pulled, Ashley Young immediately jumped up from the ground, then rushed towards Sabaleta who was pulling him with anger, who naturally would not show weakness.
The big bull, Ashley Young and Sabaleta were holding each other's heads, and they seemed to say these things in their mouths. Yaya Toure, who was closest to the two, rushed over as soon as possible.
However, just as Yaya Toure reached out to Ashley Young, Atkinson appeared in time and passed between Yaya Toure and Ashley Young, preventing Yaya Toure and Ashley Young from separating Ashley Young and Sabareta in time.
At this time, players from both sides also rushed over, but it was obvious that the situation had been controlled by Atkinson, and he took out a yellow card at Sabaleta and repeatedly warned the players on both sides in a severe tone.
However, just after Zabaleta's foul, Manchester City rewritten the score again, just in the 80th minute of the game.
Relying on a corner kick opportunity, Li Feng once again shot from a long-range shot in the penalty area. It has to be said that in this game, Li Feng really seemed to have been abandoned by God.
While all his teammates were creating shots for him, he also saved me this opportunity to shoot, but his long shot failed to break through De Gea's ten fingers.
Yaya Toure held the ball to attract the attention of Manchester United defensive players. Silva moved across the middle at the same time to escort him. Van Persie pulled Ferdinand to the left and Aguero's right running position attracted attention.
Finally, Silva made a comeback from the penalty area, Li Feng held the ball outside the penalty area, and even shot from a long time. In order to ensure the quality, Li Feng controlled the ball and made a slight adjustment before starting the foot.
However, De Gea seemed to be on the pole with Li Feng today, and another heavy cannon was absolutely dead corner, but in the end he was blocked by De Gea incredibly.
However, even so, Manchester City still took the initiative back to his injury. Silva took a corner kick, Kompany scored the first place and headed the ball.
"Evra, Kompani's header hit Evra on the goal line, and the ball bounced back to the penalty area, No. 11, Blue No. 11, Van Persie."
