Dick's arrangement is very simple. Use a surprise player like Joel Luca to resist Manchester United's attack on the left - Ronaldo cannot play, and Manchester United's offense must be concentrated on the left. Joel Luca's characteristics can be used to deal with Giggs.
Such a veteran couldn't be more suitable. Even if Tevez attacks from the side, there will be a central defender to deal with him, which will make the defense more stable.
In terms of offense, the focus is on Brown's side. Not only Ribery, but also Barnes who provides assists will play a sufficient role on this side. Nani does not have much help on defense.
If Hargreaves and Carrick come to this side more to fill in, it will also have a greater impact on Manchester United's midfield defense.
Dick is not worried that Ferguson will see through this idea, because even if he sees through it, there won't be many ways to solve this problem. Dick has only taken office not long ago, and even if the fans have great expectations for him, the players
They are all suppressed by his fame, but this alone cannot keep his position stable. Continuous victories will further stabilize this point, especially victories like the Manchester Derby, which will further stabilize his position and prestige.
It has enough effect!
For Ferguson, such a victory is not enough to shake anything, because in the past time, he has already made Manchester United his one-man team.
"I can't afford to lose, but you can afford to lose, so you should lose..." Dick thought confidently in his heart.
After Manchester City's attack, Manchester United quickly launched an offensive. Brown, who had been broken through several times by Ribery, began to assist. After receiving the ball from Carrick, he passed a low pass to the front of the penalty area. Scholes
The ball was distributed without stopping again. The ball was passed to Nani's feet in the corner of the penalty area. Nani volleyed the ball directly without stopping!
For the Portuguese, this shot was very exciting. The ball flew accurately to the goal with fast speed and great power!
However, Hart once again showed his keen reflexes. When the ball flew out, he had already taken off, stretched out his long arm in the air, saw the ball's direction, and blocked the ball with one palm.
go out!
The stands rang with warm applause from Manchester City fans. Although they did not concede a goal in the first two rounds, the two goalkeepers had little chance to perform under Manchester City's defense. Schmeichel also made a mistake in the first round.
In the second round, Iksason had no chance to save, and in this game, Manchester United's offense was also very fierce, and Hart showed his good condition!
This can be regarded as a preferential treatment given by Dick to Hart, and it was his own outstanding performance that allowed him to have such a stage.
The ball that was saved fell to the feet of Barnes. Barnes quickly passed the ball to Yaya Toure who came over to respond. Yaya Toure turned around to protect the ball and then passed it to Parker who was responding. Parker quickly passed the ball forward.
Torres retreats to get the ball.
When Torres got the ball, Manchester United's attackers began to run forward. Soon Torres passed the ball to Ribery and then ran forward himself.
When it comes to overall offense, Manchester City is not very good at it now, but with that kind of small-scale cooperation, Manchester City has gradually developed some tacit understanding.
Torres' forward thrust attracted the attention of Manchester United's defenders, but Ribery did not pass the ball. Instead, he began to dribble the ball forward until Hargreaves rushed toward him. He made an emergency stop and passed the ball.
Passed to Barnes who followed up to receive the ball.
Barnes didn't stop the ball and directly passed the ball diagonally to Torres who was advancing!
Torres made a fake shot at the top of the penalty area, causing Ferdinand to come up to block it, but then he moved the ball to the side to avoid the shooting angle, and then he swung his right foot and volleyed hard!
Vidic, who rushed to cover, was a step too late. Van der Sar, who was jumping up, could not catch the ball. The ball flew past Van der Sar's hands and hit the intersection between the crossbar and the post the next moment.
place, and then bounced to the other side of Manchester United's penalty area!
"It's so suspenseful! I almost scored a goal..." the commentator shouted loudly.
The bounced ball was picked up by Di Natale who followed up, but the position was already very far away. Di Natale was quickly caught by Evra who was returning to defend. He did not force a breakthrough, but turned around.
Passing the ball back, Yaya Toure followed up with a powerful long-range shot, and the ball missed the near post.
It wasn't until the ball hit the billboard behind the goal that everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The series of attacks just now were carried out very compactly, leaving almost no time to breathe. Although the ball did not go in, Manchester City's
The players involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, then sighed, and then began to applaud.
Manchester United planned to use offense to suppress Manchester City's offense, but this time they were blocked by the Manchester City midfielder - Scholes passed the ball back, and Carrick intended to pass it to Evra who was assisting on the wing, but he
Yaya Toure, who was running hard, flew and intercepted the ball midway. When Carrick and Evra were about to flank, Yaya Toure, who was still lying on the ground, swept the ball to the side.
Pick up Parker!
When Parker got the ball, Ribery was already preparing to start on the wing. His running attracted the attention of Manchester United players. So far, Manchester City's offense has been initiated by Ribery, and the threat is quite big.
Even in the first two games, Ribery launched more than 70% of Manchester City's offense, and the effect was very good.
When Manchester United's defensive formation began to shift to the left, Parker did not split the sides, but directly kicked the ball through and passed the ball to Torres who was at the front!
Torres took the ball with his back to the goal, Ferdinand came up to him, and Vidic was also waiting nearby. Although there were only two of them in the penalty area at this time, it was very difficult for Torres to pass the defense of the two of them.
…
But at this moment, Vidic suddenly felt that he had overlooked something...
Then he saw that Torres did not turn around, but directly raised his right foot and quickly knocked the ball with his heel!
The ball quickly flew diagonally between Ferdinand and Vidic and flew to the other side of the penalty area. At the same time, a short figure wearing sky blue had quickly inserted into the penalty area!
Only then did Vidic remember what he had overlooked - Manchester City had two forwards, not just one Torres!
It's just that Di Natale had no sense of presence before. The game has been going on for twenty minutes now. He only got the ball once. The rest of the time he was running silently. He was so inconspicuous that many people felt that
There is no such person on the field...
However, this time he appeared, all eyes were quickly focused on him!
Vidic turned around quickly, then quickly fell to the ground to tackle, trying to intercept Di Natale's shot midway, but he was still a step too late!
Di Natale, who caught up with the ball, did not stop the ball. Instead, he picked up his right foot while running and shot into the far corner!
The ball flew close to the ground, flew past Vidic's outstretched foot, then flew past the hands of Van der Sar who fell to the ground, hit the inside of the far post with everyone watching, and then bounced into the goal...
"The goal is scored! Di Natale! The third goal in three league rounds! This game seems to be the first time I see Di Natale score... You know in the summer transfer
, Di Natale is not eye-catching. Although he and Yaya Toure transferred to Manchester City for a value of up to 20 million pounds, it is generally believed that Yaya Toure's transfer fee is the big one... Officially reported Di Natale
Lay's worth is five million pounds, which is the lowest value player that Manchester City has introduced this season except Hart, who was introduced for free. However, he has performed well since the start of the season. This is already his third goal.
Got the ball! Calm goal killer!"
"Di Natale seized his opportunity! You must know that the attention of the Premier League princes is now more on Torres and Ribery, which gives him more opportunities... If next
If opponents will pay more attention to him in due time, then maybe his condition will drop a lot..."
Various commentators began to evaluate this goal. To be honest, many people were not prepared for this goal, and they did not expect that it was Di Natale who scored the goal - because before this goal, Di Natale was really
It has no sense of existence, and as a result, he scored such a goal as soon as he appeared in front of the camera...
Di Natale ran on the court with his arms open. He began to feel that playing in the Premier League was the right choice. Now under Dick's command, he began to become the main force, and in his eyes, the defenders of the Premier League
He is indeed not very good at position selection. He can always find a gap. He does not need to have much physical confrontation with the opponent. He only needs to run to the right position and there is always a chance to come out.
This is the way he plays as a center, a smarter way.
Dick slapped his hands hard. So far, all his tactical arrangements have been reflected, whether it is blocking the opponent's left attack, using Ribery to deal with the opponent's right defense, and then using Torres as a guise to silence the opponent.
Di Natale's one-hit kill... Although there was a factor in Ferguson's shortage of manpower, being able to achieve such a result was enough to satisfy Dick.
Ferguson shook his head. This goal was a bit helpless. The result of focusing on filling in the right wing was that there would continue to be some disconnects in the middle. Unfortunately, the first time he lost touch, he was caught by Di Natale.
Lived...
Manchester United regrouped and launched an attack, but Manchester City, who had boosted their morale, contained their offensive through crazy running in the midfield. Manchester City's training camp this summer has been very effective. At least at this time, their players are all very good at running.
…
In such a relentless run, it was difficult for Manchester United's offense to be organized, and two long-range shots of good quality were saved one by one by the focused Hart.
After resisting Manchester United's offensive, Manchester City quickly launched another counterattack.
The ball was passed to Ribery's feet again. This time the Manchester United defenders noticed Di Natale's movement. However, Ribery did not pass the ball into the penalty area. Instead, he passed the ball low to the edge of the penalty area and inserted it.
Parker shot directly without stopping the ball. The ball hit the back of Vidic who jumped up, drew a slight arc, bypassed Van der Sar's fingertips and went directly into the dead center of the goal!
This time Dick really raised his hands and jumped. After seeing the ball, he was sure that this Manchester Derby victory would definitely belong to him!
Although the victory is a bit weak... But Jazz, it was not me who caused your players to get injured. You can't blame me for this... In short, I won this derby!
