Aguero has scored in 2 consecutive games, while Dzeko has 2 goals and 1 assist, and incidentally broke the club's goal drought of 5 consecutive games. After 9 rounds of the Premier League, the two have jointly contributed 17 goals in the league.
In terms of efficiency, the two can be called the most terrifying striker combination among the four major Europa leagues.
This game is also known as the battle between Aguero and Rooney for the league's golden boot. Judging from tonight's PK results, Aguero is tied with Rooney with 9 goals and shares the top scorer ranking.
However, Manchester City's 6-1 Derby victory, the largest score in history, and the record of 33 goals in the first 9 rounds of Premier League history (surpassing Arsenal's 30 goals in the 2009-10 season), made Li Yu's
"Tie" seems meaningless. In a practical sense, Aguero is a complete winner. As Zabaleta said before the game: "Li Yu is a world-class shooter, but Aguero is better than him."
In the first half of the game, Aguero played more of a containment role and made a private wedding dress for Balotelli's performance.
In the second half, Manchester United's defense focused on the outstanding Balotelli, giving Aguero room to play. In the 67th minute, Richards broke through from the right and passed the ball diagonally in front of the goal. This time Aguero did not leave the opportunity to outflank him.
For Balotelli, he made a high-speed forward drive to the goal and shot into the net. The goal was exactly the same as the last game against Villarreal.
In terms of overall performance, Aguero is not as impressive as Balotelli, but from the scene of Balotelli actively joking with Aguero on the sidelines after the two were substituted, it can be seen that Aguero's "skills"
The existence of "type" talents has benefited Balotelli a lot, and it is normal to be appropriately grateful.
If Aguero acted as a hero in this game, then Dzeko, who came on as a substitute for Balotelli in the 70th minute, became a complete "utilitarian" with 2 goals and 1 assist in 20 minutes. No wonder "
"Sky Sports" also praised his "super efficiency". In the match against Villarreal, Dzeko wasted 4 must-goal opportunities and was criticized by the media as the king of "indiscriminate shooting". Dzeko scored the first goal in this game
He actually hit me with his knee, the reason for imposing it in the name of "shooting".
With the presence of Aguero and Dzeko, it shouldn't be a problem to exceed the goal set by Mancini at the beginning of the season to score 15 more goals than last season. However, Dzeko and Aguero can play the top four in the current four major leagues.
The goal efficiency of 1 should give Mancini a little surprise.
In the Premier League, Li Yu played 9 times in the first 9 rounds of the league, and Nani played 9 times in the 9th round. However, their results of 12 goals in 17 games were obviously inferior to Aguero and Dzeko's 17 goals in 15 games.
Li Yu has contributed a lot by himself, but he cannot withstand the impact of two people; in the Bundesliga, Bayern and Manchester City are currently in the 9th round. The Bundesliga top scorer Gomez contributed 10 goals, but the team's third
The second shooter, Ribery, only scored 4 goals. The two's combined score of 14 is obviously not comparable to Aguero and Dzeko.
For Aguero and Dzeko, the real opponent comes from La Liga. La Liga is currently one game less than the Premier League, but Messi and Villa have scored 18 goals together, and Ronaldo and Higuain have scored 19 goals.[
Although the average efficiency of these two pairs is higher than that of Aguero and Dzeko, this is not the case in terms of playing time. The 65 million combination of Aguero (38 million) and Dzeko (27 million) has played a total of 65 million in the league so far.
945 minutes, Ronaldo and Higuain 1047 minutes, Messi and Villa 1225 minutes, so even if Aguero and Dzeko are inferior in the total number of goals, the efficiency of 1 goal in 55 minutes is better than that of Barcelona's rival combination.
Words are better than doubts; in terms of efficiency, they are almost as good as Real Madrid's attacking combination, and they are the best in Europe.
Aguero and Dzeko continue to score goals, and coupled with the recent rise of Balotelli, Mancini's iron-fisted suppression of Tevez has not only been praised by the media, but also has been supported by reality. Manchester City captain Kompany recently
In an interview with the "Mirror", he said: "Manchester City is no longer the unruly, extremely self-interested and inconsistent team described by the media, but a steel division that is consistent with the outside world."
Aguero and Dzeko have achieved this. For Mancini, his decision to lay off well-known forwards such as Adebayor, Bellamy, and Santa Cruz also proved to be a wise move. Most people did not expect that,
After reducing the forward number to Aguero, Dzeko and Balotelli, Manchester City
On the contrary, the offensive power has been released to the greatest extent. Judging from this game, Aguero and Dzeko contributed 3 goals to Manchester City on the court in 24 minutes from the 69th minute to the 93rd minute of the game.
Ancelotti regarded this game as a game worth "6 points", but Manchester United lost ugly in this game, which made Manchester City's victory even more important. The last-minute winner
Villarreal slaughtered the Red Devils again in this game. Mancini was pleased that "we have gained confidence."
There is no doubt that Manchester City's lineup lacks the foundation of a strong team, and it is most appropriate to use victories against strong teams to build that foundation. Against the backdrop of harmony in the locker room and Mancini's growing reputation,
Aguero and Dzeko will definitely not become the only life-saving straw for Manchester City's offense, because today's Manchester City is the team that is shaping super "shooters", rather than relying on super "shooters" to help the team!
When Balotelli arrogantly lifted up his team uniform, revealing the provocative words "whylwysme?" (Why is it always me) on the jersey, I am afraid that the vast majority of Manchester United fans will have a spiritual resonance.
But what they were thinking was "whylwysevns?"
In the last round of the English Derby in the league, Evans' obvious handball in the penalty area escaped the referee's eyes, and he also avoided the nightmare of becoming a public enemy of Manchester United. However, this time facing the more powerful Manchester City, Evan
Si finally couldn't stand it anymore. He watched Barcelona score and miss a good opportunity to score a goal and stupidly received a red card. The star of defense who was once the star of defense that Ferguson painstakingly cultivated, in the team's most important game, his identity as the messenger was exposed.
Incisively and vividly.
As the defensive colander last season, Evans' intermittent defensive shock once became a timely blow to Manchester United's defense. Some fans even joked that as long as Evans plays, Manchester United will almost be "10 against 11".
However, at the beginning of this season, Evans was greatly enlightened by the baptism of Manchester United's wild youth storm. In key games against Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool, Evans was given Ancelo.
In an interview not long ago, Evans even said proudly: "
I often tell myself that when I don’t perform well, I should be brave enough to face the pressure and sometimes endure the unpleasant noise. I know that if I don’t perform well this season, I will be kicked out of the team, and I
All I need to do is relax my mind on the court, respond to criticism with performance, and play my own style."
But unfortunately, when the much-anticipated Manchester Derby started, Evans's ease and ease were completely replaced by fear and embarrassment. Facing Balotelli, who has been in hot form recently, Evans experienced a nightmare
46 minutes - until he was sent off by referee Clattenburg.
The first turning point of the game came in the 22nd minute. Milner passed a cross from the left side of the penalty area. Silva moved forward, attracting all the defensive attention of Evans. Balotelli, who was outflanking in the middle, was completely free.
The Italian prodigy easily "shot" from 15 yards away from the goal and broke into the lower right corner of the goal. Manchester City, who had been extremely passive on the scene, scored a crucial goal. What is even more ridiculous is that Balotelli kicked the ball.
At the moment of the attack, Evans wanted to step forward to block the shot, but when he adjusted his center of gravity, he staggered and almost fell. When he stepped forward again and fell to the ground to intercept the shot, the ball had already entered the net.
Originally, Evans had a chance to make up for it. In the 39th minute, Ashley Young used a left corner kick to cooperate with Welbeck, and then made a precise right-footed curve ball to the back point. Rooney headed the ball to the center.
, Evans got an excellent chance to score from the edge of the small penalty area. Evans, who boasts good footwork, raised his thigh, and a powerful and heavy world wave was about to come out, but when the Manchester City player turned his back in fear,
When he went to block the ball, he found that the ball had left the dangerous area - Evans' shot that was full of foreplay actually missed the ball. The ball hit his supporting leg and went to the sideline...
And that's not the worst part. At the beginning of the second half, the second turning point of the game appeared. This time the protagonist of the incident was the unlucky Evans.
In the 46th minute, Aguero sent a direct pass from the left rib. Since the passing force was slightly smaller, Evans, who was in a dominant position, could lean Balotelli on the other side of his body and easily block the ball.
Next. But unfortunately, Evans inappropriately used his "relaxed mentality" in physical confrontation. Evans' weak ball-protecting movements were completely unable to withstand Balotelli's beast-like impact. Life in Italy
The player squeezed Evans behind him and was about to single out De Gea. In desperation, Evans used his hands and feet to pull Balotelli down in front of the penalty area line.
Although he seemed to be angry and kicked the ball away to show his guilt, he could not escape the penalty of a red card.[
This red card also became the main culprit for Manchester United being massacred by their rivals in the same city at their proud home ground. As Ancelotti said after the game: "Evans' red card killed us." You know.
, Evans received a red card in Manchester United's home game against Bolton on March 19 this year. This time he repeated the same trick, making the 23-year-old Evans "gloriously" become the successor to Roy Keane.
The first Manchester United player to receive two red cards at Old Trafford.
In the "Sky Sports" post-match fan rating, Evans undoubtedly received an ultra-low score of 19 points (out of 10 points), and the evaluation he received was: he was messed up by Manchester City players before being sent off.
Busy and busy. Opt's post-match statistics show that before Evans received this red card, he did not make a tackle, not even a foul, and only had a pitiful clearance, which palely proved that he is a core player in the team.
The presence of a defender.
Why did Evans repeatedly put the team in dangerous situations, but always managed to gain Sir Alex's trust and regain opportunities?
In terms of mental attributes, Evans can indeed be regarded as a player with a "big heart" and has a strong immunity to setbacks and failures.
Evans once said frankly in an interview: "When you look back, you will find that many young players disappeared after one or two outstanding seasons. For a period of time, I really felt that I had survived it.
During this difficult stage, I have somewhat relaxed my requirements on myself. In the past two seasons, I have been too relaxed. When an unexpected blow came unexpectedly, I knew that I had to regroup. What I am more proud of is that
, I will never evade my responsibilities and mistakes."
But unfortunately, although Evans had a mentality of giving up others, he did not use enough focus and ability to support his "general style."
After this campaign, Manchester United's proud record of 19 consecutive home league wins across seasons, 25 unbeaten games, and 37 unbeaten games at home in all competitions came to an end. The 5-goal deficit was also the team's biggest home defeat in 50 years.
And the most painful home derby in the past 56 years, all of this is largely due to Evans.
Many years later, when people talk about those classic Manchester derbies, this game will inevitably become a highlighted topic of conversation. At that time, people may not remember Balotelli and Dzeko’s two goals, nor will they remember Xi Jinping’s goals.
Silva’s masterful midfielder will not remember Mancini’s rout to commemorate his 100th game in charge of Manchester City, but he will definitely remember the red card that plunged Manchester United into the abyss - Evans, you are Manchester United
The culprit of the fiasco!
Sir Alex kept Evans and let Pique go, but if he continues to perform like this this season, will Ancelotti keep Evans next summer? The fate waiting for him is probably to be purged.
Since the establishment of the Premier League, Manchester United has lost to Newcastle and Chelsea with a score of 0-5 in the 1996-97 season and the 99-00 season respectively, and both won the Premier League championship that season, but these two games were
On the road. But this time Manchester United was scored 6 goals by their opponents at home. The opponent was Manchester City, the Derby rival who had only won one goal at Old Trafford since 1974. Such a result made the British
The media was in a frenzy.

"Daily Mirror" reported with the title "The away team defeated Manchester United with 5 goals and came out on top". The station joked that Balotelli started a fire in his bathroom, which allowed him to bow his head in this world-famous derby.
Congratulations. Balotelli not only scored two goals but also scored a goal
It was hot and caused Evans's red card, which can be said to be the "most popular" player in the game. The scene of Balotelli stripping off his clothes after scoring a goal and showing his "whylwysme?" will also become a scene.
A topic that will be brought up frequently in the future.
"The Sun" also believes that this is a victory for Balotelli. Balotelli's two key goals demonstrated his ability, and the arrogant and domineering celebration after the goal also illustrates from one aspect, Being able to celebrate like this shows that he does have a talent that others don't have.
"Sky Sports" described the possible epoch-making significance of this game as "Manchester City Launches Derby Revolution". The website believes that Manchester United's failure was largely due to problems in the back line. The absence of captain Vidic made the Manchester United's defense is a bit shaky, and Ferdinand (Weibo) seems to be slowly bidding farewell to his top level. "Manchester Evening News" also believes that Manchester City used its devastating offense to break through Manchester United's unstable defense, which also contributed to the You have earned yourself bragging rights for a long time to come.
The Guardian, which has always been known for its tradition and seriousness, wrote an article saying that the rhythm of the game displayed by Manchester City in the first half was very important. The balance of offense and defense allowed Manchester United to find no loopholes. When opportunities appeared in the offense, Manchester City He also grasped it well and showed a strong attitude. The newspaper also believed that Ferguson's preference for Evans prevented Phil Jones from starting the game. Now it seems that it may be a wrong decision "Daily Star" also believed that Evans' performance largely determined the trend of Manchester United. The responsibility for conceding the first goal and the red card directly affected the trend of the game.
In terms of data, the "Daily Telegraph" rummaged through the box to find out the data to prove the significance of this game. The newspaper said that this is the most goals Manchester City has scored at Manchester United's home stadium in the past 85 years since 1926. It is really surprising that Manchester United, which has always been known for its stability, can lose to this extent.

Manchester City caused Manchester United's worst home defeat since February 1955, when Manchester United The 0-5 defeat at home was also a gift from Manchester City. The newspaper also pointed out the grudges between Manchester United and the referee Clattenburg and the fourth official Webb. After this game, several Manchester United fans He will hate the referee Clattenberg even more.
