As soon as the game started, he opened the scoring for the home team with a wonderful volley. How can one not be excited about such a start?

…………
…………
In the twenty-seventh round of the Premier League, Manchester City visited Old Trafford.
Both sides suffered injuries before the game.
On Manchester United's side, many defenders including Ferdinand and Evans were injured and missed the game.
This also makes the outside world very worried about Manchester United's defense.
However, before the game, Guardiola, Begiristain and others all agreed that injuries to multiple defenders would make Manchester United play more conservatively.
Manchester City also had personnel injuries. Adam Johnson was injured and Sanchez was also injured in a training session. As a result, Manchester City had to arrange Milner as the right winger in this game, partnering with Di Maria on both wings.
.
Ferguson also aimed at the characteristics of Manchester City and arranged a defense line composed of Evra, Vidic, Smalling and O'Shea. The midfielder even paired Anderson, Scholes and Fletcher, and also played at home.
Defense is the main focus, and they do not intend to go head-to-head with Manchester City, but focus on defending their own goal.
But even so, just three minutes into the game, Manchester City still created its first threatening attack.
Su Dong pulled to the left, received Di Maria's cross, turned around and got rid of Smallin, completed a one-two with David Silva, and knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area.
Toni Kroos, he turned around and quickly crossed behind Vidic.
After Toni Kroos stopped the ball, he understood the situation, glanced at the penalty area, and kicked the ball straight to the right side of the penalty area.
Su Dong quickly stepped in, stopped the ball, and shot low.
The ball went from between Van der Sar and the right post of the goal and into the Manchester United goal.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!"
"Manchester City scored first!!!!"
"It's still Su Dong! It's still Su Dong who scored Manchester United's goal just three minutes after the start!"
"The timing of this goal is very consistent with the previous home game against West Bromwich Albion. Manchester City has made a dream start in two consecutive games!"
"Su Dong showed his excellent competitive form, especially under Manchester United's tight defense. He continued to cooperate with his teammates and showed a very tacit understanding. David Silva and Toni Kroos both showed strong performance.
Ability to pass and control the ball.”
"Manchester United's situation is in danger!"
…
Ferguson was obviously very aware of his situation, so after conceding a goal, he immediately asked the team to retreat across the board.
"Retreat! Retreat them all!"
Ferguson walked to the command area and kept signaling to Scholes and Vidic, asking the team to start retracting all three lines and try to ensure the defense in front of the goal instead of trying to attack Manchester City like they did at the beginning.
Launch an attack.
He could see it clearly now.
If before Su Dong joined, during the first Manchester derby, Ferguson still had some thoughts about Su Dong and Manchester City, then now, especially after Arsenal's 1-9 home defeat, he has seen it clearly
.
Facing Manchester City, especially Sudong, the only option is to strictly defend and stick to this path.
If Su Dong is allowed to continue to perform, Manchester United may become the second Arsenal team at any time.
When that time comes, Manchester United will no longer want to continue to chase Manchester City in the standings.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally, during the winter break, they worked hard to catch up with Manchester City. If they lose at home, then Manchester United will really be a complete defeat. This season
It will be difficult to compete for the league championship again.
After figuring this out, Ferguson decisively took a defensive stance.
There is no way, Manchester City's offensive is too fierce, and Manchester United can only avoid its edge.
…
When the game reached the 13th minute, Marcelo cooperated with Di Maria on the left. O'Shea fouled Marcelo and gave Manchester City a chance to take a free kick in the frontcourt.
This is a free kick from the left wing of the frontcourt. The possibility of hitting the goal directly is almost impossible, but it is still quite threatening.
After Marcelo got up from the ground, he took the penalty without hesitation.
On the left wing, the placement of his cross is also quite good.
David Silva stood aside to provide support, and the two of them stood at angles, making it unclear who would make the move.
In Manchester United's penalty area, players such as Pepe, Kompany and Sudong were all pressing forward.
At this time, Manchester United's problems were exposed.
Smallin is young, Vidic can't stand alone, and Ferdinand is away. Manchester United's defense has weaknesses in preventing high balls.
According to statistics compiled by Manchester City assistant coach Torrent before the game, Manchester United's header conceding rate this season accounted for 30% of the total goals conceded. In other words, one of the three goals conceded was a header.
This ratio is considered very high.
From this data, it is not difficult to see that Manchester United does have problems in preventing high balls.
This is true whether it is Van der Sar or the entire defense line.
But unfortunately, Ferdinand was injured tonight at his high point, while Manchester City's high points were all intact.
This allowed Manchester City to show its advantage in Manchester United's penalty area.
Ferguson was also very anxious on the sidelines and kept shouting to the players, indicating that they should deal with it carefully.
Especially a few high points against Manchester City.
Pepe, Kompany and Sudong are all tall and all players with excellent header ability. Who should be guarded and who should not be guarded?
What's even worse is that they stand very far apart, making it difficult for Manchester United's defensive players to defend.
Following the referee's whistle, David Silva took a run-up and feinted a shot. Marcelo quickly followed up and sent a cross with his left foot, accurately sending the ball into the penalty area.
The pass from the Brazilian left back did not go directly to the front and center to find Pepe and Kompany, but went straight to the back.
Su Dong was originally ambushing in the direction of the penalty kick and seemed to be attacking the center.
But in fact, when the whistle sounded, he quickly ran towards the back and quickly penetrated into the back.
When Su Dong rushed to the back point, only O'Shea was defending Manchester United's back point. After Su Dong jumped high, O'Shea was unable to stop him. He could only watch as Su Dong rose into the air and threw away
Head attack.
Marcelo's pass accurately found Su Dong, who headed it into the Manchester United goal from close range.
Van der Sar responded, but was out of reach.
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!"
"In the 13th minute, just 13 minutes into the game, Manchester City scored again!"
“It’s still a goal from Su Dong!”
"God, he's already scored twice, and it's only been thirteen minutes!"
"We can all see that Su Dong is in very good condition tonight and has already scored twice. It looks like he is going to repeat the result of the previous 9-1 win over Arsenal in the away game."
"Not only Sudong, but also Manchester City's overall performance was quite outstanding. Not only did they firmly control the ball, but they also organized waves of offensives. Ferguson's team was at a disadvantage from the beginning, and now it is even more...
Manchester City scored two goals in a row.”
"We must see that Manchester United's ball possession rate at their home court is far inferior to that of their rivals in the same city. Even the number of shots taken is far inferior. Manchester United has not even taken a shot yet."
"Manchester City showed very strong dominance. Even at Old Trafford, Guardiola's team did not leave any face to Ferguson and his Manchester United. It seemed more like they were going to kill Manchester United in one go.
!”
"It has to be said that Manchester United has been chasing closely behind Manchester City since the Christmas schedule. Now it seems that Manchester City wants to use this derby match to get rid of Manchester United in one go and lay a solid foundation for winning the Premier League this season.
Base."
"Ferguson's team is in trouble!"
"Without Ferdinand, it will be difficult for Manchester United's defense to restrain Su Dong, and now they are already trailing 2-0."
