Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were surprised to see that on the pitch, Manchester City, who had one less player than their mortal enemy, was actually dominating Manchester United.
This is definitely a scene that makes everyone feel incredible.
Once upon a time, what a powerful hegemon Manchester United was to Manchester City?
But now, this former king has been beaten to the ground, barely surviving, and even being in danger from time to time by Manchester City.
Since the beginning of last season, Su Dong has led Manchester City, proving their strength to all fans time and time again, trampling Manchester United under their feet time and time again, and this time, they obviously feel it more deeply.
This time, one player was sent off with a red card and a penalty kick was awarded shortly after the start. In the first half, they fell behind 3-0. Any other team would have fallen into despair at this time.
But under such circumstances, Manchester City still stubbornly launched charges against Manchester United and organized attacks again and again.
Without strong cohesion, tenacious willpower, and the ambition to unite and forge ahead, it is simply impossible to achieve this.
From now on, if anyone says that Manchester City are mercenaries, then throw this game out directly.
Have you ever seen such a mercenary?
If they were really mercenaries, they would have been thrown into disarray by now.
More importantly, Manchester City's strength was fully demonstrated in the second half.
Although there is one less player, Manchester City still controls the situation and the ball on the field. The two forwards Sudong and Aguero are at the front, and the midfield and backfield are constantly creating opportunities for the frontcourt.
In the 55th minute, Ferguson replaced Nani with Scholes, obviously to strengthen the team's offense.
But after all, Scholes has been away from the team for a long time. After he came on the field, Manchester City decisively stepped up the pressure on him, especially the opponent Milner, who was almost fighting against Scholes. This made
Scholes, who had not been on the court for more than half a year and was assigned to play without even going through regular preparations, felt very uncomfortable.
In the 59th minute, when Scholes wanted to pass the ball after stopping the ball, Milner stepped in and stole the ball, and quickly sent a direct pass forward.
Aguero quickly moved forward to the right side of the penalty area. After catching up with Milner's pass, he glanced at the middle of the penalty area. Sudong was quickly following up. Aguero faced Evra and suddenly made a flexible emergency stop.
Started, and then passed the ball to the right side of the penalty spot.
After Su Dong caught up, he blocked Ferdinand with his body. Before the ball hit the ground, he directly raised his right foot, faced the falling ball, and fired a volley.
The ball flew out at a very fast speed and penetrated into the right side of the Manchester United goal. Goalkeeper Lindegaard dived sideways, but was out of reach.
Two to three!
"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"
"Man City chases another goal, two to three!!!!"
"Oh my god, from the beginning of the second half to now, in 14 minutes, Manchester City chased two goals in a row. This is really unbelievable."
"Is this still the Manchester derby we know?"
"Manchester City looked like a wolf throughout the second half. They pressed and pressed like crazy, causing Manchester United to make constant mistakes. Blue Moon seized on Manchester United's mistakes and created threats again and again."
"Look at the Manchester City players. After Su Dong scored, they all returned to half-court. They didn't intend to celebrate. They were all waiting for Manchester United to start again. Obviously, they also hope that the game will continue according to their current rhythm and momentum.
Go down."
"If it were a basketball or volleyball game, at this time, head coach Ferguson should call a timeout in time to interrupt Manchester City's momentum and rhythm, but there is obviously no such timeout button in football games."
"Ferguson may have to make adjustments through substitutions. Anderson is running out to warm up. He may be substituted at any time."
…
"Everyone!"
In Manchester City's half, Su Dong, wearing the captain's armband, called all the players over and formed a circle.
"Just play like this, maintain this momentum, don't give the opponent any chance to resist, rush them with all your strength, knock them all down, we must strive for at least two more goals, do you hear me?"
Su Dong made no secret of his fierce fighting spirit and appealed loudly, even the Manchester United players on the other side of the stadium heard clearly.
"I heard it!" Manchester City's teammates also responded in unison.
Everyone huddled together, with their heads on their heads, forming a circle.
"Manchester City must win!!!" Su Dong shouted.
"Come on! Come on!!!" the teammates responded in unison.
…
The game restarts.
Manchester City still adopted a pressing style of play and continued to pursue Manchester United fiercely.
Ferguson quickly replaced Welbeck with Anderson, further weakening the offense and strengthening the team's midfield interception and defense.
This has to be said to be a very surprising and even weird thing.
The dignified Manchester United were ahead of their opponents in terms of score and superior in numbers. As a result, they were in a one-sided situation and were passively beaten. Not only that, they even dared to press the main attacker when facing Barcelona.
Coach Ferguson gave in at this time and chose to strengthen defense.
When have you ever seen Manchester United so embarrassed?
When have you ever seen such a bizarre scene?
But even so, even if Manchester United strengthened their defense, they were still passive on the scene. Manchester City was like a tiger descending from the mountain, madly launching an offensive towards Manchester United.
Now both sides are taking a gamble.
Manchester City is working hard and wants to equalize or even reverse the score in one go. This is not impossible.
Although one person is missing, with Manchester City's strength, it is completely possible, especially when Su Dong is also on the court.
Manchester United is trying their best to defend the third goal, stop Manchester City's attack no matter what, and try their best to defend the last fortress, because they know very well that as long as Manchester City scores the third goal, it is possible
The fourth goal was scored.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Even if the fourth goal is not scored in this game, there is still a high probability that the team will lose in the next play-offs.
Ferguson has very rich coaching experience, so he knows this better than anyone else. Because of this, he would rather give up his principles and strengthen defense to hold the final bottom line.
The two sides were tug-of-war, just like in a tug-of-war, to see who could not hold on first and be pulled over the line by the other side.
Guardiola did not make substitutions, but patiently maintained the team's rhythm and momentum.
Time passed like this minute by minute, both sides were trying their best.
Sixty minutes...
Seventy minutes...
Eighty minutes...
Manchester City has been unable to score again. Manchester United is extremely tenacious and has gathered Manchester City's attacks time and time again.
Blue Moon organized and planned offensives again and again.
…
Su Dong was closely guarded by Manchester United.
Obviously, Ferguson was very aware of Su Dong's threat. He even relaxed his defense of Aguero and focused on defending Su Dong.
The Godfather of the Red Devils obviously knows very well that at such a critical high-pressure moment, the test of the player's ability is the most severe.
Whether in Atletico Madrid or the Argentine national team, Aguero has never shown the ability to stand up at critical moments. He is indeed superior, but he still lacks a lot of firepower compared to Sudong's level.
This also put Su Dong under heavy defensive pressure and it was always difficult to use his punches.
In the 83rd minute, Trippier made a diagonal pass into the penalty area at a 45-degree angle from the outside of the 30-meter area on the right, causing chaos in the Manchester United penalty area. Su Dong stood at the best spot and wanted to head.
When the ball went for the top, it was flanked by two players, Phil Jones and Ferdinand, and goalkeeper Lindegaard also abandoned the goal.
As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Su Dong couldn't even take off to fight for the top, and the ball was knocked out by Lindegaard.
The Manchester United defensive player made another clearance. As soon as he left the penalty area, Milner stopped the ball. After adjusting, he passed the ball into the penalty area.
It was still a battle between Su Dong and Lindegaard. The Manchester United goalkeeper hit the ball again with both hands. Aguero grabbed the spot and headed the ball towards the goal. As a result, Smalling cleared the ball out of the penalty area.
Busquets followed up and headed the ball towards Manchester United's penalty area. Anderson snatched it away and kicked it towards Manchester City.
This continuous wave of offensive attacks made everyone in Manchester United break into a cold sweat.
But before the ball fell, Pepe decisively pressed forward, got ahead of Rooney, stopped the ball forward with his chest, then drove the ball forward himself, and after looking in a certain direction, quickly passed the ball to the right.
Trippier had already rushed to the right side of Manchester United's penalty area this time, stopped Pepe's ball, made a slight adjustment, and passed the ball again with his right foot, directly into the penalty area, and still went to Sudong.
Manchester City's offense is very determined, and they still have to beat Su Dong.
Su Dong saw Trippier's cross in the penalty area and felt that the ball was too high and surrounded by defensive players, which would not give him a chance to adjust. So he made a prompt decision and accurately spotted the ball's landing point.
With his back to the direction of attack, he hung upside down and kicked the ball toward the goal behind him with his right foot.
Lindegaard still wanted to hit the ball before Su Dong, which caused him to position too far outside, and the goal behind him seemed empty. Su Dong suddenly made an upside-down golden hook, and Lindegaard
Although he reacted immediately and took action to block it, how could he stop it?
The ball flew over Lindegaard's head and fell to the goal behind him.
Phil Jones desperately chased back, trying to clear the ball before it entered the ball, but failed to kick it.
The ball went into Manchester United's goal again.
At this moment, the entire Etihad Stadium, and even all the fans sitting in front of the TV watching the live game, were stunned.
Evened!
It evened!
After forty minutes of hard work, Manchester City finally equalized the score!
And that’s even with one less player than Manchester United!
Su Dong was completely stunned, but soon he heard the sound of Chris Foy's whistle. He jumped up from the ground excitedly, turned around and rushed to the sideline, roaring all the way.
, kept roaring.
This time he didn't hide his excitement and excitement.
