The Manchester Derby is about to begin. Manchester United, which lacks its main center Ibrahimovic, has worried many fans and football experts. Although Rashford has great potential, it takes time for him to grow up, and Ibrahimovic Mović's playing experience and ability are urgently needed by this Manchester United.

What makes Mourinho gratified is that Van Kerry is in excellent condition as always, and the central defender also has a stable Van Dijk.

In the game as a guest at the Etihad Stadium, just complete the defense and leave the counterattack to Van Kerry, who is in excellent condition.

As the Manchester City team anthem"Blue-Moon" played on the Etihad Stadium broadcast, players from both sides followed the Atkinson referee team into the stadium.

"aoaooaoaooaoooooooo——"

Suddenly, a huge roar like a tsunami swept through the entire Etihad Stadium, and every fan present was happy to contribute.

Feeling the aura of fanaticism rushing towards his face, the blood in Fan Carey's body seemed to be flowing faster, giving him a sense of déjà vu.

The second round of the Manchester Derby this season must be won!

The game kicked off at 7pm local time. Manchester United, which had a kick-off advantage, took into account the lack of lighthouse Ibrahimovic and focused on stability in offense.

Of course, it is also directly related to being a guest.

But without Ibrahimovic as a fulcrum, Manchester United felt that whether it was a counterattack or a positional battle, it lacked an obvious connection point and its offense was not three-dimensional.

Rashford is fast and has pretty good minor skills. The problem is that he won't get any benefit at all when meeting the steady Kompany.

Mkhitaryan is definitely slow, so the task Mourinho assigned him before the game is more like an attacking midfielder leaning to the right.

As a result, Manchester United's leading striker Van Kerry took on a huge task.

In addition to completing breakthrough tasks on both wings, he also has to step in appropriately to shoulder the scoring task when Ibrahimovic is absent.

In the blink of an eye, five minutes into the first half, the home team Manchester City gradually took the initiative on the court, attacking one after another like a tidal wave.

Guardiola and Mourinho both stood in their respective coaching areas, watching the game intently.

As the two coaches with the highest annual salary in today's world football, neither one is willing to be weaker than the other, especially Mourinho. He is still at a disadvantage in the historical battle with Guardiola. He hopes that as Van Kerry becomes increasingly mature, Get back soon.

Unfortunately, Manchester City has an absolute advantage, and the problem caused by the lack of Ibrahimovic is bigger than thought before the game.

Manchester City launched a tidal wave of offensives under the continuous cheers of the home fans. Before the game, Sane and Sterling, who were compared with Van Kerry by the media, began to make trouble on the wing and create murderous opportunities.

Fortunately, Manchester United's defense has shrunk relatively deep, limiting the space Sane and Sterling need to break through.

In addition, Guardiola took into account Van Carey's super personal combat ability, and his team did not dare to attack unscrupulously.

The hat-trick in the Manchester derby in the first leg is still fresh in my memory.

Time passed by second by second, and the game reached ten minutes. The ball possession ratio given by the broadcaster had reached 64, 63%:37%.

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai was worried:"It is necessary for Manchester United to regain some of the ball possession ratio, otherwise they will not be able to find a sense of counterattack when switching from defense to offense, and it is not very realistic to rely solely on Fan Kairui's personal counterattack."

Commentator Zhang Lu nodded:" After all, a football match is a team sport. No matter how capable Van Kerry is, he still needs the support of the whole team. Continuous defense is indeed not conducive to the visiting team Manchester United to reverse the situation. They must strengthen their possession of the ball."

Mourinho is also aware of this, but his players are in Manchester City Under pressure, players can't help but speed up the passing of the football, causing mistakes.

Three minutes into the game, De Bruyne's 45-degree cross from the right was like a rainbow crossing the Manchester United penalty area. The Manchester City fans in the audience were looking forward to it.

Van Dijk chose his position very well and easily beat Aguero to complete the header clearance.

Fellaini relayed the ball from the top of the arc in the penalty area, and his header went backwards. Rashford, who was in a better position, withstood the pressure from Kompany behind him, and hastily used the arch of his left foot to pass the ball to Van Kerry, who was running ghostly.

Van Carey did not take the ball forward when receiving the ball this time. Instead, facing the defense of Zabaleta and Fernandinho, he chose to control the ball on the spot. He pressed back and forth with his arched palms to signal his teammates to stabilize, no need. Too hasty.

The close-up shot given by the on-site director happened to focus on the young and mature Fan Kerry. Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai smiled and said:"Don't look at Fan Kerry's young age, only 18 years old, he is more mature than any teammate on the court! Look at this The gesture is obviously hoping that his teammates can calm down in the next game.……"

BBC commentator Lineker also laughed:"Can you believe that Kerry is only eighteen years old? But the facts are before our eyes! He is really a super monster who surpasses Cristiano Ronaldo and Leo Messi!"

Zabaleta Seeing that Van Carey was paying attention to his teammates, he had an idea and suddenly started to go around from the sideline to steal the ball.

Fan Kairui looked at the four directions, and his eyes lit up as he was worried that he would not be able to break through just now!

I saw his right foot that was stepping on the football pulled to the left, using his left foot as the axis, completed a 90-degree counterclockwise turn, used his body to block Zabaleta who was going outside the sideline, and faced the direction of attack.

Fernandinho suddenly realized something. He had to make an immediate decision to defend Van Carey one-on-one! foul!

The distance between the two was still more than two meters. Van Carey lowered his left shoulder, raised his right foot, and smashed the ball to the left sideline. Fernandinho, who was about to commit a foul, instinctively followed Van Carey's center of gravity and tilted to the right.

At the same time, Van Carey pushed hard with his left foot. The huge reaction force caused his body's center of gravity to twist back, his right shoulder sank, and the outside instep of his right foot quickly moved the ball forward to the right.

Fernandinho's heart thumped:"Oops!"

Any hope of completing Van Carey's defense was instantly shattered!

Yaya Toure kept in mind the instructions of head coach Guardiola before the game to pay attention to Van Kerry's movement when switching from offense to defense. Therefore, the moment Rashford passed the ball to Van Kerry, he consciously moved to the right side of his own defense, which was just in time. Van Carey uses his body's rhythm changes to break through midfielder partner Fernandinho

"wuwuuwuwuuuuuuuuuu——"

When the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium saw Van Kerry dribbling towards the center line, they booed in a panic, trying to influence Van Kerry's accelerated dribbling.

Yaya Toure is experienced in the game and is ready to foul.

However, at this moment, Fan Kerry, who was dribbling forward, secretly used the outside instep of his right foot to suddenly pass the ball horizontally to the right. Yaya Toure turned his head to look, raised his brows, and immediately changed his mind, turning around and changing to defense. Man-marked Pogba.

After passing the ball, Van Carey did not stop where he was. He moved forward at high speed along the left wing.

Before Zabaleta, who was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness, had time to return to defense, Fernandinho was still behind him. The left wing was the most suitable route to advance! as expected!

When Pogba got the ball, he didn't show off his stick skills. He didn't make any adjustments. He wrapped the entire football with the arch of his right foot and pushed it hard. The football quickly rolled from Manchester United's half-circle arc to the attacker on the left. zone!

The on-site director gave a long shot, and the fans sitting in front of the TV just saw Van Carey advancing at full speed, like a red lightning.

The Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium felt a thump in their hearts, their pupils shrank, and they realized that the situation was not good!
