Manchester City equalized the score and Mourinho sighed, but he did not blame Bailly. De Bruyne's pass was indeed very penetrating and no one kicked it.

If Bailly hadn't been flexible enough to clear the ball, Kolarov behind him might have scored directly.

It can only be said that Manchester City is lucky and cannot blame the defense.

Mourinho came to the sidelines to applaud the players and said that it didn't matter if he lost the ball. The key was to learn from the loss and avoid making the same mistake in future games.

After celebrating the goal, Sane was still excited, and a feeling of elation swept through his body.

He consciously looked for Fan Carey in the crowd, but what made him depressed was that Van Carey didn't look at him at all.

It seems that he is being sentimental...

Sane naturally clenched his fists and snorted in his heart:"I will definitely score more goals so that you will never look down on me again!""

"aoaooaoaooaoooooooo——"

The game restarted, and the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were still immersed in the ecstasy of the equalizer, creating wave after wave of cheers.

Manchester United's style of play has not changed, and they still adopt a defensive and counterattack strategy.

With the score equalized, this Manchester City derby means that the balance has returned. Manchester City's desire to score goals is no longer as good as before. The number of people involved in the offense has been greatly reduced, which has resulted in a smaller threat in the frontcourt and Manchester United has gained the opportunity to attack from a positional position. The number of times gradually increased.

Mourinho's pre-match tactical arrangements mainly revolve around quick counterattacks. Although positional attacks are also arranged, they are not as detailed as quick counterattacks.

To put it simply, he is not good at positional offense.

No chance was found in many football passes. Pogba passed the ball to Van Kerry consciously.

In the eyes of Manchester United players, as long as the situation is relatively stalemate, Fan Kerry is the right choice.

The Manchester City defensive players immediately panicked. Zabaleta and Fernandinho defended head-on. Manchester United left back Blind suddenly moved forward along the left sideline. Sane was very defensive and followed Blind to the baseline. Run to prevent Van Kerry from passing the ball to Blind.

Van Kerry alternately stepped on the ball with the soles of his feet. Suddenly, he used the toes of his right foot to pick the ball to Pogba, who advanced to attack the left rib, which was the space behind Zabaleta and Fernandinho.

Yaya Toure immediately stepped in and assisted the turning Fernandinho to defend Pogba.

Pogba received the ball and moved forward in one go. He used the arch of his left foot to pass the ball to the back right without looking back.

Fans sitting in front of the TV saw Van Carey accelerating diagonally from the left to the left rib, running in the exact same direction as Pogba's pass.

"wowoowoowoooooooooooo——"

The subconscious screams of Manchester City fans suddenly rang out above the Etihad Stadium.

Fernandinho turned to defend Pogba, Zabaleta couldn't keep up with Van Carey's running speed, and the two midfielders were out of position, which meant that Van Carey was unmarked with the ball.

Kompany, the right center back who was defending Rashford, made a prompt decision and stepped forward to defend Van Kerry.

Rashford did not wait for the left center back Otamendi to approach. With his back to the goal, he decisively moved forward to the left rear, opening up space for Van Kerry to get the ball.

While running, Fan Kerry uses the outside instep of his right foot to lead the football to the right and front, adjusts his legs in small steps, steps forward with his left foot, naturally raises his left arm to maintain body balance, and swings his right foot from back to front.

Is this a long shot?

Kompany put his hands behind his back and stretched his left foot forward. Considering that Fan Kerry is best at fake shots and real dunks, extending his feet to expand the blocking area leaves room to prevent Fan Kerry from fake shots and real dunks.

Van Kerry's exaggerated right foot did not shoot as Kompany guessed, but he did not spike the ball, but... passed the ball!

I saw Van Carey fake a shot and pass the ball. The football was close to the ground and rolled quickly from the offensive left rib to the left rib of the penalty area.

"——Paul Pogba!!"

As BBC commentator Lineker shouted, Pogba accelerated out of the huge space between Otamendi and Zabaleta, crossed the penalty area line with both feet, and pushed Van Kerry with the outside of his right foot. The football that was sent forward stopped slightly to the right, made a slight adjustment, and shot from the left rib of the penalty area about fifteen meters away from the goal!

Bravo, who had just taken a step, lowered his center of gravity and tiptoed back and forth with his two feet. Spotting the football rolling towards the far end of the goal, he jumped sideways and pounced on the left side of his body like a tiger pouncing on food. His body was very stretched in mid-air.

However, Pogba's shooting angle was very tricky and he rolled close to the ground towards the right goal post. Go along the inside.

Bravo is 1.84 meters tall, has a short wingspan, is 34 years old, has greatly reduced explosive power, and his body movement rate is slow. The fingertips of his stretched left arm are still far away from the football. distance……

"NO!",,, in Bravo’s desperate eyes, the football quickly crossed the goal line and hit the snow-white net against the inner edge of the right goal post.

"Goooooooooooooooooooal——"

The iconic drawl of British Sky TV commentator Andy Gray sounded, bombarding the Manchester United fans in front of the TV.

The strange thing is that Pogba, who scored the goal, did not celebrate wildly. Instead, he sat on the ground and let his teammates who came up to celebrate the goal wildly fell on him.

It wasn't until the Manchester United players' excitement subsided and they stood up that the fans in front of the TV noticed that Pogba was sitting on the ground shaking his head, covering his right calf with his right hand. Van Carey felt faintly uneasy, squatted down and asked:"Paul, what's wrong? Already?"

"I feel like my hamstring is pulled."

Pogba said truthfully

"Can you still persist?"

"Try helping me up."

Fan Kerry helped Pogba stand up reluctantly.

Pogba felt a strong tingling sensation in his hamstring and sat back down. At the same time, he gestured towards the visiting team's coaching bench. The on-site director switched the camera and showed Pogba again. Ba, the fans sitting in front of the TV happened to see Pogba making a gesture asking for substitutions.

"Damn intensive schedule!"

When Mourinho saw Pogba's gesture, he first signaled the team doctor to go up and check to see if he could survive until the end of the first half. Then he turned to Fellaini and said:"Marouane, prepare to come on as a substitute.

Xinying Sports commentator Jin Xiangkai exclaimed:"Is Pogba unable to persist in the game?" He just helped Manchester United exceed the score again!"

"This is a big blow to Manchester United. Leshi sports commentator Zhan Jun frowned and said:"

Ibrahimovic will definitely miss the rest of the season due to a torn left knee ligament. His absence will seriously affect Manchester United's normal positional offense and transition from defense to offense. Pogba, the core of the field, was injured in the Manchester Derby and was unable to continue the game. The following games are likely to be very difficult for Manchester United.……"

The on-site director continuously showed slow-motion replays of Pogba's goals. Fans sitting in front of the TV could clearly see that he seemed to have pulled a muscle in his right leg after completing the shot.

After a simple examination by the team doctor, Pogbala's injured right hamstring was unable to exert force, resulting in his inability to persist in the game, and he had to be replaced by Fellaini.

The Manchester City fans in the audience looked regretful, and encouraged Pogba with applause for his outstanding performance, hoping that he could return to the stadium as soon as possible, but they were happy in their hearts.

Pogba is one of the best midfielders in world football today. His end will definitely seriously affect Manchester United's offensive and defensive transitions, and may even cause Manchester United's offense to fall into chaos...

Guardiola, standing in the home team coach's command area, secretly He breathed a sigh of relief. Manchester United was missing Ibrahimovic and Pogba one after another, which means that as long as Van Carey is restricted in the next game, it is natural to turn defeat into victory!
