"Beep~"

The referee Anthony Taylor blew his whistle, signaling the start of the first leg of the first semi-final of the League Cup in the 2017-2018 English League Cup.

Manchester United, who had the advantage of kick-off, played very patiently and passed the ball back. Organize the offense step by step from the backcourt

"wuwuuwuwuuwuuuuuuuuu——"

As soon as the football arrived at Van Kerry's feet, the Manchester City spectators in the auditorium booed hysterically, sending it to the Manchester United star who had caused great pain to Manchester City a month ago.

Van Kerry, who handed the ball back to Van de Beek, turned to look at the Manchester City fans outside the sideline. He saw a dense crowd of Manchester City fans waving their fists ferociously, cursing and frothing at the mouth, as if they were seeing the enemy who killed his father.

"What are you looking at? Never seen your dad’s big cigar?"

"Get lost! Damn bastard!"

"This is Ittihad! Be honest with us!"

"I want to fuck you right now!"

……

Fan Kerry's eyes turned cold, and instead of being angry, he showed a playful smile:"You are dead!"

Manchester United's first wave of offensive organization was very patient, and involved the Manchester City defense through continuous passes. It was just like the Manchester City derby a month ago. He changed his jersey and pressed Manchester City in his own half.

Guardiola knows where this situation comes from. Pogba cannot directly determine the outcome of the Manchester City derby, but his creativity can connect Manchester United's overall offense, enrich Manchester United's offensive system, and at the same time release Matic and Van derby. Baker's offensive prowess.

In the league match a month ago, the main reason why Manchester United was passive was that the positional attack could not bring a direct threat to Manchester City, so that Van Kerry had to retreat to a deep position to assist Matic in organizing the attack, which caused Van Kerry to be far away from the goal. Too far and the threat level plummets.

With Pogba taking charge of the overall situation in the midfield in this game, Van Carey can look for opportunities in the frontcourt with peace of mind.

After multiple passes, the football moved from the right to the left. Van Kerry received Pogba's penetrating diagonal pass. Fernandinho hadn't moved over yet. He faced the ball forward and faced Kyle directly. ·Walker and Sterling came in a hurry.

Kyle Walker is strong in offense and weak in defense. Sterling is no different from showing off. Van Kerry did not use any fancy moves. His right shoulder sank, which deceived Kyle Walker and Sterling's bodies to have a center of gravity. Move, press the arch of your right foot, and quickly pass the football to the space behind Kyle Walker while sticking to the ground.

The broadcast screen showed a mid-to-long distance, and you could just see Luke Shaw running forward at high speed along the left sideline, chasing Van Carey's direct pass.

"woowowoowowoooooooooooo——"

Van Carey's pass was consistent with Luke Shaw's run, and the Manchester City fans in the audience subconsciously let out a burst of exclamation.

Kyle Walker is explosive and fast, but it does not mean that he can ignore the time required to turn and start. The right center back Stones had to pull out to cover up to prevent Luke Shaw from catching the ball and approaching the penalty area.

In a flash of lightning, Manchester City's defensive system exposed obvious gaps.

Guardiola, who was standing in the home team's coach's command area, felt his heart skip a beat. He saw Stones covering up the defense. Lukaku alertly bypassed Otamendi and inserted diagonally into the space behind Stones. Zinchenko moved in. Arriving in front of the goal and acting as a temporary central defender, Rashford entered the penalty area from the far end. Fernandinho has not yet returned to his position, which means that Rashford is temporarily unmarked.

In addition, the second wave of attack groups formed by Pogba, Van Kerry and Van Der Beek have been put in place. As long as Luke Shaw's pass is not too outrageous, Manchester United's attack will have a high probability of being converted into a goal.

Thinking of this, Guardiola blurted out:"Watch the man!"

The atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium was fanatical, and the fans' exclamations resounded throughout the stadium. Guardiola's voice could not reach the players' ears at all.

Despite this, the players also know what to do at this time.

But whether it can meet expectations is a big question mark.

Van Carey's pass was spot-on and very comfortable. Luke Shaw, who was advancing at high speed, spotted the position of his advancing teammate and passed directly with his left foot.

Stones, who had just arrived at the sideline of the penalty area, turned and looked into the penalty area as the football flew. He saw Rashford facing the cross ball sent by Luke Shaw, supporting his right foot, straightening the instep of his left foot and arching his foot. end-to-end football

"——Marcus Rashford!!"

As BBC commentator Lineker shouted, Rashford extended his left foot while running to shoot. The football changed its direction and flew quickly to the near corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Ederson reacted quickly and turned sideways to stretch his arms. , captured the moment the football was about to cross the horizontal line of the goal line.

Otamendi was so embarrassed that he almost lost his body center of gravity and kicked the football that bounced back to the small penalty area line out of the bottom line to resolve the crisis in front of the goal.

PP Sports Commentary Member Zhanjun shouted:"Ederson saved Manchester City! He blocked Rashford's close range shot! The score is still 0:0!! Commentator

Zhang Lu laughed and said:"It is simply a replica of the Manchester derby between the two teams a month ago, except that the outstanding player changed from De Gea to Brazil's second national goalkeeper Ederson!""

Rashford, who missed the follow-up goal, was very upset. He looked up to the sky and screamed to vent his unhappiness.

If the shooting angle was wider, Ederson would have no chance to save the shot.

Manchester City coach Guardiola has lingering fears. He patted his chest. If Edson hadn't reacted so quickly, his team would have conceded a goal first.

Then, he stood on the sidelines and made inflammatory body movements to remind the players to focus on the game.

Manchester United Head coach Mourinho stood on the sidelines and praised the players with applause for contributing a wave of offensive enough to score goals.

Although Pogba is difficult to educate, as long as he focuses on the court, he can play a very good role. The role of Van Carey, at least... Van Carey can concentrate directly on the attack. The ability of

Luke Shaw and Lukaku to connect is entirely the positive effect brought about by Van Carey's use of his personal court charm and decisive distribution of the ball.

Rashford ran towards Attacking the corner kick area on the left, the Manchester City defensive players in the penalty area felt varying degrees of tension. They were deeply impressed by Van Carey's violent header!

Stones, Jesus and Gundogan directly made dumplings of Van Carey, allowing He can't move

"Manchester City was once bitten by a snake and had been afraid of ropes for ten years. They directly surrounded Van Kerry with three defensive players. I really want to ask, are they not afraid that Rashford will find other Manchester United players?"

The on-site director just caught Fan Carey's expression of dumbfounding. PP Sports commentator Zhan Jun laughed and said:"Lukaku, Matic, Pogba and Van Dijk are all high-altitude bombers with a height of over 1.9 meters, and they can score with headers. The ability is quite outstanding."

As soon as he finished speaking, Rashford took a corner kick. The ball was urgent and fast, with an obvious inner instep arc, and flew towards the center of the penalty area.

Van Carey, who had been dumped, had no intention of fighting for the top. He was now completely It was to make a wedding dress for his teammates and attract the attention of Manchester City's defense.

Van Dijk, who ran from the back point to the penalty spot, beat Otamendi to complete the goal with a flick of his head. Unfortunately, the crosshair was not adjusted properly, otherwise it is very likely to directly threaten Etienne. Dessen guards the goal

"woowowowoowoooooooo——"

Although the ball was not hit by Van Kerry, and he did not even take off, the many Manchester United high-pointers in the penalty area made the Manchester City fans in the audience feel fearful and subconsciously screamed.

If Van Dijk's aim had been better, the home team they supported should have conceded the ball first...

Guardiola also exhaled a long breath. Manchester United's set-piece attack was not limited to Van Kerry!

So he took advantage of the time gap when Ederson was about to take the goal kick, and called Fernandinho to the sidelines for face-to-face instructions.
