Van Kerry's long-range lob fell accurately into the snow-white net. The Etihad Stadium became elegant again, but this time the reaction time was shorter. The Manchester United fans who came with the team to the away game let out a burst of joy. chants

"aooaoaooaoaoaaoooooooooooo——"

Zhan Jun, the commentator from PP Sports, shouted with excitement:"Ouch! Manchester United star Fan Kerry completed a super long-distance lob! It was more than 60 meters by visual inspection! This goal is really amazing!""

"Oh-My-God!"

The iconic exclamation of BBC commentator Lineker inspired the reverse psychology of the Manchester United fans in front of the TV. Then his voice rose an octave and almost madly shouted:"Incredible way of handling the ball! I once thought Kerry would complete his iconic long run! As a result, he used a more ornamental long-distance lob to complete his second goal of the game!"

"Genius performance! Unparalleled shooting style! Fan Carey scored twice! Manchester United leads Manchester City 2:0 at the Etihad Stadium!"

He Wei, the commentator of China Channel 5, was ecstatic.

Fan Kerry, who was sure that the football had entered the net, had a goal celebration this time that was obviously different from the previous one. He turned to face the camera on the sidelines, shrugged and spread his hands, giving someone a picture of me too. helpless feeling

"wuwuuwuwuuwuuuuuuuuuuu——"

Originally, the Manchester City fans just wanted to be patient and let it pass. However, Van Carey took advantage of it and acted like a good boy. He even celebrated the goal in an indifferent way. Isn't this just sitting on their heads and peeing on them?

It’s really the uncle’s unbearable aunt!

Van Carey, who had already scored two goals in this game, was not affected at all. He turned around with a smile and hugged his teammates who came to celebrate the goal.

A two-goal lead as an away team means they have a high probability of advancing to the League Cup final, thereby looking at two consecutive championships in this event.

Mourinho and his assistant Faria embraced passionately to celebrate the two-goal lead.

Guardiola and his assistants in the home team coach's command area all had serious faces. The Manchester City players on the court and the players on the bench had solemn expressions. They obviously felt that the first leg of the League Cup semi-final at home would be even more serious in the coming days. difficulty.

The visiting team Manchester United, which is leading by two goals, will definitely focus on defensive counterattacks in the remaining game time. Van Kerry and Rashford are both very fast, and if they want to score, they must strengthen their offense.

What they can do is very limited. They can only gamble with fate on who will score first.

The on-site director gave a replay of the wonderful moments during the Manchester United players celebrating the goal. Fan Kerry, who was facing the ball, suddenly stopped and knocked the football in the opposite direction with his right heel. Fernandinho happened to pull back. The change in long distance is equivalent to paving the way for Fan Carey's long-range lob.

So the Manchester City fans in front of the TV couldn't help but ask: Captain, are you an undercover agent hired by Manchester United?

Fernandinho was very helpless. He just wanted to keep a safe distance so that he would have more options when Van Kerry took the ball forward. How could he have thought that goalkeeper Ederson was so far away from the goal?

As a result, Ederson became the second scapegoat for Manchester City to concede a goal.

Slow-motion replays from multiple angles also allow fans in front of the TV to experience the ultimate football visual feast, which makes people never tire of it.

The broadcaster immediately also gave the shooting distance of Fan Kerry's long-range lob - 63.5 meters.

Manchester City played more directly in the restarted game. In their view, the first half was approaching the end. If there was no way to narrow the gap, the second half would be very difficult.

Guardiola did not say anything to stop the players, because there is no way out now in the game. If you want to turn the tide, you must remain undefeated at home, and then you can go to the away game to seek victory.

Mourinho's team defended well and did not leave any openings for Manchester City's offense. When the referee Anthony Taylor sounded the whistle at the end of the first half, the scoreboard showed 0:2, which did not change.

"At the end of the first half, Manchester United led Manchester City by two goals with the help of top star Van Kerry's two wonderful goals as a guest, gaining an advantage in the two rounds. However, Manchester United must not be careless. Manchester City is in great shape this season. As long as they find the offense In this state, it is possible to score two or even three goals in a row.

China Channel 5 commentator He Wei said worriedly. When the screen showed the smiling Van Carey, he changed the subject:"Van Carey is in excellent condition. If Manchester City cannot limit his scoring, the possibility of reversing Manchester United at home will be minimized."."

As players from both sides entered the tunnel, the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium continued to decline until it was almost silent. In the home team's locker room, when Arteta closed the door to the locker room, the noise from the stadium stopped abruptly and he sat in the middle of the locker room. Guardiola could hear the ups and downs of the players' breathing.

The first half was very taxing for them, both physically and mentally, especially the psychological level, which made them almost lose confidence in the game.

Guardiola What he has to do is to regain the confidence of the players and pave the way for the reversal of the game against Manchester United.

In fact, the overall strength of the Manchester United players he is in charge of is stronger than Manchester United. The two periods behind at home is not because Manchester United played well, but the key forward control ability..

Van Carey’s first goal was a volley from outside the penalty area. It is a rare goal and cannot be copied. The same is true for the second goal. If Ederson had paid attention to his position, Van Carey would not have scored twice. degree.

In addition, both goals were completed with almost no defensive pressure, which means that as long as enough pressure is put on Van Carey, it will be difficult for him to score again.

Guardiola coughed slightly when he thought of this, and waited. The players saluted with attention, he arched his arms, clapped his hands, and made an inflammatory speech about the players' low morale.

At the same time, Mourinho in the visiting team's locker room fully encouraged his players and praised their performance in the first half. , and at the same time consciously spurred the players, hoping that they could continue their efforts in the second half and strive to kill the game.

The fifteen-minute intermission passed quickly, and the players from both sides returned to the court one after another. Manchester City, which was two goals behind, took the lead in making personnel adjustments. Jesus, who performed poorly at halftime, was replaced by Aguero

"Beep~"

Anthony Taylor blew the whistle, and the second half of the first leg of the 2017-2018 English League Cup semi-final between Manchester City and Manchester United kicked off.

Manchester City, which was lagging behind, had made significant changes compared to the first half. The number of passes from the wing and 45-degree angle began to increase, and they were all Dali's low passes. The

Manchester United central defender has the advantage of high altitude. Aguero, who is 1.7 meters tall, wants to play between Van Dijk, who is 1.93 meters tall, and Van Dijk, who is 1 meter tall. It is almost impossible for the 88-year-old De Ligt to grab the spot on his head. Manchester City's continuous low ball is equivalent to giving Aguero the same opportunity to compete for the ball as Van Dijk and De Ligt.

Manchester United There were counterattack opportunities at the beginning of the second half, but they did not turn into actual threats. In the 53rd minute of the game, Manchester City continued to send strong low passes, and the completion volume changed to qualitative changes. De Bruyne's signature quick low pass The ball passed around Van Dijk at the forward point and accurately found Aguero who was diagonally inserted between Manchester United's two central defenders. The latter succeeded in pushing the shot past the national team teammate Romero guarding the goal.

"aooaoaooaoaooaooaoooooooo——"

The score difference was narrowed in the eighth minute of the second half. The Manchester City fans in the auditorium were ecstatic, creating waves of huge cheers.

Mourinho, who was standing in the visiting team's command area, raised his eyebrows, then looked at Fan Kerry, thinking: To get out of the predicament, we still have to look at Fan Kerry.
