The Manchester City players began to celebrate excitedly.
Less than three to zero at halftime.
You know, their opponent is Manchester United!
This is the king of the Premier League!
Likewise, Manchester United has never suffered such a disastrous defeat in the last three or four seasons.
This season's third place in the league is not only their worst performance in consecutive seasons.
If they fail to win the FA Cup, this will be the first time in many years that Manchester United will be empty of all four majors in the season, without any championship trophy!
This is almost the darkest season for Manchester United!
Ronaldo: As soon as I came, it was dark? Hack me, right?
Although... this will indeed embarrass some players.
Yes, we are talking about Saha.
Saha:…
Forty-one minutes.
Manchester United tried to counterattack a goal late in the first half.
As long as they score a goal, they still have hope.
Three goals in the half and two goals in the half are completely different concepts.
boom!
Giggs sent a cross from the left.
Van Nistelrooy's difficult volley shot the ball over the crossbar.
Kompany put strong defensive pressure on Van Nistelrooy.
Forty-four minutes.
Van Nistelrooy retreated and sent a diagonal pass.
But Cech struck too quickly.
Ronaldo could only grab some points to push, but he could only push it on Cech.
The football bounced back, and Ronaldo immediately made a follow-up shot.
Cech, who was sitting there, rushed to the side almost at the same time and completed the save again.
Two consecutive divine attacks!
Cech yyds!
"Oh! What a pity! What a pity!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score in two consecutive strikes."
"Cech was simply a defensive god today!"
"He seems to have installed countless transparent glass in front of Manchester City's goal. Although he can't see it, he can block all the shots of Manchester United players time and time again."
"He deserves to be the best goalkeeper in the Premier League this year."
"From the worst goalkeeper in the Premier League to the best goalkeeper in the Premier League, Cech only took one season! We are very curious about what caused such a magical change in him."
"The camera showed Schmeichel, who was Petr Cech's goalkeeping coach. The Manchester United legend's last championship trophy before retiring was won by defeating Manchester United on behalf of Manchester City."
"Can his disciples do the same now? Let's wait and see."
The game immediately entered the intermission period.
Both sides have made tactical adjustments, but no personnel adjustments.
After all, it is the last two games at the end of the season, and the strongest players must have already played.
After the start of the second half.
Manchester City's tactical thinking has also become clear.
Focus on passing and controlling.
Delay time.
The reason is naturally because Manchester City still has a UEFA Cup final to play in four days.
They want to avoid attrition and especially injuries.
The last time the two sides met, the irritable Keane kicked David Silva's leg off.
Although Manchester United was eager to steal the ball, Manchester City already had great control.
Their overall possession rate this season ranks among the top five in Europe.
And their overall ball possession rate in the second half of the season ranked first in Europe!
A full thirty minutes.
Manchester United is doing nothing.
People who play during the game are drowsy.
Until the 76th minute.
Manchester City unilaterally declared that the game had entered garbage time.
Guardiola waved Marquesa's big hand, and three people were connected in a row.
Mandzukic, a young player from Croatia, replaced Adriano.
Sun Jihai of China replaced Maicon.
The meritorious veteran Desailly replaced Yaya Toure.
Desailly came on and moved to the centre-back position.
Thiago Silva, who was at the center back position, moved to the midfield position and formed a double midfielder with Mascherano.
Thiago Silva is a versatile player in the backcourt.
Neither he nor Mascherano can be called a top-notch defensive midfielder in the Premier League.
But when the two of them work together, their defensive effect is definitely no worse than any first-class defensive midfielder.
Their golf IQs are very high.
And they can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
At the same time, Fabregas' position moved towards the center and came to the midfielder position.
Torres moved from the left center position to the right wing, playing right winger.
Deng Kai moved from the midfield to the left wing of the team and played as a left winger.
Manchester City have changed their formation.
4213!
It's not that Manchester City doesn't have such a formation.
When they were under strong pressure in the past, Yaya Toure's position would move back, which was 4213.
But the problem is... the soul of this lineup, the only "1", has always been Deng Kai.
But this time, it turned out to be teenager Cesc Fabregas.
The brains of the team!
Can he really?
Could Manchester City be too confident?
In addition, if Deng Kai is on the left wing, can he really be dominant in the midfield position?
You are indeed the number one star in the world.
But it doesn’t mean that you are the best in the world at any position.
Respect science.
If you ask Zidane to play center, Ronaldo to play midfielder, and Figo and Rivaldo to play center back, I'm afraid that's all.
How can you, Deng Kai, be so virtuous?
Huang Jianxiang: "It is very rare for Deng Kai to appear in the winger position."
"We can hardly find any record of his appearances in this position from official information."
"But as an absolute Kai fan, I have exclusive information here."
"Deng Kai once played as a winger during the youth training period of Sporting Lisbon. His performance at that time was no worse than the twin star Cristiano Ronaldo in the team at that time!"
Ronaldo:? ? ?
Eighty-one minutes.
Saha, who had been disastrous for the whole game, finally had a highlight performance.
He played Ashley Young on the wing and completed a cross before Thiago Silva came up.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's header flew over.
Ronaldo turned and volleyed in the penalty area to complete the goal.
However, the linesman raised his flag immediately.
Ronaldo is offside!
Ronaldo looked at Ruud with some helplessness.
In fact, after Ruud van Nistelrooy stopped heading the ball, Ronaldo was able to directly attack the goal.
But Ruud insisted on supporting this.
It's really not necessary.
Eighty-three minutes.
Saha, who seemed to be confident, cut directly inside to challenge Thiago Silva this time.
The sister-in-law stretched out her foot to complete the steal without hesitation, and then passed it to Deng Kai who retreated to receive the ball.
Saha turned and pounced on Deng Kai.
Deng Kai pulled the ball in a V shape and easily shook Saha away. Before Saha could turn around again, he directly took the ball away from Saha and rushed out.
Dazzle you once, return the favor once!
boom!
Deng Kai dialed the ball to accelerate and took off from the wing.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Saha raised the corners of his mouth and pursued fiercely.
Than speed?
now it's right!
Although his speed is not as fast as Ronaldo's, he is still a top-notch speedster in the Premier League.
How could a mere midfielder be better than him...
boom!
Deng Kai touched the ball one after another, and his speed increased.
Saha followed him all the way, but the distance between the two did not close at all.
This directly led to a misjudgment by Gary Neville, the right back of Manchester United.
He thought Saha could put some defensive pressure on Deng Kai and entangle Deng Kai.
Therefore, Gary moved in early to prevent Deng Kai from passing the ball to Cesc Fabregas who was advancing in the ribs.
