I am the king of football

Chapter 405 Fierce Battle
When the opponent committed a series of fierce fouls that would not stop until their attack was blocked, the Manchester United players realized the plan of their arch-rivals in this game.

For Manchester City, this game is a game that they must not lose. If they lose, they will have no pursuit this season, so they do not mind paying the highest price to drag Manchester United into the water.

At this moment, the Manchester City wolves who were standing directly opposite Manchester United had already made a desperate move and were determined to commit fouls in an effort to inflict severe damage to Manchester United's main players.

Ferguson on the sidelines had already frowned tightly. He was quite annoyed looking at the situation on the field, especially when he saw Pellegrini standing aside still with a calm look, which seemed to have nothing to do with the scene on the field, which was even more annoying.

"Take it back!"

Finally, after thinking for a moment, Ferguson made a decision. Manchester City's playing style in this game, which was based on a 4132 formation, was obviously problematic. Looking at these crazy guys, Ferguson did not want to take the risk of his core players getting injured.

Next week's Champions League knockout round is what Manchester United must win this season. Although they were aiming for victory in this game, the opponent's madness made Ferguson decide to retreat first.

As a result, the situation on the field underwent a qualitative change more than ten minutes after the start of the game. Manchester United, who were deployed in a 4231 formation, really parked the bus after being blocked by the opponent's foul tactics.

Moreover, after the opponents' anger had been aroused by their constant unreasonable fouls, the Manchester United players were not polite in their defensive actions after retreating.

When Manchester City found that their opponents had stopped attacking, they quickly pressed forward with murderous intent. The two forwards of the Blue Moon in this game were Aguero and Dzeko, and behind them were Balotelli, Silva and Nasri.

This top-level offensive configuration was involved in the team's defense at the beginning of the game, and now it looks aggressive after pressing out.

However, the Red Devils players were not polite at all to these arrogant rivals. First, Aguero received a pass from Silva in the heart of Manchester United's midfield, but was knocked to the ground by the experienced Scholes.

Their subsequent attack through an indirect free kick was cleared by Phil Jones when the ball fell into the Manchester United penalty area. Before Balotelli could receive the ball on the left, Evra rushed up and tackled him to the ground with the ball.

This time, Evra didn't even commit a foul. Instead, when he got up from the ground and made a "you're dead" gesture towards Balotelli, the impulsive Italian golden boy rushed up to him and was about to punch him.

If Dzeko hadn't seen something was wrong and ran over to stop Balotelli, the young player might have been the first person to receive a card on the field.

In the next ten minutes or so, the entire Manchester City team fully realized the difficulty of breaking into Manchester United's threatening area, and they were embarrassed by their opponents' equally brutal foul tactics.

Even because they had an offensive line that was weaker than Manchester United's offensive combination, Aguero, Balotelli and others suffered obviously more crimes than Qin Hu and Van Persie.

After the game entered the 30th minute, the Blue Moon team finally faced the reality that it was impossible for them to win the game while Manchester United was retreating. This fierce battle had to be decided before a winner could be produced.

So, Pellegrini on the sidelines also made a gesture, and Manchester City's formation also retreated.

Afterwards, the two sides began to engage in a fierce battle in the midfield and near the center circle of the two teams, with the strikers of the two teams becoming the foil. "Manchester United, who deployed more players in the midfield, had a slight advantage in the constant close combat, and the fight between the two sides had reached a tragic level."

From the 30th minute on, the two sides really staged a full-scale fight. In the last second, Silva intercepted the ball from Nani's feet after pressing, and the next moment Scholes snatched the ball away and knocked him away.

The previous moment, Carrick was seen with the ball moving forward all the way to the opponent's midfield. The next moment, Yaya Toure's fierce tackle forced Carrick to give up the ball and choose to protect himself.

When the game reached the 43rd minute, Balotelli tried to break through on the wing again but was tackled by Evra. The simple-minded striker finally couldn't stand it anymore. He rushed over and pushed away Evra, who was standing there with an innocent look on his face.

Evra was the same as others. If you dare to push me, I will fall down. He just lay on the ground and rolled around in pain.

So the first yellow card of the game was born. Balotelli was shown a yellow card by the referee with a look of grievance and was also scolded. What made him most uncomfortable was that although he was tackled by Evra again this time, the opponent still did not commit a foul.

"FUCK!"

After the referee left, Balotelli kicked the ball away. His mentality was a little broken.

When the game resumed, Balotelli's pressing became emotional. In the 45th minute of the game, he kicked Scholes, who had just received the ball and deliberately left a flaw in front of him.

"what!"

After being kicked directly in the calf by the opponent, Scholes fell to the ground holding his leg and began to roll around, which made Zhan Jun, who was commentating the game, very amused.

"Hahaha, Manchester City is still too young. Although they chose a style of play that was very good at suppressing Manchester United's momentum, Manchester United, which has a rich heritage, has many veterans who have seen many ups and downs. In terms of how to better utilize the rules on the court, they are really no match for the Red Devils."

Fortunately, the referee also noticed that Scholes' expression was a bit of a show and did not show Balotelli a second yellow card. Instead, after whistleblowing the foul, he called Balotelli aside and solemnly reminded him for the second time.

"Pay attention to your emotions, boy, this is the court, not your home. If you continue like this, you will pay a heavy price."

However, in the face of such a solemn warning from the referee, Balotelli's expression was still disconnected, which made the referee shake his head. Everyone knew about the fun this player had caused after coming to the UK, and the referee on duty was also aware of it.

It's hard to expect someone who is setting off fireworks in his bathroom to listen to you.
Pellegrini on the sidelines was also panicked when he saw this scene. He looked at his watch. Fortunately, there was not much time left in the first half of the game. This made him breathe a sigh of relief and secretly made up his mind that this young man could not be kept in the second half of the game.
