I don't just score goals

The Red Devils Manchester United came to the Etihad Stadium to challenge the defending champion Manchester City.

The last time Red Devils fans came to this stadium with a frustrated mood was during the Ferguson era, but that season they finally had the last laugh and returned to the Premier League throne.

But today, as the 8th ranked player in the league, they came to Manchester City's territory, and the game hadn't even started yet. Manchester City fans collectively shouted slogans and ridiculed them, making them grit their teeth but unable to refute.

"Manchester United, you have today too!"

"The era of Manchester United is over. Now be mentally prepared to be beaten for ten years!"

"The Premier League heroes have been suffering from the Red Devils for a long time. Now let's slowly settle the accounts one by one!"

Manchester City fans are very proud, even though they are still beaten by Chelsea in the standings.

But at least facing Manchester United as the defending champion, the mentality is naturally condescending.

After a week's rest, Hao Qiang was full of energy and fighting spirit.

The starting players of both teams made their debut.

Just looking at the cards, it can be considered that there are many big names.

Manchester City started 433.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy.

Midfielder: Milner, David Silva, Fernando.

Forwards: Navas, Hao Qiang, Aguero.

Manchester United started 541.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Valencia, Smalling, Blind, Rojo, Luke Shaw.

Midfielder: Di Maria, Fellaini, Rooney, Januzaj.

Forward: Van Persie.

Pellegrini sat calmly on the coaching bench.

This season, the Chilean engineer has always shown his temperament as a confident championship coach.

Van Gaal from the old Jianghu held a tactical board and a pen, as if he was more like a game recorder.

Always be ready to analyze information as it happens.

With the referee's whistle, the Manchester Derby, which was broadcast live or signaled globally in more than 200 countries and regions, officially kicked off.

Manchester United, playing away from home, quickly launched a fast break.

Rooney organized the offensive, Di Maria and Januzaj broke in from the wing, and Van Persie moved in the middle of the frontcourt.

The two full-backs Valencia and Luke Shaw are ready to burst forward at any time.

Van Gaal's set of 541 can be turned into 343 at any time.

It's just a matter of adjusting the formation according to changes in the situation.

Manchester United wanted to strike first.

The attack reached the frontcourt and found Van Persie, but when the latter was adjusting to find a shooting opportunity, Fernando extended his leg from the side and rear to destroy the ball.

For Van Persie, who is a master of shooting, his shots will be very threatening as long as he is within shooting range.

Some players are not very efficient in scoring goals, but they can score some magic goals.

But highly efficient shooters like Van Persie and Ibrahimovic have basic mastery of shooting skills.

There are a lot of fairy balls, and the ability to seize opportunities is also strong.

Of course, Hao Qiang is also in this echelon.

Containing Van Persie is the first priority of Manchester City's defense.

As for the others, they don't look like much of a threat yet.

Rooney was more responsible for the offensive organization, while Januzaj was completely at a disadvantage when facing Zabaleta today.

Di Maria's adaptation to the Premier League has been slow and his performance has been poor.

Some Manchester United fans have already said they were fooled!

Di Maria bought from Real Madrid is not right!

Manchester United's plan to focus on away games failed.

Defend honestly in the backcourt.

When Manchester City began to control the rhythm of the field and launch attacks continuously, Hao Qiang roamed freely in the frontcourt.

Red Devils defensive midfielder Fellaini is not very strong in following up. After all, tall people and fast horses are not very impressive. Hao Qiang takes the initiative to run back and forth. If he follows up, he can only chase behind Hao Qiang's butt.

In this way, Manchester City's offense can show more changes.

It's just that Manchester United's defense is tight in the penalty area.

After all, we have five defenders.

The effect of attacking from the wing is not good.

Manchester City quickly adjusted their thinking.

Hao Qiang made a pass for Aguero to take a long shot, but Manchester United was unable to block it.

David Silva and Milner followed closely and fired long-range shots.

De Gea made successful saves one after another and performed brilliantly.

However, after the successful save, De Gea felt depressed.

If the game becomes a one-man show of his saves, this will create his highlight moment, but it will also mean that Manchester United is constantly being beaten!

Fight back, fight back!

Manchester United is getting worse and worse.

Manchester City worked step by step, and the quality of the blockade deployed by the regional defense was excellent.

They mainly play wing offense and they are definitely lame today.

Januzaj had a shining point when he was promoted by Moyes, but the shining point failed to continue to shine, so it just brought people a false hope.

Zabaleta bullied a new Belgian player and got it right.

What makes all the Red Devils fans look like they are constipated is that a wide player of Di Maria's level can be restrained by Clichy, which is completely out of line with the eighteenth generation of his ancestors!

Di Maria simply didn't adapt to the Premier League.

Fast pace, high-intensity confrontation, and fouls at every turn.

This is the Manchester derby.

How could Manchester City players be polite to him?

It wasn't until Manchester City that he realized the Premier League was a bit difficult.

The past two months of games have made him hate and despise the Premier League.

It seems like this is not a place where football is played.

There is not much wonderful and extraordinary creativity.

It's more like a group of track and field athletes who changed careers to play football.

Not only does he run fast, he also has strong endurance, and more importantly, he kicks football out of the shadow of rugby.

He didn't want to stay in this miserable place for more than a day.

If Manchester United hadn't given him too much, he would have fled overnight even if he bought a standing ticket.

Manchester United could not pose a threat, and it was impossible for Rooney to drive straight through the center.

What he couldn't do when he was young is even less possible now.

Instead, Van Persie was left alone in the frontcourt without any support.

Manchester City was not in a hurry in the frontcourt and slowly dealt with the opponent. As long as the player had a long shot, he boldly tried to test De Gea.

Manchester United's penalty area is under fire!

Although De Gea made many wonderful saves.

The more you fight, the stronger you become, and the more you fight, the braver you become.

But the defenders can't let Manchester City take long shots unscrupulously!

Must be on guard!

Fortunately, they have five defenders. Even if one defender comes forward to defend, as long as the defense shrinks quickly and the position is selected correctly, there is a high probability that there will be no fatal flaw.

Manchester City has been pressuring Manchester United to cause friction.

It's just that it hasn't caused Manchester United to bleed yet.

Blind and Smalling successively committed fouls in front of the penalty area and received yellow marks.

The movements are relatively large.

It was also influenced by the atmosphere of the Manchester Derby.

Hao Qiang hit the target with two free kicks but was bravely saved by De Gea.

He remained calm, but in his heart he was afraid of De Gea's strength.

European football is full of talents. Although great strikers are not as common as before, the goalkeeper position has ushered in a prosperous era with the replacement of new generations.

Goalkeepers such as Buffon and Casillas have not retired yet.

De Gea, Neuer, Courtois and other young goalkeepers are already chasing each other on the road to becoming goalkeepers.

In the 39th minute of the game, when Aguero cut inside to receive David Silva's pass and prepared for another long shot, Smalling rushed out of the penalty area and tackled him.

Aguero poked the ball away first and quickly dodged, but was still kicked.

The referee's whistle sounded.

He walked over and gave Smalling a second yellow card.

Smalling was sent off with a red card!

Red Devils fans burst into tears!
