Football Legend No. 13

At halftime, Pellegrini highlighted the defense on the right side.

From the first half, the current right-hand defense is a corridor for Ashley Young.

If they can't hold it, then it will be impossible for City to recover the score in the second half.

But winning or losing doesn't matter much for this season, and as a veteran of many years, he knows very well which guy at Stamford Bridge won't relax easily before the championship arrives.

Or that pinning your hopes on others is a very uncertain factor!

Rather than waiting for his opponent to make a mistake, Pellegrini prefers to hold the initiative in his hands.

Looking at the overall trend of this game, Manchester City has exposed a lot of problems, the control of the midfield is not enough, the defensive loopholes on the sideline are full of holes, and it is really a nightmare for the strong team.

Fortunately, the season is almost over, and there is still a summer window to make up for it.

The team needs to be strengthened in all directions, giving priority to the defensive line, followed by the midfield and finally the striker.

If you want to fight on multiple fronts, then you need to have a deep bench, otherwise it is easy to collapse on multiple lines!

Such examples are not uncommon, just like Arsenal before them, many times when they lead the way to the most critical moment, they collapse across the board.

The midfielder who needs to be strengthened in the summer window is something that Pellegrini did not expect, but he also has a crisis in his heart because it is not his style.

I'm afraid Manchester is going to change!

......

The second half began with Manchester United taking the lead.

Rooney's pressure forced City's centre-backs to focus on Rooney, while the activity of Mata and Ashley Young on the touchline also made City's touchline suffer.

Coupled with Fellaini in midfield and Herrera, who dragged a little behind, City's defence was forced to shrink.

In the 63rd minute of the match, Mata returned a pass to Herrera.

Herrera, who possessed the ball, paused slightly, and he kicked straight through, and the ball went straight through the middle of the double back, and Rooney in front received the pass.

For such a situation, Demichelis stepped forward to make up for the defense but was kicked by Rooney, and then Lu Xiaofat hit the door directly!

But this football did not penetrate Joe Hart's ten fingers.

The football was blocked.

Kompany went straight out with big feet.

Although it was solved, the goal could not be obtained by Manchester City.

That's one of the reasons why Manchester United are making a comeback.

Manchester United's Michael Carrick watched the game and made a long pass to Valencia on the right.

As an old teammate, he naturally knows Antonio's strength.

After Valencia unloaded the ball, he took it directly to the penalty area, and Zheng Lin, as a defender, quickly followed.

Against Zheng Lin's defense, he is well aware of this little guy's ability, and although his shooting skills are not superb enough, he has other ways to help the team achieve the final victory.

Mata, who runs with Valencia, is now positioned between Demichelis and Chrissy, which is again a nail stuck behind the defender, while Moussa Sissoko needs to keep an eye on Herrera and Fellaini, who also stepped forward.

In particular, Fellaini, this is not something that can be defended by one person, and his big man is an invincible weapon in the card slot.

After dribbling the ball a few meters laterally, Valencia sent it straight out.

The situation that followed was a little frustrating.

Mata's fake shot from receiving the ball was sent to Wayne Rooney in the middle.

Lu Xiaofat was very direct this time, and he kicked on the football, and the ball shot to the goal like an off-string arrow.

At this time, Joe Hart seemed to be open, and once again stopped this shot.

Demichaelis, who reacted, kicked the ball straight out of the line.

It was a corner kick and another good enough to threaten the goal for Manchester United!

The corner kick on the right is played by Valencia.

At this time, Manchester City's penalty area was already overcrowded, especially several strong header players from Manchester United had gathered here, which put pressure on Manchester City's defense.

"The corner kick is open, and the few people in the box have already used their own magical powers."

“GOALLL！！！"

'Smalling's header gives United a two-goal lead and there is not much time left for Manchester City!"

Yes, there is not much time left for Manchester City, especially when Smalling scored for Manchester United, there are less than 30 minutes left, and when Manchester United are defending at full strength, it is quite difficult for Manchester City to equalise.

And the fans of the Theatre of Dreams also began their taunts, for them, as long as it is not the sworn rivals of the same city and Liverpool to win the title, then what is unacceptable?

By the way, there is also a Leeds United, but of these three teams, the least likely to win the championship is Leeds United!

The boos of the Theater of Dreams made Zheng Lin a little stunned, and he quickly returned to his senses and hung his head, for him, victory is an addictive taste, and he has become addicted to this feeling of winning the face title from his first season with Manchester City.

And the situation in the second season made him realize one thing - that is, why those clubs can be called giants, it is because where their heritage is, they have a rich heritage, which is why they are proud.

At present, there are only a few top giants in the entire European football scene, which is why some players try their best to get into the giants.

It's not just about money, it's more about athletics.

The giants of the Premier League - Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, these four clubs are even skinny camels, it is not much larger than the average distance!

In particular, their golden signboard has attracted countless players to yearn for here.

Losing to Barca, that is a matter of their own strength, although the fight to the end, but it is not enough to erase the gap between them, let alone in the league, once the run-in is good, Chelsea's strength is still able to stand out.

......

The game resumes.

Manchester City lead the attack.

On the field, still wearing this shirt, Zheng Lin must work hard enough to bring victory to the club.

This is a matter of professional ethics, and Zheng Lin does not allow himself to accept the taste of failure without trying.

With his run, Mata gave up defense, and he chose to interfere with the passing line given to Zheng Lin, because simply confronting Zheng Linbi physically was a silly behavior.

There is still time, Manchester City does not intend to throw in the towel, and Manchester United, who have two goals in hand, are starting to wait for work, they want to fight back and score another goal, so that this city rival can know whose world Manchester is here!

For Mata's defensive choice, David Silva instantly understood, but the target he was looking for was not simply Zheng Lin, and Berardi's inner cut on the right side should not be underestimated.

When Zheng Lin's side went straight behind Smalling, Berardi also appeared where he should be.

David Silva's straight ball opened the way for him.

After Berardi received the ball, he didn't make any adjustments and went straight into the far corner.

De Gea, who had not yet grown into a "duck dad" at this point, did not have enough to save the ball.

......

"Drip!"

'The final score was fixed at 5-4 and Manchester City lost by one goal to Manchester United, which was a happy day for Manchester United, who wiped out the hopes of their arch-rivals to reach the top and also saved them the initiative in the top four.

'Manchester City's chances of winning the title are already very slim, but there is no problem with their Champions League qualification!

For Manchester United fans, apart from winning the title, there is nothing more joyful than seeing their rivals lose, especially to their own team!
