Chapter 780 Prudent Manchester United

Chapter 780 Prudent Manchester United

When the game was about to start, the commentators on the commentary booth were already in place.

Before the start of the game, they entered the working state and began to introduce the starting lineups of the two sides of the game and some opinions to the audience in front of the TV.

"Manchester City has won six consecutive victories in all competitions since the opening of the season, as well as four consecutive victories in the Premier League, and their goals, conceded goals, and various statistics are amazing. But before the start of this game, some views questioned Manchester City's achievements. They believed that their five-game winning streak did not have high gold content because their opponents were not very strong. In the first game, the Community Shield and Manchester United drew 10-[-] in [-] minutes, but they finally won the trophy through a penalty shootout!"

"In fact, in the confrontation between Gao Bo and Guardiola, the draw is already Guardiola's best result." Redknapp on the side added, "In front of Gao Bo, Guardiola's record is really ashamed."

While the two commentators were chatting, players from both sides began to line up to play!

The Manchester derby is already full of gunpowder, coupled with the fierce competition between the two sides for the league title last season, and this season, and even in the future, both teams may be contenders for the league title.

Rival rivals in the same city, coupled with the fierce competition between the two sides in the league, this makes the two teams' smell of gunpowder even more intense!

The DJ at the scene introduced the Manchester City players with a thick and passionate voice!

Behind the name of every Manchester City player, there is always a lot of cheers!

And when it was the turn of the Manchester United players, DJ's voice was much weaker.

Naturally, Manchester City fans also booed sharply behind the names of every Manchester United player!

Such an away environment is naturally far from being friendly to the players of the visiting team!

The Manchester City fans at home are full of confidence to win.

"The players from the two teams are already on the field! Let's take a look at the starting lineup for Manchester City! Goalkeeper Oblak, central defender Umtiti and Kompany, left back Kolarov, right back Trippier, two defensive midfielders are Casemiro and Fernandinho, front midfielder is Griezmann, left is Sanchez, right David Silva, forward Hazard, Manchester City today is still a 4231 formation!"

"For Manchester United, the starting goalkeeper is David De Gea, the central defender is Otamendi partner Hummels, the left defender Alba, the right defender Kyle Walker, the three midfielders are Thiago, Pogba, Modric, the three strikers are Douglas Costa on the right, Pedro on the left, and Rooney in the center! Guardiola still sent a 433 formation! Both sides can be said to be the main players!!"

The huge cheers or other sounds from the fans at the scene warmed up the atmosphere of the entire stadium.

Wait until both sides are on the court and take their respective positions.The sound stopped slightly.

Like the run-up period before the climax, the fans are also waiting for the referee to blow the whistle to start the game.

After a series of pre-match ceremonies, Manchester City won the right to pick a side. They chose the field opposite to their pre-match warm-up, so that when they launched an attack, they could play in the half-court they had adapted to!

And Manchester United got the right to kick-off. They can kick-off first and control the football on their side from the beginning of the game.

So sometimes, winning the pick is not a good thing.

Kick-off rights may be more important.

Everyone held their breath and waited for the start of the game.

The result of this game, to some extent, can have a certain impact on this season's Premier League!

One whistle, the game begins!

The stadium, which was still a little quiet before, suddenly burst into loud shouts.

It's like something exploded!

Game start!

Gao Bo has been sitting on the coach's bench since the game started.

And Guardiola is standing on the sidelines.

But both coaches are in the same mood at the moment.

Both sides attach great importance to this game.

In the previous Community Shield Cup, the two teams may not take this game too seriously, but in the league, for the two direct championship opponents, this game is about six points!

Gao Bo's plan is naturally to win this game and completely kick Manchester United out of the league championship for the time being.

Because once his team wins, it means that they will lead Manchester United by eight points!

Eight points difference, this is already a relatively safe score difference!

If it is the second half of the schedule, the eight-point difference is enough to declare that Manchester United can no longer catch up with Manchester City.

But now the league has just started, and although the eight-point difference is still huge, Manchester United is not at the point of losing hope.

For Guardiola, his lowest goal in the away game, at least not to lose, and on the basis of not losing, is to pursue winning!

Without losing, Manchester United is still five points behind Manchester City.

And once Manchester United wins, they can close the point difference to two points.

This is not a too troublesome gap for Manchester United.

But once the game is lost, the difference of eight points is a relatively big pit.

Even if there is still a whole season, Guardiola is not very sure to fill this hole.

Therefore, under the guidance of such a mentality, Manchester United appeared more cautious in this game.

From the beginning of the game, they slowly controlled the football. Facing Manchester City's frontcourt pressing, Manchester United's pass was as safe as possible.

Pass the ball to the side with fewer Manchester City players, keep possession of the ball, even if you don't attack temporarily, you can't lose the ball.

Two minutes before the game, Manchester United's control was pretty good.

After 2 minutes of possession, Manchester United finally started their first attack.

Modric transferred the ball to Pogba, and Pogba turned around protecting the ball and sent a wide range of transfer ball!

The football accurately found Douglas Costa running on the right!

Douglas Costa is so fast, he pushes the ball forward with his chest, and then he kills it to the baseline!

The football was passed near the baseline.

Rooney in the middle took a shot and the football was sent flying!

This is Manchester United's first shot.

Guardiola clapped his hands slightly on the sidelines.

This attack made him a little more at ease.
