From the man behind the football king to the football king

After Mourinho calmed down, he quickly made a decision to let Smalling, another central defender on the bench, come on and replace midfielder Gundogan.

This was a very risky move, and it was obvious that he had decided to put all his efforts into failure or failure.

In the minds of many fans, Mourinho is a proponent of defensive counterattacks. At a certain period, he was even a representative of anti-football in the eyes of others.

However, Mourinho never lacks blood in the game, even crazy. He would often use attacking players in the final stages of the game, performing his famous scene of four or even five forwards.

In this Manchester City derby, Mourinho didn't care about the impact that missing a midfielder would have on the team's rear. If Manchester United couldn't score at this time, it would be no different from death.

Ferguson's impact on Manchester United was extremely profound. Ferguson, who adheres to the philosophy of living and learning, has been learning all his life. His Manchester United does not have a fixed tactical style, but what they are best at is attacking, so no matter what problems they encounter, they will always choose to use offense to solve the problem.

Those protesting Manchester United players have been driven out of the penalty area by the referee. No matter how unconvinced they are, they can only accept this result.

However, this is obviously impossible. At least until the end of the game, no one can know what kind of trick Bruno gave De Gea.

In fact, at this point in the game, many players are close to exhausted. Not to mention that Manchester United's full-court pressing tactics are very physically demanding. In addition, they have one less player than Manchester City, so they have to run more than usual.

Manpower is sometimes poor. Don't always think about doing things beyond your capabilities. There is no need to force it.

At this critical moment, Mourinho had no intention of suppressing this devilish nature. While maintaining the integrity of the team's back line, he has no idea of ​​reducing the team's offensive power.

This commentator is not making a fool of himself.

What's more, the season has just begun, and the league competition is a long process that lasts for thirty-eight rounds and spans ten months. Don't compete with your opponents for a short period of time.

This scene was naturally captured by the broadcast camera. Everyone wanted to know what Bruno said to De Gea, especially what happened next, which made people full of curiosity.

No matter how Manchester City mobilizes them, Bruno always runs tirelessly, seemingly not paying attention to Manchester City's back and forth. He is as fierce and difficult as a bulldog, running endlessly.

But this requires the cooperation of the whole team. With the team's current physical condition, even if they can press down, they may not have the strength to rush forward and fight a quick counterattack.

Now, apart from himself, the only one with better physical fitness in the team is two teammates who have just been replaced. One is the substitute center back Smalling, and the other is the teenager Lingard.

As a result, De Gea firmly guarded the center, and the penalty kick he took was exactly what De Gea wanted.

Otamendi shouted to remind his teammates: "Don't let your guard down! The game is not over yet! We haven't won yet!"

De Bruyne knew he had been deceived when he took the penalty kick but found that De Gea did not dive sideways.

De Gea made all the commentators crazy when he saved De Bruyne's penalty to help Manchester United keep the tie. Everyone wants to know what tips Bruno gave De Gea, so that De Gea, who had only saved one penalty kick in 19 times in the Premier League, showed his power and saved De Bruyne's penalty kick.

Of course, there are not completely no ways to break the deadlock, such as set kicks and so on.

But Manchester City now firmly controls the situation on the field. When Manchester United attacks the frontcourt, the opponent can defend it without fouling. Therefore, even if Manchester United has Rooney, Bruno and Ibrahimovic, the three free kick masters, on the field, there is no What a use.

But even if they got the ball in this way, Manchester City had already returned to defense. Manchester United had to reorganize the attack and advance layer by layer from the back. This was not an ordinary difficulty.

Maguire walked off the field with his head down in frustration. Mourinho took the initiative to hug him, then patted him on the back and motioned for him to go back to the locker room.

When another five minutes passed, the score was still 2:2.

But now he found that it was too early to draw a conclusion, because Manchester United's players were like a group of mad dogs, running around the field without sparing any physical strength, and pressing and surrounding Manchester City's players. Their close pressing was even more ferocious than The game begins.

The Manchester City players on the field controlled the football. They passed the ball back and forth, mobilizing the Manchester United players to run back and forth. When they were about to grab the ball, the opponent passed it away.

Bruno felt that in order to break the deadlock, they had to adopt the approach they had insisted on before - counterattack after pressing and catch Manchester City off guard.

Looking at Manchester City's tight defense, the three lines are compact and neat, and then thinking about the situation on our own team's side, it is really disappointing.

At this time, Mourinho made another substitution adjustment. He replaced Rashford with Lingard. The intensity of this game is too high. Rashford, who is not yet 20 years old, cannot keep up with his physical fitness.

Under his reminder, Manchester City's players gradually responded and regained their ability to control the ball to their best advantage.

Manchester City sent De Bruyne to take the penalty kick.

Prior to this, Manchester City had completed two substitutions. Center Iheanacho and winger Sterling were both replaced. As a result, Manchester City's penalty kick became the midfielder De Bruyne. Players.

Smalling jogged all the way to the sidelines and completed the handover with Gundogan.

………………

After a frontcourt steal, Bruno went straight to Ibrahimovic, who turned around and shot. If Bravo hadn't been focused and reacted quickly, their goal would have been lost.

At this moment, Bruno suddenly ran to the door. After giving De Bruyne a meaningful look, he whispered something into De Gea's ear, and De Gea kept nodding.

Under such a pressing, the relaxed Manchester City players were a little uncomfortable. Their control of the ball failed, but they gave Manchester United several offensive opportunities.

After his retirement, although Mourinho has become the fourth head coach to take over Manchester United, this style still exists. Even after several months of Mourinho's transformation, Manchester United's deep-rooted magic has not faded.

These questions impact everyone, even some Manchester United players. Many people felt that it was dignified enough to compete with Manchester City with ten men. Even if the game ended in a draw, there would be nothing to regret. They tried their best and there was nothing to be ashamed of or regretful about.

De Bruyne took the football from his teammate and carefully placed it on the penalty spot.

During this period, Manchester City clearly had the upper hand in possession. As long as the football fell at their feet, it would be difficult for Manchester United to get the football back. They could only count on them to complete an attack and give up the ball.

In the 80th minute, the score was still 2:2.

………………

Smalling is a central defender. No matter how physical he is, he cannot participate in the full-court press. At the same time, he can quickly move forward to help the attack.

………………

Guardiola originally sat back on the coaching bench after Manchester United was sent off one man, but now he has returned to the sidelines and expressed dissatisfaction with the team's defense.

Under such circumstances, Manchester City continued their football, firmly controlling the ball and suppressing Manchester United on the scene.

It turned out that before taking the penalty kick, De Bruyne noticed that Bruno pointed towards De Gea in a vague direction. That was De Bruyne's favorite direction to take penalty kicks before. He thought that Bruno was following De Gea. Hea reminded him of his penalty characteristics, and then made a temporary decision to change the penalty technique and take a spoon penalty.

Only one person didn't think so.

Mourinho also hugged Gundogan, comforted him, and said that he was replaced not because of his poor performance, but because of the team's tactical needs.

Because De Gea, who has never been good at saving penalty kicks, actually saved De Bruyne's penalty kick!

Facing De Gea, De Bruyne took a good-quality spoon penalty, but it was caught by De Gea who was guarding the center and was easily hugged.

The commentator supporting Manchester City triumphantly declared: "Maybe other teams don't know how to play with one more player, but such a problem will not occur with our Manchester City! What Manchester City is best at is control. Now that there is one more player than the opponent, they will be able to control the ball more easily. They will firmly control the situation and kill the game with goals! "

"It's eighty minutes! There are still ten minutes left in the game...the score is still 2:2. Now one person is Manchester City controlling the football. Manchester United's players can only run exhausted. They are at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. This disadvantage is in front of them. When you play against a team like Manchester City, it will be magnified exponentially.”

Although they failed to exceed the score through penalty kicks, the Manchester City players were not disappointed, because the current situation was really good. It was only a matter of time before they took the lead with one more player. Manchester United was just struggling. Not enough to be afraid of.

If the game is allowed to develop like this, let alone five minutes left, even if Manchester United is given another fifty minutes, they may not be able to score.

Although the season has just begun and the players are still relatively physically fit, the intensity of this game is very high. The players competed for 80 minutes. How many of them can persist to the end? What chance would they have of exceeding the score again?

On the contrary, every attack by Manchester City can suppress Manchester United in an extremely awkward manner. If it weren't for De Gea's outstanding performance in front of the goal, Manchester United would have fallen behind in the score.

………………

………………

………………

The only one who has the stamina to keep up with his own rhythm and can help is Lingard.

What about defense? Still can't give up, no matter how fast the opponent passes the football, they still have to find a way to steal the ball.
