I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

In the 43rd minute of the first half, Ibrahimovic retreated to catch the ball and made a direct pass behind him. Rooney quickly got rid of Kolarov and then inserted. After Wo, when he was about to hit the goal with his kick, Manchester City defender Otamendi quickly blocked it with his body.

At this time, his hand had an obvious opening movement, which caused Rooney to hit his hand with a shot and pop out of the baseline.

Rooney quickly complained to the referee that it was a deliberate handball, and Otamendi's hand was clearly open.

"If he hadn't opened his hand, my shot would have gone in!" Rooney said with certainty.

But the on-duty referee rejected Rooney's appeal, thinking that his penalty was not wrong, which made Rooney feel very depressed, turned around and walked back.

When Otamendi passed by him, he patted Rooney on the shoulder lightly. Obviously, the Manchester City centre-back himself feels very guilty. Whether it was intentional or not, his arms were indeed opened just now.

………………

"It was an undeniable handball!"

During halftime, in the home team locker room, Ye Su replayed the slow-motion replay to all the players.

Handball, that's absolutely no problem. Although it is impossible to tell whether it was intentional or unintentional, it was indeed a handball.

"But there is no way, we need to forget this misjudgment and concentrate on the second half of the game."

After fighting for forty-five minutes, the players were obviously very tired, and the strength of the opponent Manchester City was not weak at all.

Guardiola spent more than 300 million euros in signings in the summer, and the players he bought are all very strong. That is to say, some players have not yet fully integrated into the Manchester City team, which has caused Manchester City to not reach their best condition.

"As I said to everyone before the game, Manchester City's defensive problems are mainly concentrated in the position of the midfielder."

Ye Su drew a large strip-shaped area at the front of Manchester City's penalty area on the tactical board. Goalkeeper Bravo, Sagna, Otamendi, Stones and Kolarov in defense, David Silva, Fernandinho and Pogba in midfield, front trident It's Sterling, Iheanacho and Nolito.

In this game, Manchester City's ace striker, the Argentine Aguero, was suspended, which had some impact on Manchester City's offense.

"honestly,

I am not satisfied with the performance in the first half. Our start was not smooth. We should have taken the initiative, but we were preempted by Manchester City. Then we failed to complete the pre-match deployment well. "

Ye Su pushed the pawns on the tactical board representing Manchester United players.

"As we said before the game, Manchester City's midfielders are pulled from the wings and ribs. They often only have one Fernandinho in this area. As long as we pull him away, our players at the back will have a chance. .”

What Ye Su said is not only the two ribs of Rooney and Vardy, but also the team's center.

Both De Bruyne and Mata are good at getting in from behind, and they are also good at long-range shots.

Ye Su knows the passing ability of David Silva, the core of Manchester City's offensive playmaker, but for his defense, he believes that whether it is De Bruyne or Mata, they have the ability to play from him.

The only trouble is Fernandinho, the Brazilian iron waist. He is like a god, standing at the front of Manchester City's penalty area. It is difficult to break through him.

But there is no way for one person to cover everything. In the absence of Yaya Toure, it is difficult for Fernandinho to stabilize the midfield alone. This is why Manchester City has conceded goals in every game since this season. key factor.

………………

"Let me do it!" Rooney took the initiative to stand up and said.

Everyone immediately looked at him in unison, with admiration in their eyes.

Facing an opponent like Manchester City, being able to stand up at this time shows Rooney's courage and responsibility.

With such a captain, who is not convinced?

"I'm in charge of dribbling the ball and attracting defensive attention, and the others are in charge of running gaps," Rooney said.

In many cases, the core players of the team are not just as simple as scoring goals, but also take on more. Especially the core players are often the opponents' key targets.

Looking at the current Manchester United team, it can be said that there are only players with Rooney's comprehensive ability.

Mata's dribbling is good, but his body is too thin, and he lacks confrontation. Vardy's speed and explosive power on the left are indeed good, but his dribbling ability is not so good.

Ibrahimovic's various abilities are relatively strong, but he is the bridgehead of Manchester United in this game. The team needs him to stand in the penalty area of ​​Manchester City and put pressure on Manchester City's defense.

As for De Bruyne, his position is late, and he is not as easy to attract defensive attention as Rooney.

On the bench, there are many players who can dribble the ball, but there are really no players who are sure to dribble the ball, attract the attention of the defense, and then pass the ball out. Even Bruno Fernandez, a genius who is favored by everyone , there is currently no way to do this.

Rooney was able to do it.

"Then I will pull in front." Ibrahimovic also took the initiative to undertake the task.

"Otamendi's condition in this game is not very good, pay attention to him." Rooney reminded the Swedish center.

Just now when he was offside, he had noticed Otamendi's state.

Last summer, after the Argentine central defender transferred from Valencia to Manchester City at a sky-high price of 45 million euros, Otamendi was once known as the world's top central defender, but his performance in Manchester City last season was very mediocre.

In fact, Manchester City's defense was not very solid last season. They conceded 43 goals in 38 league rounds throughout the season, far more than the top four teams.

It can be said that Manchester City missed the Champions League last season, and the instability of the defense is the biggest reason.

After confirming the information with his teammates, Rooney turned his head to look at De Bruyne and Mata, and said: "You pay attention to the gap, I will pass the ball to you."

………………

"United still pass the ball to the right. Give it to Wayne Rooney!"

"Rooney started quickly, smashed the ball, changed direction, and cut inside!"

"pretty!"

...

Beep!

With the whistle of the referee, Kolarov got up from the grass out of breath.

Rooney was still lying beside him, unhurt, but looking excited.

Damn little fat man!

Kolarov cursed secretly in his heart, and slowly backed away.

At the last moment of the first half, Rooney suddenly turned offside and slanted into the penalty area, even past the goalkeeper Bravo. If Otamendi hadn't blocked his shot with his body and a suspected handball defense at the last moment, Manchester United would have scored.

This serious mistake caused Kolarov and Otamendi to be severely criticized by Guardiola during the intermission. Guadu obviously could not accept such a mistake in the team's defense.

Kolarov was also suffocating in his heart.

After changing sides in the second half, less than two minutes after the start, Rooney saw Rooney get a one-on-one chance and suddenly cut in. Impatient, he immediately made a decisive foul.

The referee quickly ran over, raised a yellow card towards Kolarov, and gave him a warning.

………………

The Manchester City left-back slowly backed away, but his eyes couldn't help looking at Rooney who was pulled up from the ground by Kyle Walker, feeling very emotional in his heart.

When Kolarov just transferred to Manchester City, that is, in 2010, Rooney was at his peak. And in the second round of the Manchester Derby that season, Kolarov witnessed Rooney's shocking barb at Old Trafford.

Since then, Rooney's condition has deteriorated day by day. Kolarov believes that Rooney, who is similar to his own age, has entered a period of decline.

But I didn't expect that after the oriental came to Old Trafford, the little fat man in front of him seemed to have a second spring, his state fully recovered, and he became a man standing side by side with Messi and Ronaldo. He is even expected to compete this year Golden Globes.

In tonight's game, this little fat man also performed quite bravely, and his state is obviously very good. He kept running and looking for opportunities throughout the game, which made Kolarov, who was defending him, feel extremely strenuous.

That feeling is not at all like defending a veteran who is about to turn 31, but more like defending a top European winger.

Even Manchester United's talented Rashford and Martial, who were favored by countless people, or Vardy, who was in his prime, failed to bring such tremendous pressure to Kolarov.

Although he was also a child with Rooney, only less than a month younger, but as far as football players are concerned, defenders generally have a longer professional life than strikers. You can often see old defenders in their thirties playing on the court, but how many old forwards in their thirties can be seen flying on the pitch?

………………

Guardiola kept calling on the players to line up on the sidelines.

What Manchester United got was a chance to set the ball on the right side of the front field, which is quite a threat.

Kolarov obviously lost his position just now and was forced to foul.

Guardiola really can't complain about his left back. He believes that in this defense, the left back really tried his best.

It can only be said that Rooney's sudden start with the ball just now, and the subsequent change of direction of the spike, was really too fast!

"This kid is getting more and more demonic as he gets older!" Guardiola shook his head and sighed.

For Rooney, Guardiola is naturally very clear, because his Cosmos team rose on the bones of Manchester United and stood on top of the world.

In the past few years, with the decline of Manchester United, Rooney's performance has been worse day by day. Guardiola thought that this young man has disappeared from everyone, but he did not expect that in the past two years, he seems to have suddenly become enlightened. , quickly made up for his shortcomings and shortcomings, and at the same time continuously improved his advantages, whether it was a dribbling attack or the change of direction just now, it left a very deep impression on people.
