I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Latest URL: After Ye Su returned to the locker room, he fully affirmed the team's performance in the first half, but he felt that the team's ability to seize opportunities was still lacking and needed to be strengthened. In addition, Ye Su also asked the players to continue to play in the first half in the second half and have enough patience. The players responded one after another, obviously agreeing with the head coach's analysis and judgment.

After thinking about it deeply, Rooney finally understood why Ye Su was so indifferent, even a little unreasonable, but Manchester United players still respected him so much. The reason was simple, his tactics were really excellent. So good that everyone believed that as long as he obeyed his arrangements and obeyed his instructions, the team would definitely win!

The game resumed quickly in the second half, with neither side making adjustments. The performance of both sides in the first half was considered normal, there were no obvious mistakes, and naturally there was no need to make adjustments.

At the fifty-first minute of the second half, the situation on the field suddenly changed. During a scramble, De Bruyne fell to the ground for a tackle. Manchester City's midfielder Pogba was a step late, but he did not stop. Instead, he stepped on the inside of De Bruyne's knee joint. On the spot, he hugged his knee in pain.

All of this happened under the nose of the referee, who of course unceremoniously showed Pogba a red card and sent the French midfielder off the field.

All the commentators condemned Pogba's malicious foul, because at the time he could stop his feet, but he didn't, and even stepped on De Bruyne intentionally. Therefore, everyone thinks that Pogba's red card is not wronged.

Ye Su also expressed appreciation for the referee's penalty, but Guardiola on the sidelines was extremely angry. He was very dissatisfied with the referee's penalty this time, thinking that Pogba was just an unintentional mistake and should not be shown directly. red card. He even found the fourth official on the sidelines and protested fiercely.

But in the end the referee ignored the protests from the sidelines, and Pogba was sent off the field depressed.

Seeing that everything was irreversible, Guardiola immediately called Fernandinho to the sidelines to teach him the opportunity.

In the next more than half an hour, Manchester City had to face the situation of ten players in the away game. Guardiola must adjust Manchester City's tactics.

………………

After the game restarted, Manchester City's formation was recycled. The two wingers, Sterling and Sane, both retreated a lot, and Manchester City changed to 441.

With the change of Manchester City's formation, Rooney found that the defensive pressure he faced was also much easier.

With repeated impacts from Bruno Fernandes and Harry Kane,

Coupled with the fact that De Bruyne also has a strong ability to insert behind, Fernandinho and David Silva have to shrink more towards the middle.

At the same time, Rooney also noticed that Guardiola's assistant coach Arteta has begun to let Aguero and Bernardo Silva on the bench go out to warm up, obviously to make substitutions.

Pogba's end completely changed the trend of the game, and it also made Rooney feel ecstatic. He saw the hope of the team winning at home.

At the beginning of the season, Ye Su said that Manchester United will be very difficult in the Premier League this season, especially facing the serious challenge of Manchester City. At the beginning, Rooney was a little disapproving, because in the past three seasons, Manchester City have not been able to pose too much threat to Manchester United.

Last season, when Pep Guardiola took charge of the Ittihad, Rooney thought that Manchester City would change. Who knows that Manchester City did not even make the top four in the league, and only won fifth in the Premier League. Entering the Champions League depends on winning the Europa League.

However, when the new season started, when Manchester City was invincible in the Premier League, biting Manchester United all the way to the top of the standings. Until the middle of the season, the two teams were still neck and neck. Rooney has completely believed in the judgment of the team's head coach. It is difficult for Manchester United to win the Premier League early this season like they did in the previous two seasons. It is likely that they will have to entangle with Manchester City until the end of the season before the two teams can determine who will win the Premier League.

Under such circumstances, Rooney is most eager to score goals. He hopes to help the team beat Manchester City, which will become a milestone game for Manchester United this season.

………………

"United launched an attack down the right and Wayne Rooney crossed in from the right. Harry Kane took a low shot inside the box and it just went wide."

"Manchester United's offense still takes two sides, especially after Pogba was sent off with a red card, they obviously played more actively, while Manchester City played a tenacious defense."

Manchester City made a substitution in the 59th minute. Argentine striker Aguero replaced Sterling, which also proved Guardiola's courage.

After personnel adjustments, Manchester City's formation changed to 432, with Aguero and Jesus partnering up front. Guardiola didn't want to hand over the dominance on the field, he also wanted to deal with Ye Su's Manchester United.

After the Manchester City substitution, Ye Su also quickly made substitution adjustments, and Mata replaced De Bruyne.

After being stepped on hard, although De Bruyne said that he could still persist in the game, but just to be on the safe side, Ye Su decided to withdraw him. De Bruyne is the offensive engine of Manchester United's midfield, and Ye Su does not want any surprises on him.

Mata also brought up Ye Su's latest instructions, that is, Vardy suppressed Manchester City's right on the left, and Rooney on the right attacked with all his strength!

Compared with Kyle Walker and Kompany's partners on the right side of Manchester City's defense, Delph and Otamendi on the left are obviously worse. Coupled with Rooney's strong personal ability, Ye Su hopes to open up the situation on his side.

………………

Otamendi is a typical Argentine central defender. Although he is only 1.83 meters tall, he has good physical resistance and has excellent physical fitness among central defenders. In recent years, Otamendi's header ability has greatly increased, and he once became a famous air fighter and a famous defender with a knife in the Premier League.

In the past three seasons, Otamendi has been the main central defender of Manchester City. With Kompany getting old and suffering from injuries, Otamendi has become the anchor of Manchester City's defense.

In fact, Otamendi has indeed played quite well in Manchester City this season, and was hailed by Guardiola as Mr. Zero Mistakes.

However, as the main central defender of Manchester United's main opponent in the Premier League, Rooney is no stranger to Otamendi. Not too good either.

In response to this, Rooney began to expand his range of activities, actively retreated, pulled out Otamendi, and waited for an opportunity.

Time is passing by quickly. Although there is one less player than the opponent, Manchester City still showed a strong tactical quality and integrity. Especially when they have an excellent away record. Before this game, they had won 8 consecutive away games in the Premier League, which is enough to make Manchester City proud, and it is also the source of their self-confidence, which will make them more confident.

Manchester United's offense has been greatly tested and has never been able to create an effective offensive.

Jesus elbowed Van Dijk when he was fighting for the top of the frontcourt, but because he already had a yellow card, the referee was lenient and only gave a stern warning and did not kill again. But soon, the referee also showed mercy to Manchester United. It was a long pass from Manchester City. The referee did not award a penalty kick when he fell down in the penalty area under close pressure. Guardiola protested angrily on the sidelines.

………………

The score has not changed, but the game is still very intense. Rooney still worked very hard to intersperse and run, looking for opportunities with his patient partner.

When the game progressed to the 71st minute, the opportunity finally appeared.

Manchester City lined up within 30 meters of the front of the penalty area. Manchester United failed to attack on the left. Vardy was forced to pass back to Luke Shaw. After Manchester United's left back stepped in, he glanced at the penalty area. There were people everywhere, and he couldn't score at all.

At this time, Rooney on the right suddenly retreated from the front and raised his hand for the ball. Luke Shaw diverted the ball and sent it to Rooney's feet.

Rooney's chest stopped, and he took advantage of the trend to make a trip to the middle.

Otamendi rushed up quickly and entangled Rooney tightly, while Fernandinho in the middle also quickly approached. One-on-one, Otamendi can't defend Rooney, so Guardiola asked Fernandinho to pay attention to assisting defense.

The same situation has happened many times in previous games, but this time it is a little different.

Since the ball was quickly transferred from the left to the right, Manchester City's entire defense line was also rapidly shifting. Fernandinho failed to double-team Otamendi at the first time as before. slow down.

Otamendi also has some problems with his own positioning. He still wants to restrict Rooney by double-teaming himself and Fernandinho as before. But Fernandinho was a little slower, and there was a gap between the two.

………………

Rooney has been waiting for an opportunity. When he realizes that there is a gap between Otamendi and Fernandinho, how can he miss such an opportunity, and he chooses to make a quick pass.

Rooney's start speed is very fast, and he is oblique to the penalty area, while Otamendi is on the right, and Fernandinho is one step away. Although the two Manchester City defensive players reacted at the same time, Rooney still allowed Rooney to grab the only gap, and at the fastest speed, took the ball out of the double-team of the two defensive players.

"Luke Shaw moved to the right, to Rooney! Rooney dribbled the ball...forcibly broke through! Beautiful!"

"Rooney was very fast, dribbled the ball between two Manchester City defenders and rushed to the front of the penalty area!"
