Ye Su walked to the sidelines, and he called out the name of Van Dijk, the core of the team's defense. Seeing the Dutch central defender looking over, Ye Su made a downward gesture: Defend!

The morale of Manchester City, which regained the score, was greatly boosted. Instead, they took the initiative on the court in the final stage of the first half. However, Ye Su reacted quickly, and an order had been issued long ago. Manchester United retreated across the board, holding back Manchester City's offensive in the final stage.

In the end, at the end of the first half, Manchester United and Manchester City temporarily drew 1:1.

Guardiola was a little depressed. His team's morale was up. He had a hunch that if the team was given a little more time, they would probably knock on Manchester United's goal again. This time the intermission came at a really bad time.

Ye Su felt fortunate that the team was relatively passive at the last moment, and the intermission came at just the right time, which gave his team a chance to breathe.

During the intermission, Ye Su did not get angry. Instead, he praised the performance of the players, even though they allowed the opponent to score an equalizer at the end of the first half.

"Good job, continue to play like this in the second half!" Ye Su said.

Overall, Manchester United did play well in the first half of the game, basically fulfilling his tactical requirements, and cannot deny the performance and tactics of the first half of the game just because of a single mistake.

At this time, what the team needs is encouragement and encouragement. Ye Su has confidence in his players and believes that after the intermission, the team will not let him down in the second half of the game.

………………

After the start of the second half, Manchester City took advantage of the home court and launched a wave of offensives against Manchester City's penalty area amid the cheers of nearly 50,000 home team fans at the Etihad Stadium. They told everyone with their actions that this Their goal in every game is to win.

And a draw is obviously not Manchester United's goal. Ye Su also showed a tough response, and his team did not intend to withdraw their defense in the second half.

Ye Su and Guardiola made almost the same choice-attack, continue to attack, and strive for goals to win the game.

In fact, both teams are the best offensive teams in world football today. Manchester United has achieved 17 wins and 3 draws in the 20 Premier League games that have been played, scored 67 goals, averaged 3.35 goals per game, and has the highest attack power in Europe.

Manchester City's offensive power is not inferior to that of Manchester United. They scored 19 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in 22 rounds of the Premier League, scored 63 goals, averaging 2.86 goals per game.

In the five major leagues, the offensive power is barely comparable to that of the Manchester City duo. Only Paris Saint-Germain, the local tycoon who dominates in Ligue 1, scored 58 goals in 19 Ligue 1 games, averaging 3.05 goals per game. Even better than Manchester City, only slightly inferior to Manchester United.

The Western Super League duo originally known for their outstanding offensive power, although their offensive performance is still excellent this season, compared with the Manchester City duo, there is a clear gap.

Barcelona scored 48 goals in 18 La Liga games, averaging 2.67 goals per game; Real Madrid has suffered a major league decline this season, scoring only 35 goals in 18 La Liga games, an average of less than 2 goals per game. The poor performance on the offensive end, coupled with some problems in the defense, has caused the Galaxy Fleet to only rank fourth in La Liga this season, 13 points behind Barcelona.

In the five major leagues, the other teams known for their offensive power cannot compare with the Manchester City duo. The southern king of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, scored 37 goals in 17 rounds of the league, and the average goal will exceed 2 goals per game; Juventus, the Serie A team, scored 49 goals in 20 league games. , scored 44 goals in 20 Serie A games.

Of course, Manchester United and Manchester City's defense is also very strong,

Both teams, with multiple star guards, are very solid defensively.

Manchester United only conceded 14 goals in 20 Premier League games, which is the defense with the fewest conceded goals in the Premier League. Even if you look at the five major leagues, there are only a few teams such as Barcelona and Atletico Madrid with a stronger defense than Manchester United.

Manchester City conceded 15 goals in 22 Premier League games. Although they conceded one more goal than Manchester United, they conceded fewer goals per game than Manchester United. It can be said to be the strongest defense in the Premier League!

In the contest between the strongest spear and the strongest shield, the competition has reached a stalemate. In the fast-paced offensive and defensive transition, time also passed very quickly.

………………

In a blink of an eye, 70 minutes of the game had passed.

In the 71st minute of the game, Ye Su replaced Mata, who was starting to have problems with his physical fitness, and replaced him with Bruno Fernandez. Manchester United is undoubtedly strengthening its offensive power.

"Good job!" Ye Su and Mata clapped hands and praised.

In this game, Mata, who served as the midfielder, performed very well. With De Bruyne putting more energy on the defensive end, Mata took on the heavy responsibility of Manchester United's offensive organization.

It is precisely because of the heavy tasks and the huge amount of running that Mata was a little exhausted just after 70 minutes of the game.

Guardiola also immediately made tit-for-tat adjustments, and his substitutions were even more extreme than Ye Su, using Argentine striker Aguero to replace defensive midfielder Fernandinho!

After completing this substitution, Manchester City's formation remained unchanged. Bernardo Silva returned to the midfield and formed a three-midfield with Pogba and Gundogan. The three forwards are Aguero in the middle, Sterling and Sane are separated on the left and right.

Manchester City has no pure defensive midfielder on the field. Guardiola means to fight Manchester United!

………………

The head coaches of the two sides dispatched troops one after another, and replaced them with offensive players. The two sides played against each other, and the fans of both sides were the happiest. They were very excited to watch.

Ye Su and Guardiola, the two head coaches are standing on the sidelines directing the game at this time, both of them are frowning, staring at the field, hoping to catch each other's loopholes and gaps.

However, both Ye Su and Guardiola shook their heads. The two teams are attacking with all their strength at this time. The offensive and defensive rhythm is very fast. The mistakes of both sides have begun to increase. In this chaotic moment, the role of the head coach has been weakened, and it depends on the performance of the players on both sides.

"I hate this kind of chaotic battle." Guardiola said to his assistant Arteta. He felt that he could not use his coaching talent in such a chaotic game.

However, Ye Su liked this situation better. Compared with Manchester City, which is better at passing and controlling, the chaos is more beneficial to Manchester United.

At this time, an unexpected situation appeared on the field. Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney fell to the ground in the fight with his opponent. The World Footballer had a painful expression and left to make a substitution gesture.

"Damn it!" Ye Su cursed. He is now afraid of getting Rooney injured. As the number one player in the world to win the World Footballer and the European Ballon d'Or for two consecutive years, Lu Xiaopang is Manchester United's well-deserved number one star and absolute Attacking the core, his role is too important.

Ye Su hurriedly arranged for Rashford to warm up, while nervously paying close attention to the situation on the field.

………………

With the support of the team doctor, Rooney walked off the court slowly.

"How is it?" Ye Su asked the team doctor.

"I don't know the specifics, but I'm sure I won't be able to compete in the next game."

Grass!

Ye Su cursed, he could only go up to comfort Rooney, who was in a bad mood, and then quickly called Rashford back to teach the teenager face-to-face.

Rashford came off the bench to replace Rooney, who had left the field due to injury.

After Rashford came on the field, he did not appear on the right side where Rooney was, but went to the left, and Vardy switched to the right.

"Both coaches have shown their offensive courage through substitution adjustments." Lineker said, "Both teams are attacking with all their might. ball."

"Both sides are unwilling to accept a draw." Rio Ferdinand said, "Now, both sides are red-eyed. In this case, an accident is often enough to change the game."

………………

Rio Ferdinand felt that his mouth was really inlaid with gold. As soon as he said this, something unexpected happened on the field.

Faced with Bruno Fernandez's fierce press, Manchester City midfielder Gundogan chose to pass back. Harry Kane immediately rushed to Mangala who was about to take the ball. Central defender partner Stones.

Then came the accident.

Mangala's return pass was too weak, and Rashford immediately rushed over like a leopard out of the cage. He approached the football before Stones, and he was about to shoot with his foot. In a hurry, Stones shoveled directly. Then people saw Rashford fell in Manchester City's penalty area like a tree stump felled by an axe.

"Penalty kick!" Ye Su jumped up and shouted as if there was a spring under his buttocks.

"Flop!" This is Guardiola roaring.

The head coaches of the two teams stepped up on the sidelines, but both of them were relatively rational players, and they only had a verbal confrontation, not a full-scale martial arts show.

At this time, the on-duty referee Anthony Taylor had already made a penalty. He directly showed a red card to Manchester City's central defender Stones, sent off the opponent, and then awarded Manchester United a penalty.

This penalty caused dissatisfaction among the Manchester City players on the field, and Pogba also received a yellow card for his emotional protest. In the stands, tens of thousands of fans of the home team were even more angry, and boos all over the sky shook the sky above the Etihad.

"Penalty kick, when the referee Taylor sent off Manchester City defender Stones, Manchester United won a penalty kick, Pogba also received a yellow card for protesting..." Lineker shouted, "On the sidelines, Guardiola was very excited, and he protested loudly to the fourth official. But to be honest, there is nothing wrong with Taylor's penalty. Stones' foul action is obvious. Defensive players, the penalty plus red card is not controversial."

………………

Although Manchester City is very dissatisfied, the penalty cannot be changed. With the central defender sent off, Manchester City's defense is no longer complete, and Guardiola must make adjustments.

Although one person was sent off and a penalty kick was awarded, Guardiola did not intend to admit defeat, he still wanted to gamble. He has been the head coach of Manchester City for more than a year. During this period, Manchester City has nothing to gain except a Europa League championship.

With the club spending more than 500 million pounds in two consecutive summer transfer windows, a single Europa League obviously cannot satisfy the club management.

Don't look at Manchester City currently topping the Premier League standings and has also reached the Champions League knockout round. It seems that his coaching position is very stable, but Guardiola's pressure is still great.

For the head coach, the most important thing is to win the championship, even if it is a League Cup championship!

Having already reached the semi-finals, Guardiola hopes that the team will go one step further and win this trophy!

Manchester United's penalty kick, Rashford stood on the penalty spot.

Although Manchester United's penalty kicks are often taken by Bruno Fernandez, Rashford's penalty kicks are also good. He wants to take the penalty kick he created, and no one competes with him.

………………

Manchester City goalkeeper Bravo stood in front of the goal, moving his body left and right, opening his hands continuously, retracting them, and opening them again, the movements were very large and exaggerated.

Referee Anthony Taylor's whistle blows.

Rashford runs up and he shoots to the left of the goal.

Bravo successfully judged the right direction, and saw the 184cm tall goalkeeper rushing out of the water like a fish, throwing his body out of the water, and his right hand touched the football.

"Rashford! Run-up! Shot! Bravo! Saved!" John Mortenson shouted. "The Chilean did it - the shot! The shot! Rashford! He put the ball in. Net! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!”

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!" Lineker was also yelling, "Bravo made a fantastic save, he saved the penalty, the goalkeeper has done enough, but for Rashford's compensation Shoot, he has nothing to do! 2:1! Manchester United once again exceeded the score!"

Rashford, who scored a supplementary shot, looked very excited. He rushed to the stands where the fans of the visiting team gathered, and took off his jersey while running.

Rashford is naturally very excited to be able to come off the bench in an important game like the League Cup semi-final against Manchester City and score a goal to overtake the score.

He is a native of Manchester, and his whole family is a Manchester United fan. He has been in the Manchester United youth academy since he was 6 years old, from the junior team to the youth team, from the youth team to the first team, and then became the European Golden Boy Award. His career has been shining all over the world since his debut, which is destined to be extraordinary.

Rashford is a very grateful person. He knows that everything he has now is given to him by Manchester United, and he got it with the help of Manchester United coach Ye Su. He believes that he will always play for Manchester United until he grows old. .

Rashford, who is only 19 years old, has even planned his career well.
