Chapter 287 Manchester Derby
Derby matches are generally more intense, and this is exactly the case with Manchester United and Manchester City at this time.
The spectators on the sidelines were already thinking of ways to cheer for the home team before the game even started.
Manchester United's lineup has generally remained the same, but now the double midfielders have become Pogba and Fellaini; on Manchester City's side, Aguero, the team's top scorer last season, was absent due to injury and missed this game;
After the referee blew the game, Manchester City served.
After the Manchester City players served the ball, they began to pass and control, and slowly advanced towards the Manchester United half. When they passed and received the ball, most of them were on the left side and rarely on the right side.
After all, the "Shen Peng Corridor" is well-known now. In addition to Shen Peng's long-distance breakthrough if he is not careful, he is also of great help to the team's defense there, especially with his speed and endurance, which has a natural restraint effect on pass-and-control play.
Guardiola suffered a lot there, so he specially asked the players to pay attention before the game and try to avoid contact with Shen Peng.
However, in this case, their pass control can only be carried out in the left center, the range is much smaller, and it is much easier for other Manchester United players to defend.
As for Manchester United, the team also focused on defense and did not act rashly.
So the first few minutes of the game seemed to be calm, and the two sides were testing each other.
But after the two sides gradually entered the state, Manchester City first started to attack.
In the No. 11 minute, they found a chance on the left.
Silva found a space among the Manchester United players, passed a through pass to Iheanacho who suddenly inserted, Iheanacho kicked and shot, but the ball was saved by the brave De Gea.
Although the goal was missed, the Manchester City players were not discouraged. After 2 minutes, they made a comeback again. This time, Nolito found an opportunity from the wing, and then made a cross.
Seeing repeated dangers in front of the goal, Mourinho hurriedly commanded from the sidelines, telling the players to pay attention to the stability of the defense line and not to be destroyed by the opponent's pass.
However, the Manchester City players who seemed to have found their form did not give up. No. 15 minutes, Ishinacho, who was passing the ball with his teammates in the middle, suddenly dribbled through after receiving the ball, and shot while bypassing the defender. This time, the ball was neither high nor caught by De Gea.
After scoring the goal, Ishinacho was very excited and immediately ran on the sidelines, as if demonstrating against the booing fans.
This also caused a backlash from the fans. It was already meal time, so many fans with bread and Coke at close range "entertained" him with the food in their hands.
Guardiola put his hands in his pockets. He didn't seem very excited, because he knew Shen Peng better than the players in the team. In the game against Shen Peng, he couldn't celebrate without leading by three goals.
After encouraging the players a little, he told them on the sidelines that they must pay attention to Shen Peng. Shen Peng plays a big role in defense and even more in offense.
The game restarted and Manchester United served.
Manchester City had just scored a goal and their morale was high, so they immediately made a high press on Manchester United, trying to grab the ball in midfield.
However, Manchester United's midfield players are not bad. Pogba, under the attack of the two opponents, made a precise pass and passed the ball to Shen Peng.
Shen Peng has been under the defense of De Bruyne, so when he takes the ball, he can only face the opponent with his back. In this way, he cannot directly attack the opponent's goal.
However, at this moment, Shen Peng suddenly made a movement that no one expected. When he turned his back to De Bruyne, he knocked his foot, and the ball passed directly through De Bruyne's legs and rolled backwards. At the same time, he himself turned around De Bruyne and chased after the ball!
De Bruyne also reacted immediately. After all, he is not a professional defensive player, and he doesn't know Shen Peng well, so he suffered a small loss immediately.
When chasing the ball, Shen Peng easily shook off De Bruyne, controlled the ball under his feet before the Manchester City full-back Sagna touched the ball, and then ran towards the baseline.
For Shen Peng's behavior, the Manchester City players were not too worried. The shooting angle near the baseline was not enough, and the other Manchester United players were still outside the penalty area at this time, and no one kept up with his rhythm!
Indeed, in the current Manchester United team, apart from him, Ibrahimovic is not a speed forward, and Rooney can't keep up, so he seems to be alone at this time!
He was near the baseline and when he was about to make a cross, he found that Ibrahimovic was still at the top of the arc outside the penalty area. If he passed, Ibrahimovic could only shoot from a long distance, and now there are Manchester City players defending next to Ibrahimovic, so this choice is not good.
So at this moment, he made a decision, that is, break through with the ball!
As soon as he moved his feet, he took the ball to meet Stones who was coming to defend.
Knowing Shen Peng's powerful skills, Stones did not act rashly. He just stood in his position and waited for Sania's support.
However, Shen Peng didn't give him this chance, and approached him at a very fast speed, and when he was about to approach him, he was about to break through to the right with the ball.
Stones did not suspect him, and adjusted his center of gravity, moving to the left.
But at this moment, Shen Peng kicked the ball with his right heel, and when the ball flew under his left foot, he pushed his left foot forward again. At the same time, his right foot kicked off the ground immediately. With this support, the whole person turned around Stones and chased after the ball!
Liver turns around!
However, due to inertia, Stones had no time to chase Shen Peng.
He also never thought that Shen Peng would break through in this way. In his defensive experience, Shen Peng can only break through to the right in this situation, because the left side will control the ball out of the bottom line if he is not careful. Losing the ball in this position is very damaging to morale.
At most, it is to use "the tail of the bull" to suddenly bring the ball back to the left when it is pushed to the right, but "the tail of the bull" means the player's center of gravity is still on the left, and there are traces to follow.
What if he didn't move, and Shen Peng really broke through from the right?
He thought so much for a moment, but he also quickly realized that he chased after him, and there was a goal behind him, so there was no room for loss!
