After Dzeko came on the court, Manchester City didn't need to play as complicated as before. Sometimes they just need to pass to the front court to find Dzeko. As long as Dzeko can get the header to ferry back, it will soon form a shot opportunity.
This simple and effective attack is the most terrifying, which means that opponents can pose a threat to Manchester United's goal at any time.
Manchester United's defence must always be vigilant, even if the two full backs dare not easily forward assists, let alone two centre backs.
Modern football is basically full attack and full defense football, whether it is full back or center back, need to participate in the attack, even if the goalkeeper is often involved in backcourt kick and long pass assists. In the same way, the forward and the avant-garde also have the defensive task. If the defender of a team can't participate in the defense, their attack power will certainly decline.
At this time, Manchester United are faced with an important choice, is simply play defensive counter attack, or regardless of the opponent's offensive threat, and opponents play.
it is safe to defend and counterattack, but this is a home game, facing the city rivals. Manchester United is the premier league leader, and has always been the boss of Manchester. They can not lose, and even can not be ugly on the scene.
Ferguson made a very clear decision, he replaced Giggs, replaced Scholes, Gao Xiaodong on the side, set up a good car and horse guns and Manchester City attack.
The Manchester United fans in the stands applauded the decision of the old manager Ferguson and were proud of his courage. When the score was ahead, it was not easy to make an offensive choice. Even some young and ambitious young managers could not do it, but Ferguson, an old man who was going to retire, did.
Scholes brought manager Ferguson's orders to Manchester United's players, who understood the manager's meaning and played against Manchester City under the command of Scholes.
Attack is naturally what all fans want to see, but the risk is also great. Due to the reduction of defense forces, both sides are constantly creating shooting opportunities.
After Gao Xiaodong pulled to the side, he and Nani formed a situation of two wings flying together.
Compared with Nani, Gao Xiaodong's side road is more dangerous.
Gao Xiaodong is faster and more powerful. The most important thing is that Gao Xiaodong plays in the position of edge and avant-garde, but he has the thinking of a midfield player. Whether he can form a sudden attack on the side or not, he is more reasonable than Nani. After Gao Xiaodong's pull, Manchester United's attack threat also increases sharply.
In the 75th minute of the game, Gao Xiaodong forced Richards on the flank. Richards fell to the ground and failed to intercept. Gao Xiaodong passed the baseline groundball to find Wayne Rooney. Lescott, who was in front of him, was in a hurry to break through under the pressure of Wayne Rooney, and the ball almost flew into his own door.
Manchester United got the chance of corner kick. Scholes took the corner kick. Vidic and Smalling came to Manchester City's penalty area to grab the spot. Vidic got the spot, but he was on top of Manchester City's guard. After the ball popped out, yayature got the spot and started to attack with the ball.
Scholes tried to break Manchester City's attack with tactical fouls, but Yaya Toure didn't look fast, because he took a big step. Scholes didn't touch Yaya Toure with his tackle.
Anderson tried his best to return to the defence, trying to get around yayature from behind.
Yayature had a good experience. He sensed Anderson's arrival ahead of time. He quickly stopped, turned around, threw Anderson away and passed the ball across to Silva, who was fast in.
Silva's passing vision and footwork are unmatched by back yayature. He took a few steps to catch the ball and immediately found the gap of Manchester United's defense. He sent out a curve ball with strong rotation from the side. The ball bypassed O'Shea and found Dzeko in the middle.
Dzeko is not only high, but also not slow. He is followed by Fletcher, but after Dzeko receives the ball, Fletcher can't catch up with him.
But after all, Dzeko is too high, but also with the ball, fast to the front of the penalty area, Fletcher or catch up with Dzeko.
However, Dzeko didn't stick to the ball. He turned to protect the ball and crossed it to Balotelli, who was inserted from his other side.
When Balotelli received the ball, Evra from the side quickly moved closer to the middle, and suddenly came to grab Balotelli.
Although Balotelli has a little brain, he is an undoubted genius on the court. He saw Evra rush forward and do not stop the ball. Instead, he leaked the ball, quickly turned around and swung past Evra, catching up with the ball from the outside.
When Balotelli caught up with the ball, people thought he would change to break through the forbidden area, but they didn't expect that Balotelli caught up with the ball and half turned to shoot with one foot.
This is an absolutely unexpected cold shot. At the moment, Gao Xiaodong has caught up with Balotelli. As long as Balotelli stops the ball, Gao Xiaodong will be able to steal immediately, but Balotelli just shoots.
The ball went straight to the top left corner of the goal.
Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was unprepared. After the ball flew out, van der Sar reacted and flew for the ball. But it was too late and the ball flew into the net close to the post.
2: 2
the gifted urchin Balotelli broke the gate of Manchester United with an imaginative cold shot.After the goal, Balotelli turned around and saw Gao Xiaodong. This guy still wanted to embrace Gao Xiaodong, but Gao Xiaodong turned around and walked to his half court, not giving Balotelli this opportunity.
Balotelli laughed. He took off his shirt, threw it to the ground, clenched his fists and showed his muscles to the fans.
Manchester United fans were very excited, they came thousands of people, these thousands of fans all picked up, shouting at the stadium, as if Balotelli finished the final.
However, it's really crucial to level the score at this time point. If we can't level the score now, Manchester City will have to attack on a large scale. At that time, the back line was empty and Manchester United might expand the score.
Now that the score is even, Manchester City have more choices. They can attack and defend. The initiative is entirely in their own hands.
Mancini was so excited that he raced around the court, hoping to rush into the field and hug Balotelli.
Mancini has been under pressure since he replaced Tevez. After all, Tevez is the first striker in the team, scoring 20 goals. If Balotelli, who replaced him, can't score, Manchester City can't win. I believe the media will question his decision to replace Tevez after the game.
Now, Balotelli has scored. No matter what the final result is, Mancini's replacement of Tevez will not be questioned and criticized.
Manchester City boss Mansour in the VIP box was very bright. He clapped hard and then said to Manchester United's young owner Joel: "ha ha, Balotelli is our city's Gao Xiaodong."
Joel smile, said: "Balotelli is a genius, but he and Gao Xiaodong can't compare, Gao Xiaodong is the genius of genius."
Mansour smile, "give Balotelli the chance to start, maybe he can score two goals."
Joel also smile, "yes, maybe, but Gao Xiaodong can score."
Mansour was stunned and said, "OK, let's wait and see."
