The slow motion of the stadium's big screen finally showed the whole process of Gao Xiaodong's goal.
After being knocked down by Barry, Gao Xiaodong got up for the first time and ran to the penalty area as fast as he could. However, when Valencia was passing the ball, Gao Xiaodong suddenly changed his direction and stepped back.
At that time, few fans paid attention to Gao Xiaodong's change, but it turned out that Gao Xiaodong's movement was very important, which was the sense of smell of the striker. As a midfield player, it was very difficult to do this step.
Gao Xiaodong's goal is a great blow to Manchester City. After the opening, although Manchester City didn't have any advantage on the scene, they played according to their own rhythm. In addition to Gao Xiaodong's goal, they didn't give Manchester United a good chance, and their counterattack was also very dangerous.
However, Gao Xiaodong's goal broke Mancini's wishful thinking. It's difficult for him to insist on defensive counterattack. Manchester United, who is one goal ahead, will definitely reduce the number of attacking troops, so that Manchester City's counterattack threat will be reduced.
However, it is difficult for Mancini to make a change immediately at this time, because the game is only 23 minutes now, and the players on the field are all configured according to the defensive counterattack, which is not good for Manchester City immediately. Maybe the Old Man United will continue to play while the iron is hot.
Mancini is also an experienced and resourceful coach. He didn't immediately change his tactics. He called over key players such as kompani and yayature to calm the players down and continue to play according to the original tactics.
The players didn't all agree with Mancini's decision, but they didn't oppose it. They all chose to support Mancini's decision.
Before the match, some of Manchester City's players and Mancini had a little bit of conflict, but Tevez was put on the bench, Balotelli also reconciled, other players also understand that now can not blame each other, the most important thing is to work together, beat Manchester United, to get the only possible FA Cup title.
Manchester United's players did slow down the pace of the game after the goal, they want to see Manchester City's impetuous attack, so they have a chance to quickly expand the score.
However, after Manchester City lost the ball, they didn't rush forward and still played according to the original rhythm, which surprised the Manchester United players. They played two games with Manchester City this season. Although Manchester United beat Manchester City twice, it was very difficult to win, and they also saw that the opponent was improving every time, which made the Manchester United fans secretly surprised and made the Manchester United players more determined to win the same city The determination of the enemy's upward momentum to suppress it.
This is a game at Wembley Stadium. Hundreds of millions of fans all over the world pay attention to it. Since Manchester City don't attack, as the Premier League's overlord, the world's top giants Manchester United can only continue to attack.
The goal of Manchester city came from Gao Xiaodong's position ahead of time and the attack forward. It can't be said that Manchester City didn't prepare for this. The main reason is that Gao Xiaodong's attack was too fast, coming and going like electricity, and there were two very imaginative personal performances, which suddenly tore apart the defence of Manchester City.
After losing the ball, Manchester City paid more attention to the defense of Gao Xiaodong's running without the ball, especially the two villains, Derong and Barry, who kept on making physical contact with Gao Xiaodong when they didn't have the ball to prevent Gao Xiaodong from jumping in front of him.
The referee Quinn's energy is mainly on the players with the ball. When Gao Xiaodong was fouled, he didn't get Quinn's attention, and even didn't catch a foul, but the speed and timing of forward insertion were greatly affected.
Manchester City's strength is very strong. After more than a season of running in, Mancini's strength is getting stronger and stronger. Although he can't compete with Manchester United for the time being, he also has the strength of the first World War. Gao Xiaodong's assists are not of high quality before winter. Scholes is old and doesn't have much attacking power. Carrick has to stay in the back to defend. Even if Manchester United can form a cross on the side, Manchester United will be defeated It's not difficult for the city's back line to defend a Berbatov with little explosive power.
At this time, in order to increase the attack power of the front court, only the defender assists, or Nani and Valencia play their personal ability to shoot inside and increase the threat to the goal.
If the score is 0-0, Manchester United need to score. At this time, all kinds of attacking magic weapons are used. But now, Manchester United are in the lead with one goal, scoring is not the first priority, and no goal is the first. Naturally, they will not weaken their defense to increase their attacking power. Therefore, the two full backs Evra and O'Shea did not all go up to support, unless the opportunity is very good, Two talents go up to assist, mainly rely on the front court trio plus Gao Xiaodong and Scholes five attack.
Manchester City blocked Manchester United's attack for almost 10 minutes, and finally slowed down. Under the leadership of Silva and yayature, they launched an attack on Manchester United.
With Mansour's strong financial support, Manchester City has collected a group of talented and powerful players. The main reason why they had ups and downs before was that they didn't run in well enough. After the second half of the season, their performance has been rising.
Now that Manchester United have suffered a setback, city are finally starting to show the strength of the gold medal to the world's fans.
In the 38th minute, Silva dribbled continuously on the right and crossed the middle of the penalty area after passing Evra.
Balotelli cleverly ran away from Vidic and Ferdinand and got a fleeting chance to shoot. He shot in the air without stopping.However, when the ball came over, it bounced on the turf. Balotelli kicked it out, and the ball leaked from behind him. Balotelli also fell to the ground.
This caught everyone by surprise. Vidic, who came to block, was staggered when he was intercepted, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar was directly shaken to the ground.
Barry was caught off guard when he missed the ball in front of Barry. He took two steps to catch up with the ball 10 yards from the left rib and turned to hit the empty goal, but this good opportunity was hit by him on the side net.
Although Manchester City's attack was very dangerous, the scene just now was so funny that the fans on both sides couldn't help laughing. It was just that Manchester United fans laughed with a trace of fear, while Manchester City fans laughed with a lot of regret.
Although there was no goal in this wrong attack, it raised the morale and confidence of Manchester City players, and then Manchester City's offensive was very strong, pushing the formation forward nearly 20 meters.
Mancini is not dissatisfied because the players don't obey his orders. The situation on the pitch is changing rapidly. After Manchester City defends steadily, the morale of the army is stable, and a wave of attack has become a great threat. At this time, it's not bad to take advantage of the situation to attack. The attack depends on morale, and Manchester City doesn't have the ability to break Manchester United's defense. In the previous two leagues, Manchester City attacked Breaking through the gate of Manchester United, just not holding it.
Manchester City's attack choice is not bad. After Manchester United opened the goal, Manchester City forced the ball down, and Silva broke through the cross pass from the side again.
Blankly young Balotelli shot from 30 yards with his right foot, which was heavy, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar pushed the ball out of the crossbar.
Manchester City quickly opened a tactical corner. Adam Johnson passed the ball across the penalty area. Manchester United missed man to man. City centre back Lescott volleyed 6 yards from the goal. However, the defender's shooting method was really moving. Lescott hit the ball into the sky.
Although Manchester City's attack still did not get the goal, but the sideline of Ferguson's face has become extremely grim, he saw the opponent's difficult, from the strength and experience, Manchester City is stronger than the previous two times, the timing of the attack is also very good, but the shooting is poor, if Gao Xiaodong to Manchester City, it is estimated that Manchester United has been 1:2 behind, even if Manchester City has A shot is inferior to Gao Xiaodong's Rooney, the score is not easy to say.
Ferguson hopes his disciples can resist the attack of Manchester City and discuss the way to deal with Manchester City at half-time.
