Stromman raised his head, and the sweat on his forehead immediately seeped into his eyes, hot and sour.
The lights at Old Trafford were so dazzling that he couldn't help squinting his eyes.
Opening his mouth and panting heavily, the Dutch felt that his chest cavity was burning, and there was a feeling of breathlessness. There was a fire that was about to erupt.
The game has reached the 70th minute, and the score is one to one!
Someone said before the game that this game will be the last Manchester derby of Ferguson's career, and it will also be the last derby of Mancini, so the two famous coaches have shown their ability to hold the box. Just to prove his coaching ability to everyone!
Relying on a strong lineup, Manchester City relied on the opposition to the guest. From the very beginning, they suppressed their rivals Manchester United and firmly controlled the midfield.
On the other hand, Manchester United, playing at home, the Red Devils are not conservative at all. They fought an offensive battle with Manchester City. There is a great momentum of invincibility, just to be able to kill the enemy and continue to maintain their league lead.
Both goals from both sides occurred in the second half.
Manchester City took the lead in Nasri assisted Milner to break Manchester United's goal.
But then, Manchester United took advantage of an opportunity to set the ball on the right side of the frontcourt. Van Persie took the penalty to the back point. Phil Jones' header hit Kompany's back and hit Joe Hart. The goal guarded.
This is also the second consecutive round of Manchester United to get an own goal!
Although many people feel that the strength of Manchester United players is not outstanding, this team is too resilient.
Only when you really walk into this stadium and have a real fight with the Red Devils Manchester United can you deeply understand the real scary place of this Red Devils.
Maybe the skills are not as good as people, maybe the scene is very passive, but they will never give up!
Relying on the spirit of the Red Devils, Manchester United, whose scene fell in the wind, dragged Manchester City abruptly.
Time, one minute and one second passed, and the intense consumption made everyone on the court look very tired.
The two sides could no longer maintain the fast-paced offensive and defensive battles of the first half and the beginning of the second half.
They had to stabilize the rhythm, and then slowly plot the opponent.
Stromman stretched out his hands and wiped his head and face vigorously, both hands dripping with wet hands.
That is sweat!
Manchester City's consumption is so amazing, Manchester United is certainly not much better, because they are more passive on the scene.
Also, their starting lineup is older.
Evra and Carrick, thirty-two, Ferdinand, thirty-four, and Giggs, thirty-nine!
It's hard to imagine how much stamina these veterans can still retain and can run!
Especially Giggs and Carrick, they are both midfielders!
In fact, Manchester City’s first goal just now came from a mistake by Giggs.
This Manchester United veteran actually appeared in the right midfielder in this game, and the opponent was Strowman.
It was when Giggs pulled to the wing to get the ball, Stroman decisively followed and stared closely.
The cunning Welshman wants to knock the ball with a heel and hit the ball on Stromman to hit the bottom line. When he makes a foul ball, Stromman is also not stupid. After breaking the ball, he takes the ball forward. Rush.
When rushing to the front of Manchester United's penalty area, it passed to Nasri, who suddenly knocked back after dribbling the ball into the penalty area.
Milner stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area, volleyed vigorously, and broke De Gea's goal!
Recalling the goal just now in his mind, Stroman couldn't help but realize the key point.
In front, David Silva always cut diagonally to the left from the center and entered the big penalty area. He caught the gap between Manchester United right back Rafael and Ferdinand, while the left forward Nasri was cruising in the defense and the center. Between the fields, more go inward.
In this way, Stroman gets a lot of room for action on the left.
If in this situation, he is more decisive and resolute in attacking, can he create a threat?
As soon as Stromman's idea emerged, he immediately felt that he had a lot to do.
But he had to look to the sidelines. Coach Mancini also noticed him. The two had eye contact. Stroman made a forward gesture, but Mancini didn't seem to understand.
This makes the Dutch feel very depressed, too lack of understanding, is there?
If it were Bielsa and winked, the Argentine lunatic would have guessed it.
Smart people!
As a last resort, Stromman could only make a more obvious gesture.
Mancini understood, but he did not give an answer on the spot. Instead, he called the assistant coach and discussed it carefully. After more than a minute, he caught an opportunity and made an ok gesture to Stroman. .
This made Stroman feel depressed again.
Compared with Bielsa's decision, Mancini is somewhat indecisive!
When thinking of Bielsa, Stroman couldn't help but think of Southampton, of Master Huan, and of those teammates.
Although he left Southampton, he still missed his days in Southampton.
Without Southampton, there would be no Kevin Strowman!
In any case, Manchester United must be beaten!
Stromman gritted his teeth and decided to himself.
The situation is as Stromman expected, Manchester City once again pressed into the 30-meter area of Manchester United.
Yaya Toure controlled the ball, Nasri and David Silva both attracted the attention of Manchester United defenders.
At first, Stromman just coped with Yaya Toure, seeing that Giggs was overwhelmed after a series of runs, and he was closer to the left, so the Welshman suddenly rushed forward when he was not closely guarding.
This move by the Dutch immediately disrupted Manchester United's defense.
Especially when Yaya Toure knows how to pass the ball in front of Stromman, the Dutchman stopped and dunked. After leaving Carrick, the entire defense of Manchester United was attracted by Stromman. , Everyone was taken aback.
Stop him!
This should be the first reaction of all Manchester United defensive players under conditioned reflex!
But Stromman caught a chance and found a gap in the line of defense. He stretched his left foot. With twenty meters away from the goal, pulling his leg was a direct shot!
Stromman's long shot was like a shock, and the angle was also very well-adjusted. It happened to pass by Phil Jones who lost his position and went straight to the goal.
De Gea reacted quickly, and Feishen made a save.
The Spanish goalkeeper is tall and handy, and his body is very stretched. When everyone was stunned, he blocked the ball with one hand, which was able to resolve an inevitable goal!
Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans at Old Trafford all screamed in exclamation. They were obviously taken aback by Stromman’s shot, but they didn’t wait for them to breathe, but they found that they were big and small. Aguero, I don't know when, he was in ambush in the restricted area.
De Gea pounced the ball, the ball bounced back into the penalty area, and Aguero went around ghostly, facing the falling ball, giving it a light push.
De Gea, who has just landed, can no longer stop the ball.
Other Manchester United defensive players can only stare at Aqui.
The ball crossed the white line of the goal and hit the net!
"!!!!!!"
Aguero opened his arms in excitement, his mouth was so open that he could squeeze a fist into it, rushed out of the penalty area, rushed to the corner flagpole, and forgot to celebrate his goal.
Stromman was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
Although he failed to score, Aguero's goal can also help Manchester City beat Manchester United!
Ever since, the Dutch followed Aguero excitedly and hugged the Argentine forward!
The deathly silence at Old Trafford was so quiet that only Manchester City players cheered and celebrated!
On the sidelines, in front of the home team's coach, Ferguson was stunned at the moment Aguero scored.
Then came rage, thunder rage.
I saw Ferguson raising his hands and shouting at the Manchester United players on the court.
"Why did you lose the ball? How did you do it?"
"Can this kind of ball be lost?"
Everyone can feel Ferguson's anger at this moment.
Yeah, finally tied the score with an own goal, now in a blink of an eye, but lost again.
what is this?
God, are you playing with me?
This is more than just three points!
If this game loses to Manchester City and Southampton takes the opponent again, the points gap will be shortened to five points.
With six rounds left in the league, the five-point gap is undoubtedly very dangerous.
More importantly, Manchester United has lost points in the last few rounds. How can people be relieved?
Ferguson realized that something was wrong, especially the players on the court, obviously exhausted.
"Mike!" Ferguson realized the problem and immediately turned around and shouted.
Mike Phelan immediately caught up, "Sir!"
"Quickly, let Shinji Kagawa and Cleverly warm up, I want them to play in three minutes!"
"Good!" Mike Feilan turned around and left.
"Wait!" Ferguson thought of something again, "Let Welbeck warm up again, and he too!"
Mike Ferran was a little surprised. Is this going to be three substitutes in one breath?
And from the perspective of Ferguson's substitutions, the three substitutions are all rushing to strengthen the team's offense.
But Mike Phelan was so afraid of Ferguson, he didn't dare to ask more, so he went to the bench to shout.
Mancini also noticed the movement on Manchester United's side, and he immediately made adjustments.
After Ferguson completed three substitutions, Manchester City also began to substitute.
First, Gareth Barry replaced David Silva to further strengthen the team's midfield hardness.
Then he replaced Nasri with Lescott and continued to strengthen the team's defense.
After completing these two substitutions, the time has entered eighty minutes.
In the remaining ten minutes or so, Manchester United changed the passivity before and began to press on, pressing down on Manchester City.
Manchester City, who played away in the game, looked like sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and even started to fight back defensively.
This made Ferguson in front of the home team coach almost vomiting blood.
Especially as the time of the game, every minute and every second passed, Ferguson was even more anxious to shout from the sidelines, constantly making adjustments, asking the players to continue to put pressure on Manchester City's defense.
Even scoring a goal is good!
After all, At this critical moment of winning, a difference of one point may undoubtedly determine the ownership of the champion!
But Manchester United has been exhausted for a long time. Before the game, they had been passively beaten for a long time. Now they have taken the initiative. Their physical energy is almost exhausted. The players are also seriously lacking in morale. In the end, they have not been able to reverse the situation and threaten Manchester City's goal.
With a whistle from referee Michael Dean, the final Manchester derby between Ferguson and Mancini finally came to an end.
With the key goals of Milner and Aguero, Manchester City defeated Manchester United away and scored three points, further consolidating their third position in the league.
Ferguson covered his face with his hands at the moment the whistle sounded.
He felt shameless to face this group of fans at Old Trafford.
At the same time, he prayed secretly in his heart, hoping that Southampton would also lose points! r1148
