Chapter 191 Sweeping Manchester United, Manchester Has Changed!

Watching Manchester City gradually take control of the midfield, Moyes couldn't sit still.

He asked Rooney to drop back and join in the midfield battle.

Lu Xiaopang was a little reluctant. Why could Van Persie stay in front but he couldn't?

I am also a forward!

But Moyes treated him well, and he didn't want to fall out with Moyes for the time being, so he still carried out Moyes' order.

After Rooney retreated, Manchester United formed two strangulation lines in the midfield.

In front are Rooney, Ashley Young and Valencia.

Behind are Fellaini and Carrick.

After the two levels of interception lines are clear, their midfield defensive capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

Lin Quan once again imagined that it would be very difficult to take advantage of the disconnect between the opponent's back line and the midfielder line to counterattack as before.

However, he soon noticed that after everyone from Manchester United ran to the midfield, the defense on the wing was empty.

As a result, Lin Quan gave up attacking from the center, and instead pulled more teammates to attack the opponent's two wings.

It's not that Manchester City has never played on the wing before, but Navas and Nasri on both wings do not have the organizational ability like David Silva.

They are qualified as wing blasters, but if they are asked to organize the team's frontcourt offense, they are still short of firepower.

This resulted in Manchester City's attack on the wing being loud but rainy, failing to pose a threat.

When Manchester United played against Chelsea before, Chelsea also used two wings to launch an attack, but was ultimately successfully defended by Manchester United.

After previous successful defensive experience, Manchester United's players are not very worried about this attack.

But after Lin Quan pulled aside, the situation was different again.

He is different from ordinary wing players. He is very versatile and can serve as a wing blaster and organize attacks on the wing.

Moreover, his addition gives Manchester City one more person when attacking from the wing, which greatly increases the difficulty of Manchester United's defense.

The situation began to tilt towards Manchester City again, and Manchester United's defense on the wing became shaky under Manchester City's crazy attack.

In the stands, after seeing Lin Quan's choice, Guardiola showed a happy smile on his face.

This kid is thinking about himself!

After he brought the team's organizational work to the wing, he bypassed the fighting in the midfield and completely disabled the opponent's defensive arrangement.

Now, Manchester United is feeling uncomfortable!

"Coach, are Manchester United encountering any trouble?"

Ten Hag's ability to read the game is not as good as Guardiola's, but he can also see at this time that Manchester United is in a very passive situation on the court.

"Well, they are at a disadvantage in wing defense, and the entire defense is starting to falter. If they can't make adjustments immediately, I'm afraid they will lose the ball soon."

After hearing Guardiola's words, Ten Hahe's eyes widened and he stared at the game on the field.

Try to see it more realistically.

Seeing that the other party was so serious, Guardiola asked:

"If you were the manager of Manchester United, what do you think you should do now?"

Ten Hag just heard Guardiola's analysis of Manchester United's wing defense problems, so he naturally felt that the wing defense should be strengthened.

"Is that so?"

Hearing his answer, Guardiola did not make any comments and seemed to be waiting for Moyes to make adjustments.

…

Moyes is not blind, of course he can see that Manchester United's situation is precarious.

However, he did not directly strengthen the defense on the wing as Ten Hahe thought.

There are only so many players on the field, so strengthening the wings means weakening the center.

They have seen Manchester City's offensive power in the middle before. Lin Quan is a free man with extremely high football intelligence.

Once Manchester United makes adjustments, he will definitely return to the center immediately and exploit Manchester United's weaknesses.

In this case, unless he, the head coach, personally goes on the field and adjusts the team's tactics anytime and anywhere, it won't work at all.

So, what should Manchester United do?

Moyes only thought of one way, and that was to send people to restrict Lin Quan.

Since the problem lies with this guy, let’s deal with him in a targeted manner!

If he can be killed, Manchester City's offensive threat will plummet.

Thinking of this, Moyes took advantage of the dead ball opportunity to call Fellaini over and gave him some instructions.

…

A few minutes later, Lin Quan on the court discovered that Manchester United seemed to have adopted a dedicated man-marking arrangement for him.

Fellaini is like a follower, following him all the time.

Seeing Manchester United's choice, Lin Quan simply couldn't ask for it.

I am worried that Manchester United's defensive strength in the middle is still too strong, making it difficult for teammates to seize opportunities.

It's better now that Manchester United has abandoned its martial arts.

Then you're welcome!

He did not return to the center, but continued to cooperate with his teammates on the wing.

However, Manchester City's offensive line has undergone great changes.

Lin Quan started to cooperate more with the team's forward Aguero!

In the 36th minute of the first half, Lin Quan received the ball in the frontcourt. Fellaini quickly came over. Lin Quan did not take the ball, but quickly passed the ball to Navas' feet.

Navas ran away with the ball, and Lin Quan responded from behind.

Fellaini thought for a moment and stayed with Lin Quan.

Evra rushed up to intercept, Navas passed the ball back to Lin Quan, and took Evra away himself.

Lin Quan did not stop the ball and directly kicked Aguero in the middle.

With Fellaini gone, Manchester United is left with only a single defensive midfielder, which makes their defense in the backcourt slightly empty.

Carrick rushed forward immediately, but Aguero and Nasri hit the wall and passed each other, and he entered the penalty area.

Vidic rushed forward, and Aguero didn't try to get past the opponent or hit the goal himself. Instead, he passed the ball across to his teammate.

Navas, who cut in from the wing, received Aguero's pass. Facing his national team teammate De Gea, he calmly pushed and shot past the goal guarded by De Gea.

The score became 2:0.

Although Aguero was the one who assisted the ball in the end, it was Lin Quan's through ball that sent the most critical pass.

Although he moved to the wing, he is still the core organizer of Manchester City's frontcourt.

And precisely because he is on the wing, he receives far less defense than in the center.

Although Moyes arranged for Fellaini to defend him, there was too much space on the wing.

After Lin Quan reduced his dribbling time and continued to cooperate with his teammates, Fellaini couldn't stop him at all.

Seeing that Lin Quan was able to help his teammates score goals under his personal defense.

Fellaini's face was a little confused!

After the game restarted, he increased the intensity of physical confrontation and even used fouls to prevent Lin Quan from organizing the offense.

"Boy, don't think about playing football as comfortably as before, I will kill you!"

After knocking down Lin Quan in a collision, Fellaini said viciously to Lin Quan who fell to the ground.

He hopes to disturb his opponents and leave a psychological shadow on them through harsh words.

However, Lin Quan didn't pay attention to his threat at all, and didn't even bother to waste time lying on the ground.

He quickly stood up, took advantage of Fellaini's harsh words, took a quick free kick, and handed the ball to Aguero.

Aguero passed to Fernandinho, who moved wide to the left and handed it to Nasri.

After receiving the ball, Nasri chose to cut inside and shoot. De Gea made a key save and lifted the ball over the crossbar.

"Concentrate and don't get distracted!"

After saving the ball, De Gea was very dissatisfied with the performance of his teammates.

Quick free kicks are very common on the court. As long as the teammates are more focused, the opponent will not be able to take a shot.

Fellaini made an apologetic gesture to his teammates. The goal was obviously his fault.

He glared at Lin Quan fiercely, but Lin Quan had a smile on his face and nodded at him.

Then he slowly ran away from him, preparing to take a corner kick.

A provocation must be a provocation!

Fellaini was furious. He was originally going to use trash talk to provoke Lin Quan's emotions and make the other party's mentality unbalanced, but instead he became the first to become unbalanced.

"Man City's corner kick opportunity, Lin Quan chose to handle it personally."

"The corner kick was taken and it fell into the middle of the penalty area but was pushed out by Smalling. The ball was still at the feet of Manchester City."

"Zabaleta passed the ball from the left side of the frontcourt again, and Yaya Toure hit the goal. Oops, it was blocked!"

"The ball is still there, the ball is still at the feet of Manchester City. Aguero's shot, De Gea made a contribution, he saved the ball, wait, the ball rolled to Lin Quan's feet, wasn't he in the corner kick area? , when did you rush into the penalty area?"

Seeing the ball rolling towards Lin Quan, the Manchester City fans near the goal area stood up collectively.

Can this goal be scored?

Lin Quan ran along the baseline, and when he caught the ball, the angle was close to zero.

In this case, most people will most likely choose to pass the ball!

Manchester United's defenders thought the same way. They quickly blocked Lin Quan's passing line, but did not immediately step forward to interfere with Lin Quan's goal.

This is definitely a fatal mistake!

"Don't let him knock on the door!"

When De Gea saw the ball rolling to Lin Quan's feet, he broke out in a cold sweat.

As a teammate of Lin Quan's national team, he knew this guy's strength very well.

Zero angle does not mean absolute safety, because this guy has a weird kick!

De Gea guessed it right!

After getting the ball, Lin Quan glanced at the direction of the goal. Without any hesitation, he decisively chose to shoot into the far corner.

When De Gea shouted, he had already judged that the opponent was going to hit the far corner, so he immediately made a save in the direction of the far corner.

However, the weirdness of this ball was far beyond his imagination.

The football drew an exaggerated arc, bypassed De Gea's interception, and flew into the goal after grazing the far post.

De Gea is still a step too slow!

Even though he was on guard, he still couldn't stop the ball.

I used to be teammates with Lin Quan in the national team. When I saw Lin Quan using this trick against other teams, I just thought that this kind of licking shot with a weird arc was very magical.

However, when he actually encountered such a hit on the field, he realized how desperate the goalkeeper was.

After scoring twice, Lin Quan passed by Fellaini on the way to celebrate. He glanced at Fellaini, as if asking him:

What were you talking about just now?

Fellaini's face turned blue and white, and he was really angry.

Just after he said the harsh words, Lin Quan seemed to help his teammates score a goal, and then took advantage of his trash talk to score another goal himself.

These two goals were like two slaps, hitting him hard on the face.

…

Seeing that Manchester City had already taken a 3-goal lead in the first half, Guardiola puffed up his chest proudly and wanted to praise Lin Quan's heroic performance to everyone he met.

As an old father, he was deeply gratified to see his son's outstanding performance at the scene.

Ten Hahe on the side didn’t quite understand:

"Coach, Manchester City is in such good shape, isn't this bad news for us at Bayern? Why are you so happy?"

"Forehead……"

Guardiola was speechless for a moment and had to nod his head:

"What you said makes sense. We should be more serious."

Although he said that, when the Manchester City fans at the scene started a crowd to celebrate the goal, Guardiola quickly put aside what he just said and went crazy with the audience. stand up.

Ten Hahe on the side stretched out his hand to cover his face:

Coach, at least you should take our status into consideration!

We are now the coach of Bayern. If the Bayern club sees you like this, what will they think?

We don’t know yet what Bayern will think, but Manchester City boss Mansour, who was watching the game at the scene, saw that Guardiola was actually mingling with the audience, and his eyes lit up.

I couldn't help but have some thoughts in my heart.

Although the results of Pellegrini's team are not bad, after winning this game, Manchester City will achieve six consecutive victories in all competitions.

However, the Chilean engineer's reputation is still a little small, and he is still a little dissatisfied.

And in terms of strength, Pellegrini is indeed inferior to Guardiola.

If he had to choose between the two, Mansour would choose Guardiola without hesitation.

Since Guardiola likes Manchester City so much, is there a chance to lure him over?

He thought of the invitation he extended to Guardiola when he visited Lin Quan in Munich.

Although Guardiola said he had a contract, he did not explicitly reject Manchester City's invitation.

So, there is still a chance!

…

The first half ended quickly after Lin Quan scored Manchester City's third goal.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Manchester United made personnel adjustments, and Cleverley replaced Ashley Young.

However, this substitution did not achieve any results, and Manchester United's situation remained passive.

On the contrary, Manchester City, after taking a huge lead, the players became more and more relaxed and their cooperation in the frontcourt became better and better.

Only 2 minutes into the second half, Aguero scored another goal, turning the score into 4:0!

Manchester City was already playing crazy, while Manchester United on the opposite side was obviously stunned.

The fourth time he retrieved the ball from his own goal, De Gea angrily kicked the ball hard, seemingly taking this opportunity to vent his anger.

In this game, Manchester United played extremely frustratingly. They had no energy left, but before they had a chance to show it, they were beaten to death by the opponent's bastard punch.

On the sidelines, Moyes was helpless. Seeing the frustrated expressions of the players, he couldn't even say words of encouragement.

Moyes couldn't help but think about a question:

If it were Ferguson, what would he do at this time?

He seemed to have forgotten Mourinho's previous attack and really fell into the shadow of Ferguson.

After taking a big lead, Pellegrini began to make personnel adjustments.

In the 71st minute, Milner came on and replaced Navas.

Five minutes later, Aguero was also replaced. Among the three major contributors to the goal, only Lin Quan was still on the court.

Seeing that Manchester United's offense had no threat, the players completely lost their fighting spirit.

Pellegrini finally boldly replaced Lin Quan in the 86th minute.

When Lin Quan came off the field, the fans at the scene stood up and applauded him.

His performance deserved a standing ovation from the fans, not to mention the fans. The cameras even captured the Manchester City owner and club chairman standing and applauding him in the box.

Seeing the other party's No. 10 stealing the show, Lu Xiaopang was very angry and jealous at the same time.

So, after Lin Quan left the field, Lu Xiaopang suddenly became active as if his fighting spirit suddenly ignited.

In the 87th minute of the game, Rooney was fouled by a Manchester City player while dribbling the ball.

Manchester United gets a chance for a free kick in the frontcourt.

Lu Xiaopang personally took the free kick. After taking a look at Joe Hart's position, he chose to hit the upper right corner of the goal.

The quality of this penalty was extremely high. Joe Hart could do nothing about it. He could only watch the ball fly into the upper right corner of the goal!

4:1, Manchester United got a goal back.

This was Rooney's fifth consecutive goal against Manchester City, but it was a pity that the ball came too late.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 4:1 at home and won the city derby.

After this game, the sky in Manchester completely changed color!

The red fades and the blue emerges.
