Chapter 330 Attack on the Seventh Crown Champion!

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again. Real Madrid, unwilling to fall behind, began to make substitution adjustments.

They replaced Isco and replaced James Ronaldo, who had just joined the team.

As the top bidder in the transfer market this summer, Ronaldo received unanimous expectations from the fans when he played.

Everyone wants to see how good the star Real Madrid bought for 82 million euros is.

Ronaldo was very active after coming on the court, working hard on both the offensive and defensive ends.

This attitude made Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti nod with satisfaction on the sidelines.

Although Ronaldo is worth a lot of money, he is still far behind compared to the two big brothers in the team.

If he wants to integrate into Real Madrid's tactical system as soon as possible, he must adopt a more positive attitude.

Ronaldo performed very hard, but the tacit understanding between his teammates and him was really not good.

In addition to a few wonderful performances when he first appeared on the field, he quickly became invisible on the field in the following time.

This performance disappointed the Real Madrid fans who came to the scene. Did you buy such a guy for 82 million?

Why do you feel like this money is going down the drain?

Although Ronaldo's performance was 'not as good as expected', other players in the Real Madrid team stood up.

After practicing hard for a summer, Benzema's shooting skills have made huge progress.

In the 62nd minute of the second half, he received a pass from his teammate and completed a difficult goal that was almost impossible to score before.

This goal was so unexpected. Manchester City goalkeeper Navas was not prepared enough and failed to save in time. He accidentally became the backdrop for Benzema's goal!

Being able to turn the best goalkeeper in La Liga last season into his background shows how beautifully Benzema played this ball!

After scoring, Benzema celebrated with a slide in excitement, and roared at the camera while sliding.

After being eliminated from the World Cup, Benzema suffered too much infamy.

It’s okay to take the blame in the club, but you have to take the blame in the national team. This is really outrageous!

He once wanted to quit the national team when fans throughout France were scolding him.

Later, under Deschamps' persuasion, Benzema changed his mind, but the breath in his heart was always held in his heart and could not be vented!

Now, he finally vented his emotions!

Seeing Benzema so excited, Manchester City players were a little confused.

Isn't it just a warm-up match?

As for being so excited?

The opponent feels as if they are still playing in the Champions League semi-finals!

However, not all players in the Manchester City team don't care much about Benzema's goal.

Freshman defender Van Dyke, who has played in four consecutive games, is very concerned about conceding the ball this time.

After losing the ball, he took the initiative to run to goalkeeper Navas and apologized to the opponent, indicating that it was his defensive error that caused the ball.

He had just locked up his position and forced Benzema near the baseline.

The opponent's shooting angle was close to zero. Van Dijk felt that the opponent should not be able to complete the shot in this situation. Even if he forced the shot, he would not be able to pose a threat to the goal.

However, he underestimated the strength of top stars.

Benzema happens to be the little prince on the bottom line. His threat near the bottom line must not be underestimated.

"It's okay, I didn't expect the opponent to shoot!"

Navas generously forgave the other party. In fact, he did not blame the other party at all.

Van Dijk has never played against Real Madrid before and does not know the personal characteristics of the opponent's star. It is normal to make mistakes in that situation.

Navas had played against Real Madrid in La Liga and should have been more aware of Benzema's characteristics, but he still did not guess that the opponent would do that.

If the responsibility is really investigated, Navas feels that his responsibility seems to be greater!

Several defenders were reviewing their defensive mistakes just now, and Manchester City's midfielders were also discussing how to curb the passing of Real Madrid's midfield.

"Modric is crucial to Real Madrid's offense. We focus on marking him and limiting his passing. Don't let Real Madrid's frontcourt players catch the ball and shoot comfortably!"

In the subsequent games, Modric received special attention from Manchester City.

Although he relied on his rich experience and abundant physical fitness to work hard to reduce the impact of the opponent's pressing and double-teaming, he still inevitably made many mistakes.

Manchester City's ability to catch mistakes is very strong. Taking advantage of the mistakes of the opponent's midfielder, they scored two goals in the 77th and 89th minutes of the second half by Lin Quan and Aguero.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid 4:2 and entered the final.

This script is almost exactly the same as the one when the two sides met in the Champions League semi-finals. Manchester City also defeated Real Madrid before reaching the final and winning the championship.

And this time, they seem to be replicating the original miracle!

In another game, Liverpool and Manchester United started a double-red battle.

This game was equally intense, with Liverpool taking a 2-goal lead in the first half.

But in the second half, Manchester United's stars began to exert their strength.

Especially Di Maria, his breakthrough made Liverpool miserable.

After Di Maria came on the field, he helped the team create a penalty kick and scored a goal himself.

Under the leadership of Di Maria, Manchester United launched a vigorous counterattack, and finally defeated Liverpool 5:3 and won another double red club victory.

In the end, the two Manchester teams reached the final and will stage another Manchester derby for a global audience three days later.

Manchester City twice beat Manchester United last season, and they both won by big scores.

This makes Manchester United full of desire for revenge. They desperately hope to defeat Manchester City on the field and prove to the world that the Red Devils are the boss of Manchester.

With this desire for revenge and the expectation of victory, Manchester United's stars shouted to Manchester City on the media and social platforms before the game or directly challenged them, saying that they would teach them a lesson.

In this regard, Manchester City's reaction was lukewarm.

Almost all Manchester City stars, including Lin Quan, responded to this.

In fact, there is nothing to respond to!

The opponent was so desperate that they wanted revenge, but Manchester City had no such need.

They are the leaders now, and there is no need to challenge their defeated generals. That would be too embarrassing.

As for the real response, of course it is to teach Manchester United a lesson on the field and let them know that the sky in Manchester is still blue!

On August 5, the Manchester Derby was officially staged at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.

The difference is that this time the derby does not take place in the UK, but thousands of miles away in the United States.

But even so, the derby atmosphere in Sun Life Stadium is not weak at all.

As the most influential club in the world, the Red Devils have a considerable number of fans in the United States.

In the stadium that can accommodate 80,000 people, there are almost 40,000 Manchester United fans wearing red jerseys.

Compared with them, Manchester City, which has only emerged in recent years, has a much weaker foundation.

Therefore, the number of fans present to support them was only half that of the other side, about 20,000 people.

Most of the remaining 20,000 fans are neutral fans, and some fans wearing jerseys of other clubs, such as Real Madrid, Barcelona and Bayern, come to join in the fun.

As the last game of this International Champions Cup, both sides attach great importance to it.

Both sides played their main players in this game, and even Van Dijk, who had played continuously before, was on the bench this time.

Although Manchester City looks down on this so-called International Cup champion, they do like another championship - the European Super Cup!

After finishing this warm-up, Manchester City will immediately return to Europe to play a game with the last Europa League champion Sevilla to compete for the European Super Cup trophy.

Due to the successive upsets of the Champions League champions in the previous Super Cups, this event has become a hotbed of upsets.

Manchester United, Inter Milan, Chelsea and other Champions League champions have fallen at the feet of the Europa League champions one after another.

In the Bayern VS Chelsea match last season, Bayern almost capsized in the gutter.

If Chelsea's forward Romelu Lukaku hadn't missed the penalty kick in the final penalty shootout, it would have been hard to win.

As the new European champions, Manchester City is participating in the European Super Cup for the first time.

So they take this event very seriously. After all, it is very embarrassing for the Champions League champion to lose to the Europa League champion.

Out of respect for Sevilla, Manchester City plans to practice their tactics with their city rivals Manchester United this time in the Super Cup.

After the game started, Manchester United's players pressed the whole court like mad dogs.

They eagerly hope to score a few more goals against Manchester City and avenge their disgrace!

However, Manchester City was completely unmoved. Facing Manchester United's pressing, they calmly passed and reversed, making full use of the width of the playing field to mobilize the opponent back and forth.

Even, in order to attract the opponent to rush out, they will actively move the formation back, causing Manchester United's formation to press out involuntarily, exposing the space in the back line.

After seeing the space exposed in the opponent's backcourt, Manchester City seized the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack.

The Manchester United team retreated at full speed, and their players seemed to be playing according to the Dutch team's total attack and defense tactics.

However, this tactic requires very high personal abilities of the players.

Sure enough, after several attacks by Manchester City, the opponent's players began to make mistakes.

In the 27th minute, Manchester City made multiple cross-position changes in the frontcourt, disrupting Manchester United's defense.

This kind of cross-positioning tests the experience of the defensive players. There are particularities in when to follow and when to hand over to teammates who are assisting in defense.

If you are not careful, you will cause errors in defensive cooperation and create opportunities for the opponent.

Lin Quan keenly caught the loophole in the opponent's defense, suddenly increased his speed, and forced his way through the space between the two Manchester United players.

The two made mistakes in cooperation and failed to stop Lin Quan, and they didn't even have time to commit a foul.

Lin Quan dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Smalling made a bold move and was easily passed by him.

Facing his national team teammate De Gea, Lin Quan boldly continued to lead forward. After entering the small penalty area, he calmly pushed the shot into the far corner.

De Gea, who doesn't like to attack, was completely passive in this encounter. Although he made a save, the angle of the ball was too tricky. De Gea failed to touch the ball and could not change the result of conceding the ball.

1:0.

Manchester City is temporarily ahead of Manchester United!

After scoring this goal, Lin Quan did not celebrate.

There is nothing to celebrate for such a goal. The opposite star bought a lot, but it felt a bit top-heavy.

Lin Quan feels that Van Gaal's tactics may not be suitable for Manchester United.

Although Lin Quan did not celebrate wildly, other Manchester City players may not give Manchester United face.

Captain Kompany ran to the sidelines and made a gesture to ask for applause from the audience.

The fans at the scene gave them applause and cheers to show their dignity, but more than 40,000 Red Devils fans collectively booed.

They can't stand the sight of Manchester City people celebrating on the field!

They began to shout the names of the Red Devils players on the field, hoping that these people would step up, equalize the score, and lead the team to victory.

Manchester United has a large number of top stars in the team, including Robin van Persie, Rooney, Mata, Falcao, Di Maria...

With so many people, is it really impossible to score a goal?

impossible!

Encouraged by the fans at the scene, Manchester United's players launched a more violent attack.

Especially the little tiger Falcao, he tried his best to score goals to prove himself.

No matter what kind of Champions League champion he is, the little tiger is not afraid of anything when he gets angry!

However, Manchester United's offense only looks powerful. In fact, their frontcourt cooperation is very chaotic.

With so many stars stacked on the court, how to distribute the ball and who will be the main attacker and who will be the green leaf are all problems.

Before Van Gaal completely arranged these things, Manchester United did not play like a team, but like a piece of loose sand.

Taking advantage of Manchester United's crazy attack, Manchester City launched quick counterattacks one after another.

In the 44th minute, Manchester City scored again.

De Bruyne's fatal through ball penetrated Manchester United's defense. Aguero successfully countered offside and went to the meeting alone to complete the goal.

Manchester City once again extended their lead before the end of the first half.

In the second half, the game changed sides and Manchester City played more and more calmly. On the contrary, Manchester United played more and more anxiously.

And the more anxious they are, the harder it is to score.

On the contrary, Manchester City was ready to stop and save energy for the Super Cup. However, the opponent made a mistake and gave them a big gift, and Manchester City had to accept it.

In the 76th minute, Manchester City took advantage of the Manchester United defender's error in returning the ball and further expanded the score.

Finally, at the end of the game, Manchester City defeated Manchester United with a score of 3:0.

Manchester United had 23 shots in this game, but failed to score a goal.

On the other hand, Manchester City, although they only completed 8 shots, scored 3 goals.

If De Gea hadn't made several key saves, the score might have been even more exaggerated.

The defeat in this game made everyone at Manchester United very frustrated.

Obviously the team has put a lot of effort into recruiting players and spent a lot of money.

Judging from the strength on paper, their lineup is not much different from Manchester City.

But why did he still lose so miserably?

Doesn’t it mean that you can become stronger by spending money?

Why do you feel that Manchester United has spent money but has not become stronger?

What exactly is the problem here?

For the first time, Red Devils fans had doubts about Jinyuan Football!

And just when they were doubting their lives, Manchester City had already left the United States and returned to Europe, preparing to participate in the next European Super Cup!

After the Triple Crown, there is another Six Crown winner!

For Premier League teams, there is even a chance to win seven crowns!

Manchester City has already won three championship trophies. Since they have the opportunity to win seven championships, they cannot let it pass!

Therefore, they are bound to win the Super Cup this time!
