Chapter 741 Is this going to be the replacement of the old with the new?
Rashford scored the first goal in the seventh minute.
Manchester United leads 1-0.
This made the Manchester City players playing at home feel a little bad.
I didn't expect to concede the ball so early.
But what they didn't expect was yet to come.
After Manchester City lost the ball, they attacked fiercely, and Manchester United was pinned in the half for a long time.
But as long as you give them a chance, they can create miracles.
Especially now Manchester United is so fast.
The front three are all extremely fast players, as well as Xia Xing, a hexagonal warrior.
This does not include the impact of the two full-backs Luke Shaw and Wan-Bissaka.
Once such an attack group strikes back, it will be quite threatening.
Manchester City couldn't attack for a long time, and Manchester United's offense went up again.
In the 22nd minute of the game, when De Bruyne's pass was cleared by Maguire with a header, Manchester United's counterattack began.
In fact, De Bruyne passed the ball very accurately this time, but Sterling missed it.
Facing the strong Maguire, Sterling wanted to shoot a volley, but it was too difficult and he eventually kicked the ball in the air and lost the ball.
At this time, Maguire did not hesitate and kicked the ball forward!
Looking for Xia Xing!
Find their captain!
At this moment of counterattack, Xia Xing is definitely the backbone!
When the Manchester City defense saw this, their hearts were bleeding.
It’s too difficult, it’s too difficult to defend.
Xia Xing had always played in the middle at Manchester United, near the center or further behind.
Even after receiving the ball, there is still time to pass or adjust.
But now, Xia Xing's position has improved, making it more difficult for defensive players to deal with.
Xia Xing has received such long passes several times in this game, and his defense is also very simple.
Jump to grab a header, or control the ball with your back.
As of now, his success rate in physical confrontation is 100%!
Under Xia Xing's strong body, no defensive player can be too lazy to stop him!
Even Otamendi rushed to help defend, but nothing worked!
In the frontcourt, Xia Xing is the only threat!
And when he stopped the ball, it was the scariest moment for Manchester City's defensive players.
Turn around and accelerate, taking down any opponent in one move!
Then whether he is passing the ball or taking a kick himself, he is very threatening.
At this time, he received Maguire's long pass, once again squeezed his opponent with his back, took the ball and turned around, all in one go.
Looking at the frontcourt, his teammates have already started to move.
Without hesitation, hit it straight!
Pass the ball towards the right side of the penalty area!
At this moment, on the side of Manchester City's penalty area, a cross-position change has just been completed.
James and Greenwood moved towards each other, causing Manchester City's defense to become loose and chaotic.
It was at this moment that Xia Xing's pass was just right!
The ball goes straight to Greenwood!
Greenwood took advantage of the situation and wiped out Laporte who was rushing forward!
A volley with great power and speed!
The ball went straight into the far corner of the goal!
The ball went in!
2 is better than 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Excited Greenwood rushed to Xia Xing and hugged the captain tightly!
Xia Xing is also all smiles!
With two goals in hand, this game is safe!
At this moment, Guardiola's face looked ugly on the sidelines of the court.
What was thought to be a close contest turned out to be Manchester United scoring two goals in a row.
Judging from the overall scene, the offense and defense of both sides are similar, and the absolute opportunities created are also similar.
But it was Manchester United who took the lead in seizing the opportunity. There is a big gap.
All three of Manchester City's forwards were in poor form today.
Center Aguero has just returned from injury and is still looking for form.
Mahrez on the right made a sharp breakthrough and made several good shots, but he missed the goal.
Sterling scored a hat trick in the last game and was in hot form, but today he returned to the same hazy and bad feeling before, especially his shot, which was weak and terrible.
In sharp contrast to him are Rashford and Greenwood.
The three types are somewhat similar, they are all young people with fast speed and good dribbling.
However, compared to Sterling, Rashford and Greenwood's shooting skills today are obviously more superb.
The two scored a goal each, and this was just the beginning.
In the 42nd minute of the game, Manchester United's attack from the left started again.
It was still Luke Shaw who performed well in this game. He got a chance again and sprinted forward with the ball!
Mahrez's shot was blocked by Maguire and fell to Luke Shaw.
Now most of Manchester City's midfielders are near the Manchester United penalty area, and their backcourt is empty!
Luke Shaw sprinted with the ball, but Gundogan behind him failed to catch up with him!
Facing Kyle Walker, Luke Shaw knocked Xia Xing horizontally and then continued to sprint forward!
An obvious one-two move!
This is how the first goal was scored just now!
And now, is it going to happen again?
Manchester City's defense tilted towards the wings to prevent the movement of Luke Shaw and Rashford.
The defense in the middle was also keeping an eye on Greenwood and James, and at this time De Bruyne and David Silva quickly retreated to completely lock Xia Xing.
At least make him less likely to shoot hard!
But they were still a step slow.
Even though he was about 37 meters away from the goal, Xia Xing still shot without hesitation!
With the frontline trident tightly defended by his opponent, Xia Xing blasted the goal with a heavy kick!
Go straight to the upper right corner of the goal!
This time Edson made a contribution!
Because Xia Xing's kicking distance was far away and there was not much room for passing the ball, Ederson anticipated Xia Xing's pass.
The ball came and he jumped decisively!
His temper was rubbed with his fingertips, hit the pillar, and bounced out!
But before the Manchester City fans had time to be happy, Greenwood quickly followed up and took a tackle!
The ball hit the net!
3 is better than 0!
Manchester United scores another goal!
Excited Greenwood rushes to Xia Xing again!
"Captain, I made a mistake!"
"Man, this is an opportunity created by your alertness and diligence, not a missed opportunity, haha!"
The excitement of the Manchester United fans continued until the end of the first half.
Leading 3-0 at half-time at the Etihad Stadium was fantastic.
Just when the Manchester City soldiers were preparing to take the lead in one go in the second half, they didn't expect that just after the second half started, Manchester United scored again!
This time, Xia Xing retreated and sent a long pass!
Accurately found James who was advancing from the right!
The super-fast James rushed over, caught the ball, stopped the ball, adjusted, and passed!
All in one go!
Greenwood feinted in the middle, and Rashford pushed the ball into the net from behind!
4 is better than 0!
Manchester United continues to expand its lead!
Alan Shearer in the live broadcast room kept praising!
"Killing crazy!
"It's just crazy!
“I thought it was a close contest.
“But I didn’t expect it to be a one-sided massacre!
"The England national team's main striker Sterling has no results.
"Little brothers Rashford and Greenwood both scored twice!
"Sterling is in decline, and the newcomers are strong.
"Is the England national team about to change from old to new?" (End of chapter)
