Chapter 838 Manchester Derby is just that!
"Explosive Premier League opener!"
This was the headline quoted by almost all media after the end of this round of the league.
These are the words of Alan Shearer, and they also represent the aspirations of everyone.
It exploded, it exploded.
In this round, many wealthy families showed their swords.
Chelsea beat Crystal Palace 3-0.
Liverpool beat Norwich 3-0.
Both teams won easily.
But some teams are not so lucky.
For example, Arsenal was defeated by Brentford 2-0, lost the first game, and played very badly.
And Manchester City, who were defeated 1-0 by Tottenham, also lost the chance to win their first victory.
Tottenham's new coach Nuno's formation was very effective, using a group of children to defend Manchester City's attack line of more than 200 million.
In the end, Son Heung-min's winning goal completely defeated Manchester City.
The defeat dealt a heavy blow to the defending champion.
Next, they will face a bigger dilemma, which is to play Manchester United.
The FA's schedule this season is very interesting. For Manchester United, the start is the peak.
In the first three rounds, their opponents were Leeds United, Manchester City and Liverpool.
All the derbies, put together.
No wonder, after all, Cristiano Ronaldo is here, the traffic of the Premier League has increased again, giving Manchester United more powerful dialogue, and completely maximizing the program effect.
Manchester United swept Leeds United 8-0 in the first game, making that game the most explosive start to the Premier League.
Over the past decade, the Premier League has never seemed to get off to such a dramatic start.
Even if we go back ten years, there would be no such thing.
A week later, Manchester United visited the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City.
On the evening of August 8st, the Etihad was bustling with people.
Last season's Premier League champions came back strong and they are looking forward to regaining face with Manchester United.
The loss to Tottenham in the last game put a lot of pressure on Guardiola.
Now, he desperately needs a victory to restore morale.
Facing Manchester United, he lined up a young attacking group.
The front three is Grealish, Ferran Torres and Jesus.
Gundogan and Seat B are in the midfield, and young Rodri is in the middle.
The back four of Cancelo, Laporte, Ruben Dias and Kyle Walker,
The goalkeeper is still the steady Ederson.
Even on the bench, there are powerful stars like Sterling, Mahrez, Foden and Fernandinho.
Now Manchester City can completely compile two sets of 11-man rosters that can compete for the Premier League championship.
This is the advantage of local tyrants.
Compared to Manchester City, Manchester United has also made some adjustments.
Still 4-2-3-1 formation,
Goalkeeper De Gea,
The back four of Luke Shaw, Varane, Maguire and Dalot,
Double defensive midfielder Matic and B Fee,
Three attacking midfielders: Rashford, Xia Xing and Greenwood.
Center Ronaldo.
Compared with the last game, Manchester United only changed three people.
Dalot replaced Wan-Bissaka who was feeling unwell.
Fee B started, taking Fred's place.
Greenwood replaced Sancho in the starting lineup.
This is basically due to considering the players' physical fitness. It is obvious that Solskjaer is still very satisfied with the starting lineup.
With the advantage of home court, Manchester City launched a fierce attack on Manchester United's penalty area at the beginning!
The 25-year-old Grealish sprinted with the ball on the left wing. He is in excellent condition today!

Next, Gundogan and Seat B also frequently made wonderful assists in the midfield, feeding the Trident in the penalty area.
De Gea caught the ball high and blocked low, Varane and Maguire fought hard to steal the ball and keep the goal.
The first 20 minutes were almost all Manchester City's attack.
But there is something special about Manchester United now.
They may be silent for a while, but with just one spark, they can instantly ignite the whole place.
In the 23rd minute of the game, the pass from seat B was intercepted by Fee B.
The two Portuguese stars are too familiar with each other, so it is not surprising that they stole the ball this time.
B Fei played as a deep midfielder in this game, and his full-court running defense was very active.
After stealing the ball this time, he made a decisive long pass from the backcourt!
Accurate long passes are also his characteristic!
The ball goes straight to the frontcourt!
Find Ronaldo!
As the big brother of the national team, Ronaldo will naturally not miss this good opportunity!
Received the ball in the frontcourt and suddenly accelerated to pass!
Ruben Dias, who is also a junior in the national team, was passed by Ronaldo's sudden attack!
Kick off and volley!

The ball went in!

Manchester United's first shot of the game hit the goal frame and successfully entered the net!
With a ball in hand, Manchester United will be more at ease next.
Facing Manchester City's delicate foot skills, they took their time and defended steadily.
Especially during the opening period, Xia Xing has been assisting in defense and stabilizing the defense line.
At the same time, I am also waiting for opportunities.
In the 39th minute of the game, his chance finally came.
Xia Xing steals the ball in the backcourt, hits the right side, and then sprints quickly!
Dalot kept passing the ball back, and the ball returned to Xia Xing's feet again!
Short pass again, speed up!

Xia Xing took two steps and struck again!
The ball is handed to Ronaldo in the penalty area!
This time, Cristiano Ronaldo did not choose to go it alone, but also pushed horizontally!
The ball fell to Xia Xing again!
Three consecutive two-for-ones, the cooperation is extremely exciting!
Xia Xing, who has now reached the restricted area, does not need any adjustments.
Facing Laporte's tackle, Xia Xing's shot was faster!
Shoot the lower right corner of the goal!
The ball is extremely fast!
Ederson fell to the ground to save, but it was still too late!
The ball rolled into the net!
2 is better than 0!

Wonderful!
With two goals in hand, Manchester United is completely at ease.
In the second half, the team changed sides and fought again. In the 66th minute of the game, Xia Xing made another free kick.
