Chapter 956: Leading Again
Compared to Evans and Smalling, Phil Jones is still much better, and for now, Phil Jones' performance is not comparable to Smalling and Evans. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just that Ferguson seems to prefer to put Phil Jones in the midfield position, so in this game, out of tactical arrangement, Ferguson put Phil Jones on the bench.
Phil Jones is a better fit to play with Rio Ferdinand, who has a wider range of movement due to his frequent role as a midfielder, and his defence is more reliable than Evans.
In fact, Phil Jones is very similar to Ferdinand when he was young, the young Ferdinand also has a large defensive area and outstanding defensive ability, but as he gets older, his physical fitness declines, and now he is no longer enough to support.
The game restarted, if the crazy celebration of the goal at the beginning still had the mind of the opponent, then, so far in the game, the two sides have no such careful thoughts.
In the case of a 2-2 draw, both sides now think about how to win this game, not the so-called keep the draw, which is a Manchester derby, where a draw is absolutely not allowed, only a win or a loss.
In the 70th minute, Manchester United also created a similar chance to Manchester City's goal, but unfortunately, Manchester United did not have such a presence as Li Feng in the team.
Falcao's powerful shot from Kompany was blocked by Joe Hart and the ball bounced back into the City penalty area, and Ashley Young followed up to be unpretentious, but Zabaleta blocked the way to shoot.
At this point, Ashley Young should have opted for a pass, but he didn't, and the result was that the ball was blocked by a Manchester City defender.
A minute later, City created another good chance when Sergio Aguero cut across into the United penalty area after a shot from Sergio Aguero and Robin van Persie drew the defence.
However, the Manchester City striker didn't seem to have any goal luck today, and Sergio Aguero's shot went wide of the goal again and sent it directly to the opponent.
In the 75th minute, Manchester United played two and two, Rooney against Lescote, Falcao against Kompany, Rooney passed, Falcao held the ball and attacked the Manchester City penalty area, but was intercepted by the Manchester City captain.
The two played a spectacular battle of attack and defense on the penalty line, which lasted for about ten seconds, and finally Kompany ended up with a downed tackle.
However, at this time, it was useless for Falcao to break into the penalty area, and for such a long time, Manchester City's players had already returned to defense, so it was just that the individual attack and defense between the two were really exciting.
Coincidentally, Silva and Chris Smalling then had a one-on-one battle of attack and defence, but the result also ended in the victory of the defenders.
I have to say that the outcome of this contest is really a bit unexpected, you know, no matter from that aspect, Silva should be the winning side, but the final result ended with Smalling's clearance.
Subsequently, Manchester City finally got the first yellow card since the start of the game, a flying tackle from De Jong, Carrick carried the ball into the Manchester City half, and De Jong couldn't help but fly out of a tackle.
As a result, Carrick fell to the ground in pain and the two sides almost clashed again, although the two teams have scored a lot of goals at the moment and the attack is smoother than driving, but there are many conflicts.
After all, in the derby, the anger of the players on both sides was already great, Li Feng started, and then Boateng's injury, Silva and Rafael, and Evans retaliated against Van Persie, all of which were points of conflict.
It's just that Atkinson is very wary of this, as soon as there is a foul, he immediately runs over quickly, and stands between the two teams at the first time to block further contact with the players.
"Atkinson has done an almost perfect job of preventing the two teams from clashing" and even the commentators couldn't help but praise Atkinson.
Manchester United's team doctor was quick to enter the pitch at Atkinson's beckoning, and after a check-up and brief treatment, Carrick did not withdraw from the game.
On the other hand, De Jong's yellow card appeared to open City's yellow card account, and in the next five minutes, Manchester City received two more yellow cards, Kompany and Zabaleta.
Kompany's yellow card was on Falcao, and Zabaleta's was because he was pulled by Ashley Young when he was passing by.
After being pulled, Ashley Young immediately jumped up from the ground, and then rushed towards Zabaleta who pulled him with a look of anger, who naturally did not show weakness.
Ashley Young and Zabaleta had their heads on each other, and they seemed to say something about each other, and Yaya Toure, who was closest to them, rushed over as quickly as possible.
However, just as Yaya Toure reached for Ashley Young, Atkinson appeared in time and passed between Yaya Toure and Ashley Young, preventing Yaya Toure from separating Ashley Young and Zabaleta at the same time.
At this time, players from both sides also poured in, but it was clear that the situation had been brought under control by Atkinson, who pulled out a yellow card at Zabaleta and repeatedly warned the players on both sides in a stern tone.
However, just after Zabaleta's foul, City changed the score again, just 80 minutes into the game.
Relying on a corner kick opportunity, Li Feng once again shot a long shot in the big penalty area, I have to say that in this game, Li Feng really seemed to be abandoned by God.
With all his team-mates trying to get a shot on goal for him, and he saved me from having a chance to hit the back of the net, his long-range shot just couldn't find David De Gea.
Yaya Toure held the ball for Li Feng to draw attention to the United defenders, while Silva moved across the middle to protect him, with Robin van Persie pulling Rio Ferdinand to the left and Sergio Aguero running on the right to draw attention.
In the end, Silva returned the ball in the penalty area, Li Feng held the ball outside the penalty area, and even shot from a distance, in order to ensure the quality, Li Feng controlled the ball and made a slight adjustment before starting his foot.
However, De Gea seemed to be on the pole with Li Feng today, and his kick was a heavy artillery in an absolute dead end, but in the end it was unbelievably blocked by De Gea.
Even so, City took the initiative back to their injuries when Silva headed in a corner and Vincent Kompany fought for the first spot.
'Patrice Evra, Kompany's header hits Evra's on the goal line, the ball bounces back into the box, number 11, number 11, number 11, Van Persie.'
"goal~~~~ The goal was scored, Manchester City overtook it, in the 80th minute of the game, Van Persie, Evra blocked Kompany's header, but Van Persie's reaction was faster than the Manchester United defenders, and the supplementary shot in front of the goal, Manchester City regained the lead."
