Chapter 48: A Draw
Chapter 48 Draw
De Bruyne !!!!!!
At Old Trafford, a Manchester United fan haunt, the commentators in the commentary box stood up and chanted.
On the pitch at this time, the Manchester City players were celebrating wildly.
Old Trafford was a bit quiet at this time, and the fans watched the situation on the pitch with some unacceptable difficulty.
For Manchester United fans, losing at home to a bitter rival is indeed a difficult thing to accept.
On the big screen in the stadium, it is clearly displayed that the score is now Manchester United 1-2 Manchester City!
Tournament time....... Eighty-seven minutes!!
"It's a !! to be a stunner"
"Time is running out for Manchester United!!"
Across Manchester, red Manchester United fans clutched their heads in pain, while blue Manchester City fans thundered with joy.
To be able to beat a bitter rival away from home is a great thing for Manchester City.
This night, the beer in Manchester's pub was doomed to sell out.
If it had ended with this scoreline, the Manchester City fans would have been in for a lot of celebration, and the United fans would have just needed to soothe their wounded souls with alcohol.
Pep Guardiola was unusually excited on the sidelines as his side beat the defending champions, beating the... Li Qingshan!!
However, victory is not safe now, and at such times, Guardiola will also have to learn from his old rival Mourinho and be conservative.
He immediately called Fernando and Zabaleta to the sidelines. Pep Guardiola is ready to bring on two defenders in one go.
For Manchester City's new boss Pep Guardiola, this victory can be described as significant!
Ancelotti roared angrily on the sidelines.
The centre-back duo of Marcos Rojo and Eric Bailly has just been cleaned up by Manchester City. De Bruyne received a pass from David Silva and then fired a shot into the far corner from the left side of the box, but De Gea could do nothing about it.
Ancelotti rubbed her temples irritably.
His team was really bad in this game. Especially the defensive performance at the back and at the back.
Pogba conceded early in the first half, Pogba was exhausted, and Pogba's contribution to the defense in this game was too little, and there was a missing link on the back line, which led to greater defensive pressure on Manchester United, which also impressed Manchester United's offensive performance.
Fortunately, near the end of the first half, Li Qing pulled a goal back with a header.
But near the end of the game, the opponent scored another goal.
How this does not annoy Ancelotti. In order to prepare for this game, Ancelotti has not had time to think about the Champions League in three days!
Ancelotti's anger didn't help either, as he had already thrown all three substitutions out.
Zabaleta and Fernando came on as they replaced two strikers, Raheem Sterling and Heheanacho, leaving Pep Guardiola with another striker, Nolito.
Manchester City are going to hold on to the rhythm in the last minute.
To be able to beat defending champions Manchester United, and at the home of a sworn rival, is an achievement that excites City's players just by thinking about it.
Manchester United fans rose from their seats, chanting slogans and singing to cheer on the team.
Li Qingshan is also encouraging his teammates.
There's still time!! We still have time!!
Li Qingshan stepped on the ball under his feet and waved his fists to boost the morale of the whole team.
'There's not much time left for the game and Manchester United need to hurry.' So says the narrator.
Game time was running out, and when the game resumed, United immediately pressed aggressively.
Li Qingshan first passed the ball to Pogba, and then rushed forward himself.
After Pogba got the ball, he wanted to bring it himself, but Li Qingshan was about to explode when he saw Pogba's move.
Paul !! What the are you doing!! We don't have the fucking time!!! ”
Li Qingshan yelled at Pogba.
Pogba was taken aback by Li Qingshan's hideous face. In general, Li Qingshan is usually a very kind and easy person to get along with, and Pogba has never seen Li Qingshan so angry.
Frightened by Li Qingshan, Pogba hurriedly passed the ball to Herrera.
"You go up too, Paul!! Go to the front!! ”
Li Qingshan stepped back from Pogba, and then ran forward.
Pogba did not dare to disobey Li Qingshan's order, and he also ran into the Manchester City penalty area.
Manchester United played a long pass in the final stage, and under Li Qingshan's strong aerial ability, Manchester City's penalty area was in turmoil for a while.
Pep Guardiola's two substitutions still worked, in addition to delaying the time, adding two defenders also greatly suppressed Manchester United's attack - at least Li Qingshan's two consecutive headers were wide of the goal.
Until the third minute of stoppage time, Ashley Young passed the ball on the left, this time Li Qingshan did not deviate, under the heavy defense of Manchester City, under the gaze of the fans at Old Trafford, Li Qingshan put the ball into the goal of Bravo's handle!
And just after this goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game!
Whistle Absolutely Flat!!
With Li Qingshan's goal in the final stage, Manchester United finally avoided the end of losing at home to their local rivals, but the draw at home still left the fans unhappy.
At least Carlo Ancelotti kept a gloomy face in his post-match press conference.
"Today's game was very difficult for both sides, most of my players are about to face such a tough battle after playing for the national team, which is a very tough test for the players' physical fitness. And I don't know how the FA thinks about it, I don't have time to think about it right now, so why do we have to have such a focused derby three days before our away European game? Some people don't care, maybe how the Premier League teams do in Europe doesn't matter to these people at all, I know some people in this country don't care about European results!! ”
In his post-match press conference, Carlo Ancelotti lashed out at the schedule.
'It's a shame we didn't win at Old Trafford, we were just a minute away from winning! This shows that my team is not mature enough and we will continue to improve on this in the future. Pep Guardiola didn't have much to say about the fixtures, after all, Manchester City didn't have to play in the Champions League this season, they played in the Europa League, and the Europa League was scheduled for the last two days of the Champions League matchday, so they had more time to rest.
Manchester United, for their part, have no time to rest, and after a draw at home, they are about to fly to Belgium for their next Champions League group stage first round game!
