Stroman raised his head, and the sweat on his forehead immediately seeped into his eyes, sour.

The lights at Old Trafford were so dazzling that he couldn't help but squint.

With his mouth open, he gasped for air, and the Dutch felt as if his chest was burning, and there was a feeling that he could not breathe, that a fire was about to erupt.

The game has reached the 70th minute, and the score is 1-1!

Before the game, someone said that this game would be the last Manchester derby of Ferguson's career, and it would also be Mancini's last derby, so the two famous coaches have shown their ability to press the bottom of the box, just to prove their coaching ability to everyone!

Manchester City relied on a strong lineup, mainly anti-guest, suppressed the city's sworn rival Manchester United from the beginning, and firmly controlled the midfield.

On the other hand, Manchester United, playing at home, the Red Devils are not conservative at all, and they have an offensive battle with Manchester City, and there is a great momentum of invincibility, just to be able to cut down the sworn enemy and continue to maintain their league lead.

Both goals from both sides came in the second half.

Manchester City were the first to be set up by Nasri for James Milner to find the back of the net for Manchester United.

However, United then capitalised on a set-piece on the right side of the penalty area for Van Persie to take the back post and Phil Jones headed at Kompany's back and into Joe Hart's goal.

This is also Manchester United's second consecutive league goal to win an own goal!

Although many people feel that the quality of Manchester United's players is not outstanding, this team is too resilient.

Only when you really walk into this stadium and have a real fight with the Red Devils and Manchester United can you deeply understand the real scary things about this Red Devils.

Maybe it's not as good as others, maybe the scene is very passive, but they will never give up!

Relying on this Red Devils spirit, Manchester United, who was at a disadvantage, dragged Manchester City hard.

Time passed minute by minute, and the intense consumption made everyone on the court look very tired.

There was no way for the two sides to maintain the fast-paced offensive and defensive battles that they had at the beginning of the first and second halves.

They had to settle down and slowly try to figure out their opponents.

Stroman stretched out his hands and wiped his head and face vigorously, both wet and dripping.

That's sweat!

Manchester City's consumption is so staggering, and Manchester United certainly don't get much better because they are more passive on the pitch.

Also, they have an older starting lineup.

Thirty-two-year-old Evra and Carrick, thirty-four-year-old Rio Ferdinand, and thirty-nine-year-old Ryan Giggs!

It's hard to imagine how much physical energy these veterans can still have and how much energy they can run!

Especially Ryan Giggs and Carrick, who are both midfielders!

In fact, City's first goal just now came from a mistake by Ryan Giggs.

The Manchester United veteran was unexpectedly deployed in the right midfield position in this game, opposite Stroman.

It was on one occasion when Giggs pulled to the side to get the ball that Stroman decisively followed up and marked the ball closely.

The cunning Welshman wanted to knock the ball with a heel and hit the ball on Stroman to bounce off the bottom line, and when he earned a throw-in, Stroman was no less stupid, and after breaking the ball, he rushed forward with the ball himself.

Rushing to the edge of the penalty area, he crossed to Nasri, who dribbled into the box and suddenly knocked back.

Milner stopped the ball on the edge of the box and volleyed hard past David De Gea!

Thinking back to the goal just now, Stroman couldn't help but realize a crucial point.

Up front, David Silva always slotted diagonally from the centre to the left, into the penalty area, seizing the gap between Manchester United's right-back Rafael and Rio Ferdinand, while left winger Nasri roamed between the defence and the midfield, cutting more inward.

In doing so, Stroman gets a decent amount of space to move around on the left flank.

If you are more decisive and resolute in attacking in this situation, can you create a threat?

As soon as this thought came to Stroman's mind, he immediately felt that there was a lot to be done.

But he had to look to the sidelines, and manager Roberto Mancini noticed him, and the two had eye contact, with Stroman making a gesture forward, but Mancini didn't seem to understand.

This makes the Dutch feel very depressed, too lacking in tacit understanding, is there?

If it had been Bielsa and he had taken a look, the Argentine madman would have guessed it.

Clever people!

As a last resort, Stroman could only make a more pronounced gesture.

Mancini understood, but did not give an answer on the spot, but called the assistant coach, discussed it carefully, and after more than a minute, he seized an opportunity and made an OK gesture towards Stroman.

This made Stroman feel depressed again.

Compared to Bielsa's decision, Mancini is somewhat indecisive!

When he thinks of Bielsa, Stroman can't help but think of Southampton, of Young Master Huan, and of those teammates.

Although he has left Southampton, he still misses his time in Southampton.

Without Southampton, there would be no Kevin Stroman!

In any case, we have to beat Manchester United!

Stroman gritted his teeth and secretly decided.

The situation was as Stroman had predicted, and City were once again pressed into the 30-metre zone of Manchester United.

Yaya Toure controlled the ball at his feet, while Nasri and David Silva both caught the attention of the United defenders.

Stroman initially only played on Yaya Toure and saw that Ryan Giggs was a little frustrated after a series of runs and moved closer to the left, so the Welshman suddenly rushed forward when he was not closely watched.

This move by the Dutchman immediately upset United's defence.

Especially when Yaya Toure understood and passed the ball to Stroman, the Dutchman stopped and shook off Carrick, and the entire United defence was attracted to Stroman, and everyone was surprised.

Stop him!

This should be the first reaction of all Manchester United defenders under conditioning!

But Stroman saw an opportunity, found a gap in the defense, picked up his left foot, and when he was still twenty meters away from the goal, he pulled his leg and shot directly!

Stroman's long-range shot was like a shock, and the angle was very good, just past the out-of-position Phil Jones and straight towards the goal.

De Gea was quick to react and made a flying save.

The Spanish goalkeeper is tall and long-handed, and his body is very stretched, and when everyone is stunned, he blocked the ball with one hand, which can be resolved into an inevitable goal!

Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans at Old Trafford let out an exclamation in unison, obviously startled by Stroman's shot, but before they could breathe a sigh of relief, they found that Aguero, who was a little ghost, didn't know when, was ambushed in the big penalty area.

De Gea pounced on the ball and the ball bounced back into the box, and Aguero ghostly circled it, met the falling ball, and nudged it gently.

De Gea, who had just landed, could no longer stop the ball.

The rest of Manchester United's defenders could only stare at Aqua.

The ball crossed the white line of the goal and hit the net!

“goalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll！！！！！！”

Aguero excitedly opened his arms, his mouth open enough to fit into a fist, rushed out of the penalty area, rushed to the corner flagpole, and celebrated his goal in oblivion.

Stroman was stunned for a moment, and then a wave of ecstasy welled up in his heart.

Although he failed to score, Aguero's goal could also help Manchester City beat Manchester United!

So, the Dutch also rushed out excitedly with Aguero, and the whole person hugged the Argentine Shenfeng tightly!

The Old Trafford stadium was as silent as death, so quiet that only the cheers and celebrations of Manchester City's players remained!

On the sidelines, in front of the home team's dugout, Ferguson froze the moment Aguero scored.

Then came the wrath, the wrath of thunder.

Ferguson was seen raising his hands and shouting at the Manchester United players in the stadium.

"Why did you concede a goal? What the hell are you guys doing? ”

"Can you lose this kind of ball?"

Everyone could feel Ferguson's wrath at this moment.

Yes, I finally relied on an own goal to tie the score, but now in a blink of an eye, I lost it again.

What is this?

God, are you playing with me?

It's not just three points!

If this defeat to Manchester City and Southampton win again, the gap will be reduced to five points.

With six rounds left in the league, the five-point gap is undoubtedly very dangerous.

What's more, Manchester United has dropped points in recent rounds, how can it be reassuring?

Ferguson realised something was wrong, especially with the players on the pitch, who were clearly exhausted.

"Mike!" Ferguson realized the problem and immediately turned around and shouted.

Mike Phelan immediately caught up, "Sir! ”

"Quick, let Shinji Kagawa and Cleverley warm up, I want them to play in three minutes!"

"Good!" Mike Phelan turned and walked away.

"Wait!" Ferguson thought of something again, "Let Welbeck warm up again, and he will go too!" ”

Mike Phelan was a little surprised, this is going to be three substitutes in one go?

And judging from Ferguson's substitutions, all three substitutions are aimed at strengthening the team's attack.

But Mike Phelan was so scared of Ferguson that he didn't dare to ask more, so he ran to the bench and shouted.

Mancini also noticed the movement on United's side and he made immediate adjustments.

After Alex Ferguson made three substitutions, City also made substitutions.

First, Gareth Barry replaced David Silva to further strengthen the team's midfield.

Then he replaced Nasri with Lescott and continued to strengthen the team's defence.

After those two substitutions, the clock was already 80 minutes.

In the remaining ten minutes, Manchester United changed its previous passivity and began to press hard, pressing Manchester City.

Manchester City, which is playing away, looks like they are sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai and has begun to fight a defensive counterattack.

This made Ferguson, who was in front of the home team's coach's box, so angry that he almost vomited blood.

Especially as the game time passed, minute by minute, Ferguson was so anxious that he kept shouting on the sidelines, constantly making adjustments, asking the players to continue to put pressure on Manchester City's defense.

Even if it's a goal, it's good!

After all, at this critical moment of winning the championship, a one-point gap may undoubtedly determine the ownership of the championship!

However, Manchester United was tired for a long time, and was beaten passively for a long time before the game, but now they have taken the initiative, their physical energy is almost exhausted, and the players are also strict and lack of morale, and finally failed to turn the situation around and threaten Manchester City's goal.

With the whistle of referee Michael Dean, the final Manchester derby between Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini finally came to an end.

With crucial goals from James Milner and Sergio Aguero, Manchester City beat Manchester United away to take three points and further cement their third place in the league.

Ferguson, on the other hand, covered his face with his hands at the moment of the whistle.

He felt shameless to face this crowd of fans at Old Trafford.

At the same time, he also prayed in his heart that Southampton would lose points!
