From the man behind the football king to the football king

Manchester City also quickly created a threat.

Zabaleta moved forward again on the right to plan an attack. Sane got the ball and passed it into the penalty area. Aguero followed up and shot directly. But the angle of this shot was too positive and was directly blocked by De Gea.

Manchester United tried to launch a counterattack, but Manchester City fought hard in the frontcourt. As a result, Manchester United was unable to pass the ball through the midfielder and directly passed it forward. Otamendi got the ball ahead of Gundogan and headed the ball back to the midfielder.

Fernandinho moved to the left, and Yaya Toure passed the ball to De Bruyne. After the Belgian stopped the ball, he glanced ahead and shot a long shot, but it went well over the crossbar. .

Manchester City's frontcourt pressing and oppression made it difficult for Manchester United's offense to organize, but Manchester United's midfield and backfield defense also made it difficult for Manchester City to form effective transmission and penetration.

Especially on the two wings, Bruno and Gundogan always maintained a pressing situation, forcing the opponent to pass the ball more to the center.

Manchester City's central attack was aimed at Manchester United's double midfielders and hit the wall directly.

After hearing this, Rashford, Carrick, Gundogan and others were obviously a little surprised, but then they couldn't help laughing.

What if he is really sure?

………………

This was Mourinho's arrangement before the game. If it was a direct free kick from a closer distance, Bruno would of course take the kick. However, this kick was 32 meters away from the goal. It was a bit far away and it hit the goal directly. The rate is not high, but indirect free kicks have more chances. After all, Manchester United, with Maguire and Fellaini, has a very obvious height advantage.

"Fortunately, Yaya made a decisive foul just now." Arteta said with a wry smile.

Then, everyone saw that red laser marks did appear on Bruno's face.

Fellaini and Kante basically sit in their own half, or even within the 30-meter area. Coupled with the defense, Manchester United's entire midfield and backfield have always remained meticulous, leaving no gaps for Manchester City.

"This also shows the wisdom of this Manchester City midfielder."

Faria also figured out what Bruno meant, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Maybe he is sure. I remember that when he was in Udinese, he had a kick that exceeded 35 meters. The free kick from far away scored directly.”

Mourinho glanced at his assistant and then at Bruno on the court, feeling a little suspicious.

From a distance of 32 meters, a direct free kick, if he wants to say it is a sure score, it must be false. He even feels that the hit rate should be around 30 to 40%, which is already very high.

"Calm down, stay calm, don't get angry." Carrick, wearing the captain's armband, is more sensible.

"It's all over. I'm going to take a free throw. Pay attention to grabbing the second point." Bruno warned softly.

Even if Bruno has scored such a transcendent free kick before, it does not mean that he can score every time. After all, scoring a free kick from this distance really depends on luck.

But Manchester United also quickly made adjustments according to the situation on the field, actively responded by shrinking its defense, and patiently looked for opportunities to counterattack.

………………

When Bruno stood on the penalty spot, he looked directly at the opposite Manchester City goal.

………………

Although the referee gave a yellow card, it was better than letting Bruno rush over and form a three-on-three.

Guardiola and Arteta feel the same way. Thirty-two meters away from the goal, although the position is in the center, it is very difficult to score a direct free kick. Instead, an indirect free kick is more reliable.

This is a laser transmitter that is usually hung on a keychain. If it hits the eye directly, it may even cause the person to be unable to see anything for a short period of time. This is obviously a corner of the stands opposite. Manchester City fans are using this method to interfere with Bruno's free kick.

Referee Martin Atkinson immediately suspended the penalty kick and immediately reported the matter to the fourth official on the sidelines.

If we use a Chinese proverb, it means that as long as the hoe dances well, there is no city wall that cannot be dug down.

Manchester City excels in passing and controlling the ball, while Manchester United has an advantage in quick counterattacks.

Bruno quickly ran in from the left and suddenly made a dunk when receiving the pass from Carrick. He suddenly stopped and changed direction to rush towards the penalty area. Feiyaya Toure was tall, but not as flexible as Bruno, so he could only be decisive. He took a kick and tripped Bruno down with the ball.

Both teams played at a fast pace after the start, and each other's tactics were highly targeted.

After the opening, Manchester City took the lead in pressing and pressing in the midfield and frontcourt, using its overall advantage to try to seize the opportunity. This made Manchester United's opening attack strategy ineffective.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a glare, and immediately turned his head and reached out to block his eyes.

This is a competition between the top teams in the world, with a very high technical and tactical content.

Especially Maguire, he patted Bruno on the shoulder hard and walked away with a smile as if this is my good buddy.

If it were anyone else, he would have shouted out loud, but for Bruno, he always had an inexplicable trust.

After saying that, Bruno pulled up his jersey, wiped his eyes, and looked around carefully to make sure that there was nothing serious. Bruno breathed a sigh of relief.

Arteta nodded in agreement and said: "As long as we control the ball and slowly grind against them, I believe we will be able to create opportunities. They will not be able to make mistakes and expose flaws throughout the entire game."

"What is this kid thinking?" Mourinho said with some surprise when he saw Bruno walking near the penalty spot and seemed to be taking the free kick. "It's too far. At this time, he There should be a fight for the top in the penalty area.”

"Hey, referee, it's a laser pointer!" Carrick reacted immediately and shouted loudly.

"Are you okay?" Carrick, Rashford and others came over and asked with concern.

Especially the two wings, Bruno and Gundogan have very strong personal abilities. As long as the ball reaches their feet, they can create threats, as well as Carrick and Rashford in the center.

………………

This sudden change made everyone around him a little confused, but they soon realized the problem.

The Manchester City player threw the ball to Bruno. He placed it gently on the turf, stepped on the surrounding area, and then slowly counted the steps and stepped back, looking straight ahead.

But he still wanted to give it a try because he felt particularly good tonight.

As for the frontcourt offense, it relies on Bruno, Rashford, Gundogan and Carrick.

Although Manchester City seems to have a certain degree of initiative on the scene, it is more brought about by possession of the ball and a truly threatening attack. On the contrary, Manchester United will have more, and almost every counterattack they make can make people's hearts beat.

Yes, trust, trust with a little dependence.

And when the game time jumped to ten minutes, and both sides deliberately slowed down their offense after the fast-paced opening attack and defense, Manchester United planned an attack in the frontcourt.

"MD, if you want me to know who it is, I will tear him apart!" Fellaini cursed angrily.

This kind of behavior is not only shameful, but also illegal. The British government and the Football Association of England have expressly stipulated that such behavior that disrupts players in the stadium is prohibited. In serious cases, hefty fines may even be imposed.

In recent years, with the rise of Manchester City, Manchester Derby has become more and more popular. Especially after the crazy signings of the two teams last summer, the Manchester City Derby has become the number one derby in the world in the eyes of many people. There are too many superstars here, there are two of the top coaches in the world, there are enough topics, and the popularity of Manchester City Derby is beyond any period in history.

Bruno stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, and kept nodding his head: "Michael is right, you will fall into a trap if you get angry."

"Manchester United's free kick is 32 meters away from the goal. It should be said that there is no possibility of creating a threat, so Manchester City's focus is still to pay attention to the opponent's free kick cooperation."

Fans are always interfering with opposing players in various ways. For example, Manchester City fans used laser pointers to interfere with Bruno just now. This is actually a desperate and illegal act. But from another perspective, this is also a manifestation of their fear of Bruno.

"I think Zabaleta's side should not press forward. Whether it's Kompany, Otamendi or Fernandinho, they can't stop Bruno in terms of speed and flexibility. Zabaleta pressed forward and there was too much space behind him. "

This is Cruyff's ball control concept, control your own ball and let the opponent control the ball without it.

He knows very well that if Bruno breaks through, there will be three-on-three behind him. With the personal abilities of Bruno, Rashford and Gundogan, God knows what will happen?

"Yaya Toure's foul was very smart. If Bruno really rushed over, the defense would be very dangerous."

The tempo of the game was fast, the ball changed hands back and forth, and surprising scenes appeared from time to time. Both the fans at the scene and the audience in front of the TV were fascinated to watch.

In recent years, he has been practicing hard, and his free kick skills have continued to improve, so much so that some people say that he can take free kicks as penalty kicks. This is of course an exaggeration, but it also shows that his free kick skills are improving. Fans approve.

………………

………………

Therefore, Guardiola quickly walked to the sidelines and signaled the players to set up a wall. The tall players should stay near the penalty area and mark Manchester United's tall players, such as Maguire, Fellaini and Rashford. Everyone has pretty good header ability and has to be defended.

Be sure, he really has something.

Manchester United players ran to the outside of the penalty area to ambush. Referee Atkinson also came over to ask Bruno. After confirming that there was no serious problem, he notified Manchester City captain Kompany and said that he would write the matter into the game report before starting preparations. penalty.

When Bruno stood in front of the penalty spot again, there were overwhelming boos.
