Chapter 886: When Walking the Dog and Encountering Someone with a Big Move, Good Things Are About to Happen?
Chapter 886: When walking the dog and encountering someone with a big move, will something good happen?
Women's Day.
After Ye Yifeng got up in the morning, he made a loving breakfast for Tang Mo. Although she had already eaten breakfast and went back to sleep, she still enjoyed the fruits of Ye Yifeng's personal cooking.
Then post it on Moments to make others envious.
Everyone likes to show off flowers and expensive gifts.
At Ye Yifeng's level, nothing is more precious than putting your heart and soul into food.
I finally lived the innocent life I dreamed of as a child, without the need to use money to impress my lover.
Ye Yifeng arrived at the Carrington training base before noon and then carried out regular preparations for match days.
After noon the team headed to the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester derby, the battle for the top spot!
In the past two days, Carrick had been communicating with Ye Yifeng a lot after training.
The main purpose is to communicate with each other on tactical adjustments based on the problems that occurred in the last game against Chelsea.
Manchester United's midfielder is not afraid of being suppressed and will counterattack when suppressed.
But he is afraid of being restrained. If he is restrained, his condition will plummet, and then the striker will be left in front without any form.
It's nothing more than Ye Yifeng's choice between center and winger.
In terms of playing style, Carrick was unable to form a sect and devise a set of techniques and tactics that shocked everyone and shocked the football world.
Even though Ye Yifeng's technical and tactical qualities can be called a master level, after all, he has experienced everything from a free man to a classic attacking midfielder and all kinds of forwards every month.
But he didn't delve into being a coach.
He has tactical ideas for cooperating with his teammates, but he has no experience in designing an overall tactical framework.
So I don't have much say.
The most important thing is that the season is about to enter the final sprint stage.
Naturally, we cannot perform major surgery on the team at this time.
Definitely a taboo.
Can only be fine-tuned locally.
During the Mourinho era, Fred and Martial were experimented with playing center forward.
As for the effect, it may be fine today, but it may cause crotch loss tomorrow.
After all, Cardano is not a long-term option, but more of a role supplement.
Therefore, Ye Yifeng plays center more often this season, and his results are very impressive. The current 33 goals are even better than last season.
The average goal efficiency per game is also close to the level at his peak in La Liga.
What Carrick is afraid of is that the team will be stunned by the opponent's punch at the critical moment and fall short.
Therefore, how many goals Ye Yifeng can score is no longer the point.
The team needs to have more emergency measures, or to avoid the situation that happened in the last game against Chelsea.
So at the Etihad Stadium, Ye Yifeng returned to the left winger position.
Without the presence of fans, the atmosphere of the Manchester City derby and the Premier League's top spot would be quite deserted.
The entire Manchester City team looked serious, showing an invisible murderous intent.
As the defending champion, Manchester United certainly has to put up its sleeves.
The posture is full of confidence, even a little arrogant.
It's natural to be a bit arrogant and arrogant in front of your mortal enemy.
When the starting players of the two teams entered the field, Guardiola and Carrick looked serious on the sidelines, and neither of them was relaxed.
Guardiola led his team to chase points strongly, and the result of a wave of 15 consecutive victories was to overtake Manchester United. Now that the two teams meet, he does not want his previous efforts to be in vain.
Carrick made it easy before the game. At the end of the Manchester City derby, there will be no Premier League champion.
But he knows that if Manchester United loses this game, then Manchester City will most likely win the championship, because their lead will expand to 4 points!
There is no room for error in this showdown.
Even though the bottom line was that they could not lose, Carrick did not let the team switch to extreme counter-attacks and take out the legacy bus.
Sometimes no matter how difficult it is, you still have to grit your teeth and go on the path you have chosen!
"Good afternoon, viewers, and welcome to the Manchester City Derby, which will be played at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester in the 27th round of the 2020-2021 Premier League season. It is also the top battle of the Premier League!
Manchester United's top spot was overtaken by Manchester City in the last round. There is a high probability that the championship this season will be born between Manchester City and Manchester United. Therefore, the direct dialogue between the two teams will have a direct impact on the championship.
In the first half of the league, Manchester United defeated Manchester City at home with Ye Yifeng's winning goal. However, in the past three months, Manchester City has not only been undefeated in the league, they have won 15 consecutive victories.
It can be said that the record is terrible and the momentum is also amazing.
Manchester City started at home today with 433.
Goalkeeper: Ederson.
Defenders: Cancelo, Stones, Dias, Zinchenko.
Midfielder: De Bruyne, Rodri, Gundogan.
Forwards: Mahrez, Jesus, Sterling.
Manchester United's starting number was also 433.
Goalkeeper: Henderson.
Defenders: Wan-Bissaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Luke Shaw.
Midfielder: McTominay, B Fee, Fred.
Forwards: James, Cavani, Ye Yifeng.
De Gea was temporarily absent due to personal reasons, and Carrick expressed his expectations and trust in Dean Henderson.
Let's see how he performs today.
Okay, the game is about to start. After 90 minutes of the game, can Manchester City still sit at the top of the list?
Or will they win 16 games in a row?
let us wait and see. "
Manchester United's starting lineup made Guardiola look solemn.
It has nothing to do with De Gea's absence, that was confirmed yesterday.
It was Cavani's start that allowed Ye Yifeng to return to the winger position.
He signaled to the midfielders before kick-off.
Adjust it.
Rodri was originally a single defensive midfielder, but now it is a double defensive midfielder, with De Bruyne playing as an attacking midfielder.
The whistle blows, the battle begins!
Manchester City resorted to the ancestral dog-walking style after the opening. The midfielder and the back line passed back and forth, and the wingers also passed back to find teammates who were in safe positions.
Manchester United did not play Pogba today, not only because the opponent was Manchester City and the midfielder could not beat the opponent, but also because Cavani was on the field, which meant that other players needed to devote more energy to defense.
At the critical moment, Carrick did not trust the two British stars and Martial. He did not ask James to shine on the front line, but he needed him to contribute more on the defensive end.
Ye Yifeng watched Manchester City walking their dog in the midfield. This scene looked very familiar.
It seems that this is what Manchester City did in the first half of the league.
Don't want to win?
I don’t know, but maybe Manchester City have perfected their dog-walking tactics now?
Manchester United's striker retreated and joined forces with the midfielder to counterattack.
The counterattack also stopped in the midfield, and Manchester City passed the ball back to the back line.
Then Manchester United's striker looked at them, stopped attacking, and pressed the midfielder defensively.
Let's see what Manchester City are trying to do.
Carrick was worried, but there was no trace of it on the outside.
Maybe if it were him, he would also hope to use field control to ensure an invincible position.
But after all, Manchester City is not the Barcelona at its peak.
It's not easy to control Manchester United all the way to death.
Seeing Manchester United's attitude, De Bruyne knew that he might not be able to enjoy the effect of passing and controlling at home today.
So he took the initiative to retreat and cooperate with Gundogan against the wall. Then he made a precise mid-to-long pass and sent the ball to the left side of the front court.
Sterling broke into the ball alone and successfully beat Wan-Bissaka, but he only made a pass from the bottom.
Jesus outflanked the defense in front of the goal, but Henderson unexpectedly attacked decisively and cleared the ball first.
The camera showed a close-up of Henderson's expression. It is very curious whether the young player can withstand the pressure today.
Manchester City controlled the ball in the frontcourt. De Bruyne received Pedri's pass and then sent a diagonal pass to the ground, which was extremely accurate.
Mahrez cut in and changed the direction of the ball to get rid of Luke Shaw and then decisively kicked the ball towards the goal.
Footballs flew straight into the empty stands.
It was Manchester United's turn to start organizing the offensive. Manchester United slowly advanced from the backcourt. They also needed to observe Manchester City's defensive posture and tactics.
It is obvious that Manchester City did not press and counterattack to the extreme, and the striker withdrew to the edge of the dangerous area.
Guardiola is also afraid of being taken away from the defense by Manchester United's wave of fast breaks.
The superior defense of 400 million and 500 million is much better than in the past few seasons. People have given Dias a lot of praise, but this is not enough to give Manchester City the confidence to counterattack Manchester United's vast space.
I have suffered too much and suffered too many injuries. Finally, the scars are healed and the pain is remembered.
Manchester United's midfield progress is somewhat constipated.
Without Pogba, the fluency is still affected.
But Manchester United is not focusing on the center today, but on the left.
When Rodri helped defend the wing in advance, trying to control Ye Yifeng's threat with Cancelo, Ye Yifeng dribbled back when receiving from the wing and knocked the ball horizontally to B Fei, who took the initiative to respond.
Rodri turned around and returned to the center to form a joint defense with Gundogan.
De Bruyne retreated to defend and forced B Fee, who took possession of the ball and retreated, then split the ball to the side.
Luke Shaw comes forward!
Guardiola's eyelids twitched slightly on the sidelines.
Manchester United is so brave!
Luke Shaw came up and sent a direct pass.
Ye Yifeng ran to the left baseline, stopped the ball, and controlled the ball to face Cancelo.
An old rival.
Ye Yifeng immediately took out his beloved old bicycle and pedaled it quickly, causing Cancelo to switch to vibration mode.
Rodri can no longer help defend the wing and can only retreat into the penalty area to protect the space behind Cancelo.
Ye Yifeng pedaled his bicycle quickly for two consecutive rounds and then suddenly changed direction and broke through from the front right.
Cancelo reacted quickly enough, and perhaps had experience, so he was not as embarrassed as before.
However, when the opponent rushed towards him, Ye Yifeng made an emergency stop, pulled the ball in a V-shape, changed direction, and then completed the breakthrough toward the baseline!
Cancelo gritted his teeth as the two passed by.
Ouch!
Still not on guard!
Ye Yifeng, who cut into the penalty area, glanced at Rodri, who stood still and did not dare to attack.
This made Stones feel reassured.
right!
Don't rush!
If you grab it, you will lose!
Seal his line and compress his ball-handling space.
This is definitely the right thing to do.
Cavani has outflanked him in the middle and has already reached the goal.
Manchester City's overall formation, which was walking the dog after the opening, has been forced back to the key defensive area in the backcourt.
Ye Yifeng really didn't have any good choices.
Rush to the baseline and then pass?
The angle is too small and it is easy to be blocked by Ederson.
Dribbling to the outside to widen the angle and shoot?
Rodri and Stones can definitely block his shooting angle. If he is not careful, the ball will be intercepted and all previous efforts will be wasted.
Ye Yifeng, who assessed the situation in a flash and made the best decision, passed the ball back to the front and right of the penalty area in an inverted triangle.
De Bruyne and Gundogan kept an eye on Fee B.
And this ball seemed to have been passed by Ye Yifeng.
But when Gundogan turned around and tried to control the ball, McTominay suddenly rushed to meet the ball and kicked the goal!
Gundogan looked stunned. When he turned around and looked back, he only saw the football flying into the upper right corner of the goal.
The whole audience was shocked!
Carrick didn't react for a moment.
my God!
A good thing like pregnancy happened to Manchester United?
Guardiola's head was buzzing.
Ouch!
McTominay, how long have you been holding back your ultimate move to hit Manchester City?
