Chapter 785: It's Derby After All
"From the beginning of the game! The rhythm is very fast! The two teams did not need to test at all, and started the attack directly!!!"
"The two teams are not showing weakness to each other!!"
In the state of attacking, the game goes very fast!
Fans on both sides cheered with their respective offenses, and for neutral fans, this kind of offense is the most enjoyable.
Ten minutes before the game, the two teams added up to eleven shots!
An average of one shot per minute can be completed, and both sides are unreserved!
Manchester United's offensive threat Gao Bo is in sight.
He finally did not have the calmness at the beginning of the game, and also came to the sidelines and stood.
However, he did not speak, nor did he intervene in the current situation.
This game is a great opportunity to test the depths of Manchester United's chances.
There is no doubt that Guardiola's Manchester United will be Manchester City's biggest rivals this season.
In the eleventh minute of the game, Hernandez's shot from outside the penalty area failed to be powerful and was hugged by Oblak.
Manchester City then attacked.
Umtiti received the ball, and Manchester United immediately launched a press in the frontcourt.
That was characteristic of Guardiola's side, who quickly formed a one-on-one marking up front against several of Manchester City's potential receivers.
At this time, Umtiti made a fake pass to the wing, and then suddenly turned around and took a step forward.
This step is very important!
Because Umtiti made a move to dribble the ball forward, Manchester United had to shrink the players in the frontcourt to the middle to prevent Umtiti from dribbling the ball.
And that's what Umtiti is for!
When Manchester United chose to shrink the middle, he was assigned to the wing at this time.
Gao Bo nodded when he saw this, which is one of the reasons why he bought Umtiti.
Although the French teenager is still very young,
But there is a general style. He handles the ball very calmly on the court, and every action is very purposeful.
He simply moved forward, so that Manchester United's defense had to retreat 30 meters.
Guardiola frowned.
He looked at Gao Bo not far away.
He really couldn't understand why Gao Bo could always find some such talented young players.
This surprised Guardiola very much.
Umtiti's handling of the ball just now made him very admire, this young teenager has the potential to grow into a true world-class central defender.
At this point, Manchester City's offense has advanced to the half.
Sanchez is holding the ball on the left.
He made a breakthrough to the outside and everything inward, cutting past Kyle Walker, and at the same time he passed the ball forward and gave the ball to Hazard!
At the same time, Sanchez moved forward after passing the ball, but Kyle Walker followed very closely!
Hazard originally planned to do a wall kick with Sanchez, but now he has to change his mind when he sees Kyle Walker's defense.
However, Sanchez's movement still has a role, he took Kyle Walker away!
Griezmann fills the void!
Hazard passed the ball back, Griezmann hardly looked up, he moved the ball in the first place!
Football is on the right!
"pretty!!!!"
David Silva on the right did not stop the ball!
His arches push the ball forward!
Trippier rushed up behind him and got the ball near the penalty area line on the right!
Then he directly kicked the ball across the middle!
The front point Hazard pressed up, attracting the attention of the two Manchester United defenders, while taking the area near the penalty spot empty!
And Sanchez plugged in here!
In a hurry, Carrick, who was back on defense, pushed the ball forward, and it fell directly to Griezmann's feet!
In the face of such an opportunity, Griezmann directly won the ball and volleyed!
boom! ! !
The football was like a bolt of lightning across the sky at Wembley Stadium and into the goal! !
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!”
"Griezmann!! Beautiful!!!"
"One to zero!!! Manchester City opened the scoring!!!!!!"
The Manchester City players laughed and celebrated, and the Manchester City fans cheered too!
Such a scene appeared last season!
Manchester United were beaten by Manchester City last season! Now Manchester City have once again scored a goal against Manchester United.
It seems that Manchester United is likely to lose to Manchester City again, ushering in a three-game losing streak in the Manchester derby!
...
Manchester City's players are also very happy, they believe that after the first goal, the game is basically stable!
Then they also continued to attack, trying to expand the lead in the score.
But the next goal did not belong to Manchester City.
In the 21st minute of the game, Manchester United attacked!
Modric hits Hernandez through midfield!
Hernandez twisted awkwardly, jumped before Umtiti and stabbed the ball towards the goal!
Oblak couldn't react in time, and the football rolled into the net! !
Gao Bo is a little helpless about this loss, which is the characteristic of young players, especially in the position of central defender.
Hernandez has more experience than Umtiti, and Umtiti did not expect that Hernandez could stab like this with a person separated.
It's a totally unconventional shot.
Through this goal, Manchester United equalized the score.
....
Twenty minutes into the first half, both sides had already scored a goal.
Neither side was conservative in the next game!
The two teams continue to fight against each other!
"This may be the most exciting Community Shield game in recent years!!"
"Manchester United have improved a lot this season. They are playing against Manchester City and they are not at a disadvantage!!"
"Manchester United's signings are very successful, Guardiola's second season is very exciting!!"
The commentators applauded the open game.
Both teams invested heavily on the offensive end, and they were not conservative at all!
However, after Manchester United equalized in the 21st minute, the two-sided battle continued until the thirtieth minute!
At this time, no one will relax easily.
Moreover, the game also gradually appeared gunpowder smell.
In the 38th minute of the game, Griezmann was knocked to the ground by Thiago, triggering a skirmish between the players on both sides.
The referee gave Thiago and Fernandinho, who rushed up to shove Thiago, a yellow card, respectively, to calm the incident.
Even if it's just a Community Shield game, the two Manchester teams are not polite to their opponents at all.
In any case, this is a Manchester derby after all.
As the game progressed, the smell of gunpowder from both sides gradually came up!
In the last seven or eight minutes of the first half, players from both teams received yellow cards.
However, the absence of the first half did not result in a goal.
The two teams entered the locker room with a score of 1-1.
