Zhuoyang was very curious while sitting on the bench. He didn't know whether it was Mourinho's problem or whether Manchester United players were really that good. The poor offensive organization and passing ability shown by Manchester United's midfielder really surprised him.
After scoring 16 consecutive leading goals, Zhuoyang was replaced by Guardiola in the 65th minute.
Zhuoyang needs to recharge his batteries, and he received a yellow card for defending Professor Young. Guardiola showed his confidence in winning this game. He was not worried that replacing Zhuoyang early would cause Manchester City to win first and then later.
lose.
Lao Gua replaced Mangala, brought Feiniao back to the midfield, and formed a double midfielder with Gundogan. Manchester City's formation changed to 4-4-2.
Even at home, even though the score was behind, Manchester United still couldn't put up a decent offensive, and were suppressed by Manchester City in the entire game.
Although it was not as exaggerated as the half-time offensive and defensive drills, Manchester United set up a familiar bus, and Manchester City also set up a bus in front of the defensive bus, an offensive bus.
Without Pogba, Manchester United's midfielder's offensive creativity is terrible.
Manchester United's defense is really strong, so strong that Manchester City needs Lukaku to make a stupid mistake to score. Manchester United's midfielder is also really rough, so rough that Manchester City doesn't worry much about their counterattack.
The football is at the feet of Manchester United's midfield, and the ball will basically not pass more than three times, and more than three passes will be missed.
If we only talk about defense, Mourinho's offensive 4-3-3 defense today is a 4-5-1 swap formation, with the two trident wings Martial and Rashford, and the halberd Lingard many times.
He spared no effort to return to the penalty area, which is enough to give the other top 18 players in the Premier League a guide on how to defend Manchester City. Guardiola's team really has no chance in sports battles.
Facing any opponent, Guardiola is good at using the gorgeous coat of passing and controlling to hide all his shortcomings, and then use embroidered passes to kill almost all opponents. Unexpectedly, he met Mourinho this time
Oh, this old gangster, he seems to have nowhere to go.
Just looking at one thing, Mourinho achieved what the entire Premier League expected of Manchester United.
But defending in football without attacking is like practicing martial arts without practicing boxing. The offense only relies on long passes to find Lukaku with his back to get the ball. The other 18 princes of the Premier League will probably sneer at him.
Faced with any opponent, Mourinho is good at studying the opponent's characteristics, making targeted arrangements, and then patiently waiting for the opponent to make mistakes. However, not all opponents will make mistakes. And even if the opponent makes a mistake, you can't guarantee that you will
players make more mistakes.
Lukaku is a good center forward, but when he came to Manchester United and after scoring consecutive goals at the beginning of the season, he only scored once in the past eight rounds. The support given to him by Manchester City's midfielder is really unspeakable.
Rooney, who was ridiculed as the "pie team", went to Everton. The league's goal rate increased significantly, and the question of who was obvious.
After Zhuoyang came down, Mourinho also had to strengthen his offense, but he was still the same as before. He did not solve the offensive organization problem from the root cause, but only piled up forwards.
Ibrahimovic replaced Lingard, and then lined up in front of the Manchester City penalty area with Lukaku, Rashford, and Martial, waiting for both sides to hoist the football over their heads, which equaled four standing centers.
But this kind of attack basically does not confuse Manchester City's advanced strategy of Mangala fighting Ederson in the air and attacking others in the air to press for the second goal.
It was not until 80 minutes later that Mourinho was reluctant to move his midfielder and replaced Herrera with Mata.
Uncle Mata has passing footwork, but now his playing rhythm is getting slower and slower, and he even has the classic midfielder syndrome of one stop, two slow and three passes. Manchester City's crazy pressing in the midfield and frontcourt is specially designed to cure this disease.
Special medicine.
In the end, Manchester City won at Old Trafford with a ball possession rate of 65%:35%, a pass success rate of 88%:64%, a pass count of 606:323, a shot of 14:6, and a score of 2:1.
This Manchester City Derby also achieved 14 consecutive victories in the Premier League.
Twelve years ago, Arsenal set a record of 14 consecutive Premier League wins across seasons, but now it has been easily broken by Manchester City in a single season. With the wins in the last five rounds of last season, Manchester City has raised this record to 19 games.
Manchester United's defeat also ended their 40-game unbeaten record at home. The last time the Red Devils lost at Old Trafford, it happened to be a loss to Manchester City. On September 4 last year, in the fourth round of the Premier League last season, it was Zhuo Yang.
The comeback battle after rebirth.
.
The game was over. The Manchester United players walked to the tunnel with their heads lowered and did not have any social interaction with the Manchester City people. A few minutes before the end of the game, Manchester City's Ding Ding, Silva, B-seat, Sterling and others relied on their feet to survive and kept playing.
The shameless corner flag was used to kill time, which made Manchester United furious, and the two sides had several minor conflicts.
Blind man Oliver gave Manchester United three yellow cards.
Mourinho lost his grace and walked straight back to the tunnel without shaking hands with Guardiola. The old man smiled brightly, and the winner did not need to care.
When Lao Gua saw Zhuoyang and Pogba coming down from the stands and talking affectionately, he quickly went over to greet Pogba with a smile before Mourinho entered the passage.
Gua wanted to let Mu see it and deliberately make him angry. But Mu did see it and was indeed very angry.
At this moment, Mourinho suddenly felt that Pogba's heartlessness was really disgusting.
I know you have a good relationship with Zhuo Yang, but the team just lost the derby, can't you pretend to be sad for a little bit? Can't you go back at night and make out with Zhuo Yang again?
Will you die if you give me a penny of face today?
You have the same platform scarf as Guardiola!
Zhuoyang almost drove Mourinho crazy when he was at Real Madrid, but he is not Mourinho. The number one Mourinho in football is Casillas, and he and Mourinho have never concealed their dislike for each other.
The conflict between Mourinho and Casillas began because Mourinho asked Real Madrid to face the same enemy as Barcelona, ​​but Cassie ended up fighting with Pique, Xavi Xiaobai and others after the El Clasico.
Cassie is not only the captain of Real Madrid, but also the captain of the Spanish national team. He had to do that, but this planted a bad root in Mourinho's heart, and the relationship between the two took a turn for the worse.
Pogba, can you blame me if I get into trouble?
.
"Brother Zhuo, I found another private restaurant in Tamseed. Can I call Brother Matthew to go with me later?"
Pogba is a foodie and is keen on food development, which is also a traditional characteristic of Madibau people. Tameside is a county-level city in the northernmost part of Manchester, which is equivalent to a district in China.
"I won't go." Zhuo Yang said with a smile: "How many times have I been fooled by you? The private dishes are all dark dishes that look up to the stars, so I won't go."
"Quack, quack~, this time it's a serious private room... Hey, sir, you also have this scarf. Our aesthetics are very close."
Guardiola suddenly felt that the Jack Wills men's scarf around his neck had become a roadside stall.
The three of them started a temporary, academic discussion about dark cuisine and cashmere scarves in the bustling Old Trafford.
Fitness coach Buenaventura ran out of the tunnel in a panic as if his house was on fire. Without reporting Guardiola first, he called the police directly at Zhuo Yang: "Quick! Quick, there's a fight! Let's fight Manchester United."
There's a fight, go and help."
