Chapter 359 Do you want to do it again without changing your posture?
Manchester Derby entered garbage time early.
Countless neutral fans lamented.
The former Premier League hegemon Manchester United was the Premier League champion when Ferguson retired. In just one and a half years, they were reduced to such a useless state.
It is undeniable that Manchester City has re-entered the upward period after welcoming Hao Qiang.
If you look at other teams in the Premier League, there was Liverpool last season and Chelsea this season.
As the overlord, Manchester United's fall at the speed of light is really unexpected.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, every ten Manchester United fans in the visiting team's stands were filled with excitement.
More than 90% of the fans left the stadium early, leaving the stands looking empty.
Not only did the Red Devils lose this game, but it also hurt morale and people's hearts.
Manchester City 2:0 Manchester United.
It seems that the score difference is not big.
But only after watching the game did I realize that Manchester United was pinned to the ground and rubbed throughout.
If De Gea hadn't resisted like a god descending from heaven, Manchester United would have lost at least 5 games!
After the game, Van Gaal was ridiculed and ridiculed by Fleet Street: No matter how good the cook is, he can't cook Manchester United's dishes well!
Pellegrini is not arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, but he can't hide the satisfaction of winning the derby.
"We have already shown stronger strength and better form than Manchester United last season. Today is just a continuation, but we will be wary of Manchester United's re-emergence."
Red Devils fans burst into tears after hearing this.
Rise again?
Will there ever be that day?
Voting for the Golden Globe Awards closes in the middle of this month.
As the second runner-up for the Golden Globe Award for the past two consecutive years, Hao Qiang is of course still a popular candidate.
But this year I may not even be able to secure second place.
World Cup champion Germany has no favorites for the Ballon d'Or.
Neuer is the most popular but does not have a strong base of popularity.
Ronaldo has the Champions League, Messi is the World Cup runner-up and La Liga, and Hao Qiang has no other honors besides the English Triple Crown and the Golden Boot to add points to him.
As for his breakthrough in leading the Chinese team in the World Cup, it can be completely ignored.
Hao Qiang himself doesn't care, but his team will still build momentum for him.
There are new videos about his performance in each season that are widely circulated on social platforms, and some media will also support him and try to canvass him for votes.
Hao Qiang himself has a Buddhist mentality.
Without absolutely overwhelming performance and honors, there is no reason to insist on winning the Ballon d'Or.
However, his overhead kick in the Manchester City Derby broke out on all major media platforms, and it can indeed add a wave of impression points to him before the voting deadline for the Ballon d'Or.
In mid-week after a few days of local rest, Manchester City faced the challenge of CSKA Moscow at home.
The fourth round of the Champions League group stage has arrived as scheduled.
Manchester City players are gearing up for a big fight at the Etihad Stadium.
Recently, morale has been booming and we have won consecutive battles.
The players all hope to keep up their efforts and strive for good performance.
They defeated CSKA Moscow hard in the away game, and they felt a little bit contemptuous when they returned to the home court.
Pellegrini didn't dare to play with fire, and Manchester City showed their best.
Manchester City launched a fierce attack right from the start of the game.
The fans are relaxed and are predicting the trend of the game.
"How many can we score today? I guess at least 4!"
"I guess the deadlock must have been broken 20 minutes ago."
"Can Hao Huang score a hat trick? I think there should be no problem today."
The fans were chatting here, but suddenly they fell silent.
The situation on the field suddenly changed.
CSKA Moscow had an excellent counterattack opportunity in the first 3 minutes.
In other words, Manchester City's heavy presence will definitely give the opponent room to counterattack.
And CSKA Moscow forward Dombia is astonishingly fast!
Demichelis, Demichelis again!
It was directly exploded by Dombia.
Doumbia went to the meeting alone.
Joe Hart panicked and was hit in the far corner by his opponent as soon as he attacked.
The save is meaningless.
CSKA Moscow leads Manchester City 1:0.
The fans looked at each other.
"Where's the brother who just said he would score a goal 20 minutes ago? You guessed it, but it wasn't us who scored the goal!"
"Is this a daily explosion, Demichelis? Are you not covering it up anymore?"
"Well, I can't blame him entirely. Today our formation was too aggressive in pressing. Everyone wanted to push CSKA Moscow to the ground in the frontcourt. As long as CSKA Moscow organizes a counterattack, it will definitely be a threat."
Pellegrini's mind was blank and buzzing.
When other strong teams are strong, they start by shooting Tianhu in seconds.
Why did Manchester City get off to a punishing start after becoming strong?
If there is no difficulty, do you create difficulties yourself?
The Manchester City generals quickly put away their contempt.
They were supposed to take advantage of their home court but were severely bitten by CSKA Moscow.
Kicked off with a bit of anger.
In order to overtake the score as soon as possible, Manchester City must continue to press and attack. At the same time, the defensive end lacks trust in the back line and can only choose to initiate foul tactics on the spot to stifle the opponent's counterattack.
Otherwise, if the opponent is allowed to pass, God knows whether the defense line will explode again.
CSKA Moscow succeeded in a sneak attack at the beginning and wanted to continue to expand their lead. As a result, Manchester City's offensive rhythm increased immediately after the kick-off, and their defensive aggressiveness also jumped up.
In the 13th minute of the game, CSKA Moscow's counterattacks were stifled by Manchester City fouls. Two yellow cards for Fernandinho and Fernando within 5 minutes meant that Manchester City paid a huge price.
But this time CSKA Moscow's quick counterattack was successfully intercepted by David Silva and Fernandinho before halftime.
David Silva turned around and ran. Fernandinho made a short pass. Then David Silva stopped the ball and looked at the situation in front of him. He decisively sent a direct pass to the ground.
Aguero made a quick run and cut in and fired the ball.
As soon as the football rolled into the penalty area, Hao Qiang rushed forward and redirected the ball to break through the defense.
As soon as Akinfeev left the goal, Hao Qiang half-turned and volleyed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
Simple and neat.
There was no chance for Akinfeev to save!
The Etihad Stadium burst into cheers instantly.
Manchester City fans cheered crazily for Hao Qiang again.
"CSKA Moscow's sneak attack actually wants to do it again. How about changing your position?"
"Do you really think we are pretending to be powerful?"
“What we fought this time was CSKA Moscow’s counterattack!”
Manchester City's fast and accurate frontcourt goal shocked CSKA Moscow generals.
It's so fast!
It seems that from defense to offense, no action of every player involved in every link is redundant!
Hao Qiang briefly high-fived and hugged his teammates in celebration before retreating to midfield.
Manchester City's morale has been greatly boosted and they are filled with surging self-confidence.
It was just an equalizer.
They want to overtake the score in one go!
CSKA Moscow stepped up its defense immediately after the kick-off.
The frontcourt only relies on Dombia's speed to create threats.
