Chapter 141 Manchester City's Offensive

From the very beginning of the game, the pace of the game was very fast.

Manchester City, which is playing at home, has the strength of the home court, and they took the lead in launching an attack.

Guardiola stood on the sidelines with his chest crossed.His most important job during this period is to study Manchester United, trying to find out the weaknesses of this team.

It is undeniable that although the Manchester United team does not have any commendable innovations in tactical play.Ancelotti arranged a formation that was very suitable for Li Qingshan to play, and then launched an offensive with Li Qingshan as the core.The addition of Pogba has made Manchester United's offensive ability even better. It can be said that Manchester United's team relies on Li Qingshan's super personal ability. In theory, as long as Li Qingshan is frozen, Manchester United is actually not that strong. The two games that Li Qingshan missed this season proved this point.

But freezing Li Qingshan?

Countless teams against Manchester United have tried to do this, but without exception, they have all failed-otherwise Manchester United would not have won the treble with such a strong posture last season.

Guardiola was probably the first coach in European football to play against Li Qingshan.As early as when Li Qingshan was playing in the Chinese League, Guardiola in the Club World Cup had experienced Li Qingshan's power.

Since David Silva missed the game due to injury and lacked the engine of Manchester City's most important frontcourt attack, Guardiola could only send four avant-garde positions, trying to use high-intensity high-position pressure, Play the offensive ability of four forward players.

Aguero is a striker with super finishing ability, but Guardiola did not focus on Aguero in this game. Aguero's foot skills and passing skills are good, so Guardiola Diola hopes that Aguero can play the role of a ball center and provide Manchester City's four forwards with shooting opportunities.

Yaya Toure and De Bruyne sit in the middle. Sane and Sterling on both sides are quite fast and have a very sharp breakthrough ability.

Even in the absence of David Silva, Manchester City still has a quite luxurious lineup.

As soon as the game started, Manchester City began to put pressure on Manchester United's penalty area.

Guardiola wants to use offense instead of defense!Although Guardiola used almost the same idea in the previous confrontations with Manchester United, it seems that the results are always not very good.Guardiola concluded afterwards that Li Qingshan was in exceptionally good form in these few games. When Manchester United was about to lose, Li Qingshan always helped Manchester United score at critical moments to reverse the game.

It's not that my tactical thinking is wrong, it's just when the opponent's state is overwhelmed.If it is in a normal state, if Manchester City leads [-]-[-] or [-]-[-], the probability of the opponent wanting to get it back is actually not high.

Guardiola decided to stick to his tactics, and he wanted to attack Manchester United at home!

Li Qingshan is very good. The newly introduced Pogba this season has also gradually integrated into Manchester United's system. However, after Pogba joined, Manchester United's offensive strength has become stronger, but in fact, relatively, Manchester United's defense is actually stronger than last season. Weak, Pogba's participation in offense is quite high, and Pogba is a player who is not very focused on defense. Manchester United's defensive three midfielders last season, after Pogba joined, are actually equivalent to two. Halfway.

Herrera and Fellaini can't take care of such a wide field, because Guardiola uses four people to match Manchester United in this position. Even if Pogba returns, Manchester United will be Three against four, and if Mata and Di Maria retreat, then Manchester City's two full-backs will press up, and Guardiola requires that they always have an advantage in numbers in the midfield.

The situation at the beginning of the game was also as Guardiola expected. Manchester United's defense was flawed. Valencia was not a pure full-back. Fellaini and Herrera's defensive ability was not as good as people imagined. .When Manchester City's four forwards plus Aguero, and two full-backs pressed up on both sides, Manchester United also had to retract their formation to prevent Manchester City from taking advantage of the space in their formation.

And Li Qingshan.

At this time, Li Qingshan was surrounded by three people. Kompany, Otamendi, and Fernandinho formed a triangle around Li Qingshan, absolutely preventing Li Qingshan from receiving the ball. .

When Manchester City mobilized more offensive forces to participate in the offense, Manchester United's defense was also under considerable pressure.

In the 7th minute of the game, Manchester City had the best chance of the game.

De Bruyne sits in the center and pulls the offense, Yaya Toure presses forward, helping De Bruyne share the pressure of defense-Fellaini has to follow Yaya Toure closely.

De Bruyne faced Herrera one-on-one in the middle. The Belgian did not choose to force a breakthrough. Instead, after taking a few steps to the right in the middle, he sent a through ball to the right rib!

"Beautiful!! It's as straight as a scalpel!!" Andy Gray praised.

Many people believe that among the new generation of midfielders, De Bruyne will become the future midfielder.Even though Pogba is bearing a transfer fee of [-] million, there are still many people who believe that De Bruyne is a better midfielder than Pogba.

"He is the next Iniesta, and he may even have a higher ceiling than Iniesta." Gary Neville spoke very highly of De Bruyne.

This pass passed between the central defender and the left back, passing between Rojo and Sandro.

Right back Zabaleta made the assist and got the ball.

Zabaleta stopped the ball, and Sandro was already in place at this time.

However, Manchester United's crisis has not yet been lifted. De Bruyne directed Sterling to go to the middle, and he came to the right by himself, and the two completed a swap!

Zabaleta passed the ball back to De Bruyne again.

Yaya Toure's position is very awkward. This should have been his job, but now it's all done by De Bruyne.De Bruyne is younger than him and has better athletic ability than Yaya Toure. It is no wonder that it is difficult for Yaya Toure to compete with De Bruyne in terms of position competition.

Yaya Toure originally wanted to go to the wing to meet him, but after seeing De Bruyne go to that position, Yaya Toure had to continue walking into the penalty area, at least Yaya Toure is still quite tall.

De Bruyne cut inside with the ball, faked a shot, dunked past Herrera before sweeping the ball into the box with his right foot.

Sterling took the ball in the penalty area and shot with his right foot, but the ball went flying.
