Chapter 503: Heavenly King (10)

Seeing the Champions League version of the "Manchester City Derby" on March 28th, the entire Manchester City began to boil, and Manchester United and Manchester City fans were all moved.

Everyone in Manchester United is looking forward to their team winning in this game, while Manchester City fans are looking forward to the good even if their team cannot win, even if they get a draw or two away goals.

This season, Manchester City has had a record of playing in the English Premier League with Manchester United. That time they lost 0-1 to their opponent at Old Trafford Stadium, and "Little Flea" Messi scored the only goal in that game.

It is because of the results of the last match as a reference that Manchester City fans are full of expectations for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Although Brian Istick still failed to lead the team to break Manchester United's dominance after taking office, his style of leading the team is very stable. Now the team is ranked second in the standings, which is normal. The most important thing is that the fans' ideas are very simple. They lost 0:1 at Old Trafford last time, and this time, Messi was suspended for one game due to accumulating three yellow cards, so Manchester City fans naturally had hope.

Moreover, this is exactly the means used by Brian Eastick to boost the morale of Manchester City players. Although he is very clear that football matches are not a mathematical formula of 1-1=0. Without Messi without the only goal in the game, Manchester City may not be able to escape from Old Trafford, but this is a truly effective means and rhetoric that he can think of.

In Manchester United, many people are also regretting the absence of "little flea". Messi has scored 18 goals in the Champions League this season. He scored one more cup of goals than the second-ranked Arsenal team, "Xiaosha Ge". Falcao and Balotelli ranked third and fourth with 8 goals and 7 goals respectively. Manchester United has three of the top four in the Champions League scorer list, and these three are also among the top four in the English Premier League scorer list. If Manchester United's offensive trident is kept intact, no one can compete with them in offensive ability, and no one even dares to do so.

However, Messi's absence only makes Manchester United a little regretful, because there are no shortage of goals in the "Red Devils" team. Without Messi and "Little Fatty" Rooney, during the period when Messi was recovering from injury, "Little Fatty" scored more than a dozen goals. Now he has beaten Falcao with 20 goals in the English Premier League scorer list and ranked third. The top four scorers are all from Manchester United. Messi ranked first in 41 goals, followed by Balotelli's 22 goals, Rooney's 20 goals, and Falcao's 17 goals. It can be said that the "Red Devils" this season is indeed so powerful that it is shocking, especially their offensive ability is already unimaginable, and this is exactly the confidence of Chen Chao. Without Messi, it doesn't matter. Manchester United is still the "Red Devils" that makes their opponents feel desperate.

Chen Chao paid enough attention to Manchester City, but it only paid enough attention. In Chen Chao's opinion, the "Blue Moon" has not reached the point where it can threaten Manchester United. Although this team has a large group of stars after burning a lot of money, Richards, Obinner, Clarov, Tevez, Anderson, Kompany, Krish, Wright Phillips, Carrick, Lescott, Morgan, Rio Ferdinand, Johart and other stars, but this team has never found its "soul"!

When Mancini coached Manchester City, he chose to use money to build a luxurious lineup, but the team that was dispersed in a set of sand only showed 60% of the combat effectiveness, but even so they still won the league championship. It was not until Chen Chao came to Manchester United that he ended Manchester City's "golden dream" in one fell swoop. However, after Brian Eastick started coaching the team this season, Manchester City's condition still showed some new changes. He began to choose powerful stars at the age of 27 or 28 to lay a solid foundation for the team. The joining of Anderson, Obinner, Krish, Martin Claire and others reduced the glitz of Manchester City's team by a few points, and the team also became pragmatic. If this development lasted for two or three years, Manchester City would indeed have the strength and confidence to compete with Manchester United for a long time, but now...... it is not possible!

At 19:45 pm on March 28, the Champions League version of "Manchester City Derby" was finally released.........

However, the drama that even UEFA is looking forward to has only started for 2 minutes. Manchester United, who was fighting at home, broke the deadlock. Manchester City took the lead and controlled the ball. After more than a minute, it suddenly launched an attack from the right. However, after the ball flew to the frontcourt, Nigerian international Obinner, who was extremely fast, was held back by Gareth Bale, and then the old captain Vidic controlled the ball very steadily under his feet. Obinner didn't even touch the edge of the ball.

After Vidic made a little adjustment, he passed the ball across the midfield to Adler in front of the goal. The German goalkeeper drove the ball across the center with a big foot. After "Super Mario" retreated, he rushed to the top and pushed the ball to Falcao's feet on the left.

After the Colombian scorer came to Manchester United, he scored quite a few goals, scoring 30 goals in 38 games, but his greater role was still in tactics. Falcao was smart. When he was at Atletico Madrid, everyone was serving him. He could shoot, shoot, and shoot without any scruples. No one would have any opinions on him even if he shot in a strait. But after he came to Manchester United, he could not do this. He was a star like Balotelli, Rooney, Messi, David Silva. If he was not calm and chaotic, he would definitely not be able to integrate into the team. Therefore, although Falcao scored a lot of goals after coming to Manchester United, every shot was only taken when the opportunity was good, and his 70% shooting rate was enough to show that he was very cautious.

However, Falcao is very casual in assists, and he even did a great job in this regard. So far this season, he has sent 26 assists to his teammates, and he has become the king of assists in Manchester United. This also allowed the Colombian to complete a process of transforming from a shooter to a top striker, and it is also a key factor in Falcao's rapid integration into the team and gaining the trust of Chen Chao and others.

After receiving Balotelli's header, Falcao quickly dribbled the ball on the left, but he dribbled the ball to the side and did not try to pass Hargreaves in front of him. It was not until he saw that "Little Fat" had rushed to the frontcourt in the middle at high speed, and then passed the ball with one kick!

"Bang!"

The ball drew an arc in the air and fell to the top of the left arc. Rooney also ran to the ball at the very fast speed. He was also followed by Richards and Krish. The older Rio Ferdinand had no speed at all. This kind of work that prevented the opponent from counterattacking and running hard in front of his door could only be left to the young man to do.

But the experience of "Little Fatty" Rooney is definitely not what Krish and Richards have. When the two Manchester City defenders ran back, Rooney swung the ball towards the front left. In a moment, Rooney dodged the two Manchester City defenders who were chasing back. At the same time, he also gave up Joe Hart who was snatching out of the way, winning himself a chance to start a new line of footsteps!

"Bang!"

Decisiveness has always been one of Rooney's many excellent qualities. Even this kid often acted recklessly when he was young. He did not hesitate at the moment when the opportunity appeared, and used his left foot that he was not good at and knocked the ball out!

Johart rushed to the right, but his movements were far less fast than Rooney's shot. When the ball was still jumping in the air, it flew over from his right hand.........

"goal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rooney roared and opened his arms, and rushed to Falcao, who had assisted him on the wing. He rode on the Colombian shooter and waved his fists to celebrate. The entire Old Trafford Stadium was completely boiling. Before the fans could sit on the chairs, they had to jump up to celebrate!

Manchester United is excited, but Manchester City is a little sad. Before the game, no one would have thought that they would concede the ball so soon. Manchester City players are already familiar with the "stability" of their team. This season, they are second only to Manchester United's team in the twenty super teams. In their opinion, Manchester United concedes fewer goals because their offense is too strong. It is too difficult for their opponents to play them. Speaking of defense, Manchester City is definitely the strongest among the twenty super teams.

Moreover, the stable defense brought by Brian Eastik has become the magic weapon for Manchester City to win games, but now...

Two minutes!

It's only two minutes!

Manchester United actually broke through the goal of their team in just two minutes. How should we play in this game... in this game?

Manchester City players all turned their eyes to the man in a black windbreaker with gray hair standing on the sidelines.........

Brian Istic's face was very serious. His team lost the ball so quickly, which was indeed beyond his expectations, but conceding the ball... was expected. Brian Istic had long known that his team would not not concede the ball when they met Manchester United, and playing against the "Red Devils" is a stupid issue that he would not consider at all. When he met Manchester United, he could only play defensive counterattack!

With both hands, Brian Istic expressed his instructions with a serious but calm expression: Stay calm! Stay calm! Everything is the same! Continue to fight defensively!
