Maguire scored a header from Ye Yifeng at the last moment to save Manchester United's defeat.
At the end of the game, Klopp was still unwilling to give in to the referee team.
The Reds fans were so happy, but Manchester United fans couldn't say how happy they were.
A draw shortened the gap between Chelsea and Manchester City and the top spot.
The cruel thing is that Liverpool fell from second place in the standings to fourth place in the league...
Manchester United leads Chelsea by 1 point, Manchester City by 2 points, and Liverpool by 3 points.
There are eight rounds of league games in the fierce battle for the championship group.
Liverpool and Chelsea can rest and recuperate in the middle of the week.
Manchester United and Manchester City are going to go to the New Wembley Stadium to compete for the League Cup championship.
Ye Yifeng was slightly injured. Although he followed the team to the New Wembley Stadium, he was not included in the starting list.
Before the game, Fleet Street called on Guardiola to lead Manchester City to defeat Manchester United's prestige!
This season, the Club World Cup was suspended due to the World Cup. Before that, Manchester United had already cut off the Community Shield and the European Super Cup.
After Carrick took office, Manchester United's efficiency in plundering trophys was still very terrifying.
Although the League Cup is just a small trophy for Sesame Mung Beans, Manchester United has taken the League Cup and the FA Cup in the past few years.
Don’t other teams want to feel the passion for winning the cup?
Besides, it's also a Manchester City Derby.
If he can beat Manchester United in the final, this will have a better advantage over Manchester City whether in the league championship or the final stage of the Champions League knockout stage.
Manchester's pair of archenemy meets with New Wembley Stadium for the League Cup.
Ye Yifeng was sitting on the bench but still attracted much attention.
Since he is on the bench, he will definitely have a chance to make a appearance.
Red Devils fans are in a heavy mood and are difficult to be optimistic about the game.
There is only one question: the suspense of whether Manchester City can kill the game before Ye Yifeng makes his debut!
Although Manchester United still has a 442 formation, its overall style of play is mainly defensive counterattack.
Manchester City's elite are out.
Guardiola stood on the sidelines to supervise the game, hoping that the team could secure the victory early.
What he even thought in his heart was: dominating the game will make Ye Yifeng lose the opportunity to appear.
If Manchester City led Manchester United three goals 60 minutes ago, Carrick would definitely not replace Ye Yifeng.
When the game started, Manchester City immediately took the initiative on the field and launched a bombardment, and at the same time, it was supplemented by high-level pressing to maintain a fast-paced and high-pressure.
Manchester United's overall formation was huddled in the half, facing the opponent's fierce attack and storm.
The four major engineers actively fill up the positions and assist in defense. Sancho and Rashford are mostly involved in defense, but they also look for opportunities to run forward every time the offense and defense transition.
In fact, Manchester City has not faced the situation where Manchester United's midfield is full of hardness this season. Today, the final was suddenly faced with the difficult situation of Manchester United's four major engineers guarding the defense line, and they were also helpless on the offensive end.
Manchester United, under Carrick's command, basically only temporarily switches anti-counter tactics, but will not use bus tactics to wait for the opponent to make mistakes for a long time.
It does not mean that their defensive strength is not strong enough.
If you want to say there are any hidden dangers, it must be Conde who replaced the starter after the suspension.
The four major midfielders, Fred, McTominay, Adams, and Tilemans.
Creativity is indeed limited, but defense can fully load mobility.
If Manchester City wants to control the rhythm, just do whatever you want.
However, Manchester City needs to speed up, and the midfield joint defense guards can basically be formed with more defense and less encirclement.
Manchester City couldn't help but feel a little restless when they couldn't defeat them for a long time.
When they began to try to disrupt Manchester United's defense with long shots, in the 38th minute of the game, Foden cut in and shot just as he started, but Tilemans broke the ball.
After Sancho took the ball in the front, he quickly played a part-time pass and cut with Rashford. After the pass, the situation opened. Sancho rushed to the frontcourt and advanced the counterattack.
He dribbled all the way to the front of the penalty area and passed the ball to find Rashford who was obliquely inserted and completed the offside. The latter dribbled the ball with the ball and completed the adjustment on the right rib of the penalty area and shot.
Although Ederson encountered the football, the ball was too fast and refracted from under his arm and bounced into the goal!
All Manchester City fans were confused!
Unexpectedly, they were the first to be broken.
The camera was locked on Ye Yifeng's face intentionally or unintentionally.
I don't know if it was hinting that he was not needed to play, or if Manchester United could also break through Manchester City's goal without him.
Carrick clenched his fists and shook his arms. Although there was no smile on his face, his overall condition was obviously inspired by the goal!
Guardiola's expression is not very good.
At this moment, I realized that even if I play as a team with buses in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League, Manchester City will not easily break through the opponent's defense line and bully it.
Manchester United is not the strongest in Europe, but when the turtle shrinks, it turns into a difficult bone. When it can't bite, it collapses its teeth and splashes its blood.
After leading the score, Manchester United further strengthened their defense.
The defense line was in danger and the half-time game ended.
Manchester United 1:0 Manchester City.
At this time, Manchester City fans were no longer optimistic and were very nervous.
Perhaps the Great Devil has entered the countdown stage!
The two sides changed sides and fought again in the second half.
In order to equalize the score as soon as possible, Manchester City's physical fitness was beyond imagination. De Bruyne frequently made quick shots in the frontcourt, and the mid- and long-distance diagonal passes were dazzling.
Manchester United's defense line is constantly being torn, and the defense line is running hard.
When Manchester United had a good chance to counterattack, Manchester City players decisively took fouls to delay.
When Walker almost returned and became the last defensive player, he knocked down Rashford, Carrick showed mercy to the referee and gave only yellow cards to the penalty!
Therefore, the referee was also given a verbal warning.
In the 68th minute of the game, when Torres fell in the penalty area to receive Cancelo's cross from the penalty area and the referee blew a penalty!
Maguire was punished for pushing someone for a foul!
Maguire received a yellow card for protesting.
The Red Devils fans were also dissatisfied with the referee's penalty, and the booing of the new Wembley Stadium was shocking!
De Bruyne took the penalty kick and withstood the huge pressure and shot hard!
Manchester City finally tied the score!
1:1.
Guardiola made gestures on the sidelines to make the team work harder and strive to make a reversal as soon as possible!
The Red Devils fans were resentful, but soon became energetic.
The camera was locked on Ye Yifeng in a long time.
Ye Yifeng warmed up on the sidelines!
Manchester City fans couldn't help but feel numb when they saw him warming up.
The Red Devils fans instantly got the confidence.
The Great Devil is about to appear!
In the 72nd minute of the game, Ye Yifeng appeared to replace Mike Tominai.
The first thing he did after he appeared was to take the captain's armband passed one by one through his teammates and wear it on his arms.
Guardiola was a little confused at this time.
Whether Ye Yifeng is there? This is the difference between the situation changing drastically!
Is Manchester City going to withdraw?
If it withdraws, wouldn’t it mean to tell everyone that they are afraid of Ye Yifeng?
But even if everyone knows that Manchester City will definitely be afraid of Ye Yifeng, it cannot be done too obviously.
Too hurts morale.
When you stop and continue to suffer from chaos!
Instead, Guardiola decisively gestured to the team.
Continue to attack wildly!
Although Manchester United played Ye Yifeng, they also removed McTominai, which was weakened in defense.
To be continued...
