I am the king of football

Chapter 374 The Enemy Dared to Fight Back at Me
"Manchester United! Manchester United! Manchester United!"

After the short halftime break, when the two teams stepped onto the field again, the Manchester United fans at Old Trafford once again cheered for their heroes at the loudest of voices.

The Red Devils players really enjoyed the feeling of being supported and needed. They waved and nodded to their teammates, which brought them another wave of even louder cheers.

Compared with them, when the Manchester City players in sky blue jerseys appeared on the field, although the visiting Blue Moon fans tried their best to cheer them on, the fans of the Red Devils' mortal rivals directly suppressed their voices and almost blocked them out.

"Both sides are standing in alternate halves of the field. The second half is about to begin!"

Zhan Jun's voice rang out again. Today's heavy rain finally began to subside during the half-time break. Except for the wet grass on the court, the impact of other rainfall on the players was much smaller.

This finally made Pellegrini's expression relax a lot. During the halftime break, the team regained momentum thanks to the captain's questioning. Now the objective influence has been reduced a lot. It seems that their chance has come.

"Shhh!!!"

"Okay, as the referee blew the whistle, Dzeko, who was standing at the serving point, pushed the ball out. His partner Aguero quickly stepped back after receiving the ball and turned and rushed forward."

In the first half of the game, Aguero and Dzeko had almost no chance to perform. Due to the decay of the team's midfield and backcourt, they had no support from their teammates and often had to rely on themselves to press and try to steal the ball and launch counterattacks.

However, after the start of the second half, as the rain gradually subsided, Manchester City's characteristics in ball control and advancement finally had the opportunity to play out.

"The ball began to pass constantly between the Blue Moon players. The ball control was very delicate. David Silva and Yaya Toure, the two core midfielders, cooperated very harmoniously. Barry and Nasri, as the receiving side, also kept running to provide support."

At the beginning of the game, although Manchester United, with great momentum, quickly began to press, but as the ball began to pass in Manchester City's half, the ball was not taken away but was quickly passed by several midfielders all the way across the half.

"Yaya Toure dribbled the ball forward quickly, Silva ran to the left and Manchester City changed their formation to 442 in a short time."

As an all-around midfielder, Yaya Toure is definitely the most indispensable member of Manchester City's midfield. When dribbling the ball, he was able to handle the pressure from Carrick with ease, as well as the pressure from the forwards who came up to him after the failed pressure. Although the field was still slippery, his ability to dribble the ball in a wide and open manner perfectly made up for this disadvantage.

"We have arrived at the opponent's midfield. Scholes and Carrick are about to join forces to press. In this situation, we must pass the ball. Yes, it is passed to David Silva on the left. Silva did not stop the ball. He kicked it directly under the ball before Cleverley could get up!"

"Shu~"

The ball flew into the air and then flew directly behind Manchester United's midfield defense. Center forward Dzeko jumped high without hesitation and overpowered Evans in front of the penalty area to head the ball.

"Dzeko headed the ball to Aguero on the right, shoot!!!"

Before Phil Jones could reach the goal, Aguero's shot came quickly and rolled past Phil Jones. With the help of the slippery ground, the ball was heading towards the right goal post.

"Boom!"

"De Gea jumped down to save the ball, beautiful! He appeared at the moment before the ball rolled over the goal line, and Aguero's shot was saved from going out of bounds~" "Boom! De Gea! De Gea! De Gea!"

The fans are the simplest and purest group. They cheer for whoever plays well and shout the name of whoever contributes to the team. At this moment, De Gea is obviously their favorite goalkeeper.

"Manchester City's attack at the start was very threatening and they also got a corner kick opportunity. It seems that there will be a lot to watch in the second half."

Zhan Jun expressed his emotion. He thought Manchester City might be unable to recover in the second half after the first half of the game. He never expected that they could give such a surprise.

In the subsequent corner attack, due to the large number of Manchester United's good headers, Dzeko was unable to fight against four players and was firmly defended. The corner kick taken by Silva flew over his head without causing any threat.

However, as Zhan Jun said, the Blue Moon's offensive is far from over. Due to the performance in the period just after the opening, the team's state and momentum have finally been completely lifted. Seeing the hope of scoring, the Manchester City players began to fight with all their might.

As for the Manchester United players, when the opponents began to attack in waves, Ferguson quickly commanded the team to retreat. He did not want to see the team lose the ball in the biggest wave of the opponents. With a two-goal advantage in hand, they could play with ease.

At this time, the confident Manchester United players did not think that their opponents, who had a mediocre performance in the first half, could create any opportunities.

As the game gradually unfolded, a series of performance times belonged to Manchester City. With Yaya Toure's frequent insertions, they began to quickly attack Manchester United's defense.

In the 53rd minute of the game, less than five minutes after the last corner kick, Dzeko received a pass from Aguero on the left side of the penalty area and volleyed the ball. The ball was blocked by Evans' outstretched thigh and refracted along the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.

Then in the 63rd minute of the game, Manchester City made a comeback after blocking a wave of rapid attacks from Manchester United. They attacked heavily and kept passing the ball in the hinterland of Manchester United's midfield. As a bridgehead, Dzeko kept interacting with his own midfield and his presence was full, which directly made the Red Devils' defensive focus fall in front of him.

So, when David Silva finally seized the opportunity to send a straight pass that went straight through Manchester United's midfield and defense line, the elusive Aguero did not miss this chance.

"Aguero! He received the pass from David Silva behind the defender. Instead of shooting directly, he pushed the ball to the left as De Gea rushed forward and shot!"

Since you can save the ball, then I will dribble past you. This is a simple truth that everyone understands, but few people can do it. Obviously, Aguero, as a top striker, is one of them.

"The ball goes in!!! Aguero scored by pushing the ball into the empty goal. He seized the opportunity with his ghostly movement and helped Manchester City to equalize the game!"

"Ah Kun! Ah Kun! Ah Kun!"

Finally able to cheer loudly, the Manchester City fans at the scene expressed their long-suppressed emotions with the loudest voice. Aguero, who scored the goal, also rushed to the sidelines and punched hard to express his joy.

But at this moment, the Manchester United players did not look embarrassed after conceding the goal. Anger appeared on the faces of each of them. For a moment, the entire Red Devils team was filled with anger that the enemy dared to fight back against me.
