Chapter 1163 Anticipation of the World Cup
After scoring the first goal, Manchester United played more relaxed next.They have the ball in their hands, they are more stable in offensive and defensive rhythm, and Carrick is a real expert in controlling the rhythm of the game.

This game is Carrick's farewell game in England.Before the game, Kintag chatted with him privately again, asking if he could postpone his decision to retire.

Carrick smiled: "Boss, including this time, you have already asked me twelve times this season."

"What if I can persuade you to change your mind this time," Jin Taige shrugged, "You can play football and be a part-time coach at the same time, it won't affect you anyway."

Carrick waved his hand: "Forget it, I can't keep up with my physical condition now, let's leave the opportunity to the young people. I have already thought about it, and I will go to the youth team to find Ryan next season. It's best to train the younger players with him."

Jin Taige sighed: "What a pity, after you leave, I will never have such an excellent captain like you again."

"Veteran still has Valencia, rookie has Van Dijk and Griezmann, they are both very good captains." Carrick comforted Kintag.

Jin Taige shook his head: "Although they are also very good, they are different, different from you..."

Jin Taige's sentence is different, it contains many complicated emotions.

As the only remaining player from the Ferguson era, Kintag liked Carrick very much.He is not only low-key and humble, but also has an excellent relationship with his teammates. In the team, everyone respects him very much.Although due to physical reasons, the playing time this season has reached the lowest in history, but as long as Carrick appears on the court, he will definitely be able to explode with great strength.

Although his speed and physical strength have declined seriously, but his precise passing and world-class rhythm control ability, even at this age, he is definitely worthy of Manchester United's lineup!

Carrick performed very well in this game.His dispatch in the midfield just now created an assist and created the team's first goal.For the next period of time, Carrick firmly controlled the rhythm in the midfield, allowing Manchester United's offensive and defensive transition to be very smooth.

For Manchester United, their bottom-of-the-box trick is fast break.For the fast break, the attack initiation link in the midfield is only crucial.Carrick is always able to pass the ball suddenly in a smooth pass, quickly hitting Manchester United's speed, completing the offensive and defensive transition in an instant, and becoming the starting point of Manchester United's fast break.

From this point of view, Carrick is still a world-class midfielder.

In the next period of time, Manchester City's offense became more and more fierce. Seats D and Seat B played several classic cooperations in the frontcourt, creating good opportunities for several forwards in the penalty area.If it weren't for the outstanding performance of Manchester United's defensive players, Romero might have already lost the goal.

As the game progressed, Pogba's performance became better and better.Pogba has been very active since the wonderful ball protection, passing, and passing in the opening game. Behind the D seat and the B seat, he often helps the two make transitions and pass precise passes.

In this way, Manchester City's midfield offense became more and more active, and Manchester United's pressure was also increasing.

Taking advantage of a corner kick, Valencia greeted several defensive players: "Guys, we are always under pressure, no way. If this continues, they may even the score if they don't keep it all."

Maguire frowned: "But we don't have a big chance now, their offense is too fierce."

Kanter is also a little worried: "Since Pogba entered the offense, Manchester City's midfield has run more smoothly. My teammate of the national team is not easy. He is the kind of person who can seize a chance and score goals."

Valencia thought for a while: "In this way, when you have a chance to clear the siege, don't always give it to the captain in the midfield. Although he passes the ball very well, physical confrontation is not his strong point. You can pass the ball to the wing , Let me or Mendy handle it, divert the opponent's attention, and then pass the ball to the captain, it will be better."

"It makes sense!" Everyone nodded, "Then when you are defending later, the two of you should be ready to respond. Don't worry about getting behind, we will go to the side to make up for it."

In fact, this is not Valencia's personal idea, but Jin Taige's idea.

In a dead ball opportunity a few minutes ago, Kintag called Valencia who came to the sidelines to find water to drink. After a simple face-to-face instruction, Valencia understood and gave Kintag's instructions to everyone.

Now the game has progressed to the 42nd minute, and this is a corner kick by Manchester City.

This time Kompany pressed up, ready to fight for a header, and Manchester City also hoped to equalize the score at the last moment of the first half.

Seat D looked at the situation in the penalty area, and then made a gesture of the number "3", and the Manchester City players immediately understood.

"Manchester City's corner kick came out! The ball was high and floating, and went straight to the back point!"

"Sure enough, it was Kompany! The Belgian's header! Maguire took off at the same time, and he was the first to catch the ball!"

"Maguire did a great job! The ball was kicked out! Bailey kicked Aguero first and kicked the ball to the right!"

"Valencia received the ball! Sterling's tackle! Valencia sprinted in a straight line and resisted Sterling!"

"Now Manchester City's wing defense is empty! Valencia dribbles the ball in at high speed!"

"Valencia was once dubbed by Manchester United fans as 'No Shooting', which means that Valencia likes to dribble and pass the ball, but not to shoot. Now he dribbles forward at high speed and has passed the midfield! Look! Come on, he wants to make a bottom pass!"

"Manchester City left-back Kyle Walker is afraid to step forward, and there is a super fast Mbappe next to him! If he goes up to grab Valencia, then Valencia is likely to pass the ball to Mbappe, which will cause a lot of trouble. It's single-handed!"

"At this time, there is only one person who still has a chance to defend, and that is Pogba!"

"Just now Pogba was chasing back at high speed. He was originally defending in the midfield, but now there is no one on the wing, so he can only quickly come to the wing to stop Valencia from advancing!"

"It seems that Valencia has no chance to go forward... He chose a cross! The ball landed at Carrick's feet!"

"Carrick has nothing in front of him, and Ali is in the penalty area in front of him. Will he choose to pass to Ali again?"

"Carrick's pass the ball in front of him, but there's no one in front?"

"Lingard cuts in at high speed! He kicks and shoots! The ball goes in!!!"

"At the end of the first half, Manchester United scored again!"

"This attack is really beautiful, Maguire's clearance, Carrick's pass, Dele Alli's screen, Lingard's goal, it's all about the cooperation between England players! I'm already excited about the upcoming World Cup. Full of expectations!"
