Chapter 117 Manchester Derby 2
"Both sides have deployed the strongest lineup today. The home team Manchester United has Mourinho's standard 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is De Gea, and the defense is Ashley Young, Rojo, Smalling and Varen. West Asia, the midfielder is Matic and Herrera, the midfielder is Lingard, the left winger is Rashford, the right winger is Martial, and the center is Lukaku. I have to say that Manchester United In fact, both sides of the defense line are cameos, and the strength of the central defender partner is also average, but the integrity of this Manchester United team is very strong. Relying on the protection of the two midfielders, the defense line is still capable of fighting."

"Manchester City's starting lineup, Ederson in goal, Walker, Otamendi, Stones and Delph in defense, De Bruyne, David Silva and Fernandinho in midfield , Wang Yi, Sterling and Aguero in the frontcourt. And Kompany, who just returned from injury, entered the squad."

The player tunnel at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home court, is very interesting. It is not in the middle of one side like most teams' home courts, but in a corner.

Wang Yi stood at the end of the team, and Manchester United stood at the end with Lukaku.

Wang didn't feel much about Lukaku, and looked forward after a glance.

This made Lukaku very upset and felt that he was underestimated.

Lukaku, Rashford, and Martial have not scored more than 18 league goals in total. Wang Yi naturally looks down on these three.

On the contrary, Salah, who was recently transferred from Liverpool, is in great condition. He has scored 17 goals now, only behind Kane with 18 goals and Wang Yi with 19 goals.

Now these three are basically firmly occupying the top three in the scorer list. No. 4 in the scorer list is Vardy. He only has 11 goals, and the rest are not too far behind him.

It's just that Salah's Liverpool ranks fifth, Kane's Tottenham ranks sixth, and neither team is in the top four.

Only Manchester City, where Wang Yi, No. 1 in the scorer list, is firmly occupying the No. 1 throne.

"Wang, this year's Golden Boy Award belongs to you!"

"Raheem, why did you think of this before the game?"

"No, ease the tense atmosphere."

"The Manchester Derby is generally not as strong as the Double Reds."

"Anyway, it's also a derby, and you also know the things about the boss and Mourinho. The slobbering and so on, the media is hot on this topic, and it will naturally be very lively when it is reflected on the court. After a while, the actions may be very lively. Big, but this is Manchester United's home court, so it depends on the referee."

"What are you afraid of? Our strength is obviously superior, and the kick is over."

"Wang, I like your attitude, it's strong enough!"

"Okay, it's time to play, let's go!"

Wang Yi and Sterling spoke just now, and their voices were completely normal. Although the scene was very noisy, Lukaku on the side listened to it and was very angry. Manchester United was so looked down upon by the other party.

Anger was burning in his heart, and a fighting spirit immediately emerged.

The game started and Manchester United kicked off.

Lukaku passed the ball back to Lingard, who was naturally pulled wide.

Wang subconsciously glanced at Lukaku.

The pace of the game was not as fast as expected, mainly because Mourinho was still cautious. He knew that Manchester United could not compare to Manchester City in terms of strength on paper. In addition, Mourinho had become more conservative in recent years, so it was reflected on the pitch. That is, Manchester United played very cautiously at home. Even if Lukaku wanted to attack, he did not dare to move forward easily. This was all agreed before the game.

15 minutes into the game, both sides were just testing each other. Manchester City had an attack, but it was weak and was easily hugged by De Gea.

And Manchester United just tried an attack with a cross from the wing.

The two sides did not play fiercely at all.

But the Old Trafford fans still cheered for their home team.

Wang Yi received a pass from David Silva again. This time, he was in the middle. He ran to the middle just now. He was facing two defensive midfielders. Naturally, Wang Yi would not play a one-on-two. Hand it over to Aguero, and then run to the front left. Aguero knocks the ball back to Wang Yi. Wang Yi takes the ball to the right of Matic and is about to pass. Matic is tall and burly. Turning around slowly, he reached out to pull, but Wang Yi's speed was too fast, and Matic felt like he had caught a lump of air.

He could only look back and watch Wang Yi single out Manchester United's defense.

"Beautiful! Wang Yi passed Matic!"

When Luo Huo saw Wang Yi rushing over, he rushed forward without even thinking about it.

"Stay on Marcos!"

Smalling has more experience, and he knows that when facing such a speed player, it is very likely that he will pass it by using strength.

As soon as Luo Huo came up, before he stopped, Wang Yi spun around and wiped it away easily.

Luo Huo stopped suddenly and wanted to turn around, but the rhythm was completely out of order, and he fell directly to the ground.

Smalling was a little nervous, he was afraid of such a fast forward.

Wang Yi honestly felt Smalling's nervousness. As soon as he faced Smalling, he glanced at De Gea and thought of what Guardiola said.

"De Gea reacts quickly, but is slow to get off the ground, so he likes to block the ball with his feet. If he hits a half-high ball, it is actually difficult for De Gea, especially when he hits a half-high ball close to the goal post. Observe the position. De Gea Gea conceded a lot of goals this season either because of refraction or half-high goals."

Wang Yi pretended to want fried meatballs to pass, but as soon as the ball hit his left foot, he flicked his ankle and kicked towards the goal.

De Gea didn't expect it at all. He expected that Wang Yi would have to use his right foot no matter what he faced, but he didn't expect Wang Yi to be so bold and directly use his non-dominant foot.

But the ball went straight to the point between De Gea's hands and feet.

De Gea judged that the ball was not a dead corner or a high ball, so he wanted to use his feet directly, but he couldn't reach it.

The ball was too fast and very close to the goal, De Gea didn't make a save at all.

At 25 minutes, Wang Yishou opened the scoring.

"Wang Yiben's 20th league goal of the season is also two consecutive seasons in which he has scored 20 goals in the league. Such a player is only 19 years old. This is an unprecedented achievement."

"Wang Yishou opened the scoring, 1-0, and Manchester City took the lead. This goal was Wang Yi single-handedly hitting Huanglong in the middle. Wonderful!"

Wang Yi turned his head to look at De Gea, then ran to the corner flagpole, held the corner flagpole, and looked towards the stands.

All Manchester City fans.

All kinds of smiling faces, all kinds of excited expressions.

Wang Yi felt extremely refreshed.

When returning to position ready to re-tee off.

Wang Yi saw the scene where Mourinho kicked away the water bottle placed by the sideline.

Pogba, who was on the bench behind him, looked at Mourinho in disgust. This scene was also seen by Wang Yi. It can only be said that Wang Yi has good eyes.

"This is not the right situation for Manchester United."
