The sixth professional football player who started with Manchester United

Chapter 55 Manchester City 2
Soon the game started at the referee's whistle.

Both sides were very cautious after the start of the game. In fact, Ferguson’s thoughts can be seen from Manchester United’s change of formation from 433 to 4222. It shows that Ferguson’s offensive strength against Manchester City is still very recognized from the heart. , In addition, today's goalkeeper is Lindegard who usually has little chance to play, so there is no problem in choosing to be cautious after the game started.

However, the performance of Manchester City is a bit surprising. After all, it is their own home game. After the start, Manchester City's performance also exceeded many people's expectations.

The pace of the game was not fast, and neither side had a shot in the first 10 minutes, which fully explained the dullness of the game.

However, Manchester City is their home court after all. Amid the tireless cheers of tens of thousands of home fans, Manchester City also began to slowly speed up, and the pace of the game became faster and faster.

As a coach from Italy, Mancini is not the kind of coach who pays attention to defense.

In the 17th minute of the game, David Silva broke through Rafael's defense from the wing and sent a ground ball pass. The pass was also crossed across the penalty area. In the end, no one touched the ball. Manchester United Also escaped.

To be honest, David Silva's pass was not only thought of by Manchester United's defensive players, but even Aguero and Dzeko, who followed up in the middle, didn't expect it. Both of them reacted a bit slower.

And Manchester United is not to be outdone.

In the 28th minute of the game, Manchester United’s continuous passing in the midfield immediately tore apart Manchester City’s defense in the middle, and then Dabao’s kick from the outside of the penalty area bombarded the goal, but the football hit the post and popped out of the bottom line .

Dabao is also a little helpless, there is no way, it is not a [-]% hit rate.

This shot is also Manchester United's best chance so far in the first half.

For a while, the game became less boring. As the pace of the game accelerated, the offense of both sides was also very impressive.

However, both Joe Hart and Lindegaard have played very well so far today.

Speaking of Lindegard, it caused some controversy when he joined Manchester United.

Lindegard from Denmark, as a goalkeeper, is naturally compared with Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper Schmeichel, and it is precisely Schmeichel who said in an interview that Lindegard is not Have the ability to join Manchester United.

Lindegard was born in the Danish team Odense, but Lindegard, who was born in 1984, failed to get a stable playing time in Odense until he was 25 years old, and was later loaned to Aalesund. Made a name for himself.

It was precisely because of his performance in Alesund that Alesund signed him permanently.

In 2010, Manchester United announced the signing of Lindegaard.

However, Lindegaard's Premier League debut was on October 2011, 10, when Manchester United played against Norwich City.

Back to this game, in the 35th minute of the game, David Silva dribbled the ball laterally from the wing, and suddenly sent a through kick. Aguero succeeded in countering offside and instantly formed a one-shot, but the shot pushed to the far corner was blocked. Lindegard, who fell to the ground, hit the bottom line with one hand.

Ferdinand also gave Lindegaard a hug after he got up.

Because the ball was his responsibility, it caused Aguero to form a single pole.

Manchester United also escaped once again.

The huge sighs of the Manchester City fans in the stands also showed their regret that the shot failed to result in a goal. What they did not expect was that Manchester City, who missed the single opportunity, was soon punished.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Barry made a pass error due to the joint press of Dabao and Carrick. Carrick took the football directly and sent it to Dabao.

Dabao and Yaya Toure rushed to the football at the same time. In the competition of speed, Dabao's super explosive power gave him the upper hand, and he took the first step to control the ball. Yaya Toure lost the ball because of his rushing too hard. For Dabao's defense, in this way, the moment Manchester City switched from offense to defense, the two defensive generals in the center lost their positions, and Manchester City's defense in the center suddenly appeared in a vacuum.

Seeing this situation, Dabao did not hand over the ball, but drove the ball forward at high speed.

Until Nasri from the side came to defend, Dabao sent a long pass to the front of Valencia. After taking advantage of his speed, Valencia took the ball first and sent a ball without making any adjustments. Foot cross.

Van Persie followed up with a header in the middle.

Joe Hart's reaction was also very fast, blocking the ball with a side throw that fell to the ground.

Kompany kicked the ball out of the penalty area in front of Rooney, but the football was caught by Carrick. After stopping the ball in the chest, Carrick saw that there was no chance and passed the ball across to Dabao.

At this time, there was no defensive player in front of Dabao. Seeing such an opportunity, Dabao did not hesitate at all. He pushed the ball forward hard, then adjusted his pace and then hit the goal hard.

At this time, Joe Hart had just got up from the ground, and his line of sight was just blocked by his teammate Talic. He didn't see Dabao's shot clearly. When he saw it, the football was already flying towards the goal at high speed.

In his haste, Joe Hart had no time to hesitate and could only make an instinctive side dive, but this kind of save was purely a gamble, and the result was without any surprises.

The football flew into the goal after it passed Joe Hart's hands.

1 to 0, Manchester United took a one-goal lead in the 44th minute of the game.

After scoring the goal, Dabao was also very excited and ran to the sidelines to give Ferguson a hug. Ferguson also had a very happy smile on his face. In Ferguson's view, the most successful thing about Manchester United this season is not the record, but getting Dabao.

He believes that no matter who takes over Manchester United, as long as Dabao can maintain his current growth rate and competitive status, Manchester United's midfielder will not need to worry about competitiveness in the Premier League in a few years.

After a while, other Manchester United players also gathered around, while Mancini on the other side frowned a little. To be honest, he had studied Manchester United, and he also knew Dabao's performance this season, but now halftime The game is about to pass, and Mancini felt that he did not pay enough attention to Dabao in terms of the entire first half of the game.

At the moment when Dabao scored, only Manchester United fans were cheering in the entire Etihad Stadium, while tens of thousands of fans of the home team Manchester City instantly lost their voices. Of course, this silence only lasted for a few seconds. To be honest, if Even neutral fans will cheer for Dabao's long shot.
