Mourinho didn't give it in vain. After halftime, he decisively removed Mkhitaryan and Lingard and replaced them with Herrera and Rashford.

With a baby face, the 28-year-old Spanish midfielder Ander Herrera was transferred from Bilbao in 2014 and was worth 29 million pounds. He was a member of the famous "Yijianlian" that year.

part.

After Ferguson and before Mourinho, Herrera was an important part of Van Gaal's 'big circle tactics', and he even squeezed out Angel Di Maria.

19-year-old Marcus Rashford is a product of Manchester United's youth training. He was promoted to the first team by Louis van Gaal in January this year. He scored 8 goals and 4 assists in half a season. He was nicknamed "Master La".

He and Iheanacho of Manchester City are collectively known as the "Prince of Manchester City".

Both Herrera and Rashford have a strong imprint of Van Gaal, so not starting the game is not because they are not good, but because Mourinho does not want to take advantage of Van Gaal. However, the home score fell behind in the first half, and Mourinho could not help being willful again.

, recovering the score was the top priority, so the two came on the stage, replacing the disappointing Mkhitaryan and Lingard.

Modern football tactics are all interlocking. Herrera and Rashford helped Manchester United stabilize the midfield, forming an offensive and defensive relationship with Manchester City on the wings. Valencia and Luke Shaw were the two full-backs.

Just live.

With the wide lanes open, Fellaini is no longer unable to control the situation in the midfield. He can safely squat in front of the center back and protect the front edge of the penalty area, which is his best defense.

In this way, Pogba is freed. He is freed from the chaotic defense, and he can fully concentrate on confronting Tintin and Silva, and allows Manchester United to maintain continuous counterattacks.

If something isn't broken, don't fix it. Except for the conceded goal in the first half, Manchester City played smoothly. Guardiola had no reason to make adjustments. It was the most reasonable choice to continue to focus on me in the second half.

But after Mourinho's masterful adjustments allowed Manchester United to return to normal, things started to go wrong, and Manchester City ran into problems here.

With just over a month of coaching, the entire Manchester City team has yet to fully grasp the essence of Guardiola's ball-handling, passing and cutting tactics, and the existing player configuration is far from the level expected by Guardiola's requirements.

Take Iheanacho as an example. He is a talent-hungry type who relies entirely on his precocious personal skills and physical flexibility to make waves. But Iheanacho's tactical reading ability is so poor that people want to beat him, and his movement without the ball is basically impossible.

It's just a joke.

Guardiola's ball control tactics are very high-end, and are essentially forward-less with a vague frontcourt position. Technically, players are required to have extremely high ability to catch and deliver the ball, while tactically, they require thorough reading ability and excellent

Sense of location.

Especially on the forward line, there is simply no room for players who only have fixed positions. You said that among the three Barcelona champions Zhuo Yang, Messi and Huluwa who won six championships back then, who was the center and who was the winger? Ibrahimovic is always free because he can only play center.

Outside Barcelona's tactical system.

Therefore, Iheanacho, who can also only play center, is not Guardiola's dream man, and even Nolito is just a backup candidate if the summer transfer is not ideal.

In the first half, Manchester United abandoned both sides as a courtesy. Manchester City played smoothly, and naturally no problems were exposed. Only when the tide went out did you know who was not wearing pants. Manchester United returned to normal in the second half. The fierce and violent regional restrictions divided and locked Manchester City, and the game became

In a brain-burning situation where the two sides' tactical abilities are compared, those with insufficient IQ will naturally be in trouble.

Iheanacho's true colors were revealed. Under the pressure of Manchester United's midfield and backcourt, he completely lost his position. He looked very active, but he was either competing for position with Sterling or interfering with De Bruyne.

Manchester City's stubborn passing and cutting in the frontcourt was half suppressed by Manchester United, and the other half was disrupted by Iheanacho. Manchester City was extremely passive in the second half, just like a replica of the first half.

Guardiola is a perfectionist and he couldn't stand this. In the 53rd minute, he decisively replaced Iheanacho with 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder Fernando Regues.

Fernando became famous in Porto and was worth 13.5 million pounds when he came to Manchester City in 2014. His type is basically a poor man's version of Busquets.

After Iheanacho was replaced, the chaos in Manchester City's midfield and frontcourt improved. Fernando also increased the control of the midfield, but he still couldn't take advantage of the courageous Manchester United.

The game actually fell into Manchester United's rhythm, which was also Mourinho's rhythm.

In the 60th minute, Guardiola replaced Nolito, who had lost his tactical role, with deputy Zabaleta. Manchester City only had Sterling as a nominal forward on the field.

It's not that you don't understand, the world is changing rapidly. At this time, on the turf of Old Trafford, Manchester United was vigorously playing various offensive routines, and Manchester City set up a bus in the backcourt.

As soon as the jersey is changed, there are thousands of comments. If Mourinho plays a big game, people will say that bad habits die hard and are anti-football. Guardiola does this because he is good at adapting and does not stick to small details.

Guardiola also had no choice but to do this. He only had so many people at hand. If he didn't do this, would he be missed by Manchester United?

Guardiola needs suitable players to fill in the blanks for his tactics. Without competent answerers, he can only save the game first. After all, defending and counterattacking is the simplest way.

After 70 minutes, the shooting ratio between the two sides was even at 18:18. Fortunately, Stones and Otamendi did not make the same mistakes as Blind and Bailly in the first half. God bless Bravo and he did not take another shot. The score

It still remains unchanged at 2:1 for Manchester City.

Bravo is also Guardiola's backup tire. Although he has good passing and receiving skills with his feet and a large range of control, both of which meet Guardiola's requirements, as a goalkeeper, the unique skills of his two palms are always

Ultimately, Bravo is relatively mediocre precisely in this regard.

Otherwise, he would not have quickly lost to Ter Stegen, who was only 22 years old at the time, in the Barcelona goalkeeper battle in the 2014-15 season. And Bravo is 33 years old this year, so it is obvious that he is just

Gua Shuai's transitional figure.

By the 80th minute of the game, Ding Ding and Silva had become defensive midfielders, and the Manchester City soldiers tried their best to keep Derby 3 points.

Jose Mourinho, the real man, would not give up. He replaced left back Luke Shaw with France's 21-year-old forward Anthony Martial in the 81st minute in a desperate move to win the day.

Gambling is like walking a tightrope. If you press hard, you have to risk the wind leaking from the rear defense.

In the 85th minute, Sterling, who was roaming on the right, seized the opportunity of Manchester United's side leakage, and David Silva's counterattack pass was just right.

A single move! Sterling ran like a gust of wind, and beating De Gea was as satisfying as a Beijing veteran beating a pot in winter.

Reflexively pushed the goal from a wide angle in the penalty area.

The football slides past...

Zhuo Yang: "..."

All the fans were stunned by Sterling's wit. He is really a happy boy.

Gua Shuai almost vomited blood, and his brain was suddenly burned with anger. Such a great opportunity to seal the victory in adversity, don't you feel bad for me, your happiness is based on my heart disease, you know?

Stomping his feet, shaking his arms and turning his head, he happened to see Zhuo Yang standing on the side with his shoulders hunched and enjoying himself. Gua Shuaishuai didn't say anything: "In such a crucial game, you know how to watch the show?"

I don’t remember anything. Guardiola dreams of returning to Barcelona in the 2010-11 season, and Zhuo Yang is his most reliable pillar.

"Why are you fucking laughing? Why don't you hurry up and replace Sterling with me? Quick, quick, quick..."

Zhuoyang knew that Guashuai was confused at this time, but he was not confused at all. He didn't even lose his mind for a second. Zhuoyang teleported to the referee's stand with a 'whoosh'.

By the time Guardiola realized that Zhuo Yang was not qualified to play, Manchester City's No. 18 was already handing over on the sideline.

Sterling knelt down on one knee towards Zhuoyang, all 76,000 Old Trafford fans stood up, and the Red Devils and Blue Moon sang in unison.
Chapter completed!
