During the break, countless TV viewers looked at the scores played on the screen, and many people couldn't believe their eyes. Although Manchester City was in the limelight recently and even beat Arsenal in the last league, in general, people are more willing to regard this game as a big explosion of Manchester City's character or a bad day for Arsenal. Obviously, this score is not a true reflection of the strength of the two teams. This time, Manchester City challenged Manchester United away, and almost most people are optimistic about the home team Manchester United, believing that Manchester United has a high chance of winning, at least, they will not lose at home.

But now, seeing this score completely makes some people feel confused! What's wrong with this world? Manchester United actually made Manchester City play 1:3 at its home court? Are you sure today is not April Fool's Day? This score is too incredible!

At this time, the players on both sides had returned to the locker room. The court was empty, and only the sound made by the fans on both sides in the stands was huge.

Some commentators who are closer to Manchester United also lamented at this time: "For Manchester United, this game can even be said to have ended early. In the first half, except for the direct set-piece score, they had few opportunities. Instead, Manchester City made a wonderful offense! Is this still Manchester City? Their recent performance is simply amazing! Under the leadership of Zhang Yang, this team played a wonderful game!"

At this time, Eddie Gray, a commentator of Sky TV, also gave his comments on Zhang Yang's performance in the first half. "In the first half, although Zhang Yang did not score a goal, I would say that this was the best game Zhang Yang played, and it was even as outstanding as he scored four goals alone with Arsenal! Although Zhang Yang did not score, he brought Manchester City's offense alive! Other players in Manchester City were driven by him! This is the role of a real superstar!"

At this time, some reporters have already begun to prepare for writing the manuscript of this game. Before the game, in everyone's prediction, there is almost no suspense for Manchester United to win this "Manchester derby"!

But now...

At the end of the half-time game, there are not many teams that can lead Manchester United 3-1 away from home, even in the entire European football world. This is when the giants are in a surprisingly good condition.

Looking at the score at the scene, some reporters shook their heads. They couldn't figure out what happened to Manchester City in the last two games. Why was it so excited all of a sudden? It was very stance like "whoever you see, destroy whoever you see?"

Manchester City's locker room.

Compared to the atmosphere in the Manchester United locker room, it is much easier here. Most people are doing things they are interested in, some are listening to music, some are talking to others, and some are resting.

Zhang Yang was chatting with Kompani, and both of them suddenly burst into laughter.

In fact, they were talking about Manchester United's poor first half performance and bursts of laughter from it.

Although the game is still 45 minutes away, the three-to-one score is really a great thing to put Manchester United in the top.

In short, in a word, if the atmosphere in Manchester United's locker room is so depressing that it makes people breathless, then Manchester City is relaxed and laughing.

Seeing that everyone was almost relaxed and the halftime was almost over, Mark Hughes clapped his hands and signaled that he had something to say.

"Everyone did a good job in the first half, and the result... To be honest, even I didn't expect it to be able to score three goals in the first half and lead two goals, which is great! Very good! We have to continue playing like this in the second half and continue to put pressure on Manchester United's goal! We can't give them any chance to counterattack. Once Manchester United plays with momentum, we will be very difficult, so in the second half, we just need to play like that in the first half!"

In fact, Mark Hughes and Hughes have been thinking about it just now, that is, whether to be conservative in the second half or continue to attack. However, Mark Hughes knew Manchester United's strength and he was afraid of Manchester United's attacking ability. It was precisely because of his fear that he knew very well that if Manchester City defended the game to the beginning of the second half, if it was not done well, Manchester United would poke several big holes in succession.

Therefore, Mark Hughes finally turned his choice of balance to continue attacking. Compared with his defensive ability, Manchester City's offensive ability is stronger. After all, with Zhang Yang and Robinho, Manchester City's attack line is also luxurious! Even compared with Manchester United, it is not inferior.

"After the second half of the game begins, Manchester United will definitely attack with all their might. In such a situation, we need to attack! Don't be afraid of losing the ball, because facing such an opponent, you will still lose the ball even if you retreat to defend!"

After all this, Mark Hughes had nothing to say. At this time, before it was time to play, he allowed the players to continue to move freely.

Manchester City is a little relaxed and freehand, while the storm and rain on Manchester United are not over yet.

During the entire halftime break, Ferguson was not only cursing people but also constantly setting up second-half tactics. His mouth was not so much a hair dryer as a machine gun. The whole team was scolded by him.

At this time, assistant coach Mike Ferran heard a mess of walking sound from the corridor outside. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch, knowing that this was the Manchester City player who had come out of the visiting team's locker room.

McFerran signaled to Ferguson, who was still swearing, that it was almost time to play.

Ferguson also raised his wrist to look at the watch, and then, the old Scottish man looked serious and looked around everyone, and said, "Remember, there are still forty-five minutes. In forty-five minutes, I will watch from the sidelines to see if you are men or cowards! If you win the game, you will have half a day off tomorrow. If you can't take it, just wait!"

No one would regard Ferguson's words as a warning, and everyone felt nervous. They knew that if they couldn't win this game, at least, their lives would be very difficult before the next game.

Manchester City players are already on the court, but their opponents in today's game, the home team Manchester United has not yet come out.

At this time, Manchester United came out.

Manchester United players walking out of the players' corridor all have the same expression, a serious face and a stern face.

Seeing this scene, many people in the press room showed knowing smiles. They knew very well about Sir Ferguson's style. Obviously, during the halftime break, Manchester United players had a difficult life. Although they didn't know what Ferguson said, they must have scolded everyone!

In the second half, Manchester United's defense was still very strict.

In the 51st minute of the game, Zhang Yang was overturned to the ground by Park Ji-sung.

The referee awarded a free kick, but did not play cards with Park Ji-sung, which aroused strong dissatisfaction from Manchester City.

Modric was also shown a yellow card for protesting to the referee.

Then, Elano took the set ball, Zhang Yang headed the ball in the penalty area, and the football was firmly held by Van der Sar.

Then, Van der Sar kicked the ball with big feet.

The football was pushed back to Manchester United's halftime by Marklele. After Evra stopped the ball with her chest, she saw Robinho coming up to press, and he turned around and passed the football back to goalkeeper Van der Sar.

Zhang Yang immediately rushed up and made a move to enter the penalty area to cut off the ball at Van der Sar. Behind him, Wright Phillips and Ellano also pressed up as if they had received a signal.

Ferguson on the sidelines saw this scene and began to think. It seemed that Manchester City was not conservative in the second half. Their pressing was fierce and they did not mean to be strictly guarded. After the old Scotsman figured out Manchester City's tactics, he immediately made a decision.

Van der Sar naturally would not give Zhang Yang a chance to intercept the ball. He kicked the ball back to Evra when the two were still ten meters away.

Evra looked ahead and drove the ball out with a big foot.

After Cristiano Ronaldo stopped the ball in his chest, he controlled the ball under his feet, and suddenly accelerated, dribbled the ball from Zabaleta, pretending to continue dribbling the ball, and suddenly made a straight pass.

After receiving the ball, Rooney directly took the ball out.

Berbatov still received the ball under Dunn's defense, and used his skills and experience to hold the ball firmly at his feet, waiting for his teammates to come forward to receive it.

Dunn tried hard to intercept the ball behind Berbatov, but his position was gone. Unless he made a foul, he would definitely not be able to intercept the ball.

However, at this position, if you commit a foul, Dunn will definitely get a yellow card, and the problem is that he already has a yellow card on his body. Therefore, Dunn is a little timid.

Berbatov seemed to see Dunn's thoughts, and he suddenly squeezed away Dunn away, pulled the ball and turned around, and forced his foot to shoot.

Hit high!

Although this attack did not really pose a threat to Manchester City's goal, Ferguson on the sidelines still stood up to applaud.

After seeing that Manchester City did not seem to have the intention of shrinking defense, Ferguson was in a good mood. What he was most worried about was that Manchester City would set up an iron barrel formation. In that case, although Manchester City would have a small threat to Manchester United's defense line, it would be very difficult for Manchester United to score a goal.

As long as Manchester City is not an iron barrel team, Manchester United will have a chance to score!

In this attack by Manchester United, the sequelae of the yellow card that Cristiano Ronaldo gave Dunn the first half was reflected. The Manchester City captain began to be timid when defending.

This is a defensive taboo.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, and Berbatov are superstars who have their own strength to change the situation on the court. Dunn's defensive mentality is exactly where Manchester United can use it.

Moreover, not only Dunn has a yellow card, but also a yellow card on Manchester City's other central defender Kompany. Both of the team's central defenders have yellow cards on them, which is definitely a huge hidden danger.

The game ended in 55 minutes and Manchester United attacked.

Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball, and it was Marklele who defended him.

Facing the French veteran, Cristiano Ronaldo kept cycling under his feet, but Marc Lele was completely unmoved. It was not the first time he and Cristiano Ronaldo had fought. He was also quite familiar with Cristiano Ronaldo's technical characteristics.

When Cristiano Ronaldo saw that Marklele was not fooled, he continued to move his feet several times, and then suddenly wiped the ball to the left. At the same time, he looked like he was about to start from that side, Marklele immediately moved the center of gravity to get stuck. However, as soon as he moved, he knew that he had been fooled because Cristiano Ronaldo took back his castration, followed and continued to move, dribbled the ball from the other side, and accelerated and swept over.

If it was Marklele at his peak, he might be able to retract the center and quickly stick it on to defend again, but now it is Marklele, and can only watch Cristiano Ronaldo ride the ball and sweep by.

After passing Marklele, amid the cheers of Manchester United fans at Old Trafford Stadium, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through Richards' defense again, and then he dribbled the ball and pretended to cut inward, which immediately forced Dunn to come up to defend.

Cristiano Ronaldo faces Dunn, and he sways left and right, looking for a chance to shoot.

Dunn was so nervous that he was shaken by Cristiano Ronaldo that he didn't dare to take the shovel.

Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo found the shot and he shot directly. It was a low flat ball, and the ball was very fast and swept towards the goal quickly against the turf.

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart had already made a move to fall to the ground to save the ball. Unexpectedly, a man in the crowd in the penalty area suddenly stretched out his foot, and the football immediately changed direction and flew to the opposite direction of Joe Hart's pounce and quickly rolled into the net.
