Manchester City, 433.

Goalkeeper: Edson 86.

Midfielders: David Silva 85, De Jong 82, De Bruyne 90.

Forwards: Sterling 86, Sergio Aguero 87, Chen Feng 82.

This time, Guardiola did not stick to the 442 two-center formation, he came up with 433, the most used formation this season!

In terms of lineup selection, compared to the first leg, only the central midfield has changed, Zinchenko, De Jong, and De Ligt started first!

Mendy, Laporte, Fernandinho are on the bench, and Majin is also on the bench, exchanging with Jesus and others how to pass the time with the substitutes!

In charge of the Manchester City derby is Andre Marina!

When the whistle sounds, the much-anticipated derby battle officially begins!

......

"Here and here!"

It opened with Manchester United in possession and the ball swung back and forth at the feet of the defensive five.

Pogba in midfield can't bear the loneliness, but wants to show his skills under the noses of the 72,000 people on the scene, and after asking for the ball, he kicks straight away!

Boom! Intercepted by a defender, the ball is lost!

After losing the ball, Pogba crossed his waist, threw his hands, sighed, this set of actions, all in one go!

See what you can do? What skills? A knack for complaining? Solskjaer, who was standing on the sidelines, was complaining madly in his heart!

Manchester City organized the attack, Manchester United's defensive formation of the five defenders is still not weak, did not let Manchester City's attack easily succeed!

In the 11th minute of the game, Pogba picked out a cross and Marcus Rashford's volley was blocked by the defender!

Outside, or Manchester United's ball!

Manchester United organized a second attack, looking for Pogba, the French midfielder took the ball on the left flank, directly shot from distance and hit a surprise!

The ball passes between the defenders, smashes it on the ground, jumps high and goes straight to the goal!

Edson moved quickly and stretched out his hands to collect the ball in his arms!

That was the end of the exclamations from the Reds fans, with Pogba's long-range shot not helping the team open the situation.

The game came to the 16th minute, this time it was Manchester City's attack, De Bruyne's long pass was transferred to the left wing, and Raheem Sterling took the ball and cut inside!

The five defenders divided into two defenses, and Damian and Ashley Young rushed together, but they couldn't prevent the nimble Sterling!

After entering the box, shoot low!

Smalling, who was only one word away from Sterling, stood in the middle and took his leg in a slight gear, causing the ball to change the line, which startled De Gea behind him!

Fortunately, his attention was very concentrated, and he firmly saved the ball in front of him, and did not let the tragedy happen!

One minute later, Manchester United's counter-attack came, De Gea sent a long ball from the back, Pogba firmly controlled the ball, turned to avoid the defender's steal, and pushed the attack!

Pogba is a man who is easily injured, has a big temper, and wants a high salary, of course, these shortcomings are many, but his skills under his feet are indeed good!

Manchester United's attack was carried out in an orderly manner under his organization!

Push through the half, on the left side, observe the position of my teammates, and send a clever straight plug!

Hit Manchester City's defence with precision!

None of the Manchester City defenders judged the landing point of the ball in advance, which allowed Jesse Lingard in the box to find an opportunity, plug it in, and shoot!

Pads the ball towards the goal!

-[Beautiful! 】

-【Good ball!

This shot drew cheers from the Red Devils fans, but the cheers just started and fell!

Jesse Lingard's shooting was not perfect, and the pad shot deflected out of the goal!

Fork the waist, shake the hand, sigh... Pogba is expressing his displeasure again, isn't it a waste of his opportunity? Almost got an assist, grass!

After Jesse Lingard got up, he shook his head helplessly and gave Pogba a thumbs up!

The battle continued, and in the 19th minute, Manchester City played a sharp cooperation in front, and Chen Feng's last kick was to find Sterling!

Sterling went deep into the hinterland and sent an inverted triangle return pass, and Aguero followed up with a blast that did not suppress the ball!

Slightly above the beam!

De Gea scored Smalling, Smalling gave Lindelof on the side, and the Manchester City Trident rushed quickly and launched the press!

Lindelof unhurriedly handed the ball to Fred, who came to receive it, and defused the trident's pressing!

Then, Fred was also pressed by Manchester City players, and it was De Jong and De Bruyne who forced him, and the double force almost broke the ball!

It's just that Pogba's timely arrival defused this crisis!

Fred gave a pick pass before falling to the ground, and Pogba kept picking the ball and picked it to Damian who inserted it on the side!

The future Inter big man will take the ball and rush!

Three steps later, it was surrounded and passed across Pereira!

At this time, Pereira did not have the strength to threaten the ball, and could only do some global receptions, and the real attack had to depend on Pogba!

It's just that the French midfielder is not on this side for the time being, helplessly passing back, ready to plan for the long term.

Time goes by minute by minute, no one can break the deadlock on the field for the time being, Manchester United only wants to rely on Pogba's single-core drive, but the latter's play is not very stable!

Manchester City has a dual-core drive here, but with a little bit of luck, De Gea is in too good shape!

Until half-time, neither side could get a good chance and could not complete the goal!

It seems that the best chance is Jesse Lingard's cushion shot, Pogba passed very well, but unfortunately the former missed the empty goal and missed the opportunity to score!

......

After returning from half-time, the dull situation began to give birth to a hint of change!

The specific changes are reflected in Manchester City!

Blue Moon 9 appeared, and Haaland, who is almost two meters tall, is eager to try and smile!

He was replaced by David Silva!

Immediately, Chen Feng and Sterling's positions were slightly retreated, and they formed four midfielders with Shuangde, and the positions in the front court were given to Aguero and Haaland!

This is a double center system!

Solskjaer saw this substitution intention at a glance, but he seriously instructed the back five at halftime, I think the opponent's double-point strategy is difficult to play too well, right?

To the disappointment of the manager, his trusted five-back tactics could not withstand the onslaught of Manchester City and slowly fell apart....
