Etihad Stadium.

When the starter of Manchester City and Manchester United appeared, Guardiola was the focus of the sidelines. The fleet's ability to take advantage of the situation is undoubtedly torn off Guardiola's strong man's cloak at the public opinion level.

But Mourinho's vision is locked in Manchester City's starting lineup.

The expression is calm and the heart is surprised!

What does it mean?

Guaba, you just look down on me so much?!

Guardiola also looked at Manchester United's starting lineup and cursed in his heart: Mu Gui, you are so shameless!

The two starting players of the two teams shook hands before the game, and both sides were full of fighting and did not dare to relax at all.

"Good evening for all the audience. Welcome to the Manchester City Derby staged at the Etihad Stadium in the 16th round of the Premier League this season!

Manchester United, which has won 15 consecutive games, is striving for a new winning streak, while Manchester City is already 13 points behind the top. If the gap with Manchester United cannot be narrowed at home in today's derby game, then Manchester City will basically announce their withdrawal from the championship group, because Liverpool is now leading them by as much as 13 points!

The starting lineup and lineup of the two teams today are somewhat unexpected.

Manchester City, who played at home, lined up a 343 formation!

You read that right, Guardiola has formed a three-guard formation.

Goalkeeper: Ederson.

Defenders: Kyle Walker, Stones, Angelinho.

Midfielder: De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Rodri, David Silva.

Forwards: Bernardo Silva, Jesus, Sterling.

Guardiola has set up an attack formation with extreme combat power. It seems that he hopes to crush his arch-rival Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium today!

Manchester United lined up a 4321 formation today.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Wanbisaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Fred, Lingard, McTominai, Ye Yifeng, Pogba.

Forward: Lukaku.

Mourinho seemed to have discussed with Guardiola, and the opponent's extreme attack was on, Manchester United set up a bus!

In any case, this is exactly a reflection of the two top coaches' confrontation in the past decade.

As for whether Manchester City can destroy Manchester United buses, it depends on the performance of the two teams in the game.

But I must remind Manchester City that if you really have set up your defense to block and limit the Manchester United devil Ye Yifeng who has already scored 22 goals in the scorer list?"

Although Manchester City fans are cheering for the team, they can't figure out what Guardiola wants to do.

Every summer, I watch Manchester City’s signing moves, and the ideas I reveal are very intuitive: I need to strengthen my defense!

The total expenditures spent on buying defenders and goalkeepers over the years can almost acquire any team with the bottom seven or eight in the Premier League’s market value!

However, an opponent as important as today's Manchester United has only formed a three-guard formation system.

It seems to be telling the whole world: Don’t care how many guards I buy, I just don’t need them, hey, just play!

Is Manchester City unavailable?

Of course not.

On the bench were Otamendi, Cancelo, Mendy.

There are also a few who can't even make the bench list and can only watch the football game at home.

Fleet Street doesn't understand what Manchester City's team-building ideas are.

But in Mourinho's eyes, Guardiola is using money-making ability to play a trick!

Buy all the good defenders as much as possible and make a big splash.

Hey, you coaches who play defensive counterattack can’t afford a good defender, let’s see how you play with me!

Set up a bus?

Let me show you another pile of broken copper and iron!

Even for Manchester United, Maguire, bought for 80 million, is still far behind Mourinho's appearance in his eyes, and to be honest, the top defender ten years ago.

In other words, if he put Terry and Carvalho ten years ago today, then he will have to be hundreds of millions?

Damn bald melon.

Are you here to speculate on the value of defenders as a trader?

Manchester United fans also have a lot of ideas.

Seeing Mourinho's formation, even if he was not an old problem, he was definitely afraid of Manchester City.

Fear of a ball!

Just do it head-on!

After the referee blew the whistle and blew the whistle at the beginning of the game, Manchester City immediately performed a melon-style skill in front of Manchester United: the method of walking the dog.

Manchester United, who has taken a defensive counterattack since the beginning, is very conservative, which means that they can actually accept a draw. As long as they can escape unscathed, they will still be the leader in the Premier League.

It would be a fantasy to want Mourinho to take the lead in underestimating the enemy.

So Manchester United, whose formation was dragged in the backcourt, watched Manchester City perform pass control.

Anyway, the frontcourt will not counterattack.

How long does Manchester City want to pass? It's free.

After about 3 minutes, Manchester City began to launch a fast break. Today, De Bruyne and David Silva played support to the wingers one by one. I hope to play as much as possible during the acceleration period.

This has indeed put a lot of pressure on Manchester United's wide defense.

When De Bruyne sent the straight pass just right, Bernardo Silva cut from the outside from the right and came to the bottom line to meet successfully.

At the same time, Manchester United's midfielder also retreated to compress the defensive space.

Bernardo Silva crossed the ball in front of the baseline, and Lindelov cleared it in time.

Four minutes later, when Manchester United initiated a quick counterattack in the backcourt, Ye Yifeng just started the pass that responded to McTominai and was knocked to the ground by De Bruyne, who had rushed back from the side and back.

De Bruyne pulled him up and received a yellow card.

Guardiola communicated with the fourth official on the sidelines.

Brother, isn't this the Premier League?

The scale is so tight?!

Seeing that Guardiola was quite polite, the fourth official replied casually.

The FA is afraid that you will fight, so they have to keep a close eye on the scale!

Is it because the FA was instructing it behind the scenes, but at least the fourth official threw the blame out first.

The meaning is very clear. If Guardiola has any dissatisfaction, you can go directly to the FA and don't make it difficult for us to be the referee.

But this really surprised the referee team. They thought it would be Mourinho who would be the first to complain.

Ye Yifeng didn't take it seriously on the court, but in the 11th minute of the game, Bernardo Silva rushed back to take the ball and pulled him, which made him realize that Manchester City was sniping him from all directions today!

Bernardo Silva also received a yellow card.

Guardiola looked gloomy on the sidelines.

It seems like Manchester City has been targeted.

Manchester City's pass-controlled oppressive momentum was still played, but when it was the stage of the front line explosion, Bernardo Silva did not threaten. After Sterling broke out Wanbisaka, she was also besieged by Fred and Maguire in the penalty area. It was extremely difficult to create an excellent shooting opportunity in Manchester United's penalty area.

If Manchester United, who took out the ancestral bus, could easily break through the defense line, then the summer hit the defense line of more than 100 million pounds would be considered a waste.

In the 15th minute of the game, Sterling knocked the ball back in the penalty area, and David Silva's shot on the penalty area line was quite threatening, and De Gea flew to save the ball and saved it.

In the 20th minute, Manchester United launched a fast attack in the backcourt. This time, Ye Yifeng took the initiative to run and came to the middle lane, getting rid of the pursuers behind him. He just played with Emperor Lin near the center line, and Rodri blocked him head-on and pushed him to the ground with a hug and fall!

Ye Yifeng, who was sitting on the ground, looked helpless.

Is he so frustrated when he plays in the midfield?

If he plays as a striker, it would be a little bit more to say whether the defender dares to do this. Even if he does, he may be restrained after taking the yellow card next time.

But there are snipers in the midfield, and they can't escape the first day of the lunar month!

Rodri is dyed yellow!

In the 20th minute, three Manchester City players were yellow.

Ye Yifeng glanced at Fernandinho and Manchester City's defense behind Rodri.

Damn it.

What a superstar, today you transform into a minesweeper, and go to clear mines one by one?
