Rashford's shot almost broke the net, and the Manchester United fans in the stands sighed.

Then applause broke out.

This is encouragement and support for the young striker.

After all, he is a genius who came out of the Carrington training base, and Manchester United fans care about him very much.

Rashford looked back at Xia Xing and gave him a thumbs up.

Xia Xing also applauded in response, praising the wonderful shot of this young brother.

At this time, the game had just passed ten minutes, and Manchester United had two wonderful shots and scored a goal.

At this time, Guardiola on the sidelines of the court vaguely felt something was wrong.

What is the situation of Manchester United today?

Why do you feel that the style of play has changed?

And in the following time, his feelings became deeper and deeper.

Manchester City continued to attack, and Manchester United still maintained a defensive counterattack.

It seems to be similar to the past, but there are still big differences.

Especially Manchester United's defensive counterattack, the pressure is very resolute.

Regardless of the manpower invested or the magnitude of the attack, it is very desperate.

But Guardiola is not afraid, after all, only when Manchester United presses forward, they have more chances to score.

In the 19th minute of the game, Manchester City launched a series of short passes in the frontcourt.

David Silva took the ball on the left and knocked it forward to the German winger Sane.

Sane's continuous dribbling action failed to shake Damian, and he passed the ball decisively.

But this time he did not look for David Silva in the middle, because Xia Xing appeared next to the Spanish midfielder again.

The ball went back and looked for Fernandinho who was dribbling forward.

Now Manchester United's defense is dense, and Fernandinho assisted and stepped forward to find more opportunities.

Pogba quickly topped up and did not give Fernandinho a chance to break.

Although Pogba's defensive ability is average, his physical fitness is absolutely first-class, and there is absolutely no problem against Fernandinho.

Fernandinho was not reluctant to fight, and passed the ball to the right and handed it to De Bruyne.

De Bruyne passed the ball without stopping, looking for Sterling who was moving forward quickly!

This time the pass was very fast, which put great pressure on Manchester United's defense!

Sterling rushed into the penalty area and made a quick cross pass near the baseline!

Half-high ball!

Aguero in the middle was extremely fast and kicked the ball before his national team teammate Rojo!

The ball was poked into the net!

The ball went in!

1 to 1!

Manchester City scored a goal!

Guardiola on the sidelines was all smiles and applauded.

The away fans in the stands also cheered instantly.

But soon, they were suppressed by the cheers from the home team's stands.

Tens of thousands of Manchester United fans shouted loudly, sang the Manchester United team song, and shouted the names of Manchester United players!

This is Old Trafford!

You can't run wild!

Manchester City scored a goal, and they felt a little more at ease.

It seems that Manchester United in this game is just like this. The fierce attack in the opening stage was just a scare, and in the end it was not a loss of the ball due to poor defense.

In the next period of time, their attacks were even more fierce.

After scoring a goal to tie the score, they were more looking forward to overtaking the score.

However, what they didn't expect was that Manchester United's attack was still fierce!

As long as Manchester City lost the ball, Manchester United quickly pressed forward!

It seemed that they didn't care about the gap behind them!

If you have the ability, kill us!

The offensive of Manchester United fans made Manchester City's soldiers very uncomfortable.

Even Guardiola on the sidelines was a little surprised.

Is this still the Mourinho he is familiar with?

Turning his head, Mourinho waved his right arm, encouraging the players to press forward boldly.

Go!

Go up and do it!

And soon, Manchester United also gained something again.

In the 29th minute of the game, Manchester United's defense made a wonderful header clearance, and the ball came to the feet of Herrera in the midfield.

Herrera took the ball with his back and decisively passed it to Luke Shaw.

Luke Shaw did not stop the ball and passed it diagonally, still looking for Xia Xing!

Manchester United's offensive and defensive transition hub is Xia Xing, and everyone trusts him very much.

But when Xia Xing received the ball, Bernardo Silva and De Bruyne had already pressed up.

Manchester City players also knew that the axis of Manchester United was Xia Xing. As long as Xia Xing was blocked in the transition between offense and defense, Manchester United's counterattack threat would be reduced by at least half.

However, how easy is it to block Xia Xing?

Xia Xing received Luke Shaw's pass sideways and squeezed De Bruyne with his back.

In terms of physical confrontation, De Bruyne completely defeated Xia Xing.

Facing Bernardo Silva's kick on the other side, Xia Xing pulled the ball with both feet alternately, suddenly accelerated diagonally, and opened up space!

Although he failed to pass two people, there was enough space!

Kick a long pass!

The ball went straight to the front court!

Looking for Pogba!

Pogba received the ball steadily, and passed Fernandinho who was trying to steal the ball with a change of direction!

In Manchester United, Pogba is definitely the second person, world-class!

After passing the opponent, several forwards in front of him were also running, and the Manchester City defense slowly retreated, not daring to steal the ball easily.

Pogba stopped moving forward and volleyed the ball from about 29 meters away from the goal!

This shot went straight to the right side of the goal!

It was powerful and had an S-shaped arc!

The ball hit the upper right corner of the goal!

2 to 1!

Manchester United took the lead again!

A wonderful shot!

The excited Pogba rushed to the side of the court, enjoying the cheers and praises from the fans!

Xia Xing, Lukaku and others also rushed up to celebrate the goal with Pogba!

It feels great to be ahead again!

The game resumed, and Manchester City's offensive became more fierce.

They really didn't expect that Manchester United's attack would be so resolute and decisive.

They really didn't expect to fall behind in such a way at Old Trafford.

Keep attacking and equalize as soon as possible!

In the 41st minute of the game, Manchester City made a mistake in passing the ball in the middle, and Xia Xing intercepted the ball again.

This time Xia Xing decisively passed it directly to Pogba!

A good opportunity for Manchester United!

Pogba sprinted quickly, and the whole Manchester United team rushed up again!

But this time they got into trouble!

Pogba, who changed direction with the ball, was intercepted by Manchester City right back Kyle Walker who was returning to defense!

This defense was very exciting!

After the interception, Kyle Walker made a long pass to find the fast horse Aguero!

Aguero changed direction with the ball and sprinted towards the right side!

Right winger Sterling moved inward, and the two completed a cross position exchange!

Manchester United's midfield has been pressed up, and the defense is empty!

Several defenders retreated to block the Manchester City striker's attack!

However, after the movement of several forwards, they did not choose to shoot, but suddenly passed the ball back!

The ball found De Bruyne who was moving forward quickly!

Just after Xia Xing passed the ball, he moved forward decisively, and De Bruyne's speed could not keep up with him.

But because of this, De Bruyne became the Manchester City midfielder closest to the Manchester United penalty area!

After receiving the ball, he made a slight adjustment and shot decisively!

Goalkeeper De Gea was affected by the Manchester City striker and was dragged into another defense. Aguero shot at the near corner!

De Bruyne's shot hit the left side of the goal!

2 to 2!

Manchester City equalized the score again!

The two sides are back on the same starting line! (End of this chapter)
