Both sides played very cautiously after the game started.

Manchester United, who plays at home, strives to control the ball in the middle and backcourts, and safely passes back and forth far more than forward straight and oblique passes.

Manchester City is even more amazing, with only forward Tevez passing the half, and he is calmly ready for the first half.

Manchester United's ball was only halfway through, and Manchester City players ran with them. Once Manchester United passed the ball, Manchester City players immediately rushed to double-team.

Manchester City has almost 10 players in their own half, and Manchester United has not invested much in the frontcourt, so Manchester City almost grabbed one by one.

However, Manchester United also stationed troops in the backcourt. Manchester City grabbed the ball and did not invest a large amount of troops, but could not threaten Manchester United's goal. If they invest too much troops, Manchester United's counterattack would be as fast as lightning, and Manchester City could not bear it. Therefore, Manchester City could not pose a threat to Manchester United's goal even if they grabbed the ball.

Manchester United and Manchester City both played a bit conservatively, and the fights were played in the midfield. They never entered the opponent's penalty area in the first five minutes.

However, the fans of both sides were not in a hurry. They watched the game patiently and cheered for their team's exciting cooperation and extraordinary skills from time to time. They knew that the Manchester City Derby would never play like this for 90 minutes.

Neither Manchester United nor Manchester City will accept a 0-0 draw. Now it depends on who can't calm down first, or who will catch the opponent first and reveal the flaw.

In the 8th minute of the game, Manchester City controlled the ball, Yaya Toure got rid of Rooney's entanglement, suddenly dribbled the ball and broke through, striding to Manchester United's half.

The rhythm change was very sudden. Manchester United Anderson was not experienced enough, so he chose to pounce and was knocked by Yaya Toure.

After Anderson lost his position, Manchester United and Fletcher were all in one defensive line, but the danger was not very high.

However, Yaya Toure did not continue to dribble the ball. He passed the ball to Tevez and ran forward. Smarin quickly rushed over and prevented Yaya Toure from receiving the ball.

Although Tevez prefers to go solo, facing Manchester United's entire defense line today, he chose to cooperate with Toure in a wall-to-wall-like manner. Before Smalin arrived, Toure took the lead in hitting the ball, and then made a wall for Tevez.

Manchester City's two two-pass one cooperation was too fast, and Fletcher and Smalin were instantly left behind. Vidic could only come over to block Tevez, who was about to reach the penalty area.

Teves was very excited today and was very straightforward to handle the ball. After the ball reached his feet, he did not pause at all and passed it directly to Silva who was inserted to the right side of the small penalty area.

Fullback Osheim has not made up yet, and Silva has formed a single shot.

Goalkeeper Van der Sar stood at the end of the stadium, with a good view, and the entire stadium was unobstructed. He was experienced and had discovered Silva's threat in advance. When Tevez passed the ball over, Van der Sar attacked quickly and blocked Silva's breakthrough and shot.

The full-back was rushing to assist in defense, and the goalkeeper rushed over to block it. Silva picked up the ball in an instant without any allowance, trying to pick the back corner of goalkeeper Van der Sardy's lob goal.

The distance was too close, and Van der Sar could not react, and the ball flew over his head.

Because Van der Sardy was too tall, Silva picked up high when shooting, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced out.

Manchester City cooperated with two and one passes in the front several times. The Manchester City fans who came to the stands to help did not applaud. They held their breath and waited for the final fatal blow. Unexpectedly, the ball hit the crossbar.

"Oh! What a pity!"

Manchester City fans stamped their feet and beat their chests, wishing they could rush to the court to make a shot.

The attack was very sudden. Manchester City did not invest much force, and just three players created a single shot opportunity, which really scared Manchester United fans.

On-site commentator Andy Gray praised: "Manchester City should not be underestimated now. They are no longer a noisy neighbor. They are now third in the Premier League and may be Manchester United's strong opponents in the championship next season."

This is the holy place in the minds of Manchester United fans. Since the start of the Premier League, Manchester City derby has been held 27 times, including 13 home games, and Manchester United has only lost 1 time. How can they allow Manchester City to go wild here?

After the Blue Moon completed this beautiful attack, the Red Devils fans immediately shouted loudly, encouraging their players to fight back on their mortal enemies.

In fact, there is no need for fans to encourage. Manchester United players started a fierce attack after grabbing the ball that popped up.

Gao Xiaodong's position today is in front of two midfielders Anderson and Fletcher. Manchester City just invested less troops, so he did not return to defense. Unexpectedly, his two midfielders plus a complete defense line were almost blown up by three opponents.

Gao Xiaodong was very annoyed. He cursed an idiot at Anderson, took Smalin's pass and led it to the frontcourt.

Gao Xiaodong scolded Anderson, but he and Anderson often played, and Anderson didn't care, but Fletcher was angry and thought to himself that he was arrogant as soon as he became the vice captain. The opponent's attack was so sudden and he hit the wall two in a row, who could react?

Manchester City players have guessed that Manchester United will take a retaliatory attack, and their formation will be quickly recovered. When Gao Xiaodong dribbled the ball and rushed through the half, the three of them came to grab Gao Xiaodong in a font.

Gao Xiaodong stopped suddenly and turned around, as if he wanted to pass the ball back to Anderson, but when Milner was snatching the side, he pushed his ankle, penetrated Milner's crotch, passed the ball horizontally to Giggs, and turned himself in front of him.

Giggs saw Gao Xiaodong turning around, and he understood the first pass of the ball horizontally, and passed it to the gap behind Milner.

This is a routine that Manchester United is used to, mainly because other teammates make walls for Gao Xiaodong and break the opponent's double-team tactics.

Gao Xiaodong quickly flew forward after passing through the crotch, but he was the most threatening point of Manchester United. Even if he was not prepared in advance, Barry was still following Gao Xiaodong when he flew forward.

However, Gao Xiaodong did not stop the ball. He had already adjusted his step while running. When the ball arrived, the person arrived. When it was almost 30 meters away from the goal, Gao Xiaodong shot with anger and shot the ball towards the goal.

Manchester City goalkeeper Hart felt at ease when he saw Gao Xiaodong getting the ball. He was ready and was waiting for Gao Xiaodong to shoot.

The ball roared, Hart shouted loudly, jumped up, and hit the ball in with one punch.

"good!"

"pretty!"

"This is the man's ball!"

...

Seeing Gao Xiaodong complete a beautiful long shot and forced goalkeeper Hart to complete the save, the Manchester United fans in the stands were very happy and relieved, and they all applauded and praised Gao Xiaodong.

Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity, Giggs came to take the penalty, and Gao Xiaodong stood outside the penalty area and waited for a long shot.

Manchester City players did not dare to neglect and deliberately asked Tevez to go over to guard Gao Xiaodong.

Giggs posted a front point and wanted to cooperate with Rooney, but Manchester City defended very close. Richardson rushed to the baseline before Rooney, and Manchester United continued to have a corner kick.

This time it was Giggs who took the penalty. Manchester City defender had a strong ability to control the air. Giggs gave up his pass to the penalty area for the second time. He made a long pass to the front of the penalty area and looked for Gao Xiaodong.

The pass was a bit sudden, but Mancini's defense was arranged very carefully. Tevez didn't get into the position, so he followed Gao Xiaodong immediately. When Gao Xiaodong stopped the ball, he made a foot damage or foul.

However, Gao Xiaodong looked at the situation, but he gave up the stop, accelerated and rushed over, jumped high, and headed the ball outside the penalty area to the upper right corner of the goal.

This is an extremely unexpected way to deal with the ball. Even Tevez didn't expect Gao Xiaodong to head the ball directly. He ran with Gao Xiaodong, but became a spectator when Gao Xiaodong shot.

The header outside the penalty area was not strong enough and the speed was not fast enough, but Gao Xiaodong was extremely tricky at the angle. Goalkeeper Hart almost turned into a gibbon and barely poked the ball out of the crossbar with his fingertips.

After the ball was saved, Manchester City players were startled and rushed over to touch goalkeeper Hart.
