Chapter 290 Pogba and Zhao Gang, Manchester United's Twin Calamities
"Pogba is a piece of crap!!"
"He doesn't learn after being intercepted once, and he actually tries a Marseille turn in that position. I really want to twist his head off and spin it!"
"What a piece of trash."
Manchester United fans, who were usually very dissatisfied with Pogba, went crazy.
Mourinho's eyes were filled with anger, and he was trembling with rage.
This wasn't the first time Pogba had become playful on the field and wanted to show off.
Before, he had been flaunting his skills without making any mistakes, so Mourinho couldn't say anything.
This time, he finally met his match, and now they've lost the ball.
Pogba on the field was expressionless, staring with wide eyes, looking around as if it had nothing to do with him.
"Wow... clean and efficient! In front of Zhao, Pogba really looks like a child, in terms of mentality and technique!"
The commentator kept shaking his head. Pogba is worth 100 million, but Zhao is really worth 500 million.
"Zhao's interception, this isn't the first time. In recent matches, he's put more energy into defense and has been very successful!
This kind of awareness, this kind of speed, is really a bit unsolvable!"
"Manchester United's midfield also looks vulnerable in the face of Zhao's defense. We thought Zhao could use his offensive ability to break down Manchester United's defense, but we didn't expect that Zhao could also use his defensive ability to crush Manchester United!
He can also get past three defenders and pass the ball into the penalty area, to a spot where only Sane is!
Sane scored this goal, but most of the credit belongs to Zhao! His growth is too fast."
"This goal came a little later than expected. Manchester City has long controlled the situation on the field. Manchester United's control in midfield is too poor. Does Mourinho need to make an adjustment? Pogba, this ticking time bomb, is likely to make another extremely dangerous mistake.
His offensive ability is undeniable, but in this game, he has hardly had any outstanding attacks!"
The Manchester United fans in the stands looked ugly.
They didn't want to face this situation.
They kept cheering themselves up, even hypnotizing themselves, believing the media's nonsense.
Until Manchester United scored the first goal, they really thought they had a chance in this game!
As a result, they were instantly tied after scoring, and now, after thirty-two minutes, Manchester City has taken the lead again.
This rhythm is too familiar.
Last game was 6:2, will this game be 6:1?
But Manchester City only scored two goals in the first half. Compared to the first match, Manchester United's defense has improved significantly!
Ibrahimovic stood in the center circle, pouting and gritting his teeth.
I'm God, but after coming to Manchester United, I've become the one kicking off!
Last game I kicked off six times, will I have to kick off six times again this game?
What kind of defense is this?
Beep!
Clattenburg blew his whistle, and many Manchester United fans felt that something bad was about to happen.
In the past, when Clattenburg officiated Manchester United games, Manchester United could blame Clattenburg for making bad calls if they lost, but this time they can't blame Clattenburg.
Rooney got the ball and chose to pass it back again. It seemed a bit difficult to break through the center.
It's better to open up the situation from the two wings.
This was also Chelsea's tactic before. When they couldn't advance through the center, they used the wings to attack.
Manchester United has good wingers like Lingard, and Luke Shaw is also a good explosive point.
Valencia and Mkhitaryan are also quite capable.
After a few passes, Manchester United began to consciously look for Lingard.
His assist led to the first goal, so they should have played through him more often.
After Lingard got the ball, he chose to break through again, but his speed wasn't advantageous compared to Kyle Walker, and Fernandinho was constantly following him.
This made it difficult for him to execute the tactics he had at the start of the game.
He could only pass the ball to Rooney, who was supporting him.
As soon as Rooney got the ball, he felt the pressure from behind.
It was Zhao Gang again, who appeared out of nowhere. Rooney wondered what position this kid actually played.
Fortunately, Rooney wasn't Pogba. He didn't have any intention of showing off. He quickly transferred the ball to Mkhitaryan's feet.
Valencia, who rushed up to support, played a combination with Mkhitaryan. Clichy's defense was still a bit lacking, and Otamendi quickly filled the gap.
Manchester City's defense began to move to the left.
Manchester United's tactic of attacking through the wings still had some effect.
Mkhitaryan's breakthrough caused some chaos in Manchester City's defense, but with the center-back's support, the defense didn't have any major problems.
When Manchester City's defense shifted to the left, Rooney quickly transferred the ball to the right.
Lingard, who had created space, charged into the penalty area with the ball. Kyle Walker quickly followed, and the center-backs kept running.
At this time, a gap appeared between Manchester City's two center-backs.
Lingard didn't try to take all the credit. He passed the ball back to Rooney, who was supporting him. Rooney quickly transferred it again, and Pogba in the center rushed forward!
He had been waiting for almost half the game for this opportunity!
He hadn't found a suitable opportunity this game.
Now it's finally here!
Pogba's long shot outside the penalty area was the guarantee of his value!
At this time, Manchester United had stretched Manchester City's defense a bit, and a gap had appeared in the center.
Ibrahimovic was also unmarked in the penalty area.
Ibrahimovic raised his hand and shouted for Pogba to pass the ball.
As long as it's passed in, it's an empty net!
Otamendi saw Ibrahimovic's open space, but Pogba was clearly about to shoot. Otamendi made a decision in an instant, abandoning Ibrahimovic and directly blocking the shot!
At this moment, Pogba only had the goal in his eyes!
The goal was as wide as the sea!
Ready to fire!
Pogba shot with great power!
In order to avoid Otamendi's block, Pogba also added spin and angle to this shot.
Ibrahimovic stood there in a daze, unguarded, watching Pogba's thunderous shot from the ground.
The football was like a cannonball, extremely fast, and it was even difficult for the eyes to capture its trajectory!
This is Pogba's power, Pogba's technique!
Unparalleled, a shot that can determine the world!
Manchester United fans craned their necks to watch.
Swish!
Bravo had no reaction and couldn't judge which side the ball was flying to.
Because the ball flew into the stands.
And was caught by a Manchester City fan.
Bravo pursed his lips. It was too damn scary.
An invisible kick!
The Manchester City fan in the stands grabbed the ball and shouted loudly, screaming beautifully!
Pogba stuck his neck out and ran away.
Ibrahimovic was so angry he was about to have a heart attack.
