Stroman raised his head, and the sweat on his forehead immediately seeped into his eyes, which was sour and spicy.
The lights at Old Trafford were so dazzling that he couldn't help but squint his eyes.
Opening his mouth and gasping for air, the Dutchman felt as if his chest was burning.
He felt like he couldn't breathe, and a ball of fire was about to erupt.
The game has reached the 70th minute, and the score is one to one.
Before the game, some people said that this game would be the last Manchester derby of Ferguson's career, and it would also be Mancini's last derby, so the two famous coaches have used their best skills to win.
Just to prove to everyone my coaching ability Relying on their strong lineup and focusing on the visitors, Manchester City suppressed their city rival Manchester United from the beginning and firmly controlled the midfield.
On the other hand, when Manchester United played at home, the Red Devils were not conservative at all.
They started an offensive battle with Manchester City and had an invincible momentum, just to defeat their mortal enemy and continue to maintain their league lead.
The two goals from both sides occurred in the second half.
Manchester City took the lead with Nasri assisting Milner to score Manchester United's goal.
But immediately afterwards, Manchester United took advantage of a set kick opportunity on the right side of the frontcourt penalty area.
Robin van Persie took the penalty to the back point.
Phil Jones header hit Kompany's back and crashed into Joe Hart's guard. goal.
This is also the second consecutive league game that Manchester United has scored an own goal.
Although many people feel that Manchester United's players are not outstanding, this team is too resilient.
Only by truly walking into this stadium and having a real fight with the Red Devils and Manchester United can we deeply understand what is truly terrifying about this Red Devils.
Maybe their skills are inferior to others, maybe the situation is very passive, but they will never give up.
Relying on the spirit of the Red Devils, Manchester United, which was at a disadvantage, dragged Manchester City with it.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the intense consumption made everyone on the court look very tired.
The two sides could no longer maintain the fast-paced offensive and defensive battle they had in the first half and the beginning of the second half.
They had to stabilize their rhythm and slowly plot against their opponents.
Stroman stretched out his hands and wiped his head and face vigorously.
His hands were wet and dripping. that's sweat Manchester City's consumption is so astonishing, and Manchester United is definitely not much better, because they are more passive on the scene.
Also, their starting lineup is older.
Thirty-two-year-old Evra and Carrick, 34-year-old Ferdinand, and 39-year-old Giggs It’s hard to imagine how much physical fitness these veterans still have left and how much they can still run.
Especially Giggs and Carrick, they are both midfielders
In fact, Manchester City's first goal just now came from Giggs' mistake.
This Manchester United veteran actually appeared in the right midfield position in this game, facing Stroman.
It was when Giggs pulled to the wing to get the ball that Stroman decisively followed him and marked him closely.
The cunning Welshman wanted to knock the ball with his heel and hit Stroman to bounce the ball off the baseline.
When he earned a foul ball, Stroman was not stupid either.
After breaking the ball, he dribbled the ball forward. rush.
When he rushed to the edge of Manchester United's penalty area, he passed the cross to Nasri.
After the latter dribbled the ball into the penalty area, he suddenly knocked back.
Milner stopped the ball at the front of the penalty area, volleyed hard and broke De Gea's goal.
Recalling the goal just now, Stroman couldn't help but realize a very crucial point.
In the front, David Silva always cuts diagonally from the center to the left and enters the penalty area, catching the gap between Manchester United's right back Rafael and Ferdinand, while left winger Nasri cruises between the defense and midfield.
In between, more incision routes are taken.
As a result, Stroman gained considerable space on the left wing.
If in this situation, I attack more decisively, can I create a threat?
As soon as Stroman's idea emerged, he immediately felt that there was much to do.
But he had to look to the sidelines, and coach Mancini also noticed him.
The two made eye contact.
Stroman made a forward gesture, but Mancini didn't seem to understand.

This makes the Dutch feel very depressed.
There is such a lack of tacit understanding.
Is there any If it were Bielsa, he would have guessed it with just a few glances.
Smart person As a last resort, Stroman could only make a more obvious gesture.
Mancini understood, but did not give an answer on the spot.
Instead, he called the assistant coach over and discussed it carefully.
After more than a minute, he got a chance and made an OK gesture towards Stroman. .
This made Strowman feel depressed again.
Compared with Bielsa's decision-making, Mancini is somewhat indecisive.
When thinking of Bielsa, Stroman couldn't help but think of Southampton, Master Huan, and those teammates.
Although he has left Southampton, he still misses his days at Southampton.
Without Southampton, there would be no Kevin Stroman.
No matter what, we have to beat Manchester United Stroman gritted his teeth and decided secretly.
The situation was just as Stroman expected, Manchester City once again pressed within the thirty-meter area of Manchester United.
Yaya Toure controlled the ball at his feet, while Nasri and David Silva each attracted the attention of United's defenders.
Stroman was just supporting Yaya Toure at first.
Seeing that Giggs was overwhelmed after a series of continuous runs, he moved closer to the left wing, so when the Welshman was not closely guarding, he suddenly rushed forward.
This move by the Dutch immediately disrupted Manchester United's defense.
Especially when Yaya Toure understood the idea and passed the ball in front of Stroman, the Dutchman stopped, dunked, and got rid of Carrick.
Manchester United's entire defense line was attracted by Stroman.
Everyone was shocked. stop him This should be the first reaction of all Manchester United defensive players under conditioned reflexes But Stroman spotted an opportunity and found a gap in the defense.
He raised his left foot and, twenty meters away from the goal, fired straight away.
Stroman's long-range shot was astonishing, and the angle was perfectly chosen.
It just passed by Phil Jones, who was out of position, and went straight to the goal.
De Gea also reacted quickly and flew to make the save.
The Spanish goalkeeper is tall, has long hands, and has a very stretched body.
With everyone stunned, he blocked the ball with one hand, barely saving a goal that was inevitable.
Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans at Old Trafford Stadium all let out a cry of surprise.
They were obviously shocked by Stroman's goal, but before they could catch their breath, they found that the man was as big as a kid.
Aguero, at some point, lurked in the penalty area.
De Gea pounced on the ball, and the ball bounced back into the penalty area.
Aguero circled up like a ghost, faced the falling ball, and gave it a gentle push.
De Gea, who had just landed, could no longer stop the ball.
The other defensive players of Manchester United could only stare at Agui.
The ball crossed the white line of the goal and hit the net "goa" Aguero opened his arms in excitement and opened his mouth so wide that he could fit a fist into it.
He rushed out of the penalty area and rushed to the corner flagpole, forgetting everything and celebrating his goal.
Stroman was stunned at first, and then felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.
Although he failed to score, Aguero's goal could also help Manchester City beat Manchester United.
As a result, the Dutchman also rushed out excitedly following Aguero, hugging the Argentine striker tightly.
The Old Trafford stadium was deathly silent, with only the sound of Manchester City players cheering and celebrating.
On the sidelines, in front of the home team's coaching bench, Ferguson was stunned the moment Aguero scored.
Then came the fury, the thundering wrath.
Ferguson was seen raising his hands in the air and shouting at the Manchester United players in the stadium.
"Why did you lose the ball?
What did you do?"

"You can throw this kind of ball" Everyone can feel Ferguson's anger at this moment.
Yes, I finally tied the score with an own goal, but now in the blink of an eye, I lost it again.
What is this God, are you playing with me?
This is not just three points.
If they lose to Manchester City this time and Southampton wins again, the points gap will be shortened to five points.
With six rounds left in the league, the five-point gap is undoubtedly very dangerous.
More importantly, Manchester United has been losing points in recent rounds.
How can anyone be reassured?
Ferguson realized something was wrong, especially since the players on the pitch were clearly exhausted.
"Mike" Ferguson realized this problem and immediately turned around and shouted.
Mike Phelan immediately caught up, "Sir" "Quick, let Shinji Kagawa and Cleverley warm up.
I want them to play in three minutes."
"Okay" Mike Phelan turned and left.
"Wait a minute."
Ferguson thought of something again.
"Let Welbeck warm up again, and he will come too."
Mike Phelan was a little surprised that he had to play three substitutes at once And judging from Ferguson's substitutions, the three substitutions were all aimed at strengthening the team's offense.
But Mike Phelan was so afraid of Ferguson that he didn't dare to ask any more questions and went directly to the bench to shout.
Mancini also noticed the movement on Manchester United's side, and he immediately made adjustments.
After Ferguson completed three substitutions, Manchester City also began to make substitutions.
First, David Silva was replaced with Gareth Barry to further strengthen the team's midfield strength.
Then Lescott replaced Nasri and continued to strengthen the team's defense.
After completing these two substitutions, the time has entered eighty minutes.
In the remaining ten minutes or so, Manchester United changed its previous passivity and began to press forward aggressively, suppressing Manchester City.
Manchester City, who were playing away from home, looked like they were sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and even started to launch a defensive counterattack.
This made Ferguson in front of the home team's coaching bench so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Especially as the game time passed by minute by minute, Ferguson was even more anxious and kept shouting on the sidelines, constantly making adjustments, asking the players to continue to put pressure on Manchester City's defense.
Even if it's just scoring a goal, that's fine.
After all, at this critical moment of winning the championship, a single point difference may undoubtedly determine the championship.
But Manchester United was exhausted after a long battle.
They had been passively beaten for a long time before the game.
Now they took the initiative.
Their physical energy was almost exhausted.
The players also seriously lacked morale.
In the end, they failed to reverse the situation and threatened Manchester City's goal.
With the whistle of referee Michael Dean, the last Manchester derby between Ferguson and Mancini finally came to an end.
With key goals from Milner and Aguero, Manchester City defeated Manchester United away from home and scored three points, further consolidating their third position in the league.
Ferguson covered his face with his hands at the moment the whistle sounded.
He felt ashamed to face this crowd of fans at Old Trafford.
At the same time, he was praying secretly in his heart, hoping that Southampton would also lose points:
