Taking advantage of a dead ball opportunity, Gao Shen called Lichtsteiner on the right to his side.

"During the counterattack, when the forward progress is unfavorable, you and Felipe have to step forward, allowing Gareth Bale and Robben to move to the ribs. You quickly insert and hit the outside."

"Understood, boss." Lichtsteiner returned to the court.

…

The game restarted, and Lichtsteiner quickly conveyed his profound instructions to the surrounding teammates.

Manchester City quickly made adjustments.

But by this time, twenty minutes had passed.

In this fast-paced offense and defense, both sides consume a lot of energy, especially Manchester United, which takes the initiative to attack. This rapid back and forth sprint consumes a lot of players, so that their pressing and oppression have to slow down slightly.

.

No one can maintain high-energy output for ninety minutes!

It is very, very difficult for Manchester United to be able to hold on to this kind of crazy pressing for more than twenty minutes.

But once the ball is lost, Manchester United's replay speed is still very fast.

In the 23rd minute, Manchester City seized an opportunity and quickly counterattacked. Robben dribbled the ball from the right and cut in near the 30-meter perimeter, but was double-teamed by Carrick and Evra.

, was forced to pass the ball back.

Rakitic passed to David Silva, and the Spaniard tried to pass forward to Suarez.

Unfortunately, after Suarez received the ball with his back, he was surrounded by Manchester United defensive players. He was forced to pass the ball back to David Silva, and Rooney had already returned to his position.

David Silva passed to Rakitic and wanted to organize it again, but Manchester United's defensive pressure came up.

As a last resort, Rakitic passed back to Javi Martinez and then to David Luiz in the backcourt.

All attention was attracted by the football in the left half. Only Gao Shen saw on the sidelines that Lichtsteiner, who was in front of him just now, had quietly crossed the center line and was still fast.

Sprint.
Chapter completed!
