In the stands at Wembley Stadium, England national team coach Capello and assistant coach Galbiati are seriously studying the lineup and tactics of the two sides.

Tonight, there are England internationals on both sides.

For example, Manchester City has Leighton Baines in the starting lineup, and Sturridge is sitting on the bench.

Manchester United also has Rooney and Carrick two popular internationals.

Judging from the situation after the start of the game, the international players of both teams performed well.

Rooney and Carrick are both very active, and Leighton Baines is under great defensive pressure against Valencia.

"The Ecuadorian winger from Manchester United is really fast and strong. Baines suffers from a physical disadvantage." Galbiati shook his head helplessly.

England's left back is only 1.7 meters, marking 1.8 meters. At the same time, Valencia is stronger and faster than him. The pressure can be imagined, let alone Baines, even Ashley Cole Come on, you can't take advantage of it.

"But he did a good job," Capello said.

Galbiati nodded, "Yes, it's quite normal."

Leighton Bynes' advantage is not in defense, but in offense.

But tonight, in the face of Valencia's flank impact, he failed to show his offensive threat in the opening ten minutes.

"Gao Shen's use of the two wingers tonight was very interesting, and they both retreated to the midfield position." Capello frowned.

The advantage of Gareth Bale and Robben is speed, both of them are very fast.

For the goal just now, Gareth Bale's step-by-step pressing on O'Shea is the key.

It can also be seen that Gao Shen used Gareth Bell in the formation tonight.

He looks more like a left midfielder than a left winger, and he keeps a tighter distance from Leighton Bynes, often dropping back to full-back to help defend.

"Gao Shen is obviously debugging Gareth Bell's best position. The winger is too forward and the full-back is too back. If the full-back is too good, his defensive ability is also quite strong. After all, it is a side. Defender background." Galbiati analyzed.

Capello agreed.

On the Manchester United side, after Lars Diarra joined, plus a Sneijder, Park Zhixing on the left, Valencia on the right, Manchester United's midfield is obviously strengthened a lot, especially the double midfielder.

"Ferguson's ability to train players is still good. Lars Diarra doesn't seem to stick to the ball tonight." Capello laughed.

The French midfielder wears the No. 10 jersey at Real Madrid, and sticking to the ball is his old problem, but judging from his performance tonight, this problem seems to have changed a lot.

Of course, maybe it's a newcomer, and it's a little bit more restrained.

But one thing is for sure, Manchester United's midfield has really strengthened.

Especially with a Fletcher on the bench.

It's really necessary, Sneijder replaces Park Ji-sung, uses Fletcher to go up, and plays the third midfielder, Manchester United's midfield will be stronger.

"The key is Manchester United's counterattack tonight. They played fast and made more long passes." Capello's eyes were poisonous.

After the opening, as long as Manchester United stole the ball in midfield, they immediately launched a long pass to find Wayne Rooney or Valencia.

Obviously, this is Ferguson's game strategy.

Manchester City's high pressure, as well as passing and controlling the ball near the midline, resulted in a lot of space behind the defensive line.

Rooney and Valencia are able to make good use of this piece.

When Capello and Galbiati were in the stands, you were analyzing the game word by word, and something suddenly happened on the pitch.

Manchester United's midfielder suddenly exerted force, and after grabbing the ball, Sneijder quickly sent a long over-the-top pass to the right side of the frontcourt.

That is to play on the left flank of Manchester City.

Rooney plugged in quickly, slanted to the right, and blocked Kompany with his body.

The Belgian centre-back tried to squeeze Rooney away, but was unsuccessful.

Lu Xiaopang's nickname isn't just for nothing.

Rooney was on the right side of the penalty area, caught up with Sneijder's long pass, and suddenly made an emergency stop, trying to dunk the ball over Kompany and dribble into the penalty area, but at this time, Leighton Baines was also in place. .

Seeing that the two were about to complete the pincer attack, Rooney suddenly sent a cross and sent the ball into the penalty area.

I saw that Valencia quickly slanted into the penalty area from the right rib and caught up with Rooney to pass the ball. Facing Jerome Boateng who fell into position in time, Valencia made a fake move and the German central defender fell directly to the ground. tackle.

As a result, the Ecuadorian winger just feinted a shot and dunked the ball over Boateng. When Neuer attacked halfway, he calmly pushed his right foot and hit the ball, leveling the score for Manchester United.

Valencia opened her arms excitedly and ran all the way to celebrate.

"What happened to this central defender? Why did he fall to the ground and tackle the ball all of a sudden?" Capello felt very puzzled.

It's totally illogical, isn't it?

"It's probably a matter of playing habits. I heard that he often fouled cards when he was in the Bundesliga, and he behaved very rashly and rashly. That one just now was really..." Galbiati shook his head with a wry smile.

It is really indescribable!

If this were in Italy, a tackle like this would probably be thrown into the cold.

"I can't understand. How could Gao Shen let him play as a central defender?" Capello felt very incomprehensible.

It stands to reason that such a rash player would be very fatal in the crucial position of central defender.

Just like the goal of Manchester United just now, it really shouldn't be.

If it is a mature and experienced central defender, just block Valencia with your body.

"Gao Shen will regret it!"

In fact, Gao Shen has no regrets.

He was already mentally prepared for Jerome Boateng's mistakes.

It's not that he doesn't pay attention to this cup game, but that he pays more attention to the players' familiarity with the rhythm of Premier League games, especially the rhythm of this kind of strong dialogue, which is more important.

What's more, this is the first half.

So, after conceding the ball, Gao Shen walked to the sidelines, applauded the players vigorously, and encouraged them to keep going.

"It doesn't matter, stay patient and focus, and keep going!" Gao Shen shouted loudly.

Captain Kompany and others are also boosting the morale of the team.

As both sides scored a goal, the game gradually opened up.

Especially Manchester City.

After the start, the young recruits gradually gained a firm foothold, scored goals and conceded goals. They gradually let go of their burdens and began to devote themselves to the game.

A goal was conceded in the 23rd minute, but in just four minutes, Manchester City threatened Manchester United's goal with a corner kick.

Yaya Toure's header was slightly over the bar.

But Manchester United is not a fuel-efficient lamp either. They quickly returned the color, and they also won a corner kick and formed a shot.

After the two sides let go of their hands and feet, they gradually launched an offensive.

The game scene also became exciting.

Manchester City has the ball, Manchester United presses the opponent by actively running, grabbing the ball and quickly counterattacking.

Just at the 39th minute, after Manchester United's midfielder intercepted the ball, Lars Diarra tried to dribble the ball forward, but Rakitic grabbed the ball again and sent a diagonal pass. to the back of Evans.

I saw Van Persie jumping in quickly. Although Evans followed closely behind and pulled hard, he failed to hold Van Persie. The Dutchman rushed to the left side of the front of the penalty area and faced Rakitic's pass landing. , a volley with his left foot, and the football went straight into the upper right corner of Manchester United's goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Van Persie!!"

"Manchester City outscored the score again, the goal came from Robin van Persie!"

"Robben's goal just now came from his assist, and now he has contributed another goal himself."

"We can see the slow motion of the goal. Evans had a clear foul on his hand, but he didn't hold it. He slid past him. Van Persie looked very fighting tonight."

"Two to one!"

Just three minutes later, Manchester City went on the offensive again.

After getting the ball from the right, Robben faced the Brazilian teenager Fabio. After a quick and dexterous emergency stop cut inside, he threw off Fabio and dribbled the ball horizontally to the middle, not waiting for Las Dia. Pulled over to double-team, and sent a curved ball with his left foot.

The ball fell to the back of the goal.

Just like a flash of lightning, Gareth Bale quickly broke into Manchester United's penalty area, forcibly rushed past O'Shea, jumped high in front of the column on the left side of the goal, and headed the goal.

Van der Sar was moving quickly to the left, but Gareth Bale deliberately pushed a back point and sent the ball to the right side of Manchester United's goal, three to one!

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!"

"Two goals in three minutes!"

"Gareth Bale's back play was very sudden, and Manchester United's defenders couldn't react in time."

"Of course, he should thank Robben. It was Robben's wonderful right-sided cut and his left-footed curve ball that created a great scoring opportunity for him."

"Three to one, Manchester United are in a very dangerous situation now!"

No one thought that before the end of the first half, the two sides would play so unrestrainedly.

In stoppage time, after Manchester United successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt, Carrick got the ball in his own half. side behind.

Valencia and Leighton Baines competed for speed on the flank, but the Ecuadorian winger, with his tyrannical body, squeezed Baines away, got the ball first, and took it to the right side of Manchester City's penalty area. After attracting Kompany, he made a pass from the bottom to the middle of the small penalty area.

Rooney in the middle rushed to the horse, and before Jerome Boateng, he fell to the ground and made a tackle, sending the ball into the goal of Manchester City, which is close at hand.

Two to three!

The whole Wembley Stadium is completely fried!

All the fans were inexplicably excited.

No one thought that the first half of this game would be so wonderful.

Especially in the closing stage, the two sides kicked more and more unrestrainedly, and the more they kicked, the more they let go of their hands and feet, and they didn't hold back at all.

Five goals!

This made the whole first half exciting to watch.

Obviously, both sides failed to form the strongest lineup due to various reasons, but the performances of the players on both sides were also very hard.

Especially on the offensive end, they all showed quite brilliant performances, and no one wanted to be inferior to the other.

This also made the 85,000 fans at the scene mesmerize.

They are all looking forward to the second half, expecting this to be another exciting match.
