Chapter 396 On the Eve of the Great War
You can enjoy the football feast and kill the product by the way. Singles' Day is not lonely!
For Manchester United, this game has a lot of difficulties.
Nani and Rooney were injured, and Li Yu was the only one on the attack line.
With such a configuration, it is easy for Manchester City to find a tactic to block Manchester United's attack points!
Although the new player Hernandez's recent performance is not bad, in the big scene, the first Manchester derby Mexican young player can play a good role.
People will still place most of their hopes on Li Yu.
Especially in China, a large part of the people who watch the game are all for Li Yu. It doesn't matter what team is. Sometimes they don't value the victory or defeat. The key is Li Yu's performance.
Some star fans mean that football is an 11-person team project, but in the eyes of some people, idols are the key, and the rest are floating clouds.
Blindness is a little blind, but it can have a large number of such fans, which shows Li Yu's popularity in China.
Now Yao Ming has retired from the NBA, and the god-making has slowly stepped down from the altar.
Only Li Yu, the idol who broke into the wild road, is more persuasive and more straightforward to the hearts of the people.
Once blocked, now it seems so ridiculous. Such an accomplished player can't be blocked with a single block!
Li Yu didn't know that on Singles' Day in China, he has become one of the two major themes.
Speaking of a little bit of bachelor's day, it's not bad to live like this.
Manchester United's opponent Manchester City is not so popular in China, which has something to do with the club's background. If it hadn't been for the fact that a Chinese player had stayed in this club, many fans might not have known that there was a Manchester City team in Manchester.
Rich families are not built in a day. At least the appeal and popularity around the world can't be bought by waving a check, not to mention those underlying things. Without decades of accumulation, don't think about it.
Having said that, but in fact, the current player configuration of Manchester City is no worse than Manchester United in the British media, and it can even be described as more powerful. It's good to have money!
Manchester United's annual bank interest is enough to support the club to buy a strong foreign aid, but the money has to pay back.
The most profitable club in the Premier League is actually operating in debt. It is no wonder that Manchester United fans will be hostile to the Glazer family, the actual owner of the club.
Compared with the two, the final victory or defeat of this game is really exciting!
On the day of the game, just like every important event, Sky TV was fully dispatched, and the helicopter for aerial photography circled over the city court early.
The two teams of fans who gathered early around the stadium were separated by a large number of mounted police.
Before the game started, it was more like a festival, a big gathering of fans.
It's also very interesting to say. In the past, Premier League matches were held in the evening, but now in order to take care of the needs of Asian fans, many important games have been changed to kick-off at about 1 o'clock.
Many of the two teams of fans who came to the stadium were eating hot dogs and drinking beer while waiting for the official start of the game. They could smell the strong smell of hot dogs far away.
This is also the latest unique scenery outside the Premier League stadium.
In the face of various interview scenes that have been scanned from time to time, the fans who thought they had appeared on the screen ate the whole hot dog.
It really means a food competition. Let's see who eats fast.
Fans who choose to watch football at home or in the bar are not such a scene!
While eating lunch and watching the game, British fans gradually began to accept this way of watching.
The last time Manchester City won the championship was in 1976, when they won the League Cup.
But since Chief Mansour took over Manchester City in the summer of 2008, he has spent hundreds of millions of pounds to strengthen Blue Moon's lineup and poach Tevez from Manchester United.
Last year, Ferguson was still dissatisfied with a "Welcome to Manchester" poster with the theme of Tevez produced by Manchester City. The Manchester derby is on the verge of breaking out tonight, and Ferguson has something to say.
"I don't know why I made that poster. It's probably a trick for advertisers to deceive people, but I don't think they will really be proud of it. They should think more about how to beat us on the court and get more points from us instead of these. I said it was stupid at that time, and now maybe they think so too. A Manchester City fan's tattoo on his body is 'European Cup Winners'.' I mean, people will be excited about a champion. I think if you ask Manchester City fans, they will definitely prefer to see the team hold a championship parade. Unfortunately, Manchester City doesn't have a trophy. Their fans are as bad as their supervisors. They are almost clowns.
"The year I came to Manchester United from Aberdeen, Manchester City was relegated. They have been in the second league for a long time, only in recent years that they have continued to appear in the Premier League. They are far from stable, and their organization is far from perfect. I like Mancini. He is a good coach. When you have some new players in front of you, the task is always difficult and you must organize it well. He did a good job. Manchester City got off to a good start this season. I know they spent a lot of money. They bought five or six players in the summer, and they will keep doing this until they win something.
Manchester United general Evra also underestimated their "noisy neighbor" before the game. "Manchester City always likes to brag, but they will never beat us, and we don't care what they say. We don't need to just win against Manchester City. Our goal is to win the whole league. If we win, it's a good result for Manchester United, which is normal and nothing special. When we start this season, we are thinking about winning every game. Manchester United doesn't need too many players. I think the lineup is strong enough.
Compared with Evra, the 35-year-old Scholes performed very rationally before the game. "We want to win the championship, but we can't win everything. We are all eager to beat Manchester City, and even a 21-year-old newcomer will feel this way. We don't want to see Manchester City win something, just like they don't want to see what we win.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Manchester United's legendary striker Andy Cole insisted that Manchester United is even better than Manchester City.
"Manchester United's front line is still stronger than Manchester City. There is no doubt that the Red Devils will miss Rooney. When he is healthy, he is a terminator, but Hernandez is also a frightening striker. He had an excellent start at Manchester United. Owen may not have got as many games as he wants to play, but Manchester United also has Machida on standby. Of course, Manchester United and Li Yu, no matter which way they look at, he is the perfect striker and can make magic goals at any time. Sir Alex Ferguson may want them to play together with all our four-person and two-two combinations, just like us in 1999. I don't know why. It's very strange.
"I don't know about Manchester City. Tevez is their key player, but he can't always do it alone. Adebayo can play in most teams, but he doesn't play much in Manchester City. That's why I'm optimistic about Manchester United, especially because there is something wrong with Manchester City's locker room. Manchester City has lost three games in the league. If you want to win the championship, you can only afford to lose four or five games. Even if they win the derby, it won't change my opinion. As a Manchester United fan, I hope not to wait until the last minute to win, but in my opinion, it is not surprising that Manchester United scored at the last minute.
The war is approaching, but Manchester United's injuries are worrying. In addition to Rooney, who has not yet returned in the United States and is determined to be absent, Scholes and Giggs may also be absent.
Manchester United TV's pre-match interview with Scholes was cancelled due to ginger head discomfort.
Giggs may also miss this game due to injury. Giggs has participated in the derby 33 times in a row, which will be the first time the Welsh has missed the derby since 1991.
However, Ferguson is looking forward to tonight's game. "The derby has a fantastic atmosphere. Do you want to watch a game between Manchester City and Manchester United, or a game between Claire and Crewe?" According to the Daily Mail, about 400 police officers will maintain order tonight, and the police will draw a no-alcohol zone. If the police feel that the fans watching football in the bar will cause them trouble, they will have a special right to prohibit bars from selling alcohol tonight, or even force bars to close and stop operating.
People who can eat and drink on the spot are a group of happy fans!
The population of Man contacted here has vomited, and Manchester City will also appear on the stage!
In every season of the Premier League, Manchester United faces the two most important derby games, one is the England derby with Liverpool and the other is the same city derby with Manchester City.
But compared with Ferguson's respect and awe of the Red Army, every time before the Manchester derby, the Lord always habitually satirizes Manchester City, especially after the rich boss in the Middle East came to Manchester City.
In the middle of this week, the first Manchester derby of the new season is about to start. Ferguson once again made a psychological battle, saying that "Manchester City is always boasting that it has become a rich family, but it can't get any trophies." This hit the pain of Manchester City, and Mancini couldn't help but start to fight back.
Both Manchester United and Manchester City fans know that in the corner of the Old Trafford Stand, there is a flag that records Manchester City's uncrowned years. Now the number above has jumped to 34, and Manchester City's last championship can be traced back to the 1976 League Cup.
At the beginning of his tenure, Mancini vowed to tear off this humiliating flag with a championship trophy. Since coaching Manchester City for 11 months, he has brought Manchester City to the fourth place in the Premier League. In Mancini's view, this achievement deserves to be respected by Ferguson and other Premier League teams.
Mancini said bluntly in an interview with The Mirror: "Not only Manchester United, but all teams in the Premier League must respect the history of Manchester City players and Manchester City. Although Manchester City has achieved nothing in the past few years, they have a great history. We respect Manchester United very much, and we also hope that Manchester United will respect us. The number of trophies is not important. It is more important to respect and get respect from the opponent. I think Manchester United has now regarded us as a strong team, and the strength comparison in the past is gone. We respect Manchester United and Ferguson, because he is one of the best coaches in the world. But we know that we can beat Manchester United at any time, which is why this is a classic match between two great teams.
Last season, Manchester City played against Manchester United four times. Although Manchester City lost three games, they were scored fatally by Manchester United at the end of the game. Mancini believes that Manchester City has changed the gap between the two sides in the past, and now the two sides can be evenly matched.
Manchester United is a strong team. They will always be 'happy' to fight until the last second of the game and always win at the last minute. In their last game, they defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers at the last minute. They have strong psychological qualities, which is why Manchester United can win so many trophies, but the most important thing for us is that in the four encounters last season, Manchester City showed a level that is exactly the same as the opponent. Our strength has been strengthened again this season. Maybe we will lose, because losing in football is always inevitable, but anything can happen when there is a fight between two top giants of comparable strength.
If Manchester City wins, their points will catch up with Manchester United and go straight to Chelsea. Mancini believes that Ancelotti's team is the biggest favorite to win the championship, but if Manchester City can stay at the top of the table, it will have the ability to disturb the pattern of the Premier League this season.
"For me, it is important to stay in the second or third position all the time. I think Chelsea will win the league championship, but several of their subsequent teams will also have a chance, because the season is so long and difficult. My opinion is that Chelsea is better than other teams, but sometimes the best team may not be able to win the championship. Our lowest goal is to enter the Champions League. In addition, it depends on our performance. If we can still bite Chelsea or Manchester United in January and February next year, Manchester City will have a chance to win the championship.
And about Rooney's previous request to leave Manchester United, Mancini said he was not surprised at all.
"I don't think it's impossible for Rooney to leave Manchester United. Any player in football today may leave a team, but I have never contacted Rooney. I haven't seen him since I came here for a year." 25-year-old Rooney will continue to miss this game due to injury, and Manchester City's top scorer Tevez may also be absent.
According to the Daily Mail, Tevez will also undergo the final examination this Wednesday local time, a few hours before the start of the Manchester City Derby. At that time, Mancini will make the final choice. He needs to decide whether to make bold gambling and adventures to let Tevez fight against the old master.
It is said that as the captain of Manchester City, Tevez privately told his friends that his chance of participating in the competition is up to 50%. Although he is looking forward to the game, Tevez doesn't want to play closed.
In fact, Mancini allowed Tevez to play 90 minutes in the last round of the league, which may aggravate the injury of the Argentine striker. In the 13 games that Tevez started for Manchester City this season, Tevez was able to rest early nine times. Mancini was afraid that Tevez would be injured, but what he was afraid of. What the Italians were most worried about was the 0-3 loss to Arsenal. However, according to Manchester City, Tevez had a massage treatment yesterday. Although he did not fully recover from his injury, the club was optimistic about Tevez' appearance.
At the same time, the young rookie Azulin, who joined from Barcelona this summer, will also play tomorrow, but he will participate in a friendly match with the Ajax reserve team.
Azulin, who was once called "New Messi" by the Spanish media, terminated his contract with Barcelona this summer, while Manchester City signed a four-year contract with Azulin after defeating Arsenal. In addition, the Daily Mail also revealed that Wolfsburg recently inquired from Manchester City for Santa Cruz. Because Manchester City has been chasing the efficient striker Dzeko of Wolfsburg, Santa Cruz may become a transfer chip for Manchester City to buy Dzeko, but Mancini will also face Bayern's competition.
The FA officially announced that it would reject Manchester City's appeal against striker Balothely's red card and maintain the penalty for Balothely's three-game ban. He will definitely miss the Manchester derby against Manchester United early tomorrow morning.
In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated West Bromwich Albion with Balo's single two-one 2-0, but the Italians, who combined angels and devils, violently knocked down West Brombu Mulumbu in the second half, and then imposed a black foot, resulting in a direct red card.
After the game, Manchester City coach Mancini believed that Balothely's behavior was not as serious as the red card, and appealed the penalty of the red card to the FA. However, the FA still insisted on the original sentence of three-match suspension. "At today's hearing, we unanimously felt that the penalty for Balotheli was not too much, and the penalty for being suspended for three games will take effect immediately."
The failure of the appeal also means that Balothely, who has just regained his feelings, will definitely miss his first Manchester derby after his transfer to Manchester City, and will also miss the subsequent games with Birmingham and Fulham. Although Manchester City's lack of demon boys has made the game much worse, the duel between Tevez and the old owner still makes the game exciting.
In addition, Arsenal's appeal against defender Koscielny's red card was also rejected, and he will still be banned for two games.
A key point that Mancini has never said, Manchester United Kill God No. 9 Li Yu may be the key to the victory or defeat of the game.
Ferguson is the same. Both of them may know each other. It doesn't matter. The core key figures, needless to say, are clear on the field.
The key person, Li Yu!
At this moment, I really use the short free time before the game to video chat with Jenny!
A prospective bachelor man should also relieve the pain of lovesickness with his bride-to-be on the day of Singles Day.
Of course, before the war, great warriors needed the instructions of beautiful women!
"Honey, you will definitely score!"
With Jenny's instructions, Li Yumei went to the competition gathering place.
