Chapter 1264 Manchester United's Revenge

No.19轮主场2：3输给了布莱克本，No.20轮又客场0：3不敌纽卡斯尔联队。曼联和曼城之间的分差从两分变成了三分，又变成了现在的六分。

Manchester United are under a lot of pressure.

Since winning the league championship in the 2008-2009 season, Manchester United has never been able to win a league championship.

The league title of the 2009-2010 season belongs to Manchester City.Manchester United's performance that season was terrible, and they couldn't even compete with Manchester City for the championship.The Premier League title that season was won between Manchester City and Chelsea.

Last season, Manchester United's performance was finally better than last season. At least they were able to compete with Manchester City for the championship in the league, but they still lost in the end.

And this season, they once hoped to compete with Manchester City for the championship, but now the point difference has been widened...

Some people in the English media are already discussing whether Ferguson should retire.

In fact, after leading Manchester United to the 2008 Champions League trophy, there were rumors that Ferguson was preparing to retire.

But this preparation took three seasons, and until now Ferguson is still in Manchester United's coaching position.

No one knows how long it will take for him to retire.

Before that, most people actually didn't want him to retire.

But now after losing the league championship for two seasons, they have not even qualified for the group stage in the Champions League this season.Many people began to think that Ferguson's retirement might also be a good choice.

The football world is so cruel. No matter how many honors you have won in the past, it can only represent the past and cannot protect you in the future.

A legendary coach like Ferguson, who has made such great achievements, will sometimes be advised to retire.

It's really sad.

However, after Ferguson lost two league games, he stood up and made a statement. He was responsible for the team's failure in these two games, but he said that he would not retire because of this.

"...I said before that I planned to retire, but that was just retirement. I never specified my exact retirement date. Now I feel very good, both physically and mentally. I will continue to work for a few more years and see."

Someone asked him whether the rise of Manchester City would bring him pressure, and he also denied it: "Football needs an opponent. Manchester City is a good opponent. I am very happy to have such an opponent."

A reporter asked about the next FA Cup match.

Because in the third round of the FA Cup, Manchester City and Manchester United are about to play against each other.

"We are actively preparing for this game, and the two-game losing streak has not affected anything." Ferguson is not willing to talk more about the FA Cup game.

Everyone thought that Ferguson showed no confidence and felt guilty.

After all, the last time the two teams played against each other, Manchester City scored them six goals at Old Trafford and Manchester United's home court!
It can be called a tragedy.

It stands to reason that this should be a battle of revenge for Manchester United, and Manchester United should be very keen to talk about this game.

The two sides should have a big war of words before the game.

Players from both teams spat at each other and spat at each other.

But this time, not only Ferguson seemed very silent, but also other Manchester United players. When interviewed by reporters, they would never take the initiative to mention the Manchester City Derby.

It was as if the following FA Cup competition did not exist at all.

Or their FA Cup third-round opponent is not Manchester City, but some other irrelevant team.

Everyone thinks that this may be because after being beaten 6:1 by Manchester City at home, Manchester United was a little guilty and timid when facing Manchester City, and they were unwilling to mention this painful past.

"...Escape is not the way to solve the problem..." Before the game, the "Manchester Evening News" commented.

Manchester United did not take the initiative to mention their opponents, but Manchester City is very active here. Many people recalled the 6-1 away game against Manchester United in the first half of the league when they were interviewed.

They naturally knew that this was adding salt to Manchester United's wounds, stabbing a knife in their hearts.

But as mortal enemies in the same city, they just want to sprinkle salt on the mortal enemy's wounds, that is, they want to stab the mortal enemy in the heart.

Manchester City fans also made various 6:1 gestures online and posted selfies on social networks. On the one hand, it was to show off, and on the other hand, it was also provocative.

But no matter how provocative Manchester City is, Manchester United just keeps silent and doesn't respond, just like a tortoise.

But when the game really started, everyone realized that Manchester United was not a turtle!

In the third round of the FA Cup, Ferguson sent all the main players without reservation.

The performance of Manchester United players is completely different from that in the league.

The fighting spirit and fighting spirit they showed made Manchester City a little unexpected.

You must know that this game is Manchester City's home court, but after 5 minutes, the audience watching this game felt that this was actually Manchester United's home court...

Manchester United turned against the guest!

On the contrary, Manchester City's performance makes people a little worried.

They seemed at a loss in the face of Manchester United's ferocious pressing.

In the 10th minute, Wayne Rooney took the lead for Manchester United.

Manchester United took the lead away!

Only 2 minutes later, in the No. 12 minute of the game, Manchester City's main central defender Kompany received a red card for another foul with a flying tackle and was sent off directly!
"Oh! It's too bad! Kompany is sent off! Manchester City is not only missing one man, they also have one less central defender!"

"John, this game reminds me of the league game in the first half of the season. Manchester City beat Manchester United 6-1 away. I think the turning point of Manchester United's big score collapse was when their central defender Evans was sent off... Now this game is also the same, Manchester United away, Manchester City's central defender was sent off..."

"Alan, do you mean that Manchester City may also lose 1:6 at home?" John Mortensen said.

"That's hard to say. I just think this situation is too similar... Even if it's a coincidence, it's too coincidental." Alan Hansen laughed.As a neutral commentator who has played for Liverpool for a long time, he is neither a Manchester City fan nor a Manchester United supporter, so he doesn't care who wins or loses between the two teams.

※※※

Manchester City, with one less player, played very hard in the next game.

Benitez had to replace Milner and let Lucio come on as a substitute in the space left by Kompany.

But Lucio didn't play an immediate role after he came on the field.After all, he has been reduced to a substitute this season, with few opportunities to play, his physical fitness has also dropped significantly, and his performance is not as good as before.

Manchester United seized the opportunity when he had just entered the field and stormed his side. In the No. 30 minute, Welbeck passed the football to Rooney. Rooney scored twice with a shot from the penalty area!

"Rooney! Rooney!! Manchester United are two goals ahead! Manchester City with one less player is completely at a disadvantage!"

The cheers of Manchester United fans were deafening. Although they were away, many people came.

There is probably only one thought in the minds of these Manchester United fans: the way of heaven is reincarnation, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, if you don't believe me, look up, who is God bypassing!
In the league, Manchester United collapsed because they were sent off a central defender.And now it is Manchester City's turn to be sent off as a central defender. In this way, Manchester City is not far from collapse.

Just score one more goal!

If they can lead Manchester City by three goals, they will definitely be helpless!
※※※

After leading by two goals, Manchester United had no intention of stopping, and they continued to launch a fierce offensive towards Manchester City's goal.

In the first half of the league season, Manchester City did not intend to stop after taking the lead, scoring six goals for Manchester United.So Manchester United will naturally not show mercy to Manchester City.

Who told them to be rivals in the same city?

The so-called mortal enemies in the same city must "repay each other with grievances".

You beat me by five goals, and I definitely can't just beat me by four goals!

Manchester United, who went completely crazy, scored again in the No. 40 minute.This time it was Welbeck who assisted Rooney before scoring the goal.

After assisting Rooney to score twice, he also scored a goal himself.

"Welbeck! Welbeck!! Unbelievable! Manchester United leads Manchester City by three goals in the away game!" John Mortensen's voice was obviously surprised, and he was indeed shocked.

"It seems that this game is really Manchester United's revenge... Manchester United kept a low profile before the league, so they used all their strength in the game... In comparison, Manchester City, which shouted the loudest before the game, did not perform well. They seemed to have never expected that Manchester United would fight so hard. They were completely frightened by Manchester United's momentum!"

"City are three goals behind before half-time is over... Can we say the game is over?"

"Actually, I think that if the opponent in this game is not Manchester United, Manchester City should be able to accept this defeat. After all, it is the FA Cup, which is not a very important game for Manchester City. Moreover, giving up the FA Cup will also help them compete for the league championship and realize their promise of defending the Champions League..." Alan Hansen said. "But the problem is that their opponent in this game is Manchester United. In fact, it is not that Manchester City cannot accept being eliminated from the FA Cup. In the past two seasons, they have been eliminated from the League Cup and the FA Cup successively, but they have not hindered their success. They just cannot accept losing to Manchester United..."

"But now it seems that whether they are willing to accept this result or not, they probably have to accept it..."
