Chapter 467 The Color of Manchester

Chapter 47 The Colors of Manchester
Manchester United scored a draw in cold Russia.

When the Manchester United players returned to Manchester from Moscow, it was less than two days before the Manchester derby in the first leg of the season.Such a schedule is quite a severe test for Manchester United's physical fitness.

Fortunately, Manchester United did not consume too much in the away game. The most important thing is that the team did not suffer from injuries and downsizing.

After returning to Manchester, the Manchester United players only had time to sleep, and the Manchester Derby was close at hand.

On October 25th, after Li Qingshan got up from the bed and took a shower, he put on his backpack and went out.

Li Qingshan lives in the west of Manchester. Most of the Manchester people in this area are fans of Manchester United, while in the east of Manchester, most of them are blue.

Li Qingshan walked out of the door, there was already a taxi waiting there.

This is Li Qingshan's new friend Martin after returning to Manchester United. Every morning and afternoon, the taxi driver Martin waits at Li Qingshan's residence and the Carrington training base.

Li Qingshan originally planned to get a driver's license and buy a car by himself, but now with Martin's enthusiastic service, Li Qingshan has infinitely delayed his driver's license plan.

Martin is a big guy, about 110 kilograms, and his lateral range is much larger than that of Li Qingshan.Every time Li Qingshan saw the driver's seat being ravaged by a mass of 100-kg fat lumps, he would observe a 3-minute silence for the poor taxi.

Martin is a native of Manchester, an extreme Manchester United fan, and he is also a chatterbox.

For him, there are only three things in life: his taxi, his rum, and his Manchester United team.He believed in Manchester United, and he also believed that the louder he yelled at the TV, the more influence he had on the course of the game - evidenced by the countless reversals of Manchester United....
Of course, this is not a good thing for his neighbors.

"You didn't drink to work today, Martin!"

Li Qingshan pulled away the co-pilots and got on, and put on his seat belt.

"Li! I'm a professional and dedicated driver! I can tell when I go to work and when I leave, OK?!" Martin said, rolling his eyes.

While speaking, the taxi also started and drove towards the Carrington training base!

Li Qingshan needs to go to the training base first, and then in the afternoon, the whole team will take a bus to Old Trafford.

Although the game is still seven or eight hours away, the derby atmosphere is already quite strong on the streets of Manchester.

On the windows of many houses, the flags of their respective support teams are hung. Of course, most of them are Manchester United.

When Li Qingshan was in China, he once heard such a saying that although Manchester United is one of the most successful clubs in the world, Manchester City is far from comparable to Manchester United in terms of background, and in the world, Manchester United fans are far more More fans than Manchester City. In Manchester, Manchester City has more fans than Manchester United.

The basis for this statement is that Manchester United fans often make fun of Manchester City for not winning major titles for a long time (35 years of championships); City of Manchester.

Since Old Trafford is no longer in the Manchester city area, Manchester United does not have as many local fans as Manchester City.At first glance, this statement is quite reasonable, after all, the community attributes of English football are very strong.

But when Li Qingshan came to Manchester, he found that this was not the case.

Li Qingshan once asked Martin about this question, but Martin looked at the bumpkin Li Qingshan with disdain.

"Did you know, Li! When I was in school, there were at least twenty times as many Manchester United fans as there were Manchester City fans! That's right, twenty times!" Martin said firmly.

Of course, Martin's statement is obviously purely bragging, but even in Manchester, Manchester United fans are more than Manchester City fans.

Li Qingshan has lived in Manchester for several years, and his feelings are quite intuitive.

Before the start of this season, Sky Sports TV, the Premier League TV broadcaster, made a special investigation.They analyzed the live broadcast data of 118 TV users in 50 postal areas in the UK, and counted the Premier League clubs that are most concerned by TV viewers in each area of ​​the UK.Among them, Manchester United topped the list, and they are the most watched Premier League clubs in 49 regions.

In Manchester, Manchester United is undoubtedly dominating the local area.When it comes to the number of fans, whether it is in Manchester or in the UK, Manchester United is the majority.This is the latest findings from Sky Sports UK.

In the entire Manchester area, there are obviously more fans of Manchester United than Manchester City, but in the urban area of ​​Manchester, the two sides are evenly matched. When the derby day comes, the city is red and blue, regardless of the number of fans on both sides. No matter how much, he will never lose to the opponent in terms of momentum.

Red and blue are so distinct on this day.Even the cars running on the road have their flags sticking out from the windows to show their respective colors on Derby Day.

With the blood transfusion of the local tyrants in the Middle East to Manchester City, Manchester City, which has been unable to beat Manchester United for ten consecutive years, has now won the Premier League twice.Especially in the 2011-2012 season, in the final game of the league against Queen's Park, Aguero scored a lore goal in the 5th minute of the game during the 904-minute stoppage time. , 3-2 completed the reversal goal, not only reversed Queens Park Rangers on the spot, but also a major reversal of the season. In the last minute of the league, Manchester United was reversed. After 1 years, they won the top league championship again.

The first derby in England was undoubtedly a duel between Manchester United and Liverpool.However, as Liverpool has not had a league title for more than 20 years, the gold content of the Double Red Club has inevitably declined.

Now the Manchester Derby has received as much attention as the Double Red Club.This is one of the most adaptable contests in the Premier League. If you only look at the era of the Premier League, from the dominance of Manchester United to the rise of Manchester City, from the two heroes taking turns to win the championship to the moon rising after Ferguson retired, from 1-6 in Dream Theater Up to 4-2 last season, the Manchester Derby was full of dramatic tension.There was no tie in the previous twelve matches between the two sides, and all of them were won or lost.The two sides each got six victories evenly divided.

After Ferguson retired, Manchester United fell from the clouds in the past two seasons, while Manchester City maintained a strong league competitiveness.

This season, Manchester United waved a check, Li Qingshan joined, and Ancelotti entered Old Trafford.Strong rise in the league.

The old king wanted to restore the throne, and the new king tried to protect the throne.

Such a drama, how can the red and blue sides not be boiled!
