Chapter 49 Bad Comers

Players from both sides stood on both sides of the Old Trafford player tunnel without squinting.

When the players line up in the channel, it is often the time when the players on both sides are the closest. There have been too many conflicts that have occurred here.

If it is a collision between two teams that have no grievances, maybe the players will have a few words with the opposing players they are familiar with. For example, the Argentine international Rojo may meet with Manchester City on other occasions The Argentine Aguero chatted a few words.But now it's a Manchester derby, no one took the initiative to chat with the other party.

Outside the player tunnel, Old Trafford was already full, and the loud singing of "There is only one full face in Manchester" completely overwhelmed the voices of the Manchester City fans.Among the more than 7 spectators in the Old Trafford stands, there are only about 1000 Blue Moon fans.

The media are no longer surprised by such a scene. This is the Manchester derby, a duel that affects the entire city.

"It's going to be too difficult for Manchester City to beat Manchester United in this stadium."

"Looking at the atmosphere, it's going to be a tough fight... against Manchester City."

"Manchester United is in such a good state this season. I really don't know what trouble Manchester City can bring to Manchester United in this stadium. If Manchester City can't stop Manchester United, then this season's Premier League, Manchester United will be the best."

"I'm actually looking forward to the battle between Li Qingshan and Manchester City's attacking group, the battle between Li Qingshan and Aguero, Silva, and De Bruyne. As long as Li Qingshan can score, Manchester United will basically win!"

"Don't forget, Manchester United still has Di Maria and Mata!"

"What a star-studded contest!"

The reporters in the media booth were talking a lot. For most of the local media in England, they hoped that Manchester City could win and slow down Manchester United.Otherwise, wouldn't the Premier League this season be too boring?

Ancelotti and Pellegrini first appeared on the pitch, and then the players walked out of the pitch under the leadership of referee Clattenburg and his coaching staff.

The 40-year-old star Clattenburg will enforce this round of the Manchester Derby.Last season Manchester United beat Manchester City 4-2 at home, also officiated by Clattenburg.And earlier, in the 11/12 season when Manchester United suffered a 1-6 bloodbath at home by Manchester City, Clattenburg was also left behind; and his law enforcement standards and some penalties in this game have been compared. Great controversy and criticism.

Old Trafford at the moment is like a volcano that is erupting, and every Manchester United player who played has been enthusiastically cheered by the Manchester United fans on the scene.When Li Qingshan, who was at the end of the queue, stepped onto the field, the cheers in the stands reached a climax.

There is no doubt that Li Qingshan is now the biggest star in this stadium!

"The players from both sides are on the field!" The commentators on the commentary booth became excited under such anger.

"Look at the atmosphere in this stadium, it's a crazy home atmosphere!"

"Manchester City introduced Sterling and De Bruyne this summer, which undoubtedly greatly improved Manchester City's offensive strength. The offensive duo composed of De Bruyne and Silva is unmatched. This season, only De Bruyne and De Bruyne Manchester City has never lost a game in which Silva played at the same time! Fortunately, Silva, who had previously been exempt from the game due to injury, came back in time to catch up with the Manchester derby!"

"Look at Manchester City's starting lineup. Their main players are all on the field. The goalkeeper is of course England's No. [-] goalkeeper Joe Hart. On the defensive line, the central defender combination is Otamendi partner Kompany, right back Zabaleta, Left back Kolarov. Double defensive midfielder combination Fernandinho and Yaya Toure, Sterling and De Bruyne on the left and right sides of the frontcourt, and Silva in the front midfielder position! Top at the top The one in front is Aguero!"

Before the game started, the commentator Andy Gray began to introduce the lineups of the two teams to the TV audience, and the commentators he invited, Gary Neville and Carragher, were responsible for analyzing the situation on the field.

"Manchester City spent a lot of money to form a luxurious team. Their frontcourt attack group is enough to make all the teams in the world envious. De Blaine, who was introduced at a sky-high price of 8000 million, played well in the last few games. In addition to his worth, the creativity of the midfield formed by him and Silva is amazing!" Gary Neville said with emotion.

"However, Manchester United does not hesitate to spend money. This season, Manchester United spent [-] million to bring in Li Qingshan!" Carragher continued.

"Speaking of Manchester United, Manchester United is also the main player in this game. Fellaini played the whole game in the Champions League in midweek. Before the game, there was news that the Belgian midfielder had a thigh muscle injury, but this game is safe. Lotti still started Fellaini."

"Manchester United's solid defense this season is very dependent on the three midfielders composed of Fellaini, Kramer, and Herrera. When attacking, the three midfielders participate in the offense without restraint. Except at certain times, Fellaini And Herrera will take turns going forward, in front of Manchester United's two centre-backs, there will always be at least two holding midfielders to provide protection for them."

"That's right, the reason why Ancelotti dared to invest so many people on the defensive line is of course based on the powerful attacking capabilities brought by the three attacking players Li Qingshan, Di Maria and Mata. This set of tridents The offensive combination is very complementary to each other. Mata's creative passing ability, Di Maria's dribbling breakthrough and speed, and Li Qingshan's dominance in the penalty area. The three-point division of labor is different, and the cooperation is getting better and better. tacit agreement."

"Di Maria's second season is much more adaptable than when he first came to the Premier League. Successfully retaining Di Maria is no less than a signing of 5000 million."

"But the relationship between Di Maria and the fans is a headache..." Gary Neville finally said.

Now if you say who is the most disliked player in the Manchester United lineup, it is undoubtedly Di Maria.Even if Di Maria has scored three goals and contributed seven assists for Manchester United this season, he beat De Bruyne and Silva of Manchester City on the assist list, De Bruyne and Silva The two players currently have assisted five goals after ten rounds of the Premier League, and Mata, who also assisted five times in the Manchester United team, is tied for second in the league assists list.

Although Di Maria is less often booed by his own fans when he plays, don't expect to get too much cheers.

According to past practice, Manchester United's No. [-] jersey was often the most popular number sold in the past, but the sales of Di Maria's No. [-] jersey this season are quite not optimistic.Not to mention the comparison with Li Qingshan's No. [-] and Rooney's No. [-] jersey.In the Manchester United team, the sales of Di Maria's No. [-] jersey even lag behind that of the newly joined left-back Sandro's No. [-]...

While the commentators were chattering, a series of pre-match ceremonies for both sides were completed.

Aguero stomped the ball under his feet and Manchester City won the kick-off.

Clattenburg was already checking his watch, and after waiting the final few seconds, Clattenburg put his whistle in his mouth and blew the first meeting between the two Manchester teams this season!
..........
When the game started, everyone soon discovered that Manchester City entered the state quite quickly.

Aguero passed the ball back and turned around and ran forward.Yaya Toure protected the ball in the midfield and then turned around and sent an extremely precise long pass. Although Herrera has been trying to interfere with Yaya Toure, with his strong body and precise footwork, this time The long ball with the right foot found Sterling on the wing.

Sterling stopped the ball with ease, but he didn't crave the ball too much, he quickly passed the ball to Silva.

Silva faced Cramer's defense very easily. After he took the ball to the middle for a while, he pushed it to Yaya Toure who came forward.

Yaya Toure made a long shot after getting the ball.Rojo had to step forward to block, but Yaya Toure had a very precise long-range shot.

After Rojo was brought out, Yaya Toure passed the ball to the ribs.

"De Bruyne!!!"

In this rather dangerous area, De Bruyne got the ball.

He took the ball near the baseline and then swept the ball across the goal.

Aguero in front of the goal was ready to tackle the shot. Fortunately, Hummels' position selection in the penalty area was very accurate, and he stretched out a kick to clear the ball.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City created a very threatening attack.

Hummels' clearance was controlled by City's players on the outside, Fernandinho passed the ball to Silva, and City continued to build up the attack.

Manchester City seemed unaffected by the fiery atmosphere of the Manchester derby and the Manchester United fans in the stands.

Driven by several players with outstanding personal abilities in the frontcourt, Manchester City's offensive transmission was very smooth.Different from Manchester United's style, Manchester City's small and fast players in the frontcourt cooperated and passed. They created threats through continuous passing and continued to put pressure on Manchester United's half.

Manchester City actually pressed forward to attack at Old Trafford, and their offensive looked so fierce.

This is obviously well prepared.

Ancelotti stood on the sidelines frowning.

He knew his team underestimated the enemy.The team's continuous winning streak this season has brought strong confidence to the team, and at the same time it has often given the team the capital to be proud and underestimate the enemy.

Not only Manchester United players, but Ancelotti himself also habitually believes that facing such a Manchester United, when other teams come to Old Trafford, they should first defend firmly and avoid Concede the ball first, and then seek other goals without conceding the ball.

It's not quite that Manchester City just broke the rules and pressed the offense from the beginning of the game.

Ancelotti was vigilant in his heart, he did underestimate the enemy a little bit.On the other hand, the preparations of the other party were quite sufficient.Although Ancelotti, as a veteran coach, has always been careful to remind himself not to be too blind and arrogant, but the elation brought about by the nine-game winning streak in the Premier League still affects him unconsciously.

This is true even for Ancelotti, let alone the Manchester United players on the field.

Manchester City launched a fierce offensive from the very beginning, which made it difficult for Manchester United players to adapt for a while. They originally set foot on the pitch with the idea of ​​attacking the opponent at home. How could they have imagined that they would be the one being besieged at the beginning of the game? , Manchester United players simply do not have this mental preparation.

Ancelotti just wanted to say something to cheer up the Manchester United players on the field and increase their defensive attention.The other party is not good at coming!

However, in the noisy sound of the scene, Ancelotti's voice was not transmitted to the court at all.

The scene that worried Ancelotti happened. In the 6th minute of the game, Manchester City scored.

Manchester United's players are also top professional players. After being besieged, as long as they don't lose the ball immediately, they can still enter the role.And Manchester United has a lot of defensive players.After the siege of Manchester City for a while, the situation on the field was gradually brought back by Manchester United.

However, just when Manchester United was about to slowly press up the formation and put pressure on the opponent, Fernandinho fell to the ground and tackled Mata with the ball.Mata fell to the ground with his ankles in his arms, but Clattenburg spread his hands to signal that Fernandinho had tackled the ball.

This is the standard of the Premier League. Manchester United's players did not have time to see Mata's situation on the field. The formation that had planned to move forward was forced to retreat quickly to defend Manchester City's counterattack.

Fernandinho dribbled the ball for more than 20 meters before passing the ball. Silva received Fernandinho's pass at the front of the arc of the penalty area.

Silva turned around deftly to avoid Fellaini's defense, and then passed the ball to the feet of full-back Kolarov who came up from the wing.

Kolarov made a direct pass. Of course, Aguero was no match for Hummels in the fight for the high ball. Hummels flicked the ball out of the penalty area.

But with bad luck, Hummels' clearance ball just fell into De Bruyne's area.

When the football was still in the air, De Bruyne had already set his bow and arrow. Before the football hit the ground, De Bruyne twitched the back of his foot directly. With a loud "bang", the football first flew high into the air, Then it fell rapidly, a falling leaf ball with strange lines!
De Gea had nothing to do with the ball, De Bruyne hit a world wave!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!"

Accompanied by the roar of the commentator, the Manchester City players celebrated wildly under the eyes of the Manchester United players...  
Ancelotti's face was livid, and the thing he was most worried about still came.

But what made Ancelotti even more angry about the conceded goal was that Mata was probably injured, and he is still lying on the field with his ankle clutched.

"This is a goal that shouldn't exist! Did you see it, did you see Fernandinho's action!! This is a foul!! Damn it!!" When the team doctor came to check Mata, Anche Lottie turned to the fourth official to vent.

But the last sentence "Damn" caused Ancelotti a yellow card. Clattenburg crossed half of the pitch, ran to Ancelotti and took out a yellow card, warning the Italian.

The next substitution gesture made by the team doctor made Ancelotti even more angry, but fortunately, the yellow card just now kept him rational and he didn't say any more swear words.

Mata was shoveled and had to be replaced.

In the opening 5 minutes, Manchester United first suffered a conceded goal, and then followed the trend with a general, casting a shadow over the game.

Manchester City is coming in a menacing manner, and the visitors are not good!
