my team is going to attack

Chapter 159 Red and Blue
The city stadium can hold more than 5000 people at most, which is not as good as some big stadiums in England, such as Old Trafford, Wembley, Emirates Stadium, and Anfield.

However, the current city stadium has become the last place the Premier League teams want to come to. Surrounded by more than 5 people, they are shouting loudly and last for a whole game. For away players, such an atmosphere Not a good thing.

Besides, starting next year, that is, the second half of the season, the City Stadium will no longer be called the City Stadium, but the Etihad Stadium. Another name may be easier to remember, the Etihad Stadium.

Mansour is rich, and even this stadium was renewed for 250 years in the name of the Manchester City club.

What kind of concept is 250 years, and what kind of situation the Premier League will be at that time, I don’t know, but at this time, Mansour has signed for 250 years, and the meaning expressed is different.

Manchester City used to be a century-old club, and it will be a century-old club in the future.

As a neighbor of Manchester City, since Ferguson took over from Mansour, even Mark Hughes can get so much transfer funds from him. When an excellent head coach takes over Manchester City, it is only a matter of time before the rise .

It's just that Ferguson didn't expect Manchester City to rise so fast, and it was Su Bai who led the rise of Manchester City.In just one season, Manchester City has become a force that cannot be ignored in the Premier League and a strong contender for the championship.

He never expected that Su Bai would lead Manchester City up so soon, which made him a little overwhelmed and unable to react.

What is the current situation of Manchester United? Ferguson understands it all too well. The team is a bit out of date. There are too many old players. In the Mesozoic generation, there is only one Rooney who can be reused. Yes, there is Navas just given by Su Bai. Except for the two of them, There are not many players in their prime, and they have not been kicked out.

Irving is no longer good, injuries have destroyed him, and Giggs, Scholes, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra --- they have passed their peak period, they can play two games a game There may still be a good performance, but for the whole season, you can't count on these old guys, and Ferguson can't use them hard.

In the last round against the Wolves, Hargreaves, who had been injured for two years, only played for 5 minutes and was injured again. Ferguson had high expectations for Hargreaves at the beginning. It's a pity that it is another player who has been tortured by injuries.

Little Pea Hernandez, who just joined the team, is indeed a talented player, but his state is too difficult to maintain. One super god and one super ghost, Ferguson wants Hernandez to dominate Manchester United's wing Offensive, that is really impossible, he is still waiting for his next Beckham, the next Ronaldo.

Ferguson actually believes that Bell is the most capable of taking over the No. 7 legend of the Red Devils.

It is a pity that as long as Su Bai is still in Manchester City, he may not be able to welcome Bale until he retires. In fact, since Ronaldo left, no one can take the No. 7 of the Red Devils.

Whether Di Maria, Sanchez, Depay——
No. 7 has become a curse for Manchester United, just like Manchester United's No. 9 has been suppressed by No. 7.

Ferguson looked at the Manchester City players who were warming up on the field, somewhat envious, and was also recalling his Manchester United class of 92.

"Sir, hello."

Solskjaer and Ruud van Nistelroo came to say hello.

"Long time no see Drew," said Solskjaer, who would often come to his home to learn how to be a head coach, but Van Nistelrooy had been gone for a long time. Ferguson also knew that Van Nistelrooy was unhappy leaving Manchester United, but It's been so long, Ferguson and everything have been put down.

"Coach, your body is still so tough." Van Nistelrooy hugged Ferguson with a smile and called him coach affectionately.

The big nose, which was already very red, became even redder. The smile on his face couldn't stop showing, and he patted Fanny's back harder.

At this time, bursts of applause erupted at the scene. It turned out that the director at the scene cut the picture of the two hugging on the big screen. Whether it was Manchester City fans or Manchester United fans, everyone gave them warm applause.

The players who were waiting for the kick-off also looked over, envious.

"Rud, don't score a goal today." Ferguson let go of his hand and said with a big smile.

The latter shrugged, "I don't even know if I can play."

Van Nistelrooy is very self-conscious about Manchester City's status as a substitute player.

"What do you think? Su." Facing Su Bai not far away, Ferguson asked.

"Sure," Su Bai replied with a smile, "As long as you let me score twice in the first half, it's not a big deal."

"Hey!" Ferguson showed Su Bai his thumb upside down like a child.

It seems that Mr. Ferguson is very happy today, but I don't know if he will be as happy as he is now after 90 minutes.

Manchester United's starting lineup today is also unreserved. The goalkeeper is Manchester City's old player Keylor Navas. He only played half a season in Manchester City and became Manchester United's starting goalkeeper. Van der Sar can finally retire with peace of mind, but I don't know what the next duck will be. what will happen.

On the back line, Ferdinand and Vidic sit at the center, while Rafal and Evra are separated on both sides. The two veterans are still the best candidates for Manchester United's center back.

In terms of midfield, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Nani and Park Ji-sung, five midfield configuration, plus Carrick, Nani and Scholes did not play in the last game, and their physical strength is well preserved , and Park Ji-sung, who has been in full form recently, scored twice in the last game to allow Manchester United to win Wolves.

The one at the top is not Rooney, but Berbatov, who is sitting on the bench.

Perhaps Ferguson is warning Rooney, he has Rooney on the bench for two league games.

Su Bai's starting lineup has not changed. When the players are healthy and in good condition, Su Bai does not want to change the lineup in the league. The goalkeeper is captain Hart;
The back four is Baines, Cahill, Kompany and Maicon;
In midfield, Cambiasso, Milner, Joe Cole, Rakitic and Bell;

The striker is naturally Ibrahimovic.

Kaka is still sitting on the bench, Su Bai is still not ready to let him play, and I don't know if he is ready, and Kaka needs to be given some time to adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League.

At the beginning of the game, Manchester City got a good chance. In the 2nd minute, Joe Cole made a long pass and found Ibrahimovic in the penalty area. It may be that Ferdinand was not ready at the beginning of the game, and Ibrahimovic opened the angle of the goal. , Such a distance is too simple for Ibrahimovic.

Just as he was shooting, a foot popped out from the side, and he poked the ball out of the baseline before Ibrahimovic shot. Ibrahimovic's right foot kicked lonely.

It was Vidic, Ferdinand's central defender partner. Fortunately, he made up the defense fast enough, otherwise the consequences would be a bit dangerous.

"My fault, my fault."

Ferdinand apologized to his teammates as he came to defend the corner.

City won the first corner of the game, Joe Cole went to serve, but it was too close to the goalkeeper, Keylor Navas struck and hugged the ball.

The next game returned to calm. The entanglement between the two sides in the midfield was very tight, and neither of them retreated. The fights were all near the midfield.

Hiding murderous intentions in the calm, Carrick and Scholes connected Manchester United's audience very neatly. Although they were blocked by Cambiasso and Milner every time, with their eyes flickering, Carrick was on the 9th. Minutes straight through Cambiasso's defensive area, Nani received the ball in front of the penalty area and turned around and wanted to kick, Cahill came over and blocked it with his body, not letting the ball threaten Hart.

In the 13th minute, Kompany fouled Fletcher in the backcourt, allowing Manchester United to get a free kick from 30 yards away. Nani shot directly, didn't hit the power, went around the wall, but couldn't get past it. special.

However, Manchester United's offense suddenly picked up. Two minutes later, Fletcher intercepted Bale in the midfield and hoisted it to the frontcourt. Carrick didn't wait for the ball to land, and turned around and kicked. Quite a few, out of the goal range.

Manchester United's offense was getting closer and closer under the push of Carrick and Scholes. Su Bai noticed this very keenly, and had to shout a few times to make the midfielders pay attention to the opponent's position.

Cambiasso has been in Manchester City for a few months. To be honest, playing in Manchester City is really much more comfortable than in Inter Milan. He no longer needs to go forward to organize offenses. With such strong teammates, he only needs to do his best. Good defense is fine.

Also, the salary given by Manchester City is really high, and his career has been very long, but Manchester City gave him the highest salary, and he didn't even think about transferring and leaving.

Seeing that the head coach was dissatisfied with his defense, Cambiasso quickly put away some inappropriate thoughts, and said a few words to his midfielder partner, and the two began to mop up.

Ferguson saw that it was a hot eye off the court, a Cambiasso is fine, you still have a Milner, I saw the two tirelessly becoming backcourt sweepers.

The first to bear the brunt are Park Ji-sung, Nani, and Fletcher. As soon as they receive the ball in the frontcourt, Cambiasso will gallop over. It is impossible to let you pass. You can only pass the ball, but the ball has just arrived. At the feet of his teammates, Milner appeared again and poked the ball away.

It was very uncomfortable, and the same was true for Carrick and Scholes. If they wanted to go forward, they had to go through the opposite midfielder. Even if Cambiasso and the others didn't want to deliberately hit people, it was really painful for them to push forward.

In the 17th minute, after the backcourt stabilized, Manchester City's offense came up again. First, Ibrahimovic used his worst header in the penalty area to attack the goal. Milner kicked the wall and bypassed Scholes. At the top of the penalty area, Rakitic pulled out a curved ball, crossed the crowd in the penalty area, and went straight to the dead corner.

Navas made a wonderful save, moving his feet quickly to the left in advance. Seeing the ball coming, his legs seemed to be spring-loaded, and he jumped up instantly, and slapped the ball out of the baseline in front of the goal line with one palm.

"Good shot!"

Rakitic shot beautifully, and Navas also saved beautifully.

But the problem is that Navas was given to Manchester United by you, Su Bai. Is this reasoning for yourself?

Anyway, Su Bai would not admit it.

For a corner kick, Joe Cole came and drove. This time it was pushed by Cahill, but it was pushed against Evra. He wanted to shoot again, but the latter hurriedly lifted the ball out of the baseline.

Another corner kick, this time it was Rakitic who came to kick-off, Kompany hit the ball at the front point, Vidic made a clearance, the ball flew out of the penalty area, and Manchester United's penalty area was immediately relieved of danger.

In the 32nd minute, Milner came up from the left side and found Joe Cole. The latter kicked from outside the penalty area and hit Vidic again. Is this guy magnetic?Why does the ball always greet him?
In the 35th minute, Bell couldn't bear it in the midfield. After catching the ball, he strode past Park Ji-sung.

Seeing that the opponent was about to enter the penalty area, Vidic came up to block and put Bell down 25 yards in front of the goal. Today's referee is Jones, who only gave Manchester City a free kick and did not play a card.

Su Bai stepped forward and walked to the side of the fourth official, "Is the referee's scale too loose? No cards are played here. It's a foul."

I hate these famous head coaches the most.

The fourth official complained in his heart, but still had a smile on his face, "Su, Jones has his own standards, and he will agree."

The distance of 25 yards is still on the left side of the goal. Free kick experts like this position very much. Bell came over without hesitation, took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, started, turned sideways, and kicked the ball.

The ball went around the top of the wall and headed for the upper right corner.

Bell has a good grasp of the angle and strength. After the shot, he began to stare at the line of the ball. Very well, it is a dead angle.

Manchester United's luck is really good, such a must score, Navas can still fly to save, Manchester City players and fans sighed, oops, it's this Navas again, who has resolved Manchester United's crisis twice up.

Su Bai really did something wrong, he shouldn't have given Navas to Manchester United.

The players were a bit tired from the continuous attack, and Manchester United came up. Berbatov faced the defender after receiving the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and suddenly hit it with the back of his foot. , Wipe the post and go out.

Hart made a symbolic save, but he didn't touch the ball. Fortunately, it missed the ball, otherwise, Hart would concede the ball again.

In the 42nd minute, it was already the end of the first half. Scholes kicked the opponent's calf while defending Milner. This time Jones was not soft and showed the first yellow card of the game. There were too many fouls Once again, the accumulation of a small amount becomes a lot, and several crimes are punished together.

Then, in the 45th minute, Manchester United attacked for the last time. Evra made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Park Ji-sung cleverly came around from behind Milner and shot the ball, hitting Cahill.

Then Ibrahimovic received the ball in the midfield and was about to turn around, but Carrick was shoveled to the ground. The whistle had already sounded at the end of the first half, but Ibrahimovic and Carrick stood up. Well, Ibrahimovic has the advantage , it seems that Carrick shoveled Ibrahimovic just now.

Jones immediately came over to separate the two and drove them back to the locker room.
