Chapter 207 European Super Cup

August 8, Stade Louis II, Monaco.

UEFA Super Cup, Manchester City vs Manchester United.

This is the first time in the history of the European Super Cup that there has been a derby in the same city.

In the crowded stadium, the red and blue are separated, which is very distinct.The fans were clamoring, shouting and cheering for their team in the stands.

The atmosphere on the court was as if it had been poured with hot oil.

Monaco, which has a Mediterranean climate, is hot and dry in summer, and the short sleeves on his body have been stolen by sweat, but Duncan still doesn't notice it.

In the 40th minute of the first half, the team fell behind Manchester United 0:2.

At the beginning, Vidic headed home to help Manchester United open the scoring, and then Elano moved forward and scored at the top of the penalty area.

Manchester United took a two-goal lead.

Ferguson is very happy. Being able to lead the rivals in the same city by two goals in the UEFA Super Cup is a very happy thing under any circumstances.

Compared with the joy of Manchester United players, Manchester City players are a bit depressed.

In the previous two games, the team's performance was not satisfactory, but at least they did not lose. This game against Manchester United is the first time against a strong team. Is the team going to lose?

Then the team's first half ended, and when the Manchester City players walked off the field, they were all confused and depressed.

Ferguson saw it, and his determination increased a little. He thought that according to the current situation of Manchester City, they could only admit defeat.

Thinking that this game was actually his first victory over Duncan, Ferguson was even a little excited.

He quickly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and made a calm expression on the surface.

Low-key, must be low-key.

Manchester City's dressing room.

The players were listless and unable to cheer up.

Duncan knew the reason, but he was still a little disappointed.

He was disappointed by the lack of fighting spirit of the players.

"There have been a lot of criticisms recently, I think you must know. But you may not have read them all?" Duncan suddenly took out a newspaper and said, "But I don't think you all remember it, so now, let's Let me read it to you."

Then Duncan really took the newspaper and began to read it seriously, word by word.

"...I am very grateful to Duncan. He let me know that money is not everything. In one summer, he spent nearly 9000 million euros, but what did he bring? A bunch of parallel imports! I think people will recall and summarize this season in the future In the Premier League, Manchester City will definitely have the nickname of 'concentration camp for parallel imports'. So far, the players that Manchester City has introduced this season have not even contributed a single goal, even if they have no assists. The football field is sad, money is not everything Yeah, you can buy players, but you can't buy a cohesive team...”

Duncan read halfway, and didn't read any more. There was already a heavy breathing sound in the locker room.

Some people's faces were flushed, and some people's hands were bulging.

Yaya Toure didn't, his face just got darker.

"What I just read was the reports written by outside reporters. After I saw the unscrupulous reports written by these unscrupulous reporters, I was as angry as you are!" Duncan pulled his hands and tore up the newspaper. Broken and thrown in the trash.

"But I'm both angry and powerless. What's angry is that these reporters are turning black and white and pointing at others! My own team, it's not up to them to make irresponsible remarks. But I also feel powerless," Duncan spread his hands: "I wanted to use my excellent record to slap them in the face, but in the end, it seemed to be my own face. The team did not perform well, and I couldn't find any reason to shirk it."

"It shouldn't be like this! We were the Premier League champions last season, and we were able to get out of the face of Manchester United several times. Why did this game fail? I don't accept it! What about you?"

"Boss, I don't agree!"

"We are definitely better than Manchester United!"

"In the second half of the game, let Manchester United look good!"

The players expressed their opinions one by one.

In the locker room, the crowd was excited for a while.

As an ordinary player, each of them has a strong self-esteem.The report in the newspaper made the anger in everyone's heart burn up instantly.

Everyone has a bottom line, and being insulted as "incompetent" and "parallel importers" is something that no one can bear.

What's more, what about these famous and powerful players?
fuck it!

"Very good!" Duncan clapped his hands: "There are still 45 minutes in this game, and you are still two goals behind! Go on the field and win this game! Prove to those media reporters, to the world, and to yourself, You are not parallel importers! Prove that you are the strongest!"

The second half of the game began, and the two sides returned to the field again.

Ferguson was still a little worried. He stood on the sidelines and watched for a while, and found that Manchester City had not adjusted from the lineup to the players to the positioning, so he was relieved.

If Manchester City still sticks to the tactics of the first half, then Ferguson had already made some tactical pre-arrangements during the halftime break, but they can perform and practice in the second half of the game.

Manchester City has invested a lot this season, but it seems that this investment is not effective.Look at that Yaya Toure, he is simply a slob on the court, he is not active in steals, and he is not serious about returning to defense. What is the use of bringing in such a player?

And that Lichtsteiner, does this guy practice track and field?Just know how to run around?

The only one that Ferguson is still interested in is Diego Lopez.This little guy's save is amazing, does he have eight hands?
Seeing that Manchester City did not make adjustments, Ferguson turned around and walked to the bench. Ronaldo was injured and the team needed some tactical adjustments. This game gave Ferguson a lot of inspiration. He planned to discuss with his assistants how the team should adopt some tactical plans without Ronaldo.

Just turned around and took two steps, Ferguson suddenly heard cheers behind his head.

Ok?
what happened?
what's the situation?
Ferguson was a little caught off guard.

When he turned around, he saw a tall black figure, with his mouth wide open showing white teeth, running towards the bench.

And the clothes he was wearing were blue!
Behind the black figure is Van der Sar lying on the goal line.

Manchester City scored?
what happened?

The running player is Yaya Toure!

Yaya Toure ran to Duncan, clutched his fingers, and shouted: "Coach, I scored a goal! I am not a parallel importer! I am not a parallel importer!!"

"Of course you are not! I bought you!" Duncan nodded, and said fiercely, "You are the player I chose! How could you be a parallel importer!"

Yaya Toure was so excited that he gave Duncan a big hug.

Oh my god!

This big black guy has really strong hands, my chest and ribs are almost bursting!

On the other side, Ferguson saw what happened just now on the big screen at the scene.

Hargreaves' pass to Yaya Toure was a little too big, and Scholes and Fletcher came up from both sides, trying to close the door and get stuck.

This defensive option is obviously bullying Yaya Toure's tall stature and slow speed.

But Yaya Toure burst out of strength in an instant, accelerated suddenly, stepped forward with long legs, and suddenly squeezed into the double-team of the two, and then broke through the defense of the two at once, and controlled the football.

Oops!

Elano hurried up to intercept, and Ferdinand helped defend not far behind.

Elano came up in this game to freeze Manchester City's offense.

Yaya Toure ignored Elano's defense at all, and bounced Elano away with a reasonable collision with his body.

Then he looked up and shot decisively from a long distance.

The football angle is not tricky, but the speed is extremely fast, and Van der Sar can't react in time.The football went into the net!
1:2!Manchester City pulled one back!
