Chapter 235 Manchester Derby
November 11th is a very familiar day for Chinese people, Singles' Day, but it is also a shopping festival.

But for the British, this day doesn't have so many special meanings, it's just that this day of the season is the Manchester Derby.

"After 11 rounds of matches, Manchester City ranked first in the league with 9 wins, 2 draws and 29 points, while Manchester United ranked seventh in the league with 20 points. Since the Premier League era, this is the most time that Manchester United has fallen behind Manchester City! "

"Manchester United's record this season has been terrible and I think manager Jose Mourinho has to take full responsibility."

Watching the TV, Scholes was talking there.

Mourinho directly turned off the TV in the office.

"fxxk! None of these famous celebrities can do it. Before the big battle, say something frustrating! Put you in my position, and you will definitely go straight to the relegation zone!"

After scolding, Mourinho put on the glasses hanging on his chest and began to study the starting list again.

How the opponent Manchester City will arrange the starting lineup is basically just a few routines, and the focus is estimated to be on the right winger and center forward, and the other positions are fine.

"Oh, yes, there is also the left back. Mendy has returned, will Zinchenko be used?"

Mourinho muttered to himself.

Mourinho looked carefully at Manchester United's player list.

Because Pogba is injured, Mourinho has a different idea about the formation.

For the player Pogba, Mourinho is very disgusted. Although Mourinho often utters wild words and looks arrogant, many fans put Mourinho into the ranks of new coaches, but in fact Mourinho Neo's leadership has always been the old-school coach's way. He attaches great importance to his authority as the head coach. He was able to succeed at Chelsea and Inter Milan before. His management has also played a very important role. role, but the problem is that the younger generation is now rising, like Pogba, Mourinho just can't understand it.

But Pogba is very strong, so he had to use it, but he was injured before this game, so Mourinho's formation was a bit stretched.

"Do you want to try 442?"

Mourinho had a whim.

"Anyway, the team's right side has been paralyzed for more than a day or two. Guardiola will definitely attack this point. I will do the opposite, engage in 442, and strengthen the defense in the middle."

So, after making a decision, Mourinho simply cleaned up and left the office straight away.

Get in the car and drive directly to the hotel where he is staying.

At this time, the guards at the entrance of the training base saw Mourinho's car and curled their lips in disdain.

"How long have you been here at Manchester United? You still live in a hotel. It looks like you don't want to live in Manchester all the time. How can we Manchester United fans accept this kind of coach?"

He complained to his fellow workers.

"Okay, what are you talking about, if this Manchester Derby loses, the possibility of Mourinho's dismissal will only increase rapidly."

"Seriously, do you think we can beat the next door now?"

"What do you think? They have such a good momentum, but I definitely believe in our team."

At this time, on the other side, in Guardiola's office.

Guardiola is making tomorrow's starting arrangements.

This time, at the left back position, he used Mendy, who has returned from injury, and on the right, he used Sane, who has a stronger impact. As for the center position, he chose Aguero , After all, in the last Champions League group match, Aguero was capped and was in good form, while Jesus has only scored 4 goals since the beginning of the season, which is indeed a bit less.

Since the beginning of the season, Aguero has scored 11 goals in all competitions. However, Wang Yi scored the most goals in the team. A total of 20 goals were scored in all competitions. This is because Wang Yi did not play in the FA Cup and the league Cup case reached.

So every time when choosing a starter, Wang Yi is the one Guardiola puts directly on the starter without even thinking about it. Only a few people in the team can enjoy this treatment. Browne, Guardiola sometimes chooses to use other people instead.

The trust in Wang Yi is also evident.

As for this Manchester Derby, Guardiola is actually a bit sniffy. He doesn't think this Manchester United team can bring any threat to his Manchester City team.

Especially Mourinho, in his opinion, is already outdated. If he is dismissed from the position of Manchester United's coach this time, it may be difficult for a wealthy family to ask him in the future.

Although Guardiola also worked with Mourinho back then, he was far from the good friend that the media said.

He has friends, but there is no Mourinho among them, but later the two fought fiercely in Barcelona and Real Madrid, and the traffic between the two is basically the ceiling in the head coach, so the two are often compared Together, but Guardiola did not feel honored at all.

After all, in his opinion, he is going uphill, and Mourinho has gone downhill.

"Your set of things is no longer suitable for this era, Jose!"

Guardiola whispered to himself.

The next day, the Etihad Stadium.

The first team in the league will go to the seventh place in the league, but the title of the Manchester Derby means everything. The fans have come early, and outside the Etihad Stadium, the local police in Manchester are also ready early.

It is to guard against the extreme fans and football hooligans among the fans of both sides.

But still couldn't stop it.

There was a sudden explosion in an alley next to the Etihad Stadium.

The policemen on the main road looked at each other.

Two out of the 10-member team ran towards the alley.

"Ben, are you a fan?"

"I'm not a fan of Manchester City, my home team is Aston Villa."

"Hey, it's a home team with the Royals. I'm an Arsenal fan. Look at the staff selected today, none of them are fans of both sides of the Manchester Derby, otherwise there will be big problems."

"What can go wrong, it's just a derby, not to mention that these two have only confronted each other in the past few years. Before the oil came in, Manchester City had always been a standard lift."

"That's right, the Shuanghonghui is much stronger!"

"Ade, when are we going? Are we standing at the entrance of the alley?"

"Wait until the fight is over. Anyway, they are not good birds. They are just football hooligans. When they finish their own work, we will go up and handcuff them. Why bother? The game is about to start. Fighting here is a waste of tickets. time."

When the two policemen heard the voice gradually weakening, they walked in.

At this time, just like what the policeman said, the game is about to start.

Manchester City came out of the locker room first.
