Chapter 83 Sky Blue Space
In the first round of the League Cup semi-final, Manchester United played away against Manchester City!
The so-called away game is nothing more than taking a car from Manchester's Old Trafford to Manchester City Stadium (I didn't notice this problem last time, please forgive me for the mistakes).

For Manchester City, which has not won the championship after changing the boss, the League Cup should have been tasteless but could not give up.

This is the closest champion to them now, and with it, Ou Sai can win ahead of schedule.

Although Ferguson does not necessarily have to fight for the League Cup. After all, if Manchester United can win the league championship this year, it will be very good. It has entered a fever pitch, and if Manchester United's youngsters can conquer this arena, then the Premier League will not be a big problem.

Manchester City's game results are not bad, but they are still far from the boss's ideal. The arrival of the famous coach Mancini solved the relationship between the two thorns in the midfield. Robbie and Bellamy rotated.

But the newcomer, Nain, firmly occupied the position on the central axis connecting the past and the future.

Since his appearance against Manchester United, he has not missed a game. Although the number of times he played the whole game during this period is not too many, it has become a habit to start. No matter whether it is the newcomer Mancini during the offseason Putting him behind the striker in doubt, Mancini even arranged a Christmas tree formation in order to solve the problem of Robinho's position in the last game. Even so, Nain still occupied the position that controlled the game.

No coach can give up a brain that can run all over the field.

If he is not too young, no one will object to using him as the core, even Robbie and Bellamy, because his passing is so comfortable that these two big players are embarrassed to criticize.

In fact, Hughes did a good job. When he left, the team missed a game but ranked sixth in the league. It was only three points away from the third Arsenal. Unfortunately, the owner of the Middle East lost his patience and waved his hand. Get out, of course the tone is not so decisive, but the behavior is not much worse. Being fired during the season is an indistinct stain for a coach after all, even though the reason for the dismissal is so superficial.

"Hey, Nain, the version of the game you gave me last time is not bad, is there a newer version, I can't find it on the Internet!" Walking in the player tunnel, Mike was excited when he saw Nain standing beside him. The state is beyond words.

"Yes, I'll give it to you in two days!" Nain, who looked like an iceberg, seemed to be much gentler to Mike.

"Well, um, we have a matchup today, you have to be careful!" Is this just looking for something to say?
"Really?!" Nain had no expression on his face again, showing no emotion at all. "Isn't Niu Shisan going today?" When the name Niu Shisan was said, Gu Jing Bubo's face twitched a little.

"No, this kid is doing well now, and the old man doesn't bother to let him play this kind of game." Mike had a resentful expression on his face, and it seemed that he was not the one who disdained Thirteen but himself.

I didn't put my mentality in order before the game started, and it's impossible to play well in this game.

"Really? I don't know if Ferguson still thinks so in the next game!" After speaking, he walked out of the player tunnel.

"Coax... Nain, Nain..." The Manchester City Stadium seemed to have become a sky-blue space, and looking at the current situation, it seemed that Nain had become the prince of this stadium.

I can also understand the mentality of the fans. How can a player who either assists or scores goals in every game not be loved by the fans?

"You seem to be very popular?" This is a treatment that Mike has never had before. Except for Giggs, everyone else in Manchester United is still a bit worse. only when you can enjoy it.

The city stadium, which can accommodate 5 people, is not at all smaller than Old Trafford.This kind of momentum is enough to make any visiting team walk on eggshells.

It wasn't until he entered the stadium that Ferguson realized that the current Manchester City is really different from what it used to be. For more than [-] years in the same city derby, he has experienced [-] opponents. Sir Alex never really took Manchester City seriously, but today He already felt that the difficulty a few months ago was not the sudden outbreak of Manchester City, but the expansion of a team's football background. Maybe the fans would not be so laissez-faire before, but now, everything is different. This is Manchester City. The sky here belongs to sky blue, and there is no red in this circle. The game between red and blue used to make the sky red because of the low blue. Today's Manchester City, at least in terms of momentum, has not lost. Maybe I thought I was humble before, but now But the confidence is bursting.

The rise of the upstarts always has to step on the shoulders of the older generation.

So today at home, in the sky-blue space, whether Manchester City can stand on the new stage depends on whether Manchester United can play a supporting role.

What Ferguson did was not too out of place. Except for letting Rooney continue to rest, the other positions are basically reasonable. It's just that, Manchester United, which should have an advantage in experience, has become a junior in front of Manchester City for a while.

Goalkeeper Kushchak, fortunately, although the Pole does not have the talent of the world's top goalkeeper, nor the experience of a first-class goalkeeper, but as a substitute, his stability still satisfies Ferguson.

Rafael, Brown, Evans, Evra on the back line.The comeback Brown and Evans don't know whether their status can be guaranteed. Evra's performance in the game with the captain's armband is not bad. Ferguson is supposed to be acceptable to such a lineup.

Midfielder Carrick, Valencia, Mike, Obertin, Carrick returned to the midfield, can add a lot of weight on the defensive end, the tacit understanding between Mike and Valencia is getting better and better, the two Coordinated passing is already the main means of Manchester United's offense now.

Obertan's breakthrough on the wing seems to require a big scene, and now, Manchester City's defensive players are not small. It remains to be seen how the future of a player who is brave enough to challenge, but for now, Ferguson can ignore it Franck Ribery is gone, no matter where he goes, it's great to train one yourself.

The forward line is still Irving with Welbeck.

Most of Manchester City's main players are here. Goalkeeper Shay Wen, the defense line has not changed, from left to right, Garrido, Kompany, De Jong, Toure, midfielder Zabaleta, Nain, Barry, Ireland, strikers Bellamy and Carlos Tevez.

Although Robinho is sitting on the bench, who knows when this guy who can hurt people will draw his sword.

The opening stage of the game was quite dull. Manchester United's players are used to slowing down, and Manchester City's rich people seem to be digesting their oil and water.

Ferguson on the sidelines didn't think there was any problem. This is a very normal thing. The two sides should look for their feelings first, and there is no rush to put the offense at the back. After all, this is a two-round match.

However, just when Ferguson thought that the game on the field would end under the killing of the midfielders of the two teams, Manchester City suddenly launched a fierce attack.

The old man was not foolish, he knew that it was because others didn't want to play with him.But he didn't do anything, this group of bastards didn't give their best without a little stimulation. If it was the finals, the goal was clearer. Now this group of guys may feel that it doesn't matter, and if they lose, they will lose.

What is the reason for this? It is said that the World Cup European Cup syndrome, but it is still before the World Cup?What kind of bullshit syndrome can there be, and these bastards don't want to think that if they don't work hard now, they must have their share in the World Cup?

This is not the case for Manchester City. Most of their players are fringe players in their respective national teams. Opportunity, but what about Manchester United?Is it no desire and no ball or purely no pursuit?

But no matter what the situation of Manchester United's players is, Manchester City's attack has reached the vicinity of the penalty area.

Nain in the middle is still cooperating with De Jong who is plugging in. Facing Carrick who is defending him, he doesn't care at all. Before that, he broke the ball from Mike's feet.

Ferguson is already standing on the sidelines. In the Premier League game, he can safely let the players play by themselves, but he is always restless in this game, and he really can't let go.

Maybe it's because I haven't lost for a long time, and there are already some diseases.

It's not bad to let them lose a game.

Thinking this way, but his hands directed the defender to defend.

Kushchak stared nervously ahead. He knew that today was his best chance to perform. If he missed it, the bench would become his long-term habitat. Can replace Thirteen, but if you don't work hard, you will never know what is needed for success.

"Mark the man, watch closely!" Bellamy's threat lies in his experience and decisive attack, this old guy is no more fierce than a young man!There is no awareness of old players cherishing feathers at all.

Evans had a hard time facing him. After all, the two were basically a generation behind. Similarly, Brown was also very helpless when facing his former teammate Carlos Tevez. The most regretful thing about the old man this winter is not that he didn’t buy anything in the summer. Good player, but let go of Tevez, plus Pique who is now called 'Pickenbauer'.

Although he himself knows that these two players will not give them too many opportunities if they don't sell themselves, but people are like this, the attention they don't want can be used by others, and compared to Manchester United's current weak defense and weak offensive forward Line, these two people are so dazzling now.

The football was passed to Tevez's side when Brown was very dissatisfied. Facing the Argentine, Brown almost pulled and dragged Tevez to run, but Tevez, who is indomitable, knows how to pass the ball. Well, he didn't pass because he felt that he could attack. Since this way didn't work, of course he would pass, and the pass was so deadly.

If you dare to pull, I dare to pull. With this in mind, Tevez took Brown's arm with one hand, and pushed the Englishman aside, and pushed the middle of the road at the same time.

Brown, who was unsteady, watched helplessly as the ball rolled past his right foot, but couldn't touch the ball.

"Bellamy, GOA..." The commentator of the city stadium has already roared out, but his shout is blocked by the brave Kuschak's fists like the long fans who jumped up in an instant but fell helplessly.

Bellamy stretched out his foot to block the football while entangled with Evans. The speed of the ball was not too fast, but the hasty Kushchak could only choose to hit the ball.

Ferguson, who was already discouraged, shook his fist fiercely, turned his head to stare at Mancini, wanting to see the expression of his new opponent, but when he turned around, he saw Mancini standing up excitedly, and cheers suddenly sounded in his ears And the whistle that cannot be concealed.

"GOALLLLLLLLLL, Nain, our prince!"

"Nain, Nain, we love you..." echoed through the azure space like red Old Trafford filled with "Ryan, Ryan, we love you...".

Ferguson suddenly felt that there was something wrong with his mentality. Otherwise, why would he be excited about a barely qualified save?

In the distance, Nain was waving his fist, facing the Manchester United bench, full of provocations!

The big screen in the stands behind him was replaying his powerful shot that made Shisan feel a little chilly.

That kick hit the goal like a cannonball, and Kushchak, who had just stood up, was looking blankly at the football inside the goal.

A famous player waved his fist in this stadium that belonged to him, surrounded by subjects who seemed to be worshiping him.

Ferguson curled his lips, young people always like to play tricks like this, provocation is nothing, this is just a goal, and you are just a young man without a champion!
Of course, Ferguson, who is as strong as Ferguson, will not talk nonsense here, just think about it, if he thinks he has lived too long, he can try to provoke the enthusiastic Manchester City fans.

"Who is he demonstrating against?" Some neutral fans asked the excited Manchester City fans around them suspiciously.

"Oh, maybe it's Ferguson! Doesn't it mean that as a sworn enemy, the future star of every team must demonstrate to the opponent's coach! Just like Cesc Fabregas, just like Rooney!" The fan wearing Manchester City's No. [-] The expression should be like this.

"Really? It seems to be true?"

On the court, Nain, who celebrated Fang Xie's return to his own half, also took on Bellamy's questions.

"Nothing, just dissatisfied with their belittling our performance!" Is it that simple?
Bellamy shrugged and stopped asking.

Just after kick-off, Mike wandered to Nain's side.

"Not bad! I have conquered this stadium. I wonder if you have ever thought about conquering the Premier League?" Mike's eyes couldn't hide the teasing.

"Yes!" However, Nain said such a sentence without looking back, making Mike feel like he was choking on rice balls!

It took me a long time to come to my senses, "Hey, you are so straightforward! Do you want to challenge Mike for a penalty kick?"

For Mike, the only thing that can change the color of this cold-faced guy is a one-on-one penalty kick with Mike. Perhaps no one has ever thought that when a professional player and a player with first-class shooting skills face another professional goalkeeper, The penalty hit rate is less than 50.00%.

"Tell him United goals aren't as tough as he says they are!"

"That's right, Thirteen is no longer on the field anyway." Mike smiled and followed Nain, as if in a close-to-defense posture.

Hearing Mike's words, Nain's feet seemed to soften suddenly, and when he started running here, a heavy snort full of coldness sounded in Mike's ear.

"If you want to get a free ticket to South Africa, get that guy!" When the ball was dead, Mike was called to the sidelines by Ferguson, but he just said something that made him puzzled again!
