Chapter 85 If You Can 1
Children's shoes, happy new year, don't lose yourself, remember to go home, okay...

Mike, who suddenly became serious, allowed Manchester United to steadily withstand the pressure of Manchester City in the midfield competition.

It is true that he is a genius, but he also has inexplicable quirks of geniuses. Mike is a genius with little fighting spirit. For him, football is actually just a must-go path. He has never thought of other things, so he is not like most football players. As long as he has the desire to win, as long as it does not affect his touch time, winning or losing the game is secondary.

Even Thirteen, who is almost as smooth as him, has pursuits, but for Mike, everything is step-by-step, and even entering the first team is as smooth as he imagined. It is clear that everything has a degree.

For him, entering the England national team is only a matter of time. As long as he gets a position at Manchester United, he should enter the national team after a while. His football is like accumulating experience points and then full of upgrades. That's all.

But now suddenly there is a shortcut in front of him, and as long as he chooses to go, he can reach it.

This made him suddenly have a pursuit. Although he didn't show it, his actions have already shown that he is determined to win.

Of course, his ability to pass Nain does not mean that he is stronger than the other party. Success lies in being sudden enough and decisive enough.

However, Nain is not a vegetarian, and the two of them have completely become a situation of dying together in the midfield.

Fortunately, Manchester United without Ryan Giggs, most of the offense relies on the right.

And Manchester United, such as Ireland and Bellamy, can also organize offenses. Therefore, after seeing the two young people entangled, both sides took the initiative to move the ground. It is not a matter of life and death, so there is no need to guard A rope hangs.

It's just that the attack seems simple after all, and the threat factor has also dropped greatly. Although Ferguson and Mancini replaced Rooney and Robinho almost at the same time, the situation that has formed has not changed because of the two.

Kushchak, who was determined to impress Ferguson, also made two excellent saves, and Brown managed to keep Tevez off, albeit with difficulty.

The Manchester Derby did not score a big score this time, but its intensity made everyone who followed the game realize that the Manchester Derby is no longer a [-]-[-] game, and only a [-]-[-] derby can attract people. Neutral fans, the next game will be more intense.

Derby will be engraved on the city's business card and become a game that the whole world pays attention to.

Of course, the two teams will have at least one home and away game this season, the League and the League Cup.

The game ended in a one-to-one tie, but Ferguson was still satisfied. An away goal, although this goal is actually of no practical value, as long as it does not go to overtime, it is basically useless, but it is still an advantage and the away game is useless. Lose, don't you?
And after returning to the home court, the advantage is still obvious. The next round will be two weeks later, and Manchester United will welcome this brother from the same city with a more complete lineup.

If Manchester United did not regard Manchester City as an opponent before, then after this game, at least in the hands of Ferguson, Manchester City will be regarded as a team comparable to Arsenal and Chelsea, except for the strategy, there will be no contempt.

After the game, Mancini, whose momentum was slightly hindered, did not hesitate to praise Ferguson as rare in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.It's like a pilgrimage, but everyone who knows knows that from now on, brothers in the same city who are not friendly at all will be in the same situation.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, this is a development trend, although this is a rare good thing for fans, especially neutral fans.

Of course, Ferguson would not want to bully Mourinho in the same way. After all, Chelsea at that time was not only a nouveau riche team, but the coach also looked like a nouveau riche. Now Mancini is an old coach who has experienced many teams. , although they disdained it before the fight, but after the two sides fought, they were no longer so mean.

Of course, there is also the reason why Ferguson did not regard this rookie as an opponent. He may be optimistic about the future Manchester City, but as for the coach, he has not been in the Premier League for a season. However, Ferguson is also indifferent to him. He doesn't like him, but he is not afraid. After all, we are not in the same way.

If Mancini can stay in Manchester City for three to five years, even if Ferguson is proud, he has to be wary of him, just like Benitez now.

In the next two league games, Ferguson didn't worry too much after giving his players enough time. Of course, Manchester United's gradually improving lineup also gave him more choices in formation. It was so helpless for a month. At that time, there was no so-called rotation. Everything depends on how many players can play in this game.

Difficult December passed, Manchester United withstood the pressure, Ferguson is not in a hurry to buy players now, especially Berbatov seems to be not very willing to undergo surgery, but Ferguson uses him more often some concerns.

However, relying on Rooney's explosive continuous outbreak and Giggs' return from injury, after Manchester United beat Birmingham 1-0 away, they returned home to beat Burnley 3-0 at home to avenge their last defeat.

Thirteen, who has returned to the starting lineup, is still playing steadily. Many reporters feel that he has been slapped in the face when many people speculate that he has been sidelined because of conceding a goal a year ago.

The second round of the League Cup semi-finals resumed in midweek, Manchester City played against Manchester City at home, and the city derby started again after two weeks of calm, but this time it was really a matter of life and death, although the fact was not so serious.

But Ferguson's attitude shows that this is not a dispensable game. Whether it is for the purpose of winning the championship, or to continue to suppress the opponents in the same city and allow the players to accumulate psychological advantages, Ferguson is really playing with all the main players this time. It is the most complete one of Manchester United's League Cup campaign this year.

Goalkeeper Niu Shisan has become the main force. Although this is only the opinion of Manchester United players, Ferguson's arrangement has also made reporters and fans not deny it.

On the defensive line, Ferdinand, who is said to be likely to play in March and April, appeared in the starting position strangely. It was not possible to say whether he came to find the feeling or really recovered completely, but Vidic, Evra, La The playing of the three of Phil also shows to a certain extent that Ferguson has used the strongest lineup in the defense this time, although this will not count until last season.

Midfielders from left to right Giggs, Mike, Fletcher, Valencia.After a week's rest, the three main players except Mike all started. This is also Giggs' first League Cup match this year. Mike's current situation is basically a substitute and a start, no more than Cole Si's playing time is less, and even he and Carrick can be regarded as mutual rotations.

Of course, this is something that can’t be helped. Ferguson has to consider Fletcher’s defensive ability on the field, so before Mike is fully mature, the chances of him and Carrick coexisting on the field are smaller than Fletcher’s, but If defense is considered, Carrick is naturally better than Mike, but now Ferguson is more inclined to Mike in his heart. If possible, he may let go of Gibson and Anderson. Although the midfielder needs competition, if the competition is too much If it is, it is not very good, and it is not conducive to the balance of the two sides.

Of course, Mike's greater advantage is that he is a bit of a panacea in the midfield. He can play in any position, but Ferguson is not willing to let him become that kind of player. Players are given priority, which is not a good thing for a talented player. A genius must be focused, and too much non-specialization will only become mediocrity.

Forward Rooney partnered with Owen. Ferguson gave Owen enough opportunities. This month, he played the longest time for Manchester United except for Vidic and Evra. Rooney is now leading the Premier League scorer list with [-] goals. Although this It's just tied with Drogba, and there is only one or two goals behind Defobent and Torres, but Rooney is still very satisfied. Although he is a striker, the top scorer has always been far away from him. Now the opportunity It's coming, he has to take it seriously, it's just the League Cup, and he can't give up, look at the attitude of the old man, all the players know that if they don't win today, they will have to bear it in the next few days* Prepare.

With Owen's role in the frontcourt, Berbat seems a little marginalized.

Of course, Ferguson still hopes that the Bulgarian can have the surgery, because if the surgery is successful, Berbataba will be a surprise player in the season championship. If it is delayed now, there is no guarantee that he can persist until then.

Manchester City has not changed too much. Goalkeeper Shay Wen, defenders Lescott, Kompany, De Jong, Toure, midfielders Zabaleta, Nain, Ireland, Petrov, striker Robini O partner Carlos Tevez.

Tevez has been invincible recently, and almost all the defense lines facing him have been attacked like a beast.

And Robinho's state is also picking up, and he has also begun to gain the upper hand in the contest with Bellamy.

Petrov seems to have gained the trust of Mancini, and he spends more and more time on the court. Unlike Elano, who left at the beginning of the season, Petrov has really experienced Manchester City's big waves and finally rose. This is also commendable, and maybe he will not be able to achieve something this season.

At the start of the game, Manchester City kicked off first.

Robinho handed the ball to Ireland, and Ireland continued to pass back.

Nain quickly spotted Mike posting up after the catch.He was a little helpless for a while. Originally, the two should be separated, he was the one defending, and Mike was the one attacking, but now in his own half, he has to face the defense of the opponent's midfielder. The fight continued, could it be that this is the old enemy, no!
Mike doesn't know what Nain looks like, but Thirteen in front of the door is a little bit slanderous, this silly boy, in such a hurry, do others think you are afraid?
The two did not draw a winner last time. Although Nain scored a goal, Mike also passed him and completed a successful organization.

But today Nain is unwilling to affect the team's game rhythm because of his own reasons. Although Mancini didn't say anything last time, he also felt that he was a bit boring when he summed up. Why did Baba fight against Mike, so Watching Mike come up, he pulled the ball behind him, blocked Mike's interception, and passed the ball to De Jong on the right.

Zabaleta in front has already passed the midfield.

After receiving the ball and passing the ball, De Jong faced Giggs decisively and passed behind him.

Giggs certainly won't let the other party pass so easily in front of him.

When De Jong picked the ball, he turned around and rushed back.

When Evra stepped forward to defend, he flanked Zabaleta and forced the opponent to catch the ball out of the sideline.

Evra quickly throws the ball to Mike who is rushing over.

This time, it was an offense and defense switch. Nain followed Mike closely, and when he caught the ball, he quickly stuck to his back and put pressure on his upper body, forcing Mike to pass back.

Fletcher kicked the ball upfield.The first midfield confrontation between the two teams ended here.

Manchester City seems to want to compete with Manchester United for the midfield, but most of their players are close to their own penalty area, which seems to be a defensive counterattack.

Manchester United is not in a panic, after all, this is their home game. Although the League Cup system makes an away goal seem dispensable, there is no rush at this time.

The two sides started offensive and defensive trials, long-range shots and crosses emerged one after another, but they were all thunderous and rainy.

Old Trafford in winter showed a little chill in such a dreary atmosphere.

Ferguson chewed his gum and watched the game on the field, and he didn't feel like making a fuss because of sending the main force.

The dull atmosphere spread on the court. If it weren't for the red eyes, one might think it was a passing training session.

"The players on both sides don't seem to be in a hurry to attack. Of course, this game is related to whether they can advance to the final. It is necessary to be careful, but if this continues, the fans will be disappointed. It’s hard to appear.” Because it was the second round of the League Cup semi-final, and the Manchester brothers drew in the first round, the major sports media paid as much attention to this game as the Premier League game, and many Reporters are waiting for the moment when Manchester City beat Manchester United.

Although Manchester City has won a lot in the past, the environment is different after all. After attracting the attention of the world, fans are imagining when Manchester City will take over.

Chelsea, who have struggled for six years, is not considered a wealthy family, but it is definitely one of the top forces in the Premier League and even in Europe. After Manchester City defeated Arsenal and Chelsea successively, the media had to look forward to the rise of this new force. In addition to making this league more intense, it also makes it difficult for mid-range teams in other leagues.

"Mike, pass the ball, Owen, oh, offside? No, isn't Lescott behind?"

The field seems to have the possibility of sudden changes at any time.

PS: I don't care about Ferguson about the transfer, I plan to trade according to my own needs.
