Restricted Superstar

The derby will always be one of the most important matches in football.

In Manchester, if you win the championship, people may not praise you every day, but if you lose the derby, it means that you will be laughed at at any time when you walk on the street every day.

Before the wealthy people in the Middle East bought Manchester City, it was not easy for Manchester United to beat Manchester City. After the Abu Dhabi consortium took over Blue Moon, the Manchester City derby became even more popular.

After Abu Dhabi took over Manchester City, they recruited a large number of players and spent money as generously as Abu Dhabi's Chelsea.

However, Manchester City's performance was not as brilliant as that of the Blues. For two consecutive seasons, Manchester City failed to win a Champions League berth, which also affected their signings. Otherwise, their strength might be more powerful.

Even so, Manchester City is now ranked third behind Arsenal and Tottenham, behind Manchester United and Chelsea.

Of course, Manchester United is now extremely strong, leading Manchester City by 12 points. Manchester City basically has no hope of winning the championship. Their only goals in the league are to retain their place in the Champions League and defeat Manchester United.

Manchester City wanted to beat Manchester United, and Manchester United also wanted to double beat Manchester City, but the strength gap between the two teams was not big. In the first round at the City Stadium, Manchester United defeated Manchester City 2:1 with the help of Balotelli's own goal.

It has been several months since the last Manchester City derby. Manchester City has become more tacit and has also introduced forward Dzeko. It is hard to say whether Manchester United can win Manchester City at Old Trafford.

In order to ensure victory at home, Ferguson conducted targeted training based on Manchester City's playing style.

Manchester City is in the rebuilding stage and they buy a lot of players every season, so their tactics have been changing. During the last Manchester City Derby, Manchester City's formation was still 433, but then Mancini played 451 for many more minutes. Formation, in recent times, Manchester City has been more of a 451 formation. If Manchester United only dealt with Manchester City based on the way they played in the last derby, there would be a big problem.

Although Mancini prefers offense among Italian coaches, the defensive factor is still engraved in Mancini's heart. His team still focuses on defense and plays beautiful football on the basis of solid defense.

Last time Manchester City's three midfielders made Manchester United play very hard. Recently, although Manchester City's 451 formation uses two midfielders, it is still very difficult for Manchester United to break through if there are five players in the midfield.

Manchester City's offense is mainly launched from the wing. Mancini's favorite is to attack from the wing, with the central midfielder inserting a shot.

But tearing apart Manchester City's defense from the wing is still Ferguson's first choice. Rather than penetrating through the middle to penetrate Manchester City's third midfielder, Ferguson would rather attack Manchester City on the wing.

Manchester United's ability to penetrate the center is slightly better than that of Manchester City, but it is too difficult for Manchester United's center to open up Manchester City's center defense. It is better to compete with Manchester City on the wing.

When Manchester United was training, Ferguson suddenly noticed the players pointing at the sidelines.

Ferguson was very unhappy and yelled at the players, Please pay attention!

However, after Ferguson finished yelling, the players still looked at the sidelines from time to time. Ferguson was a little surprised. He turned around and saw that there was an extra spectator on the sidelines.

Today's tactical drill was not open to fans and media. Ferguson was surprised why someone came in to watch. After a closer look, Sir Alex discovered that the spectator turned out to be Manchester City forward Balotelli. He was waving to Gao Xiaodong frequently. .

Ferguson's brain was short-circuited for a moment. Manchester City players actually went to the Carrington base to watch Manchester United's training? Although the training bases of the two teams are very close to each other, this kind of thing has never happened.

How did you get here?

Ferguson asked Balotelli in surprise.

Balotelli said lazily: Brain teaser? Of course I walked in.

Ferguson was so annoyed that he couldn't even laugh. He said with a stern face: We are training in a closed environment today, and visitors are not welcome.

Balotelli still looked indifferent.

I'm not here for a visit, I'm here to see Gao Xiaodong.

Ferguson was speechless. Looking for Gao Xiaodong at this time, are you a liar? That's not okay. Today's closed training, please leave here. Ferguson said with a straight face.

I came in so easily, why should I leave? Balotelli shook his head and refused to leave.

Ferguson wished he could call the security immediately to take Balotelli out. However, although this Balotelli has some mental problems, he is still a famous star in world football. If reporters see him doing this, it will probably cause a stir. Wave it.

Ferguson is also an old man. He immediately came up with a way to deal with this second-rate Balotelli. He called Gao Xiaodong over and said with a stern face: Deputy Gao, this man said he came to see you, you figure out what to do. Bar.

When Gao Xiaodong saw Balotelli coming, he was so frightened that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. He was worried that this guy said he was coming to find him, but he didn't expect Balotelli to say so.

Okay coach, leave it to me.

Gao Xiaodong looked at Ferguson as if he was solving a problem for the team, but as soon as Ferguson turned around, the guy immediately walked towards Balotelli with a wry smile.

Mario, what are you doing here? Gao Xiaodong frowned and asked Balotelli.

Balotelli smiled and said: The game is about to start, I'll come over to watch you train.

Damn, can you just watch this? We just want to compete with you, but Balotelli can't explain this to Balotelli, and Gao Xiaodong doesn't want to explain it. From the bottom of his heart, he is actually a little moved. It is not easy to have a friend in this foreign country, even if his brain A little wet, Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly, How did you get in?

Balotelli said with a smile: I came in with the players in the trial.

Gao Xiaodong was speechless. This boy was a crooked person in this regard.

Gao Xiaodong asked: How does our first training compare with yours?

Balotelli said: The level is average, not as good as Mancho.

Gao Xiaodong pretended to be surprised and said: True or not, I don't believe it. Sir Alex has been coaching for his whole life, can he be as good as Mancini?

This is a panacea. If Balotelli said that his level is very high, then Gao Xiaodong would change it to say that Mancho is also a world-class coach. How bad can his level be?

Balotelli said: If you don't believe me, go and have a look.

Gao Xiaodong said: Okay, you take me to see it.

Balotelli said: Okay, when will we go?

Gao Xiaodong said: Go now. There will be a competition tomorrow. If you don't go today, you won't have time.

Balotelli said: Okay, let's go now.

Let's go.

Gao Xiaodong walked with Balotelli outside the base.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong take Balotelli out of the base with just a few words, Ferguson was dumbfounded and thought to himself, Damn, this Chinese kid is really a ghost, Balotelli can hold it, if he can really go to Manchester City After walking around the training ground, I immediately made him the captain of Manchester United.

Balotelli can sneak into Carrington, but Gao Xiaodong has no way to go to the training base next door. He is a Ballon d'Or winner, Manchester City's number one enemy, and a rare yellow man. Manchester City's doorkeeper is far away. After recognizing him, of course they wouldn't let him in. Gao Xiaodong, of course, had no intention of going in at all. The guard refused to let him in. Gao Xiaodong took the opportunity to let Balotelli go back to training, and he hurried back.

There were fans lurking outside the training bases of Manchester United and Manchester City, looking for their idols to ask for autographs and photos. Gao Xiaodong was secretly filmed sending Balotelli back to the Manchester City training base. As a result, the Internet became lively at night, and fans were all excited. They tried their best to guess what kind of drama these rivals from the same city were performing today, but no one knew that this was just a prank by Bashen.
