Chapter 363 Manchester Derby!

On September 2016, 9, the fiery atmosphere of the Manchester Derby reached its peak.

In the past two days, as the time for the Manchester Derby draws closer, there have been more and more frictions between fans of Manchester City and Manchester United, making the police in Manchester very busy.

The game between Manchester City and Manchester United is also the opening match of the fourth round of the Premier League, and it is also the first head-to-head confrontation between the two top world coaches in today's international football in the Premier League.

This derby has also been hailed by the world's major media as the battle of spear and shield, the song of ice and fire.

Every red and blue city in Europe is writing its own song of ice and fire.

Serie A Milan Derby, Rome Derby.

But in front of today's Manchester Derby, they will all be overshadowed.

Because today there are two top coaches in the world, a global star worth 7 million pounds, and the attention of 10 billion viewers around the world.

The trident in the Red Devil's hand was once the sharp weapon of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and perhaps today it will reveal its unrivaled sharpness, tearing apart all enemies standing in front of it.

And in the shield in the blue ocean of Manchester City, the Blue Moon Legion will set sail against the storm, and the rose flower may also bloom like a flame, turning all enemies into ashes.

But now who will win and who will lose, everything is still unknown, and everyone is waiting for the suspense to be revealed.

At around 11 am London time, there is still nearly an hour and a half before the start of the Manchester Derby.

But the streets of Stretford are already full of people, and a large number of Manchester United fans began to take to the streets, heading towards Old Trafford together.

Outside Old Trafford, a large number of Manchester United fans were singing Manchester United's second team song "Glory Glory Man United".

"Glory Glory Man United!"

"Glory Glory Man United!"

"Glory Glory Man United!"

"As the reds go marching on on on!"

"..."

"With rooney and ronaldo and the magic at their feet!"

"..."

"Glory Glory Man United!"

"Glory Glory Man United!"

"..."

The high-pitched and inspiring Manchester United anthem was repeated over and over Old Trafford.

Whenever the singing outside the stadium falls, the singing of Manchester United fans who have entered the stadium first in the dream drama will sound, echoing each other.

And from the singing of Manchester United fans, they can hear their strong confidence in winning this derby.

"fcuk off!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"You're dead!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Not long after, the Manchester United fans outside the stadium sang and fell, and a fan who was queuing up to enter the stadium, a fan with blue hair and a hideous face, raised his middle finger and roared hoarsely.

"You're dead!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The counterattack of the blue-haired fans immediately ignited the Manchester City fans who were watching Manchester United fans outside the stadium, and immediately yelled at the Manchester United fans collectively.

The Manchester United fans were immediately flammable and explosive, and the black and white crowd instantly overwhelmed them. Some neutral fans nearby were terrified.

The Manchester city police, who had been prepared for a long time, intervened in an instant. Two rows of policemen used explosion-proof shields to pull up two human walls to separate the fans of Manchester City and Manchester United.

In an instant, the fans of both sides exhaled fragrance to each other through the shields, and the venom splashed everywhere. The scene looked extremely, extremely scary.

However, this scene is too familiar to the police in Manchester City. It is strange that fans on both sides of the Manchester derby do not make trouble every time.

Therefore, the police in Manchester City handled it with ease, and quickly dispersed the fans of Manchester United and Manchester City, killing a gang fight in the cradle in time.

Off the court, the fans of both sides are in the same situation, and the two are incompatible.

At the pre-match media conference on the court, the two famous coaches, Mourinho and Guardiola, were harmonious and harmonious, without any tension.

After the two met at the press conference, they both smiled brightly and gave a warm hug in front of the media all over the world, showing a strong gentlemanly demeanor.

Guardiola even made a joke, saying that if Mourinho invited him to the office for a glass of red wine after the game, he would readily accept it.

Guardiola: "We all know that this game is very important to the fans, the club, the players and myself. We must maintain a high degree of focus, do our own thing, and turn the game into our own rhythm. We will Stick to your football philosophy.

Manchester United are a very strong team, Jose Mourinho is a great manager, we have to pay attention to that..."

Mourinho: "It's a very special game because the Manchester derby is one of the most famous games in England and even in Europe and we have a lot of respect for Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola is an outstanding coach and his team played very good football.

But we will take appropriate strategies to deal with them, and we all hope to be able to exert our full strength to win in this important game! "

But as soon as they left the pre-match media conference, Guardiola and Mourinho both changed their faces.

In the dressing room of Manchester United, Mourinho stood in front of a 50-inch LCD TV, pointed to the tactical board on the TV screen, and said loudly: "Manchester City's weakness lies in their defense."

"Believe me, they have a terrible defense and that will give us a lot of chances!"

"As long as we can get the ball up quickly and get the ball into these gaps, trust me, the goals will come! And so will the wins!"

"I'll say it again, never pass the ball indiscriminately!"

"Especially those soft, slow passes that go back when they should be going forward!"

"Don't show me this bad pass!"

"OK?"

"Also, the strictest restrictions must be imposed on Chu. I don't want to see no one around him to mark him?"

"You know him as well as I do, and you must stop him from breaking through with the ball at all costs."

"If we can stop Chu once, maybe we can stop one of their goals!"

"Also, pay attention to Chu's rhythm. I noticed his talent in rhythm control when I was at Chelsea. Don't be controlled by his rhythm. This is my second request to you." Mourinho looked Turning suddenly to Pogba, the last words were clearly addressed to him.

Among the crowd, Pogba, who was chewing gum in his mouth, heard Mourinho's words, his face and eyes were full of disdain, showing his contempt for Chu Zheng.

This football fashion pioneer has brilliant hair color today, purple with red, red with green, green with white, very cool, just like his personality.

While watching Mourinho, who waved and kicked in front of the TV, his face sometimes serious and sometimes funny, Blind, Martial, Fellaini and Rooney in the Manchester United dressing room all watched and listened silently. , I can't see what I'm thinking.

But Ibrahimovic in the front row of the crowd looked excited, his chance of revenge came!

This rebellious Swedish striker, who was said by the media to be rebellious from head to toe, has a big grievance with Guardiola.

The grievances between Ibrahimovic and Guardiola can be traced back to 2009.

At that time, Ibrahimovic transferred to Barcelona with the third highest value in football after Kaka and Zidane. However, Ibrahimovic did not get enough attention in Barcelona and was often put on the bench by Guardiola.

At that time, Barcelona's tactical system advocated short pass penetration and quick pass and cut.

Therefore, the role of the fulcrum center played by Ibrahimovic has been seriously downplayed, and he even has to undertake the task of retreating.

But even so, Ibrahimovic also handed over an excellent data sheet of 22 goals and 15 assists that season.

It's a pity that after one season, Ibrahimovic, who was in full form at the time, sat on the bench for half of the time, which was absolutely unbearable for God Ibrahimovic.

Especially Guardiola's tactical choice at the expense of other players because of his preference for Messi made Ibrahimovic extremely angry.

The conflict between the two also broke out completely over time, and was exposed to the public's attention.

Coincidentally, as soon as Ibrahimovic left Serie A that year, his former club Inter Milan won the Champions League that Ibrahimovic had dreamed of that season.

A year later, Ibrahimovic returned to Serie A.

At that time, there were media reports that Ibrahimovic had put forward a special request during the transfer negotiations with AC Milan and Barcelona executives, otherwise he would not sign the contract.

That is to convey a word to Guardiola for him.

So everyone asked him what he was talking about.

As a result, Ibrahimovic's answer was jaw-dropping. He said: "I couldn't touch him in Catalonia, but in other parts of Europe, I beat him every time I saw him."

But in the Spanish media reports, the word Ibrahimovic used the English phrase 'knock-out'.

This phrase has both the meaning of knocking down the opponent and the elimination of the opponent.

If you interpret it from the sports level, Ibrahimovic means that in the future, the team that encounters Guardiola on the field will be eliminated once.

And if it is translated from the sports level, Ibrahimovic means to beat Guardiola once when he sees Guardiola.

But no matter what kind of interpretation, we can actually see how much Ibrahimovic's resentment towards Guardiola was at that time.

However, although this news has a nose and eyes, there is actually no conclusive evidence to prove that Ibrahimovic really said this.

In the locker room of the visiting team Manchester City, Guardiola also seized the time to mobilize the players before the game.

Compared with Mourinho's gentle demeanor and words, Guardiola seemed impassioned, and his actions and words seemed a little excited.

But I have to admit that Guardiola's words are very provocative and inspiring.

"Oppression! Everyone must be oppressed!"

"Chu, when the offense and defense transition, we need to break through their midfield defense. You can try to break through more in the midfield! Don't be afraid of failure, you have Fernando behind you, I need you to put all your energy into the offense."

Chu Zheng's heart beat a little faster, and he nodded solemnly.

With Guardiola's words, he can make waves on the court.

After the words fell, Guardiola looked at Sterling and said: "Raheem, I need you to constantly attack their defense line, someone will respond from behind, or you can exchange positions, just like our training these days !"

"We keep attacking and the goal will come, start from the wing, pass the ball in the middle and we will score!"

"What you have to do is to bring up the rhythm in the offense. Don't keep playing from the middle. Sometimes passing the ball from one side to the other suddenly may have a better offensive effect."

"Chu, I need you to keep the game at a faster and appropriate pace, can you do it?"

"Can you understand what I mean?" Guardiola looked at Chu Zheng again.

The corner of Chu Zheng's mouth twitched, and he complained in his heart, whether he dared to speak more vaguely.

"I understand!" Chu Zheng nodded solemnly.

He probably understood what Guardiola meant.

It is nothing more than letting him adopt different rhythms in different situations to keep the game at the most suitable rhythm for Manchester City players.

His strengths!
What a big deal!
