A sliding tackle at the beginning, I am a star in Great Britain

Chapter 106 Manchester City Showdown Attacks!Abandoned Manchester United right?

2012. 4, 30

The sky in Manchester is half fiery red and half sea blue.

The game has not yet started, and the fans warm up first.

Spread from the center of Manchester to the outskirts of the city.

From commercially bustling neighborhoods to sparsely populated neighborhoods.

Everywhere you can see fans in red or blue jerseys pinching each other.

Arguing, swearing, and even melee.

The whole city of Manchester seemed like cold water had been poured into a pan of hot oil, making it so noisy that people had nowhere to seek peace.

Police officers were forced to work overtime to patrol the streets of Manchester.

But if you get close to their police car, you can hear it on the radio:
"Balotelli, who came back from suspension, may not be able to play, yes, I think so..."

"The eyes of the world are on the Premier League, but the Premier League only focuses on Manchester United and Manchester City..."

"Maradona has already walked out of the hotel to the Etihad Stadium. He is going to watch his son-in-law play football..."

Football, football, football.

On this day at the end of April.

Manchester City is nothing but football.

When Wang Shen rushed to the Carrington training base in the morning, he found that the fans lined up for several kilometers.

They didn't come forward for autographs like they used to.

Instead, he kept cheering for the Manchester United players, like a scene where the soldiers were sent off in the lane.

the first time.

Wang Shen felt the different significance of the Manchester Derby to the people of Manchester.

After walking into the training ground, he found that the state of the players was also different.

Different from the more relaxed and lively atmosphere in the past, today's atmosphere is obviously a bit depressed.

Veterans like Giggs, Rooney and Scholes are fine.

Young players like Jones, De Gea, and Welbeck are obviously a little uneasy.

"Boy, you can't be nervous."

When Wang Shen walked into the training ground, the first thing he did was slap De Gea on the ass.

This guy is today's starting goalkeeper. If he gets nervous, what's the deal?

"I don't think so, but is it possible?"

De Gea said in Wang Shen's ear with a wry smile.

"As for the attitude of the fans when I entered the training base, I was afraid they would swallow me alive if I made a mistake."

"You have always been very stable. Lindegaard has been pushed to the bench by you. What are you afraid of?"

In order to cheer him up, Wang Shen did not hesitate to speak ill of Lindegard.

"It's different, that's different."

De Gea shook his head and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I will try to play the ball in this game?"

"Try when you have to try. You have to develop a habit. It's just a sure-win city derby. What are you afraid of?"

Wang Shen patted his head, shattering De Gea's carefully groomed hair.

He hates this kind of handsome and concave shape the most, every time he sees it, he has to mess it up.

"anyway."

De Gea straightened his back and tried to avoid Wang Shen's hand through the height difference.

"Why don't you look nervous at all?"

"I am nervous?"

Wang Shen withdrew his hand, wiped the jelly with the opponent's jersey and said, "I'm a substitute, why are you nervous?"

Yes, Wang Shen came off the bench in this game.

This was decided when Sir Alex Ferguson announced his squad yesterday.

Wang Shen didn't quite understand what this meant at first.

But Perrin explained the reason to him separately after the big list was announced.

Sir Alex Ferguson will make him play in the second half.

This is due to fitness and the reason why the second half of the game will be particularly important.

Wang Shen accepted it frankly.

He, Wang Shen, likes to chew on the toughest nails.

There was no special training in the morning, just to let everyone warm up.

During the warm-up, Wang Shen noticed that Nani was in good condition.

When he was training offensively and defensively with himself, the few times he passed people were extremely fancy.

In the end, Wang Shen had to use a sliding shovel, which taught him how to be a man.

The training ended quickly, and there was a two-hour rest period after lunch.

Wang Shen took a nap for himself.

In the afternoon, the team bus departed from the Carrington training base and went straight to the Etihad Stadium.

The Manchester United team song was playing on the bus, but the sound was not loud.

Sir Alex Ferguson did not make any speeches on the bus.

He acted like today was just an ordinary game.

Wang Shen sat beside Ryan Giggs, listening to the music and looking out the window.

All the way from the Carrington training base to the Etihad Stadium, both sides are full of Manchester United fans.

Some of them wore Manchester United jerseys, and some waved the Manchester United flag.

There is also a little beauty with a good temperament, who smears the Manchester United team logo on her youthful cheeks.

"Old Ji, do you think the referee will not allow me to play if I paint the Manchester United logo on my face?"

Wang Shen turned around and asked in boredom.

"It's hard to tell the referee. The head coach probably thinks you are sick."

Old Ji replied with a grin.

From this guy's face, there was really no trace of tension.

Also.

An old man with almost four photos, what else is there to be nervous about?
The bus drove into the vicinity of the Etihad Stadium, and there were more and more fans around.

Manchester City fans could be seen in the distance, and some tried to get closer and shout something to them.

But it was blocked by Manchester United's fan team, and even a small-scale fight occurred.

Finally the bus drove into the underground parking lot smoothly, and the players began to get off in an orderly manner.

The fans in the distance were shouting, and the sound was almost as good as that in the stadium.

Wang Shen waved his hand to the fans, which immediately drew cheers.

This echoing feeling is really refreshing.

Wang Shen walked into the locker room rejuvenated, changed his clothes and went to the court to warm up.

When he came back from warming up, Sir Alex arranged his tactics.

Wang Shen was a substitute, and there was no specific arrangement for this meeting, so he was not named.

After he walked onto the court and sat on the bench for a while, the players from both sides finally walked out of the tunnel.

Sitting next to Pei Lan, Wang Shen looked at the tactical board in his hand.

There is Manchester City's tactical formation on it:
Forward: Aguero
Midfielders: Nasri, Tevez, David Silva
Defensive midfield: Barry, Yaya Toure

Defenders: Clichy, Lescott, Kompany, Zabaleta

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart
It was about the same as the old man expected, except that Milner was replaced by Nasri.

Manchester United's formation for this game is 433:

Forwards: Giggs, Rooney, Nani

Midfielders: Scholes, Carrick, Park Ji-sung
Defenders: Evra, Ferdinand, Smalling, Jones

Goalkeeper: De Gea
In such a crucial game, Wang Shen did not expect Sir Alex to dare to play 433.

However, in this game in memory, Sir Alex seems to have lost the bet.

It was also after this game that Manchester City began to have an advantage.

Then counterattacked at the last moment of the last game and won the league championship this season.

The legendary victory ushered in a new era for Manchester City.

Although Manchester United won the league title next season.

But with the departure of the old man, the ups and downs began...

Anyway, at the time when Wang Shen crossed over, he didn't see much hope for revival.

As soon as the media canonized Ten Hag, it was 7:0.

Although the fiery state was not completely interrupted, Shuanghong's face still hurts after losing like this.

"Di!"

The referee blew the whistle for the game, Wang Shen stopped his wild thinking, and obediently picked up the small notebook.

Manchester City did not launch an attack immediately after the kick-off, but passed the ball back all the way.

In the end the ball went straight to Joe Hart.

Joe Hart has a big foot and the ball comes to Manchester United.

Wang Shen rubbed his face, but didn't understand what Manchester City was trying to do.

But he still recorded Joe Hart's first long pass:
Manchester United on the right side of the backcourt.

Manchester United, who got the ball, tried to counterattack immediately.

But Park Ji-sung's long pass lost his sight and was directly blocked by the opposite left back.

Nani, Rooney, and Giggs actively rushed up, forcing the opposite defense to jump around for a while.

In the end, the football was forced to the right back field of Manchester City, and was touched by their right back Sabaletta.

"Di!"

The referee blows his whistle and Manchester United wins a corner.

Scholes stepped forward to take a corner kick, and the football landed precisely near the penalty spot.

Joe Hart didn't dare strike but United didn't earn a header either.

The ball bounced in the penalty area for a while, and finally bounced out.

Carrick, who was standing on the line of the penalty area, got the ball without moving, made a slight adjustment and shot directly.

"Oh!"

The football jumped out and flew towards the Manchester City goal.

Kompany is the closest to this shot, but his body is a distance away from the ball.

Seeing that the guy couldn't reach the ball, he gritted his teeth and bumped it with his shoulder.

"Oh!"

The football bounced off his shoulder.

Joe Hart controlled to the second drop and took the ball.

The Manchester United players all look to the referee, who then blows a goal kick.

The Manchester United players quit on the spot and rushed to the referee to put pressure on them.

left shoulder.

Actively bumped into it.

Isn't this proper handball?

But in the face of the noisy Manchester United players, the referee just signaled them to get out of the way with a cold face.

And insisted that this is an unconscious handball, he will not change the penalty.

Wang Shen was watching the excitement when he suddenly found that the seat on the right was empty.

Turn around.

Both Perrin and Sir Ferguson rushed out, arguing with the fourth official.

Wang Shen instantly remembered the scene of Mourinho and his assistant coach arguing with the fourth official.

Sure enough, the behaviors of good coaches are all interlinked!

After a while, the two coaches returned, and the dispute on the court disappeared.

The referee asserted his authority.

Manchester City got what they wanted.

Manchester United completed the pressure on the referee team.

Everyone takes what they need, and the game continues.

Manchester United is still actively pressing the frontcourt, while Manchester City is playing a stable defensive counterattack.

In this way, the time came to the 5th minute, and Manchester City completed a long pass with good quality by Yaya Toure.

The football flew out from Manchester City's half, crossed half the pitch and landed at Nasri's feet on the left.

Nasri dribbled past Jones, who rushed up rashly, and crossed to the front of the penalty area.

David Silva on the right stepped in to lead the ball and shot into the far corner.

"Oh!"

A high-quality long-range shot went straight to Manchester United's goal.

But Smalling was standing on the line of the shot, and he pushed the ball directly with the arch of his foot.

Coincidentally.

David Silva, who moved two meters diagonally forward after the shot, just blocked Smalling's path of the ball.

"Snapped!"

A pad on the outside of the left foot stopped the ball, and then shot again.

"Oh!"

This time he hit the close corner, but Ferdinand was very close to him.

"Oh!"

The left leg stepped out quickly, and directly used the calf to block the ball out of the baseline.

A threatening attack was resolved by Manchester United's two central defenders.

Wang Shen took a special look at Jones who had just ventured in.

The lad looked fine with no signs of breakdown.

But that shot just now was really dangerous, what is this guy doing so recklessly?
Thinking about it, Wang Shen placed a symbol of focus on Xiaobenben's right back position.

Manchester City got a corner kick, but failed to play any threat.

In the next game, the two sides went back and forth, but they didn't create any chances.

9 minutes.

Rooney received the pass from Scholes and made it back. Nani cut to the front of the penalty area in the middle and took a long shot.

"Oh!"

The air raid siren is sounded at the Etihad Stadium!

15 minutes.

Nasri once again used his personal technique to break through, but this time it was Park Ji-sung who was broken by him.

After the breakthrough, Nasri kicked straight to Setvez.

Tevez crossed the goal near the bottom line, and Jones was not afraid of his own goal and slipped to the ground to make a clearance.

Good guy, as reckless as ever!
19 minutes.

Kompany's midfielder kicked Rooney's knee and was booked by the referee.

The anger between the two sides gradually rose, and the confrontation became more and more intense.

24 minutes.

David Silva passes back to Lescott who goes forward.

Lescott headed the ball to Aguero, and Aguero shot from the right side of the penalty area.

Since the ball, Manchester City once formed a situation of encirclement.

The football has been in the United half, with City creating chances on goal several times.

If Ferdinand hadn't been old and determined, and had resolved the threatening ball several times, Manchester City might have scored.

Being suppressed like this has a lot to do with the fierceness of the Manchester City players' confrontation.

Especially the beast Carlos Tevez, who moved from Manchester United to Manchester City for 09 million pounds in 2500, played the real culprit.

Once against Carrick and once against Jones.

No matter how you look at the tackle, it looks like it is going for someone.

But the England referee Marina from Birmingham ignored it as if he was blind.

The old lord and Perrin didn't know how many times they went to the fourth official, but the answer they got was still:
Please respect the referee's decision.

"I respect him for stepping on a horse~~~"

Wang Shen heard Pei Lan swear, but the old man just covered his face with a livid face and didn't say anything.

The encirclement lasted 10 minutes.

Until the 35th minute of the game.

De Gea hugged Zabaleta's kick and shot it was over.

"Alex, we have big problems."

When the football was passed to the frontcourt, Wang Shen heard Perrin say this to Ferguson.

"What question?" asked Sir Alex Ferguson.

Perrin immediately picked up the tactical board in his hand, pointing to the data he had calculated.

"Manchester City's three lanes are opened, especially the left lane, which eats up our right lane."

Wang Shen went over to take a look, and found that Peilan actually summed up the number of times Manchester City launched attacks from the left, center and right.

4 times on the left, 2 times on the center, and 3 times on the right.

It can't be said that it is obviously left, but it is true that the left side is the most.

"Although we have a lot of offensive lines on the right, but there are no shots from the right..."

Perrin said and pointed to the front of the tactical board, where Manchester United's shots were marked.

3 shots.

2 times in the middle, 1 time in the left, and no time in the right.

Sir Alex Ferguson frowned and looked at the court again.

At this time, the ball is at the feet of Nani, and Nabuchuan is showing the fans why he has this nickname.

But his breakthrough was not successful, and Chrissy cooperated with Barry to complete the steal on him.

"Wang Shen, warm up."

After Sir Ferguson gave an order, Wang Shen immediately jumped up from his chair.

The game lasted less than 40 minutes, and it seemed that he was about to play.

This is what Wang Shen did not expect.

But he didn't feel nervous, only excited in his heart.

At the same time, I was thinking about how to revitalize the right side in the middle.

　It's on the shelves, and I don't know what to ask for...
