future king

Li Yu, the key player in the last Manchester derby, has been arranged by Ferguson to rest after returning from the Asian Cup. From this, it can be seen that Ferguson attaches great importance to this game.

In any case, for the first time, two teams from Manchester started a derby battle with the first and second places in the league.

The local tyrant's check has allowed Manchester City, a mid-level Premier League team, to form a sprint for the championship in a short period of time.

No matter how the outside world describes this rising team, the strength of Manchester City is beyond doubt!

If it is lacking, it may be the background of the players!

Who can win the game between the two teams will definitely affect the subsequent championship. Who will have the last laugh?

Manchester United has achieved 5 wins and 4 tie in the last 1 league games between the two sides, and has won all of the last 3 home games.

双方英超历史交锋27场，曼联16胜6平5负占据上风，其中主场8胜4平1负。

这是157场曼彻斯特德比战，此前曼联64胜50平42负占据上风。这是弗格森的第35场曼彻斯特德比战，此前取得18胜10平6负，曼尼奇是第12位同弗格森对战的曼城主帅。

Manchester United has the strongest attacking lineup, Li Yu, Nani, Rooney!

In the game, the brand-new trident played against Manchester City's Carlos Tevez and Silva's attack combination.

For Sir Alex Ferguson, in the Derby against Manchester City, he can accept a win or a draw, but he absolutely cannot accept a two-game losing streak.Because, once they lose to Manchester City, the lead between Manchester United and the opponent will be reduced to 2 points. Manchester United's biggest concern this season.

Compared with the starting team that lost 1-2 to the Wolves in the last round, Ferguson changed 442 in this campaign. O'Shea, Smalling, Anderson and Scholes replaced Rafal, Evans and Carrick. .

In fact, Sir Alex Ferguson's idea is not difficult to guess, add a strong offensive point Li Yu, replace a midfielder Scholes, use the home offensive, can avoid the opponent's strongest midfield position with Manchester City Start hand-to-hand combat; Ferdinand and Evans are injured, and Smalling's starting lineup has long been determined; replace Carrick, who has declined in the last two seasons, with the young and strong new force Anderson; replace the impulsive O'Shea with both offense and defense Rafal, these are targeted deployments.

Before this campaign, in the past 5 league games against Manchester United, Manchester City failed to score in 4 games.

Manchester City have only won once in the past 26 league visits to Old Trafford.Manchester City relies too much on Tevez. In the 1 Premier League games in which Tevez scored goals after joining Manchester City, Manchester City has achieved an unbeaten record of 25 wins and 23 draws.Carlos Tevez has scored 2 goals in the past 6 games against Manchester United.But in this campaign, the Argentine beast was closely guarded. Ferguson used three central midfielders to cut off the connection between Yaya Toure, Silva and Carlos Tevez.

Throughout the audience, Manchester United, who has great experience in focus games, played the last 15 minutes of the first and second half, and these 30 minutes of effort ensured the three-pointer.

In the first half hour of the game, Manchester United had only one shot, and the ball possession rate was only 1%. On the scene, Manchester City had the upper hand; at the end of the first half, Manchester United shot 46.8 times, and the ball possession rate soared to 6%.

In other words, in the last 15 minutes of the first half, Manchester United completely took the initiative on the field, and had 5 shots, and the ball possession rate has also improved significantly.Since April 2010, Manchester United have not conceded a goal in the first half of the league at home, and this campaign is certainly no exception.In the first 4 minutes of the second half, Manchester United once lost ground on the field. After being equalized by Manchester City, Manchester United made great efforts again in the last 30 minutes. In the end, Nani assisted Li Yu to score the super world wave and ended the game.

The deeper significance of the victory in the derby for Manchester United is that Arsenal is actually the only team left to win the championship.

After defeating Old Trafford, Manchester City fell behind Manchester United by 1 points with one extra round.

With 12 rounds left in the league, this point difference has almost declared that they have withdrawn from the championship group.

It has been 43 years since Manchester City won the English top flight, but it seems that the dream of winning the title is still difficult to achieve this season.

Before the game, the reality of being 10 points behind Manchester United has already caused Chelsea coach Ancelotti to raise a white flag. "It's hard for us now to think about trying to win the title and obviously it's going to be difficult to catch up to that point. We've got to be realistic."

This season, Manchester United has used as many as 29 players in the league, which is more than Arsenal and Liverpool's 25; Manchester City's 24 and Chelsea's 22, which once again shows that Manchester United can use a lot of people, personnel reserves Relatively abundant.In the long season, ample personnel reserves will be able to avoid the fearless loss of combat effectiveness to the greatest extent.

2-1战胜曼城后，曼联本赛季联赛主场战绩为13胜1平，胜率高达93%，在可能拿到的42个积分中拿到了恐怖的40分。而现在联赛主场战绩排名第2的是阿森纳，9胜1平3负积28分，比曼联少了足足有12分。

Manchester United has 12 rounds left in the league this season, 5 home and 7 away. They played against Bolton, Fulham, Everton, Chelsea and Blackpool at home and Wigan, Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham and Newcastle away. , Arsenal, Blackburn.

Among them, Blackburn, Fulham, Everton, Blackpool, Wigan and West Ham are the six teams in the lower half of the league.Home and away games against Chelsea, away games against Arsenal and Liverpool, if Manchester United wants to win the championship, they must climb these four mountains. The situation of the four major battles will determine whether Manchester United can successfully win the championship this season.

Arsenal also has the last 12 rounds left in the league this season, 6 home and 6 away, respectively at home against Stoke City, Sunderland, Blackburn, Liverpool, Manchester United and Villa; away against Tottenham and West Brom , Blackpool, Bolton, Stoke City, Fulham.Among them, West Brom, Blackburn, Blackpool, Villa, and Fulham are the teams in the lower half of the standings, while away games to Tottenham, home games to Manchester United and Liverpool are the three focus battles.

Although Arsenal's schedule seems to be slightly better than Manchester United's, and there is one more home game, but since Chelsea have set their season goals on the top four, it is not much easier for Arsenal to beat North London rivals Tottenham than Manchester United to play Chelsea.

What's more, Manchester United still holds a 4-point lead and a 3-point lead in goal difference.

本赛季，曼联在主场以3-2击败了利物浦、1-0击败了阿森纳、2-1击败了曼城、2-0击败了热刺，客场0-0分别战平热刺和曼城，6场强强对话4胜2平保持不败。4月30日阿森纳主场战曼联一役，将有可能是夺冠的终极战役；而一周后，曼联将会在主场迎来切尔西的挑战，这两场战役的赛果，可能将直接关乎着曼联能否创纪录的第19次举起英格兰顶级联赛的冠军。

The 75322 spectators at Old Trafford witnessed the magical moment. Manchester United No. 9 Li Yu, a name that was once forgotten by Manchester United fans in January this year, grabbed the headlines of almost all British sports media in the most exciting way .

When describing Li Yu's winning goal in the Manchester Derby, the "Sun" used "wonder", "Sky Sports" lamented "stunning", and the British News Agency called it "sensational" , all the beautiful words were overwhelming for a while.

Yes, this goal was exciting enough to compete for the best of the year. In the 77th minute, Nani made a high pass. Li Yu soared into the air with his back to the goal.This season, Rooney also hit a barb against Liverpool, but that was after adjusting the ball. It is much more difficult for Li Yu to hook a cross directly into the goal like Li Yu.

"I'm not satisfied with my overall performance today, but an opportunity came up and I seized it..." Li Yu described his actual situation in the game after the game.

In the 90 minutes, Manchester United's No. 9 has been in good condition. His active running has consumed a lot of opponents. When cooperating with his teammates before scoring, he has even retreated to the midfield, but now all this is gone. It is worth mentioning that Li Yu used that magical second to write himself into the history of the Manchester derby.

Li Yu, after scoring a goal, celebrated with domineering gestures. He opened his arms, raised his head and closed his eyes, listening to the worship at Old Trafford. Nani ran over to hug him, and Ferguson and the players on the coach’s bench were boiling. One piece, Ferdinand sighed on his personal Weibo: "Li Yu scored this goal! This is the best way to win the derby!"

Both coaches praised the goal."When an extraordinary player like Li Yu scores a goal like this, you can only applaud," Mancini said.

Ferguson said: "That ball is absolutely amazing, unbelievable. Nani's ball is very beautiful, but everyone has forgotten it. Normal people will not talk about Nani's ball anymore. Everyone will talk about Li Yu's. Goal. It reminds me of a goal Dennis Lauzen almost scored, an absolutely incredible goal."

At home, they beat their city rivals and rivals for the title, Manchester City. Today's Manchester derby must be a memorable game for Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson.

In an interview with "Sky Sports" after the game, Ferguson praised the overall performance of the team, and at the same time did not forget to praise Li Yu's goal as "amazing".

"Nani's goal was amazing, but no one expected Li Yu to have such a goal. After the game, everyone will talk about our winning goal - it is unbelievable!" Ferguson after the game He immediately praised his disciple.

When asked if he had ever seen Li Yu score a more beautiful goal, Ferguson firmly replied: "No. Li Yu's shots are all beautiful, full of power and beauty, this time the goal is even more ferocity ! We've seen a lot of great goals on this pitch, but when it comes to winning goals... you've never seen anything like this."

"I have to say, I need Rooney and Nani to show more performances away, they haven't had the energy at home. It's embarrassing, but with the quality of these two, they should take over the game. When they did, United were a whole other team," Ferguson said.

When Ferguson talked about his rivals in the same city, he did not make matters worse. He hinted that Manchester City will definitely enter the Champions League next season: "Manchester City is still in the top four. They have a strong and thick lineup. They will not fall behind. They can win more games than More than you can imagine."

When asked after the game whether today's barb was the best goal of his career, Li Yu immediately told Sky Sports One: "I think it is. I saw the ball passed into the penalty area, so I Thought why not try? Thank goodness the ball ended up in the corner. It's rare and you don't have a lot of time to think (how to deal with it)."

When asked when was the last time he scored with a barb, Li Yu said: "I don't think it's the first time to score with a barb. It has happened before, but it's not as exciting and critical as this time. Goals are important for our league, especially after we dropped three points last week."

He added: "It's also an important game for the city. Manchester City were very close to us this year and I expected it to be a very close game. We just created better chances and we deserved more. Deserving of this win. Three points, we are at the top of the league and everyone is happy."

In the end, Li Yu did not forget to evaluate his performance modestly: "I am not very satisfied with my overall performance today, but I got a good chance, and luckily I kicked the ball in."

Of course, there is another person worth talking about, and this person is Nani!

This season, the fully enlightened Portuguese Flying Wings have proved themselves in countless focus battles.In the league 3-2 victory over Liverpool, Nani sent an assist; in the league 1-0 victory over Arsenal, Nani's pass helped Park Ji-sung score the winning goal, and he also made a penalty in that game; League 2 -0 victory over Tottenham, Nani one pass and one shot; this campaign beat Manchester City 2-1 in the league, Nani once again showed his prowess, and his one shot and one pass helped Manchester United firmly sit in the leading position.

Only 12 seconds into the game, Nani alertly kicked the ball on Sabaletta's leg from the baseline to create a corner kick.

In the 30th second, Nani made a pass with his right foot from the left side of the penalty area, and Hart hit the ball to get it; in the 11th minute, Nani dribbled the ball in from the right, and after passing Kolarov, he shot with his left foot very high. ; In the 26th minute, Nani passed Zabaleta easily on the right, and then made a right-footed pass and slipped out of the goal; in the 32nd minute, Nani took control of the ball, and Zabaleta brought it down behind him.

In the 36th minute, Nani changed position to the left, and Hart got the long shot after cutting inside; in the 41st minute, Van der Sar passed the ball with a big foot, Lescott rubbed the ball in the fight with Rooney At the feet of Giggs, the Welsh legend did not stop the ball and chose to cross directly. Nani threw off Sabaletta's marking and succeeded in a single-handed shot from the far corner.After the goal, Nani was so excited that he celebrated with a signature backflip on the spot.The TV camera locked on Zabaleta's face for a long time, and the poor Argentine international was humiliated by Nani.

In the second half, Nani's momentum weakened slightly. In the 55th minute, Nani forced a breakthrough from the right, and Lescott accurately blocked Nani behind him; After David Silva helped Manchester City tie the score at 58-1, Nani made a sudden effort.

In the 74th minute, Nani passed two people in a row, and finally passed Kompany easily at the front of the penalty area, and shot high with his left foot; in the 78th minute, Nani made a precise pass from the right, and Li Yu was extremely difficult to place on the penalty spot The big flying body hangs the golden hook upside down and hits the ball into the dead corner. Manchester United achieved the lore.

According to the authoritative statistics of opta, Nani made 6 shots, 2 shots on target, and scored 1 goal; 23 accurate passes in the frontcourt, the success rate of frontcourt passes was 88.5%, and 10 accurate passes in the frontcourt Among the above-mentioned Manchester United players, Nani has the highest pass success rate; sent the audience tied for the most 2 threatening balls, 2 clean tackles; won 3 free kicks.

After the game, "Sky Sports" gave Nani the highest score of 7 points for Manchester United, saying that it was "a mixed performance, but scored a goal and assisted a goal." Before the game, Nani said, "Tevez used to Was our teammate, now our opponent. How do we stop him?

We'll make sure he's never going to be comfortable on the court.This derby means a lot to us and we don't want to make mistakes. "In the 90 minutes of the game, Tevez was really controlled by Manchester United players as Nani said. And his limelight on the field completely overshadowed Tevez.

At the end of last month, the "Sun" listed the six players with the best performance so far this season, suggesting that this year's Premier League best may be born from them.

Only one of these six people is from Manchester United, but it is not Nani but Li Yu.If Manchester United finally wins the championship, and the final 6-man shortlist announced by the England Professional Players Association really does not have Nani, it will be an intolerable thing.

In this period last year, it was rumored that Manchester United was going to exchange Nani + 900 million pounds for Di Maria, the flying wing of Benfica, but was rejected by the other party.If Benfica agreed to Manchester United's exchange request last year, the Red Devils would definitely regret it now.The latest valuation of the 24-year-old Nani on the German "Transfer Market" website is 2464 million pounds, but let alone 2500 million pounds, even if the other party offers 4000 million pounds, I believe Sir Alex Ferguson will refuse without blinking. .Because, looking at the whole of Europe, how many players can play Nani's statistics this season?

However, many professionals have also pointed out an important fact. This season, Li Yu has been taken care of by various teams on the front line, which has greatly reduced the defensive intensity that Nani has to face. Li Yu's super performance It is an important reason for Nani's outbreak!
