Legend of Green: Rise of the Red Rebels

There is a very interesting thing about English football, that is, many sworn rival teams have red and blue jerseys, such as the Manchester derby and the Merseyside derby, which are the collision of red jerseys and blue jerseys, and also deal with the phrase "since ancient red and blue out of CP".

This is also due to the fact that in English teams, red and blue shirts are predominant, but there are also many teams with white as the main tone, such as Arsenal and Tottenham's north London derby is red and white confrontation.

Although FC United has not yet entered the top league, but in the past two years has not rarely played with the big teams, not to mention AC Milan who was invited to participate in the Friendship Cup, FC United has played Manchester United and Liverpool in the League Cup and FA Cup, although the results have lost, but FC United did not lose on the field, which brought a lot of trouble to the Red Devils and the Reds.

Geographically, as the closest professional club to themselves, FC United played Manchester City for the first time since its inception, and like Manchester United, Red Rebel fans also regard Manchester City as their derby opponents, but as a sworn rival in the same city, the paper strength of these two teams can be called the gap between Mount Taihang and Mount Everest.

Manchester City entered the local tycoon mode after being acquired by the Abu Dhabi consortium in 2008, and a large amount of money was invested on the players, although many people look down on such practices, but it is undeniable that after entering the era of golden dollar football, Manchester City is one of the most successful clubs, except that they have never won the Champions League, which is already comparable to Real Saren.

This season, their recruitment efforts are still not small, buying Chilean goalkeeper Bravo from Barca, but unfortunately leaving La Liga Bravo has become a "shot on target". Stones and Sane, who were bought for a lot of money, did not live up to Guardiola, although they did not reach the heights one expected, but they also proved themselves to be excellent players.

Manchester City's new signing also includes Gundogan, whom Guardiola admires, plus Sergio Aguero, Kompanyi, Kolarov and Yaya, who are already in the team. Toure, David. Silva, Kevin De Bruyne and Raheem Sterling, Aguero alone is worth almost as much as the entire FC United team.

And FC United's side, the biggest star is nothing more than Andrew, who made a lot of noise in the summer transfer market. Robertson, in the eyes of Liverpool, is still only a substitute candidate, and after Michu's departure, fans can't even pick a star in FC United.

But this is also what Lu Wei wants to see, football is an 11-man sport, a team sport, not a game where you can solve the battle with the ball alone, although Lu Wei later praised this kind of individual player who decides the game, but now FC United is not the time to have stars.

Although FC United drew their home stadium, the stadium ban has not yet been lifted, and Burleigh still has the FA Cup Winners' Cup match on League Cup matchday, so this match is arranged by the FA to be played at Oldham's home stadium.

Guardiola praised his neighbour in an interview, "It's a very young team with potential, their manager and players are young, I see a lot of potential in them, Robertson, Tavernir, Maddison and a couple of other players are also very good, they are not an easy opponent to beat, tomorrow we will play with twelve points." "

Pep Guardiola is a very good manager, the great thing of a six-time champion is not something that anyone can do, I am far inferior to him in terms of honor and qualifications, but this is a derby, we are not Manchester United, we are the Reds in Newton Heath, none of us are afraid, so are you ready to face this derby? Mr. Guardiola. Lu

Wei saluted first and then soldiers during the interview, which fully allowed the fans to see the words from the East.

This is the first time that Lu Wei and FC United face a real derby, although there have been previous meetings with Manchester United, but fans on both sides do not think that this is a derby, it can only be regarded as a friendly exchange to meet friends, and the historical feud between Leeds and Manchester is not entangled with FC United, as for Burleigh, it is not a derby.

Unlike the previous preparation training, Lu Wei felt some different atmosphere at the Newton Heath base.

In Manchester's football market, although Manchester United's predecessor was a railway worker, but with the changes of the times, Manchester United's fan base gradually represented Manchester's middle class, and after Glazer took over, the box even became a place where high society talked about business.

It is ironic that Manchester City may have been acquired by wealthy Middle Eastern tycoons, but their fan base represents the working class.

FC United fans basically can't afford to buy the high tickets at Old Trafford and come to the Red Stadium, they love and hate Manchester United, love this team, hate the team management.

But hatred of Manchester United does not affect their dislike of Manchester City, and although the two managers are kind, they are in a scolding battle online.

Manchester City fans say FC United has no history, just a bunch of street skewers who don't understand the ball.

FC United fans say that Manchester City is a game pawn in the hands of nouveau riche who does not understand the ball.

All kinds of voices are all over the smoky network, and the FA is also worried about whether FC United fans who have "previous convictions" will crowd the stadium again, but it is certain that the day's game will definitely not end peacefully.

Tickets for the tournament were sold out the day the fixture was arranged, and Aldham Athletic is very grateful to both teams for bringing them some extra income, although the ticket money does not belong to them, but the consumption of royalties, maintenance fees and peripheral products can also put a smile on the face of Aldham Athletic bosses.

Manchester City is now the top of the Premier League, FC United is the top of the Championship, although they are all at the top of the list, but the meaning of this top is not the same, Manchester City in order to retain strength for the Premier League, most of the main players did not come, Guardiola although he said that FC United is difficult to play, but he actually did not do this.

Goalkeeper Caballero, right back is youth team Pablo Maffei, central defender combination is the main duo of Kompany and Otamendi, left back is former France international Clichy, double back Fernando and youth team Alex. Garcia, Nolito, Sane, Keylor Navas and "Dauphin" Iheanacho formed an attacking group, and a group of main players were sitting on the bench, and De Bruyne was not included in the squad with a minor injury.

This line-up is clearly saying that we can eliminate you just by coming off the bench.

Lu Wei stood in the dressing room and smiled disdainfully.
