Chapter 59 The Manchester Derby officially begins

September 20, 2009, Manchester, Old Trafford Stadium, light rain.

The weather today is pretty good, lukewarm, but the only regret is that it rained lightly in the sky. However, this still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of Manchester fans. As early as two hours before the game, the Old Trafford Stadium was filled with fans wearing red and blue jerseys. At this time, the war on the Old Trafford battlefield had already begun.[]

Manchester United and Manchester City fans were slamming each other in the stands at Old Trafford Stadium. They were cheering for their teams frantically and suppressing their teams. The smoke of war filled the entire Old Trafford at this time. In the stands where fans from both sides gathered, they all hung up huge photos of their team's active stars, including Gong Zheng, Rooney, Tevez, Richards and others.

The flags of both sides were flying in the sky of Manchester, and the songs of both sides were soaring over Old Trafford. For glory, they were roaring wildly, and for victory, he was fighting hard.

Players from both sides appeared in the stadium for warm-up more than an hour before the game started, which made Old Trafford Stadium popular all of a sudden. Fans from both sides cheered their players' names and cheered for their team.

When he walked into the stadium, Gong Zheng was also attracted by the atmosphere on the scene. In the atmosphere of the derby, Gong Zheng took a deep breath and warmed up the scene with a smile. During the warm-up, the fans of both sides shouted and cheered, cheering for the players on both sides.

After nearly forty minutes of warming up in the stadium, the players from both sides left the stadium and walked back to the locker room, making the final preparations before the game in the locker room. Gong Zheng and Manchester United players sat in the locker room and stared at the manager Alex Ferguson in front of the locker room.

Alex Ferguson stood in front of the tactical board and looked at his disciples and said, "I think everyone knows what the derby means? We cannot lose in today's game, we must not lose. Manchester United is the only representative of Manchester, and red is the color of Manchester."

"Fight and fight!" Manchester United players raised their fists and roared fiercely, like hungry tigers.

"I don't want to emphasize too much in terms of tactics. The only thing I want is the result. Victory. What I want is victory. Manchester can only have one team, that is Manchester United!" Alex Ferguson immediately roared.

"Victory Victory!" Manchester United players immediately stood up and roared hard. Manchester United players had been mobilized by Alex Ferguson.

"Okay, for the sake of victory, set off!" Alex Ferguson waved his hand and signaled the Manchester United players to set off quickly.

In Manchester City's locker room, Manchester City manager Robert Mancini faced his players.

"Now I no longer emphasize our tactics today, because I have emphasized enough, well, very much. Almost every day during training, I emphasize that we have been very prepared. Now I want to ask you, do you have the confidence to defeat the guys on the other side?" said Robert Mancini, the manager of Manchester United's new season.

"I have confidence, boss, don't worry, we will beat them up so hard that they don't even know their mother." Manchester City players shouted, and it can be seen that they are full of confidence. Among them, Tevez is the one who shouts the most. This guy has a deep resentment towards Manchester United!

"Haha, okay, my fighters, your performance has shown me the confidence to defeat my opponents. Do it well and don't let me down to kill them, because Manchester can only have one team, and that's us!" Robert Mancini continued to pour oil on.

"Yes, we are the only team in Manchester. We will beat Manchester United and drive them out of Manchester!" Manchester City players shouted wildly.

"Okay! Just have this ambition!" Robert Mancini said with a serious face, "However, we must be careful of our opponents. I have to say that the opponent is still somewhat powerful. Last season, our team was double-killed by our opponents. Now that I have taken over the team, I will definitely not allow such things."

"Don't worry, manager, I must have played Manchester United and I'm all over the ground!" It was a shame for Manchester City people to be killed by Manchester United last season. They have been looking for opportunities to wash away the shame. Now there is finally a chance. Of course, they will not let things happen last season again. They must beat Manchester United to wash away their previous shame.

"This is my first derby. All I want is victory, and I don't accept anything else. If I can't win this game, then after I go back, you will know what method I will punish you!" Robert Mancini gave the Manchester City players an ultimatum.

"Victory Victory!" Manchester City players roared wildly in the locker room.

Amid the roar, Manchester City players walked into the player channel, and at this time, the Manchester United players were gathering together in the player channel to cheer up. Manchester United's performance fell into the eyes of Manchester City players, and Manchester City players immediately found an opportunity to mock Manchester United. Manchester City players leaned together in groups of three to satirize Manchester United's actions just now.

Manchester United players are birds without birds. These guys have serious faces, as if a big fight is imminent. At the same time, they don’t see Manchester City players, as if they are just like they are like Manchester City people. At the same time, Manchester City guys don’t pay attention to Manchester United guys, and they all have a tense face, extremely serious.

The atmosphere in the player channel is very strange, and the players on both sides can feel it. The members of the referee group who are also standing in the player channel have long felt the atmosphere filled with smoke. Their faces were serious and there were no other expressions. From this we can see that the referee group had already predicted what kind of game they were going to face.

The referee who enforced the game today was the famous referee of England, Weber, who is one of the top referees in the Premier League. He will take the penalty for this game. Both Manchester United and Manchester City feel good. However, Weber still feels the pressure. After all, this is a derby and a Manchester derby.

"Hello, dear fans, friends, Sky Sports. Today we are bringing you a game in the sixth round of the 2009-2010 English Football Super League. Manchester United played against Manchester City at home, which is also the first leg of the season's Manchester derby!" The commentator of Sky Sports began to report.

The fans in front of the TV are now full of enthusiasm, and they have been waiting for this game for a long time. Because there are many highlights in this game, this game is very attractive. The players on both sides have not yet appeared. The fans in front of the TV and in the Old Trafford are almost shouting out their throats.

"Okay, the most exciting time has arrived. The players from both sides have already appeared!" The commentator of Sky Sports immediately roared, "Now I will use this time to introduce the list of both sides today."

It was at this time that the players from both sides followed the referee Weber and slowly walked out of the player's passage. Seeing the players appear, a tsunami-like cheer immediately broke out in the Old Trafford Stadium. This was the first ** of this game.

"Okay, now I'll introduce the starting rosters of both sides in this game." The commentator of Sky Sports immediately began to introduce the starting rosters of both sides. "Mar United's team is still lined up in a four-four-one formation today, and the goalkeeper's position is still Ben Foster."

"The four defenders are Evra, Rio Ferdinand, Nemania Vidic and Rafael," the commentator of Sky Sports continued, "Yes, you heard it right. Manchester United's central defenders are Rio Ferdinand and Nemania Vidic, not Jonathan Evans and Nemania Vidic. Because at this time, Rio Ferdinand has returned from injury, and Jonathan Evans started his surgery. I really don't know if this is good news or bad news?"

"The four people in the midfield are Giggs, Carrick, Scholes and Nani. Valencia's injuries have not yet recovered. He has not appeared in Manchester United's 18-man roster." The commentator of Sky Sports continued, "In front of the four midfield is Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, and the front of the team is the Premier League summer bidding king Gong Zheng introduced by Manchester United this summer!"

"Okay, let me introduce to you the starting list of Manchester City in this game. Manchester City is lined up with a 442 lineup." Sky Sports football commentator Paul Gascoin began to introduce, "The goalkeeper is the young goalkeeper of the England national team, Joe Hart, who is a very powerful and potential English local goalkeeper who has emerged in recent years. This guy is definitely England's future No. 1 national goal."

"The four defenders are Bridge, Lescott, Toure and Richards. Today, Manchester City captain Kompany was unable to play due to injury, which is a huge loss for Manchester City. Manchester City's defensive pressure will definitely be greater today."

"The four midfielders are Robinho, Ireland, De Jong and Wright Phillips," Sky Sports' football commentator Paul Gascoin immediately said, "On the forward line, Manchester City's double striker today is a combination of Tevez and Adebayo."

"Okay, the players from both sides have already chosen the side, and the game is about to begin. Today, Manchester United is wearing their traditional red jerseys and white shorts. They will attack from the left side of the TV screen to the right, while Manchester City is wearing their sky blue jerseys and white shorts. They will attack from the right side of the TV to the left. The good game begins!" The commentator of Sky Sports immediately roared.

"Flute..." Under the whistle of the referee, the Manchester derby of the first leg of the 2009-2010 English Football Super League officially kicked off. The hottest applause suddenly burst out on the scene, and the Old Trafford Stadium was ignited instantly.

The first kick-off was when the visiting Manchester City team kicked off. After Ireland caught the ball, he kicked it straight into the front court with a big foot. The ball flew quickly through the midfield and was obtained by Tevez who was inserted at high speed. He just got the ball and lay down the ball with a long shot outside the penalty area, which made a thumping shot.

"A volley..." Sky Sports' commentator roared wildly on the top commentator's seat at Old Trafford Stadium.

The ball hit the goal like a lightning bolt. The game just started. Ben Foster was not ready. He was halfway through his body and quickly crossed his body, then crossed the post and flew out of the bottom line.
