Chapter 55: The Manchester Derby Strikes Again
Updated: 2012-11-03
Indeed, just one Andy Carroll is 35 million, which is really too high and outrageous. Andy Carroll has not had any particularly commendable performance since his debut. Just such a striker's net worth is as high as 35 million pounds, which is unimaginable for other Premier League coaches.
Carroll is a typical British center: tall and strong, with a strong ability to control air. His height of 1.91 meters makes him extremely advantageous in fighting for air balls. Moreover, he is strong and can not only head the ball but also use his body and heading to create opportunities for his teammates. At the same time, Carroll is not a tall and bulky player. His foot skills are very practical, and he does not suffer any loss in handling the foot balls. Of course, he still has a certain room for improvement in this regard. In addition, Carroll is also threatening outside the penalty area, and his left foot is also one of his signatures.
Chelsea coach Ancelotti believes that Carol has a chance to become the same striker as Drogba, but he still has some things to improve: "But now they are different types of players, Drogba is stronger and can break Carol in different ways, but in other aspects, he must make progress.
There are many people who praise Andy Carroll, but they praise Andy Carroll's future. The value is indeed too high now.
As Andy Carroll's transfer dust settled, the winter transfer window closed. The next day, February entered, and after February, Manchester United faced Aston Villa at home. In this game, Manchester United won extremely hard, and the game was resolved until the last moment of the game.
Gong Zheng scored one goal in this game. This is Gong Zheng's 34th goal this season. My God, this guy only scored 35 goals the whole season last season. This guy has scored 34 goals this season. How many goals this guy is planning to score this season?
In this game, Manchester United defeated Aston Villa 2-1 and continued to stay at the top of the league. Four days later, Manchester United ushered in the 26th round, with Manchester United fighting against Wolves away. However, this game was not as easy as everyone thought. In the end, Manchester United lost to Wolves 1-2 away, and the goal was still Gong Zheng, who scored his 35th goal this season.
Gong Zheng tied his goals last season and tied the record for the most goals in the Premier League in a single season. Now everyone knows that Gong Zheng will break this record, but everyone doesn't know how many goals the new record set by this guy is. Now everyone is full of expectations for this.
Although Manchester United lost this game, Manchester United still ranks first in the league standings, with 15 wins, nine draws and two losses in 26 rounds, with 54 points. Arsenal ranked second in the league. They ranked second in 16 wins, five draws and five losses in 26 rounds, with 53 points in 26 rounds, and Manchester United's city rival Manchester City. They played 14 wins, seven draws and five losses in one round, and 49 points in 26 rounds, with 14 wins, seven draws and five losses in one round, and 47 points in 26 rounds, and Tottenham Hotspur ranked fifth. They ranked 12 wins, eight draws, and six losses in 26 rounds, with 44 points in 28 points, and Sunderland next, with 37 points.
Now Manchester United is only one point ahead of Arsenal. Manchester United did not seize the opportunity in the last round of the game. At this time, Manchester United's lead was not big, and Manchester United did not seize the opportunity when they faced the Wolves at the end of the list in the last round. Not only did they not win, they were won by the Wolves, which is indeed a very regrettable. Next, Manchester United will usher in the second Manchester derby of the season, facing Manchester City at home.
In history, the two sides have had a total of 156 confrontations, with Manchester United winning 64 and 50 draws and 42 losses having a certain advantage. Last season, there were four Manchester derbys, with Manchester United winning and losing three wins and one loss (two wins in the league, one win and one loss in the League Cup) having a clear advantage. This season, the two sides only met once in the league, and Manchester United drew their opponents two to two.
This season, there are also many differences in dialogue between the two teams and the strong teams. Including Liverpool, Manchester United's record in the semi-league last season (real-time rankings) this season is three wins and two draws, with a winning rate of 60%, while Manchester City only has 2 wins, three draws and one loss. If Liverpool, who was in the relegation zone at the beginning of last season, in the past five games between Manchester City and the top five, Mancini's team has only scored a pitiful goal, with an astonishing attack power, while Manchester United scored three goals with two wins, two draws and one goal without conceding.
The confrontation between Manchester City and Manchester United can also be said to be a competition between forward players, with Gong Zheng on one side and Tevez on the other.
After transferring from Manchester United to Manchester City in the summer of 2009, Tevez has recently scored 49 goals for Manchester City in various competitions, and is very efficient. After joining Manchester City, he met Manchester United five times, and has scored five goals and two assists, and his efficiency is also very good. Among them, the Beast scored three goals in the League Cup, and the other two were scored in the league. This season, the Beast continues to have an excellent state, scoring 18 goals in 23 league games, ranking second in the second place in the last game. He scored a hat trick, and the Argentine's feet are now hot. In this round, facing Manchester United, which once brought damage to himself, and the deafening booing from Old Trafford, the Beast, which will definitely be "beast-burning" will never show mercy.
Gong Zheng is even more powerful. In the twenty-six rounds of the game, Gong Zheng has already scored 35 goals. This goal is much higher than Tevez's 18 goals. This guy cannot catch up with Gong Zheng at all. Gong Zheng has already locked in the best scorer of the season in advance.
This game was definitely very exciting, very exciting. The Manchester derby was very intense, just like the last game derby.
On February 12, 2011, Manchester United's home court at Old Trafford Stadium!
Old Trafford Stadium is located in Greater Manchester County to the west of Manchester City. It is home to the English club Manchester United and one of the most famous football stadiums in the world. Manchester United began to use this stadium as its home stadium in 1910. During World War II in 1941, the stadium was bombed by bombs and moved to Manchester City's home stadium Maine Road Stadium for a time. It was not until 1949 that Old Trafford Stadium was rebuilt.
It was already crowded here at noon, because the game will officially start at 1:45 pm. At noon, fans from both sides began to flock to the stadium. Fans from both sides were wearing their team jerseys, with clear camps. From the panoramic view, Manchester United fans obviously had many places. Manchester City was very big and large. Almost the entire red occupied the entire Old Trafford Stadium, while the blue was only a small piece.
Every game now is very important for Manchester United. They cannot make any mistakes, otherwise, the Arsenal behind them will seize the opportunity to surpass them and rank first. Therefore, Manchester United has only one purpose in this game, that is, three-pointers!
Manchester United's starting roster has not changed much in this game. The goalkeeper is Van der Sar, and the four defenders are Evra, Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and Rafael. In the double midfielder, Fletcher and Gurkuf are one of the main defenders and the other is the main attack. The three players on the front line are Nani, Rooney and Valencia, and the one who is at the forefront is Gong Zheng.
Manchester City sent out a four-three-one-two formation. The goalkeeper was Joe Hart, the four defenders were Sabaleta, Kloe Toure, Kompany and Michael Richards. The three midfielders were Milner, Yaya Toure and Wright Phillips, David Silva in the midfield, and the double-team combination on the front line was Tevez and Edin Dzeko.
After the transfer during the winter break, Edin Dzeko has not started for his new club. This Manchester derby is Edin Dzeko's first start for his new club. Manchester City fans are looking forward to this guy.
The law enforcement referee of this game was Howard Webber. This kid was the law enforcement officer of the last Manchester derby. It is rare to contact the referee of the Manchester derby in one season. This may also be a highlight of this game. With the attention of all the fans of the game, Howard Webber immediately blew the whistle to officially start the game.
At the beginning of the game, Manchester City took the lead in the away game and rushed towards Manchester United's half. Manchester City attacked fiercely as soon as they came up.
After a series of backward passes, the ball rolled to the feet of David Silva in the middle, and Manchester United's midfielder Fletcher immediately rushed over.
At this moment, David Silva suddenly turned around and stepped on the ball, blocked Fletcher with his back, and then quickly turned around and walked towards the side. Fletcher had to follow, and just as Fletcher followed, David Silva suddenly raised his foot and passed the ball straight into Manchester United's penalty area.
The football rolled rapidly towards Manchester United's penalty area, and Manchester City's forward Tevez penetrated into Manchester United's ribs like a sharp dagger. All Manchester United fans hugged their heads nervously, with a look of horror on their faces.
"David Silva got rid of Fletcher and made a straight pass..." The commentator of Sky Sports suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, Tevez, Tevez is in the penalty area, dangerous!"
Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson bounced up from his position on the sidelines, staring at Manchester United's penalty area with his eyes tightly watching Tevez who was quickly inserted into it.
Manchester City manager Robert Mancini had his eyes lit up. If he led Manchester United just at the beginning of the game, then this game would be easy. He was looking forward to Tevez shooting against Manchester United's goal.
Teves is not popular with Manchester United fans. When Teves left Manchester United and was preparing to transfer to Manchester City, Manchester United fans were very angry and burned Teves' jersey to express their anger.
Tevez is also very unhappy about Manchester United fans treating him like this. He has been looking for opportunities to retaliate against Manchester United fans. Almost every game against Manchester United, this guy is very excited, and today is the best manifestation.
At Old Trafford, what he wanted to do the most was to send the football into Manchester United's goal, leaving Manchester United fans speechless and silent!
Now the opportunity has come. Tevez shot into Manchester United's penalty area like a sharp arrow. He successfully counterattacked and faced Manchester United's goal directly.
Oh my God! Manchester United fans were extremely nervous, their eyes wide open and their faces were full of horror.
"Shot!" The commentator of Sky Sports suddenly shouted, which scared Manchester United fans.
