"Although the league has only started two rounds, Dick has already begun to show his magic... A team signed more than ten people in the summer, only ten players from last season are retained, and eight players in the main lineup are
The team that joined this season has won two consecutive victories in the first two rounds of the Premier League, scoring five goals without conceding any goals. This has ranked them second in the standings. They
The goal difference is the same as Liverpool, but they scored one less goal than Liverpool and ranked second. Everton with three goal difference ranked third, and fourth was Chelsea with two goal difference.
, these are also the four teams that have been able to maintain a winning streak since the beginning of this season! The situation of Arsenal and Manchester United is not particularly good. Arsenal is okay. They are currently ranked seventh with one win and one draw, while Manchester United is not.
They encountered some troubles. In the first two rounds, they were tied by Reading and Portsmouth. They only scored one goal in the two rounds. In the last round of the league, their Cristiano Ronaldo scored.
received a yellow card, and main forward Rooney was absent due to injury, which is also one of the reasons for their poor performance in the first two rounds. Facing the menacing Manchester City, Manchester United will encounter unprecedented challenges!"
I have to say that the media in England just have no moral integrity. It is not uncommon for Manchester United to start slowly, including when they dominated the Premier League before. They often started slowly, but it did not affect their continuous success in winning championships. Manchester United
The difficulties now are indeed great, but the season has just begun, and they are said to be facing unprecedented challenges... This really means that their moral integrity has been eaten away...
"The league has just started, what is there to say? If we beat Manchester United and win three consecutive games, then we will have some confidence." Dick said in an interview.
"Many people think Dick is an arrogant guy, but it is obvious that he is not. The league has just begun now, and we also need to adjust and inspire fighting spirit. This game will be difficult, but Manchester United has never
Will be knocked down by defeat." Ferguson said with a smile during the interview.
The reporters were disappointed, very disappointed.
You are Dick! The Dick who always likes to cause trouble! Facing the devil who has dominated the Premier League in the past ten years, how can you not provoke! How can you not quarrel! Ferguson is also a very eloquent master, so you are quarreling!
Make a noise! This way we can write reports!
But they didn't quarrel. Dick maintained enough respect for Ferguson like an ordinary junior, and Ferguson praised Dick like a kind-hearted elder. The two sides were in harmony to the extreme - this made Manchester United
The fans of Manchester City are also a little bit at a loss. Before the Manchester derby, they could scold and quarrel as much as they wanted. But now, the two managers are so kind and we can't quarrel.
Quarrel?
But soon, they made up their minds - they had to scold them! Among other things, they had to boost the morale of our team!
As fans from both sides began to warm up for the game, Dick also managed the morale of the players in the team.
"Since it's a derby, beat down those guys who are robbing us of resources!" Dick shouted, waving his fists.
"Oh!" shouted Manchester City players, shaking their fists.
Ferguson's low-key is also justified. The current situation of Manchester United is indeed not very good. Ronaldo Rooney, the new twin stars, will be absent from the Manchester Derby. And Neville, who has been Manchester United's strong right winger for the past ten years, has also
Injured and unable to play, this makes Ferguson's lineup feel quite stretched. Although it is not impossible to come up with a starting lineup, now, the first team of a top team is not just the difference between the main force and the substitutes.
What kind of lineup you use to make your opponent miscalculate is also a very important factor.
Ferguson knew what kind of lineup he would field in the midweek derby after missing these three main players. Dick could already guess it. On the contrary, he had no idea what kind of lineup Manchester City would field.
Too sure, after all, Manchester City has changed a lot of people now. Although their main players in the first two rounds are relatively stable, who knows if Dick has saved a hand - this young head coach is very cunning, although he will not put a certain
Players are left to play until the end of the season, but now that the season has just begun, it is normal to leave some backup, such as the young Chilean midfielder, such as Ashley Young, these may become the starter of this game and become this
Ferguson couldn't predict the changes in each game.
Manchester City is a new team, and it is precisely because of the new team that there may be endless changes. Everything is in Dick's mind, and it has not been exposed to others yet. But what about Manchester United? Although
Mature, but some of their previous changes have been analyzed by others. It is not realistic for the newly joined players to form new changes. In other words, Manchester United is now in the open, while Manchester City is in the dark.
Manchester United suffered a serious loss of personnel, and Ferguson is not too optimistic about his team now.
It's just that Ferguson doesn't particularly care about the outcome of this game. There are thirty-eight games in a season, and two games in one won't have much impact, so Ferguson chose to keep a low profile before the game. This is what he is good at.
things.
Dick also chose to keep a low profile, which made Ferguson a little curious. It wasn't that he thought Dick should take the initiative to provoke, but that Dick didn't seem to need to do so. Why was this?
Ferguson has been paying attention to Dick, a young man, for a long time. His evaluation of Dick is that he is a head coach with almost no shortcomings. It’s not that he doesn’t make mistakes, but that the mistakes he makes are not big. He has a accurate vision in building the team.
, there are almost no mistakes in buying people, he often has a masterstroke in commanding the game, and he can withstand pressure at critical times. The most terrible thing is that this guy has such good luck from beginning to end, and he always gets the full support of the club - Ferguson knows that
How important this is for a head coach.
Now, he has come to the Premier League, to this league that he has never conquered in the end, and has become Ferguson's rival in the same city - which makes Ferguson begin to feel that he needs to be a formal opponent.
August 19, City Stadium.
From this morning on, the fans of Manchester United and Manchester City began to start their own confrontation. Although this game was played at Manchester City's home court, as the local boss of Manchester, Manchester United fans still poured into the City Stadium with five or six thousand people.
, for the City Stadium, which can only accommodate more than 40,000 fans, this is already a number of people that can influence the atmosphere of the stadium.
When the players from both sides were preparing to take the field, the atmosphere at the City Stadium began to reach its peak.
There is not much doubt about the starting lineup sent by Ferguson. The goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar, who joined two years ago. The one who replaces Neville at the right back position is youth training defender Wes Brown. This defender has always been favored by everyone.
The target has excellent physical fitness and comprehensive skills, but he always fails to hit...
The left back is Frenchman Evra, the center back partner is Ferdinand and Vidic, the midfield double midfielder is the partner of Hargreaves and Carrick, who played for Manchester United for the first time, and Nani appears on the right wing.
In the position, Giggs is the left winger, Scholes is forward, and the Argentinian Tevez is the lone forward replacing Rooney.
This is a very normal start. Brown, Nani and Tevez replaced Neville, Ronaldo and Rooney. Only these three people can replace their positions - Manchester United's current employment dilemma starts from the bench.
It can be seen that there is nothing that can be used as a decisive factor. Ferguson even brought two players promoted from the youth team, Eagles and Campbell, to the bench, plus O'Shea and Anderson - this is
Manchester United's sixteen-man squad.
In addition to Rooney and Neville recovering from injuries, Manchester United's Park Ji-sung, Saha, Solskjaer, and Fletcher are all on the injury list. It's no wonder Ferguson has a headache.
Compared with Manchester United, Dick's personnel selection is much more generous. Dick did not buy injured players. Now he can use all 24 players. In this game, Dick also gave Ferguson a
surprise.
After Iksason's solid performance in the last game, he failed to get a starting position in this game. Joe Hart stepped into the field to guard the door for Manchester City. On the defense line, Richards sat on the bench to replace him.
But it wasn't Sun Jihai, but the young Croatian defender Joel Luka - using a 1.91 meter tall defender to play as a full-back, Dick was quite original.
There are no changes in the center back and left back. Samuel and Kompany partner in the center, and Barnes serves as the left back. In the midfield, Dick still sends Button, Parker and Yaya Toure, and the strike partner continues to be Li.
Berry, Torres and Di Natale, there won't be many changes in this. Ribery and Torres are famous enough, and Di Natale scored two goals in the first two rounds of the league. Such goals
The rate will not be ignored by anyone. Even if Vassell is an England international, he cannot compete with these three people.
Looking at Manchester City's lineup, Ferguson couldn't help but murmur in his heart. Changing three goalkeepers in three games shows that Manchester City's current goalkeeper position is not stable. Ferguson doesn't care about this. He has often been like this after Schmeichel retired.
After changing the goalkeeper, Dick just took over and did not buy a goalkeeper. It is normal to observe who is more suitable among the three goalkeepers through the game.
Instead, use Joel Luka as the right back... Ferguson can't understand this. Richards didn't play badly in the first two rounds of the league and did well both offensively and defensively, but at this time, he was replaced with this Croatian central defender.
What is the reason for coming to this side as a guest? Or is Richards injured? Or does this young central defender have any outstanding performance in the right back position?
With this question in mind, Ferguson came to the visiting team's coaching bench and decided to take a closer look at the game.
Dick appeared amidst the cheers of Manchester City fans. He raised his hands to signal to the stands, and the Manchester City fans responded with cheers. At this moment, his brilliance was unmatched.
Mansour, who came to watch the game again, laughed. He began to think that this Dick was really interesting. It had only been a few days, but so many fans started cheering for him - but he didn't mind this.
Entering the Premier League is actually just a product of a grudge between the UAE royal family and the Saudi royal family. The Abu Dhabi Group wants to expand its popularity, and football is only one aspect of it.
If Dick can lead Manchester City well, then the Abu Dhabi Group's goal will be achieved, and so will Mansour's goal.
This is the biggest difference between him and Abu. Abu does it to increase exposure and security, while he... just does it for fun.
