The 155th Manchester Derby is the first game to watch this round. In order to take into account the viewing time of Asian viewers, the game kicks off at 13:45 local time in the UK.
Although Manchester City won twice at the City Stadium at home this season, they lost 1-2 as a guest in the League Cup. The Manchester derby played at Manchester City's home court has been evenly divided in the past 12 years, with Manchester United having a slight advantage with 7 wins and 5 losses.
Manchester United previously had the upper hand with 63 wins, 49 draws and 42 losses. In the 25 historical encounters in the Premier League, Manchester United had the upper hand with 15 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, including 7 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in away games. Manchester City rotated 2 players, with Bridge and De Jong starting.
.For Manchester United, Ferdinand was injured, Rooney recovered in time, and Evans, Evra, Fletcher and Gibson started.
In the first round of the League Cup, the feud between Gary Neville and Carlos Tevez became the focus after the game.
Manchester City fans will definitely take special care of the Manchester United captain during the game.[
Li Yu was still chatting happily with Rooney before kick-off. The two had not started together in the game for nearly two weeks.
"Fat man, if you don't show up, look at how worried the British media are. What a shame!"
"Come on, you kid, stop talking nonsense, you're just trying to make a fortune in silence!"
The referee noticed that Manchester United's two strikers were still chatting and immediately signaled them to stand up and the game was about to begin.
The two immediately put away their smiling faces. After the whistle blew, Rooney handed the ball to Li Yu and the game officially began.
This time Manchester City was very tenacious and very difficult to deal with at their home court.
In the 24th minute of the first half, Li Yu scored the first goal for Manchester United. Just like in any previous game, they took the lead.
It stands to reason that the rhythm of this game should fall into the hands of Manchester United. Manchester City can only be led by the lead Manchester United.
But the actual development was completely different.
Just five minutes after Manchester United scored, Manchester City quickly equalized the score, and Tevez scored.
Manchester City's number one star this season has pushed Manchester United into the abyss.
But after all, Manchester United's overall strength is stronger than Manchester City, so they took the lead again before the end of the first half. This time the scorer was Rooney.
But the voices cheering for Manchester City in the stands never stopped for a moment.
Perhaps the fans also understand that the outcome of this game is directly related to the qualification for the Champions League, so the Manchester City fans in the stands are particularly excited.
Encouraged by them, Manchester City's performance was also very impressive.
Even though Manchester United was already ahead, they still felt tremendous pressure, which was passed on to them by the tenacious Manchester City players.
Although Manchester City worked hard, they were unable to equalize the score until the end of the first half.
However, Manchester City's players did not hang their heads down. Amid the applause of the home fans, they held their heads high when they came off the field.
Under the guidance of Mancini, this Manchester City team has begun to take on the temperament of a wealthy team.[
Perhaps judging from the reaction of the fans, it was Manchester City who took the lead in the first half.
The away fans and players of Manchester United will not know that in the hearts of Manchester City players, their goal this season is to qualify for the Champions League. What is a wealthy club? It cannot be built with money in one day. It must have corresponding performance accumulation.
Qualifying for the Champions League is the first important goal on Manchester City's growth path.
So no matter what, Manchester City players will not give up this game easily.
No matter what, we cannot lose to Manchester United.
This is the voice of all Manchester City players.
Back in the dressing room, Mancini comforted all the players, even though they didn't seem to need comfort.
Of course Mancini knows this, he knows that the players are high-spirited, but this is not enough, he has to add fuel to the fire.
The Italian, who has always been stingy with his words, started to comfort his players in the midfield. He did not say how crucial and important the game was to the club and this season, but he was trying to comfort him?
On the contrary, it made the players feel ashamed. The Italian's unexpected remarks had a good effect.
They would rather Mancini scold them now than say such words to make them feel better. This resentment can only be vented on Manchester United in the second half.
This self-blame eventually turned into fuel in their hearts, causing their anger to burn more and more intensely, becoming the driving force for them to move forward.
After returning to the City Stadium, their performance suddenly improved compared to the first half.
This was far beyond Manchester United's expectations and caught the Manchester United players by surprise.
As a result, Manchester City scored first not long after the start of the second half.
"Tevez! Another Argentinian!!! Ferguson will definitely regret it very much now. When Manchester United is still looking for a good striker, the former Manchester United player gave the old man a good pill of regret!" The commentator
The member shouted.
Huge cheers erupted from the stands of the City Stadium, and the fans jumped up from their seats and waved their fists vigorously.
"Manchester City evened the score twice after falling behind twice! They are really tenacious!"
"Tevez's goal reminded the Manchester United people that this is at the City Stadium! This is Manchester City's home court! They will not be defeated by their rivals in the same city so easily!"
The commentators cheered for Manchester City.
When did Manchester City become so bloody? This is the impression Manchester United should give people!
Manchester City's progress is so huge that in the future the Manchester Derby will surely surpass all other derbies in England. Manchester City's strong rise has turned the city of Manchester into a real derby battlefield.
Li Yu was also constantly thinking about the process of the game, and found that the Manchester City people played with more energy and blood than they did today. In other words, the Manchester City people's desire for victory was stronger than them.[
What makes Manchester United players seem to be less eager to win than before?
A winning streak? Apparently not!
Fatigue? Neither!
Now Manchester United has more vigor and less vigor!
Especially in the midfield, Manchester United's midfield interception ability is pretty good, but in terms of creativity, it is not as good as before!
It relies more on experience and familiarity with the tactical system to maintain the front and rear systems.
Time is not forgiving, many people in Manchester United are old, including Ferguson, they are all old.
The only change may be in Manchester United's forward line, but many times, the forward players are not omnipotent and must rely on the support of the midfield, but now it is obviously not enough.
In the next game, the two sides were in a stalemate. Manchester United wanted to regain the lead, but Manchester City was persistent and refused to give them such a chance.
The Manchester City fans in the stands were very excited after seeing their team entanglement with Manchester United. Regardless of whether they are willing to admit it or not, Manchester United is now more powerful than Manchester City. This is a fact. Can Manchester United be entangled?
This method makes them feel that their team's performance is no worse than Manchester United. The most important thing is to create some minor troubles for Manchester United to win the championship, which is a great sense of accomplishment.
And not only were they able to trap Manchester United and prevent them from scoring, they also used a counterattack in the 70th minute to score the go-ahead goal!
When Adam Johnson scored the third goal, the City Stadium completely erupted!
Reversal, in the past, Manchester City was reversed by Manchester United, but now Manchester City can reverse Manchester United in the game.
The blue ocean of the City Stadium instantly set off a huge tsunami, and the passion of Manchester City fans was the huge waves one after another!
"Adam Johnson! This amazing young man! His goal gave Manchester City hope of the Champions League! Manchester City also has outstanding young people. He stepped up to referee this game at this moment. Manchester City is now
It's the leading side, the score is 3:2! What an exciting score, we overtook!!! Reversal of Manchester United!!!"
Adam Johnson opened his arms and ran towards the coaching bench. Behind him was a large group of his teammates, and they followed him into the crowd in front of the coaching bench.
Adam Johnson, who was in the lead, rushed straight in front of Mancini, and the Italian subconsciously dodged some.
However, more people came up and completely submerged the two of them.
They are using this way to express their respect to Mancini. It was the Italian who gave them the feeling of victory and the confidence to win the game.
"This is such a tender scene..." a commentator sighed.
Some people have even begun to imagine that if Manchester City can win this game, then the players should lift Mancini high and carry him around the field after the game, because the final victory of this game means too much.
There are more, and one of the most critical things is that the city of Manchester no longer has only one giant, but two, and there is also a Manchester City club that can beat Manchester United, which is at its peak.
However, often during celebrations, there are always discordant people, because they support Manchester United. The away Manchester United fans are booing in the blue sea to express their dissatisfaction.
mood.
Rooney looked at the Manchester City players celebrating crazily, snorted, and said to Li Yu next to him: "Should we add some special gifts to their celebrations, what do you think?"
"What?"
"Goal! Or we can also give them a comeback gift package!"
Rooney pulled the football under his feet, he couldn't wait for the kick-off.
He only scored one goal in this game, and Li Yu also scored. If each of them scored another goal, they would just complete the reversal package that Rooney said.
Manchester City's celebration lasted so long that the referee couldn't stand it anymore and came to dissuade them and asked them to return to the pitch quickly.
When running back to the court, Adam Johnson received cheers from Manchester City fans, who would not be stingy with their encouragement for young people.
Some fans even compared him to Li Yu, shouting: "We have Johnson, we don't envy Manchester United!"
Is this really the case? Perhaps Adam Johnson himself felt a little embarrassed to be called so by the fans. Can he really be compared to Li Yu at the phenomenal level? Shaking his head, Adam Johnson was already preparing to start the game again.
.
Just four minutes after Manchester City's reversal, this time it was the turn of the Manchester United people to quickly return the favor with a big gift!
They equalized the score!
"Manchester United No. 9! It's that Chinese kid again, damn it! I really don't want him to appear in the picture, he flew up! Header! It's over, no suspense! Given is no match for him!"
"Li Yu equalized the score for Manchester United! The excitement of the Manchester derby is simply amazing. We must always be vigilant. We don't know when the goal will appear. Neutral fans will definitely be very excited. There are enough goals.
, a hot enough scene, is there anything more wonderful than this?”
"The Italians and his players seemed to be happy too early. The game has not yet ended. Now their passionate celebration just now is more like a joke, because the two teams are now back on the same starting line. I don't know who will laugh.
What about in the end?”
"Ah...ah...oh!" After seeing Li Yu smash the football into the Manchester City goal, the Manchester City commentator hugged his head in pain and let out a depressed lament. Apart from sighing, he really didn't know.
What should I say?
Initially, he was still hopeful about taking the lead, but just four minutes later, his hopes were dashed.
This feeling was really unpleasant. If he had a choice, he would rather not give him hope at all in the first place, so that his heart would not hurt so much.
After scoring the goal, Li Yu did not run. Amid the boos from the Manchester City fans at the City Stadium, Manchester United No. 9 picked up the football, turned around and ran towards the center circle. Looking at this posture, two goals are not the end, one point.
Nor can it satisfy Manchester United's striker.
Deafening boos came to him overwhelmingly, but he showed no fear and placed the ball firmly on the kick-off point, waiting for the Manchester City players to kick off again.
After Li Yu scored, Ferguson stood up from his seat. This was the first time he stood up in this game. Before that, he had been sitting on the coaching bench, chewing gum.
He called the team's captain Neville off the court and said to him: "We still need to score goals. When it's time for us to perform, tell everyone that what I want is three points!"
Neville clicked and immediately ran back to the field to convey coach Ferguson's intentions.
The old man only has victory in his dictionary, and only victory can reassure him. He is really old, and I don’t know when, the idea of a draw has flashed in his mind. At the critical moment, Ferguson still found himself, three points! Must!
It’s three points!
Just watching the Manchester City people celebrating the goal passionately, Ferguson really felt that he was getting old. He might not be able to run anymore. Yes, when was the last time he rushed into the field to celebrate a goal passionately?
The old man no longer remembers it, and Manchester United seems to be lacking some vitality now!
At this time, Ferguson was thinking about a problem that many people had not thought of. Manchester United seemed to have reached the point of change, but it was not the time yet. Everything would have to be carefully considered after the end of the season.
When he thought about this, even though he didn't want to admit it, he still felt a little sad.
He has been evading this problem more than once, and today he evaded it again, with a good excuse, the league champion and the Champions League champion!
Ferguson was still chewing gum in his mouth. No one noticed his mental changes, and no one knew what he was thinking just now.
Ferguson's words successfully aroused the morale of the Manchester United team. The aging midfielder regained his previous vitality and became more and more threatening as he played.
Manchester United counterattacked again. This time Rooney drove the ball upfield alone, used his own technical breakthrough, passed Kompany, and directly faced goalkeeper Given.
All the Manchester City fans were very excited. This was a one-shot goal!
With Rooney's ability, can he easily let go of such an opportunity?
Rooney scored!
Goalkeeper Ji Wen did not judge the opponent's direction, he rushed to the completely opposite place.
But the football did not fly into the goal, but rolled off the bottom line while grazing the goalpost...
"Oops!!" The commentator on Manchester United TV was so disappointed. When he watched Rooney deceiving goalkeeper Given and "shooting" the football towards the goal, he couldn't wait to raise his arms and cheer. The next second
He slapped his hands on the top of his head hard, and then he knelt on the grass with his head in his hands. He really wanted to score.
"Rooney missed an opportunity to be a hero!"
"Manchester City people must be in a cold sweat! It was so thrilling just now! Manchester United organized such a counterattack, and the game seems to be controlled by Manchester United again!"
"Fat man still has a chance, get up quickly!" Li Yu ran over to comfort Rooney.
Rooney nodded, stood up, and ran back to his place.
Perhaps due to the influence of a single strike, Manchester United scored and turned the game around, but in the end it was not Rooney who scored the goal, but the rejuvenated veteran midfielder Paul Scholes.
Manchester United staged a decisive victory in the 93rd minute. Evra made a pass from the left, and Scholes, who was defending, headed the ball from 12 yards.
He scored his 6th goal of the season and scored 149 goals for Manchester United in his career. In the end, Manchester United double defeated Manchester City.
After scoring the goal, the ginger head celebrated with a rare passion in his career. He skated close to the ground, enjoying the feeling of the grass rubbing against his thighs. On the grass, the Manchester United veteran stayed on the green for another year. In the next year
, will there ever be such a moment again?
3:4! The two teams scored a total of 7 goals. Manchester City fans may not believe it until the last moment. In the end, their team was reversed by Manchester United again!
They kept venting their disappointment and didn't leave for a long time. They didn't forget to give applause to all the Manchester City players today. The performance of the Manchester City players today was enough to win their applause. It's just the damn Manchester United people, at the end.
Moment scored a damn goal!
The buzzer beater has become the main theme of the Manchester derby, and the victim is always Manchester City. This is unfair!
But the game is over, Manchester United has already got three players, and Manchester City needs to pray that Tottenham will also not get points in the next game. To advance to the Champions League, Manchester City now has to look at the faces of others!
