Chapter 396: The Eve of the Great War

Being able to enjoy a football feast and get instant sales on products means you won’t feel lonely on Singles’ Day!

For Manchester United, this game is quite difficult.

Both Nani and Rooney were injured and Li Yu was the only one who played the leading role in the attack.

With this configuration, it is easy for Manchester City to find tactics to block Manchester United's attack points!

Although the recent performance of new aid Hernandez is quite good, in the big game, it is the first Manchester Derby that the Mexican youngster can perform well.

People will still place most of their hopes on Li Yu.

Especially in China, most of the people who watch football come here for Li Yu. It doesn't matter which team they are, and sometimes they don't care about the outcome. The key is Li Yu's performance.

Some star-chasers think that football is an 11-person team sport, but in the eyes of these people, idols are the focus, and everything else is just a cloud.

Blind is a bit blind, but being able to have a large number of such fans shows Li Yu's popularity in China.

Now that Yao Ming has retired from the NBA, the god-creator has slowly stepped down from the altar.

Only Li Yu, an idol who made his own way out of the wild, is more convincing and can reach the hearts of the people more directly.

The ban at one time seems so ridiculous now. A player with such achievements cannot be blocked with just a piece of paper!

Li Yu didn't know that he had become one of the two major themes on Singles' Day in China.

It sounds like Singles' Day is a bit off-putting, but it's not a bad way to spend it.

Manchester United's rival, Manchester City, is not that popular in China. This has something to do with the club's heritage. If it weren't for the fact that Chinese players had studied abroad at this club, many fans might not know that there is another restaurant in Manchester.

Manchester City.

A wealthy family is not built in a day. At least the appeal and popularity around the world cannot be bought by waving a check, let alone those hidden things. Without decades of accumulation, don't even think about it.

Having said that, in fact, according to the British media, Manchester City's current player configuration is no worse than Manchester United. It can even be described as more capable. It is good to have money!

Manchester United's annual bank interest is enough to support the club to buy a strong foreign player, but the money has to be used to pay off debts.

The most profitable club in the Premier League is actually operating with debt. It is no wonder that Manchester United fans are quite hostile to the Glazer family, the actual owners of the club.

Comparing the two, the final outcome of this game is really exciting!

On the day of the game, just like every important event, Sky TV was fully mobilized, and helicopters for aerial photography hovered over the city stadium early.

The two teams of fans who had gathered early around the stadium were separated by a large number of mounted police, clearly distinguishing each other.

Before the game starts, it's more like a festival and a big gathering of fans.

It is also very interesting to say that in the past, Premier League games were held in the evening. Now, in order to cater for the needs of Asian fans, many important games have been changed to kick off around 1 o'clock.

Many of the fans from both teams who came to the stadium were eating hot dogs and drinking beer while waiting for the game to officially start. The strong smell of hot dogs could be smelled from a long distance away.

This is also the latest unique landscape outside the Premier League stadium.

Facing the various interview cameras that were constantly scanning, the fans, who thought they had appeared on camera, ate the entire hot dog in one big gulp.

It's a bit like a food contest to see who can eat faster.

This is not the case for fans who choose to watch the game at home or in a hotel!

While eating lunch and watching the game, British fans gradually began to accept this way of watching football.

The last time Manchester City won a championship was in 1976, when they won the League Cup.

But since Sheikh Mansour took over Manchester City in the summer of 2008, he has spent hundreds of millions of pounds to strengthen the Blue Moon squad and poached Carlos Tevez from Manchester United.

Last year, Manchester City produced a "Welcome to Manchester" poster featuring Carlos Tevez, which made Ferguson still dissatisfied. Tonight, as the Manchester derby is about to begin, Ferguson has something to say.

"I don't know what they did with that poster. It was probably a trick by advertisers, but I don't think they are really proud of it. They should think more about how to beat us on the field and get more from us.

Points instead of these. I said it was stupid at the time and maybe they think so now. A Manchester City fan said in his

The tattoo on his body is, 'European Cup Winners' Cup Winners.' I mean, people get excited about a championship. I think if you ask Manchester City fans, they would rather see the team have a championship parade. Unfortunately,

, Manchester City have no trophies and their fans are as bad as their managers, who are almost clowns."

"The year I came to Manchester United from Aberdeen, Manchester City was relegated. They have been in the second tier for a long time and have only continued to appear in the Premier League in recent years. They are far from stable enough and their organization is far from stable.

Far from perfect. I like Mancini, he is a good coach. When you stand in front

It's always a difficult task with some new players, you have to be organized. He did a good job. Manchester City started the season well and I know they spent a lot of money, they bought five or six players in the summer.

They're going to keep doing this until they win something."

Manchester United general Evra also looked down on their "noisy neighbor" before the game. "Manchester City always likes to brag, but they will never beat us and we don't care what they say. We don't need to just play against Manchester City."

If we win, we are looking at winning the whole league. If we win, it will be a good result for Manchester United, which is normal, nothing special. When we start this season, we are thinking about winning every game.

Manchester United doesn't need too many players, I think the lineup is strong enough."

Compared with Evra, the 35-year-old Scholes behaved very rationally before the game, "We want to win the championship, but we can't win everything. We all aspire to beat Manchester City, even a 21-year-old newcomer.

We all feel that way. We don't want to see Manchester City win anything, just like they don't want to see us win anything."

In an interview with the Daily Star, Manchester United's legendary striker Andy Cole insisted that Manchester United even had a better striker than Manchester City.

"Manchester United still have a better front line than Manchester City and there is no doubt that the Red Devils will miss Rooney. When he is fit, he is a finisher, but Hernandez is also a terrifying goalscorer. He is in

Manchester United has had an extremely good start. Owen may not have played as many games as he wanted to, but Manchester United also has Macheda following him.

Of course, Manchester United also has Li Yu, who is a perfect striker in every aspect and can produce magic goals at any time. Sir Alex Ferguson may want them to be like us in 1999,

All our four-man pairs can play together, I don’t know why, it’s very strange.”

"I don't know the situation at Manchester City. Tevez is their key player, but he can't always do it alone. Adebayor can play in most teams, but he didn't play much in Manchester City.

That's why I'm bullish on Manchester United, especially because Manchester City have problems in their dressing room. Manchester City

They have lost three games in the league and you can only afford to lose four or five games to win the title. Even if they win the derby, it will not change my opinion. As a Manchester United fan, I hope not to wait until the last minute.

There was a winner, but in my opinion it was not surprising that Manchester United scored at the last moment."

The war is about to begin, but Manchester United's injuries are worrying. In addition to Rooney, who has not returned from the United States and is definitely absent, Scholes and Giggs may also be absent.

Manchester United TV's pre-match interview with Scholes was canceled because the ginger was unwell.

Giggs may also miss the game due to injury. Giggs has participated in 33 consecutive derby games. This will be the first time the Welshman has missed the derby since 1991.

However, Ferguson is very much looking forward to tonight's game. "The derby has a fantastic atmosphere. Do you want to watch a game between Manchester City and Manchester United, or a game between Clare and Crewe?" "Daily"

The Post stated that about 400 police officers will maintain order tonight. The police will designate a no-alcohol zone. If the police feel that fans watching the game while drinking will cause them trouble, they will have special arrangements tonight.

They have the right to prohibit the sale of alcohol or even force the liquor store to close its doors.

Those who can eat and drink at the scene are considered a group of happy fans!

After all the people connected with Manchester City have finished vomiting their words, Manchester City are about to make their debut over there!

Every season in the Premier League, Manchester United has to face the two most important derbies, one is the English derby with Liverpool, and the other is the city derby with Manchester City.

But compared to Ferguson's respect and awe for the Red Army, before every Manchester derby, Sir Alex always made a habit of sarcastically sarcastic remarks about Manchester City, especially after the wealthy boss from the Middle East took over.

In the middle of this week, the first Manchester derby of the new season is about to start. Ferguson once again resorted to psychological warfare, saying that "Manchester City always boasts that it has become a giant, but it always fails to win any trophies." This hit the nail on the head.

Manchester City's pain point, Mancini couldn't help but start to fight back.

Fans of both Manchester United and Manchester City know that in the corner of the Old Trafford stand, there is a flag recording the number of years Manchester City has not won a championship. The number on it has now jumped to 34, and Manchester City's last championship was traced back to 1976.

League Cup.

When Mancini took office, he vowed to tear down this humiliating banner with a championship trophy. In the 11 months since he coached Manchester City, he has brought Manchester City to fourth place in the Premier League rankings. In Mancini's view,

This achievement should be respected by Ferguson and other Premier League teams.

Mancini spoke frankly in an interview with the Mirror: "Not only Manchester United, but all Premier League teams must respect the Manchester City players and the history of Manchester City. Although Manchester City has achieved nothing in the past few years, they have a great history. We are very

Respect Manchester United, and we also hope Manchester United respects us. The number of trophies is not important, respect the opponent and get the opponent

Respect is more important. I think Manchester United now regards us as a strong team. The past strength comparison is gone forever. We respect Manchester United and respect Ferguson because he is one of the best coaches in the world.

But we know we can beat Manchester United at any time and that's why it's a classic showdown between two great teams."

Last season, Manchester City and Manchester United met four times. Although Manchester City lost three games, they were all scored fatal goals by Manchester United at the last moment of the game. Mancini believes that Manchester City has changed the past disparity in strength between the two sides.

In comparison, the two sides are now evenly matched.

"Manchester United is a strong team. They will fight happily until the last second of the game and always win at the last minute. In their last game, they defeated Wolves in the last minute.

.They have a strong mentality, which is why Manchester United has won so many trophies, but the most important thing for us is

, in the four confrontations last season, Manchester City's performance was exactly the same as that of the opponent. This season our strength has been strengthened, and maybe we will lose again, because we always lose in football matches.

It's inevitable, but when two top clubs of equal strength face off, anything can happen."

If Manchester City wins, their points will catch up with Manchester United and approach Chelsea. Mancini believes Ancelotti's team is the favorite to win the championship, but if Manchester City can remain at the top of the standings, it will have the ability to disrupt

The pattern of the Premier League title race this season.

"For me it's important to always be in second or third place and I think Chelsea will win the league but the teams behind them will also have a chance because the season is so long and difficult. I think

My point of view is that Chelsea is better than other teams, but sometimes the best team may not necessarily win the championship. Our minimum goal is to enter the Champions League. Otherwise, it depends on our performance. If we win next year

, we can still bite Chelsea or Manchester United in February, then Manchester City will have a chance to win the championship."

As for Rooney's previous request to leave Manchester United, Mancini said he was not surprised at all.

"I think it is by no means impossible for Rooney to leave Manchester United. Any player in today's football can leave a team, but I have never been in contact with Rooney and I have not seen him in the year since I came here.

"The 25-year-old Rooney will continue to miss this game due to injury, and Manchester City's top scorer Carlos Tevez may also be absent.

According to the "Daily Mail", Tevez will undergo a final inspection on Wednesday, local time, a few hours before the start of the Manchester City derby. At that time, Mancini will make the final choice and he needs to decide

Whether to make a bold gamble and risk and let Tevez go into battle injured to face his old boss.

It is said that Tevez, the captain of Manchester City, told his friends privately that his chance of participating was at most 50%. Although he was looking forward to this game, Tevez did not want to play a closed game.

In fact, Mancini allowed Tevez to play 90 minutes in the last round of the league, which may have aggravated the Argentine forward's injury. In the 13 games Tevez started for Manchester City this season, Tevez was able to advance early 9 times.

At the end of the game, Mancini was worried that Tevez would be injured, but

Whatever you are afraid of, what the Italians are most worried about happened in the 0-3 loss to Arsenal. But according to Manchester City, Tevez had a massage treatment yesterday. Although he has not fully recovered from his injury,

The club expressed optimism about Tevez's appearance.

At the same time, Assulin, a young rookie who joined from Barcelona this summer, will also play tomorrow, but he will participate in a friendly match with the Ajax reserve team.

Assulin, who was once called the "new Messi" by the Spanish media, terminated his contract with Barcelona this summer, while Manchester City signed a four-year contract with Assulin after defeating Arsenal. In addition, the "Daily Mail" also revealed that Wo

Wolfsburg recently inquired about Santa Cruz from Manchester City. Since Manchester City has been chasing Wolfsburg's efficient striker Dzeko, Santa Cruz may become a transfer bargaining chip for Manchester City to purchase Dzeko, but Mancini will also face Bayern.

competition.

The Football Association of England officially announced that it rejected Manchester City's appeal against striker Balotelli's red card and upheld Balotelli's three-match ban. He will definitely miss the Manchester derby with Manchester United early tomorrow morning.

In the last round of the Premier League, Manchester City defeated West Brom 2-0 with Balotelli's two goals. However, the Italian, who is both an angel and a devil, violently knocked down West Brom player Mulumbu in the second half, and then imposed

Black foot, resulting in a direct red card.

After the game, Manchester City coach Mancini believed that Balotelli’s behavior was not as serious as the red card and appealed the red card penalty to the FA. However, the FA still insisted on the original decision of suspending three games.”

At today’s hearing, we unanimously felt that Balotelli’s punishment was not excessive, and the three-match ban took effect immediately.”

The failure of the appeal also means that Balotelli, who has just regained his feeling, will definitely miss his first Manchester derby after moving to Manchester City, and will also miss the subsequent games against Birmingham and Fulham. Although Manchester City lacks the demon child Jean

The game was a bit dull, but the duel between Tevez and his old team still made the game exciting and worth looking forward to.

In addition, Arsenal's appeal against defender Koscielny's red card was also rejected and he will still be suspended for two games.

One important point that Mancini has never mentioned is that Manchester United's killer No. 9 Li Yu may be the key to the outcome of the game.

The same goes for Ferguson. The two of them may know it in their minds. It doesn't matter if they talk about each other. Needless to say, the core and key figures will be revealed on the field.

Where is the key figure Li Yu!

At this moment, I really took advantage of the short free time before the competition to have a video chat with Jenny!

The quasi-single men should also spend time with their bride-to-be to relieve the pain of lovesickness on the coming Singles' Day.

Of course, before a battle, a great warrior needs the instructions of a beautiful woman!

"My dear, you can definitely score a goal!"

With Jenny's instructions, Li Yumei went to the competition gathering place.
