Despite the fierce commotion outside and loud protests from fans, Manchester United never dealt with Rooney.
Rooney must have notified Manchester United of his birthday party. This reason is also legitimate. Otherwise, he would not have booked the restaurant and bar in advance. However, no one expected that Manchester United would be bloodbathed by their rivals in the same city again at home.
Sometimes that's how it goes.
It's actually quite difficult for Rooney. He finally celebrated his birthday. The restaurant, bar and program were all arranged, and all the guests were invited. But he encountered such a fiasco at this juncture. If he canceled it, he would lose face and suffer losses.
It's not a small thing, and if I don't cancel it, and the media and fans insist on it, I'm in a dilemma.
Manchester United's attitude was to treat it coldly, neither punishing nor making any noise.
In fact, Ferguson himself is also in difficulty.
After the game, some media photographed him going for a drink with the coaching staff. It was about to be his 25th anniversary as coach of Manchester United. At this time, facing such a disastrous defeat, Ferguson was also quite depressed.
Of course, the fans are right too.
I bought a ticket to watch the game and usually support the team and the players. Now that you have lost so badly, who can I blame you for not scolding you?
You, Rooney, have such a high salary, and the team spent so much money to keep you, and now you can't lead the team to win, then you will naturally have to bear the responsibility and be scolded as a matter of course.
To some extent, at least half of your high salary is the cost of being scolded.
On the third day after the Manchester City derby, someone finally stepped forward to save Manchester United and Rooney.
FIFA has announced the 50-man roster for the 2011 FIFA Ballon d'Or. Whether it is England or Manchester United, there is only one player shortlisted, and that is Rooney.
As the only remaining star player, it is not difficult to see the current decline of England and Manchester United from Rooney.
There is another football powerhouse that has only one person shortlisted for the 50-man squad, and that is Italy. Only Udinese forward Di Natale was selected, and even Pirlo and others were not shortlisted. This can also show the weakness of Italian football.
.
In terms of clubs, Barcelona, which has just won the Champions League, is undoubtedly the biggest winner, with a total of nine players shortlisted, followed by Bayern Munich with seven players selected, and Real Madrid also has five players shortlisted.
Manchester City is the team with the most nominations in the Premier League. Needless to say Su Dong, David Silva, Sanchez and Aguero have all been nominated.
From the current point of view, the one with the best chance of winning the FIFA Ballon d'Or should be Barcelona's Messi.
As soon as the candidate list came out, the British media and fans' criticism of Rooney weakened significantly.
There is no way, who makes me the only one in England and Manchester United?

The League Cup has reached the fourth round, and it is basically a strong dialogue. Even the English Championship teams, they are all English Championship teams like Southampton and Cardiff.
Manchester City will challenge Wolves away from home this time.
This team narrowly avoided relegation last season and is still on the verge of relegation this season.
Guardiola used rotation and substitute lineups, obviously focusing on training.
Joe Hart finally ushered in the goalkeeper position again, and Dzeko became the center forward.
After the opening, Manchester City controlled the ball as always, and continued to put pressure on the home team, taking turns to create opportunities in the frontcourt. However, in the 18th minute, a quick counterattack from Wolves directly hit Manchester City's right wing.
Behind Ripier, he passed the ball into the penalty area.
There was a leak in the Manchester City penalty area, and the opponent's player grabbed the first shot. He stopped the ball and gave it to his teammate who stepped in from behind. He scored in one stroke near the penalty spot and opened the scoring for Wolves.
This goal actually had little to do with Joe Hart. After all, the opponent seized the opportunity and kicked it near the penalty spot. There is really no way to say that he conceded the goal. But the problem is that the England goalkeeper was really unlucky.
So far this season, he has conceded goals every time he appears on the court. Is this his problem? Or is it the team's problem?
After conceding a goal, attacking several times, and missing several opportunities, Manchester City finally got a goal back in the 36th minute.
Trippier's cross from the right was passed back by Dzeko, and Moutinho pushed forward and scored, equalizing the score for Manchester City.
Just two minutes later, Moutinho sent a through ball from the front of the penalty area, tearing apart the Wolves defense and assisting youngster Sterling to score a goal.
A minute later, it was Moutinho's cross that caused a melee in the Wolves penalty area and created an opportunity for Dzeko. The Bosnia and Herzegovina center volleyed and expanded the score to 3-1.
Although it was a three-to-one lead, Dzeko missed at least two must-goal opportunities in the first half.
In the second half, Dzeko changed sides and then fought again. First, Dzeko pulled a pass from the side and Douglas Costa scored. Then the Brazilian winger passed the ball and assisted Dzeko to score another victory. Manchester City sealed the victory at 5-1.
But just when Manchester City scored their fifth goal and were feeling complacent and felt that the team was sure of victory, Wolves made a quick counterattack from the left, passed the ball from the left into the penalty area, and then passed the ball low to the goal.
Before, forward O'Hara, who had just come on as a substitute, scored a goal.
Two to five!
After that, no matter how Manchester City attacked, they were unable to break through the Wolves goal again.
In the end, with Dzeko's brace, Manchester City defeated Wolves 5-2 in an away game and successfully advanced to the next round.
…
Manchester City won and advanced to the quarter-finals, but Joe Hart lost.
The unlucky England national goalkeeper finally got a chance to play. Even though it was only in the League Cup, it was enough for him to cherish, especially when Courtois's performance became more and more stable and his position became more and more solid.
.
But who would have thought that he lost two more goals.
This time even the British media couldn't help but complain, why is Joe Hart so unlucky?
Is it a problem with his strength? Or is it due to other reasons?
In addition to Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea have also reached the quarterfinals, and the other three teams are Blackburn, Cardiff and Crystal Palace.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a round of draws, Manchester City drew Arsenal, and the game was arranged as an away game.
Chelsea will face Liverpool at home.

Sometimes, I have to admire Ferguson's ability.
Maybe the method is a bit simple and crude, but the effect is really good.
After a disastrous defeat, he became furious and shocked all the players in the team, and ordered Vidic to retire from the national team. As a result, the Manchester United locker room got out of the shadow of the disastrous defeat and defeated its opponent 3-0 in the subsequent League Cup.
, successfully promoted.
In the subsequent tenth round of the Premier League, Manchester United defeated Everton 1-0 away from home.
It was Hernandez who scored the winning goal, but the best performance in the game was Manchester United's two central defenders, Vidic and Phil Jones. The two central defenders performed well throughout the game.
Who would have thought that after being severely punished by Ferguson, Manchester United's performance would actually improve, especially Vidic's.
This also makes people admire Ferguson's skill in controlling the team.
If nothing else, without Ferguson's lofty prestige, whoever played this game would have died miserably.
Just like Chelsea, another strong team.
Coach Villas-Boas was brought in by Abramovich with high hopes, and he paid a record termination fee for him. He asked for money and people, and it can be said that he gave him a lot of support.
This young Portuguese coach seems to have quite the style of Mourinho. As soon as he took office, he made drastic changes to rejuvenate the team. He wanted to mobilize a group of old players in the team, including Drogba, Lampard and Terry.
A group of veterans won them all.
Among them, Drogba was the worst. He was directly excluded from the squad. Lampard and Terry were also frequently substituted. This made the three meritorious veterans very dissatisfied. In the one-to-three loss to Manchester United, Bo
Asi even replaced Lampard directly at halftime, which led Lampard to directly attack Villas-Boas after the game, thinking that he was shirking responsibility.
But Villas-Boas just didn't have Mourinho's toughness. After irritating these veterans, he began to be a little timid, so a group of veterans such as Drogba, Lampard and Terry returned to the lineup.
, the head coach’s prestige is completely gone, and people in the locker room are also panicking.
Everyone knows that Villas-Boas wants to win over this group of veterans, but now Chelsea needs to rely on these veterans. The deadlock is that Villas-Boas has called for rejuvenation and abandoning this group of veterans since the beginning of the season.
Veteran, the conflict between the two sides has become irresolvable, so Chelsea is now very unstable internally.
Villas-Boas is not qualified enough to solve Chelsea's current problems.
In the tenth round of the league, Chelsea faced Arsenal at Stamford Bridge. Logically speaking, they should have a good chance of winning. However, after taking the lead twice, Arsenal equalized the score twice, and then relied on Robin van Persie and Volko.
Special, reversed Chelsea 5-3 and severely humiliated Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Especially in the 85th minute, Malouda's return pass was too strong, causing Terry to have to compete with Van Persie for speed. As a result, he was left behind by the Dutch and scored with a single shot, changing the score from 3 to 3 to 3 to 3.
Four.
Terry was so angry that he swore at Malouda, who made a mistake in returning the pass, and cursed the civilized and harmonious slogan. The two almost started fighting on the court, which showed that the current atmosphere in Chelsea's locker room is quite bad.
of.
Everyone can see that with the current situation this season, Chelsea is not even able to keep the top four in the league, let alone the championship. Many people even doubt that Villas-Boas will not be able to survive the winter break.
Expect.
Comparing Villas-Boas and looking at Ferguson, I have to admire: Older people are still hotter!
…
Compared to Chelsea, Manchester City continues to play steadily.
Guardiola's team welcomed their League Cup opponent Wolves over the weekend, but what is different from midweek is that this time Manchester City used their main lineup to face Wolves at home. In the first half, they relied on Su Dong's
Scored twice and took a 3-0 lead.
After changing sides in the second half, Aguero scored another victory for Manchester City, helping the team defeat Wolves 4-0.
With ten consecutive league wins, Manchester City leads the standings, a full seven points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
The outstanding results have also, in turn, made the atmosphere inside the Manchester City locker room better.
But as the captain of the team, Su Dong still felt a sense of disharmony.
