Derby is always one of the most important games in football.
in Manchester, winning the championship doesn't have to be praised every day, but losing the Derby means walking on the street every day and being laughed at at at any time.
When the rich in the Middle East didn't buy Manchester City, it was not easy for Manchester United to play Manchester City. After the Abu Dhabi consortium took over blue moon, Manchester City Derby became more popular.
After Abu Dhabi came to Manchester City, he recruited a large number of people and spent a lot of money, which was comparable to that of Roman Abramovich's Chelsea.
However, Manchester City's achievements are not as brilliant as the blues at that time. For two consecutive seasons, Manchester City did not get the Champions League seat, which also affected their recruitment, otherwise their strength might be a little stronger.
Even so, Manchester City is now in third place behind Arsenal and Tottenham, behind Manchester United and Chelsea.
Of course, Manchester City are 12 points ahead of Manchester City. There is little hope for them to win the championship. Their goal in the league is to keep their Champions League place and beat Manchester United.
Manchester City want to win Manchester United, Manchester United also want to double Manchester City, but the two teams strength gap is not big, the first leg in the city stadium, Manchester United rely on Balotelli's own goal to beat Manchester City 2-1.
It's been several months since the last Manchester City Derby. Manchester City have a more tacit understanding and have also introduced forward Dzeko. It's hard to say whether Manchester United can win Manchester City at Old Trafford.
In order to ensure the home win, Ferguson for Manchester City's play targeted training.
Manchester City is in the stage of reconstruction. They buy a lot of people every season, so their tactics are changing all the time. In the last Manchester City Derby, Manchester City's formation was 433, but later Mancini played 4424312, 4231 and 451. Recently, Manchester City's formation is 451, if Manchester United only played according to the last derby To deal with Manchester City, that's a big problem.
Although Mancini is the Italian coach who likes to attack, the defensive factor is still engraved in Mancini's heart. His team still focuses on defense and plays beautiful football on the basis of solid defense.
Last time, Manchester City's three midfielders made Manchester United play very hard. Recently, although Manchester City's 451 formation uses double midfielders, it is still very difficult for Manchester United to break through if there are five midfielders.
Manchester City's attack is mainly launched from the side, Mancini's favorite is the side attack, the middle of the back inserted shot.
However, it is still Ferguson's first choice to tear up Manchester City's defense from the side. Instead of penetrating through the third midfield, Ferguson would rather attack Manchester City on the side.
Manchester City and Manchester United's defensive ability is a little bit more difficult to open the middle than Manchester City's.
Manchester United are training, Ferguson suddenly found the players pointing to the sidelines.
Ferguson was very unhappy and yelled at the players, "focus on me!"
However, after Ferguson roared, the players still looked at the sidelines from time to time. Ferguson was a little surprised. He turned to see that there was an "audience" on the sidelines.
Today's tactical drill is not open to the fans and the media. Ferguson is surprised why people come in to watch it. He finds that the audience is Manchester City striker Balotelli, who is waving to Gao Xiaodong.
Ferguson's brain a little short circuit, Manchester City players even went to the Carrington base to watch Manchester United's training? Although the training bases of the two teams are very close, this kind of thing has never happened.
"How did you come here?"
Ferguson asked Balotelli in surprise.
Balotelli said lazily, "is it a sharp turn of the brain? They came in, of course
Ferguson could not laugh, he said calmly: "today we are closed training, do not welcome to visit."
Balotelli or a look of indifference, "I'm not here to visit, I'm looking for Gao Xiaodong."
Ferguson speechless, looking for Gao Xiaodong at this time, are you cheating? "That's not good, today's closed training, please leave here." Ferguson said sternly.
"It's so easy for me to get in. Why should I leave?" Balotelli shook his head and refused to leave.
Ferguson would like to call the security guard immediately to find out Balotelli. However, although Balotelli has some brain problems, he is also a famous star in the world football world. If he is seen by reporters, it will cause a storm.
Ferguson is also an old man. He immediately came up with the second best way to deal with Balotelli. He called Gao Xiaodong over and said calmly, "Deputy Gao, this man is here for you. You can do it."
When Gao Xiaodong saw Balotelli coming, he was so scared that he wanted to find a crack in the ground. He was worried that the goods were coming for him, but Balotelli still said so.
"Good coach, leave it to me."Gao Xiaodong made a look to Ferguson to solve the problem for the team, but as soon as Ferguson turned around, the guy immediately went to Balotelli with a bitter smile.
"Mario, what are you doing here?" Gao Xiaodong frowned and said to Balotelli.
Balotelli said with a smile: "it's going to be a match soon. I'll come to see you train."
Nima, is this something you can watch? We are just going to compete with you, but this truth can't be explained to Balotelli, and Gao Xiaodong doesn't want to. In his heart, he is still a little moved. It's not easy to have a friend in this foreign country. Even if he has some water in his head, Gao Xiaodong said with a bitter smile, "how did you get in? "
Balotelli said with a smile:" I came in with the trial players. "
Gao Xiaodong is speechless. He is a crook in this respect.
Gao Xiaodong said, "how is our training better than yours?"
Balotelli said: "average level, not as good as Mancio."
Gao Xiaodong pretended to be surprised and said: "true or false, I don't believe it. Sir Alex has been in charge all his life. Can he be inferior to Mancini?"
If Balotelli said that the level is very high, then Gao Xiaodong will be changed to, manjo is also a world-class coach, how poor the level can be.
Balotelli said, "if you don't believe it, go and have a look."
Gao Xiaodong said, "OK, take me to have a look."
Balotelli said, "OK, when will you go?"
Gao Xiaodong said: "go now. There will be competitions tomorrow. If you don't go today, there will be no time."
Balotelli said, "OK, let's go now."
"Let's go."
Gao Xiaodong accompanied Balotelli to walk outside the base.
Seeing that Gao Xiaodong left the base with Balotelli in a few words, Ferguson was stunned and said, "Damn it, this Chinese boy is a ghost. Balotelli can hold. If he can go to Manchester City's training base for a turn, I will make him captain of Manchester United immediately.".
Balotelli can get into Carrington, but Gao Xiaodong has no way to go to the training base next door. He is the winner of the golden ball award, the number one enemy of Manchester City, and also a rare yellow man. The guard of Manchester City recognized him from a long distance and would not let him in. Of course, Gao Xiaodong is not ready to go in at all. The guard won't let him in. Gao Xiaodong takes the opportunity to let Balotelli go back to training He ran back quickly.
Outside the training bases of Manchester City and Manchester United, there are fans waiting for their idols to sign a group photo. Gao Xiaodong's return of Balotelli to the training base of Manchester City was secretly photographed, so the network was busy at night. The fans all tried their best to guess which play the two rivals were singing today, but no one knew that it was just a bad work of Ba Shen Drama.
