Chapter 1226

Thanks to the rise of Manchester City, the Manchester derby at the weekend has become the most important event in England and even in Europe.

The media started to publicize a week in advance. It is reasonable to say that it is difficult for other news to take the lead of Manchester derby.

Balotelli is obviously an exception.

On the night before the game, after Balotelli left Gao Xiaodong's home, Gao Xiaodong thought he was going home to rest and prepare for the next day's game, but he didn't expect that he made a big news.

It's a story that makes Manchester derby want to make the headlines.

On the morning of Manchester derby, almost all the media in England reported such an incident. In the early hours of Saturday local time, the police received a fire alarm from a resident in Cheshire, and two fire engines arrived at the scene of the fire. Four firefighters wearing fire masks spent more than half an hour putting out the fire and using large fans to disperse the smoke. According to the fire department, the fire is Manchester City Star Balotelli's mansion, and confirmed that the cause of the fire is Balotelli set off 200 pounds fireworks in the bathroom.

The fire was not big, and it didn't hurt people. Originally, he was not qualified to be on the news, but he set off firecrackers in his bathroom in the early morning, and the Manchester derby will be held six hours later. Balotelli's behavior can be called shocking.

Originally, after Tevez and Mancini had a conflict, Balotelli was city's first choice, but after the bathroom fire, whether Balotelli will play has become unknown.

Manchester United in the morning of the last training, Ferguson and the coaching staff to re-examine the possibility of Balotelli.

At present, Manchester City's four big strikers are Aguero, Tevez, Balotelli and Dzeko. Tevez was originally the most familiar with Manchester United, but he has conflicts with Mancini. Dzeko has just transferred and has not received enough trust from Mancini. Aguero and Balotelli are the most likely starters.

But now Balotelli didn't sleep all night, making such big news again. Ferguson and his coaching staff think that Balotelli is unlikely to start. It is likely that Dzeko and Aguero will start, and Balotelli and Tevez will be substituted.

Gao Xiaodong saw the news, but he believed that the police report should be true, Balotelli can do it.

Gao Xiaodong even regrets that he didn't pay attention to Balotelli. If he left Balotelli yesterday, maybe Balotelli would not have done this kind of brain damage.

Of course, if Balotelli can't play because of this, the threat to Manchester United's back line may be smaller, and Dzeko still can't compare with Balotelli in attack.

However, Gao Xiaodong still hopes that Balotelli can be well, in Gao Xiaodong's heart, Manchester City on Balotelli can not be Manchester United's opponent.

When the players of both sides appeared at Old Trafford, the problem of starting Balotelli was finally confirmed, and Balotelli appeared in the starting lineup.

Manchester City's starting lineup is: 25 Hart, 2 Richards, 4 kompani, 6 Lescott, 22 Clichy, 18 Barry, 42 Yaya Toure, 7 Milner, 16 Aguero, 21 David Silva, 45 Balotelli

Balotelli's starting line-up is also normal, before Manchester United have been taking Balotelli as the main opponent to mark.

The fire last night was just an accident.

To Ferguson's surprise, Yaya Toure replaced de Jong in the starting line-up.

Before that, both the media and the fans thought that Derong, who is good at defending with iron and steel, would start, and Mancini's starting line-up was also Derong's starting line-up, but at the last moment, Yaya Toure replaced Derong.

Although it's just a change of personnel, de Jung is a pure defensive player, while yayature is a player who has both offensive and defensive skills and is better at attacking.

Ferguson has a lot of experience. He thinks that if it is not an accident, then this adjustment may mean a change in Manchester City's tactics.

Ferguson is alert, but he doesn't pay much attention. He thinks that with Gao Xiaodong, an all-round fighter in hand, he can respond to the changes of his opponents at any time.

The starting lineup of Manchester United is: 1-DE GEA, 3-evra, 5-ferdinand, 6-evans, 12 Smalling, 17 Nani, 24 Fletcher, 10 Gao Xiaodong, 11 Giggs, 14 Hernandez and 9-rooney

in this lineup, the veteran over 30 years old are Giggs, Evra and Ferdinand, the young ones are Fletcher, Rooney and Nani, and the young ones are Smalling and Ellen Nandes, Evans and de GEA, Gao Xiaodong is an exception.

It's more reasonable than Manchester City to have such a lineup of all the old, middle-aged and young as well as superstars.

Ferguson and Manchester United don't care about Manchester City, and it's not without foundation. With such a team and decades of repression, it's hard for them to regard Manchester City as their rivals at the same level, even if they have a good performance now.

It's Clara tenberg, England's top guard, who is in charge of today's game.

At 1:30 a.m., after captain Gao Xiaodong and kompani exchanged flags and emblems, kratenberg whistled the start of the game.The first to kick off was Manchester United in red.

Rooney and Hernandez back to Gao Xiaodong after the foot, Gao Xiaodong did not stop, then back to guard Ferdinand.

Manchester City today's fighting spirit is very strong, forward pressure is very positive, Manchester United has just returned to the defensive line, Aguero has caught up with the front of the penalty area.

Ferdinand handed over to Giggs on the left and let him attack from the left.

As a meritorious veteran of Manchester United, Ferdinand is still used to attacking from both wings rather than passing it to Gao Xiaodong to organize the attack from the middle.

Giggs was famous in football more than ten years ago. Even though he was 37 years old, the players of Manchester City still didn't dare to be careless. Before Giggs received the ball, three players surrounded him.

Giggs has a lot of experience and a very high player. Seeing that he is at risk of being blocked, he quickly crosses to Fletcher.

Balotelli is very close to Fletcher, Fletcher dare not control the ball, then passed to Gao Xiaodong.

Manchester City also attaches great importance to Gao Xiaodong's marking without the ball. When Fletcher catches the ball, Milner is close to Gao Xiaodong, and Aguero also comes back to take part in the closing.

In his defensive three areas, Gao Xiaodong didn't dare to be careless. He immediately gave Nani the edge. He moved closer to the side to meet Nani.

City are really fighting today, the players are running very actively, Nani just received the ball, it is three city players around the past.

Just now, when Giggs met with many people's pressing, he chose a safe return pass, but Nani didn't. He saw full back Kristi come up to block, and no one behind him pushed the ball forward, thinking that the ball would pass Kristi.

Clichy played for the first team at the age of 18 and was seen as a successor to Ashley Cole. Nani looked down on him as a local dog.

Since Clichy stepped forward to block, he was ready for the opponent to play behind him. Nani pushed the ball forward, Clichy immediately turned back to catch up with him, and beat Nani to kick the ball to the center back kompani.
