Chapter 669： Manchester Derby

Chapter 669 Manchester Derby

The whole of England is discussing the upcoming Manchester Derby!

In the land of England, not only have countless superstars emerged, many great teams have been born, and the historical grievances between Derby opponents are part of English football culture!

The word Derby comes from England.

One theory is derived from the Derby horse founded by the 12th Earl of Derby in 1780. "Derby" is a small town in Derby, England, where horse races are held in the UK. The horse races produced in Derbyshire are well-known in the British horse racing community. Originally a vocabulary used for horse racing, Hou Lan gradually extended it to a game between two teams in the same city, which is the Derby War. Of course, there is another saying that comes from the annual Shrovetide and the first day of Lent, the football match of Espen Superstars in De Bedale in central England. The match is held on two days from 2 pm to 10 pm, and the whole town is divided into two days. There are two teams. The players are born on the Henmore Brook (Henmore Brook), which flows through the town. The team is called the "Upstream Team" (Up\'Ards) and the other team is the "Downstream Team" (Down\' Ards), the dragon gates are three miles apart, and the ball game is held throughout the town. It is a famous local festival.

In England, there are many very famous derby games, the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, and later due to the poor relationship between Liverpool and Manchester United, people also The game of these two teams with the best results in England is called "England Derby"!

The Manchester Derby is certainly one of the most famous in England's countless derby games.

As with any major rival team, banter between fans of the two teams is commonplace. Manchester United fans often make fun of Manchester City for failing to win important championships for a long time; because Old Trafford Stadium is just outside the Manchester City border, Manchester City fans Said that Manchester United is not from Manchester City at all. Both teams are teams with a long history and outstanding records. Manchester City had a slight advantage in the 1950s and 1970s, but Manchester United reversed the situation after the 1990s. As for Manchester, the support is 50-50, Manchester East. Residents support Manchester City more, and Manchester United fans come from the West and even all over the world.

The confrontation between these two teams has never lacked passion and topics.

On September 20, 2009, Manchester United beat Manchester City 4-3 in stoppage time at home. Rooney opened the scoring for the game. Barry caught Ben Foster's error to equalize the score. Fletcher made Manchester United twice in the 49th and 80th minutes. Leading, but Bellamy equalized twice, and Irving took the pass from Giggs in the 6th minute of stoppage time, bringing the crazy derby to an end. After the game, Ferguson said "this may be the best derby", and then Manchester City coach Mark Hughes said "we are disappointed and we really did our best today."

This game is called the best game of the Premier League in twenty years!

Such a classic game has been staged many times in the city of Manchester. Every red and blue war is a grand event in the city of Manchester!

From the performance point of view, Manchester United is undoubtedly occupying an absolute advantage. They are the team that has won the most top league titles in England, while Manchester City has been missed from the league championship for almost half a century.

Prior to this, Ferguson used to call Manchester City a "noisy neighbor."

This sentence fully confirms Manchester United's disdain for Manchester City.

In their view, Manchester City, which competes with them in the small pool of Manchester, is actually just a small team. They live under the huge shadow of Manchester United, and even if there is no Manchester United, Manchester City's reputation as a team Maybe it will all fall.

But in the past two years, with the capital injection of the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City has begun to rise!

They seem to be copying the road to Chelsea's rise, constantly buying big-name stars, and their results are rising.

Especially last season, their battle with Manchester United for the league championship lasted until the final round of the season. In the end, Manchester United only won the championship with a goal difference!

The noisy neighbor became a powerful nouveau riche.

The Manchester United fans are obviously not able to adapt.

Perhaps it is because the results are getting closer. The combination of Derby's opponents and champions, double hatred, made Manchester completely split into a red and blue lineup.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the direct duel at the Etihad Stadium on December 9th!

...

The atmosphere in Derby has grown stronger as time approaches.

When the day's training was over and Gao Bo took a taxi at the gate of the base, even the Manchester taxis were divided into camps.

Only taxi drivers who belong to the blue camp will come to the City Football Academy.

Glenn is Gao Bo's old acquaintance. He waits for the team's head coach at the door at six o'clock every afternoon.

He planted a blue flag belonging to Manchester City in the front of the car, clearly expressing his position.

When Gao Bo got in the car, the taxi driver, who was over 40 years old, immediately started the car and went to the hotel where Gao Bo lived.

After coming to Manchester for a few months, Gao Bo was still staying in a hotel. He planned to wait for a while when he wasn't so busy, so he would find a house, preferably closer to the City Football Academy. Then he went to buy a car-his car in Spain was given by a sponsor, and he didn't really like it, so when he left Madrid, he gave the car directly to someone...

"Listen to the radio?"

"of course!"

Glenn turned on the radio.

He didn't bother Gao Bo too much He knew that now is the critical time before the game and the coach needs to rest.

During the broadcast, a football broadcast on Sky Radio began.

"We welcome today's guest lineup, which are Gary Neville, Souness, and former Oasis member and Manchester City's diehard Liam Gallagher!!!"

Glenn couldn't help blowing a whistle. This Liam is undoubtedly an absolute loyal to Manchester City. This guy often quarrels with Manchester United fans on Twitter, so now the media also likes to invite him on shows.

Gary Neville is the former captain of Manchester United and has often appeared on various football shows after his retirement.

Today's topic is of course related to Manchester.

The first to speak was Gary Neville. He expressed his attitude from the beginning: "Hello, audience friends, this is Gary Nelvi. Manchester City are in good shape recently, they beat Chelsea. But Guardiola is also taking his Combining the tactical concept and the spirit of Manchester United, I think Manchester United is the most powerful team in the Premier League now! Manchester derby, Manchester United will be more likely to win!"

Then it was Liam’s turn. In the broadcast room, he pouted when Gary Neville spoke. He disagreed with Gary Neville’s statement, but before rebutting, he teased the Manchester United captain. He pointed. Souness said: "I am very happy to be able to sit next to a football legend today... and of course Gary Neville!"

Glenn blew a whistle.

Liam's teasing made all Manchester City fans laugh.

Gao Bo sitting in the back row also smiled.

Before the start of the derby, such a small joke may ease the tension between the two sides.

However, this also shows the weight of this derby battle in the hearts of both fans!
