It was already seventeen thirty, but in the Middle East, the scorching sun slanting west was still burning everything on the surface.
There are still few pedestrians on the streets of Abu Dhabi.
It will be a little later, the sun will go down and the temperature will drop, and they will go out one after another.
But Mansour's palace was very lively.
One of the most powerful nobles in the UAE is hosting a special banquet in his palace. The theme is neither a festival nor an anniversary, but a football match being held in Manchester, England.
The world-famous Manchester derby!
The live broadcaster is Al Jazeera in the Middle East, and the commentator is introducing the trend of the game in Arabic.
Whether they know the ball or not, the nobles in the stadium can see the current score of the game on the big screen.
Sixty minutes into the second half, the score was still 0-4.
The own team wearing the blue jersey scored four goals in one breath against the opponent in the red jersey.
Every time he scored a goal, Mansour cheered excitedly.
Everyone knew why he was so happy.
Recently, with the rise of Manchester City's reputation in the Premier League, especially after Gao Shen's coaching, Manchester City has won five consecutive victories in the new season, making Abu Dhabi, the consortium behind the scenes, also famous all over the world.
Just two days ago, the President of the United Arab Emirates called his younger brother, Mansour, into the palace and praised his investment in Manchester City. In particular, he invited the world's top coaches like Gao Shen to coach him. Received compliments on foreign trips.
The UAE President even defined that investing in Manchester City and hiring high-level coaches will help enhance the status and prestige of the UAE and Abu Dhabi in the world.
Mansour was overjoyed and immediately said that he would make persistent efforts to make Manchester City achieve another success.
After returning from the palace, he decided to hold this aristocratic party, inviting relatives and friends to gather together, eat, drink and have fun, and also watch this world-renowned Manchester derby.
What made Mansour even more embarrassed was that Manchester City beat Manchester United madly in this game, beating the Red Devils to no avail, leading to an amazing 4-0 lead in the first half.

Is there anything more shocking than this?
Many of Abu Dhabi's aristocrats studied in the UK, and they are no strangers to the Premier League. Naturally, they know how strong Manchester United is.
They were also very shocked. They didn't expect that after investing in Manchester City for only one year, they would be able to beat Manchester United so badly.
You know, they were humiliated by Manchester United last season.
For a time, the atmosphere at the party became more lively, and almost every time Manchester City attacked, there would be cheers.
Maybe they don't understand the ball, but they know that it is a good thing that the blue side is attacking.
…
"It seems that this Gao Shen is really a rare talent!"
Sitting next to Mansour, UAE Defense Minister Sultan Jaber praised with a smile.
He is also one of the real power leaders in the UAE and holds many positions at the same time.
"It is indeed a talent, the key is still very young, very thoughtful, I like him very much." Mansour has only met Gao Shen twice, but every time he met, he left a very deep impression on him.
"I think he is not just a head coach, but also a link between us and China, a window for China to see us, you know, there is the fastest growing and fastest growing force in the world right now. nation."
Sultan Jaber nodded, "China's future really deserves our attention."
"I heard that they are also interested in our crude oil pipeline project?" Mansour asked.
He is the chairman of the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Investment Company, and the defense minister in front of him is the chief executive of the company that controls Abu Dhabi's huge wealth.
"Yes, but we are still a little worried, because so far, Chinese companies have only undertaken our offshore oil and gas field projects in the Middle East, contracted in 2003, started in 2006, and completed in 2008. This is their entry into the Middle East. The first project, but the investment is only more than 100 million US dollars.”
After a pause, Sultan Jaber reminded: "But this time our crude oil pipeline project has invested more than three billion US dollars."
"When I first met Gao Shen, he told me that his motherland is an infrastructure maniac." When he mentioned this nickname, Mansour couldn't help laughing. It was a very special nickname.
"Give them a fair chance to bid, I believe in a profound vision."
Sultan Jaber hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"I have already made arrangements. Next, we plan to carry out more cooperation with Chinese oil giants in the Middle East. This is beneficial to both us and China. The first is the oilfield project in Oman, and then we also We will actively invest in China.”
"Is this a bit radical?" Sultan Jaber frowned.
"Come on when you see it." Mansur smiled again, "Gao Shen said that in China, there are 1.4 billion people who are working hard. They don't think about anything else, they just want to improve their families. A better life, but the change of one family will lead to the change of the city, and the change of each city will lead to the change of the whole country.”
"He said that in 2010, China's gdp will surpass Japan's, and in the future, China will continue to approach the United States, and even surpass the United States in industrial capacity, and China will become the most powerful industrial overlord in the world. Can you imagine that picture?"
Sultan Jaber shook his head blankly, he really couldn't imagine it.
Because in his country, there are not so many people at all.
"Me too, but I believe in Gao Shen, just like this game tonight, he never disappoints!" Mansour laughed.
Turning to China in the oil industry and investment was proposed by Mansour when he was giving a report at the palace a few days ago. His brother believed in his vision very much, and he also believed in a profound vision.
Gao Shen is an incredible person!
It was at this moment that the narrator of Al Jazeera let out a heart-piercing exclamation.
…
Ferguson was replaced by Park Ji-sung and Berbatov at halftime.
Rooney returned to the mid lane.
Ferguson used Park Ji-sung to play on the right, obviously to imprison Gareth Bale on the left.
But this didn't have a significant effect.
Manchester City are still constantly creating opportunities, making Manchester United's situation very embarrassing.
So, in the 60th minute, Ferguson made the second substitution of the game, replacing Giggs with Anderson.
Sneijder was pushed to the left flank, Anderson and Fletcher played in the middle, and Manchester United's formation became a bit of a four-five-one.
This indeed caused the game scene to fall into a stalemate, but it only lasted for about ten minutes.
In the 72nd minute, Gareth Bell reappeared in the Manchester United half, on the left near the midline, and received a pass from David Silva.
After seeing the Welshman stop the ball with his left foot, he made a gesture to cut in the inside line. He tricked Park Ji-sung to block it, but suddenly dunked the ball to the left line. Before Park Ji-sung was in place, he kicked the ball to the front. After rushing out of bounds and avoiding Park Zhixing, he forcibly overtook the car from the bounds, catching up with the ball he kicked just now like lightning.
In an instant, the whole Old Trafford exclaimed.
"The ball has been divided!"
"Bell passed the ball to himself a few seconds later!"
"His speed is too fast!"
After catching up with the football, Bell continued to lead the hurricane forward, leaving Park Ji-sung firmly behind him, and in an instant he came to the left corner of Manchester United's penalty area, approaching O'Shea.
After the speed got up, after Bell got close to O'Shea, he directly kicked the ball to the bottom line again. He accelerated again and forcibly passed O'Shea.
Simple! direct! rough! Even cruel!
"Wow, it's another one-man ball!"
"My God, Bell passed O'Shea..."
The Welshman rushed to the bottom line, caught up with the football, made a low pass and sent the ball to the small penalty area.
Just saw Suarez shrewdly stick his head out between Ferdinand and Vidic, jumped ahead of them, and sent the ball into Manchester United's goal.
"goallllllllllllllllllll!
!
!
"
"Fifth goal!"
"Manchester City is crazy!"
"My God, this is the fifth goal tonight!"
"Manchester United's right flank, Park Ji-sung and O'Shea, can't stop Gareth Bale at all."
"The Welshman's speed is too fast. Once he gets up, it's simply unreasonable!"
"Five to zero!"
"Ferguson must now take a good look at his tactics and line-up. Manchester United really lost a crushing defeat at their home tonight, especially against Gareth Bale's defense, Manchester United couldn't defend at all! "
…
Three minutes later, Manchester United's attack reached the front of Manchester City's penalty area.
Sneijder sent a straight pass to find Rooney, but as soon as Rooney got the ball, he was blocked by David Luiz from behind.
The tall and long-legged Brazilian central defender took the lead to smash the ball away, and used his body to push Rooney away. He quickly stepped forward and dribbled the ball forward.
Before he got out of the 30-meter zone, David Luiz took the lead and passed the ball directly to the feet of David Silva in front.
The Spanish midfielder was closely guarded by Fletcher. After finally stopping the ball, he turned around halfway through. When com lost his balance, he kicked the ball to the left.
I saw Gareth Bale rushing along the left, completely leaving Park Ji-sung behind, grabbing David Silva's pass out of bounds, kicking the ball to the front, and dribbling the ball all the way. Fei Mengjin, relying on the speed, forcibly passed O'Shea, and the low ball was passed to the goal.
Suarez plugged in at a high speed, swayed Ferdinand and Vidic, and caught up with Gareth Bale's cross. Once again, the Welshman's cross was sent to the bottom of Manchester United's goal net.
Six to zero!
"goalllllllllllllllllllllll!
!
!
"
Suarez rushed out of the court inexplicably excited and rushed straight to Gareth Bale. The two hugged tightly on the sidelines and frantically celebrated the goal and victory.
"hat trick!
! "
"Suarez calmly seized the opportunity, scored two goals in three minutes and scored a hat-trick!"
"This is the Uruguayan striker's tenth Premier League goal this season!"
"Manchester City's offensive is like a wave, unstoppable!"
