Chapter 554： Derby! Derby!

It is Ferguson's meaning to let Chu Ge continue as captain.

This is not a birthday gift for Chu Ge.

It just happened.

Just in time for Chu Ge's birthday, Derby's captain is like the team's birthday present for Chu Ge.

For specific reasons, the Manchester United players understood it after a moment.

Rooney is the team's chief captain, but he has come back from injury and his condition and physical fitness are not the best. The possibility of starting the game is not very likely. Carrick is also unlikely to start, while players such as Smalling are still recovering.

This situation is similar to the last game.

Chu Ge became the captain of the team again, and naturally became a matter of reason.

but.

The situation is slightly different from the last game.

In the derby battle against Manchester City, Valencia should have time to come back.

Generally speaking, when the elders of other teams can't start and Valencia can start, Manchester United's captain's armband is worn on the arm of the 30-year-old Ecuadorian uncle.

The coach chose Chu Ge instead of Valencia, which is self-evident.

Many Manchester United players are thoughtful.

...

Soon after.

After announcing the big roster against the Manchester City Derby, Ferran announced the end of training.

Chu Ge took the initiative to stay.

As usual, he started the free kick.

As the teammates left, Carrington's training ground became empty. Chu Ge set up the football and looked at the goal behind the wall of the props.

"Already 90%."

He glanced at the system.

It may be really talented, or it may be the right idea. Chu Ge's practice of free kick is very fast. At this rate, it will not take long before he can increase the "free kick" to 100%.

Chu Ge is curious about what new changes will happen when the "free kick" reaches 100%.

Two-step approach.

With a hard push on the left foot, the football flew quickly in the direction of the shoe with a spin.

Soon, the football bypassed the wall and directly scored in the upper left corner of the goal.

"This arc is so beautiful."

Ferguson looked at Chu Ge's free kick and sighed.

Next to him, Giggs in a black suit nodded and agreed.

"His curveball skills are becoming more and more adept." Giggs sighed with emotion.

And this time.

After finishing the penalty, Chu Ge stood in place. He shook his head, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with the free throw just now.

He did not rush to continue the free throw, but stood there thinking for a while.

After about a minute or so, Chu Ge started another free throw.

This time, he made a slight adjustment while playing football, and the swing of his ankle changed slightly. As a result, after the football was sent off, it was blocked by the wall.

Hit the head of the "player" on the far left side of the prop wall.

Chu Ge shook his head before penalizing football directly. And this time the free kick was blocked, he nodded instead, it seems that he can't score but the result he wants.

This made Ferguson and Giggs somewhat surprised.

They continued to observe Chu Ge's free kick practice for a while. As a result, the two found an interesting phenomenon,

Chu Ge is not satisfied with any free kick that bypasses the prop wall. Instead, it was those free kicks that hit the wall. He would nod instead.

"He seems to be looking for a wall intentionally?" Giggs was puzzled.

Ferguson nodded. "To be precise, it's looking for people on both sides of the wall."

"This ..." Giggs scratched his head, and said incredulously: "It's good to have a free kick over the wall. It's not necessary to find the side of the wall to kick. Isn't it necessary? And, where do you want to refer to where , That's too difficult. "

Giggs is also a master of free kick when he plays.

His free kick technique is very good.

But even Giggs, he can't play free kicks wherever he goes.

In fact, not only Giggs can do it, but most of the master positioners can't.

If a player takes a free kick and wants to kick the football wherever he wants, then he is very close to the goal. It is not even an exaggeration to say that it is basically the level of 10 out of 9.

"If it's someone else, it's too difficult. But if it's Chu ..." Ferguson shrugged and smiled. "Maybe there are some possibilities. This kid can always accomplish some incredible things."

"Haha!" Giggs laughed. "You always have confidence in him. However, I don't believe anyone can do that."

Speaking room.

Chu Ge kicked the ball precisely on the far right corner of the wall, and a "bang" sounded crisply.

"Look, isn't this wherever you want to fight?" Ferguson laughed proudly.

Giggs was speechless.

"It's luck, okay. There are more kicks, and there will always be a few close to the goal." He refused.

...

About five hours before the Derby start, Sun Jihai walked into the Sky Sports studio.

After leaving the Premier League, the well-known Chinese player, who has been in the Premier League for many years, has basically not received a program announcement from the English TV media.

And before this Premier League focus war is about to begin, Sun Jihai received a kind invitation from Sky Sports to participate in this Manchester City Derby TV recording.

In order to invite Sun Jihai, the program team not only reimbursed him for the travel expenses, but also paid a lot of money.

As soon as he walked into the studio, Sun Jihai saw a huge poster on the electronic screen on the background wall.

The sky blue is on the left and fiery red on the right.

The sky blue on the left is Manchester City's color, and the right side belongs to the Red Devils Manchester United.

The most striking position of the poster is the two star players.

Left Aguero, right Chu Ge.

Both of them are rich in spirits like jade, with a strong spirit and strong momentum, and both eyes have a steadfast determination.

Sun Jihai saw Chu Ge at a glance.

In the red dress, the handsome face is unforgettable.

Under the two top stars, Chu Ge and Aguero, there is a line of letters in bold red and blue fonts.

"Super dialogue, the war between red and blue!-What color does Manchester belong to?"

Sun Jihai looked at Chu Ge's photos, then Aguero, and his heart was filled with pride.

"In terms of strength, we can't compare China with Argentina. However, Chu Ge is no less than Aguero's top star! In our country, we can actually produce a talented star like Chu Ge. He not only joined The top tycoons in England like Manchester United have also become the top cards of Manchester United in the eyes of the English media. All this is like a dream like a dream! It is incredible, so proud! "

Sun Jihai knew it clearly.

The reason why he was able to get the invitation of Sky Sports in England today is because of Chu Ge, because of his outstanding compatriot.

In the era of players, Sun Jihai played for Manchester City for a long time, and also wrote the history of this team, is one of the outstanding players in Manchester City history.

However, this is not the reason why Sky Sports invited him.

The British are not only attracted to Sun Jihai's Manchester City status, but more importantly, like Chu Ge, they are all from China.

Also from China, where football is not well developed, they also broke their own world in the Premier League. One is Manchester City ’s old hero, and the other is Manchester City ’s opponent, Manchester United. It is one of Manchester United ’s current stars.

Now that the Manchester Derby competition is approaching, there will be many topics to invite Sun Jihai to chat in the studio.

This is the real reason why Sky Sports invited Sun Jihai.

Sun Jihai knew this.

He was quite emotional.

...

Over time, several other guests, as well as host Reinkel came to the scene one after another.

There were two meritorious players from Manchester United, namely old captain Gary Neville and "Ginger Head" Scholes.

Similarly, there are two Manchester City veterans.

One of them is very familiar with Sun Jihai, that is Wright Jr., Wright Phillips.

The two were once teammates.

Even a direct competitor for a while.

They compete for the team's main full-back position.

Later, Sun Jihai gradually stabilized the main force, while Wright Jr. transformed into a wing forward and even a winger.

Although the two have a positional competition, their private relationship is very good. Wright Jr. saw Sun Jihai appearing on the scene this time and immediately greeted him happily.

In addition to Wright Jr., another former Manchester City player is a Brazilian, Robinho.

Robinho is not familiar with Sun Jihai.

In 2008, when Sun Jihai left Manchester City with a record of 150 English league appearances, "Bicycle Junior" Robinho had just transferred from Real Madrid, and he was ambitious at the price of the 42 million euro record for the Premier League transfer Join Manchester City.

The two had no intersection in Manchester City.

Instead, Wright Jr. also happened to return to Manchester City that year and was a teammate with Robinho for a while.

The distinguished guests were in place and greeted each other.

Due to Chu Ge's relationship, Gary Neville and Scholes were very enthusiastic about Sun Jihai, a former Manchester City star, and greeted Sun Jihai on his own initiative.

Soon, the show officially began after an English beauty with the ball joined the studio.

At the beginning, it was naturally a preview of the game.

This time Manchester Derby is the 174th derby battle between the two teams. Earlier, Manchester United 72 wins, 51 draws and 50 losses, the advantage is more obvious.

However, Manchester City have performed strongly in recent years, while Manchester United are in a period of reconstruction.

The past clash data does not represent the current level of the two teams.

Reinkel showed a map of England.

On the map, those who support Manchester City's victory are painted blue; those who support Manchester United are red.

Obviously, the area of ​​blue greatly exceeds that of red.

"If England fans are allowed to vote, Manchester United will lose the match." Reinkel teased.

"In fact, Manchester City also has a big advantage in this game." Wright Jr. said.

Everyone nodded.

Neville and Scholes looked at each other with a helpless expression.

"In the first round, Manchester City won. And Guardiola always has the upper hand in the contest with Ferguson." Reinkel smiled.

When it comes to direct dialogue between Guashuai and Ferguson, Sky Sports is particularly "bad".

They cut out this classic picture of Ferguson's "hand shaking" in the live broadcast.

That was the scene when Manchester United and Barcelona met in the Champions League final.

In 2011, at Wembley Stadium, the Barcelona ruled the game. They inserted red and blue flags in Trafalgar Square, and fans sang songs to celebrate the victory.

With Ferguson's trembling fingers, Van der Sar embraced Giggs's whirling tears, telling the spirit of Barcelona in that era, and it was impossible forever.

This is the sweetest memory of Barcelona fans.

That is the most imprint of their team in a cycle.

It was also a moment of great sadness for Manchester United fans.

The Red Devils, who can always explode in the face of adversity, are ultimately unable to block Guardiola's team, bowing down and seeing their opponents ascend to the top.

"They are the best club I have seen in my coaching career."

"There has never been a team that can make us like today without a chance."

"The stronger team won today's victory."

After the game, Ferguson's words showed obvious fatigue.

Wordless and bleak.

Today, the two coaches met again in the game, and people once again recalled the game that year.

Neville and Scholes smiled relatively bitterly again.

They also experienced the game six years ago, they can understand Guardiola's strength than anyone else.

"Hope this time, Manchester United don't have to experience that defeat." Neville prayed in his heart.

Gary Neville did n’t want to experience it again.

"In addition to Ferguson ’s record advantage, Manchester City ’s physical advantage is also obvious. Manchester United also have to distract from the Europa League game, and Manchester City only needs to care about the league. Manchester United have to participate in the supplementary because of the League Cup, while Manchester City Because that game took an extra week of rest. "

"In terms of injury reduction, Manchester City's situation is also significantly better than Manchester United."

"Ibrahimovic, Rojo, Phil Jones, Luke Shaw, Smalling, Mata, these players are the core players of Manchester United. And they will all miss this game due to injury. Among them, Ibrahimovic, Rojo And Luke Shaw are both reimbursed for the season. Pogba, the midfielder, was injured and left the field near the end of the last game. It has also been determined that he cannot participate in this round of Derby. "

"In contrast to Manchester City. Although Aguero and Fernandinho also have some injuries, these two injuries are not serious, and they are both selected to Manchester City's game list. The only thing that can't play is the pre-match The Spanish star David Silva, who was injured during training. Moreover, Manchester City also ushered in Jesus, Sania and Stones, the lineup is basically neat. "

"On one side are core players who have been injured one after another, fighting tiredly; on the other side are waiting for work, the wounded come back one after another. The trade-offs, Manchester City is indeed a more worthy side."

Although Reinkel is a loyal fan of Chu Ge, he still carefully analyzes the pros and cons of the two teams from a professional perspective.

From the current point of view, Manchester City is indeed more optimistic.

Whether it is the team's strength, or the thickness of the lineup, as well as the coach's ability, home battle, they vaguely overwhelmed the Red Devils.

The data is not enough.

Reinkel also took out the markets offered by the bookmakers.

Major European gambling companies are also more optimistic about Manchester City.

"However," Neville glanced at Scholes. "The derby is a derby after all."

"I admit that Manchester United's situation is somewhat like the end of the crossbow, and Manchester City is in good condition and in good condition. But the derby is different from the ordinary game. The derby game can allow players to display 120% of their fighting spirit and 120% of their passion." Vail Road.

"Manchester United has always been a hard-fought team. The more unfavorable the situation, the better it will be able to play. Regardless of the outcome of the game, I believe that the Manchester United boys will do their best to fight for the victory to the end. A moment. "Scholes added.

"Personally, I undoubtedly hope that Manchester City can win. Because she is the team I have played for many years. But ... this round of the game, I may support Manchester United more."

"Because Manchester United are Chu Ge's team."

"In the last round when Ibrahimovic was absent, Chu Ge proved his ability to lead the team in a single core. Today, despite facing the disadvantage of Pogba's absence ~ www.novelhall.com ~, Chu Ge will definitely come up with more For his outstanding performance, take his team and charge towards victory. "

"He is Chu Ge, he is one of the best players in the world football."

"I will always support him."

After a little hesitation, Sun Jihai, like many Chinese fans, chose to stand beside Manchester United.

And this time.

In the picture of the studio, the TV signal of the game scene began to be connected.

The camera shot from high to low, and then looked at the entire stadium in 360 degrees, and the mirror showed the enthusiasm of the fans in Etihad Stadium perfectly.

immediately.

The long-lens picture began to target the players who started from both teams.

Touré, Fernandinho, Canter, Fellaini, Bravo, De Gea, Compagni, Manolas, Sane, Marshall, De Braune, Rashford ... star-studded stars appear one after another in the picture.

The camera stayed on Aguero for a while.

This is Manchester City's best striker.

Forty games this season, A Kun has scored 30 goals. He is enjoying the best season of his career.

At the same time, Aguero is also the player with the most goals scored by Derby in Manchester City in recent years. He played against Manchester United six times and broke De Gea's goal six times, making him a well-deserved derby killer.

In this game, Aguero is undoubtedly the focus of attention.

The camera stayed on the Argentine star for three seconds.

Then.

The camera turns.

A big close-up.

The camera is aimed at Chu Ge!

He wore the captain's armband of Manchester United.

He once again put on the Manchester United captain armband!

Appeared on the stage of the 174th Manchester Derby, in the middle of the Etihad Stadium!
