As the Manchester derby is approaching, Manchester United will naturally retain their strength in the mid-week UEFA Champions League final match.

Even at home, Ferguson has hardly sent any major players.

Nani, Welbeck, Anderson, Cleverly, these regular rotations and substitute players provoked the backbone.

Young players such as Januzhai, Lingard, Butner, and Michael Keane have got precious opportunities to play in the Champions League.

When the match day arrived, Tang Hong hosted Shinji Kagawa at home in the evening. After dinner, Marguerite came to enjoy the swimming pool with Chen Manhong and Sun Rou.

Tang Hong and Kagawa Shinji naturally feasted their eyes on the three swimsuit girls, and then they watched Manchester United's Champions League match against Cluj at home in the living room.

After the start of the game, Manchester United's impact at home is still in line with their traditional style and Red Devils temperament, but the players' personal performance is obviously uneven, so the overall offensive and defensive efficiency of the team is not high.

Shinji Kagawa asked Tang Hong: "Which young player do you think can become a super player in the future?"

Tang Hong shook his head when he heard this and said: "I can't tell, because in terms of age, these players on the field are now over the age to skyrocket.

If Ronaldo's success in 2008 can prove that his blockbuster when he debuted is talented, then Messi's performance close to the peak from his debut has completely improved the outside world's judgment of the player's potential.

Twenty years ago, a 21-year-old and 22-year-old player would be considered a genius if he could perform well in the top courts.

But today, if a player can't continue to have high performance before the age of 21, he is not worthy of being a genius.

Look at the young people of Manchester United. Lingard is 20 years old, Welbeck 22 years old, and Cleverly 23 years old. Even Fleet Street, which likes to tout local players, will not label them genius.

If I were them, I would not stay at Manchester United. "

It took a while for Shinji Kagawa to digest what Tang Hong said, and then smiled: "Speaking of genius, why are you not?"

Tang Hong smiled.

When the picture of Manchester United losing the ball at home reappeared, Tang Hong and Shinji Kagawa smiled bitterly at each other.

Not surprisingly, when a team like Manchester United that advocating offense does not have enough strength to control the game, it is reasonable for the defense to lose the ball.

In the end, Manchester United failed to get back the score. There were only two screens in the tough battle. Either a pass or Nani did it alone, completely without threat.

At the end of the game, Manchester United 0:1 Cluj.

In another game, Galatasaray defeated Braga away from home. With the same score as Cluj, he took the second place in the group with the advantage of the match score and joined Manchester United to advance to the top 16 of the Champions League!

Shinji Kagawa left with his happy girlfriend, and Tang Hong also took a rest early, striving to meet the weekend Manchester Derby in the best condition!

The passion of the derby is largely due to the community where the club has roots.

In many of the world's derby games, there is actually not much confrontation and hostility, because the club has not taken root and affected the surrounding communities.

Like in Manchester, the number of fans supporting Manchester City is much higher than Manchester United.

Locals will say that Manchester City is the representative of Manchester, and Manchester United, they belong to the world!

The supporters of Manchester City are more local blue-collar workers, and the class covers a wider range of people!

The development of Manchester United will inevitably make them more international and gradually separate from the local community.

Just as Real Madrid was established in Madrid's earliest financial district, the class of supporters was the middle class and nobles from the beginning, and the hostility between Barcelona and Real Madrid was behind the ethnic contradictions and political differences.

When these hostile factors exist, the derby is worthy of its name. It is simply because the two teams are in the same city and think that they must never die. That is absolutely impossible.

Manchester City has relied on the rise of the gold dollar football to challenge Manchester United's status over the years. This has made the confrontation between the two more intense. And when Manchester City hadn't taken the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester United simply didn't bother to look at this with a straight eye. neighbor.

Last season, Aguero's countdown lore brought Manchester City's first Premier League title to the world. After Chelsea won the Premier League title for the first time in 2005, a new champion was born in England after 7 years.

Manchester United's revival this season is to regain the mountains and rivers!

In the just-concluded UEFA Champions League group stage, Manchester City played in the UEFA Champions League as a Premier League champion but ended in the group stage. Not to say that it lost the face of the Premier League, and it will definitely make Manchester United fans laugh!

Mancini had an infighting with Tevez when he led the team in the Champions League last season. This year, the Champions League once again lost ground in the group stage. Even though Manchester City remained unbeaten in the league, they could fall behind to Manchester United. A gap of 7 points is enough to make Manchester City perilous.

This time against Manchester United at home, Manchester City is eager to narrow the points gap with Manchester United at home, and Mancini will also try to keep his handsome position.

When Manchester City has tasted the taste of the Premier League championship, the club will certainly not stop. The next step is of course to make a difference in the European arena. Obviously, Mannich is not trustworthy on this point.

Ferguson made a serious mockery of Manchester City before the game.

"Man City's Champions League exit is a good thing for them, it will put a lot of pressure on Manchester United, because they can concentrate on playing the league."

When the match day came, the police force outside the Etihad Stadium to maintain law and order increased significantly, separating the two teams of fans as much as possible to avoid conflict.

Extreme fans still exist in the UK, especially the country’s notorious football hooligans.

On a rare sunny afternoon, Manchester City and Manchester United met in Etihad.

When the starting players of the two teams entered the field in line, the whole stadium shook in all directions.

Tang Hong is full of energy today, and he looks particularly energetic.

The coaches of the two teams were on the sidelines to supervise the battle and dare not slack in the slightest.

The significance of this game is by no means as simple as the first battle. The victory or defeat will have a very large impact on the morale of the army in the future.

"Good afternoon, friends and spectators, welcome everyone to follow the camera to the Manchester Etihad Stadium. Defending champion Manchester City welcomes the challenge of rival Manchester United at home!

The Premier League has played 15 rounds in the new season. Manchester City ranked second in the league with 9 wins, 6 draws and 33 points undefeated. Manchester United ranked first with a record of 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and 40 points!

Obviously, Manchester City lags behind Manchester United by as much as 7 points because they have too many draws!

As the defending champions, they have to fight tough battles in many games, but they can only end in a draw. If Manchester City want to distract the Champions League is the main reason for their loss of points in the league, the problem is that Manchester United also play the Champions League, Manchester United two early The round was promoted to the round of 16, while Manchester City was directly out of the group.

If you have to find a fig leaf for Manchester City, you can only say that their signing is too back. In a group with Dortmund and Real Madrid, it is really difficult for them to get a top 16 ticket.

But maybe Ferguson is right, Manchester City can concentrate on playing the league and see how they perform today!

As Van Persie missed due to injury, Ferguson topped Rooney in the front line today, but we all know that Manchester United's biggest threat comes from their left forward Tang Hong!

Whether the Chinese forward who is now on the scorer list desperate the chaser behind him will become a key figure in the game today depends on how Manchester City do on the defensive end. "

With the cheering of the fans, the game officially kicked off.

Manchester City launched a fast break after the opening, Silva organized the offensive front and sent the ball to the left.

Nasri cut the ball in front of Raphael but was stabbed by the latter. Ferdinand quickly stepped forward to block Balotelli and then passed the ball straight ahead.

Carrick and Cleverly hit the wall and then crossed the ball diagonally to the left.

Tang Hong immediately moved the ball back to the ball when he touched the ball, and Barry Gang shifted his weight in front of him, but Tang Hong suddenly pulled the ball forward and started to push the ball quickly.

After getting rid of Barry in an instant, Tang Hong's soaring speed made him look very excited, and he entered the game state very quickly!

When Sabaletta intercepted him head-on, Tang Hong decisively collided with Shinji Kagawa who ran to meet him.

After the ball, he rushed past Sabaletta and cut in to receive the pass of Kagawa Shinji. After two steps, Tang Hong reached the penalty area of ​​Manchester City!

Manchester City captain Kompany rushed to intercept and lowered the center of gravity. Tang Hong made a move and gave Rooney forward in the middle. He did half of the action but turned to the baseline steering wheel.

Kompany hesitated a bit, but he immediately turned to follow Tang Hong. When Tang Hong hopped the ball and then changed to a crosscut, Kompany took a risk and shoveled the ball out of the baseline quickly!

Tang Hong exhaled and glanced at Kompany who was yelling at his midfielder teammate. The opponent is indeed stronger in one-on-one defense!

Speaking of the top central defender in the Premier League, Kompany is definitely now in the top three, and even if he plays well, he is the strongest central defender in the Premier League!

All the other big team’s central defenders, even Manchester United, Chelsea’s Cahill, Louis, Arsenal’s Vermaelen, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Liverpool’s Agger, Scotter, After all, Kompany has the strongest overall strength!

Just now from the start, he realized that Barry’s main task today is to help defend the sidelines to limit him. Coupled with Kompany, Tang Hong faces a lot of defensive pressure today!

But this made him even more excited!
