The derby is always one of the most important games in football.

In Manchester, winning the title doesn't necessarily mean that people will praise you every day, but losing the derby means walking down the street every day and having people laugh at you all the time.

When the rich in the Middle East did not buy Manchester City, it was not easy for Manchester United to play Manchester City, and after the Abu Dhabi consortium took over the Blue Moon, the Manchester derby became even more popular.

After Abu Dhabi became the owner of Manchester City, he recruited heavily and spent money generously, comparable to Abu Dhabi's Chelsea back then.

However, Manchester City's results have not been as brilliant as the Blues back then, and for two consecutive seasons, Manchester City have not won the Champions League, which has also affected their recruitment, otherwise they may be a little stronger.

Even so, Manchester City is now in third place behind Manchester United and Chelsea, ahead of Arsenal and Tottenham.

Of course, United are on a strong momentum right now, with a 12-point lead over Manchester City, who have little hope of winning the title and are all that remains to secure a Champions League place and beat Manchester United.

Manchester City wants to win Manchester United, Manchester United also wants to beat Manchester City, but the difference in strength between the two teams is not big, the first leg at the City Stadium, Manchester United is with Balotelli's own goal to beat Manchester City 2:1.

Now that it has been several months since the last Manchester derby, Manchester City have run in more tacit and brought in striker Dzeko, and it is hard to say whether Manchester United can win Manchester City at Old Trafford.

In order to guarantee a home win, Ferguson has conducted targeted training on Manchester City's style of play.

Manchester City belongs to the rebuilding stage, every season will buy a lot of people, so their tactical play has been changing, the last Manchester derby Manchester City was still 433 formation, but then Mancini played 442, 4312, 4231 and 451 and other multi-clock formations, in recent times, Manchester City is more of a 451 formation, if Manchester United only based on the last derby play against Manchester City, then it is a big problem.

Although Mancini is the Italian coach who likes to attack, the defensive factor is still engraved in Mancini's heart, and his team is still defense-oriented, playing beautiful football on the basis of solid defense.

Last time, Manchester City's back 3 made Manchester United play very hard, and in recent times, although Manchester City's 451 formation uses double backs, but if there are five people in the midfield, it is still difficult for Manchester United to break through.

City's attacks are mainly from the flanks, with Mancini's favourite attacking from the flanks, with the midfielder inserting shots in the middle.

However, tearing through City's defence from the flanks is still Ferguson's first choice, and Ferguson would rather play against Manchester City on the flanks than penetrate through City's third midfielder with central penetration.

Manchester United's ability to penetrate in the middle is slightly stronger than Manchester City, but it is too difficult for Manchester United's middle to open Manchester City's central defense, so it is better to fight with Manchester City on the side.

While United were training, Alex Ferguson suddenly spotted his players pointing to the sidelines.

Ferguson was upset and yelled at the players, "Give me attention!"

However, after Ferguson roared, the players' eyes still looked at the sidelines from time to time, Ferguson was a little surprised, he turned his head to look, it turned out that there was an extra "audience" on the sidelines.

Today's tactical drill is not open to fans and the media, Ferguson was surprised why someone came in to watch, and when he looked closely, he found that the spectator was actually Manchester City striker Balotelli, who was waving to Gao Xiaodong frequently.

Alex Ferguson's brain was a little short circuited in an instant, and the Manchester City players actually went to Carrington to watch Manchester United train?

"How did you end up here?"

Ferguson asked Balotelli in surprise.

Balotelli lazily said, "Brain teasers, of course you walked in." ”

Ferguson couldn't laugh in annoyance, he said with a calm face: "Today we are training in a closed space, and we are not welcome to visit." ”

Balotelli still looked unconcerned, "I'm not here to visit, I'm here to find Gao Xiaodong." ”

Ferguson was speechless, looking for Gao Xiaodong at this time, are you a dear?" "That's not good, today is closed training, please leave here." Ferguson said with a straight face.

"I came in so easily, why should I leave?" Balotelli shook his head, refusing to leave.

Ferguson couldn't wait to call the security guards to get Balotelli out, but although this Balotelli had a bit of a problem with his brain, he was also a famous star in world football, and if he was seen by reporters, it was estimated that it would cause a storm.

Ferguson is also an old man, he immediately came up with a way to deal with Balotelli, he called Gao Xiaodong over, and said with a calm face: "Deputy Gao, this person said that he came to you, you can watch it." ”

When Gao Xiaodong saw Balotelli coming, he was so frightened that he couldn't find a crack in the ground to get into, he was worried that the goods were coming to him, but he didn't expect Balotelli to say so.

"Okay coach, leave it to me. ”

Gao Xiaodong looked at Ferguson as if he was solving problems for the team, but as soon as Ferguson turned around, the guy immediately walked towards Balotelli with a wry smile.

"Mario, what are you doing here?" Gao Xiaodong said to Balotelli with a frown.

Balotelli smiled and said, "It's almost a game, I'll come and watch you train." ”

Nima, can you watch this casually? We just want to compete with you, but this truth can't be explained to Balotelli, and Gao Xiaodong doesn't want to talk about it, from the heart, he is actually still a little moved, it is not easy to have a friend in this foreign country, even if the brain is a little watery, Gao Xiaodong smiled bitterly, "How did you get in?"

Balotelli smiled and said, "I came in with the players on the tryout. ”

Gao Xiaodong was speechless, this kid is a crooked talent in this regard.

Gao Xiaodong said: "How are we training better than you?"

Balotelli said: "The level is average, not as good as Mancho." ”

Gao Xiaodong pretended to be surprised and said: "True or false, I don't believe it, the lord has been coaching all his life, and his level is not as good as Mancini?"

This is a panacea, if Balotelli says that the level is very high, then Gao Xiaodong will change it, Mancho is also a world-class coach, how bad can the level be.

Balotelli said, "I don't believe you're going to see it." ”

Gao Xiaodong said: "Okay, you take me to have a look." ”

Balotelli said, "Okay, when are you going?"

Gao Xiaodong said: "Go now, tomorrow will be the game, if you don't go today, you won't have time." ”

Balotelli said, "Okay, let's go." ”

"Let's go. ”

Gao Xiaodong accompanied Balotelli to the outside of the base.

Seeing Gao Xiaodong leave the base with Balotelli in a few words, Ferguson was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, damn, this Chinese kid is really a ghost, Balotelli can hold it, if he can really go to Manchester City's training base for a turn, I will immediately let him be the captain of Manchester United.

Balotelli can blend into Carrington, but Gao Xiaodong has no way to go to the training base next door to take a turn, he is the Golden Globe winner, Manchester City's number one enemy, and a rare yellow race, Manchester City's goalkeeper recognized him from afar, of course he won't let him in, Gao Xiaodong of course didn't prepare to go in at all, the doorman didn't let him in, Gao Xiaodong took the opportunity to let Balotelli go back to training, and he quickly ran back.

There are fans outside the training base of Manchester United and Manchester City who are ambushing and preparing to find idols to sign autographs and take photos, Gao Xiaodong sent Balotelli back to Manchester City's training base The situation was secretly filmed, so the Internet was lively at night, and the fans struggled to guess which play this pair of sworn enemies in the same city sang today, but no one knew that this was just a prank by Ba Shen.
