Completed in 1949, Old Trafford is the most famous football stadium in the UK, it can accommodate 75ooo spectators, and like Wembley Stadium, it is one of the six five-star football stadiums in the United Kingdom that has been certified by UEFA, so it is also known as the "Theatre of Dreams".

Over the decades, the team, nicknamed the "Red Devils", has produced numerous honours and legends, and is a classic of European football clubs. As the home of Manchester United, Old Trafford has also become a mecca in the hearts of many fans.

And at this moment, this holy place in the hearts of countless Manchester United fans is crying, and he has suffered great humiliation.

By this time, the players from both sides had returned to the locker room. The pitch was empty, and the supposedly noisy stands were quiet, and United fans couldn't accept the fact that they were behind their rivals Manchester City at half-time.

Not only was it a 1-4 scoreline, but what made Manchester United fans even more disappointed and angry was that Manchester City played much better than Manchester United throughout the first half.

One commentator's words illustrate the root cause of the anger among Manchester United fans, saying: "For Manchester United, this game can even be described as a disaster, Manchester United in the first half, apart from that direct set-piece goal, they didn't create more chances, sometimes the attack looked threatening, but it was just thunder and rain, but it was Manchester City who played a wonderful counter-attack, their attacking efficiency was amazing!"

"After last season's amazing performances, Manchester City, under the leadership of Yang Fan, have continued to improve this season, they have been more consistent and have started to be more consistent, which is a real strong team, and now, Manchester City are moving in that direction, they are getting stronger and stronger. ”

And Sky TV commentator John. Mortensen also gave his own comments on Yang Fan's performance in the first half of the game at this time, "Although this is a bit numb, I also know that some people are dissatisfied with my praise of Yang Fan, but I still want to say that I continue to praise the Manchester City captain, his performance is so good, he brought Manchester City's attack to life! Manchester City's other players have been driven by him! This is the role of a real superstar! This is the work that a great team leader must undertake and complete." ”

The reporters in the media table are also talking about it, you know, the team that can lead Manchester United 4-1 away at the end of the half, even in the whole European football world, is also counted, even the hottest team in Europe at the moment may not be able to do it easily, this needs to be their form is quite good.

For these people, who are accustomed to playing traditional games on the English and traditional gig4, Manchester City is like a flood beast that suddenly appeared and disrupted the normal order.

During the intermission, many TV viewers were stunned when they watched the scores played on the screen. Some people even feel that their thinking is messy! Yes, God, Manchester United actually let Manchester City play a 1:4 on their home turf? Are you sure it's not April Fool's Day? This score is incredible!

On the network, it has long exploded.

In faraway China, a group of night owls are fighting in their own game world, and at this time, someone shouts "O mother" on the guild channel, Manchester United were slaughtered 4-1 by Manchester City at half-time. The old lady missed a good show.

Most of the gamers in this guild are football fans, and it was only because of tonight's PK with another guild that they had to give up watching the Manchester derby, but at this moment, they first had expressions of disbelief, and then they all screamed and jumped with regret.

Such scenes have appeared in countless corners of the world, and everyone was shocked by the course and outcome of the first half of this Manchester derby.

Manchester City's dressing room.

Compared to the oppressive atmosphere in the Manchester United dressing room, it is much more relaxed. Most people are doing what they are interested in, some are listening to music, some are talking to other people, some are closing their eyes.

Yang Fan was chatting with Silva about something, and both of them suddenly burst out laughing.

The whole Manchester City dressing room was a convivial atmosphere.

Although there are still 45 minutes left to end the game, it is indeed a refreshing thing to be able to trample the high Manchester United under the feet of the score of 4-1.

In short, if the atmosphere in Manchester United's dressing room is oppressive, then Manchester City's side is full of relaxation and laughter.

Robert. Seeing that everyone was almost relaxed and that halftime was approaching, Mancini clapped his hands and signaled that he had something to say.

'We did a good job in the first half, and that's the result...... Lads, I'm so proud of you guys for a great job, you did a great job. ”

'But let's not forget, it's only half the game, we're only halfway done, and there's still the second half. Mancini said he saw some of the players a little careless, obviously four to one up at half-time, which made some players proud, and they might think that United could win easily without breaking a sweat.

Mancini was immediately alarmed, he had to beat the brawlers.

"Is four to one safe?" Mancini asked aloud, "does that make sure we win the game?"

Everyone looked up at the head coach and was a little puzzled, what did the coach say if he couldn't win the game four to one?

Even Yang Fan didn't quite understand what the coach was going to say, although Yang Fan was not a little carried away like some others, but he still had great confidence in winning the game. With a three-goal lead, the goal was won.

"Do you need me to tell you a story called Istanbul Night?" Mancini said coldly.

When everyone heard the famous term Istanbul Night, the expressions on their faces changed.

The so-called Istanbul Night refers to the 2oo42oo5 UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul, Turkey on May 25, 205. Liverpool, from England, made an incredible comeback from 3-o-3 down in the first half, and finally defeated Serie A giants AC Milan to win the title. The final was hailed as one of the best Champions League finals in history, and Liverpool became the champions of the 5o European Cup. And Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard also became the second youngest captain in the history of the Champions League to win the Champions League with this campaign, and entered the list of "world-class stars".

The duel between AC Milan and Liverpool is considered to be the second collision of two great dynasties after the cross-century!

After the Heysel massacre in 1985, Liverpool were banned from European competition for seven years. Seven years in the flick of a finger, but it was enough for the Italians to seize power. Five years later, when Liverpool's European qualification was restored, the world belonged to someone else!

The great red dynasty can only be remembered by its supporters, and it is Milan who has the Dutch trio to take over Liverpool's supremacy. For 2o years, it has been difficult for Liverpool to really get out of the trough. Liverpool's decline is a nightmare not only for Liverpudlians, but for English football as a whole. They were insulated from European glory, and when time was about to say goodbye to 2oo5, which was about to record a major turning point of the times, Reuters reporter McCollette wrote in an article titled 2oo5, Unforgettable 6 Minutes of Madness: "Although Liverpool's manager was Spaniard Rafael Benitez and there were only two English players on the pitch at the time, Liverpool's victory still represents a huge success for English football. ”

This game ticks all the boxes for what can be called a "masterpiece" tournament, and more. Because it not only has a deep connotation, but also a rich extension. The goal in the first minute, the storm in the sixth minute of the second half, the three-goal comeback, and Dudek's miraculous save in the penalty shoot-out were all condensed in one game, and it was born between the two former European hegemons, AC Milan and Liverpool, which is enough to wear the label of "classic".

When Milan led 3-0 in the first half, Liverpudlian felt like the end of the world was coming, and the other dresser was immersed in irrepressible excitement, as if dreaming back to 1994. In that year's Champions League final, AC Milan slaughtered Barcelona, known as the dream team, 4-0 and became the king of Europe again.

Although Carlo Ancelotti denied that his side had lost the composure that Milan should have at half-time, Gattuso's words revealed the Milanese's secret: "The football we made made the word Athens flash in my mind, and I felt like we were going to repeat the 4-o beating against Barcelona." It was the unrealistic dream of setting the record for the biggest score in the history of a Champions League final, and a grossly mistaken understanding of Liverpool, that led to a devastating second-half blow.

After the Champions League final, AC Milan was depressed for a long time. In addition to their defeats, they also endured constant speculation, questioning and rumours, with one of the biggest negatives being that the AC Milan players started celebrating at half-time, thinking they were winning, and they felt Liverpool were vulnerable. For Milan, who lost the Champions Cup, the reason for the defeat was worse than the lack of skill was arrogance, which made Milan look stupid and amateurish. The Milan players, led by Maldini, angrily dismissed the rumours, but no one could explain why they had conceded three goals in six minutes.

After this shocking reversal game, Wikipedia has a new term, Istanbul Night, a term derived from a great football game, known to the whole world, Liverpool who staged a reverse battle miracle became a legend, and the proud giants AC Milan became a humiliating background, and from time to time it was taken out as a counterexample as a warning.

No, Mancini used this incident to warn the whole team, and, to be honest, this example is really very suitable as a police example.

Of course, Milan, as a negative background, is also quite hard-working, recruiting whoever provokes whom, always lying on the gun......
