Speaking of which, now Manchester City's rotation squad is quite strong, Jaskelainen because he is a goalkeeper, there is no fitness problem, he does not need to rotate, Cordoba and Blanc on the back line are the captains of their respective national teams, they are both first-class central defenders, and their characteristics are just complementary, this defense line is not worse than the main defense of any team in the Premier League.

The two full-backs, Mills and Zambrotta, are extremely talented and have had plenty of opportunities in the past two seasons that have allowed them to grow very quickly, and they are now the best young full-backs in the Premier League.

In the middle of the midfield, there is Ding Hongxing, the anchor of the sea, Lennon, a defender with excellent defensive ability and a conscientious midfielder, and the two wings of Jinkladze and Smitchell are also qualified to play as the main players in other Premier League teams.

And Van Nistelrooy and Heskey on the forward line, talent is beyond doubt, in fact, due to Quinn's fitness problems and more and more minor injuries, Ruud van Nistelrooy has now played in many important games for Manchester City, in the first half of the season, he has made more than a dozen appearances in the league and has scored six goals, plus goals in other games, he has scored more than ten goals, and six assists, which is already the data of a first-class center forward, and although Huskey does not score many goals, he has a conscientious attitude in the game, Even in the forward line, he spared no effort to fight, the team spirit is also very good, and the header crossing skill has five or six points of Quinn, such a player is very suitable for Manchester City's full-court pressing style of play.

With such a rotating lineup, coupled with Ding Hongxing, the core who will never go down, how many Premier League teams dare to say that they will win them?

Although the number of Manchester City's first team is not large, the thickness of their squad is coveted by all teams, which is the family foundation that Ding Hongxing has slowly let Manchester City accumulate in recent seasons, and now Manchester City's medical team is getting better and better, ensuring that players rarely have major injuries and minor injuries can heal as soon as possible, which is the most powerful guarantee for Manchester City's current performance so good and so stable.

In the next game, Manchester City faced their old rivals Manchester United at home, and against this sworn rival, the Manchester City players never needed to do anything to mobilize, and before the city derby, they were all gearing up and full of energy.

Manchester City and Manchester United have met twice this season, in the Charity Shield and in the league, and in both games, Manchester City have won against Manchester United, continuing their strong run against Manchester United in three seasons, and they will certainly hope to continue to win against their opponents and maintain their psychological advantage over Manchester United forever.

For Manchester United, the significance of this game is self-evident, these seasons, the Manchester City team is like a mountain on their heads, so that they can not turn over, now it should be the peak of their 92 golden generation, but because of Manchester City's suppression, no honor, this is arrogant they can't bear it, now they are behind Manchester City as much as 12 points, if this game loses again, Manchester City's league championship is basically a foregone conclusion, they have to work hard in this game, Even if they can't win against Manchester City, they don't want to lose.

They hid all their main players in the Carabao Cup semi-finals in midweek for this important game, but they suffered a 3-0 defeat at home to old rivals Liverpool, and it was almost impossible to reach the final, and they paid such a heavy price that they were determined to win the game against Manchester City.

Seeing that Manchester City, which also sent a rotating lineup, still maintains a strong fighting ability and can win against Arsenal, Ferguson's heart is very bitter, the current Manchester City, not only the main lineup is stronger than Manchester United, but even the thickness of the squad is far better than Manchester United, they buy a player to buy a quasi, the vision is too unique, Manchester United team buys players, but the performance is always worse than Manchester City, he wants to buy some superstars who have become famous, first, the club always refuses to pay too much transfer fees, secondly, he can't grab the Serie A team, There is also a super team like Real Madrid, and Ferguson can't help but be a little lost.

However, Ferguson's psychological quality is also extremely tenacious, his confusion is only fleeting, and then he made up his mind, even if Manchester United still has nothing to gain this season, he will never admit defeat, as long as he perseveres to the end, there will always be a day to pull Manchester City down.

Two days before the start of this match, the 97 World Footballer of the Year award ceremony was held at FIFA headquarters, and this time the final three-person shortlist was Ding Hongxing, Ronaldo and Carlos, among them, there are two Brazilian players and one Chinese player, but Chinese player Ding Hongxing is the biggest favorite to win the award.

Ding Hongxing attended the award ceremony, and there was no suspense in the final result this time, although the number of leading votes was not very many, not as overwhelming as the European Golden Ball Awards, but Ding Hongxing still successfully won the title of World Footballer.

In this way, Ding Hongxing won the 97 European Golden Ball Award and the World Footballer, the two highest personal honors in football, although the authority of the World Footballer is not as authoritative as the European Golden Ball Award, but it still makes Ding Hongxing's fame to an incredible point, which can be described as a sensation, even the Chinese aunt who doesn't care about football at all knows Ding Hongxing's name.

Of course, the media has carried out a series of reports on this, and many domestic and foreign media have requested an exclusive interview with Ding Hongxing, including heavyweight TV media, as well as well-known paper media such as "Chinese Football", "Der Spiegel", "The Times", "Team Newspaper", "Marca", "Milan Sports Newspaper", if Ding Hongxing agrees to an exclusive interview with each family, then he will not be able to have his own spare time, so he threw all these affairs to Zheng Jiajian and flew back to Manchester. Prepare for the match against Manchester United.
