Chapter 712: A New Season

Although Manchester United had the advantage, Manchester United manager Alex Ferguson's face was always solemn, he knew how terrible Manchester City were, and all advantages were empty talk until the game was won. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ferguson was thinking more about this summer's reinforcements, this summer, Ferguson's recruitment targets were many, in order to strengthen the team's strength, he took a fancy to a number of big-name stars, he was determined to bring in one or two big-name stars, no matter how much money was spent, he must introduce one or two big-name stars, otherwise it is impossible to compete with the Manchester City team, but these targets were signed by other teams one by one, and Shearer, who he wanted the most, did not hesitate to refuse his invitation, and Newcastle refused to let go of his star no matter what, in the end, he can only settle for the next best, buying two players, Yorke and Sheringham, but losing Cantona, it can be said that the strength of the team has not increased.

In fact, even if Manchester United has nothing to gain in recruitment, with the maturity of their 92 golden generation, the strength of the Manchester United team is getting stronger and stronger, but Ferguson knows that most of the main forces of the Manchester City team are also entering their peak, coupled with Ding Hongxing, such an absolute core of the sea god, if the strength of the Manchester United team does not make a big leap, it is difficult to compete for Manchester City, which makes Ferguson full of sorrow.

Ferguson was a little distracted, just at the moment of his distraction, the situation on the field changed abruptly, the game went to the fifteenth minute, Nedved ran actively, stealing Scholes's horizontal pass in the midfield, he immediately passed it to Ding Hongxing next to him, because Manchester United was attacking when he was stealed, their formation pressed relatively high, Ding Hongxing drove straight into the ball with the ball, and has not encountered a strong block, about 30 meters away from the goal, Ding Hongxing looked up at the goal, decisively shot from a distance, and the ball hung in the upper left corner of the goal, Manchester City, who had been underdogs in the game, took the lead.

The goal was a heavy blow to Manchester United, who had been dominating the game but now it was Manchester City who scored first, which took a deep toll on their self-confidence and reminded them of the fear of being dominated by Manchester City over the past two seasons.

Ding Hongxing's goal boosted the morale of the Manchester City team, and in the subsequent games, they gradually took the initiative on the field.

Larsson and Seedorf scored once each for the remainder of the game, and United only managed to save face in the final five minutes through substitute Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Manchester United sent the Black Wind to this game, but this pair of later powerful striker combinations, now there is no cooperation, especially York, the cooperation between him and his teammates is very rusty, rarely able to run out of opportunities, the whole game is inactive, but Solskjaer is really a super substitute, microwave oven-like player, as soon as he plays, his goal also avoided the embarrassment of Manchester United's 0-3 defeat.

Manchester City continued their strong stance against Manchester United in this game and won the first title of the new season, although this title is not very important, but after all, it also adds a trophy to Manchester City's club's honor room, and continues to enrich their glory.

After the Charity Shield, the new Premier League season will begin on the 13th, Manchester City's first game will be at home against promoted Bolton Wanderers, and their second round of the league will be the 16th away to Manchester United, that is, within a week, Manchester City will play a second derby, and Manchester United will also have a chance to take revenge at home.

On August 13, the Premier League opened, the Manchester City team at home faced the weak promoted Bolton team, mercilessly, slaughtered, swept the opponent 5-0, Ding Hongxing scored a hat trick, Larsson and Nedved scored a goal each, although the pre-season training of the Manchester City team is not systematic, but driven by Ding Hongxing, who is in good shape, the state of other players is gradually recovering.

On August 16, Manchester City challenged Manchester United away, in the hoarse shouts of more than 90,000 fans at Old Trafford, Manchester United launched an overwhelming attack on Manchester City with the advantage of home, they vowed to win Manchester City at their home stadium to wash away the shame of these seasons, but it backfired, Manchester United's attack was only thunder and no rain, and no goal was scored in the whole game, but it was Manchester City in a counterattack, Ding Hongxing's long pass assisted Larsson to score the only goal of the game, Helped Manchester City back from home with a hard-fought but precious victory.

After two consecutive league starts, Manchester City have flown to Barcelona, Spain, where they will take on Barcelona at the Camp Nou in the first leg of this season's UEFA Super Cup.

The UEFA Super Cup is a competition between the Champions League winner and the European Cup Winners' Cup, before 98, it was a two-legged home and away match, and last season's European Cup Winners' Cup was won by Barcelona, so Manchester City had to play two games against Barcelona to decide the first title in European football this season.

This game is naturally a lot of highlights, this is the first time Manchester City team has participated in the UEFA Super Cup, on the contrary, Europe's top giants Barcelona have participated in this competition many times before, and have won the cup once, Manchester City team represents a new force in European football, can they beat the old giants Barcelona, get involved in this honor they have never won?

Barcelona's new manager Louis van Gaal is the former manager of Manchester City's number one star Ding Hongxing, who defeated Ajax in the Champions League semi-finals last season.

Since Van Gaal took office, he has made a relatively big change to Barcelona's tactics, and the tactics he used in Barcelona are more aggressive than when he was at Ajax, often leaving only two or three defenders at the back, and Manchester City's full-court pressing tactics have too many Ajax shadows, these two teams with similar tactics, who can have the last laugh?

Speaking of which, Barcelona still has a big advantage in terms of physical fitness, this summer, Barcelona has not gone anywhere, their pre-season training camp is very systematic, the players' physical recovery is much better than that of Manchester City, and the start time of La Liga is the end of August, so far they have not played an official game, and Manchester City has played three official games, all of which are three or four days a rhythm, three days ago, they just had a hard battle with Manchester United away from home, Physically, of course, it can't be compared to Barcelona, which is at ease.
