302 The gunpowder-smelling Manchester derby

Even if Alex Ferguson realised after the Champions League that he had made a problem with his substitutions in the final stages of the game, he would certainly not admit that it would only weaken his authority, and that United had won, at least the situation was not bad for United.

When a reporter asked about this, Ferguson only responded with the team's bad luck.

What a stubborn old man.

Carlo Ancelotti's optimism about the outcome was also limited, stating that the do-or-die affair would be played at the Parc des Princes and that PSG would need to improve their performance at home.

As for Tang Hong, who had two assists in the game and instigated a third goal, Ancelotti said succinctly: "He's a real genius, you can't completely hide the brilliance of genius. ”

The first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals has just ended, and Manchester United ushered in the second half of the league Manchester derby!

If he can't lead the team to defend the title, then Manich's sacking is logical, and so is the current trend.

At the end of last year, Pep Guardiola was the first choice for the manager position in the summer of 2013.

But once Pep Guardiola made it clear that he was in charge of Bayern Munich, the situation became complicated, and it was only natural that Manchester City would also consider Jose Mourinho as one of the candidates for a change of manager.

Roberto Mancini has lost his hearts at Manchester City, and with a number of players who have had conflicts in his years in charge, the Manchester derby would be the perfect time to make a comeback in the run.

If they can't beat Manchester United at Old Trafford, they will basically have no hope of defending their title.

With only three days to go to the Manchester derby, Manchester United are heading to Paris for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

So Ferguson has a big choice to make.

Tang Hong is too young, Van Persie is on the verge of 30 years old, and he has the ability to fight continuously, but the consumption of continuous top-level battles and confrontations can easily make both of them fluctuate.

The 10-point advantage in the league is huge, and if it weren't for Phil Jones' last-time own goal in the Champions League, United would have been comfortable navigating the second leg.

Now it is a dilemma, the lesser of two evils, Ferguson decided to hide Tang Hong, Van Persie, Rooney and Shinji Kagawa on the eve of the Manchester derby.

The old stubborn really doesn't believe that the other players of Manchester United are really playing the championship!

No matter what, it is also a soldier brought out by his own training, and the derby gives them a chance to throw their heads and spill their blood!

In other words, let them be cannon fodder!

Anyway, as long as you don't lose at home to Manchester City, you can accept it.

Tang Hong was not happy with Ferguson's decision and was keen to play in a game like the Manchester derby.

He can understand Ferguson's decision to seek stability and shift the strategic focus, but there is nothing absolutely certain in football, you must take risks when you should take risks, and you must resist the pressure when you should grit your teeth and persevere!

Even if he had other thoughts in his heart, Tang Hong would not reveal them out of place.

In the sprint at the end of the season, even Ferdinand, as captain, covered up the mistakes of his teammates, because the most important thing at this time is unity!

There is no room for the slightest distraction to interfere with the team's goal.

Since Ferguson pointed out the direction, Tang Hong could only obey.

He can still distinguish the stakes.

Manchester City and Manchester United have both reached the FA Cup semi-finals, and they will play each other at the Emirates Stadium in the middle of this month.

Manchester United fans have shown no sympathy for City's performances this season, and it looks like City's trajectory this season is very similar to that of last season.

The Champions League group stage is out, and the road to defending the league title is bumpy and difficult.

The only difference is that Manchester United are much stronger this season than Manchester City last season.

On the afternoon of the first weekend of April, the Manchester derby kicks off at Old Trafford.

Tang Hong, Van Persie, Rooney, and Shinji Kagawa all sat on the bench to watch the game.

Manchester United fans are a little depressed, looking at Manchester United's starting line-up seems to make people lose confidence all of a sudden.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Buttner.

Midfielders: Ashley Young, Cleverley, Phil Jones, Scholes, Ryan Giggs.

Forward: Welbeck.

Look at the starting line-up on Manchester City's side, the soldiers are strong.

Goalkeeper: Joe Hart.

Defenders: Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Klich.

Midfielders: Milner, Silva, Yaya Toure, Bari, Nasri.

Striker: Carlos Tevez.

Mancini seems to be a little afraid of Manchester United's attacking firepower, and the starting line-up is clearly defensive.

Ferguson liked to hear it, and estimated that he would despise Mancini in his heart: You are still too tender!

The pace of the game was not fast after the start, but the two teams were particularly fierce in the confrontation.

In the 6th minute, Tevez pulled the side in front of the field, but was shoveled to the ground by Rafael, and the two immediately broke out into a fierce conflict, grabbing each other's collars and almost scuffling!

Rio Ferdinand naturally went up to protect Rafael and the rest of the squad rushed to the scene of the incident, with the Reds fans booing Tevez.

Tang Hong, who was sitting on the bench, saw Rooney stand up and roar, and it seemed that at this moment it seemed that all Manchester United people should stand up.

Tang Hong looked around the field, and the Red Devils fans were really not friendly to Tevez.

Anyway, he was also a player who helped Manchester United win the championship back then, but unfortunately he finally joined Manchester City, but there is one thing to say, Manchester United does not want to buy out Tevez itself is not kind, and wants to wait for the visa exemption This kind of good thing did not happen in the end, Manchester City gave enough real money, Tevez joined Manchester City Strictly speaking, he is not a traitor, after all, Tevez is playing at Old Trafford on loan.

It's just that fans won't tell so clearly, since they have worn the Red Devils shirt and achieved success here, joining Manchester City again is regarded as a thorn in the side, especially when Tevez first joined Manchester City, Manchester City used it as an important tool for the club's fame promotion, Manchester was everywhere at that time Tevez posters and a sentence "Welcome to Manchester", as if Manchester City is the master of the city.

The fierce clash on the field quickly subsided, and finally Rafael received a yellow card, Tevez also received a yellow card, it seems that the referee's decision is still biased in favor of Manchester United, after all, this is at Old Trafford, if the duke is selfless, Tevez's yellow card standard is based, Rafael should at least be a red card.

If it had happened at the Etihad Stadium, Rafael might have been sent off.

The conflict subsided, but the game turned sour.

Ten minutes later, when Cleverley and Milner had another minor physical altercation, the referee played 50 boards each, and each person received a yellow card.

The game had no rhythm at all, and fierce collisions and fouls came and went, which was very superlative.

The best chance came from Yaya Toure's long-range shot, but De Gea kept the net in good hands.

United's attacks were largely at the feet of Ashley Young and Ryan Giggs, who were denied after their crosses were delivered.

Welbeck seems to have grasped a new style of play for strikers: stealth strikers.

The first half of the game was a goalless affair between the two teams, with Ferguson chattering and complaining angrily to the referee before making his way to the tunnel for the players' tunnel.

But Manchester United's players, especially the main players, don't think that this old man has much dissatisfaction in his heart.

He's more like adding fuel to the fire, hoping that the game will never get back on track.

Let's mess around like this.

No one should score!

At least no one could see that United were capable of scoring, and there was not even a glimmer of hope.

At halftime, Ferguson ordered the team not to be cowardly, not to be soft, anyway, with Manchester City!

This is probably a very simple and rough work, rather than actively trying to create an offensive threat.

Ferguson should be understanding Welbeck.

Why bother him?

Ferguson was about to mess with Manchester City, and Mancini's constipated expression lasted throughout the first half, and at halftime he seemed to figure it out, and he made a substitution as soon as the second half came out.

Sergio Aguero and Dzeko came on together, with Nasri and Tevez coming in.

After the Frenchman Nasri was useless and the Argentine Tevez was targeted, and after both substitutions, Manchester City clearly focused on the essence of the game in the second half.

As a result, Manchester City's attacking threat is increasing, and Manchester United can't afford to keep messing around.

The United defence was in constant danger until the 65th minute of the game, when the ball blocked by the forward line was smashed into the corner by Milner from behind outside the box!

Manchester City people are carnivaling, as if they have seen the dawn of a comeback in the league!

Ferguson was helpless, well, it looks like he's going to get serious.

Turning his head and giving Mike Phelan a look, Mike Phelan told the bench players to warm up.

Tang Hong, Van Persie, Rooney, and the forward trident saw Welbeck's vicious foul on Barry as they warmed up on the sidelines.

He's in a hurry!

Fortunately, the referee only showed him a yellow card, otherwise the rhythm of Manchester United's substitutions would have been disrupted.

In the 70th minute of the game, Ferguson replaced Ryan Giggs, Ashley Young and Welbeck.

Tang Hong, Van Persie, and Rooney appeared.

Manchester United fans also see hope, and they are naturally reluctant to accept the result of a home defeat!

Manchester United just played a wave of fast attack, Kompany and Milner teamed up to complete the sniping of Tang Hong, and Tang Hong, who was still improving his state after coming on the field, cut inside a little bit and gave the opponent a chance to break the ball.

2 minutes later, Manchester City's front a wave of fast attack played very efficiently, Aguero responded on the side, Silva split the ball in the middle and inserted it, but Aguero passed the ball diagonally to the bottom line of the side, Klich got up and crossed to the back of the penalty area, Dzeko jumped up from the middle of the goal to move the header back to do, and then inserted Yaya Toure into the penalty area with a volley to blast the ball into the near corner of the goal!

De Gea's failure to defend the near corner this time is really a bit out of standard!

Manchester United are 2-0 down at home!
