Chapter 671: Mighty Manchester United

In the away dressing room, the soundproofing is not as good as in the home team's dressing room.

Despite this, Guardiola was equally serious and made the final arrangements for his players before the game.

This match is an extremely important game for both sides.

...

"This is the first time the two teams have met this season, and now in the table, Manchester United are one point behind Manchester City in second place, and both Manchester United and Manchester City will want to win! Because if it is a draw, it will be a defeat for both of them. If the two teams are tied, then Chelsea will be a fisherman, if Chelsea win this round and Manchester United and Manchester City draw, Chelsea will achieve a point overtake, which is difficult for both teams to accept for the title!! ”

"Whether it's Gobo or Pep Guardiola, their goal is to win, the first half of the game is over in a few rounds, and all the teams at the top of the table will want to work hard during this time to try to win the halfway and lay the foundation for the start of the second half of the league. December is a crucial game, and in the next 20 days, Manchester United and Manchester City will have to face six games, six games, 20 days, an average of a little over three days, which is a tough test for any team! ”

Ahead of the game, Sky Sports commentator Lesskinson is analysing the impact of the game's result on the league title race.

"We have only now got the starting line-up for both teams, whether it is Gobo or Pep Guardiola, they have chosen to be the last to announce the starting line-up, which shows that they are very cautious, there were rumors before the game that Eriksen, who was injured before, will return from injury, but from the list we have got, Eriksen is not in the team squad, he is still injured."

In the home team Manchester City, the starting goalkeeper is still Oblak, the central defenders are Kompany and Kolo Toure, and in the selection of right-back, Gao Bo chose Zabaleta, who is a little more solid defensively, and another full-back, Kieran Trippier, is on the bench, and the left wing-back is still Kolarov. Casemiro, James Milner, David Silva in midfield, and Griezmann, Vardy and Dzeko up front. However, from the formation given before the game and speculation about this personnel combination, Griezmann is likely to play in a midfield position, he will be combined with Casemiro, Milner, David Silva in midfield, Manchester City may play a 442 formation at home. ”

'For Manchester United, goalkeeper David De Gea, left wing-back Patrice Evra, centre-back Rio Ferdinand and Hummels, left wing-back Rafael, midfield Modric, Thiago and... Pogba! The other two veterans Carrick and Paul Scholes are temporarily on the bench, Pogba has been given a regular place under Pep Guardiola, and he is also the most eye-catching midfielder in the Premier League this season, in the forward position, central striker Wayne Rooney, left winger Pedro, right winger Nani! This squad is Manchester United's main squad this season, of course, on the bench, Manchester United's bench is also quite luxurious, including several veterans such as Ryan Giggs, as well as young pea Hernandez, central defender Vidic and other players on the bench! ”

"And on the Manchester City bench, due to injuries to Hazard, Eriksen and others, Manchester City's bench has a young player who is nearly 18 years old, Spanish midfielder Denis Suarez, in addition, there are Klich, Maguire, Adam White and others."

While the starting line-ups for both sides began to be shown on TV, players from both teams were waiting at the Etihad Stadium to enter.

"Guys! Let's go!!! ”

Kompany, who was wearing the captain's armband, turned his head and shouted to his teammates behind him.

At the same time, Rio Ferdinand, the captain of Manchester United today, also waved his hand, "Guys, it's our turn!!" ”

Amid the deafening cheers from the stands, the players of both teams rushed out and stepped onto the field!

"They're out!"

In the stands, in the commentary seats, in front of the TV, everyone shouted like this!

Sky blue Manchester City, red Manchester United!

The players of both teams walked into the field with their heads held high.

The much-anticipated Manchester derby is about to begin!

On one side are England's super-giants, and on the other side are the recent rise of super-upstarts!

Although Manchester City is not as influential as Manchester United in the world, there are definitely no fewer fans here, in this city, than Manchester United!

And in this stadium, it is completely the world of Manchester City fans!

The blue flag was waving, and the atmosphere at the scene was crazy and crazy is not too much to describe it!

The game has not yet started, and there are already fans in the stands who are roaring wildly, and the whole stadium seems to have traveled back in time to the era of ancient Rome.

Gladiators fight to the death in the Colosseum!

This is the battlefield of football!

.......

Gao Bo stood in front of the coach's seat with his hands in his pockets.

The weather in England in December was already a little cooler, the game had not yet started, and his palms were already sweaty.

People sweat when they're excited, excited, nervous, and scared!

And for Gao Bo, there is no match more important than this one!

Manchester City beat Chelsea and now they have Manchester United in front of them!

As a team aiming to win the championship, what they have to do is to beat their direct rivals in a head-to-head matchup!

Gao Bo regretted Ferguson's early retirement, and it was a shame that he did not have the opportunity to face the greatest manager in Premier League history for a season.

Now, though, he's no worse than Alex Ferguson, and United's squad now even looks tougher than it did in the Ferguson era.

Looking at their line-ups, Manchester United's line-up today is 433!

Pep Guardiola still sticks to his possession-based style of play, and 433 is undoubtedly one of the most suitable tactics for this style of play.

And in midfield, United's midfield is full of energy.

The combination of Modric, Thiago, and Pogba, this combination of midfield is quite a strong midfield configuration in the whole of Europe.

The centre-back combination of Rio Ferdinand and Hummels is also quite tough, and despite Ferdinand's age, his game experience can play a very important role with Hummels on his side.

The forward configuration of Pedro, Rooney, and Nani is also first-class in the Premier League!

The most important thing is their manager, Pep Guardiola!

This is an opponent that Gao Bo will never underestimate.
