Chapter 669: Manchester Derby

The whole of England is talking about the upcoming Manchester derby!

In the land of England, there have not only been countless superstars, many great teams have been born, and the historical feud between derby rivals is part of the football culture of England!

The word derby is derived from England.

One theory is derived from the Derby horse, founded in 1780 by the 12th Earl of Derby. "Derby" is the small English town of Derby, where the British horse races are held, and the horses produced in Derbyshire are famous in the British horse racing world. Originally a word used in horse racing, Houlan gradually extended to the match between two teams in the same city, which is the derby. There is also a theory that comes from the annual Shrove and the first day of Lent, when the Espen Superstars football match in De Berdale, Central England, is held on two days from 2pm to 10pm, and the town is divided into two teams, one named the "Up'Ards" and the other the "Downside" Don'Ards, a three-mile long gate where ball games take place throughout the town, are a well-known local festival.

In England, there are many very famous derby matches, the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, the north London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, and later due to the bad relationship between Liverpool and Manchester United, the match between the two best teams in England was also called the "English derby"!

The Manchester derby is certainly one of the most famous derbies in England.

As with any major rival team, banter between fans of both teams is commonplace, with United fans often making fun of City's long history of not winning a major trophy; As Old Trafford is just outside the city of Manchester, Manchester City fans say Manchester United are not from Manchester City at all. The two teams have a long history and a good record, Manchester City had a slight advantage in the 1950s and 1970s, but Manchester United reversed the situation after the 1990s, and the support in Manchester was 550, with the east of Manchester more supporters, and Manchester United fans from the west and the world.

The confrontation between these two teams is never short of passion and topicality.

On 20 September 2009, United beat Manchester City 4-3 in stoppage time, Rooney opened the scoring, Barry capitalised on Ben Foster's mistake to equalise, Fletcher twice gave United the lead in the 49th and 80th minutes, but Bellamy equalised twice and Owen scored in the sixth minute of stoppage time to end a frantic derby with a pass from Ryan Giggs. Speaking after the game, Ferguson said 'this could be the best derby' and then-Manchester City boss Mark Hughes said: 'We were disappointed and really tried our best today.' ”

This match has been called the best game in the Premier League in 20 years!

Such a classic game has been staged many times in the city of Manchester, and every time the red and blue battle is a grand event in the city of Manchester!

In terms of results, Manchester United are undoubtedly in the dominant position, they are the team that has won the most top-flight titles in England, while Manchester City have been missing out on the league title for almost half a century.

Before that, Alex Ferguson had called Manchester City "noisy neighbours".

This sentence fully confirms Manchester United's disdain for Manchester City.

In their opinion, Manchester City, who compete with them in the small pool of Manchester, is actually just a small team, they live in the shadow of Manchester United's huge size, and even without Manchester United, Manchester City's popularity may decline.

But in the past two years, with the injection of capital from the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City has begun to rise!

They seem to be replicating Chelsea's rise to prominence, buying big names and rising results.

Last season, in particular, they fought Manchester United for the league title until the final round of the season, and in the end United won the title by goal difference!

Noisy neighbors turned into powerful nouveau riche.

This Manchester United fans are obviously a little uncomfortable.

Maybe it's because the results are getting closer. The combination of the Derby rivals and the title rivals combined together made Manchester completely split into a red-and-blue squad.

Everyone is waiting for the direct showdown at the Etihad Stadium on December 9th!

......

The atmosphere of the derby grew stronger as the clock ticked on.

When the day's training was over and Gao Bo took a taxi at the gate of the base, even the taxis in Manchester were divided into camps.

Only taxi drivers who belong to the blue camp will come to the City Football Academy.

Glenn is an old acquaintance of Gao Bo, and he waits for the team's head coach at the door at 6 o'clock in the afternoon every day.

He planted a blue flag belonging to Manchester City in front of the car, making his position clear.

As soon as Gao Bo got into the car, the taxi driver, who was over 40 years old, immediately started the car and headed for the hotel where Gao Bo lived.

After a few months in Manchester, Gao Bo is still staying in a hotel, and he plans to wait for a while to be less busy, and then find a house, preferably closer to the City Football Academy. Then he went to buy a car - his car in Spain was given by a sponsor, and he didn't like it very much, so when he left Madrid, he gave it away.....

"Listen to the radio?"

"Of course!"

Glenn turned on the radio.

He didn't bother Gao Bo too much, he knew that it was a crucial time before the game, and the manager needed to rest.

On the radio, a football radio program on Sky Radio began.

"We welcome today's guest line-up, Gary Neville, Souness, and former Oasis member and Manchester City die-hard fan Liam Gallagher!!"

Glenn couldn't help but whistle, this Liam is undoubtedly an absolute loyalist of Manchester City, this guy often argues with Manchester United fans on Twitter, so now the media also likes to ask him to be on the show.

Gary Neville is a former captain of Manchester United and has been a regular on various football shows since retiring from football.

Today's topic is, of course, related to Manchester.

The first to speak was Gary Neville, who made his attitude clear at the beginning: "Hello audience friends, I'm Gary Nelvey. Manchester City have been in good form of late, beating Chelsea. But Pep Guardiola is also combining his tactical philosophy with the spirit of Manchester United, who I think are the strongest team in the Premier League right now!! Manchester derby, Manchester United will have a better chance of winning! ”

Then it was Liam's turn, and in the radio room, he pouted as Gary Neville spoke, disagreeing with Gary Neville's statement, but before refuting it, he also teased the United captain, pointing at Souness and saying: "It's nice to be sitting next to a football legend today...... And of course Gary Neville! ”

Glenn whistled.

Liam's teasing made all the Manchester City fans laugh.

Gao Bo, who was sitting in the back row, also smiled.

Before the derby begins, such a little joke may ease the tension between the two sides for a moment.

However, this also shows the weight of this derby in the hearts of fans on both sides!
