Chapter Forty-Nine: Telling a Joke?

Regarding the upcoming Manchester derby in the next round, all the reporters were as excited as if they had been beaten. After all, this is the first heavyweight derby of the season in Europe's top five leagues.

In the past, the Manchester derby was not paid much attention to by too many people because the difference in quality between the two teams was too big, but this season, everyone's perception of the Manchester derby has changed a lot.

The first is Manchester City's double against Manchester City last season, and the second is that both teams themselves have attracted too much attention this summer.

Manchester United are in the spotlight because they won the league and Champions League double last season, and the two trophies are a testament to the strength of the Red Devils today. The old man's team is now in full swing.

Manchester City's changes at the top this season, the squandering transfer fee and the selection of the new manager are all important reasons why the blue moon is concerned

There has been so much news about Manchester City this summer that it makes it difficult to take stock.

In addition, City have won three of their three games in three games this season, bringing the total number of clean sheets to 10. Such stats are a full indication of City's quality this season.

Germany's "Kicker" magazine has a more neutral and representative view of the game.

"Needless to say, the Red Devils of the old gentleman are at the peak of their Premier League double last season. In this season's Premier League, they have won twice 3-0 over Newcastle and Portsmouth. Their neighbours, on the other hand, won 3-0 and 4-0 against Aston Villa and West Ham in both games. Manchester City are at the top two of the league table. Now there are only three teams in the Premier League that have won both games, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Chelsea, and after this derby, someone will definitely leave the team that has won all their seasons. ”

In addition, the confrontation between Manchester City's Chinese young coach and the old gentleman is also a highlight, which is a direct dialogue between the youngest coach and the oldest coach in football. In addition, when Wang was interviewed by reporters, he had no respect for the old lord at all. Maybe he's a newborn calf who isn't afraid of tigers, or maybe it's his arrogance? It will also be interesting to see what kind of sparks these two managers will rub in this derby. ”

"Among the players, Manchester United are starry, but Manchester City are not far behind their neighbours after this summer's big purchase. Robinho switched to a central midfield at Manchester City after escaping Real Madrid, and he shined brilliantly in his new team and position. And in this derby, can the Brazilian genius suppress the brilliance of Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney? ”

"It's definitely a Manchester derby to see a lot of highlights. It's just that before the derby, Manchester City will travel to Denmark for the second match against Midjland, and although this game is of little significance, for Wang Xuan's team, the rush of the journey will always affect their form. Manchester United, on the other hand, can wait quietly for the derby to arrive. ”

This article covers almost all the highlights of the Manchester derby, and its neutral attitude has led to a number of media outlets reprinting their article.

As for Manchester, with the exception of Manchester Sport, almost all media outlets believe that Manchester United will win this game. In China, it's the other way around. Although Manchester United has a large number of fans in China, since the news of Wang Xuan becoming the manager of Manchester City was confirmed, Manchester City has instantly appeared in a large number of fans. Aside from those Manchester United loyalists, most Chinese fans are emotionally supportive of Manchester City.

As the two teams directly involved in this game, the media will naturally not let go of the opportunity to interview them. No matter how the reporters analyze it, it is not as exciting as some news revealed from the players.

Manchester City's players received a gag order from Wang Xuan, and they didn't reveal any more information except for some clichΓ©s when facing reporters. Only Robinho and Mendieta expressed their gratitude to Wang Xuan in an interview with reporters.

Journalists are also curious about why Robinho and Mendieta soared in form during the game. It's just that Wang Xuan had never said it before, and this time they got the answer from the mouths of the parties. It turns out that the source of everything is because of that Chinese?

Wang Xuan gave a gag order to the players, naturally because he didn't want the media to draw the pressure of the derby to the players. Manchester United's players are not so taboo.

Ronaldo did not shy away from saying in an interview with reporters: "This derby, we must win." And this season, we're going to double them down. ”

Wayne Rooney said the same, "Killed by them last season? It was just a mistake on our part, and it was an innocuous mistake, and now we're the defending champions. This season, we're not going to make the same mistakes as last season. ”

The wild words of Manchester United's twin stars were caught by the media and hyped wildly, but the young and frivolous Ronaldo and Rooney didn't care too much about their wild words, and they really didn't take Manchester City seriously in their eyes. In fact, it is more about not taking Manchester City's manager who is younger than them in mind.

As for Manchester United's head coach, Sir Alex Ferguson made no secret of his contempt for Wang Xuan. "Who is Wang Xuan?"

Ferguson is notoriously fond of playing tricks before games, and he did so to provoke Wang Xuan. In his opinion, such a young guy must be easily provoked by himself. When his opponent is provoked before the engagement, he will inevitably reveal more flaws in the engagement.

Ferguson thought very well, but he still misjudged Wang Xuan after all.

Wang Xuan, who lost his parents since he was a child, has been very independent and strong since he was a child, and his personality has also allowed him to control his emotions as he wishes. Ferguson's wishful thinking to provoke him was wrong, but when this sentence reached Wang Xuan's ears, he felt that he could make good use of this opportunity.

"Second in the league and never heard of first in the league? Are you sure the great Sir Alex Ferguson didn't lose sight of the standings because of presbyopia? Or is he telling you a joke? Wang Xuan faced the reporter and said angrily.

The next day, when the major media began to frantically hype what Wang Xuan said. Wang Xuan and Ferguson only said two words through the media, but judging from the hype of the reporters, it seems that they have engaged in a wonderful and fierce war of words.

Wang Xuan was very satisfied with his acting skills, and when the old man saw the Manchester Evening News report, he smiled slightly disdainfully: "Young man, after all, it's still too tender!" ”
