Chapter 61: We Can Win!

The Manchester derby is a big festival for UK fans, with the game expected to be watched by more than 10 million people in the UK. Sky Sports also prepared early for the game, with Martin Taylor and Andy Gray taking to the podium half an hour early as they warmed up.

"Andy, what do you think of this game?" Martin Taylor asked.

"Actually, I really didn't expect Wang to do this at Manchester City, which is now at the top of the Premier League. The league has only been played for two rounds, but Manchester City have already played four games. In these four games, I saw Wang his own stuff in them. In addition, his transformation of Manchester City has been quite successful. It can be said that this Chinese impressed me. But in today's game, I think Manchester United will have a better chance of winning. After all, Manchester United, as a mature system, has been operating for a long time. They have a stronger squad and their tactics are more mature. ”

"And what kind of score do you think this game will be?" Martin Taylor continued to ask.

Andy Gray thought for a moment and said, "I think it's going to be a 1-0 or 2-1 scoreline. Of course, it is not ruled out that it will be a big ending. ”

"Is it because of Manchester City, you haven't been able to fully understand it?"

"Indeed, Wang's card routine is still uncertain. If they want to take advantage of the home advantage to set up a big attack, they may die a very miserable death. ”

Andy Gray and Martin Taylor were analysing the game from the commentary podium, while outside the Etihad Stadium, Sith was also interviewing random fans, with most of the United fans he chosen. And he asked only one question - "Who do you think Manchester United's arch-enemies are in the Premier League?" ”

Manchester United fans have an almost unanimous answer to this question - "Liverpool! ”

In the eyes of Manchester United fans, the Double Red Club can be regarded as the hottest derby in England, and the Red Army Liverpool is their sworn enemy of the Red Devils!

Not being recognized as a sworn enemy by the city's sworn enemies is the biggest humiliation for Manchester City! And the Sith is here to humiliate Manchester City.

At this moment, the players have also warmed up and returned to the locker room, and Wang Xuan quietly watched the players sit and make the final preparations before the game. There was soft music in the dressing room, the players didn't talk to each other, and it was very quiet in the dressing room.

Wang Xuan just watched quietly, the atmosphere of the imminent war was very strong.

When the players were almost ready, Wang Xuan broke the calm in the locker room, and he said softly: "I have emphasized the tactics of the game many times, and I will not repeat it." We don't have to pay too much attention to today's game, he's just an ordinary league game. This ordinary league, we can win! ”

Wang Xuan's voice was not loud or passionate, but every word he said typed into the hearts of the players. Especially the last four words - "We can win!" ”

These four words made the players' somewhat unsettled hearts slowly calm down, and they began to wait for the game to officially start, and Wang Xuan had already exited the locker room and came to the coach's seat in advance.

Today's Etihad Stadium is full of people, and even though the two teams are in the same city, the Etihad Stadium is still filled with blue as far as the eye can see. Only a small patch of red stands out in this sea of blue.

Before the game officially started, the Manchester City fans were already singing. And when the players entered, they began to cheer. Although Manchester City's results have not been good over the years, their fan organization is very professional. Before the game even started, they began to harass the opponent's heart.

Manchester City's starting line-up today has not changed much from the previous round of the league, Mendieta replaced Fernandes, Johnson replaced Wright, and the central striker at the front was replaced by Ruo Gao.

However, in formation, Elano did not appear in Wright's right midfield position, but in the midfield position he is most familiar with. In this way, Manchester City formed a formation of three midfielders. Their formation also changed to 4-3-2-1.

Seeing the position of the Manchester City players, Andy Gray was surprised: "Manchester City's line-up has not changed much in this game, but they did not choose the 4-2-3-1 of the previous four games, but a 4-3-2-1 Christmas tree formation. I think it's a bit strange that Wang would choose to use a new tactic in this game. ”

Martin Taylor frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I don't think their tactics will change too much, you should remember the last round of the league, Elano was in the left wing-back position, and at that time his work on the field was more about defense, and sometimes he would retreat to the midfield position to help defend. I think City will change their formation at the right time, with Elano on the left, Robinho in the middle and Johnson on the right. By then, their formation would have changed to 4-2-3-1. ”

"It makes sense, but we'll have to play to find out. The referee blew the whistle and the game began. Manchester United kick-off ......"

From the moment the players entered, Wang Xuan had been standing on the sidelines and had not moved, his expression was very serious. And when the whistle blew, the expression on his face became more serious.

Manchester United launched a very ferocious attack from the first second of the game, and the strong forward line composed of Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Tevez made Manchester City's backline dare not slack off. Moreover, Manchester United did not think about any tentative attack with Manchester City from the beginning, and after stabilizing the rhythm with the ball, they directly hit the ball in front.

Cristiano Ronaldo's long-range shot from inside directly sounded the horn of Manchester United's attack in this game.

Wang Xuan said yesterday that an old man like Ferguson is more suitable for defensive tactics, but the old man did not choose to be conservative, he discharged such a formation just to attack.

But Wang Xuan also seems to have made a plan for Manchester United's attack early, and his three-back formation is also aimed at Manchester United's attack.

From this point of view, Wang Xuan and the old lord can be regarded as a draw.

Seeing Manchester City's arrangement, Ferguson glanced at Wang Xuan very meaningfully. Wang Xuan was able to make such a targeted arrangement, which Ferguson did not expect.

He knew very well the pressure that Wang Xuan was under, and under such pressure, Wang Xuan was able to make the most correct choice, which was already very rare. And the lineup arranged by Wang Xuan is definitely not to defend to the end, Mendieta appeared in the position of the back waist, and it was clear that it was for counterattack.

"The defense is very layered and we don't forget to counter-attack. It's a bit of a level, and it's amazing to do it at his age! Like his whole age, I'm not as good! Ferguson looked back and gave this assessment.
