New Wembley Stadium, Manchester United dressing room.

Many of the Manchester United players sat tiredly, some closed their eyes to rest, and some lay down to let the team doctor do a massage.

The two assistant coaches of the team were a little worried when they looked at the players, and they knew that it was because the first half was too intense and everyone was expending too much energy.

Manager Alex Ferguson walked in.

He had a serious expression on his face, but when he entered the room, he just stood there and didn't say much.

The way the team is looking now is worrying.

In Ferguson's view, in the first half of the game, the team's overall performance was still good, there were players who performed badly, but there were more players who performed well, and on the whole, the team played a lot better than in the warm-up game.

But this kind of play, played half the game with Manchester City, but still fell behind by one goal, and the team was still a little suppressed in the second half.

What football commentators analyzed, he could also see, where did Manchester United lose in the first half?

Physical.

There is no doubt about it.

Because the game was too intense, as soon as the 30 minutes passed, some players were physically exhausted, and the team had to do an offensive break to adjust the rhythm and condition.

But Manchester United adjusted, but the opponent did not, Manchester City's scramble was still fierce, the attack was still very light, and as a result, Manchester United was scored.

In terms of the situation, it seemed like the goal was scored, as if City should have scored.

This made Ferguson feel even more uncomfortable.

Think before the game. He felt gritted his teeth at the young Chinese's face at the press conference, and he vowed to make that Chinese look good if United won the game...... However, City did show their quality in the game and showed their strength. For the first time in several seasons, Ferguson felt the feeling of being suppressed.

In the previous four seasons, Manchester United did not win the championship, and in three of those seasons, he played against Wansheng's team, whether it was Derby County or Manchester City in the first two seasons, even if he could draw or win Manchester United, it was all by tactics and play. There is also an element of luck.

European media say that Manchester City is a strong team, but it is only a strong team, and there is still a gap between its strength and top giants such as Manchester United and AC Milan, and that gap can be seen directly in the game scene.

But now this Manchester City team makes people feel that they are not worse than Manchester United at all, or even better. In the first half, as a whole, Manchester United were on the back!

How is this possible?

That's just Manchester City!

They won the league title two seasons in a row. But their strength is really not recognized.

The media doesn't approve of it, the teams aren't it, and Ferguson certainly doesn't approve of it.

But, now, Ferguson doesn't want to admit it. But I know in my heart that this Manchester City team is really not worse than Manchester United.

The most incredible thing for him is Manchester City's physical reserves, logically speaking, the opponent only gathers to train and prepare for the game for more than ten days, and the preparation time is shorter than Manchester United. It is unlikely that they will have more fitness than Manchester United have in reserve.

But the opposite is true.

Obviously, the opposing team has a better overall physical reserve!

Is this what the media reports call the so-called 'competence of top sports experts'?

Ferguson was puzzled.

In fact, Ferguson is dismissive of Wansheng's sports research, which he doesn't understand, but European football is not without science, and the 'Milan Laboratory' is quite high-end.

In order to optimally manage the mental and physical condition of its athletes, the club has entrusted this task to the Milan laboratory, which is said to be "the epitome of the perfect combination of technology, IT, cybernetics and psychology." ”

Ferguson doesn't know how professional the Milan lab is, but they definitely can't do what Manchester City are doing now - spending more time stocking up on players with more fitness!

How did Manchester City do it?

Is it really like what the media says: that young Chinese is the top professional in kinesiology?

The top?

Can the best so-called 'professionals' do it?

Ferguson was surprised and incredulous.

"Should Manchester United also hire professional sports experts to coach them?"

He thought.

When an assistant coach came over, Ferguson hurriedly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He knew it didn't make sense.

No matter what method Manchester City uses to prepare for the game, and no matter why Manchester City is so strong now, it is all considered later, and the most important thing at the moment is to deal with the game.

Now the team is behind, but the tactics are basically no problem, the players have no problem playing, and there is only one thing left to do - the whole team continues to work hard and strive to play better in the second half!

Ferguson snorted coldly, grabbing all attention.

After that, he began to make a serious and serious, gushing speech.

――――

Manchester City dressing room.

Wan Sheng is also doing the same thing as Alex Ferguson, the only difference is that Manchester City are the leading side and they have a good atmosphere.

'It was a good first half, we were one goal ahead and we kept playing like that......

"We have to be more aggressive and fight hard until the last minute!"

'The Community Shield isn't important, but winning Manchester United means more...... I believe Manchester United will remain our biggest league rivals this season and this win over them is the best place to start......

"A lot of people are watching the game and it's a derby! We have to be serious, I can't make careless mistakes, and I can't teach you a lesson......"

“…………”

Wan Sheng said to everyone, the content of the words was a little old-fashioned, but everyone listened carefully.

Those veteran players in the team have a high reverence for Wansheng, so they will listen carefully to everything Wansheng says.

New players such as Torres and Petrov have just entered Manchester City. I feel that Wansheng's speech is very novel, and it makes people feel that their blood is boiling, and they will also listen to it very seriously.

The players who didn't play also want to know how the game was going to play and if they had the opportunity to play, they wanted to play well.

So. In the first official game of the new season, Wansheng's speech to motivate the players was still very successful.

After seeing that there was not much time left, the whole Manchester City team walked out with high morale and prepared for the second half of the game.

In everyone's expectation, the second half began quickly.

――――

The second half of the game still began with a fierce confrontation between the two teams.

It seemed to be a replica of the opening of the first half, and after the opening of the second half, Manchester City and Manchester United fought fiercely, especially near the halfway line.

Both teams will want to regain control of the midfield, with football constantly moving around the area. The continuous conversion of the ball also made everyone see the intensity of the game.

While the game was intense, the fitness of the players on both sides was also declining, and soon the two teams began to adjust.

Surprisingly, it was Manchester City who were the first to make the adjustment.

Wan Sheng sent Robert Carlos to warm up and get ready to play, and because the game was so intense, almost no one cared about the bench. So when Robert Carlos warmed up, not many people noticed.

Until the fourth official raised the substitution card. The media and fans alike realised that City were going to make a change, and it was one of the last transfer figures to be noticed in the summer, Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos.

Robert Carlos came out at left-back, the position he has relied on to make a name for.

Boateng was substituted.

Boateng has been playing almost 60 minutes and has been a consistent performer, with nothing wrong defensively and a lack of attacking action. So Wan Sheng replaced him, on the other hand, it was also to let Carlos play to adapt to the Premier League environment.

When Robert Carlos stepped onto the pitch, all the attention of the media, the fans, even the supporters of Manchester United.

Even though Carlos is old, he is also an internationally famous star!

Once the six superstars of the 'Galactic Battleship'. Carlos occupies a position steadily, when Beckham, Raul and other stars are repeatedly unable to start, only Carlos can stick to the position, no newcomer can grab it, even if he has a conflict with the president of Real Madrid, it will not affect his main position.

The above is enough to show Carlos's strength.

Now that he is at Manchester City, what will he do in the Premier League?

The media are looking forward to it.

At the same time, Wan Sheng didn't care about Carlos, but told Glenn Johnson next to him, saying, "You and Robert are the same type of players, fast, good at the feet, both physically strong, you see how Robert plays here, he is your senior, you can learn a lot from him." ”

Hearing such a serious instruction, Glenn Johnson also felt that Wansheng valued himself.

He nodded vigorously and said, "Boss, I'll take a closer look." ”

While the two were talking, the game had restarted.

Carlos' appearance did not have much impact on the game as a whole, although he is an international superstar, he is only a player, and the basic play is only paid special attention to him, such as Glenn Johnson, it is difficult to affect the overall situation of the game.

Manchester City and Manchester United are still engaged in a fierce battle, and the two sides are fighting each other to make the game even more exciting.

Time passed little by little, and soon another 10 minutes passed, and United finally signaled for a substitution.

Ferguson ruthlessly replaced two big players - Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes.

Among the two, the younger Scholes is almost 33 years old, even if he tries to maintain a good condition, but as he gets older, his physical fitness cannot keep up.

After 60 minutes of intense competition, both of them were a little unable to run.

Seeing this substitution, media commentators also knew that this was Ferguson's choice that he was forced to choose.

"Although Manchester United has completed a big change and there are many young players in the team, veterans such as Paul Scholes are still the pillars of the team."

"In comparison, Manchester City has a lot of numbers, now the veteran Carlos has just come on, Morris is 31 years old and can still maintain his form, others like Ivan Crewe, Dunn are all in their playing years, and the other players are all young people under the age of 25, they have a big age advantage over Manchester United......"

This also speaks to one of the important reasons why Manchester City is more physical than Manchester United - young!

Manchester United is also very young, and those who have just entered the team, including C-Ronaldo, O'Shea, and Carrick, are not very old, but except for C-Ronaldo, Rooney, Carrick and a few other players, it is difficult for other young people to play the main team.

Manchester City is different, almost all of the players in the team are young, and they can be called "young Manchester City" whenever they play.

That's the gap.

Manchester City have already completed the 'full line of blood', while Manchester United are only halfway there.

At this time, the media began to pay attention to Manchester United's substitutions, replacing Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes respectively by South Korean star Park Ji-sung and England star Hargreaves.

Park Ji-sung has been very stable since joining Manchester United, and he is an 'old man' in the eyes of fans, and not many people pay attention to his substitute appearances.

Hargreaves is different, he only joined Manchester United in the summer.

Unlike other standard English players, Hargreaves' path to development has always been abroad.

His father was English and his mother was Welsh, and Hargreaves was not born here, but in Calgary, Canada.

Teenager Hargreaves was only interested in ice hockey and basketball in Canada, but later became interested in football.

After a good run with his birthplace team, the Calgary Hills, Hargreaves was brought on a tryout by a local coach with close ties to Bayern Munich and was later taken in at the age of 16.

Hargreaves played for Bayern Munich Under-19s for two and a half years and spent half a year in the development squad before becoming part of Bayern Munich's first team.

That same year, Hargreaves received an invitation to the England under-21 national team, and he opted to join the England team.

It's a tough choice.

Hargreaves was able to represent Canada and Wales because of his origins, and he was also a German citizen, which meant he could choose to play for Germany, but in the end Hargreaves decided to join his father's favourite England team, even though he hadn't even been to England a few times before making his decision.

Because of this decision, although Hargreaves has been playing for Bayern Munich, many English fans have a good impression of him, plus he performed well in the England team, so when they heard the news that he joined Manchester United, many fans supported him.

Hargreaves' move to Manchester United was not easy.

Last year, Manchester United actively wanted to buy Hargreaves, but Bayern has always refused outright, because Bayern were unwilling to let Hargreaves go after losing Ballack at that time, and the two clubs were even more at odds because of this.

However, United remain unrelenting about the midfielder, having repeatedly made high-profile claims that they would make another bid for Hargreaves in 2007.

On May 20, Bayern Munich president Beckenbauer publicly confirmed that Hargreaves would leave for Manchester United for around £17 million.

On 1 July, after signing a four-year contract, Hargreaves officially became a member of Manchester United, and then made his debut with Nani at Manchester United's Carrington base on 9 July.

Now that Hargreaves is making his first official appearance for Manchester United, replacing Paul Scholes, the heart of Manchester United's midfield, many fans are looking forward to Hargreaves' performance.
