In this game, Manchester City's starting goalkeeper was Wang Xiaolei.

With the growth of game experience, Wang Xiaolei's ability has been revealed, he does not have much experience in the competition, but the performance on the court no longer belongs to David James, the most important thing is that his state is more stable.

It's kind of unbelievable to say.

Will 36-year-old David James be as consistent as 18-year-old Wang Xiaolei?

But that's just the way it is.

James is a well-known 'butter hand' in England, and after the age of 30, his 'fault' still can't be changed, and there are often some small mistakes in the game, which is why he will lose the main goalkeeper position in the England team.

After Wan Sheng took charge of Manchester City, it was still the same.

Wansheng has a headache about this.

The football training master system is not omnipotent, Wansheng can only help James improve his ability, but cannot help him get rid of the problem of often 'low-level mistakes' in the game, plus David James is old, so Wansheng plans to replace a goalkeeper, but it is difficult to find excellent goalkeepers in Europe, and capable goalkeepers are not worth what Manchester City can afford, in addition, they will not choose to come to Manchester City, so Wansheng will think about cultivating Wang Xiaolei more.

Wang Xiaolei's ability is enough, the only thing he lacks is experience, so when Wang Xiaolei grows up, he is ready to let Wang Xiaolei replace James's starting position.

Now, Wang Xiaolei can't completely replace James, and the two can only take turns to take charge of Manchester City's goal, but Wansheng believes that by the end of the season, Wang Xiaolei will be able to surpass James in all aspects.

Wansheng is looking forward to this.

At this time, Wang Xiaolei is experiencing frequent tests, due to tactical problems, Manchester City's defense is not stable, and the players' running and pressing all over the field can only limit Manchester United's attack. This limitation is limited, after all, several players up front are not good at defending, and there is no consistent back and back three, so when United pass the ball up front, City's defence can easily be challenged.

In the space of five minutes, United had three shots on goal, two of which were on target.

Wang Xiaolei reacted very quickly, and he saved twice to help the team save the day.

Even the commentator at Old Trafford couldn't help but praise Wang Xiaolei, "We know Dong, he's from China. Manchester City's starting goalkeeper is also from China, it is said that he is only 18 years old, and most of the goalkeepers of this age are still in their respective youth teams, but he has already appeared in the Premier League. We can see that he made the last two saves perfectly, with the shots of Wayne Rooney and Carrick being saved. ”

After the compliment, he couldn't help but add, "If he can come to Manchester United." Perhaps the best successor to Van der Sar. ”

The Old Trafford commentator was praising it, but Wang Xiaolei certainly wouldn't agree with that.

Now that his career is thriving and he is on the verge of replacing James to take over the Manchester City goal, why should he go to Manchester United as a substitute for Van der Sar?

This makes no sense at all.

――――

But perhaps Ferguson thought so too.

Two years ago, Manchester United bought Dong Fangzhuo. One is that Dong Fangzhuo's ability is good and worth cultivating, and the other is that he is a Chinese. Buying a Chinese player is very beneficial to Manchester United's strategy of occupying more markets in China, and the only thing that makes the old jazz have a headache is that. Dong Fangzhuo failed to obtain a labor certification, and Manchester United could not apply the 'genius clause' to him, so Dong Fangzhuo was delayed for two years and failed to play for Manchester United.

Now that Dong Fangzhuo has obtained his labor certification, Ferguson has planned to recall him in the winter to decide whether to give him a formal contract based on performance.

Ferguson has some expectations for this.

After Ruud van Nistelrooy left Manchester United, there were still a lot of problems in the team's forward line, Rooney was not able to completely replace the position, and Saha was also injured frequently, so the return of a talented goalscorer must be very beneficial to the team.

At this point, he was very envious of Wan Sheng.

After Wan Sheng came to Manchester City, he directly called in the 'cheap' Darren Bent, and as a result, the latter broke out one after another, and the number of goals scored as the 'second' striker surpassed Rooney, this performance made Darren Bent's voice in England soar, and some media even suggested that Eriksen replace Rooney or Owen with Darren Bent as the starting striker.

That's the vision.

Ferguson himself does not have such an eye, and of course, he is only envious of it, and for Manchester United, they do not need to develop their own strikers, they just need to buy those famous stars.

Now seeing Wang Xiaolei's performance, Ferguson is moved again.

Van der Sar is 36 years old, not too old for a goalkeeper, he still has a few years to play, but the important thing is that the young goalkeeper who represents Manchester City is only 18 years old!

How many goalkeepers have made their debut in the top flight at the age of 18 in the world? The only thing Ferguson could think about was Italian international Gianluigi Buffon.

Now there is Wang Xiaolei again, and he represents Manchester City.

Manchester City's strength, the current game can be seen, they are really not worse than Manchester United, so in other words, this young Chinese goalkeeper is already quite good.

In two years, when Van der Sar is nearly 40 years old, he will definitely retire, and this young Chinese goalkeeper, who is only 20 years old, brings him to Manchester United, doesn't it mean that Manchester United will not have to worry about the goalkeeper position in the next 20 years?

In a few years, he will definitely retire.

When Manchester United fans see Wang Xiaolei, they may be able to think of him who brought Wang Xiaolei to Manchester United in person, right?

Ferguson thought.

――――

At this time, Wang Xiaolei ushered in another challenge.

This was perhaps the toughest challenge since the start of the game. At the end of City's attacking wave, United launched a quick counter-attack, Carrick found the opportunity to play the ball in front of the box, and Wayne Rooney broke away from the defence to receive the pass and headed straight for goal.

Single Knife!

"Good opportunity! Rooney, Rooney-"

"Shoot!"

The roar of the Old Trafford stadium was filled with Wayne Rooney's shot and all United fans were expecting Rooney to help United equalise, but the next moment they were disappointed when the young goalkeeper in front of the Manchester City goal made a perfect save after attacking to block the angle - he saved Rooney's shot straight into his arms!

"Whew-"

The stadium was filled with the sighs of regret from Manchester United fans.

At the same time, Manchester City fans also breathed a long sigh, this time the goal was hugged again, and so was Wan Sheng. Either way, the worst scenario came, with only one goal in the early minutes and now the tactics simply cannot be adjusted, and the Reds have adapted to it, so the team's defence is starting to be challenged frequently.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaolei performed well.

Looking at the young face on the field, a huge sense of accomplishment arose from my heart, Wang Xiaolei, this is a Chinese player who has been carefully cultivated by himself, only 18 years old. You can make your debut in the Premier League.

Even without him now, this young man will have a bright future!

Wansheng is sure!

It's self-bringed. Just when Wansheng was still thinking, Wang Xiaolei had already stood up with the ball on the field, he glanced at the front court, and directly kicked the ball out.

Few people realize how dangerous this ball is!

Those Manchester United players were still lamenting that the ball was not scored, and the Manchester City players were also secretly sighing for good luck and cheering for Wang Xiaolei's wonderful save, but by this time Manchester United had changed in the half, and Morris received a pass in front of the field.

Because of Manchester United's fast attack. The team had to drop back to the defense, with only Morris and Darren Bent in the frontcourt, and one Downing on the wing, and the rest of the players were completely unable to keep up. At the same time, Manchester United's defense is also very loose, and only Ferdinand and Vidic can really defend the middle.

That's when it happened. Morris made an unexpected pass!

Unguarded, he drove the ball towards the penalty area and the ball fell over Rio Ferdinand's head. Falls right in front of Darren Bent.

"Danger—"

The on-site narrator realized.

His shout alerted the crowd, who immediately focused on the game, and the United fans watched nervously at their half-time, worried about City's counter-attack.

Darren Bent reacted almost instinctively.

He stopped the ball steadily.

Vidic chased after him, but it was too late, and he secretly regretted that he hadn't come to defend in the first place, his position was a little far to the right, and it was a little late to run over.

Darren Bent has started and he rushed into the box with the ball!

Manchester City fans shouted desperately to cheer him on, Manchester United fans were 'booing' to disrupt Darren Bent's advance, and goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar had already rushed out.

The camera is focused on the Manchester United goal.

There were only three focal points in the game - Van der Sar, Darren Bent and the goal.

"It was a good chance, Morris made a good pass and Darren Bent got a one-on-one chance! He's already in front of Manchester United—"

At George Woodgate's roar, Darren Bent and Van der Sar were on the verge of colliding together. Van der Sar tried to block the angle and Darren Bent didn't have it easy to get the ball in.

At this time, Darren Bent was very excited, he didn't expect to get a second good chance.

It's a Manchester derby!

How many players can score two goals in a Manchester derby? It's not a good number, but it's certainly not much, and now he, Darren Bent, has a chance.

He suppressed his excitement and watched Van der Sar's movements carefully.

At this moment, Darren Bent was running, and suddenly noticed a touch of white in the corner of his eye, of course he knew what it meant, but now was his chance to 'score a brace'.

Manchester derby, facing the goalkeeper, can you still pass the ball?

If it was before, Darren Bent didn't have to think about it, he just chose to shoot by himself, even if his teammates or coaches asked, just say he didn't notice at the time.

But now he suddenly thought of what the coach said before the game, "If everyone has a sense of honor for the team, can think about the team, can treat the team as 'home', and have a higher sense of belonging, then Manchester City will really be invincible!" ”

Is that really the case?

He also thought about it, and now he answered, "Do I have a sense of belonging to the team?" Do I belong here? The honor of the team is my honor? ”

Choose to pass the ball now to give you a better chance of scoring and a better chance of your team winning!

In a few flashes of thought, Darren Bent had already made a move, he didn't choose to shoot, but pushed the ball flat to the right, the white figure was already in a pose, and when the ball rolled over, he gently pushed the ball.

The ball rolls into the goal without any suspense.

It was only then that Darren Bent saw Downing rushing from the side, and he grinned at Downing, who rushed over excitedly and hugged him. (To be continued.) )
