Old Trafford.

The atmosphere in the stadium is already very strong, and the fans of both teams are already yelling and yelling at each other!

Even before the game began, the two sides were already on fire.

If it weren't for the fact that the fan stands had a seating boundary, there were many security guards standing in the middle, and the fans who were jumped into anger could even beat each other.

The game hasn't started yet, it's already in the stands, it's a derby fight.

Derby, it's a war!

It's not just a war between the two teams, it's between the fans, the media and all the supporters!

For Manchester City as a whole, the atmosphere is at a disadvantage, because this is Old Trafford, Manchester United play at home, and there will definitely be fewer Manchester City fans.

The Old Trafford stadium was almost full of fans, and even the aisles were filled with fans who bought 'standing tickets', and according to statistics, more than 85,000 fans attended the game, nearly 10,000 more than the 76,000 seats, of which only 27,000 Manchester City fans.

Again, this is the result of the allocation of tickets to the away fans for the sake of the balance of the derby.

The battle for the top spot in the league, which is also the Manchester derby, has been in full swing for the top spot, with all 67,000 tickets allocated to the home and away teams snapping up a month earlier, and the 'ticket market' scalpers are looking for an opportunity to 'rip off' – on a ticketing website, Old Trafford's home fan zone costs more than £1,100, compared to the normal official price of £45. Tickets for the away fan zone are slightly lower, but can start at just £500.

£500 to watch a game is too expensive for most people, but even so, tickets are still selling out.

Just by selling out tickets, you know how many people want to be in the stadium to watch the game!

Manchester United fans make up the majority of the crowd and their shouts dominate the stadium, but the cries of Manchester City fans are not weak at all. They did everything they could to cheer for City.

In fact, Manchester City fans have a psychological advantage, since Wan Sheng took charge of Manchester City last season, the team has not lost a game against Manchester United, which gives them a lot of confidence, they won against Manchester United here last time, and now they believe the team can do it.

This is confidence in the team, but also confidence in Wansheng.

With the victory after victory brought to Manchester City, Wan Sheng's status in the hearts of Manchester City fans has risen extremely.

All Manchester City fans believe that the young Chinese can bring victory to the team, especially this game. They even look at it as the league title, and with such an important game, they believe that the team can win.

A victory at Old Trafford was enough to mock the Manchester United fans in the same city for an entire year.

However, the atmosphere was dominated by Manchester United fans, who were twice as many as Manchester City fans.

They are all hostile to Manchester City.

When the whole Manchester City team entered the stadium, they felt the pervasive hostility, and the City fans booed in the stands, trying to distract the Manchester City players in a way they wanted to cheer Manchester United on. At the same time, it also made Manchester City feel the pressure.

This kind of scene lets everyone who has never met know what a real competition is.

It was the first time Mesut Ozil had experienced such a hot game.

Since arriving in Manchester in the summer, he has already experienced game after game. In his opinion, the match with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid was hot enough, but now he feels the atmosphere around him. He only knew the gap between the Bundesliga and the Premier League, and he didn't even dare to imagine how he would perform on the pitch.

Do your legs tremble?

I'm probably going to be so nervous that I miss a short pass!

He didn't dare to imagine.

Mesut Ozil was suddenly glad he wasn't in the starting line-up. In fact, he was still lamenting that it was very important for him to participate in the tournament, but now he feels a little lucky, fortunately he didn't play, otherwise he wouldn't have to say anything about his performance, and the manager, his family and friends would have been disappointed in him.

At that moment, he felt an extra arm on his shoulder, and Ozil looked up to see the coach smiling at him.

"Don't pay attention to the sounds, feel the atmosphere, you have to learn to adapt."

Wan Sheng said.

Somehow, a sudden surge of faith sprung up in Ozil's heart.

――――

Wan Sheng looked at the surrounding stands, feeling the unique atmosphere of Derby, with an indifferent smile on his face.

He enjoyed the atmosphere.

What's the point of winning if the game doesn't get noticed, without the pressure of so many away fans, without the breath of big game? It's about the pressure, and winning is fun!

Now, looking at the players with high morale, he has endless confidence in the game.

Tactics, laid out.

The team is highly motivated.

Add to that the strength, coaching skills and so on, even if this is Old Trafford? What if the opponent is Manchester United?

Victory will definitely be mine!

Wan Sheng clenched his fists.

At the same time, the players of both teams were already in their positions on the pitch, and as the referee blew the whistle, the game began.

Manchester United kick off first.

They relied on home advantage to launch onslaught at Manchester City's goal. Their tactics have not changed much, and they are still playing in the same old way, with Michael Carrick and Cristiano Ronaldo on the wings both star-stricken, and the duo are constantly attacking down the flanks to help United find opportunities in front of goal.

This is the style of play that United excel at.

Carrick and Cristiano Ronaldo are indeed very good.

Carrick is another excellent product cultivated by the youth system of West Ham United that year, and Lampard, Joe Cole is known as the West Ham midfield triumvirate, he joined Manchester United for 18.6 million pounds in the summer, Carrick is fast, outstanding skills, especially good at passing, whether it is long or short passes, he can do well, and now he has replaced Ryan Giggs to take over the left side; In contrast, Cristiano Ronaldo is more versatile, he has become a superstar in his entire career, and after a few seasons at Manchester United, the Portuguese star has grown up completely, and he surpasses the average player in terms of physicality, explosiveness and individual skills. Often when he takes the ball, it is difficult for a defender to restrain him.

The two wings are Manchester United's strength.

If you want to defend Manchester United's attack, you have to limit the wings, but there are Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs in the middle, both of whom are former 'Manchester United Golden Generation' stars, strong and experienced, and no one dares to underestimate them in the middle.

Manchester United want this four-man strong midfield to take advantage of the situation.

When Manchester United attacked, the Manchester United fans in the stands also cooperated and continued to cheer for Manchester United's performance. It was as if United had scored, but in reality, the game started without the advantage they wanted.

After the conversion of possession, it was soon City's turn to attack.

Manchester City's attack is not targeted, they seem to be passing the ball at will, but between this random passing, the football goes to the front after continuous passing, and at the same time, all three fronts of Manchester City are also pressed up!

At first the Manchester United players did not feel anything. But when City pressed all the time, they felt like they were facing a torrent of waves, and their defence seemed completely ineffective in the face of this momentum. Manchester City almost 'ignored' the defensive and kept passing and receiving the ball, and that kind of continuous combination brought a great sense of shock, and for a while United didn't even know how to defend.

The Manchester United players felt a little strange because it was not what they thought.

It's not the first time they've played Manchester City.

There are newcomers in the team. For example, Carrick, but even Carrick had the experience of playing against Manchester City last season, in my impression. That Manchester City team is very sharp, but definitely not to the point of sharpness, they are often in the backfield to do cooperation, the front and back cooperation is likely to play a direct fast attack, but now Manchester City's cooperation has actually reached Manchester United half?

Doesn't it seem like you've just started?

What's going on?

The only thing they know is that Manchester City seem to have pressed all the way up and laid siege to their own goal.

――――

In the United dugout, manager Alex Ferguson watched the game, his brow furrowed slightly.

He didn't expect Manchester City to play like this!

The game has just begun, and it should still be in the tentative stage, and Manchester City will start a siege of "fish to death"? What the hell are they doing, don't they know that there will be a lot of holes in the defense at the back like this?

Ferguson was a little confused.

But at the same time he also had a sense of crisis as the game was out of his hands as the United goal was under siege.

It's a pretty obvious thing.

Just look at the distribution of the players and the repeated exclamations from the United fans in the stands that United have been under siege for three minutes.

You know, the game has just begun!

It's as if Manchester United are no opponent at all and can only defend their own goal, but it doesn't seem like this is how the game should go, no matter how much Manchester City play attacking football, it shouldn't be like this, they are just good at attacking, not not defending.

Old Sir was a little agitated.

This completely disrupted his arrangement!

He has done a lot of research on Manchester City and knows very well how to play against Manchester City, and that is one word - tough! Tough in the fight, tough in attack, to fight them in midfield, as long as they don't let Manchester City control the situation, then their performance will be affected, what kind of tactical advantages such as coordination will be gone, and then the team's hope of winning will be greater.

But now Manchester City seems to have given up on defense and launched a unanimous attack, is it the Manchester City players themselves playing an offensive on the field, or is the Chinese making a special arrangement?

Ferguson looked unconsciously at the Manchester City dugout, where the Chinese was sitting.

He didn't understand, what the hell did the other party want to do?

At this moment, Wan Sheng seemed to feel the gaze from the Manchester United coach's box, and he also turned his head to look at Ferguson, the corners of his mouth slightly pursed.

Ferguson turned his head with a cold 'snort' and continued to look at the playing field.

He's still a little unpredictable.

――――

The fans in the audience are no longer aware of the situation!

Manchester United fans didn't expect the team to be suppressed so badly at the beginning of the game, they were worried about the goal all the time, while Manchester City fans cheered loudly, they didn't expect the team to suppress Manchester United at Old Trafford, just from the beginning, but this situation is what they are happy to see, so they cheer for the team with crazy shouts.

The on-site commentators are also starting to worry about Manchester United, but unlike the average fan, he has a certain ability to analyze the game, "Manchester City seem to have launched a big attack from the beginning, and the United goal is a bit dangerous. However, it seems dangerous for City to do so, and if they concede a goal, they could easily find a counter-attack by Manchester United. They were very high up front, there was a lot of space at the back, and we saw that they seemed to have only three defenders. ”

A lot of people have also noticed City's starting line-up.

At first they didn't think it was anything, because Leto Ziegler and Lescott were both on the pitch, but they soon noticed because Leto Ziegler was always in front of him, he was more of a wing-back than a full-back, and Leto Ziegler was the only one on the right, Ivan Crewe and David Silva were paired in the middle, Morris was a little bit more forward, and Nicolas Anelka started with Darren Bent.

This strange starting lineup is very unpredictable.

What is Manchester City doing here?

Are they giving up on derby wins and just want to practise attacking tactics at Old Trafford?

Just when the media was making all kinds of suspicions, the format of the game no longer allowed them to think too much, and the football was hit by Downing's long pass to the back of the penalty area on the left side.

Nemanja Vidic was defending Morris, Rio Ferdinand followed Nicolas Anelka to the front post, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes were guarding David Silva and others at the front of the box, and there were too many players in Manchester City's front court, every player was interspersed with runs, and they couldn't keep an eye on it for a while, and as a result, Ivan Crewe saw the vacancy in front of him.

However, Ivan Crewe also had Gary Neville next to him, and he did not choose to shoot against the football, but subconsciously pushed the ball in front of the goal.

The ball rolled into the space left by Anelka's runaway, and Darren Bent suddenly appeared in that position!

"Danger! A direct pass from Ivan Crewe! It's Darren Bent! The stadium commentator exclaimed, and he realized that the ball was dangerous.

The football passed and Darren Bent was in the best position!

There wasn't a single defender around him!

Darren Bent was also a little stunned, he was just doing his normal run, and it turned out that the football was in front of him so quickly? But he resisted the excitement in his heart, reacted immediately, raised his right foot and chose to shoot directly.

A powerful volley!

Looking at Van der Sar head-on, Darren Bent pumped the ball with all his might!

The soccer ball flew like a cannonball towards the goal.

Standing in front of him, Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar made a lateral save as best he could, he spread his arms and stretched out as much as he could, but the ball was so fast that he could only watch the ball fly past his fingers.

Football integrity, plunging headlong into the net!
