245th brand new derby

Manchester City's new owners have put enough weight on this Manchester derby, and now it's up to the game to turn out!

As for Manchester United, the result of media inquiries is that if Manchester United can win the Manchester derby, Ferguson will give the team a half-day off as a reward.

And according to the old janitor at Carrington's training base, the club's reward is very pleasing to the players.

In this game, the referee appointed by the English FA is Webb, Webber's full name is Howard Melton-Webb (Howard MeltonWebb), the English referee who was born on July 14, 1971 in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, is a sergeant by profession, belongs to the South Yorkshire Police Force, and is stationed in Sheffield.

It is worth mentioning that Webber's father is also a referee, who has enforced the law for 35 years, and Webb, who is only 37 years old, is one of the objects that the English FA has focused on cultivating in recent years, and Webber's law enforcement on the field also seems to be quite similar to his profession, and he is also known for his decisive and ruthless cards on the field.

For Webber, Ferguson has no good feelings, in an FA Cup game last season, Owen once scored a goal enough to kill the opponent, but was sentenced to a foul by Webber first, after the game, Ferguson said angrily, "It's not a misjudgment, Webber is the best referee"

And at the pre-match press conference, considering the old grudge with Webb, the old Scottish man said with concern: "I hope the referee will not be the protagonist, but let the players play." ”

The game, given the injury of Ryan Giggs. As well as Scholes who had a flu outbreak before the game and will miss the game. Ferguson has rehearsed his new midfield set-up in training over the past few days.

In midfield, Hargreaves is the first choice at the back. Park Ji-sung and him form a double midfield, while Nani and Cristiano Ronaldo are on the two wings, Cristiano Ronaldo should be said to be more a winger, Jonk and Rooney appear in the front line, however, Jonk's position is retreated accordingly, more like a nine-and-a-half.

Manchester United: Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar; Defence: O'Shea, Nemanja Vidic, Brown, Evra; Midfielders: Hargreaves, Park Ji-sung, Cristiano Ronaldo, Nani; Forwards: Jonker, Wayne Rooney; On the other hand, Manchester City, Mark? Hughes was fond of using the 442 formation during his time at Blackburn, and there was a lack of variation in the formation. But the victory lies in stability. This formation, he is now using for Manchester City.

Manchester City (4-4-2): Goalkeeper: Hart; Defenders: Richards, Kompany, Dunn, Garrido; Midfielders: Hamann, Wright. Phillips, Ireland, Vassell; Forwards: Robinho, Benjani; Before the game even started, Lineker and Taibbi were messing around there, and the pair were playing against Manchester City midfielder Ireland.

In the European qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa just over a month ago, the namesake midfielder from his home country Ireland made his return to the national team. Speaking about being able to return to the national team, Ireland wept bitterly and said that they would cherish this opportunity.

It all started last September, when Ireland played away to Slovakia in a European Championship qualifier. It was a do-or-die battle for them to qualify, but Ireland, the namesake international from his home country, asked manager Staunton for time off, claiming that his grandmother had died and that he would immediately go back to mourn. Staunton did not hesitate to grant him leave, and gave condolences, and. The Football Association of Ireland also sent a private jet to take him home. Ireland drew 2-2 with Slovakia in qualifying at the weekend before losing 1-0 to the Czech Republic. Lost hope of qualifying for Euro 2008.

But in fact, the Irish is talking about this named Patricia? Talon's grandmother is still alive. She almost fainted when she read the news in the newspaper about Ireland's imminent departure from the national team, and then the 'deceitful' old lady immediately declared to the media that she was still alive. After the news reached the manager of the Irish national team, Staunton, the coach asked Ireland to explain, and the Manchester City midfielder continued to defend: "This is my maternal grandmother, my deceased grandmother was Brenda? Git Chena, who was my father's mother, lived in London. ”

But then the Irish Football Association investigated, Ireland's "father's mother" is also alive, Ireland can not hide the truth, his girlfriend miscarried, he needs him to go back quickly, on the one hand, he is afraid of losing face, on the other hand, he is worried that the team will not approve, under the hint of his girlfriend, he had to lie, saying that his 'mother's mother' and 'father's mother', have died.

The Irish Football Association also announced that the unfilial son would be expelled from the national team, and Ireland was not able to return to the national team until a month and a half ago.

"Haha, I heard that Ireland has a new girlfriend, maybe his 'father's mother' is going to be 'died' again." Taibbi teased.

At this time, the stadium erupted in cheers, the home team in front, the away team in the back, and players from both sides entered the field.

In today's game, Manchester United's first captain Gary. Neville was on the bench and second captain Ryan Giggs was out injured, so Jonker, who started the game, wore the captain's armband on his arm.

This is also the first time that Jonker has played in the league as the captain of the starting field, before the game, when he learned that he would be the starting captain, Rao is used to seeing the big scene Jonk is also excited, this trophy is a different feeling, more of a responsibility and trust, and pressure.

Standing in the center circle, Jonk looked at the captain's armband on his arm and vowed in his heart that in today's game, he must work hard to commemorate this special game with goals.

At 14:25, as referee Webber blew the whistle, Robinho pushed the ball to Benjani, and the game began.

Although Manchester City is playing at home, in view of the perception of the attacking power of Manchester United's forward trident with Jonk as the core, in the first fifteen minutes, the Manchester City team is only cautious and cautious.

And Manchester United's attacking line, especially Jonker, was very active at the beginning of the game, showing a strong desire to score.

16th minute. Jonk picked up the ball up front and slid through the gap between Richards and Hamann with a beautiful technique. Before Richards could turn and chase back, Jonker shook his ankle. A beautiful arc passed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who adjusted slightly, took a few steps from the left side of the box to the middle of the box, and suddenly stuffed the ball straight to Evra, who was inserted at high speed on the left rib.

Patrice Evra made a shot but pulled the ball back and unexpectedly crossed the ball past the goal on turf and Rooney fell to the ground to shoot. His toes rubbed against the ball, however, he heard a crisp sound of 'bang', the ball hit the post solidly, and bounced back in front of the goal, Manchester City goalkeeper Hart quickly pounced on the football under him, looked up at Rooney with a look of chagrin, Hart was shocked into a cold sweat.

'It's a nice combination, Manchester United's attack is very layered. Manchester City's defence was completely torn apart, but alas, if this goal is scored, it will definitely qualify for the best goal of the round. Lineker said with great regret.

Opportunities for Manchester United followed.

Three minutes later. Manchester United played a delicate combination up front, with Cristiano Ronaldo dribbling past Ireland and pressing on by Garrido and Dunn. The ball was passed out, and Jonker cushioned it with his heel. Nani, who was on track, fired a shot and Manchester City goalkeeper Hart struggled to lift the ball over the crossbar.

Forthwith. Nani's corner kick is headed just wide by Jonker.

Manchester United's attack was fierce, but it was Manchester City who scored first.

It was 27 minutes into the game, and Hargreaves brought down Lightphillips on the right side of the penalty area, and referee Webb not only awarded a well-placed direct free-kick, but also showed Hargreaves a yellow card.

Ferguson saw Webb showing a yellow card to Hargreaves on the sidelines, and protested loudly in dissatisfaction, and the game was only half an hour old, and the main defender received a yellow card, which had a great impact on the later games, and Ferguson insisted that Hargreaves' tackle just now touched the football first, and the yellow card did not exist.

Manchester United assistant coach Mike Murphy Fearing that Ferguson's loud protest would attract the attention of referee Webber, Ferran quickly pulled the old Scottish man back, but it was too late, Webber's ears must have been hearing well, and he ran over to show Ferguson a yellow card on the sidelines.

"Haha, Alex. Sir Alex Ferguson has applied for a yellow card and it seems that there is a sequel to his feud with referee Webb. Taibby gloated commentary.

This free kick, about 27 meters from the goal, Robinho stood at the penalty spot, as the current number one star of the Manchester City team, Robinho is the number one penalty taker of the Manchester City team.

Jonk was also on the side of the wall, and he was waiting for Robinho's free-kick to hit the wall, so he could get the ball in the first place and launch a counterattack.

Referee Webb blows the whistle.

Robinho looked down at the ball, ran up, and struck the ball hard with the outside of his right foot, keeping his upper body straight and his hands open.

The ball arcs around the wall, and it looks like the target is the top left corner of the goal!

Van der Sar jumped up like a dolphin and hit the ball, but he missed! The soccer ball suddenly made an inconspicuous turn in the trajectory of the flight, slid past his left hand side, and hung into the net.

1:0!

Robinho scored to give Manchester City the home lead.

“Goooooooaaaaal!!!” The Manchester City fans at Manchester City Stadium raised their arms and shouted in unison, and the atmosphere was indescribable.

Jonk grabbed the captain's armband, looked at Robinho, who was celebrating the goal, and spat on the ground in displeasure.

Then, clap your hands vigorously to boost the morale of your teammates.

The game continues.

Park Ji-sung broke the ball in midfield, he passed the ball back, and O'Shea drove the ball forward.

Seeing O'Shea dribble across the halfway line, Brown had planned to come up and returned to the box.

Ireland wanted to steal O'Shea, but O'Shea handed the ball to Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a one-two with the retreating Jonker.

Cristiano Ronaldo continued to take two steps forward, and then pretended to cut inside, Garrido came up to defend Cristiano Ronaldo, but when Garido had just moved a step and had not had time to block the route of his pass, Cristiano Ronaldo rubbed the ball beautifully with the inside of his foot. Nani kept up with the ball and paddled the ball with his chest. He sped up, and then rushed past Harman's side.

Hamann scrambled up and tugged at Nani's jersey. Pulling Nani to the ground, referee Webb was about to blow the whistle, and saw Nani kick the football to Jonker who came up to answer before he fell to the ground, Webb raised his hands flat, signaling that the offense was favorable, and the game continued.

Jonk rushed up, pushed the ball forward, passed Kompany's sliding tackle, and looked at the goal. Without hesitation, he pulled out his feet and shot angrily.

Jonk's shot was extremely powerful, and his shot was very exaggerated, after the thigh pulled this kick, his body was carried by the huge inertia and fell to the ground, and the ball went straight to the upper left corner of the goal like a cannonball.

Manchester City's goalkeeper Hart has been paying attention to Jonker and has reacted when Jonk shoots, jumping up as hard as he can to try to block the shot, but no more. Jonk's shot was so powerful and so fast that Hart flew in front of his outstretched palm while he was still in the air. Hart turned his head in the air and saw the soccer ball slam into the net, knocking the snow-white net into a large bag. Then the ball falls to the ground and spins.

“Goooooooooooooooaaaaaaaal!!!!” Sky TV commentator Lineker when Jonker shoots. And he stood up and raised his arms high. When the football went into the net, his goal roared out of his throat.

“Goal!!! 1:1! Brilliant goal! Jonk's long-range shot equalised the scores. Manchester United have finally turned their attack into a goal! ”

"It was also Jonker's ninth goal of the season, and in the previous statistics, as long as Jonk scored, Manchester United has never lost a game, and it will be interesting to see if Manchester United can also take away a satisfactory score from Manchester Municipal Stadium today."

After scoring a goal, the excited Jonk did a somersault on the spot, and after landing, he roared to the sideline with open arms, jumped over the billboards, and then climbed the guardrail to wave and chant to the visiting fans, and then bowed his head and kissed the team emblem on his jersey.

He was the captain of the team today, and Jonk was a proud player, and he swore in his heart that he had to lead the team to win today, to win this Manchester derby, and anything other than a victory was unacceptable!

There was an earth-shattering shout from the stands at Manchester City Stadium, and all the fans stood up, leaning forward and chanting Jonker's name.

The goal sparked the adrenaline of Manchester United fans, and the celebration of Jonker kissing the Manchester United emblem made Manchester United fans excited both on the scene and in front of the TV, who had long regarded Jonk as the flag of the team, and today was the first time Jonker started as a captain, which was even more significant.

I don't know how many Manchester United fans were in the bar, raising their glasses and laughing, toasting to the goal, toasting to Jonker.

Jonker hugged Cristiano Ronaldo, hugged Rooney, high-fived Nani, and bumped his chest with Hargreaves.

Then, he waved his arm at Alex Ferguson on the sidelines, and when he saw Ferguson applauding himself, Jonker bowed his head and kissed the captain's armband hard before clapping to the visiting fans' stands and running towards the centre circle.

This is a battle of responsibility for Jonker as captain of Manchester United, and he tells himself that he cannot afford to lose.

There is only victory, only victory!

At the end of the first half, the score of 1:1 was unchanged.

Jonk returned to the locker room, took the towel handed over by the team doctor, and wiped his wet hair, the weather was not bad, who would have thought that when the first half of the game was about to end, raindrops fell, and it was not small at the beginning. This makes people feel even more cold in cold weather. The England fans in the stands are very experienced, they all wear raincoats when they watch the game, and all of a sudden, the stands are full of flowers, like flowers watered by rain.

Naturally, the players had to get caught in the rain. In order to prevent the players from catching a cold, as soon as they returned to the locker room, the team staff quickly took dry towels to wipe the rainwater off the players.

It's damn weather, Jonk scolded. It's no wonder that my friend Cesc Fabregas always misses Spain, and when you think about it, the sun and beaches of Barcelona are definitely a temptation.

Ferguson was pleased with the team's performance in the first half and did not make any changes at half-time. It's just a matter of asking the players to strengthen their marking of Robinho, indeed. Within the Manchester City squad, Robinho is the most dangerous attacking point. All of Manchester City's threatening attacks came from the feet of the Brazilian star, and as long as they could keep an eye on Robinho, they limited Manchester City's attack.

At the beginning of the second half, Jonker split the ball diagonally, Cristiano Ronaldo leaked the ball, received the ball, and saw Manchester City goalkeeper Hart standing in front. In a flash of inspiration, I chose to shoot in the sling.

Hart took two steps back, barely lifting the ball off the crossbar.

Corner kick.

Nani takes a corner, but Richards, who is defending the front of the Manchester City team, does not get the ball on the head; Hargreaves headed back and Vidic, ambushed in the middle of the box, leaped high to beat Kompany for the ball.

The powerful header was so fast that Manchester City goalkeeper Ha Ta subconsciously raised his left hand to block, and the ball hit the bottom edge of the crossbar, bounced back and bounced off the snow-white goal line. In the next second, Hart quickly lay down and crushed the football under him, as if he had found a loved one he hadn't seen for many years.

Jonker raised his hand. Signal that the ball has gone in. At the same time, Vidic started running to celebrate.

However, the referee Webber shook his hand. Signaling that no goals were scored, the ball did not cross the goal line. It's a goal kick.

Jonker was about to hug Vidic in celebration, but saw the referee award for no goal. He became very angry. He rushed to the referee and asked him why he blew out the Manchester United goal.

"It's in! It's over the goal line! He held the ball from the goal, the ball had crossed the goal line, and the goal was scored! ”

Vidic looked stunned, and he also came to appeal to the referee, saying that the ball had crossed the goal line. Seeing Webber signal again that there was no goal, Vidic was even more excited, and almost knelt down to the referee Weber, is it easy for a central defender to score?

At this time, the live TV broadcast was also replaying what had just happened, and the camera lens could clearly capture Vidic's header, and the whole goal had indeed crossed the goal line. When Manchester City goalkeeper Hart held the football, the ball had already crossed the goal line, which meant that the ball had gone in.

Under the strong protest of Jonk and the Manchester United players, Webber walked to the sidelines and asked the assistant referee of the game, a bank clerk named Smith, Smith said that the football did not cross the goal line, and Webber himself was not sure whether the ball had crossed the goal line, hearing the assistant referee say this, Webber chose to believe his partner, he chose to maintain the original decision, no goals, and the score did not change.

Manchester City fans applauded loudly for Webb's decision, and the thousands of United fans who came to the stadium were furious like an active volcano about to erupt, and their angry views hit the main stand where the Manchester City fans were, but the security and police of the game had already been on standby to separate the fans from both sides.

"God, I'm sure Webber must have not seen what was going on in the box, or he was blind, and the ball did cross the line, but the referee didn't award the goal. Instead, it gave the team two more yellow cards. It was a furious Vidic and Jonker, as well as other United players, shouted to the referee.

Nemanja Vidic and Wayne Rooney both received a yellow card for yelling at the referee.

Jonk was excited to see Vidic, and he had to yell at the referee, so he had to come up and pull Vidic away, the Serbian central defender already had a yellow card, if there was another yellow card, Manchester United would have one less player to play and the score would be behind, in case the referee showed Vidic a card again, it would be two yellows and one red, and he would be sent off.

Seeing that the goal was blown away, Ferguson was pale on the sidelines, but he didn't shout to protest anything to the referee at the moment, but this dissatisfaction was on his face, and everyone knew that the old Scottish man was going to leave the anger. Ferguson has already received a yellow card before, and if the old Scottish man has any more dissatisfied words at this time, it is estimated that he will go to the stands to direct the game.

While the Manchester United players were still protesting to the referee for the goal that had been blown away, Manchester City goalkeeper Hart saw the right moment, got up, rushed to the penalty line with the football in his arms, and threw the ball vigorously to attack.

"Hell! Back to defense! Jonker shouted and chased Richards with the ball from the Manchester City penalty area, while the rest of the United players were stunned and desperately tried to get back into their hands.

Jonk fell to the ground to tackle, but Richards passed the ball before he could make the tackle. Phillips got the ball and he saw Robinho cutting forward at high speed and it was a good chance to counter-attack. He didn't hesitate and made a long pass and the ball flew towards the United half.
