The conversation with the Glazer was a great one.

Then it's time to prepare for the Manchester derby.

In the Premier League, the so-called strong dialogue has become more and more in recent years.

Even teams like Tottenham Hotspur are gradually being planned by fans into the ranks of 'strong teams'. There is a vision of creating a new 'mini-World Cup'.

But the city derby is still a different game.

For Manchester United fans, this 'noisy neighbour' has been too noisy for a few years and it's time to shut them up!

And Manchester City fans are 'princely generals.' shouted to overturn Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal's Premier League throne!

Brothers! It's time to get started!

However. Manchester City, who had been smooth sailing and spending money to produce results, have lost two games in the first nine rounds of matches this season. With Manchester United winning, if this six-point battle is lost to Manchester United, it will be a full nine points behind the top team after 10 rounds! This is not a good result.

In the face of Manchester United's hot state before the start of the game, Manchester City, which has been stable with Manchester United in recent years, does not dare to be too optimistic, especially if they have Xiao Wen.

However. On the day of the game, according to the news coming out of Manchester United, it made Blue Moon fans very excited.

Manchester United's Ashley Young and Luke Shaw, the two main full-backs and the main central defender Blind, missed this game with injuries!

Definitely good news for Manchester City, who are almost full squad for Old Trafford.

A few people are happy and some people are sad.

Luke Shaw is naturally the one who is worried, his form has soared recently, and it can be said that when Depay's form is extremely bad, he ran through the left side alone and held up a piece of the sky in the left half of Manchester United. I didn't expect to get injured before such an important game.

Although it was said that it was just a matter of resting for a week, it was too uncomfortable.

As for the happy candidates, there must be Rashford.

Marcus Rashford, who debuted at Carrington as a child, was named the Premier League's best young player last month, and is naturally as light as a swallow, feeling like he is already emitting a faint glow wherever he goes, although he still has to do his homework every night

Entering the first team for the first time, he can't adapt to the shock in his heart for the time being, but every little person who has ambition and courage at the beginning will not let go of any opportunity to climb up - he needs to spark in the cooperation with Xiao Wen, and he needs to find his own position in Manchester United's attacking routine! Then sit in the starting position!

At first, all the fans, even many Manchester United fans, didn't know who this low-brow pleasing young man was and even made people feel that he was too young, but the person who can appear in the first team of Manchester United, presumably even if he is still unknown, will always have a chance to soar in the future!

It's just that no one thought that after Depay was gradually refrigerated, Januzaj gradually took shape, and Rooney was forced to take a back seat, in addition to Mata, the one who had the most spark with Xiao Wen was Rashford!

It's just that the eyebrows of Manchester City fans who are rushing to Old Trafford occasionally flash a few subtle hints of contempt.

"Xiao Wen is a threat. But we're not Arsenal. Otamendi and Vincent Kompany are the most trusted centre-back pairings in the Premier League right now. Fernandinho is the best midfielder in the Premier League! So. We can beat Manchester United away from home. ”

"Look at the front court setup. Raheem Sterling, De Bruyne, Yaya Toure! Marcus Rashford, Juan Mata, Januzaj or Depay are up against whatever! ”

'I don't know who Manchester United will use with Smalling at centre-back, but no one is reliable. Luke Shaw and Ashley Young are injured again, so we won this game by a big margin! If you can't take it, I think Pellegrini should just get out of class. ”

Outside Old Trafford, reporters interviewed Manchester City fans. Hardly anyone thinks this game belongs to Manchester United.

Manchester United's fans, while expressing satisfaction with the home team's nine-game winning streak, expressed concern about the game.

'Luke Shaw has been one of the biggest discoveries for Manchester United this season in my opinion, and if he can't play, whether it's Marcos Rojo or someone else here. Couldn't play his role, his forward assist, even better than Depay's! If it was really Rojo playing at left wing-back. Then I just beg his defense not to make any mistakes. ”

"It's the same with Valencia on the other side. In the past, when he played right wing-back, he was stunned by a winger-turned-defender from a small range of the opposition, and we can't expect him to have a top-notch understanding of defensive positioning. Moreover, injuries and age have made him lose the speed he is proud of in this game at the back."

"And a Phil Jones thing. If I get one point, I'm also satisfied. After all, it's been years since I've had such a dazzling start. ”

Off the pitch, many people are not very optimistic about this broken Manchester United team.

In the locker room, Xiao Wen was still calm.

Rashford is still a little reserved.

Xiao Wen had been sitting in front of the locker and watching this scene calmly, knowing that the disdain in the eyes of the bosses of these teams was not because of Rashford's naivety, but because of the performance he had shown on the pitch for most of the time recently - after all, Rashford can only get his hands on the momentum of a young man.

But Rao is like this, looking at Rashford's appearance on the pitch playing forward and returning to the defense ruthlessly, Xiao Wen still has a trace of appreciation for this little brother who is really better than his Xiao. After all, what Manchester United lacks most now is this kind of person

Fortunately, there are more and more such people, such as Mata, such as Herrera, such as N'Golo Kante.

……

One hour before the game.

Starters.

Sure enough, not a smoke bomb

Manchester United's goalkeeper David De Gea.

Fullback; Valencia, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Rojo

The double back is the combination Herrera + Kante that has gradually been fixed.

Midfielders, Shaw, Mata, Rashford.

The striker is Wayne Rooney.

Manchester City, on the other hand, can be said to be the best of the best!

Manuel Pellegrini can't stand the fact that he has just been a spare tire for Pep Guardiola to finish the season.

Even if he leaves at the end of the season, he wants to prove himself!

Let Pep Guardiola do it again – and find out when it's time for a new team. Ay. Last season, before you came, we were champions! And it's a triple crown!

Although this goal seems a bit mysterious now, especially with the sudden rise of Manchester United.

Therefore, this game is especially important.

Goalkeeper, Great Britain's No. 1 goal, World Cup winner, Joe Hart!

Defenders: Sagna, Otamendi, Kompany, Kolarov.

At the back is the Brazilian double fee - Fernandinho + Yaya Toure.

Midfielders, De Bruyne, Raheem Sterling, David Silva.

The one who has been in good form this season is Sergio Aguero!

Standing in the players' tunnel, Xiao Wen, who was at the front of the Manchester United players, held the little caddy's hand, and was in a calm mood.

The little girl looked up at Xiao Wen, her red face was covered with sweat-soaked hair, and her smiling eyes were still filled with excitement and happiness before seeing her idol.

"Don't be nervous, just follow me." Xiao Wen bent down and wiped the sweat of the little girl with the long-sleeved cuffs of the jersey with his right hand.

"Hmm." The little girl nodded heavily.

The group followed the referee Mike Dean to the court, and the sound of the tsunami was many decibels higher than the usual game. This is a bit of a city derby.

Above the fixed stands, Sir Bobby Charlton and Sir Alex Ferguson were already in place. Ferguson was looking at the situation in the stadium with the people next to him, and he was indescribably arrogant.

Now, Manchester United also has such confidence!

When he was in charge, Ferguson did not have any game to say that he was absolutely confident that he could win the game.

However, this season, after Xiao asked if it was because of his age, Ferguson wondered if it was because of his age. It's actually superstitious - as long as Xiao Wen is there, as long as he wants to, Manchester United can't lose!

At the start of the season, Ferguson had doubts.

However, he underestimated Xiao Wen's ability and magic power after all. Now, he is full of confidence in Xiao Wen!

After the start of the game.

City's tactics are well known.

Xiao Wen is Manchester United's best form at the moment, and his position is placed on the right wing. Pellegrini's response strategy was also very clear, trying not to give Xiao a "1-on-1" chance, which was evident from the first half. First of all, Kolarov, who is the main defense of Xiao Wen, basically does not participate in the attack, squatting behind, and when Xiao Wen gets the ball, De Bruyne, Fernandinho and even Kompany will immediately come to help defend Xiao Wen, focusing on preventing him from cutting inside, Manchester City's strategy is to press Xiao Wen to death on the side, try to cut off his contact with Manchester United's central players.

In the 6th minute, Xiao Wen directly passed Kolarov and Silva 1V2 on the right side, and Fernandenio immediately came over to make up for the defense, making Xiao Wen miss the ball and go out of the bottom line, and if Xiao Wen even passed Fernandinho, Kompany is Manchester City's third line of defense. Therefore, if it really can't stop Xiao Wen, Manchester City will not hesitate to use fouls to stop his attack, and Pellegrini has obviously made a special deployment for Xiao Wen.

"It seems to be a coincidence, I didn't expect this small place to be able to bring out the bottom line continuously for a supergiant like you."

Kolarov looked at Xiao Wen, originally meant to sarcastically say a few words to Xiao Wen, but now although he is inseparable from Xiao Wen's side, he needs one or even two teammates to get Xiao Wen stuck every time. It is inverted to Xiao Wen's worth and ability.

Sergio Aguero in the front of Manchester City has been greeted by Manchester City's powerful midfielder over the years, enjoying an infinite feeding that Atletico Madrid can't enjoy. I feel that the green is so happy, and I want nothing else. And this season, he was greeted by De Bruyne very well, and even came to a single five yuan a few days ago! When he was in high spirits, he now looked sideways, but in the same city Manchester United, he saw a person he was most jealous of now.

Sergio Aguero is now clear about Xiao Wen's strength, but how a superstar develops into the top supergiant is naturally because he crushes other superstars. I have known Messi for many years, and I am used to this male girlfriend talking with strength and feet. Now looking at Xiao Wen, even Messi and Ronaldo are beaten a little doubtful about life.

Aguero was even more unhappy. So as soon as it opened, it was reported with great concentration.

It's just that Aguero understands better. Manchester City's defenders need to be more focused to keep an eye on Xiao Q.

Van Gaal strictly controls the player's every move on the pitch, but gives Xiao Wen great privilege to make any choice on the field. Everyone knows very well that the coaching staff's arrangement is to release Xiao Wen's absolute strength...

Originally, many people thought that Xiao Wen should probably take a walk.

However, after every game, Xiao Wen is still one of the dirtiest players in Manchester United's jersey.

Such a player, such a captain, how can you not love!

From the first minute, above the stands, Xiao Wen's singing never stopped.

Xiao Wen still found it difficult.

When dad is a striker, a midfielder, and even N'Golo Kante and Herrera are chased and blocked by several Manchester City attackers, he needs to drop back to catch the ball

'Wayne Rooney didn't shoot, he often missed passes and spent a lot of time dropping back, he was supposed to be a central striker for United, but he didn't threaten. It would be right to switch his place to Marcus Rashford, who is the biggest threat. ”

Carragher watched Xiao Wen keep retreating, but Rooney's repeated mistakes in front of him couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile.

Another guest, Alan Shearer, was also puzzled: "Can anyone explain it to me? Why is Wayne Rooney, with the second-highest salary in the Premier League, performing so badly? The contrast is too great, and it's shocking. ”

As he spoke, on the left, Kolarov whipped in a brilliant free-kick and Otamendi was ready to shoot from the edge of the box, when Rooney interfered with Otamendi with his body and made a very clever defence.

Neville also had to shake his head and said: "This is Rooney's best picture so far in this game, and he still has to be praised for his aggressive defense." ”

Yes, his professional attitude is indeed unquestionable. But as the former captain and former top name of Manchester United, and as the second-highest paid player in the Premier League, it would obviously be a great irony if Wayne Rooney's game-only attitude could be praised.

Neville also knows that Rooney has fallen to the lowest point of his career this season, and perhaps has to accept the reality that Rooney is really not suitable to play as a starter.

Shearer followed up with criticism and his own opinion: "Wayne Rooney is 30 years old, his physical function is already declining, it is difficult for him to be the same as before in the center forward position, his position should be retreated. ”

"Perhaps. Only Xiao Wen can lead them. Neville sighed.

Carragher disagreed: "In front of a slightly weaker team. Xiao asked if he could still move. But City's midfielders are too strong. So strong that Xiao Wen couldn't make the other players relax and play with his rhythm! ”

Plainly. Even Xiao Wen can't make these rotten teammates better.

Xiao Wen played a little struggling in the first twenty minutes. This is the norm.

After playing nine games in the Premier League, Xiao Wen understands the truth that the opponent's wild man has to be wilder, and Manchester City's old fritters undoubtedly understand this, so today is more ferocious than other games.

Within 20 minutes, both sides had already received two yellow cards each.

Rao is like this, and the gloomy anger on everyone's faces is not hidden.

Xiao Wen cruised to the middle lane. Looking at Yaya Toure in front of him, he thought to himself that he still had to run a little more to get rid of the entanglement of these people......

Yaya Toure had a gloomy face, lowered his voice gloomily, and said to Xiao Wen: "Don't think about it, someone will follow you wherever you go in this game." ”

Xiao Wen ignored him, and every time he passed by a Manchester United teammate, he would say, come on and relax, we can handle it. Whether it's Mata, Marcus Rashford or Wayne Rooney!

Twenty-fifth minute.

City's attack was cut off by N'Golo Kante.

Xiao Wen began to press forward, and at the same time, Rooney retreated to the position of the middle circle arc to make a transfer station.

Rashford saw Shaw come up and was about to hesitate to fill in the original position of the center forward Rooney.

Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Wen shouted, "Don't hesitate! Forward! Get past these old guys if you have a chance! Knock on the door when you get the chance! Let it go! ”

Rashford was shocked and ran forward.

Xiao asked Labian

N'Golo Kante passes the ball to Mata

Juan Mata stopped and above the halfway line, past Silva

In the process of dribbling forward, Fernandinho and De Bruyne wanted to make a clearance.

Xiao Wen had already run to the sideline, his eyes narrowed, and when he saw that Rashford was still in place, he roared angrily: "Run!" ”

Marcus Rashford cut diagonally into the box, waited a little on the spot, and Mata gave the ball!

Otamendi saw Rashford and pounced.

The Argentine made the mistake of knowing that Rashford was a stunned young man, but he didn't know that Xiao Wen had singled out Rashford in training and coached him.

"Don't rush! Let the opponent make the move first, and then you still have time to react or protect the ball! ”

Rashford has always kept Xiao Wen's teachings in mind

When Otamendi pounced, he nudged with his right foot and the ball passed under his crotch and into the box!

Kompany was dumbfounded. This young man!

They knew how to make Xiao Wen feel angry and helpless, but they forgot what it cost to focus all their attention on Xiao Wen.

Otamendi paid for being crotched and messed up. Xiao Wen still just quietly squinted at Rashford, who had entered the penalty area.

Facing Joe Hart, Rashford showed composure befitting his age and fired into the far corner!

The West Stand was overturned almost instantaneously, and Marcus Rashford, who was in full swing, scored in the derby!

"Oh!!! It was a Manchester United goal without Xiao Wen's involvement! Incredible! Mata's dribble and pass, Rashford's calm push! 1:0!Who said Xiao Wen can't make his teammates better! Look at Luke Shaw, look at Marcus Rashford! Look at Mata! ”

Marcus Rashford turned to Juan Mata after the goal, picked him up and roared. Then he turned his head and saw Xiao and asked, "I did it!" Top dog! I did it! Exercise! I fucking did! ”

At Manchester United, speaking English with some Chinese seems to be a trend now.

Rashford exploded directly in the excitement.

Without Xiao Wen's encouragement, he wouldn't be so resolute in this ball!

"Well done! Lad! ”

Others, Xiao Wen can't say that, after all, Lingard Januzaj is a young player like Manchester United who is older than him... But Marcus Rashford is really smaller than him.

Rashford actually cried or rather, overexcited, moistened his eyes: "I can do it." I can really do it! Damn it! ”

Xiao Wen hugged the big boy who was slightly out of control, showing the duty of a captain: "Come on!" One more! ”

The whole Old Trafford has been plunged into a sea of frenzy with fans shouting all sorts of names. With the exception of David De Gea, every United player rushed to the celebrations.

Such a gesture of unity made Ferguson, who was standing and applauding in the stands, very moved. "Well, there's hope!"

Manchester City's players are gritting their teeth more and more.

Restarting, Xiao Wen didn't pay attention to the eyes behind him at all, this is his territory!

Whether it is self-confidence or arrogance, Xiao Wen will not pay attention to the nonsense of Manchester City players in his ears, what other people's opinions and emotions hold about him, it will not affect him, and being cursed behind his back will not give him a headache, as long as he can get the ball into the opponent's goal on the field.

In the twenty-fifth minute, Manchester United made a comeback!

Xiao Wen received the football knocked back by Mata on the left side, leaned on De Bruyne from the left side, cut all the way, dribbled the ball for nearly ten meters, until Fernandinho in the middle made up for it and tried to break the ball, and passed the ball with an outside instep with his right foot!

Outer instep, see outer instep again!

Damn it. Pellegrini suddenly felt bad on the sidelines.

However, the ball was passed to Valencia's feet.

That's okay some tiles don't shoot.. Just know a guy who accelerates the flat cross from the outside. Nothing threatening.

Manuel Pellegrini thought so.

Unexpectedly, Valencia didn't know what medicine she had taken wrong.

He was on the edge of the big penalty area, facing Kolarov, and actually took the ball in with his right foot and entered the penalty area, Kolarov was horrified in his heart, and directly fell to the ground to block, but before that, Valencia had already burst with his left foot!

The soccer ball flies straight to the top left corner of the goal. Corner!

Joe Hart flew and pounced, helpless!

In the stands, Ferguson, who stood up suddenly, did not make a sound.

As a manager who has coached Valencia for several years, he is perhaps the most knowledgeable manager in the world about Valencia's characteristics!

Can Valencia score with their left foot?

He would rather believe that Ashley Young could be a biology teacher!

Can be biased.

And so it happened!

2:0！

Manchester United's terrifying period of time changed the score to 2:0!

Moreover, none of these two goals were scored by Xiao Wen!

Neville smiled lightly and looked at Carragher and Alan Shearer: "Xiao asked, there are too many balls. Maybe it's a bit unfair to the other players! How could this be a goal scored by Xiao Wen! ”

Hahaha.

Neville laughed a little wildly, "There is no doubt about it! Xiao Wen can take his teammates up a notch! He attracts all the attention of the other team, and in this case, the other teammates just have to do their part! Of course, Valencia is a bit out of the ordinary. ”

Valencia rushed to Xiao and asked, and carried him up!

At this moment, Xiao Wen knew that he was in the heart of this Manchester United veteran.

Finally recognized!
