"Champions are ready to defend the Champions League again! 》

"Terrifying strength, the Europa League champion is not a one-in-one enemy!" 》

"Wong Saren, are you ready to take on Manchester City? 》

After the game, the British media turned on the touting mode, blowing Manchester City almost to the sky.

The important thing in this game is not the score, although the score of 4:0 is also a big score in the Champions League, it is not uncommon in the group stage.

And although the opponent's identity is the champion of the Europa League, it is not a giant after all, it can only be regarded as a strong team in La Liga, and it can't even enter the top three in the league.

So Manchester City's victory over them, in fact, there is nothing to brag about, it is purely a crushing of hard power.

What the media is really touting is the confident and calm king mentality exuded by Pep Guardiola's Manchester City team from top to bottom.

Their players are calm and relaxed on the pitch, and that form has allowed them to perform better and better and to bring out their full potential.

Manchester City's strength on paper is already terrifying in itself, and coupled with Pep Guardiola's tactics and the state of the players, it is too difficult to beat them!

There are really not many teams in the whole football world that can beat them, and there is a certain hope that Huang Saren and Atletico Madrid can beat them.

But in the eyes of the British, if these teams can't play at a super level, the odds of winning against such Manchester City are very low, and I am afraid it will not exceed 4 percent.

As for the other teams?

Greater Paris?

Old woman?

Or Manchester United, Chelsea?

These are not at the same level as Manchester City at all, and the strength on paper is a lot worse than Manchester City, even if it is a hot seed, it may not be able to win, so let's wash and sleep!

In the process of touting it, the British media is suspected of belittling other league teams.

So after their report came out, it immediately attracted a counterattack from the media of other countries.

Bild: "Man City are really strong, but football is round and anything is possible on the pitch.

What's more, this season, under the tutelage of Heynckes, Bayern Munich's strength is stronger than last season, and the 12 consecutive wins in the league and the Champions League are proof, as the only two teams in the five major leagues that still maintain a winning streak, Bayern definitely has the strength to challenge Manchester City! ”

Although he has faded out of football for a year and a half, the skills of the old coach Heynckes have not diminished at all.

After returning to the Allianz Arena, he combined his tactics with those left by Pep Guardiola at Bayern to create a more efficient and attacking tactical style of play, making Bayern unstoppable in both the league and the Champions League!

In the third round of the just-concluded Champions League group stage, Bayern visited the Emirates Stadium and chased five goals after Arsenal scored two goals in a row at the beginning, and finally defeated the Gunners 5:2 and gave the opponent three consecutive defeats.

This team not only has stronger firepower, but also has strengthened fighting spirit and resilience.

They are the kind of team that is strong when they are strong, and the stronger the opponent, the more they can motivate them.

What's more, Bayern is no stranger to Lin Quan and Pep Guardiola, and it is indeed the team most likely to beat Manchester City.

In addition to Bayern's dissatisfaction, Real Madrid's mouthpiece Maca newspaper also immediately issued a rebuttal:

"Real Madrid has not tasted defeat in the league and the Champions League this season, and under the tutelage of Zidane, the whole team is getting better, Benzema, Rodriguez, Ronaldo, Bale and others are back to the top, especially Ronaldo, his performance in the league and the Champions League is not lost to Lin Quan at all, and even pressed Lin Quan.

Considering that Manchester City have won two Champions League titles in a row, the players' hunger for glory and title is certainly not as good as that of Real Madrid's group of players.

Real Madrid's longing and desire for the 10th Champions League trophy in the team's history is definitely not something that Manchester people can experience! ”

While Bayern and Real Madrid stood up to express their disobedience, Barcelona on the Catalan side was unusually quiet.

This summer, Neymar's departure hit Barcelona hard, coupled with the injury wave that broke out in the team, leaving Barcelona full of injuries.

The most serious thing is that Messi, the core of Barcelona, was also injured, and at the end of last month, in Barca's home game against Las Palmas, Messi left the field injured after only three minutes.

After the game, the hospital diagnosed a torn ligament in his left knee, which is a serious injury, and it is conservatively estimated that Messi will be out for 7 to 8 weeks due to the injury.

Messi's injury has greatly reduced Barcelona's strength, and only the lone Suarez is left in the front court to support him.

Not only that, but because of the illegal recruitment of young players in the La Masia Academy, Barcelona was severely punished by FIFA - no transfers can be made within a year!

This summer, they failed to bring in Lin Quan, in addition to Lin Quan's desire to return to Camp Nou, another reason was that he was punished by FIFA.

According to inside information, FIFA believes that Barcelona still has a lot of irregularities in the youth training, so the punishment may continue to be added, if this is true, then Barcelona can be said to be unlucky.

Speaking of Barcelona's luck, if this transfer ban had come a few days earlier, Neymar would not have been able to leave, if Neymar had not left, now that Messi is injured, at least he and Suarez can be counted on to carry the team forward.

But Neymar is gone, and although Suarez is very strong, he is difficult to support alone, which makes Barcelona's record during this period very bad.

After Lionel Messi retired from injury, they lost the league to Sevilla, who had just been beaten by Manchester City.

Taking Sevilla as a reference, Manchester City can beat them without any resistance, while Barcelona was easily won by them, and the current strength gap between the two teams is actually very large.

With the team's situation so grim, Barcelona has no confidence or the heart to mix in this troubled water.

Although the British media brags that they don't make a draft, only Bayern and Real Madrid dare to stand up and refute it, which is enough to explain the problem.

……

On October 25, the 10th round of the Premier League is about to start.

The highlight of the round was Manchester City's visit to Old Trafford and Manchester United's Manchester derby.

The rain is coming, and in the face of such a strong Manchester City, the Red Devils are all worried and dare not speak too loudly.

"We're going to win this game, right?"

The Red Devils fans themselves are not confident and are trying to keep warm with each other.

"Maybe? After all, our coach is Jose Mourinho, who has led the team to many victories over Pep Guardiola, and can be called the best at playing Pep Guardiola! ”

At present, Manchester United, whether it is the team's lineup or the state of the players, is not as good as Manchester City next door.

The only thing that is commendable is probably that the coaching level of their two teams is about the same, one level.

And Mourinho once led Inter Milan to eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League, preventing Barcelona from achieving the hegemony of the Champions League three times in a row.

After that, he joined Real Madrid, and Pep Guardiola, who once played, went away, and Barcelona's Dream Three Dynasty almost ended directly.

With Mourinho's record, Red Devils fans can't help but have a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Let's hope he can do it again!

However, Red Devils fans seem to remember only Mourinho's achievements under Inter and Real Madrid, completely forgetting his series of heavy defeats against Manchester City during his Chelsea days.

Compared with the nervous Manchester United fans, the Manchester City fans next door are much more relaxed.

The media touted them a little fluttering, and the team's solid strength and brilliant record made them feel extra relieved.

Although just a few years ago, Manchester United was an opponent that made Manchester City feel awe-inspiring and even terrifying.

In the all-time meeting statistics between the two sides, Manchester United hold an overwhelming lead.

However, the historical data that is too old is not of much reference value after all, and if you only consider the results of the two teams in the past five years, then Manchester City is completely true.

Even, after they brought in Lin Quan, they didn't lose against Manchester United.

Lin Quan's hat-trick at Old Trafford and his imitation of Cantona's celebration have greatly boosted the self-confidence of countless Manchester City fans, allowing them to completely let go of their fear of Manchester United with a historical filter.

And now, Manchester City's strength has been further improved, and Manchester United next door is no longer the Premier League hegemon after several years of chaos.

So what else is there to be afraid of?

All they have to do now is kick Manchester United off the throne completely.

Manchester City have won two consecutive Premier League titles over the past two seasons and if they can defend their title this year, they will be able to start a dynasty of their own.

Manchester United's 20-year history of dominating the Premier League will come to an end once and for all!

And in such a critical season, the battle between the Blue Moon and the Red Devils can be described as an important symbol of the alternation of royal power.

With such an important game, Manchester City fans are reluctant to be absent, frantically snapping up tickets for Old Trafford, wanting to go to the home stadium of their sworn enemies to witness their defeat at their own feet!

Over the past few years, as Manchester City's results have improved year by year, especially after they won the Champions League twice, their influence around the world has increased significantly.

As a result, Manchester City's fan base around the world began to expand rapidly.

In the past year, more and more overseas fans have chosen to watch the game at the Etihad Stadium.

And such a significant game as the Manchester derby is naturally not to be missed for these overseas fans.

As a result, some qualified overseas fans also bought tickets through various channels as early as possible, and under the scramble of many parties, they directly fried the tickets for this game to the sky, and the price increased by five times or even ten times compared with usual.

Some Manchester United fans, who have lost faith in the home team, can't even resist the temptation of ticket sellers, and sell their tickets to scalpers at a high price.

Probably because they feel that Manchester United can't win at home, and instead of spending money to see the home team being abused, it is better to sell tickets for two beers to soothe their injured hearts, right?

However, such fans are in the minority, and the majority of Red Devils fans still insist on supporting their own team at home.

At the start of the game, the 76,000-seat Old Trafford stadium was packed.

The fans who came to the scene tacitly put on the jerseys of both teams, and the red sky was the main color of the Old Trafford stadium today.

Compared to the sea of red that filled the audience, a small patch of blue in the red seemed so weak and helpless.

Before the game even started, the fans of both sides were already fighting.

The fans on both sides sprayed each other through the barrier, and some trolls felt that spraying with their mouths alone was not enough, and rolled up their sleeves to settle the dispute with their fists.

Fortunately, the security personnel at the scene and the police who maintained order completely separated the fans on both sides, and did not give them the opportunity to hurt each other.

The Manchester derby is already very hot, and with the rise of Manchester City in recent years, the game between the two teams has become more popular than ever.

As the highlight of this round, this match was specially selected to be broadcast live to the world in prime time.

The Premier League and the FA mean to use this kind of exciting, high-level competition to attract more overseas fans to the Premier League, not for them to watch the Premier League's football hooligans fight each other.

After the coaches of the two teams entered, Mourinho took the initiative to walk towards Guardiola and shook hands with each other expressionlessly, without greeting each other.

Pep Guardiola was also expressionless, reaching out to shake hands in a businesslike manner, and then each returned to their dugouts to sit down.

Although the two are old rivals on the court, they seem to have no friendship with each other.

In fact, when the two worked together at Barcelona in the early years, they used to be very good friends.

But it all ended after the two parted ways!

In the eyes of the media and fans, these two are two extremes.

Pep Guardiola is low-key and humble, while Mourinho is arrogant.

Pep Guardiola is a sharp spear and worships attack.

Mourinho, on the other hand, is a solid shield and keen to defend.

The collision of the two is undoubtedly a battle between spear and shield.

In the past five years, the two have played each other with a win-loss record, and neither has achieved an overwhelming advantage.

So this duel continues until one of them is completely defeated.

However, when people saw the formation and starting line-up for this game, they were dumbfounded.

"Is there a mistake in the name? Manchester City actually went on three back midfielders? ”

The tactic of three backs, this is Mourinho's forte when he was at Real Madrid.

When facing Barcelona, who was invincible in passing and control, Mourinho likes to send a back three to strengthen the competition for the midfield, thus destroying the smooth operation of the opponent's passing and control system.

This tactic had some effect, but it was not obvious.

And now, Guardiola took the lead and used Mourinho's tricks, which surprised the fans, this is not Guardiola's style!

While surprised, everyone is also looking forward to Mourinho's coping strategy.
