Chapter 189 Manchester City Derby, Guardiola came to the scene
After the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, supporters of various teams and fans of some stars started heated discussions on the Internet.
"The Premier League and La Liga are still strong. This record is far behind other leagues!"
"The Premier League is indeed strong. In terms of La Liga, except for Barcelona and Real Madrid, the others are not so good!"
"Hehe, don't look down on the teams in the middle of La Liga. If you encounter Atletico Madrid in the knockout stage, the teams in the Premier League may not be sure to win."
"Indeed, I watch both La Liga and the Premier League. This Atletico Madrid team in the hands of Simeone does have something, very similar to Dortmund before!"
When it comes to Atletico Madrid, fans of the Premier League, especially Chelsea, are speechless.
Atletico Madrid beat Chelsea 4-1 in last year's UEFA Super Cup.
Not only snatched the Super Cup trophy from the Champions League champion, but also created the most disparate score in the European Super Cup in the past 20 years.
This score is enough to prove the strength of Atletico Madrid. If it is underestimated, it is likely to pay a heavy price.
Thinking of Chelsea's loss in the group stage to Basel, which was considered a big belly before the game, the fans of the Premier League became very angry, and their confidence in speaking became much weaker.
It's hard to say about the other three teams, but with Chelsea's current state, they might be deflated when they meet Atletico Madrid again.
In addition to the war of words between the fans of the Premier League and La Liga who are competing for the world's first league, fans of some stars have also set off quarrels on the Internet.
"I, Luo Weiwu, performed a hat-trick in 10 minutes, awesome!"
"Correction, Ronaldo didn't take 30 minutes to complete his hat-trick, it actually only took 28 minutes!"
"As expected of Ronaldo, this scoring efficiency is not too much to say that it is the best in today's football?"
"That must be true. With Bale's support this season, Real Madrid's Champions League is definitely a deal!"
Ronaldo's fans touted their own star, and Messi's fans on the opposite side were not far behind.
"Isn't it just a hat-trick? What's so great about it? Messi also performed the miracle of five sons in the Champions League last year!"
"Hehe, low-key low-key, as the only player in the history of the Champions League who scored five dollars in a single game, we must keep a low profile, and don't let the fans of a certain diving player think that we are targeting him, after all, this is something they can't do in their entire lives Feat!"
"Upstairs, who is the diving player, can you make it clear?"
"There are so many players in the five major leagues, and I didn't name them. It's yourselves who checked the numbers. Is it my fault?"
"This is the quality of shorty fans. If you have the ability to beat Real Madrid on the field, what kind of hero is a personal attack?"
"Heavenly, if you say someone is attacking you personally, then what are you doing?"
……
Other fans have long been familiar with the quarrel between Messi and Ronaldo fans. For this kind of dispute, they don't want to intervene. They just want to find a quiet place to continue talking about football.
"Having said that, Lin Huang's performance in this game is not good!"
"One pass and one shot, isn't this performance not enough? Isn't the requirement a bit high?"
"Indeed, this performance is already very good!"
"But compared to the level of Messi and Ronaldo, it is still a little bit worse. Both of them have completed hat-tricks!"
The fans seem to be a little dissatisfied with Lin Quan's performance, especially under the premise that the peerless double prides have staged hat-tricks one after another, his passing and shooting are a bit inferior compared to the opponent.
"The group stage is still a long time away. One game means nothing. As long as Linhuang continues to play at the current pace, goals will be indispensable!"
"You can't just watch the Champions League, but also watch the league together. Lin Huang scored a total of 8 goals in the four rounds of the Premier League. Correspondingly, Messi only scored 6 goals and Ronaldo only 2 goals. His goals The number of balls is equal to the combined total of the two peers!"
"Hey, is Lin Huang so fierce? But Ronaldo's goals are a bit low? Only two goals in 4 rounds of the league?"
"Benzema has grown a lot this season, he scored two goals in the league.
The joining of Isco and Bell also took away part of the right to fire. Among them, Isco scored 3 goals and Bell scored 1 goal. "
"Yes, Real Madrid's front lineup is too luxurious, they don't rely on Ronaldo as much as before, which may be a good thing for Ronaldo and Real Madrid.
At least Ronaldo can focus more on the Champions League! "
"So it seems that Real Madrid has a good chance in the Champions League this season?"
"Doesn't Ancelotti have the title of champion expert? He came to Real Madrid, maybe he can really lead Real Madrid to the Champions League!"
……
With the end of the first round of the group stage, various experts and gambling companies have made some adjustments to the odds of winning the Champions League this season.
Real Madrid's winning odds have risen to the first place, surpassing the defending champion Bayern Munich.
Barcelona's ranking has not changed, it is still No.3.
In the Premier League, due to an unexpected loss in the first round, Chelsea's ranking dropped to No.9.
Manchester United's ranking has also dropped, ranking No.7.
On the contrary, Manchester City, with their five consecutive victories in the league and the Champions League group stage, their ranking has risen to No. 4, but they have become the highest odds of winning the Premier League team.
But it's just one round of competition, it's still too early to talk about winning the championship.
After the Champions League group stage, Manchester City returned home with a big victory, ready to meet the challenge of Manchester United.
This city derby is the most important game in this round of Premier League games.
Considering the importance of this game and the reason why Manchester United and Manchester City have a large number of fans overseas, the Premier League has scheduled this game to be held at three o'clock in the afternoon.
In this way, fans overseas, especially in Asia, can watch the game at prime time at night.
It has to be said that compared with other leagues, the Premier League is indeed a bit more flexible in this regard.
They will take care of overseas audiences more, which is very good for the promotion of the event.
After all, according to the seven-hour time difference.
If the game is scheduled for around 07:30 in the evening, then the Asian side will go to two or three o'clock in the morning.
Who still watches football at this point, they have already gone to bed.
Of course, other leagues will learn from their approach, and La Liga later learned this trick.
The game was held in the afternoon, and overseas audiences were indeed taken care of, but for the players of the two teams, this was not good news.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has not yet set, and one of the two teams will have to face the sun's rays during the game, which will have a great impact on the players.
On the contrary, the team with their backs to the sun can take advantage of it!
Before the game, Manchester United players shouted on the Internet, hoping that the Red Devils fans could go to the scene to support them and witness their capture of the Etihad Stadium.
Rooney said: "Manchester will always be the world of the Red Devils, and Manchester City? It's just a noisy neighbor!"
Rooney criticized Manchester City as an upstart, without the background of a wealthy family, Manchester United is the orthodoxy of Manchester.
Van Persie posted: "Manchester City? They do have some good players, but as a whole, my teammates and I are obviously stronger!"
Van Persie is also criticizing Manchester City's gold dollar policy, thinking that Manchester City has a bunch of good players, but no matching honors.
The Manchester United players fired the first shot, so the Manchester City players naturally couldn't just sit idly by.
Aguero tweeted on social media: "I have a strong hunch that I will score today, and more than one!"
Yaya Toure said: "Red Devils? That's long past tense, now it's the world of blue moons!"
Kompany said: "I will freeze Manchester United's forwards with my teammates. Whether it is Rooney or Van Persie, it is impossible to score goals at the Etihad Stadium!"
The teammates had already finished their harsh words, so Lin Quan didn't join in the fun.
He uploaded a bird's-eye view of the Etihad Stadium, and wrote: "Tomorrow afternoon, Etihad Stadium, see you there!"
……
The smell of gunpowder between the two teams is very strong, and the derby in the same city is already very popular.
So the media on Fleet Street, like sharks smelling blood, began to hype the grievances between the two teams.
This is the 166th Manchester Derby. Due to the strength of Manchester United, before 2010, Manchester City had almost no chance of winning. Manchester United was in an overwhelming lead in the game between the two teams.
However, after 2010, with the entry of the Middle East consortium.
Manchester City began to rise, and the results of the rematch between the two sides began to reverse.
In the last 7 matches, Manchester City won 4 games.
In the matchup at Old Trafford 2 years ago, Manchester City even bloodbathed Manchester United with a score of 6:1.
It can be said that the offensive and defensive momentum between the two teams has completely changed, and Manchester United will no longer be as brave as it used to be.
It is definitely not an easy task for them to win Manchester City, let alone fighting at Manchester City's home court.
But for Moyes, he seems to be very good at playing Manchester City.
Before he coached Manchester United, he led Everton to win nine of 12 duels, which can be said to be Manchester City's nemesis.
Therefore, when interviewed by the media before the game, Moyes said with confidence:
"Yes, I have found a way to deal with Manchester City, we will take three points away, I am very confident!"
When the reporters asked him what solution he had found, Moyes laughed and did not answer.
Gives a sense of mystery.
Pellegrini suspected that the other party was playing psychological warfare with him, so he was not fooled.
In an interview before the game, he said that Manchester City will insist on playing their own things, as long as they play at a normal level, then no matter who the opponent is, they have the confidence to win the game!
The response came across as low confidence to journalists.
Compared with Moyes's confidence, they felt that Pellegrini's response was not tough enough.
Therefore, before the game, many media were optimistic about Manchester United winning away.
However, there are also many experts and celebrities who are optimistic about Manchester City.
"Manchester City is in a hot state this season. They have already maintained five consecutive victories in various competitions. Although they have not encountered a wealthy team in these five consecutive victories, the gold content is not enough.
However, Manchester City's current momentum is obviously better than that of Manchester United. From the analysis of the lineup, Manchester City's lineup is not inferior to Manchester United, or even worse.
This game depends on the tactical arrangement and on-the-spot performance of the head coaches of both sides.
If Moyes really prepared some secret tactics for Manchester City as he said, then Manchester United may have a chance to win. On the contrary, Manchester City has a higher probability of winning! "
Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger expressed his optimism about Manchester United's victory, because only if Manchester United beat Manchester City, his team can reach the top of the league table.
However, Chelsea's coach Mourinho believes that Manchester United's own problems are too great to take advantage of the Etihad Stadium.
"I don't want to talk about Manchester United's midfield, but everyone can see that the midfield is the weak link of Manchester United!"
When the reporters saw Mourinho mentioning Manchester United's midfield problems, they asked him what he thought of Chelsea's serious frontal weakness this season?
After the reporter asked this question, Mourinho immediately changed his face.
He rudely interrupted the reporter's question and insisted that his team was fine.
Although that is what he said, as long as he is not blind, he can see how serious the problems on Chelsea's front line are, and it is useless to let him quibble.
Moreover, there are rumors that Chelsea is in private contact with Drogba's agent, it seems that they want to bring the former Blues Titans back to Stamford Bridge.
However, the monster Drogba is already 35 years old this year. I am afraid no one can say whether he still has fuel in his fuel tank.
Instead of relying on a veteran, Chelsea should consider introducing a genuine striker.
Dortmund's Lewandowski and Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa are both good choices, and the price is not too expensive, 5000 million pounds can definitely be bought!
However, Chelsea now have a lot of forwards, Torres, Eto'o, Schurrle, Demba Ba, William, and a future striker-the king of clubs Lukaku!
They have a lot of strikers, but they are not easy to use.
I don't know whether it is the style of the Chelsea team that limits the performance of the forwards, or whether these forwards collectively will not play after arriving at Chelsea.
……
Not only the British media are paying attention to this game, but also the media from other European countries are also paying attention to this game.
First of all, this is one of the most popular intra-city derbies in the five major leagues, and the derby is always very eye-catching.
Secondly, these two teams have participated in the Champions League. Once they break out of the group stage, teams in other leagues are likely to encounter them in the knockout stage.
Therefore, in order to prepare for the next stage of the Champions League knockout match in advance, many teams have sent scouts to the scene to watch the game up close.
After the game started, the live cameras even captured Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola in the stands.
Bayern, who will be a guest at Manchester City in the next game, is very concerned about the biggest competitor in the group.
Of course, if you just examine the opponent's state, you don't need Guardiola to go out in person.
It is enough to send a senior scout or assistant coach over to record a video of the game, there is no need to travel all the way in person.
Guardiola's personal appearance at the Etihad Stadium is easily reminiscent of his personal relationship with Lin Quan.
Probably, he not only came to watch this game as Bayern's coach, but also had personal reasons!
After being captured by the camera on the scene, Guardiola did not dodge.
He generously waved to the camera, and this scene was naturally seen by the players who were warming up on the field through the big screen on the field.
"Look, it's Bayern's head coach!"
Lin Quan happened to be practicing shooting, and turned to look at the big screen after being reminded by his teammates.
As a result, just as he looked at the big screen, the picture on the big screen switched to the scene of him looking at the big screen.
The fans at the scene let out a burst of good-natured laughter, and Lin Quan himself laughed too.
The director obviously noticed that he was staring at the big screen and did so on purpose.
Fortunately, he still saw Guardiola's position just now, so before the game started, Lin Quan walked up to the stands to say hello to Guardiola.
"Leave after watching the game?"
"Well, I have to lead the team for training tomorrow."
"What time is the flight ticket?"
"If you want to invite me to dinner, there should be enough time!"
"Okay, but I won't talk until I win the game!"
"Then come on, I'll have dinner on you tonight!"
Guardiola smiled and hugged Lin Quan, patted him on the back, and encouraged:
"Go, play well, don't feel psychological pressure just because I'm here!"
Lin Quan rolled his eyes at him:
"Don't worry, I will ignore you as air!"
"I feel sad when you say that, alas, I wanted to cheer for you, but now it seems that I have to cheer for Manchester United!"
"Hey, if you dare to do this, the Manchester City fans around you will have to beat you up!"
"It won't be so ruthless, I'm a well-known figure anyway?"
"That's even better, beat you up and they'll become famous!"
I have conjunctivitis, I wrote too slowly in the afternoon, sorry sorry!

"The Premier League and La Liga are still strong. This record is far behind other leagues!"
