2011年10月23日，2011-2012赛季英超联赛第9轮迎来曼彻斯特德比，卫冕冠军曼联队坐镇老特拉福德球场对阵曼城队。
In the first half of this campaign, Balotelli opened the scoring for Manchester City. After scoring, Balotelli showed off the slogan inside his jersey - "Why always me?". This announcement that shocked the world also stunned the fans at the scene and in front of the TV. .
In the 60th minute of the rematch, Balotelli scored another goal, and then Aguero rewritten the score to 3-0. Manchester United got a goal back in the 81st minute, but the game reached its climax in the final stages. David Silva passed and shot, Dzeko scored twice, and Manchester City finally swept Manchester United 6:1, giving Old Trafford victory. Rufford handed one of the most humiliating defeats in history and won the first Premier League title in team history.
This game was also largely regarded as the end of Ferguson and his Manchester United red dynasty. Although Ferguson regained the Premier League title a year later in the 2012-2013 season, in the eyes of many people, it was just Manchester United and Ferguson are just returning to glory.
On the evening of April 2017, 4, in the 26th round of the 2016-2017 Premier League season, Mourinho led the Manchester United team that had just undergone reorganization and visited the Etihad Stadium as a guest. Bruno performed on his own. He scored a hat-trick, sent an assist, orchestrated a goal, and scored five goals by himself. He was on par with the legend and avenged Old Trafford.
"The Guardian" is very sure that last night's Manchester City Derby will be another landmark classic battle, because it will witness the revival of Manchester United, which has been in decline for many years, and open up a new dynasty era.
"After this battle, Bruno will become the unshakable king of Dream Theater!"
………………
In addition to praising Bruno who scored a hat trick, this Manchester United mouthpiece newspaper also wrote another game review article, focusing on analyzing the formation of the two teams in this game.
They believe that Mourinho's team played better tactics in the first half, restraining Manchester City's offense and passing and ball penetration, especially the double midfielder, Fellaini and Kante's presence on the team. The defense line protection is quite good.
"Manchester City made serious mistakes from the beginning of the game. They were too anxious at the tactical level to defeat their opponents, repeat the original 6:1 victory, and reverse the unfavorable situation of competing for a Champions League spot. But on the other hand, they Lack of sufficient vigilance.”
"Yaya Toure's foul on Bruno changed the trend of the entire game. Before that, Manchester City had an absolute advantage, but this time it seemed like a harmless foul, but Bruno relied on an outstanding free kick. Skilled and successfully turned around a good opportunity to score a goal for Manchester United.”
"Circumstances create heroes, but heroes often also create situations. Bruno's direct free kick is the best proof. He successfully relied on his own efforts to pull the game into a favorable trajectory for Manchester United, and then Manchester City appeared continuously. After making mistakes, Manchester United seized the opportunity again and again to score goals.”
"It can be said that after falling behind 0:3 in the first half, Manchester City has basically lost hope of winning."
………………
"At halftime, Guardiola made adjustments, but they still did not give up. He must have asked his players to open up more offensive space on the wing. At the beginning of the second half, Manchester City was indeed at one point. It will broaden the team’s space a little bit, especially on the two wings.”
"But at this moment, perhaps due to the huge pressure on the team, or perhaps a subconscious move, Yaya Toure made a stupid handball foul and received a second yellow card, which resulted in him being sent off with a red card. This This left Manchester City with one less player than Manchester United for more than half an hour."
"At this point in the game, it was completely clear that Manchester United would win, and the difference was how many goals Manchester City would lose, and whether they could score a goal at home and save face. But the sad thing is, The final result was that Manchester City didn’t score a single goal and scored five goals!”
"The Guardian" believes that this is the game where Manchester United truly played its best level this season, allowing everyone to see the outstanding personal abilities of Manchester United's frontcourt stars, as well as the powerful team offensive ability.
"This may not be a perfect game, but it is definitely a peak matchup of the highest level. Manchester United can beat Manchester City 5-0 in such a matchup, which is enough to prove its strength and potential."
But the "Guardian" also reminded everyone, "The score does not mean everything. Manchester City tonight is not the unstoppable Manchester City we remember. They created opportunities, but failed to seize them."
………………
In addition to the "Guardian", another well-known newspaper in Manchester, the "Manchester Evening News", also covered this Manchester City Derby in a large area.
Regarding Bruno's hat trick and five goals, the "Manchester Evening News" also praised Bruno's performance last night in a lengthy article, believing that he led Manchester United to conquer the Etihad Stadium in the away game and won a game in Manchester United's history. Xanadu is a classic peak showdown.
"Manchester Evening News" even believed: "With this battle at the Etihad, Bruno is enough to join the ranks of Manchester United legends, just like Kanchelski back then!"
At the same time, the "Manchester Evening News" also believed that in addition to winning 5:0, Manchester United also found a way to restrain Manchester City because they dared to attack Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
"Although in terms of ball possession rate, Manchester City has 62%, which is higher than Manchester United's 38%, but Manchester United's efficiency is obviously higher. They created 18 shots in the game and eight of them were on target. Five goals were scored, and Manchester City created nine shots in the game, only three of which were on target.”
………………
The "Manchester Evening News" also analyzed that before and after Yaya Toure's red card, Manchester City's overall ball possession rate did not change much, which proves Mourinho's game strategy and attitude.
<divclass="contentadv">"Facts have proved that Manchester United's concept in this game is correct. They did not compete with Manchester City for possession of the ball, but they did a better and better job in transitioning offense and defense. This allowed Manchester City to play very well. Embarrassing, the situation seems to be taking the initiative, but in fact it is slow to create a threat. "
The "Manchester Evening News" also believes that in addition to the ball possession rate and passing success rate, Manchester United is very close to Manchester City in terms of tackles, fouls, and corner kicks. Only the number of offsides, Manchester City has more. Obviously, the home team has repeatedly fallen into Manchester United's offside trap.
"Manchester United had twice as many shots as Manchester City, which proves that Manchester United is more efficient in attacking transitions."
As Bruno's opponent, Aguero continued his unsatisfactory performance in this game. Although he worked hard and had a wide range of activities, he was never able to find his best form.
This has a lot to do with the fact that Mourinho arranged for Kanter and Fellaini to focus on taking care of him. The Argentine striker not only has to face the defense of Maguire, the tall and powerful Manchester United central defender, but also has to face the encirclement and suppression of Kante and Fellaini at all times.
………………
The five-goal victory over Manchester City made the atmosphere at the Carrington training base very festive. The players, coaches and staff were all smiling. Even the aggressive-looking security guards at the gate were smiling. It was indescribable. kind.
There is overwhelming praise outside, as if Manchester United has won the Premier League championship ahead of schedule after defeating Manchester City. In fact, there are still six rounds left in the league, and Manchester United only has a 7-point advantage over Chelsea.
You know, in the 2011-2012 season, when there were only 6 rounds left in the league, Manchester United still had an 8-point advantage over Manchester City, but in the end they lost the league championship.
But at this moment, almost everyone has forgotten that period of history. Almost all media and fans used extremely beautiful words to describe this Manchester United game.
But that history, as well as the long injury list, made Bruno feel a shadow again.
After the game against Manchester City, Manchester United officially announced Ibrahimovic's injury. The Manchester United forward suffered a severe tear of his knee cruciate ligament. Not only did he bid farewell to the 2016-2017 season in advance, but he was also reimbursed in advance for 2017. He would have to wait until January 2018 at the earliest. Comeback.
Injuries are the natural enemy of all professional players.
For Ibrahimovic, who is about to turn 36, this is something that may change his career, and everyone feels a chill from this incident.
God knows when he was injured like Ibrahimovic?
………………
As a time traveler, Bruno knows that Ibrahimovic's career has not ended because of this, but the impact of this incident on Ibrahimovic is also very large.
On the football field, you can't avoid this kind of thing even if you want to.
This is especially true for Bruno. In almost every game, he is focused on by his opponents, and at the same time, he uses all means to stop him. He kicks, kicks, pulls, drags... all opponents use every possible means to deal with him. .
What can he do?
Fear and timidity will only make him lose himself. Is that still Bruno?
Everyone present is a professional player. Whether it is Ibrahimovic today or someone else tomorrow, as long as they hear about injuries, everyone will feel uncomfortable because no one knows whether they will be unlucky enough to become a professional player. Next.
And Bruno told himself more firmly in his heart that he would never give up no matter what!
Injuries and aging are like two big mountains that always weigh on the minds of professional players, but precisely because of this, he must work harder, be more diligent, and be stronger.
He knew very well that weakness and timidity would have no effect on them and would only make them worse.
The fairest thing in this world is death. Everyone dies and life is like a journey to the grave. But because of this, we should cherish every day of our lives.
The same is true for the career of a football player. No one can continue playing on the football field forever. There will definitely be a day when he leaves.
Therefore, Bruno cherishes every day that he can still play football healthily more than anyone else.
