Towards the end of the first half, Klose's goal gave United the lead.

This is really unexpected.

After the resumption of the game, City launched a fierce comeback in an attempt to equalise before the end of the first half.

But unfortunately, there is so little time left for them.

Glory's shot in the 44th minute was slapped off the bottom line by Van der Sar, and then City's corner kick was picked off by Van der Sar directly in the air.

Until the end of the first half, Manchester City were unable to equalise.

So at half-time, the United fans were happy, their singing was loud in the air, while the Manchester City fans were a little silent.

The players on both sides were relatively calm, whether it was Manchester United, who were leading or Manchester City, who were behind, their expressions were normal when they came off the pitch.

In particular, the Manchester City players did not have the frustration after conceding the goal, and they seemed calm when they came off the field.

Forty-five minutes to go, and what will happen in the second half, no one can say.

Everyone is a seasoned professional player, and a single ball is not enough to mess them up.

At half-time, Alex Ferguson praised the team's performance in the first half and made tactical adjustments, with United going on a counter-attack in the second half.

With a one-goal lead, City will certainly be attacking with all their might so that there will be plenty of space behind them......

These openings can be put to good use.

So in the second half, Manchester United's main attacker will no longer be Klose, who is in good form, but ...... Rooney!

Wayne Rooney has the pace, and he and Nani will be two of United's counter-attacking tools.

Klose, on the other hand, will play a feint role to deflect City's defence for Wayne Rooney. When City's players focus on Klose, Rooney will naturally be able to get more space unmarked.

That's Ferguson's wisdom.

When Klose was in great shape and had just scored a goal, he dared to abandon Klose as an attack point and let him become a feint.

Then leave the task of scoring goals to Wayne Rooney.

It's a very risky move.

Rooney has been in a slump this season due to contract extensions and other issues.

His watch at last summer's World Cup was not so good, and his return to Manchester United was still bad.

After 26 rounds of league play, Rooney has scored only five goals......

This is really miserable for Rooney, who has just completed a contract extension with Manchester United and has a weekly salary of 250,000 pounds......

But even so, Ferguson still firmly handed over the burden of scoring in the second half to Rooney.

It can be seen that the old lord's confidence.

He firmly believes that his approach will definitely catch Manchester City by surprise!

※※※

After the two sides changed sides in the second half of the game, from the field, it was similar to the first half, Manchester United and Manchester City had chances, and they were evenly matched.

Manchester City have put a heavy guard on Klose to prevent the in-form star from scoring again.

But the result of this was that Rooney was leaked.

Rooney, who played as a striker in this game, was almost invisible in the light of Klose.

But in the fifty-second minute, he suddenly came out of nowhere!

At that time, United launched a fast attack.

Nani runs wild with the ball down the wing.

Up front, Klose also ran forward as hard as he could, as if to receive Nani's cross.

Klose's header was very good, so the City defenders followed him.

But Nani slammed the ball down the middle as he was about to get to the baseline.

But it wasn't passed to Klose, who was about to run to the back point at this time, but Nani's pass was behind him!

Before the defenders of Manchester City could react, a red figure jumped high near the penalty spot in the Manchester City penalty area.

And then a very stretched upside-down golden hook in the air!

“rooooooooooooooooooooooooony！！！”

In the midst of John Mortensen's roar, Rooney's right foot kicked Nani's ball towards the goal!

Faced with such a swift and sudden barb, Joe Hart didn't even make a save before the ball was in the net!

"Oh! Wonderful! Oh! Wonderful! Oh! Incredibly great goal! John Mortenson exclaimed, as if he had climaxed.

And even more culminating than him were the Manchester United fans in the stands at Old Trafford.

The entire Theatre of Dreams could only hear the tsunami-like cheers of Manchester United fans.

"Rooney! Rooney! Rooney! Rooney!! ”

These United fans kept chanting the name of the goalscorer, Wayne Rooney.

Rooney also looked very excited, he got up from the ground, rushed to the billboard outside the baseline, then braked suddenly, spread his arms, straightened his body, raised his head, leaned back slightly, and made a gesture of listening to the hugs and cheers.

In the end, he was so intoxicated that he lay on his back and fell to the ground.

After being pressed by other excited Manchester United players.

Although Rooney made many Manchester United fans tired of his insatiable greed when he renewed his contract.

However, when Wayne Rooney announced that he had successfully renewed his contract with the club, the United fans immediately applauded him.

After all, after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney is the only player who can stand up for Manchester United at star level.

Klose's strength is good, but he is still inferior to Rooney in terms of star temperament.

Moreover, Wayne Rooney is not only the number one star of Manchester United, but also the number one star of the whole of England.

Therefore, Manchester United fans are quite happy that Rooney finally chose to stay.

Now they are even more excited to see Wayne Rooney score such a beautiful goal.

In last season's local derby between the two sides, Glory scored a very, very beautiful barb kick. That goal is considered the most beautiful goal in the Premier League in the last decade.

Now Wayne Rooney has returned him with an equally beautiful barb, and United fans are feeling the eyebrows raised.

※※※

Wayne Rooney's goal gave United a two-goal lead on their own home turf! This has been a rare occurrence in the last few meetings between the two teams - Manchester United were able to lead Manchester City by two goals! Their recent form has been really good! ”

John Mortenson said excitedly.

He's not a Manchester City fan, he's not a Manchester United fan.

But if United can beat Manchester City at home, the final Premier League title race this season will surely look very good.

He wanted to see that happen.

If it's always Manchester City who come out on top, leaving everyone behind and having no hope of catching up with them, then it's not going to be a good game either.

So he is biased towards Manchester United in his heart, hoping that Manchester United can win.

Now that Manchester United have a two-goal lead, it seems that there is really hope!

※※※

After Rooney's goal, Ferguson was even more excited than Klose's goal, and he hugged the people around him directly in the dugout, his gray hair scattered in the wind.

His cheeks flushed with excitement.

The TV broadcast gave him a close-up.

The veteran coach encountered a strong challenge from Manchester City, a sworn enemy of the same city, in the late stages of his coaching career, and he was also crushed by Manchester City in the past two seasons.

Now he's finally avenged!

During Ferguson's tenure at Manchester United, he also encountered many difficulties and was challenged by countless strong opponents. But now that he's still the manager of Manchester United, you can know that he's been through all those hurdles.

He was sacked from his short tenure at Manchester United in charge of the Reds in the early days of his tenure, only to be reinstated by beating Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup at the crucial moment.

He also once won the first Premier League title, but was snatched by Blackburn in the blink of an eye. But now Manchester United is the hegemon of the Premier League, and Blackburn has long been obscure after losing the capital support of the Iron King.

He was also challenged by Kevin Keegan's Newcastle side in the league, but Ferguson used mental tactics to bring Kevin Keegan and his team to the ground.

Arsene Wenger took charge of Arsenal and faced a decade-long rival against Arsenal, who won the league title unbeaten in every time they played against Arsenal in the entire Premier League. But now Arsenal has not won a title for many years, and Ferguson's Manchester United is still the hegemon of the Premier League.

Jose Mourinho's Chelsea was a headache for the old man, and his Manchester United team once lined up to welcome Jose Mourinho's champions. Within a few years, though, Alex Ferguson had Jose Mourinho and Chelsea welcome champions Manchester United through the exit lane.

So many difficulties, Ferguson came over, and always in the posture of a winner.

Now, perhaps, the threat posed to him by Manchester City is a thing of the past. He has found a way to deal with Manchester City, and he wants to snatch back his Premier League title from Manchester City this season!

※※※

As the Manchester United celebrated wildly, Manchester City fans looked a little frustrated.

They were expecting the second half to start and City were still in color.

As a result, before Manchester City could show their quality, Manchester United scored another goal.

And it's a wonderful goal like a barb.

It was too much of a morale blow to Manchester City......

Benitez stood on the sidelines, his brow furrowed.

It was perhaps the toughest test he has faced since taking charge of Manchester City.

The defeat to Manchester United is not only a change of place in the league table, but more importantly, he loses the local derby.

No one wants to lose a derby, and losing this game is the equivalent of losing ten ordinary league games.

This is unacceptable in any way.

On the bench behind him, many Manchester City players were also depressed by the situation.

Ibrahimovic, who was sitting in the box at Old Trafford, kicked the railing in front of his seat after seeing Wayne Rooney score.

He was furious at the goal.

"If I don't play, I just can't do it...... It actually allowed Manchester United to score two goals! Rong, haven't you woken up yet! He yelled at the court through the glass.

It's a pity that Glory can't hear his voice at all.

He can only sulk alone.

He now finally regrets his impulsiveness – he didn't say he regretted it when he was sent off for a red card or when he was suspended for two additional games.

But now he regrets it. If he hadn't been sent off, he wouldn't have been sitting here and watching the game and United wouldn't have had a chance to score two goals!

The game should have ended in suspense in the first half! I580
