Chapter 870: Cheers and boos
There was no communication between the players on both sides as they stood in the tunnel waiting to play.
Although there will be some old acquaintances in their respective teams, or teammates in the national team, or just those who have played in one team.
But they didn't talk and laugh before this game.
First of all, this game is important for both sides, and secondly, because of the pre-match events, the Manchester City players are very unhappy with Manchester United's side.
Especially to that Portuguese.
Manchester City's players almost always glare at Cristiano Ronaldo at least. If eyes could kill people, Cristiano Ronaldo would have died a long time ago, and his whole body would have been poked into a sieve.
But Glory didn't glare at Cristiano Ronaldo, he didn't even look for where Cristiano Ronaldo was.
Because that doesn't make sense at all.
His mind was now full of what Debora and Benitez had to say.
First of all, be a victor, so that the noisy world will be quiet and listen to you.
Whether I'm scheating or not to avoid that city derby, you can watch this game!
Cristiano Ronaldo didn't look for glory either, he is now the number one in the world of football, and he has to put up the shelf.
Klose had a good relationship with Glory, but when he entered this player tunnel, he clearly felt this special aura, so he gave up the idea of greeting Glory. Let's wait until the end of the game......
He walked past Rongguang, but he only glanced at Rongguang and didn't say anything.
Now that the two sides are very hostile, he doesn't want to be the target of public criticism.
The two teams were silent until they came out.
When they came out, cheers rang out at Old Trafford, louder and louder, all for the United players. Because at the same time, on the radio at Old Trafford, the Manchester United squad was being broadcast.
Without reporting a player, the United fans will cheer for a while.
From the decibel size of the fans' cheers, you can draw conclusions about which player is the most popular.
When Manchester United's home radio dragged out a long voice shouting: "Cristiano-", the stadium was heard with a uniform, deafening cry of Manchester United fans: "Ronaldo!!! ”
The Portuguese received the highest cheers in the team, far more than the likes of Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, and even the popularity of homegrown English superstars like Wayne Rooney at Manchester United was not as high as Cristiano Ronaldo.
Manchester United fans are also showing their support for Cristiano Ronaldo in this way.
Because of that controversial remark, Cristiano Ronaldo was criticized by the media. Manchester United fans are cheering at this time to express their support for Cristiano Ronaldo, and they are also cheering Cristiano Ronaldo, hoping that he will not be affected and can devote himself to the game, beat Manchester City at home, and take the lead for the team to finally win the championship!
In the cheers of the fans, Cristiano Ronaldo had a stinky expression, but people like him so rebelliously.
When it was the turn of the radio to broadcast Manchester City's starting lineup, the sound of the live broadcast was much weaker than before, and the broadcast process was more like coping, and the attitude was very perfunctory.
Manchester United fans, on the other hand, add a boo to the end of the name of each Manchester City player, which is the opposite of the cheer, and who boos the most shows who the United fans hate the most.
Berbatov was booed more loudly, and Manchester United fans hated him for rejecting Manchester United for money and choosing Manchester City - in fact, Manchester United did not want Berbatov, and the Bulgarian had no choice but to go to Manchester City. But Manchester United don't care so much.
Then, when the live broadcast announced the name of Glory, the boos over the Old Trafford stadium were comparable to the cheers Cristiano Ronaldo had just received!
Deafening, irritating people are about to commit heart disease!
The telecast was very swift and cut to a close-up of Glory amid the huge boos.
Rongguang in the camera has a calm face, as if he doesn't pay attention to these boos at all.
It's not that it seems, it's true, I don't take these boos to heart.
Rongguang has encountered similar boos many times before, and if the boos can affect his performance, then he will not be able to get to where he is today.
He started his football career with great skepticism, so the pressure was commonplace for him, and he didn't blink an eye in the midst of this storm of boos.

"Rong is on the turf of Old Trafford again!" Marcel Leif said with some excitement that he was also watching the match in Germany.
'The last time he played in this stadium was two years ago, when he played for Bayern Munich. Old Trafford wasn't the one he was most familiar with, but Wing made great memories and impressive performances here...... It was in this game that he used a hat-trick of headers to completely lose Manchester United's hope of advancing to the final! ”
When it comes to this, Marcel Leif is particularly excited and proud.
Although Glory is no longer a Bayern Munich player, it no longer has anything to do with German football. But Marcel Leif still sees him as a world superstar produced by the Bundesliga and is proud of his every improvement and brilliance. It's like it's your own child.

The boos did not stop until both sides came on the pitch.
Then comes the necessary pre-match rituals.
City won the right to pick the side, choosing the same pitch as they had warmed up before the game, so that when they attacked in the first half, they could play in the half of the pitch they were used to......
Manchester United, on the other hand, got the kick-off, they could kick off first and keep the football on their side from the start of the game.
So sometimes, it's not necessarily a good thing to win the right to pick sides.
Tee-off rights may be more important.
As the players from both sides stood in their positions, the pitch at Old Trafford, which had been noisy before, suddenly fell silent.
Everyone watched the pitch with bated breath and waited for the game to begin.
It's a game that involves both teams...... No, a game of fate for many teams!
In such a quiet environment, the referee's whistle is particularly prominent and clear.
A whistle blows, and the game begins!
There was a loud shout in the stadium, which had been quiet before.
It's like something has exploded all of a sudden.
The race is really on!

From the beginning of the game, Ferguson has been sitting in the dugout.
And Benitez stood on the sidelines.
That doesn't mean Benitez is nervous, but Ferguson isn't.
In fact, you can tell from Ferguson's squirming lips that he is actually nervous too.
Many managers have a habit of chewing gum during games, which can help ease tensions.
However, the most famous chewing gum is Ferguson, so much so that some chewing gum manufacturers have asked him to endorse him......
Chewing gum can relieve the tension on the love xù, and his nervous Cheng dù can also be seen from the range of action of refusal.
If you chew very slowly, or if you just hold your mouth for a long time but don't chew, it means that you are still relatively relaxed.
But if you chew very frequently and keep chewing, it means that you are very nervous, and the faster you move, the more nervous you are.
Less than ten minutes into the game, Ferguson's mouth never stopped......
A piece of chewing gum quickly made his chewing tasteless.
But he's still chewing on it.
In his pre-match press conference, he looked confident when it came to glory and Manchester City.
But in reality it was just an illusion and part of the psychological warfare against Manchester City.
He can do it without regard to Manchester City, but not with glory.
With Glory's recent form, it is indeed worth Ferguson's caution, even ...... Nervous.
Glory have scored 28 goals in the league so far this season, in addition to seven in the FA Cup.
Whether in the league or the FA Cup, he is now at the top of the scorers' charts.
And you have to know that the second highest scorer in the Premier League has only scored eighteen goals so far......
Such a huge gap is truly jaw-dropping.
This is the first season since Rongguang returned from injury, and his watch has already made people forget the fact that he had suffered a serious injury and had not played for eight months......
The frightening thing about Glory isn't that he's very good at scoring goals, it's that he has a lot of ways you can't think of goals. No matter what tactics you use to defend him, you don't know if it's going to work......
A qiē can only go to the game to resign himself to fate.
Even Alex Ferguson is no exception.
He didn't know if his tactics would work successfully in the game.
He prefers to rely on attack to solve problems rather than defend – if United score more goals than Manchester City, won't they be victorious?
So he put a lot more effort on offense than on defense.
And in the team's attack, Cristiano Ronaldo is naturally the object of his focus.
Cristiano Ronaldo's goal tally this season has not been as insane as last season, with only sixteen goals scored so far. But from a tactical point of view, Cristiano Ronaldo's table is getting better and better.
He has become an absolutely indispensable part of United's attack.
Manchester United with him is completely different from Manchester United without him.
And Cristiano Ronaldo's main focus this season is in the Champions League.
He and another talented player, Lionel Messi, are competing in the Champions League, and the league table is naturally not as crazy as last season, but despite this, Manchester United are still at the top of the league.
He scored a beautiful long-range shot against Porto in the Champions League, 40 yards from goal, and the speed of the ball was over 100 kilometres per hour.
With his excellent performance, Manchester United have reached the Champions League final. If they can beat Barcelona in Rome, Manchester United will become the first team to successfully defend their Champions League title after the Champions League restructuring!
Cristiano Ronaldo is definitely an indispensable figure.
Now, with the Champions League final just away, Ferguson has asked Cristiano Ronaldo to shift his focus to the league first and deal with their biggest enemy.
This will allow the team to go to Rome to play the Champions League final with peace of mind.
Fortunately, it now seems that Cristiano Ronaldo's fighting spirit and morale are not in question.
Thinking of this, Ferguson slowed down the speed of chewing gum, and his heart calmed down a little......
