Regardless of whether Alan Hansen remains optimistic about Glory's prospect of captaining the team, the game has begun, and the matter of Glory captaining has to be put aside for the time being, and everyone's eyes will fall on the game.

The game is about the scoreline, not who is the captain.

Manchester United have kept a low profile in the transfer market this summer, mainly selling people.

They have lost two attacking players in the transfer market, Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez.

In terms of transfer introduction, Manchester United has not had too exciting news. Although Cristiano Ronaldo and Tevez were sold, with the 100 million euros exchanged for these two people, Ferguson could not find a suitable candidate for a while.

In attack, he added Valencia, a move from Wigan Athletic that cost United £17 million, the highest transfer the club has ever made this summer.

In addition, Michael Owen's free transfer from Newcastle United to Manchester United was somewhat unexpected.

After all, Michael Owen is a Liverpool-born player, and with the poor relationship between Liverpool and Manchester United, it is hard to imagine that Owen, the golden boy who is loved by Liverpool fans, would choose to join Manchester United......

On top of that, Manchester United have invested very little in the transfer market.

They brought in French player Obertin from Bordeaux for £3 million and young French midfielder Paul Pogba from French side Loefal on a free basis.

It's a small comparison to Manchester City's signings.

On City's side, it's Lucio, David Silva, Gareth Barry and Sneijder.

It's no wonder that the advantage that United had over Manchester City is now gone......

※※※

After the game started, it was certainly like this from the scene.

Manchester United were not as able to overpower Manchester City as they used to, with the two sides battling and battling it out in midfield.

Entangled with each other, the fight is inseparable.

Due to David Silva's injury and Sneijder's recent arrival, Manchester City are not very dominant in midfield, but Glory and Robinho will often withdraw from the forward line to help them, so Manchester City can play evenly with Manchester United in midfield.

Ten minutes into the game, football is mostly in the midfield area, and there are few opportunities to hit the penalty area.

Ten minutes later, there were only two shots on goal, one from Manchester United and Manchester City, showing that neither team had the upper hand.

Manchester United have learned the lessons of last season's Manchester City and strengthened their defence against Glory.

At the same time, the back line shrank very far back, not giving glory room to sprint.

is to let Manchester City can only play a positional battle with them, and the defensive counterattack that Benitez is good at can't play at all.

In such a situation, Rongguang simply played the front midfield, let Berbatov be at the front alone, and he and Robinho were behind him, didn't it look like two front midfielders?

The glory of the retreat will still be full of Manchester United players, anyway, no matter where he goes, there will always be Manchester United players around him, but in different positions, the people around him are also different.

Rongguang didn't want to break through with the ball, it was difficult for him to connect the ball.

As soon as the rest of Manchester United's players pass the football to Glory, a Manchester United player will be posted next to Glory.

It's been ten minutes, and Rongguang hasn't even had a shot on goal.

"It can be seen that Manchester United is still very jealous of glory......

"Of course, he played Manchester United twice last season and Rong scored five goals alone! If Ferguson hadn't taken Rong seriously, he wouldn't have deserved to sit in this position......"

In the commentary of the commentator, Rongguang is actively running on the field, looking for an opportunity that belongs to him.

The situation now is that he can barely stop and catch the ball, so don't catch it!

Glory already has a countermeasure.

He still raised his arms again and again during the run, signaling his teammates to pass the ball to him.

However, the teammates passed the football to others more during this time. After all, Glory has attracted more attention from United's defence, and it's normal for them to pass their football to other players who aren't being targeted by United.

But there will still be a problem with City's attack. That is, when you hit the front of Manchester United's penalty area, you will encounter an iron wall constructed by all the players of Manchester United.

With or without Manchester United players around them, it will be difficult for them to penetrate the wall.

If they can't get through that wall, no amount of possession and pass success they have on the outside doesn't make sense to convert it into goals.

With Sneijder sitting in the stands watching the game, and David Silva absent due to injury, the core of the Manchester City team is still Elano.

But Elano doesn't have a good way to face Manchester United's iron wall, he is not a real playmaker after all, his role in the Brazilian national team is more reflected in the back attack, he and Kaka are actually the same kind of people, not offensive playmakers, but attacking central midfielders, relying on his scoring ability.

There is also a reason why Manchester City relied almost entirely on their own last season, because in terms of midfield organization, Manchester City were too weak and relied on a half-hung Elano.

That's why Rafael Benitez has added three midfielders in one go to this summer's transfer signings. Gareth Barry is Xavi Alonso when Benitez was in charge of Liverpool, he can attack and defend, he can control the tempo, his long ball is very good, David Silva is a playmaker, but also an estimator, a versatile player who can provide more attacking ideas for the team, and Sneijder is a typical playmaker.

This is to completely replace the original Manchester City midfielder.

After Sneijder adapts to the team and gradually develops a tacit understanding with his new teammates, Elano will lose his current main position.

His strength and performance have not kept up with the requirements of the team.

Elano looked at Manchester United's dense defence, there was really no way, and he was not willing to risk passing the football directly into the penalty area, so the possibility of conceding a goal was too great.

So he passed the ball back to Gareth Barry.

Gareth Barry received the ball, he was in a position far back and there were no United players coming up to press him, so he could take possession and watch the situation more calmly.

In fact, for Barry, the transfer to Manchester City is quite embarrassing, he was a little reluctant at first, he still wanted to go to Liverpool.

But Liverpool lost interest in him after not buying him last season, and this summer, Dalglish made it clear to Barry's agent that Liverpool would not bring him in. Barry suddenly became nowhere to go, he naturally did not want to stay at Aston Villa, he had already agreed with Martin O'Neill that he would stay for another year last season, and after the end of last season, Martin O'Neill would have to agree to his departure.

Now that Martin O'Neill has agreed to let him go, he has nowhere else to go?

The personal contract offered to Barry by Manchester City was quite satisfactory to him, and Barry finally agreed to come to Manchester City.

After coming to Manchester City, he was still a little embarrassed after seeing the glory.

Because he was the first to jump out to provoke Glory last season, clamoring to make Glory look good. As a result, he was slapped in the face by Glory with a hat trick.

After that, he was always ridiculed by people, and whenever he praised the glory, his name would appear as a green leaf.

Now he is on the same team as Glory.

However, the first meeting with Rongguang made him feel a lot less embarrassed, because Rongguang didn't bring up the old things, but treated him as if nothing had happened, and treated him no different from other teammates.

Barry secretly wondered if it was okay, but he didn't know that Glory didn't remember it at all......

Now Barry has seen himself as a Manchester City player, and Liverpool will go with the wind...... Anyway, his current manager is also the former Liverpool manager Benitez, and when he was at Liverpool, it was Benitez who was interested in Barry.

So he went around in a circle, and he was still playing under Benitez.

Barry has had such an experience with Glory, so he is very worried that Manchester City fans will look at him differently, Glory is a lot, don't care about that, it doesn't mean that other Manchester City fans don't care. Since he came to Manchester City, he has deeply felt the fanatical worship of Manchester City fans for Glory, they really regard Glory as God, and it is reasonable to let them do so, looking at Glory's table last season, it will really make people think that he is possessed by God.

Therefore, they can't tolerate anyone who dares to provoke glory.

In order to avoid being ostracized by Manchester City fans, Barry had to desperately praise himself in the team, trying to come up with a wonderful table to make Manchester City fans accept him.

How?

Just as he was thinking about what to do, he saw Glory run from the side to the middle, and he raised his hand at the same time. Despite being accompanied by a Manchester United player, Barry decided to pass the football to glory.

This can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill......

Thinking of this, Gareth Barry did not hesitate and passed the football directly!

Instead of passing the ball directly to Glory's feet, he passed an advance amount, and Glory needed to run two steps to receive the ball.

That's what Glory wants!

He rushed forward at an accelerated speed, and Park Ji-sung, who followed him, couldn't compare with Rongguang in speed, and was immediately thrown away by Rongguang.

However, Park Ji-sung didn't panic too much, but continued to follow Rongguang, because he knew that at such a distance now, as long as Rongguang stopped the ball, he could catch up and stick to him again.

But he didn't expect that when the football rolled over, Rongguang didn't stop the ball, but directly picked up his right foot and came with a long shot!

"Sakae - Shoot!"

Before the commentator's words fell, the football had already flown in front of the goal, and all the United fans watched the scene with wide eyes and some horror.

At this moment, a large hand appeared in front of the football, which hit the injury hard, then bounced upwards and flew off the crossbar......

Corner kick!

Manchester United fans let out a long sigh.
