Chapter 955: A fierce city derby

Benitez's approach was unbelievable in the eyes of many, but in the eyes of the Manchester City players, it was very useful.

Because it shows that their manager has full confidence in them and believes that they can beat Manchester United.

With that belief, they set foot on the pitch at Old Trafford.

At the same time, there was a shrill boo from the stands of the stadium.

It was given to them by Manchester United fans.

This is the first time City have returned to Old Trafford since last season's league game.

The resentment and anger accumulated by Manchester United fans during the league, FA Cup final and Community Shield all turned into boos and hit the City players.

As the captain of Manchester City, Rong Guang was at the front of the team, and of course the first to be booed.

But for such boos, Glory has become accustomed to it.

And it's not just him, it's the other City players as well.

They have a lot of confidence in themselves, so what is it to play Manchester United away?

We haven't lost to Manchester United this year!

※※※

After the start of the game, the two sides fought very fiercely.

Neither Manchester United nor Manchester City wants to lose to each other, plus both sides know each other very well, so they don't need any temptation at all, and they just start fighting.

Just two minutes into the game, Wayne Rooney opened the scoring for Manchester United!

“ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONY!!! Rooney! John Mortenson shouted in a long voice. Pretty! Manchester United have had a fantastic start! ”

'It looks like Manchester United are getting into shape a little bit quicker than Manchester City......' said Alan Hansen next to him. However, Manchester United's luck was really good for this goal, and Rooney's shot on goal actually went into the ......"

The United fans in the stands didn't care how the goal was scored, as long as it was scored, and they erupted in loud cheers as the ball flew into the goal.

'It was unfortunate for Manchester City, conceding the opening two points...... In such a city-to-city derby, once the morale of the other party is raised, it is difficult to stop it...... But conceding so early is a good test of this team's ability to withstand pressure and see how far they can go in such adversity...... I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing for this team......"

The TV broadcast quickly cut to the City players, one by one for close-ups.

The Manchester City players in the camera looked a little stern, but they were not flustered, and their eyes were swollen and they couldn't see the dazed eyes.

The game restarted to the deafening cheers of the United fans, and City were not in a hurry to attack the United goal, they passed back and forth, ran and looked calm.

"Manchester City are very smart in this way, after Manchester United have just scored, it must be Manchester United who are in high spirits, and if Manchester City rush to attack and squander possession, then they will have to face Manchester United's torrential attack. But now, they are constantly passing in the middle and backfield, always keeping the football at their feet, making it less easy for United to attack, slowing down the pace of the game and draining the morale of the Manchester City players...... It does seem that Manchester City are much more mature than they used to be......"

The two sides then fell into a tug-of-war.

Manchester United wanted to do everything they could to extend their advantage, but Manchester City were in a state of affairs with him.

In such a tug-of-war, Manchester United's momentum gradually went down, and the two sides returned to a balance point.

Manchester United realised they couldn't have scored twice against Manchester City in a short space of time and they started to slow down.

I plan to deal with Manchester City and wait for my chance.

But when Manchester United wanted to slow down, Manchester City suddenly picked up!

Football is like that, and you can't let the pace of the game fall into someone else's control. If the opponent wants to kick fast, then be sure to control the rhythm and slow down the kick. If your opponent wants to be slow, you need to accelerate suddenly and kick faster and faster.

In short, you have to come against the other party and make the other party uncomfortable.

The tempo of this game is controlled by Sneijder and Glory, one for passing and the other for breaking.

After the two of them raised the speed, the rhythm of the whole Manchester City also increased.

This caught United off guard, and in the midst of City's wave after wave of attacks, the Reds defended looked wolfy.

It looks like Manchester City could score at any moment.

The Manchester United fans in the tense stands forgot to cheer for the team for a while, and the Old Trafford stadium suddenly became much quieter.

In the sixteenth minute, City launched another attack.

Layton Barnes' cross from the flank was met by Berbatov at the front post to attract the attention of two United defenders, and Glory suddenly cut in at high speed from outside the box and leaped high!

The football that Berbatov did not reach flew right over, and the glory of the air a lion shook its head!

"Honor !!"

In the exclamation of John Mortenson, football was thrown to the back of the glory point!

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar reflexively jumped up in the face of the imminent rush, but the pace was still slower than football.

By the time he pounced, the ball had already flown into the goal!

"Sakae!! Glory! Oh! Pretty! Nice header! He equalised for Manchester City! No matter when and under what circumstances, the most trustworthy will always be Rong! He saved the team again! ”

"The summit of glory! Pretty! Manchester United's backline made a mistake at this time, and none of them had a single person to mark the glory of the sudden insertion! Of course, Glory's sudden header was indeed too unexpected, when Leyton Barnes was about to cross, Glory was still outside the penalty area, but just when Barnes passed the football, Glory suddenly stepped forward! His speed was on full display at this moment! ”

"After a high-speed sprint, I think even if someone competes with him at this time, there will definitely be no way to compete with Rong...... I noticed that Rong was still shrinking up after jumping, and if he didn't, the ball would have hit him in the chest instead of his forehead...... He jumped too high! ”

There was a cheer in Old Trafford, one of the few Manchester City fans.

Amid their cheers, Glory fell to the ground, turned his head to look at the football to make sure it was in the goal, opened his arms, ran to Barnes, who was passing the ball to him, and hugged him to celebrate the goal.

At this time, Manchester United fans reacted and booed Xiang Rongguang in the stands.

Of course, Glory doesn't care about their boos.

"Manchester City equalised! The two sides are back on the same page!! The narrator said in an excited voice. Sixteen minutes into the game, there were two goals in this game, and it looks like this game will definitely not be dull! ”

※※※

The narrator seems to be right.

The first half ended in a 1-1 draw.

Although the score was a draw, it was very intense.

In the 27th minute, Robinho received a yellow card.

In the 38th and 43rd minutes, two United players, Anderson and Nemanja Vidic, both received a yellow card.

Fifteen minutes after the break, neither side made any adjustments and continued to attack.

In the 49th minute, less than five minutes into the second half, United scored again.

It was Fletcher who scored this time.

Manchester United leads Manchester City 2-1!

"Fletcher! Pretty! Manchester United are leading again! ”

The stands at Old Trafford were cheering again.

However, the cheers of the United fans lasted only three minutes......

In the 52nd minute, City quickly equalised.

It was Robinho who scored the goal this time, and it was the man who assisted him...... Glory!

After breaking through in front of the crowd and completely disrupting United's defence, Glory passed the ball to Robinho.

Robinho received the ball in a relatively better position and then got up to shoot and the ball got into the net that Van der Sar had left behind.

“2:2! Manchester City are really in contention! Manchester United scored a goal, and Manchester City immediately returned the color! ”

With the emergence of four goals, the game became more and more intense, and the players of both sides moved more and more on the field, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger.

Shortly after Robinho's goal, Gareth Barry received a yellow card. Less than 60 minutes into the game, four yellow cards had been awarded to both sides, two on each side.

Then, Ferguson made the first change, replacing Park Ji-sung with Valencia. Hoping to increase their advantage in midfield, Valencia have the skill and pace to break through on the flanks and hopefully bring some variables to this game.

After Valencia came on the pitch, the change came.

United gradually took the initiative in midfield.

And in the 82nd minute, Klose put the ball into the Manchester City goal, taking the lead for the third time in the game!

“3:2! 3:2! Klose! Miroslav Klose!! John Mortensen shouted. With a goal in the 82nd minute, Manchester United almost pronounced Manchester City's death sentence! ”

The Manchester United players hugged each other with excitement.

"Klose!!" Manchester United fans in the stands chanted the name of the goalscorer.

Klose's goal gave them hope of winning!

"It was a really good game! The two sides have been battling until this point, and the game has entered the last ten minutes, and the goal is born! Manchester United are absolutely not willing to get a draw on the road! They're definitely going to beat Manchester City at home! It's revenge for losing the first three games! ”

Old Trafford is like an erupting volcano, with lava, heat and steam gushing out, making the stadium look so noisy.

As far as the eye can see, the stands are all pulsing red, and it really looks like tumbling lava......

And the uncontrollable cheers of Manchester United fans are a rumbling echo from the depths of the earth!

The whole of Old Trafford was so lively that they couldn't hear what was said in person, and the United fans were venting all the anger they had been holding back until then.

This amazing momentum makes people sweat for those Manchester City players in the stadium.
