458 Opener

Some say Abu's Chelsea title was a milestone in Premier League history. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In a way, it does!

Why?

Because Chelsea have made history of buying champions with big investments!

There is really no precedent for Chelsea in English football, and even in Serie A, the former Lazio could not be said to have relied entirely on large-scale signings, they also relied on the club's original stars.

But if you look at Chelsea, how many of the champions were the players before Abou arrived at Stamford Bridge?

Just Frank Lampard!

So what is a milestone?

The so-called milestone, the simplest and easiest to understand, means that it is for future generations to learn from!

Who is Chelsea's descendant?

There is no doubt about Manchester City!

After Alfasim took charge of Manchester City, it is said that Van Gaal was given countless empty checks for reinforcements, and as a result, the Dutch brought rising talents such as Van der Vaart and Sneijder to Manchester City, as well as Vieira and Colo? Stars like Toure and Van Bommel are the likes of Toure.

From the pre-season warm-up games, it is not difficult to see that Van Gaal's tactics have begun to change Manchester City.

Goalkeeper Given, left-back Bridge, Distin and Colo? Toure formed a centre-back combination, with Danny at right-back? Mills, the back three are Van Bommel and Yaya? Toure and Vieira, Van der Vaart and Sneijder play in the midfield, and the single striker is Ibrahimovic.

Putting together such a squad in a summer, if someone says that Manchester City are not nouveau riche, then no one will believe it, you know, Colo? Needless to say, the likes of Toure, Van Bommel and Patrick Vieira have long been confirmed, with Ibrahimovic hailed as the new Basten's new striker.

Van der Vaart, who has been described as the new hope of the Netherlands, is now more of a shadow striker, cruising behind the striker, his spirit is his most powerful weapon, while Sneijder is closer to midfield, but he is very good at the back and has excellent passing ability, and the pair are a golden partnership at Ajax.

After the transfer to Manchester City, Ibrahimovic again, Ajax's trio reappeared in the Premier League, although there were rumors that Van der Vaart and Ibrahimovic were at odds, but from the pre-match preparations, the two were seen talking and laughing many times, and the rumors of discord were self-defeating.

Manchester City under Van Gaal's leadership, unbeaten in 5 games, 4 wins and 1 draw in the warm-up game, including strong teams such as PSV Eindhoven and Feyenoord, it can be said that Van Gaal has set a framework for Manchester City's tactics last season, and when he brought in reinforcements in the summer, he selected players according to the framework.

With Chelsea's precedent of a big recruitment to win the title, Manchester City are also expected to be high this season.

When Louis van Gaal was asked by reporters about Jose Mourinho's statement that he wanted to beat Manchester City, the Dutch coach couldn't help but laugh.

'I would have guessed Jose would say that, as I said before, I know him very well, we had a great time working together, I know that he is a very capable and ambitious person, he is eager to prove himself, but it definitely won't be with me and City.

"So, you have the confidence to defeat the Red Rebels?" The reporter still hopes that Van Gaal can say something similar to Mourinho to help them boost sales.

Van Gaal smiled and shook his head, "All I can say is that I know Jose very well, I know what he's thinking, and I know how to deal with him, even though he's a very amazing person. ”

Failing to get what they wanted from Louis van Gaal, reporters could only rehash the game where Louis van Gaal beat Jose Mourinho last season, you know, the Red Rebels have been winless since that game, and Manchester City have been unbeaten since that game.

That race was arguably the turning point of the whole 04/05 season, and in retrospect, it affected the title.

No one can deny that without that match, the Red Rebels' unbeaten record may have been extended even longer, and perhaps even set a shocking record of two consecutive unbeaten championships, after all, the Red Rebels were so hot at the time.

It can be said that Mourinho completely stimulated the potential and condition of the players after the team's promotion, and maintained it for a long time, resulting in the team setting a record of 60 games unbeaten in one go.

However, being forced to draw by Manchester City led to an unbalanced mentality of the arrogant Mourinho, and there were frequent mistakes in commanding the team, and the players obviously felt the manager's impetuousness, and the last few mistakes led to a season's efforts to come to naught.

Now, with the new season, the Red Rebels are back, obviously hoping to step on Manchester City's corpse and embark on the road to glory again, but Manchester City is also different now, and now they are also ambitious, hoping to win the Red Rebels in the new season and fire the first shot of the new season.

Judging from the previous situation of the two sides, Manchester City is in good shape, Van Gaal's leadership of the team is still in place, although the introduction of many players, but the Dutch coach is like a puzzle, putting players into his tactical system one by one.

The Red Rebels lost to AC Milan, lost the Audi Cup and then lost to Chelsea in the Community Shield, and before the season officially began, the team suffered two defeats and lost two trophies, which was a big damage to the morale of the Red Rebels, but no one can ignore their strength and fighting spirit in this tenacious team.

It is precisely because of all this that countless people have placed great attention on the opening game of the Premier League this season.

…………………… This highlight battle is scheduled for 12:45 p.m.!

Because Berry was so close to the city of Manchester, the Red Rebels only met at Newton Heath in the morning.

Although you are the owner of the club, Xiao Yu, together with Walsh and others, all followed the team to the away game.

Passing through the city of Manchester, buses bearing the Red Rebel badge are followed by a growing number of fans, some by car or with a travel agent, on their way to Berry.

The Manchester City travel agency that used to sponsor the Red Rebels is still one of the sponsors of the Red Rebels, and their business is getting bigger and bigger, and now it is famous in Manchester, and it is also one of the official partners of the Red Rebels.

The first matchup of the new season, the Manchester derby, was played in Berry, which is so close to Manchester, and there was no reason why Red Rebels fans should not go away, but because Manchester City took care of their fans, and the capacity of Gig Lane was too small, only 2,000 Red Rebels fans bought tickets in the end.

However, despite the small number of people, the Red Rebels fans were not intimidated, beating gongs and drums and shouting slogans along the way, as if they were going to their home stadium.

It's no wonder that the Red Rebels used to spend time at Gig Lane Stadium, which was once the home of Red Rebels fans, and it wasn't a big deal.

When the team bus arrived at the alleyway of the Gig Lane field, officers from the Berry Police Department immediately split a road for the Red Rebels bus to pass through.

Manchester City has specially renovated the Gig Lane stadium before, which has specially opened a team bus passage and renovated the dressing room, otherwise, with the rudimentary facilities and environment of the Gig Lane stadium, it really cannot match Manchester City's star-studded Premier League team.

"From the live TV footage, we can see that the Gig Lane Stadium has been replaced with a new layer of turf in anticipation of this game, replacing the potholed and rotten grass from last season."

Martin? Taylor heard Andy? Gray couldn't help but laugh out loud after his words.

"I guess the club must be crazy happy now, after renting to Manchester City, the rent is recruited, but they are still helping to rectify the Gig Lane stadium for free, although there are not many seats in the Gig Lane stadium today, but the facilities are good, and it can reach the Championship level."

"I believe that if Manchester City's home stadium is not completed this season, there must be a large number of lower league teams around competing to invite Manchester City to come and live temporarily, or even give up the rent in exchange for a good opportunity to modify the home stadium!"

There is a lot of ridicule about Manchester City, especially when you think about it, a team full of Vieira, Colo? The Premier League teams with stars such as Toure and Van der Vaart were forced to settle down on Gig Lane, which had to make people sigh.

Originally, Manchester City also wanted to learn from the Red Rebels to rent the Old Trafford stadium, but Manchester United refused to say anything this time, and the Glazer family was worried that the loan would affect the agreement between them and the bank, so they did not agree.

Unable to enter Old Trafford, Manchester City wanted to rent the Red Rebels stadium, but the Red Rebels were not short of money and did not rent it, so Aneson was so angry that he was said to have scolded his mother on the spot in the office.

In addition, there is a grapevine that Manchester City has reached an agreement with Atletico Madrid, and the Spanish golden boy Torres will transfer to Manchester City at a sky-high price, but after Torres went to the Gig Lane stadium, he refused Manchester City's invitation without thinking about it, on the grounds that the home field was too bad, and he couldn't imagine what kind of torture it would be to play in such a home stadium.

That's it, Manchester City and Torres missed!

Of course, this is just gossip news broken by some media, and the specific real surname is probably only known to the person concerned, but Manchester City wants to sign Torres, and it is indeed the player himself who refuses to go to the Premier League.

When the Red Rebels entered the stadium, the 13,000-seat Gig Lane stadium was already full, and the Red Rebels fans and Manchester City fans sat in a clear position, and both sides did their best to create momentum for their teams, and the entire Gig Lane stadium seemed to be a turbulent sea of rage.

"From the information we have before the game, both sides are very serious about this game, Mourinho has shouted the slogan of winning the three points early, and Van Gaal is also hoping to get off to a good start from the Red Rebels!"

"This is indeed a battle of dragons and tigers, if with the rise of the Red Rebels, Manchester City has no strength to confront the Red Rebels, then with the Abu Dhabi consortium in charge, Manchester City has the strength to compete with any Premier League team through a summer of reinforcements, including the Red Rebels!"

Andy? As a neutral commentator, Gray would love to see this kind of confrontation at the pinnacle level.

The starting line-ups for both sides of the game have also come out, and the starting line-up of Manchester City is not too unexpected, and the lineup that Van Gaal has rehearsed through the warm-up game has really appeared in this game, Given, Bridge, Distin, Colo? Toure, Mills, Van Bommel, Yaya? Toure, Vieira, Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Ibrahimovic. ”

"Campany, Sun Jihai and others sat on the bench, and it was clear that Van Gaal was going to do his best to win the Red Rebels at home."

Martin? After listening to Taylor, he couldn't help but nod nervously: "If the warm-up match for the Community Shield is very deep, then for the Red Rebels, the first round of the new season is indeed a game that cannot be missed, especially for the team aiming to win the championship, losing the opportunity will mean that the team will have to bear more pressure than the opponent in the future." ”

"Yes, that's right, and the Red Rebels also have to take care of the Champions Cup, although the League Cup and the FA Cup are both young players and substitutes, but on multiple fronts, the Red Rebels must still want to play the first game of the new season steadily, which can be seen from Mourinho's line-up."

The Red Rebels' starting lineup and formation were shown on the live stream.

"The goalkeeper is Peter? Petr Cech, the Czech, has been the Red Rebels' most consistent star in recent seasons; Patrice Evra at left-back, the Frenchman is also the absolute mainstay of the Red Rebels, Terry and Curtis form a centre-back combination, and the right-back is McConn, which was also the biggest finding of the Red Rebels last season, overpowering Colo? Toure led the Ivorians to go to Manchester City in a rage this season. ”

"Beckham was absent due to injury, Spanish teenager Cesc Fabregas replaced the starter, De Rossi and Essien assisted, in front of the trident composed of Kaka, Ronaldo and Drogba, Mourinho was obviously worried that Fabregas alone could not cope with this kind of scene, so De Rossi and Essien were specially arranged to assist."

Martin? Taylor frowned and nodded: "I can see that Mourinho changed the formation when he was in the Community Shield, and he also used the 433 tactic, obviously in addition to the reason why Beckham was absent due to injury, he was also thinking about trying the effect of this formation, after all, without a Beckham, the Red Rebels' control in the midfield was impaired." ”

"Manchester City's strongest is undoubtedly their midfield, Mourinho is obviously based on defense at the beginning, using the speed of Ronaldo and Kaka to counterattack, after all, after a large-scale adjustment and substitution, no one knows what Manchester City's tactics are, Mourinho can't let his team press hard."

That's why so many promoted horses are always able to make a splash in the new season!

But is that really all there is to it?
