Chapter 382: Manchester City with Twelve Men Fighting

After the Manchester Derby game, Wan Sheng's speech at the press conference was reported by many British media, and Manchester City supporters used Wan Sheng's words to hit Manchester United, "...... As Wan Sheng said, Manchester City's win over Manchester United is no longer news, and it is not worth reporting at all. ”

'United haven't won against Manchester City for more than two seasons and their best result was a 1-1 draw with Manchester City two years ago and have been losing to Manchester City since.

"By now, maybe Manchester City's loss can become big news worth reporting!"

Some media also focused on the game to reflect Wansheng's words, "...... Just like this game, United didn't have a chance at all time, they seemed to be committed to trying to keep the goal, but in the end City won the game thanks to Ivan Crewe's goal! ”

"Ferguson also seems to know the gap between the team and Manchester City, so he chose to defend all the way, but in the end he didn't get a point!"

"In the summer, some media said that this Manchester United is already the strongest team in the Premier League, but after watching the game, we can know that even the 'strongest Manchester United' is not as good as the current Manchester City, in English football, only Manchester City is the strongest!"

In the reports of Manchester City's media, the media who support Manchester United are also annoyed by Manchester United's 'incompetence', how important is Manchester Derby?

But for two seasons, Manchester United has been losing, losing.

Some United backing media outlets have even said, "Sir Alex Ferguson may be really old." "They used it to explain why United lost to Manchester City.

Ferguson became the culprit.

The old jazz is quite influential in English football, and even more so in the hearts of Manchester United fans. It has an unshakable position, but when United fans think that the team has not beaten Manchester City in more than two seasons, they have some approval of the media coverage.

"Maybe Ferguson is really old. Otherwise, why do Manchester United keep losing? ”

'It was a very passive game, I came to the Manchester Stadium to watch it and it turned out to be such a dull game that I wasn't even motivated to cheer for Manchester United......

Some Manchester United fans also expressed their displeasure and expressed their opinions.

As the manager of Manchester United and a figure that is constantly mentioned by fans, Ferguson naturally feels very bad. He hates it when people say he's old, but Ferguson doesn't accept it, he thinks he's doing a good job. There is no problem at all to be able to continue to manage Manchester United for a few more seasons.

But in this game, he lost helplessly.

Before the game, Ferguson thought of a lot of ways to deal with Manchester City. All were denied one by one. At best, he opted for a defensive counter-attack - holding the goal and looking for a counter-attack.

This is the most consistent way of playing.

Normally, it is also the best chance to win Manchester City's style of play, but as a result, Manchester United did not score, but Manchester City scored in the 81st minute.

Losing the Manchester derby again, Ferguson didn't want to say anything in the media.

It's like some media said, losing once is nothing, but losing to Manchester City all the time. It's not a matter of performance, Ferguson is aware of the gap between the team and Manchester City.

But he couldn't help it.

Man City are too strong!

After this game. Ferguson has this feeling, the current Manchester City's strength has definitely reached a peak, such a team will be difficult to beat if it takes the game seriously, unfortunately, the game against Manchester United, Manchester City must be very important, so Manchester United continues to be unable to win Manchester City.

Ferguson was also helpless, and after the game he kept thinking about the young Chinese, thinking about the tactics he brought to Manchester City, thinking about how to deal with Manchester City.

――――

Wan Shengcai doesn't care what Ferguson thinks, for him, winning Manchester United is really not much to be excited about, after all, he has been in charge of Manchester City for more than two seasons, and he doesn't know how many times he has won Manchester United.

Of course, Wan Sheng will not be like this, and what he said after the game was not only sarcastic about Manchester United, but also had some elements in his heart.

With the Manchester derby over, the game has passed, and Wan Sheng and the whole Manchester City team are no longer reminiscing, but are preparing for the second round of the Champions League group stage, and their opponent is Stuttgart.

In the history of the Stuttgart club, there have been many famous stars who have played for the team, such as Dunga, the captain of the Brazilian team who won the World Cup in 1994, who played in Stuttgart at that time; Bayern Munich's Brazilian foreign aid Elber, who was once beautiful, also played in Stuttgart at first, and formed the famous "front trident" with Balakov and Bobic.

Loew, the current head coach of the German national team, was the head coach of Stuttgart at that time.

In addition, Daum was once the manager of Stuttgart, and under his leadership, Stuttgart won the club's second league title in 1992.

Since 2000, Stuttgart's shine has been overshadowed by other teams, and the only impression given by German football is Bayern Munich, which has always been dominant.

But last season, Stuttgart rose strongly, beating Schalke, Bremen, and Bayern to win the third Bundesliga title, and their results and performances were surprising, and their rise coupled with the strength of Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen also led to Bayern Munich missing out on this season's Champions League.

However, in Europe, Stuttgart is by no means a strong team, their squad is not flashy, and they do not have much experience in European competitions, and the odds offered by various bookmakers for Stuttgart to win the championship are even higher than that of the Scottish giants Glasgow Rangers in the same group.

The result of the first round of the Champions League also proved that the bookmakers and the media were in sight - Glasgow Rangers beat Stuttgart 1-0.

Stuttgart met Manchester City in this round, they were playing at home, and many fans were expecting Stuttgart to win, because this game is extremely important to them, and the team's manager Helt had great expectations for the game, and in an interview with the media, he said, "Manchester City are the favourites, but maybe this is the right opponent at the right time." ”

At the moment in the Bundesliga, Stuttgart is only 10th.

A win over Manchester City in the Champions League would change Stuttgart's situation in a big way.

Stuttgart proved to be very capable.

Everyone could see that Stuttgart really had the ability to beat Manchester City in the game, and they had a chance to do so, and although City scored a goal in the opening game to take advantage of the scoreline, Stuttgart also created good chances, and striker Gomez's header almost penetrated Wang Xiaolei's ten fingers.

This was a huge morale boost for the team.

Striker Gomes is an interesting guy who played for Stuttgart, but he repeatedly stressed his position before the game: "I've always liked the style of play at Manchester City and it's exciting to play against them. It has also been reported that in an interview with the media, Gomez has also said that he will eventually leave Stuttgart and seek challenges in other leagues, and playing for Manchester City is his biggest dream.

The German Kicker commented, "Gomes doesn't just want to go to Manchester City, he wants to be selected by Wansheng. ”

In the end, Stuttgart lost the game 0-2.

Gomez had a mixed bag of performances on the pitch, creating the team's best scoring opportunities but failing to capitalise on them, and defensively led to Morris' first goal.

Beckenbauer, who watched the game as a guest commentator, lamented striker Farnerud's missed chance to score: "It's a bit more difficult for him, if he had been a more experienced striker, he might have been able to score." ”

Gomez's missed header also disappointed the 'German Emperor', with Beckenbauer commenting, "He should have scored this goal, and as a good striker he shouldn't have missed such an opportunity." Gomes also 'helped' City defensively, with Darren Bent's header bounced off Gomez and gave Morris a chance. ”

Many British media grinned and pointed out, "Manchester City may have won the game because they played with 12 men, and Gomez was a player that Manchester City had placed in the opponent's team." ”

Stuttgart's defence withstood United's attack in the first half, but the second half once again exposed the problems that had occurred in the league, which led directly to the second goal.

Fortunately, the Stuttgart fans are still firmly behind the team.

After the game, coach Armin Fei made a point of thanking the fans, "They are the most amazing fans, I am sure the team is getting better and the fans will see these changes soon. ”

For Manchester City, this Champions League is not difficult.

So Wan Sheng also felt quite relaxed after the game, and he praised Stuttgart's performance, "Their performance in the game really gives reason to believe that they will come out of the league slump. ”

At the same time, the other match in Group E of the Champions League group stage has also come to an end.

This is Lyon against Rangers.

Lyon are the Ligue 1 champions and Glasgow Rangers are the Scottish league champions.

Although they are both league champions, the Ligue 1 giants are obviously different from the Scottish league champions, and Glasgow Rangers can only be said to be 'Scottish giants', which is nothing at all in Europe, but the result of this game is more attractive than the match between Manchester City and Stuttgart, because in the end Glasgow Rangers defeated Lyon 3-0 away from home!

Previously, the Scottish national team defeated France in the European Championship qualifiers, and the Scottish media happily said, "In the Champions League, Glasgow Rangers have also become "anti-French heroes". ”

Glasgow Rangers must be inferior to Lyon's strength, in fact, Glasgow Rangers only had three shots on goal in the whole game, but it was these three shots that created three goals, so they beat Lyon 3-0, on the contrary, the unlucky Ligue 1 six-time champion shot the ball on the goal frame three times!

It's a tragedy for Lyon...... (To be continued.) )
