Chapter 67: Manchester Derby

When Kintag entered the Etihad Stadium, the audience booed. Tens of thousands of away fans used the biggest boo to greet their rivals in the same city. This boo even surpassed the team that Kintag was leading to Liverpool. Field Stadium.
After a few Premier League games, Jin Taige has slowly become accustomed to the bogey away road, he poked his lips, and then said to Scholes around him: "Is this how Manchester City fans treat their neighbors? China has a sentence As the old saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. After all, they are all in the same city, isn't it friendly? "
But Scholes said with a serious face: "The derby in the same city is an important culture of European football. For many teams in the same city, it doesn't matter if they don't win the league championship at the end of the season. As long as they can kill their rivals in the city, the fans can Happy all season! "
Jin Taige patted Scholes with a smile: "Paul, I'm just kidding, relax. This opponent is too familiar to us. Although they bought a lot of new players this summer, after all, the running-in period It's too short, and the reason why Manchester City won the first four games is because they have not encountered the test of the Premier League Six, so I think we should have no problems in this game. "
Phelan also said excitedly: "I think Tiger is right, we will win this game!"
Berman City played a 4-2-3-1 formation. The goalkeeper is England's Joe Hart. From left to right on the defender line are Kolarov, Nastasic, Kompany, Sabaleta. The two lower backs are Yaya Toure and Fei. Fernando, three attacking midfielders are Nasri, Aguero, Navas, and Negredo in the center. And Manchester City's bench is very luxurious, even stronger than the main lineup of many Premier League teams: Milner, Dzeko, Harvey Garcia, Richards, Lescott, Pantillimon, Jovi Titch.
This lineup has excellent offense and defense. On paper strength, it is definitely in the top three in the Premier League.
Look again at Manchester United's lineup today. Still a standard 4-4-2 formation, the goalkeeper position is De Gea, the back line is Smolin and Ferdinand, the two full-backs are Evra and Rafael; the midfielder was injured by Kanter, so the rear At the waist, Jones appeared, and the attacking midfielder was Captain Giggs; the two left and right midfielders were replaced by Ashley Young and Valencia. Mahrez and Nani, who were exhausted in the last game, sat. On the bench, centers are still Van Persie and Wayne Rooney. The seven substitutes are Alisson, Alonso, Van Dijk, Mahrez, Nani, Marshall and Icardi.
Before the match, the coaches of the two teams shook hands friendly.
Pellegrini told Kintag: "It must be a wonderful game today."
Jintaige nodded: "That's for sure, good luck."
The referee opened the whistle and the game began.
At this time Sky TV ’s commentary, Morris and Raman are explaining the game.
Morris just introduced the starting lineup for this game, and Raman took over: "I still don't like Manchester United in this game, I think Manchester United will suffer a fiasco at Etihad Stadium."
Morris glanced at him: "Why do you think so? Judging from the strength and recent status of the two teams, at least they are evenly matched. Why do you think Manchester United will lose, and still lose?
"Because they don't have Kanter today," Raman said his own point. "In the first four league games, Manchester United scored a total of 9 goals and then only lost one goal, and that lost goal was still a free kick. What does that mean? ? It shows that the defense is doing very well. And the key to Manchester United doing a good defense this season is to have Kanter. "
Morris was happy: "In the past, didn't you say that Kanter was just a‘ little cat and dog from Fayi ’?

Raman blushed a little: "I admit that I was a bit blind-sighted at the time and did not expect this French player to have such potential. Everyone can see that these games have been played. Although it has not been long since joining the team, but Kan Special's position in this Manchester United team is already indispensable. Take a UEFA Champions League game against Leverkusen, Kanter played slightly injured, the state is not good, so Manchester United was scored by the opponent Two goals. It can be seen that Kanter has become the core of this team's defense. But today the core is no longer, Manchester United has a strong attack on Manchester City in the away scene, so I said that this game Manchester United Definitely will return. Morris, although you are a Manchester United fan, do you think my words are not objective enough? "
Although these words sound harsh, Morris frowned and nodded at this time: "Although your words are thorny, they do make sense. Kanter's absence is indeed a great loss for Manchester United ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ Gintyger's game in which Phil Jones played for Kanter was indeed a bit risky. "
Actually, it was not only Morris who took risks, but also Jin Taige himself was very worried. But what can he do? Last season, Sir Alex Ferguson rarely had a separate defensive back in his lineup. In fact, Jintaige understood that it was not that Mr Jazz was unwilling to use the back tactics, but that Manchester United did not have a good back. That's why Ferguson uses an aggressive style of play, and wants to use sharp attacks to make up for the lack of defense. In the case of many weak teams, Manchester United was lucky enough to win the league championship last season. However, this set can not be carried in the European arena, especially against other European giants, Manchester United's disadvantage is very obvious, the result was eliminated by Real Madrid in the eighth final, stopped the pace.
This season Manchester United lost the offensive core Scholes of last season, and the Premier League teams have strengthened one after another, in this situation, Jin Taige attaches importance to the lower back. And his tactics have also begun to bear fruit. Kanter's performance in the first few games is enough to make everyone look impressive. Jintaige is very confident in him. If there are no accidents such as injuries, he believes his triple crown The goal must be more than just a dream!
However, Kanter was injured after only four games in the league. Fortunately, it was not a serious injury, otherwise Kintag would really want to cry without tears.
In this game, Jintaige considered again and again, and eventually sent Phil Jones to replace Kanter. Last season under Sir Alex Ferguson, Phil Jones also often played defensive midfielder and performed well. Phil Jones's fierce defensive style has won the favor of many Manchester United fans. In this game, he replaced the injured Kanter and was full of confidence, ready to fight!
