When home and away games are in the same city, this means a derby.

Derby is often full of gunpowder, and fans of both sides will become petty. For example, fans of two teams in Milan will deliberately call the same stadium San Siro Stadium and the Meyacha Stadium. Of course, most derbys will not be the same stadium, such as Madrid, London, and Manchester.

Compared with the city stadium with a very popular name in Manchester City, Old Trafford has become one of the symbols of British football. Due to Manchester United, when people think of British stadiums, the first thing many people think of is not the luxurious Wembley Stadium, but this stadium called the "Dream Theater".

After several expansions over the past twenty years, Old Trafford Stadium has now become the second largest stadium in England after Wembley Stadium and one of the three five-star stadiums in England. However, modernization is not just the main label of this stadium, but history is the most eye-catching place of this stadium. The famous bronze statue of Matt Busby, the Munich clock, a memorial representing painful memories, and a museum that symbolizes countless honors... All of them are telling the century-old history of this stadium.

This is undoubtedly a special stadium. Moreover, it has a special host.

Sitting on the coaching seat at Old Trafford, Linson felt like he was sent to the stands because the coaching seat at Old Trafford Stadium was designed in the stands. It was precisely because of this design that when Manchester United scored a goal, the scene of Ferguson rushing down from the stands with his hands high and holding his hands up has become a classic picture of Old Trafford.

Objectively speaking, such a coach seat design is more beneficial to the head coach. Because you can get a better perspective and make a clearer judgment on the situation on the court. But subjectively, it is an invisible psychological pressure for the away team. As the host, Ferguson can certainly reach out to shake hands with the Manchester United fans behind him when he takes the coach seat. The scene is warm. But for Lin Sen. When he appears here, his identity is the head coach, and behind his head, there is a group of Manchester United fans who are definitely not friendly, almost within reach.

This is really exciting.

Lin Sen smiled bitterly in his heart. However, he also knew that most of the Manchester United fans behind the coaching seat were fans who held season tickets, and most of them had been "screened" by Manchester United clubs. After all, they were not afraid of anything but feared if they were. If the extreme fans stood behind the visiting coaching seat, then, if there was any accident, the most unlucky one would be the home team.

There is a stand for every stadium that belongs to die-hard fans, such as the North Stand of Mejacha and the South Stand of San Siro. In Old Trafford, this stand is located at the west Stand to the left of Linson's sight, and at this time it has become a sea of ​​red. Because it is adjacent to the town of Ford, this stand is also called the end of Stretford, and the various banners hanging on it are also called the end of Stretford. Before the game, the live footage of the game deliberately gave the close-up of the west Stand. Since the Manchester City League Cup had won the previous 33-year history of no championship, the famous time-checking banner here has now become history.

The far opposite to the west stands is the east stand where the away team Manchester City fans gather. Since the Old Trafford Stadium is the largest in the Premier League, the FA gave Manchester United special regulations on the away team ticket allocation, that is, they do not need to allocate away team tickets according to the usual 15% of the usual Manchester City fans, so there are about 8,000 Manchester City fans in the east stands in this game, which is actually equivalent to nearly 20% of Manchester City's home games. Of course, the number of dead enemies has never been the key. Every season's Manchester derby is the busiest time for Manchester police, and this year will be no exception.

The game is almost a replica of the League Cup final between the two sides. It is not only dull, but also dull, but Manchester City still scored a goal away.

And just like the last time, he used a corner kick. However, this time it was far less refined than the last time. David Silva took a corner kick and Adriano headed the ball.

Adriano, who scored the goal, raised his index finger, not provoking the home fans, but pointing high towards the sky, thanking God.

This is his seventh goal in the league this season. Seventeen appearances and seven goals. Not to mention reaching his peak, it can only be considered as barely reaching his career average. But Adriano doesn't care, because he knows Linson won't care. Manchester City has enough attackers. Adriano who can score goals is of course better, but Adriano who can create goals is also not bad.

When Adriano scored, Linson did not run down from the stands. He just stood up and raised his arms.

It’s the first time I’m visiting someone else’s house, so be polite.

Adriano's goal triggered the applause of Manchester City fans in the east stands, but it did not hit the enthusiasm of Manchester City fans at home. The high singing and applause never went out in the game. This is the Dream Theater, and there is never a lack of magic here. Even though they have lost to their mortal enemies twice this season, they still believe that the team can give them a satisfactory answer here.

Ferguson crossed his hands and fingers between his legs, and still looked at the stadium calmly.

The team fell behind again.

Manchester United's luck this season seemed to be completely used up in the first half of the first leg of the two sides. Manchester United was unlucky afterwards, with main central defender Ferdinand and main goalkeeper Van der Sar constantly getting injured, which kept Manchester United's defense line in a sub-healthy state, especially the goalkeeper position. He has cheated Manchester United many times this season. Neither Kuzchak nor Ben Foster can replace the position of a Dutch veteran.

In this game, Ferguson changed his team to 451, Berbatov was taken away, Rooney was single-arrow, and midfielder Ferguson chose to trust young player Gibson. The "two elders of Xuanming" Giggs and Scholes, who performed well in two games against Manchester City, jointly attacked. This arrangement did give Manchester United some advantages in the midfield.

Unfortunately, these advantages have been slow to turn into goals.

Even Ferguson had to admit that Manchester City's defense has made obvious progress in the first and second half. In the first half, Manchester City won 12 games, draws six games, and loses one game. In the second half, it is close to the end of the league. Manchester City has only tied three games so far, and recently achieved an amazing eight-game winning streak in the league. The English media, who likes to create gods, has made Lin Sen a great coach.

It's just the word "great", so it's not that simple.

As the game entered the last ten minutes, both Ferguson and Linsen had already played their final trump card. Linsen replaced Adriano with Suarez, while Ferguson replaced Rooney with Berbatov.

The two same forward lines are adjusted, but the substitution is exactly the opposite.

Linson wants speed, while Ferguson obviously wants height, which is in line with the current score and situation of the two teams. Manchester City needs to fight back, while Manchester United needs simplicity.

The game continued, and Lin Sen began to force the urge to suppress himself to look at his watch. His team still led 1-0, away, at Old Trafford.

If Manchester City can successfully maintain the score until the end of the game today, then Manchester City will take the absolute initiative to win the championship, because before the start of this game, the drama of falling behind continued to be staged. Arsenal lost 2-3 to Wigan Athletic away, and it can almost be said to have completely withdrawn from the championship. Of course, what makes Manchester City fans the most happy is that Chelsea finally joined the fall behind, and they lost one-to-two in the away game with Tottenham.

This means that if Manchester City wins today, then Manchester City's lead will be expanded to five points. With only three rounds left in the league, this is undoubtedly a huge advantage.

Manchester City fans in the stands have already stood up. They sang Manchester City's team song "Blue Moon". The songs that were always described as sad in the past seem particularly energetic at this time. The referee is already looking at the watch, and his whistle may sound at any time. This will be Manchester United's last attack.

Vidic directly dribbled the ball through the half, and then he handed the ball to Giggs on the left, but he did not retreat, but rushed directly into the opponent's penalty area. Now, defense is meaningless.

Giggs looked up at the penalty area. At this time, Manchester City's penalty area was far from the chaos as imagined. Even at this time, Manchester City's defensive position was still clearly hierarchical. If there was still time for the game, Giggs would never mind organizing it more at this time. But now, time is already in seconds. He was about to force a cross, but at this time, a person rushed up from his back.

Evra.

Giggs' arch turned, and the cross on the inside of his foot turned into a light stroke on the outside of his foot.

The ball went to the bottom line, just right.

Evra did not stop the ball and directly made a cross.

There seems to be no difference between two passes, one true and one false, but it was a few seconds late, but for the defense, these few seconds were very fatal. The originally distinctive Manchester City defense line was shaken by Giggs, and a rift appeared.

Evra's passing quality is extremely high.

The ball flew directly over Kompani's head and quickly fell down.

It just landed in the open area between Kompany and Dunn.

Like the last contest, at the most critical moment, De Jong lost Scholes again. Of course, rather than saying that De Jong was not focused, Scholes' grasp of the fighter jets was really impeccable at the critical moment.

Scholes, who is 1.70 meters tall, is like a low-altitude bomber.

The landing point was found accurately.

Then, the bombardment was at the exact position.

At this moment, Old Trafford Stadium created the best explosion sound effect for their heroes. Ferguson, who had already half-standing up when Evra made a cross, rushed out of the stands...
Chapter completed!
