Football King Bale

Chapter 300 New Season

Perhaps it was unwilling to face the fact that Manchester City suffered a shocking reversal, and perhaps it was too hopeful that the club could win the first Community Shield in 39 years. Manchester City's official website actually "made an own goal" after the game, not only defeating Manchester United 2:3. The score against Manchester City was in the headlines, and a picture of Dzeko celebrating with team-mate Richards after scoring a goal was also published.

Even when the Manchester United team was celebrating the championship, Manchester City's official website still hung the headlines of Manchester United's 2:3 loss to Manchester City. Careful fans found evidence through screenshots.

Although the staff discovered the mistake a few minutes later and re-corrected the score, the practice of Manchester City's official website was still reduced to a joke.

Even the "Daily Mail" was dumbfounded by the practice of Manchester City's official website: "How do you watch this game?"

Manchester City lost in embarrassment, and the official website made such a big mistake. This year's Community Shield Cup seems destined to leave a lingering impression on Blue Moon fans.

………………

For Manchester United, a big reversal before the start of the season, and a victory over their rivals in the same city, is undoubtedly a very refreshing thing.

From two goals behind at halftime to three goals in the end, the last time Manchester United performed this way in a derby was in the Premier League in November 1993. At that time, Quinn scored twice in 11 minutes in the first half, but Cantona scored twice in the second half. The first two goals tied, and finally Roy Keane completed the reversal lore in the 86th minute.

Perhaps what happened 18 years ago has been forgotten, but there are still cases where Manchester United beat Manchester City in recent seasons.

In the Premier League in September 2009, Irving scored the winning goal in the 6th minute of stoppage time to complete the lore; in April 2010, Scholes scored the only goal in the 3rd minute of stoppage time and created a world war by Gary Neil. The shocking work of Will's passionate kiss.

In the 2010-2011 season that just passed, Manchester City was even triple killed by Manchester United.

On November 10, 2010, in the 12th round of the Premier League, Manchester United was a guest at Manchester City Stadium. Bell's goal in the 25th minute of the first half helped Manchester United beat Manchester City.

On February 12, 2011, in the 27th round of the Premier League, Manchester United faced their rivals in the same city at Old Trafford. Bell sent two assists to help Manchester United beat Manchester City 2:1.

On April 16, 2011, in the FA Cup semi-final, Manchester United met Manchester City again. As a result, at the new Wembley Stadium, Bell first scored a goal, then made a free kick, assisted Pea Hernandez with a free kick, and completed the season's three kills against rivals in the same city. FA Cup final.

………………

There was another episode in this game. During the time when Evra was replaced by Rafael in the 71st minute and Beba came off the bench in the 89th minute, the oldest player on the Manchester United team was 26 years and 1 month old. Young (Young, free translation is young, a pun), there are 4 players born in the 1990s, and this does not count the quasi-90s born in late November 1989. Smalling, and Bell who was also born in 1989.

It is such a young team with an average age of only 22 years old, but completed a three-goal reversal against Manchester City and won the 61st championship trophy in the club's history, while the "cousin" Manchester City only has a poor 12, just like fans in the stands As stated on the banner on the website: what Manchester United has most is honor trophies, but what Manchester City has more is just money.

this match,

Manchester United's advantage over Manchester City can be said to be all-round.

In terms of shooting, Manchester United's 24 shots are fully three times that of Manchester City, which only hits the goal once; and in terms of shots, Manchester United, which hits the target 16 times, is also ten times more than Manchester City, which hits the target 6 times. ! In terms of possession rate, Manchester City only has 40%, while Manchester United is as high as 60%.

Perhaps, Manchester City has the advantage, that is, the two data of fouls and yellow cards. They were far ahead of Manchester United's 11 with 20 fouls, of which Bell was violated 9 times by Manchester City in 45 minutes of playing. And 20 fouls also attracted 5 yellow cards for Manchester City, which is also far more than Manchester United's 2 cards.

Ferguson commented on the aging Chelsea in 2008: "It cannot be said that rejuvenation is necessary, because relying on modern training methods can still play football in the 30s, but what I want to say is that I don't see any What room for improvement is there for a team with such an average age."

Villas-Boas, who took office at the beginning of this summer, still refuses to accept and refute Sir Alex Ferguson, but now it seems that Manchester United is leading the way again. Players under the age of 23 are enough to form a starting lineup. As long as they are paired with a few Mesozoic players, Manchester United will not only win Now, the future is also won.

It's no wonder that Henry Winter, a veteran famous reporter, said: New season, old story... Manchester United, the king of reversals!

………………

Of course, Manchester United also paid some tuition for their youth, mainly because of their young Spanish goalkeeper De Gea.

After Van der Sar returned home this summer and ended his career as a professional player, Ferguson had already decided to sign De Gea, who was not yet 21 years old, from Atletico Madrid as Van der Sar's successor, with a high price of 18 million pounds. It can also be seen that Ferguson wants to right the former Atletico Madrid goalkeeper.

During the pre-season warm-up match, Lindegaard had an extremely good performance, but Ferguson still supported De Gea in the Community Shield and arranged for him to start.

In the first 45 minutes, Manchester United had an absolute advantage in the scene and the number of shots, but anyone could clearly see that De Gea's facial expression was frustrated when he returned to the locker room at midfield, because the team was 0:2 Behind the rivals Manchester City in the same city, and both goals are more or less related to De Gea. The first goal was conceded. Although the two central defenders Vidic and Ferdinand made mistakes in marking Lescott first, De Gea fell to the ground and disarmed before the Manchester City iron guard headed the ball.

Insufficient ability to judge high-altitude balls is a common problem of Spanish goalkeepers, and Liverpool goalkeeper Reina is a lesson from the past; in addition, the cooperation and communication between De Gea and the central defender also exposed the shortcomings at this time due to time and running-in problems.

Ferguson once said when he signed De Gea: "His age does not worry me. His current goal is not to speak English. At this stage, he has only learned a little vocabulary to communicate with defenders. "

If it is a bit harsh to put the responsibility for the first goal on De Gea's head, then there is every reason for the second goal to make Manchester United fans can't help but miss Van der Sar.

At that time, Dzeko took a long shot from a distance of 30 meters. As a result, De Gea, who made a side attack, let the ball fly past his hand and into the net.

This ball can be found out that Anderson did not interfere, and it can be questioned why Vidic didn't block it earlier, but if Van der Sar is there, it may be just a threatening shot by Manchester City and cannot be converted into a conceded goal.

It is worth mentioning that De Gea was the goalkeeper with the most long-range shots scored by opponents in La Liga last season. A total of 11 goals conceded came from long-range shots from outside the penalty area.

As soon as the halftime ended, a group of famous media in England began to criticize De Gea with unanimous caliber, but a fan from Spain bluntly said on Weibo: "England is willing to do this. If it is replaced by Joe Hart, they sure didn't have that much to say."

Foster, who once played for Manchester United, also looked at this issue objectively before the game. He said: "I watched De Gea's game through video. He is very flexible and fast. He looks very comprehensive, but he wants to really succeed Van Gogh. De Sar is definitely not easy, I believe De Gea has what it takes to be successful at Manchester United, but he needs time to adapt to the new role!"

Obviously, laymen watch the excitement, while experts watch the doorway. De Gea gradually revealed his characteristics in the second half, blocking Adam Johnson's tricky shot, supporting Richards' header to the top, and confiscating Dzeko's turn-around push. The Spanish teenager obviously adapted to the atmosphere and rhythm of the competition in the second half.

Manchester United club official website reporter Nick Kopak said: "For Manchester City's second goal, De Gea should have done better, but this does not prove that De Gea is a poor goalkeeper. I think everyone still Better be patient."

………………

Although Manchester United won the fifth championship in 2011, for Manchester United's owner, the Glazer family, they are still not very popular with Red Devils fans.

In the eyes of many Red Devils fans, Glazer, the Yankee who borrowed to buy the club and caused Manchester United's debt to rise, should not be the king of Manchester's talker at all. Glazer just regards Manchester United as his own cash machine. Manchester United under Glazer is now saddled with debts of 400 million pounds, and needs to draw about 40 million pounds a year from the club's income to pay off debts.

The Red Devils fans want Glazer to leave as soon as possible, and it is best to find a reliable successor or a top consortium for the club before getting out of Old Trafford. Glazer is well aware of the demands of the fans , Therefore, when the investment giant UBS (UBS) suggested to him to transfer some of Manchester United's shares, Glazer really planned to transfer 15% to 25% of the shares.

Whether to transfer shares is something that Glazer needs to consider. Ferguson is more concerned about the team itself. The Premier League will start next week, and Manchester United will embark on the journey of defending the title. The time is very dissatisfied, so after winning the Community Shield Cup, Sir Alex complained about it: "We have tried to do something and asked not to let us play in that time period, but Sky TV is the source of all this. Juggernaut, it's difficult to play the Premier League at noon on Saturday after the Champions League midweek."

In order to emphasize how unreasonable the schedule is, Ferguson also gave an example. He said: "Last season we finished a Champions League game against Bayern on Wednesday night, and then played away against Chelsea at noon on Saturday. It was a nightmare and we ended up losing 2-1. What can you do about it? Sacrifice your points? They always let you play these games. Look at what Middlesbrough have been through in recent years, a lot of times they They were relegated before they even played that game because they were bound to lose those three points."
