Super Training Master

The start of Wigan Athletic's season is somewhat dreamy.

Their performance at the start of the game was quite gorgeous, and even jumped into the top three of the league, second only to Chelsea and Manchester City, and is considered the biggest dark horse of the season.

At that time, some media compared them with Derbyshire. Derbyshire created the miracle of the promotion of the newly promoted horse last season. Wigan Athletic also achieved outstanding results, but their luck seems a bit bad. Manchester City and Chelsea this season, They are much stronger than last season, so they can only be ranked third in the league.

As the league went round after round, when other teams were familiar with the newly promoted team, they began to show weakness in the small club lineup and lack of experience in the Premier League.

Wigan Athletic was promoted to the Premier League for the first time in history, with no experience at all, even for coach Javier. As a result, their results and rankings have gradually declined, but due to the accumulation of the beginning of the season, they are still still In the top ten second echelon.

But this result is nothing in front of Manchester City.

Manchester City are the first in the league and stronger than Chelsea. Wansheng led Derby County last season to get the first in the league. The media have reason to believe that even if Manchester City are worse next, they will certainly be able to maintain the top four, and Wigan Athletic is difficult to enter the top six, their strong early in the season, but only to keep them in the middle of the league.

This is the gap between the two teams in the league rankings.

But when it comes to the match between the two teams, there is a difference. In the league, there was a match between the two teams. At that game, Wigan Athletic 2: 2 drew Manchester City. They scored two consecutive goals in the second half, which gave people a deep insidiousness. It is even more memorable that Manchester City did not score a three-pointer in the rare season in the league.

So when the two teams met in the semifinals of the League Cup. No one dares to say that Wigan Athletic will fail.

Before the game, many media were still optimistic about Wigan Athletic, their biggest reason is Manchester City's recent injury problems.

"Without Anelka, without David Silva. Without Sinclair, it will be a question whether Manchester City can send all eleven starters ..."

This is just an exaggeration.

But the meaning implicit in many media is that. They believe that Manchester City has suffered from injury and many main players cannot play, and it is naturally difficult to play hard bones like Wigan Athletic.

"Man City wanted to eliminate Wigan Athletic in the League Cup." This is the final conclusion of the commentator, and there are also media that hate Man Sheng very directly, ironically, "It is not easy to say whether Manchester City will go all out to deal with the game. , That Chinese is very utilitarian, he will give up all other games for the league results. Not to use the League Cup, Wigan Athletic has a greater chance of winning, they should pursue something in the cup ... "The so-called" Pursuing 'Nature' refers to getting tickets for entering the Millennium Stadium.

It was because of these media reports that Manchester City was more and more indignant and paid more attention to the game. When Wansheng inspired the players, everyone was immediately stirred up.

This is reflected in the game, Manchester City is very fierce.

This was the case at the beginning of the game.

Wigan Athletic played against Manchester City at Christmas, when Manchester City demonstrated outstanding technical and control abilities. Just because of bad luck, or that Wigan Athletic performed too well in the second half. The goal was broken twice in a row, so Wigan Athletic scored a point.

So they were prepared for Manchester City's control, but now it is different. Manchester City has not only displayed extraordinary control in the opening, but also very fierce in the fight. As a result, when Manchester City attacked, Wigan Athletic can only passively defend. Come over when they attack. It is also very difficult to play in the midline, because in their own half. Manchester City's defense began.

"There is no way to beat Wigan Athletic ..."

This is George Woodgate's summary of the first 20 minutes of the game.

In the past 20 minutes, Manchester City has an absolute advantage. Regardless of the number of passes, possession time, shots, etc., all have an absolute upper hand. In contrast, Wigan Athletic has only defense and defense, and some media have to admit, "Although Manchester City have more casualties recently, they There is still a big advantage in playing against the small club ... "

There are also hard-pressed media who simply do not accept defeat because Manchester City have not scored a goal yet. They hope Wigan Athletic will become an away game for Manchester City. Last time Wigan Athletic did it, although they were passive, they scored two consecutive goals in the second half There is no way for Manchester City.

Football, after all, is a game where the score determines the outcome.

Unfortunately, these media were quickly disappointed, because Manchester City not only has fighting spirit and suppression, but also has a state in front of the goal. The game went to the 32nd minute, the first goal appeared, this is Mu Sampa made a free kick from the side and Andy Cole shot the ball directly into the goal eight meters in front of the goal.

"Andy Cole !!"

"1: 0! Manchester City scored a goal!"

Andy Cole ’s goal has made Manchester City fans into a carnival. In fact, many Manchester City fans have similar concerns, because the team only suppresses and does not score, so for a long time, it is easy to fall into the dilemma of not scoring. Now that there is a goal, the situation is completely different, they can rest assured to enjoy the game.

Soon they became more at ease.

Before the end of the first half, Morris' straight pass in the middle gave the veteran Reina a chance, but the experienced Reina gave the ball to the back point.

His movements deceived almost all defensive players.

As a result, all Wigan players could barely watch the Belgian teenager Reto Ziegler, who was overtaken after the point, completed the volley. The nine-meter push in front of the goal made the goalkeeper Ferran helpless. With both hands, he didn't even react at all.

Reto Ziegler's goal reassured Manchester City fans.

At this time, the extreme media have all shut their mouths. With Manchester City leading by two goals, they hope that Wigan Athletic will only win their minds, but they still have hope, because this is the League Cup half. In the finals, the League Cup semi-finals are different from the previous League Cup games, in which the host and guest decide the victory in two rounds, that is to say. Even if Wigan Athletic loses the game, they still have a chance to make a comeback at Manchester Stadium.

But if the two goals are lost, their chances are slim. You know, it ’s in the jjb stadium now. Wigan Athletic's home court, both lost at home, can anyone expect them to go to Manchester Stadium to beat Manchester City? It's a little whimsical to count!

Therefore, the media that are hostile to Manchester City only hope that Wigan Athletic will score a goal. As long as they can score a goal, the suspense will remain for the second round, and there will be a chance.

Perhaps their ideas are good and their pursuit is not high. But the opening of the second half, Morris' goal completely let them despair.

This was the fifty-first minute of the game. Just five minutes passed in the second half. After a few waves of attack by Wigan Athletic, Manchester City regained control of the situation. They used continuous passes and running to make Wigan only again They chose to contract the defense line to deal with it, but Manchester City's sudden fast break caught them off guard.

Manchester City made five consecutive kicks in the middle and left, and finally the ball reached Morris. He crossed to Andy Cole, who then passed back. Wigan Athletic's defensive player made a running mistake and gave Morris a chance after he received the pass. He didn't even have time to adjust the angle before lifting his foot to shoot.

Such a comfortable shot is rare in the game.

Morris also seized the opportunity, he kicked the ball directly to the far corner, goalkeeper Ferran predicted the right direction, but still failed to knock the ball.

3: 0!

The outcome is set!

Sky TV commentator George Woodgate made the conclusion, "It seems that Manchester City has already booked a ticket to the Millennium Stadium!" Then he began to talk about the League Cup semi-finals held yesterday, "Yesterday Manchester City away 1 : 1 draw against Blackburn, this score is good for away. Back to Old Trafford, Manchester United has a chance. Maybe we can already look forward to the Manchester Derby on the Millennium Stadium! "

As for Wigan Athletic, there is no need to mention it. Because they will almost certainly lose the game.

...

The game ended at 0: 3 and Manchester City won the away game. As George Woodgate said, there is a 0: 3. Manchester City stepped into the Millennium Stadium without worrying about the next round. .

Also like George Woodgate said, fans have begun to look forward to Manchester Derby.

But not the Manchester Derby at the Millennium Stadium, but a normal league. Three days after the end of the League Cup with Wigan Athletic, Manchester City will host Manchester United at home for the second match of the season.

The first round of the Premier League was Manchester Derby. At that time Manchester City challenged Manchester United away. The game was played at Old Trafford Stadium. That game is still fresh in memory, because in the end Manchester City won five goals, even the most fanatical Manchester City fans will not think of this result. For Manchester City fans, the game was too happy.

Now the two teams are about to meet again.

For Manchester United, this is a "revenge" battle. The first five goals of the Premier League defeat is their shame. To complete their revenge, they must also defeat Manchester City to determine the dominance of Manchester United football in Manchester. .

In fact, Manchester United's situation is not good.

A trip to Cardiff (League Cup final) next month is certainly not as good as a visit to the France Stadium (the Champions League final venue) in May, but considering that Manchester United have been out of the European War, and Chelsea and Manchester City have In the fact that they are far ahead in the league standings, Manchester United coach Ferguson can only try his best to eliminate Blackburn and fight for a ticket to the league final. This is also the only two seasons since Manchester United (the other is the FA Cup ) A chance to compete for the championship trophy up close.

Their league championship is hopeless, the European tournament is out, so they can only fight for the cup, but Blackburn is by no means an opponent to deal with, so in order to get closer to this trophy that was regarded as "chicken ribs" in the past, the Lord also spared no effort with his former disciples, Black The coach Mark Hughes played "smoke bomb tactics".

On the eve of the game, the old jazz also vowed that he would not send the strongest lineup in Ewood Park. The excuse was to fight the Manchester City derby. However, on Wednesday, only Manchester United's absolute main force, Fanny, did not start, but the Dutch also He came off the bench in the 82nd minute.

Ferguson ’s surprising emphasis on this game may not only be related to the team ’s desire for championship. Blackburn, who has already won five straight games before the game, is by no means an easy opponent. More importantly, although Ferguson led the team this season Defeated Brian Robson (West Bromwich) and Bruce (Birmingham coach) in the League Cup, but as another young coach of the "Ferguson", Hughes has not taken over from Blackburn Have tasted the taste of defeat in the direct confrontation with the teacher. In other words, Blackburn led by Hughes is undefeated against Manchester United.

In fact, in the 16 months since the former Welsh head coach entered Ewood Park. So far, he has only lost 2 of 14 cups.

This makes Ferguson want to lead the team to win.

The match between Blackburn and Manchester United initially confirmed Ferguson's concerns. Even with Manchester United as the main player, it fell for the time being. Blackburn almost took the lead after only 30 seconds from the start of the game, but it was Manchester United who broke the other goal first. The veteran Giggs sent just a good substitute for Saa, who started Fanny. 'S direct pass, the latter used speed to get rid of the defender and calmly hit the door dead corner, this is already the Frenchman's fourth goal in the League Cup this season.

Even though he scored the first goal, this goal did not help Manchester United to win the last six visits to Ewood Park.

It is worth mentioning that Manchester United last defeated Blackburn on January 22, 2003. The 3 to 1 victory also happened to be a League Cup semi-final (second round). As a result, the Red Devils eliminated their opponents into the final with a total score of 4 to 2, and finally only lost to Huo 0 to 2 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. Lier led the Red Army.

Coincidentally, this time it was Blackburn's defeat that happened to be the Norwegian left-back Pedersen, who scored two yuan on September 24 last year and helped the team beat Manchester United 2 to 1 away. The so-called Manchester United fan, nickname A young man named "Norway Beckham" successfully scored with Gary Neville's missed shot just 5 minutes after Saa scored, and then ferried his teammate Kuch's header to the right foot that he was not good at. Draw into the far corner of the gate.

However, while Manchester United is difficult to win, it can also be seen that the second half took the initiative but was replaced by Manchester United. Although Manchester United failed to turn the advantage of the scene into a victory, it also shows that Manchester United should not be underestimated.

Hughes took a round after the game and complained that Stiles failed to send the "thug" Smith a red card. Otherwise, "the game is likely to have another result."

Ferguson eschewed this topic and instead focused people's attention on the second round of the game, "Today's result is satisfactory. But the game is not over. Blackburn also beat us at Old Trafford not long ago. , I will (round 2) give a good reminder to our players. "

Then Ferguson was asked about the upcoming Manchester Derby.

The media reporter wanted Ferguson to talk about his views on Derby, and the old jazz seemed ready for this. He said directly, "Their performance is very strong, but we are confident to welcome the game. To borrow a sentence from him (Wan Sheng), This is a game that must be won for us. "

This answer annoys media reporters. In fact, they want Ferguson to talk about Manchester City's recent injuries. But Ferguson was obviously experienced, so he would not leave the reporter. "Manchester United can only take advantage of Manchester City's injury to win."

Then the question was pushed to Wansheng.

After playing against Wigan Athletic, Wan Sheng was immediately asked about Derby. Ferguson ’s ‘must win’ was also placed in front of him.

Wan Sheng just smiled slightly, and said like a chatter, "He said that? It's interesting. It's my pleasure to borrow my words, but I think my words will only work if I say them."

Many reporters laughed.

These are the reporters who support Manchester City. They like to hear Wan Sheng say bad things about Manchester United ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Then another reporter asked Wan Sheng to talk about their views on Manchester United's recent situation. This is the first time this kind of question has been asked. When Wan Sheng heard it, he was stunned. Looking at it again, he was a reporter from the Manchester Sports News.

In the past, no reporter would ask him to talk about Manchester United. If he did so, he would be questioned by the reporter, "What is his qualification to talk about Manchester United?" As for what he said, it is not important at all.

But now it is different.

Reporters who support Manchester United want Wan Sheng to talk about Manchester United and comment on Manchester United's situation.

This shows that Wansheng has already had a great influence, and even qualified to talk about dead enemies.

Wan Sheng felt a sense of accomplishment, so he smiled at the Manchester United reporter for the first time and talked about the situation of Manchester United. (To be continued)
