Chapter 28 10 Years of Wishes
Messi also attended the pre-match press conference. As the top scorer in the Premier League, Messi has his own views on this game.
"It will be an exciting game and we are ready for everything. Many people are optimistic that we can win the game at home, even my teammates. But I want to tell everyone that Manchester United is always Manchester United. Dong is always Dong. In such a confrontation, I always face it with a humble heart. I hope that my teammates can face it with a high spirit. Personally, during my long-term During the ten years of competition, my team was almost at the top, but the number of victories was very few. I don't want to criticize myself and the team, I just want everyone to know what kind of fierce battle we are facing."
Indeed, Messi has the most say. From Spain to England, from the World Youth Championship to the Olympics and then to the World Cup, Messi seems to be a tragic figure. At 28 years old, he has already seen a lot of things clearly. Although the obsession to win is stronger than before, my mentality has also changed a lot.
"Low-key."
"Low-key Messi, absolutely terrifying Messi."
"He will definitely continue to score goals. If he scores again this time, it will be the 13th consecutive game, right?"
"Even Cristiano Ronaldo can't do it. Cristiano Ronaldo didn't score in the middle two games, and Messi has set an unattainable scoring record in the Premier League."
"Will Manchester United be another graveyard?"
Manchester City fans became excited about Messi's low profile. They had hoped for Aguero before, but in comparison, Messi made them feel safe.
The anxious Manchester United fans came to the Etihad Stadium, their eyes were filled with sky blue, flags were flying, and it was so lively.
Because it is Manchester City's home stadium, the Red Devils are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of fans. After entering the stadium, Manchester City fans have been provoking them.
"Hey, wait until you fail."
"The fourth child is where you should be."
"Just wait until you cry."
…
Compared to Messi's low profile, Manchester City fans are too high-profile. They couldn't find a reason to lose at home. Last season they lost to Manchester United at home, this season they are more eager to defeat Manchester United at home, and the lineup this season is completely different from last season. They have the invincible Messi.
"I really want to see how they look when they lose the game. I remember they shouted like this last year, and the result was haha..."
"I've been holding it in for a long time. Everyone needs to vent. I always feel that they are going to have another tragedy in this game?"
Several old Red Devils fans were still chatting and laughing in the stands, and were not intimidated by the momentum of the Manchester City fans. After watching Manchester City derby for decades, Manchester United mostly laughed at the end. Even if the situation is more pressing this year, they still believe Manchester United.
※※※※
Fifteen minutes before the game, Ferguson suddenly changed his decision and overturned the original starting lineup.
"Ryan, send the starting lineup over immediately! Cancel the original starting lineup."
He handed Giggs a crumpled piece of paper with the names of the starting eleven scrawled on it. Although Giggs was surprised, he didn't say anything and immediately rushed out of the locker room with the paper. Although he is no longer a player, he has now become Ferguson's assistant coach, and his responsibilities are even more important.
When the event staff who handled the starting list saw the list on the paper, their heads were confused. What was written on it? I can't understand it at all.
Fortunately, Giggs has followed Ferguson for more than 20 years, otherwise he would not understand it. With his help, the staff figured out Manchester United's starting lineup.
Originally, Ferguson wanted to play 4312, with Dong Fangzhuo playing as an attacking midfielder, but now Rashford and Mbappe have been removed, leaving only Dong Fangzhuo in front. Ferguson chose to play 451, and Dong Fangzhuo is the 1, with only one forward. forward, adding two midfielders.
Before the war began, he chose a more conservative plan,
Accumulate heavy troops in the midfield, let Dong Fangzhuo charge alone, and leave the offensive task to Dong Fangzhuo...
When BBC's Lineker got the starting list in the live broadcast room, Lineker was surprised.
"hehe,"
"Manchester United's starting XI has changed,"
"Only Dong has a single arrow."
"The midfield is stacked with Di Maria, Bastian Schweinsteiger, Schneiderlin, Lingard, and Mata. Lingard also deliberately moved from the left back position to the midfielder position."
"On the back line are Valencia, Jones, Smalling and Luke Shaw. Rashford and Mbappe, who were originally starters, were both put on the bench. What does this mean? It means that Ferguson is still worried, worried Manchester United cannot withstand Manchester City's attack, and they are also worried that Manchester United's offensive firepower cannot match Manchester City's, so this major adjustment was made."
"Of course, it's also because of Messi..."
"Compared with the Champions League in mid-week, Manchester City has made 4 adjustments. Demichelis and Mangala replaced the two injured central defenders Kompany and Otamendi, and Sagna replaced Zabaleta at right back. Sterling enters the starting lineup."
"Now, players from both sides have appeared at the tunnel! The Manchester City fans at the scene were extremely excited. They chanted the name of Leo Messi. He is Manchester City's biggest support."
Although the fans at the scene were very enthusiastic, Manchester City and Manchester United fans discovered that Dong Fangzhuo, who was standing in the first place, was chatting sideways with Messi, who was standing in the second place? The two of them were still talking and laughing.
"what's the situation?"
"Messi actually chatted with him? What's there to talk about? Aren't they mortal enemies?"
"Isn't it scientific?"
In fact, the two people didn't talk about anything, they just said hello casually, but it was incredible to the fans...
But when both men stood in their respective positions on the field, their expressions became solemn.
Today is their 21st confrontation! In the first 20 confrontations, Messi only achieved 4 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, far behind Dong Fangzhuo.
The game was also broadcast live in Argentina, with a viewership of 8 million.
"Today is Messi's best chance to defeat Dong."
"If you miss this opportunity, big problems may arise again..."
"Only by defeating him can we be ranked number one in the world, and the Golden Globe Award will be a natural progression."
Every year, whenever Messi meets Dong Fangzhuo, it will be the most watched game in Argentina. The wish of Argentinian fans is very simple, that is, they hope to see Messi truly defeat Dong Fangzhuo. It has been ten years since then...
Argentinian fans are miserable enough.
Of course, in China, the number of viewers is 50 million, and they are also looking forward to it...
