Chapter 669 Manchester Derby

The whole of England is talking about the upcoming Manchester derby!

In the land of England, not only have countless superstars emerged, but many great teams have been born, and the historical grievances between derby opponents are part of the English football culture!

The word Derby comes from England.

One theory is derived from the Derby horse race founded in 1780 by the 12th Earl of Derby. "Derby" is a small town in Derby, England, where horse racing is held in the United Kingdom, and the horses produced in Derby are well-known in the British horse racing industry. Originally a term used for horse racing, Hou Lan gradually extended it to the game between two teams from the same city, which is the derby battle. Of course, there is also a saying that comes from the annual Shrove Day and the first day of Lent, the football game of the Aspen Superstars in Deberdale, central England. The game is held on two days from 2 pm to 10 pm, and the whole town is divided There are two teams, the players are divided into the north and south of the Henmore Brook (Henmore Brook) that flows through the town, one team is called "Up'Ards" and the other team is "Down'Ards". , the gantry is three miles apart, and the ball game is held in the whole town, which is a famous local festival project.

In England, there are many very famous derby battles, Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham, and later due to the bad relationship between Liverpool and Manchester United, people also put The match between the two best teams in England is called the "England Derby"!

The Manchester derby is certainly one of the most famous of the innumerable derbies in England.

As with any major rival team, banter between the fans of the two teams is commonplace, with Manchester United fans often making fun of City's long absence of a major trophy; with Old Trafford just outside the city boundaries, Manchester City fans It is said that Manchester United is not from Manchester City at all. Both teams have a long history and a good record. Manchester City had a slight advantage in the 1950s and 1970s, but Manchester United reversed the situation after the 1990s. As for the support in Manchester, it is 505, East Manchester. Residents are more supportive of Manchester City, while Manchester United fans come from the West and around the world.

The confrontation between these two teams has never lacked passion and topic.

September 20, 2009 Manchester United home 4-3 stoppage time lore Manchester City, Rooney opened the scoring in this game, Barry seized Ben Foster's mistakes to equalize the score, Fletcher made Manchester United twice in the 49th and 80th minutes. Leading, but Bellamy equalized the score twice, Owen received Giggs's pass in the 6th minute of stoppage time, and drew an end to this crazy derby. After the game, Ferguson said "this is probably the best derby", while then Manchester City manager Mark Hughes said "We are very disappointed, we really tried our best today."

This game has been called the best game of the Premier League in 20 years!

Such a classic game has been staged many times in the city of Manchester, and every red and blue battle is a grand event in the city of Manchester!

In terms of performance, Manchester United undoubtedly has an absolute advantage. They are the team that has won the most top-flight championships in England, while Manchester City has missed the league championship for almost half a century.

Before that, Ferguson had called Manchester City "noisy neighbours".

This sentence fully confirms Manchester United's disdain for Manchester City.

In their opinion, Manchester City, who compete with them in the small pool of Manchester, is actually just a small team. They live under the huge shadow of Manchester United. Even if there is no Manchester United, the popularity of Manchester City is a team. Maybe it will go down.

But in the past two years, with the capital injection of the Abu Dhabi consortium, Manchester City began to rise!

They seem to be replicating Chelsea's rise, buying big names and getting better results.

Especially last season, their competition for the league title with Manchester United lasted until the final round of the season,

In the end, Manchester United only won the championship with the advantage of goal difference!

Noisy neighbors turned into powerful upstarts.

The Manchester United fans are obviously not used to it.

Maybe it's because the grades are getting closer. The derby opponents and the title contenders add up to the double hatred, which makes Manchester completely split into a red and blue lineup.

Everyone is waiting, waiting for the head-to-head match at the Etihad Stadium on December 9!

......

The atmosphere of the derby grew stronger as the time approached.

When the day's training was over, Gao Bo took a taxi at the gate of the base, and even the taxis in Manchester were divided into camps.

Only taxi drivers who belong to the blue camp will come to the city football academy.

Glenn is an old acquaintance of Gao Bo, and he is waiting at the door at six o'clock every afternoon for the team's head coach.

He planted a blue flag belonging to Manchester City in front of the car, clearly expressing his position.

When Gao Bo got in the car, the taxi driver, who was over forty years old, immediately started the car and went to the hotel where Gao Bo lived.

Gao Bo was still living in a hotel a few months after he came to Manchester. He planned to wait for a while before he was less busy, so he would find a house, preferably one closer to the City Football Academy. Then he went to buy a car - his car in Spain was given by a sponsor, he didn't like it very much, so when he left Madrid, he gave the car directly...

"Do you listen to the radio?"

"certainly!"

Glenn turned on the radio.

He didn't bother Gao Bo too much. He knew that now is the crucial time before the game and the coach needs to rest.

During the broadcast, a football broadcast on Sky Radio began.

"We welcome today's line-up of guests, Gary Neville, Souness, and former Oasis member and die-hard Manchester City fan Liam Gallagher!!"

Glenn couldn't help whistling. This Liam is undoubtedly an absolute Manchester City loyalist. This guy often quarrels with Manchester United fans on Twitter, so now the media also like to invite him on the show.

Gary Neville, the former captain of Manchester United, has also appeared regularly on various football programmes since his retirement.

Today's topic is of course about Manchester.

The first to speak was Gary Neville, who expressed his attitude at the beginning: "Hello, audience friends, I'm Gary Neville. Manchester City have been in good form recently, they beat Chelsea. But Guardiola is also putting his Combining the tactical concept and the spirit of Manchester United, I think Manchester United is the strongest team in the Premier League now!! Manchester derby, Manchester United will be more likely to win!"

Then it was Liam's turn. In the broadcast room, he pouted when Gary Neville was speaking. He didn't agree with Gary Neville's statement, but before rebutting, he also teased the Manchester United captain. He pointed Souness said: "It's a pleasure to sit next to a football legend today...and of course Gary Neville!"

Glenn whistled suddenly.

Liam's teasing made all Manchester City fans burst into laughter.

Gao Bo, who was sitting in the back row, also smiled.

Before the start of the derby, such little jokes may have eased a little bit of tension between the two sides.

However, this also shows the weight of this derby in the hearts of fans of both sides!
