After all the same post-match interviews and press conferences, everyone returned to Manchester.
Manchester City's generals once again climbed onto the podium in just a few days. Although they only won "small championships" such as the European Super Cup and the Community Shield, although such a plot has been staged last year, there has never been such a thing as a championship. No one will find it too much. On the contrary, in the competitive world, achievements such as "N consecutive championships" are quite respected. Manchester City has proved with facts that their success last season was not accidental. This season they are still the winners of various championships. Strong contenders, other than exclaiming "The wolf is coming again" according to the script, the Premier League teams can only walk around and pray that Manchester City will commit suicide and make some cool moves such as delegating Yang Feng to the youth team.
On August 29, the Premier League restarted after 76 days, which was the shortest league interval in the history of the Premier League.
The opening game started at Old Trafford. Rooney's shot led to Walker's own goal. Manchester United defeated Tottenham Hotspur 1-0 at home and got a good start.
Manchester City's side is blooming more. Yang Feng, Silva and Kroos scored respectively, and they beat West Bromwich Albion 3-0 in an away game to start this season's Premier League journey.
On September 12, in the second round of the Premier League, the first Manchester City derby of the season started at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester United has undergone drastic reforms this season under the auspices of Louis van Gaal. This away game against the soaring Blue Moon is undoubtedly a big test for Chef Van Gaal.
Naturally, this kind of competition does not require much mobilization. Everyone is already gearing up and waiting for a big fight.
"Viewers, welcome to the Etihad Stadium. A highlight match of the Premier League this season is about to start here. I am Zhan Jun. Sitting next to me is the familiar director Zhang Luzhang. This match We will explain it to you..."
"Both teams have won in the first round and Manchester City currently top the Premier League on goal difference."
"Van Gaal played a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Goalkeeper: 20-Romero;
Defenders: 36-Damian, 12-Smaling, 17-Blinder, 23-Luke Shaw;
Midfielder: 16-Carrick, 28-Schneiderlin;
Midfielder: 8-Mata, 7-Depay, 11-Januzai;
Forward: 10-Rooney.
What is more surprising is that De Gea has not been included in the match list for two consecutive rounds. According to the British media BBC, he has even been sent to the reserve team. "
"It seems that De Gea has decided to make his own decision. According to a report in "Marca", Manchester United still hopes to renew De Gea's contract, and the salary offered is much higher than that of Real Madrid, but even if De Gea is still unmoved and I wonder if Van Gaal can make him change his mind."
"Look at Manchester City.
Peglerini's arrangement is 4-3-3. Sterling, who just joined the team this summer, won the starting opportunity and will appear at the left winger position. As for the choice of the back line, Peglerini Rini still put two veterans Clichy and Zabaleta into the starting lineup, while Cancelo and Welchier both sat on the bench.
Goalkeeper: Oblak;
Defenders: Clichy, Kompany, Van Dijk, Zabaleta;
Midfielder: Kante, Silva, De Bruyne;
Forwards: Sterling, Aguero, Yang Feng. "
"Manchester City has introduced two wingers, Sane and Sterling, this season, but these two are best at the left wing. How to arrange them will probably give Pellegrini a headache..."
"Sterling was last year's Golden Boy Award winner, Rooney was the Golden Boy in 2004, Aguero was the Golden Boy in 2007, and Yang Feng was the Golden Boy in 2012. This game is a rare event where the four golden boys Competing on the same field.”
"Hehe, three against one, Rooney, this is Lu Bu fighting against three heroes. The pressure on his shoulders is not small."
"Yes, in the blink of an eye, Lu Xiaopang is now the mainstay of the Red Devils..."
In the player tunnel, the mental state of the two teams formed a sharp contrast.
The fighting spirit of the Manchester City team is visible to the naked eye. The players are even in the mood to chat and laugh. They are not preparing for a derby at all. Looking around, everyone in Manchester United is as if they are facing a powerful enemy. The expressions on their faces are so solemn that they can almost drip water. .
This was Sterling's first start on behalf of Manchester City in an official game. Not only was he not nervous, but he looked eager to try, which made Yang Feng worry that he was too happy.
His worry was not unreasonable. He was not even thinking about the competition. Instead, he said enthusiastically: "Yang, I heard that you are holding a beast party next week? Can I attend?"
"Beast party?" Yang Feng looked confused, "Again?"
"Yeah," Sterling was immediately more confused than him, "Everyone said..."
"Okay, stop talking, I understand." Yang Feng patted his forehead.
His home has almost become a zoo now, and they are all tigers, lions, seahorses, rare horses, and rare ones. He has imitated the tricks of the Middle Eastern tycoons. Under his influence, many people in the team also keep them. With these things, every team gathering is like a forest conference, which is probably how the name "Beast Party" came about.
Sterling was obviously very curious about this party, "I only have a husky at home, can I attend?"
"...What do you think?"
"Um, then I get a lion? Or can you help me get a panda?"
"...I really want to get a panda, and I can exchange it for a Golden Globe."
"Huh? Didn't it mean that every Chinese has one?"
The person next to him who had had the same idea before burst into laughter. Aguero said: "Yes, Rahim, you don't know, when Yang came to report, he came on a panda."
"Yes, his panda also knows martial arts and almost beat the crap out of my Maid... Oh, Maid is my lion."
"Stop talking, I was punched by it last time, and my chest still hurts."
Sterling looked at this and that, feeling like they were teasing him, but couldn't find any evidence.
"Okay, okay," Yang Feng interrupted, "As long as you can score or assist in this game, I will invite you."
"real?"
"More real than pandas."
In the eyes of Manchester United generals who wanted to eat people, the people of Manchester City finally ended this topic that had nothing to do with the game.
When the players entered the field, the tensed fans from both sides in the stands cheered to welcome their players.
"Yang, kill them!"
"5-0!"
"Rooney, come to Manchester City and ease your pain!"
"Robots get out of the Premier League!"
"Three consecutive championships! Seven consecutive championships!"
Accompanied by chaotic slogans, the players from both sides stood apart. Kompany won the coin guessing game and Manchester City kicked off first.
The Manchester United team had long been frightened by Yang Feng's pile of fastest goal records. As soon as the ball came out, several of their midfielders immediately retreated sharply, fearing a lightning surprise attack from the opposite side.
The approach is safe enough, but you are afraid of what will happen.
As soon as the ball was passed to Sterling by Aguero, Yang Feng had already rushed out like an arrow.
Sterling knocked the ball back, and Silva immediately kicked the ball in the direction of Yang Feng's movement with a long pass.
"F***K!" Carrick did not dare to neglect and immediately intercepted him head-on.
Depay was chasing after him, and the two of them directly attacked Yang Feng, who was still off the ball.
Yang Feng could only turn around and put his back against Carrick's chest to stop the ball. However, he did not let the ball fall to his feet. Instead, he gently touched it. The football jumped up again and landed on his shoulder, as if it was sucked. It stopped firmly on his shoulder, and as he turned around, he directly connected the ball with others behind Carrick.
The football fell from the shoulder socket, but it did not land on the ground. Instead, it was pushed forward by the thigh.
Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu were already shouting, but in the Sky Sports studio, Lineker was even more excited than the two of them. "Yang passed the ball without stopping and got rid of Carrick, and continued to advance forward with the ball..." He is simply not playing in the Premier League, but playing ball with the children in the alley downstairs of his grandma's house..."
Yang Feng reached the penalty area line with the ball and volleyed directly.
The football drew a curve and landed heavily in the middle of the goal. Romero did not dare to be careless and dragged the ball over the crossbar with both hands.
Corner kick.
"It's a pity that Manchester City almost got a dream start. Young's shot was very powerful, but he hit it too straight..."
"Yang Feng's condition is as good as ever. Manchester City won a corner kick right after the game started."
There were sighs of regret in the stands, but Yang Feng himself didn't care and walked towards the corner flag area.
Players from both sides crowded in front of the goal. Yang Feng waved his hand to signal his teammates to step back and not get too close to the goal.
Several people immediately understood what he meant and took a few steps back, but they were all ready to shoot again.
Yang Feng looked at the goal again, moved two steps toward the baseline, and after adjusting, used the instep of his inside foot to hit an exaggerated curve ball.
The football drew a "C" shaped trajectory and flew towards the back of the goal.
The Manchester United players just wanted to rush over to defend, but found that there was no one at the back.
"Shoot directly?"
"careful!"
"Pounce quickly!"
Romero had not imagined that Yang Feng would knock on the door directly, but he suppressed the thought as soon as he thought of it. Who knew that this idiot would really do this?
He moved quickly, but it was obviously too late.
"Bang!"
"Aguero!!! The ball is in!"
"Yang Feng's corner kick hit the crossbar and bounced into the penalty area. Aguero scored with a late shot. Manchester City took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to knock on the door of Manchester United! It's a pity that this corner kick did not fly directly into the goal. In the goal, it can be seen that Yang Feng’s intention is to hit the goal directly, but a direct goal from a corner kick is always rare, so it is an unexpected bonus to turn it into an assist.”
"Just over three minutes into the game, Manchester City took the lead! Young made a wonderful collaboration with the crossbar, helping Aguero open his Premier League goal account this season."
Akun didn't expect to score a goal so easily and happily. He ran towards Yang Feng with a smile, and stretched out his arms to pounce on Yang Feng as soon as he got close.
"Haha, I'm sorry, the goal turned into an assist, I just want to say...well done!"
Yang Feng hugged him hard, and then pushed him to his teammates who rushed from behind, "You were smart and didn't waste such a good opportunity."
Van Gaal's face was livid, or he had never looked better since coming to Manchester United. He seemed to be sulking with someone. He just sat in his seat without saying a word, which made the players on the field even more confused.
Until Manchester City finished celebrating and stood back in their own half, Manchester United's players still felt like they were in a dream.
Van Gaal seemed to have woken up from a dream and stood on the sidelines, but he just waved to the players and signaled everyone to continue playing.
Manchester United kicked off the game. I originally thought that this game would be easier for Manchester City with one less player in the midfield than usual. Unexpectedly, Kante's leather suddenly flew into the air today and transformed into a blue iron box, almost completing the game by himself. The entire midfield.
Of course, in the eyes of Manchester City fans, this scene is because Kante is awesome, but in the eyes of Manchester United fans, it is because their players are too good.
At this moment they miss Giggs and Scholes extremely.
Manchester City thought they were about to face a burst of "cruel revenge" and "ferocious counterattack". Who knew that this was it?
Then I'm still being polite to you.
De Bruyne and Silva immediately began to organize an offensive, and the front trident composed of Yang Feng, Akun, and Sterling also began to attack the defense line. Manchester United's defense immediately became turbulent.
In the 9th minute, Yang Feng accurately found Sterling with a long pass from the right, but Sterling's shot after cutting in from the left side of the penalty area was blocked by the defender in time.
In the 10th minute, Yang Feng took the ball from a 45-degree angle to find Aguero in the penalty area. The football hit Damian's arm, but the referee Clattenberg refused to make a penalty.
3 minutes later, Manchester City made a comeback. Silva broke through the middle and caused Schneiderlin to receive a yellow card for a foul. Manchester City got a free kick opportunity.
Yang Feng stood in front of the football, preparing to take the penalty.
In just ten minutes, Manchester United's defenders seemed to have gone through a ninety-minute fierce battle. They looked weak. Romero even felt a little uncomfortable when he directed his teammates to form a wall. Good hunch.
The whistle sounded and Yang Feng took a run.
All the noisy voices in the audience suddenly fell silent. Everyone was staring closely at the football that flew out from his feet, and their eyes followed its trajectory quickly.
The football drew an incredible "S"-shaped arc in Romero's expression as if he had seen a ghost, and quickly flew into the upper right corner of the goal.
"GOAL!!! Young scored with a free kick and Manchester City expanded the score!"
"...13 minutes, 2-0???!!! Is this Manchester United? The Red Devils Manchester United? The former Premier League hegemon Manchester United?"
"Viewers, you read it right, this is the second round of the Premier League, Manchester City vs. Manchester United, not a Premier League team vs. an amateur team, nor a Premier League team vs. a League One team, but the famous Manchester City Derby! It starts! In less than 20 minutes, to be precise, it was only the 13th minute, and Manchester City had already knocked on the opponent's door twice! And this is not relying on luck, but Manchester City is really suppressing Manchester United!"
"Manchester United must wake up quickly, otherwise this game will turn into a tragic massacre! The largest points difference in the history of Manchester Derby is Manchester United 5-0 Manchester City in 1994 and Manchester City 6-1 in 2011 Manchester United, if Manchester United doesn't cheer up, these two records will become history today, and these Manchester United players will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"
Reality doesn’t follow logic anymore, it’s still a dick
