Chapter 189 Manchester City Derby, Guardiola was present in person

After the first round of the Champions League group stage, supporters of each team and fans of some stars started heated discussions on the Internet.

"The Premier League and La Liga are still strong. This record is far ahead of other leagues!"

"The Premier League is really strong. As for La Liga, except for Barcelona and Real Madrid, the rest are not that good!"

"Haha, don't look down on the teams in the middle of La Liga. If we encounter Atletico Madrid in the knockout stage, even the Premier League teams may not be able to win for sure."

"Indeed, I have watched both La Liga and the Premier League. This Atletico Madrid in the hands of Simeone does have something, much like the previous Dortmund!"

When it comes to Atletico Madrid, fans in the Premier League, especially Chelsea, are speechless.

In last year's European Super Cup, Atletico Madrid defeated Chelsea 4:1.

Not only did it steal the Super Cup trophy from the Champions League champion, it also created the most disparate score in the European Super Cup in the past 20 years.

This score is enough to prove the strength of Atletico Madrid. If you underestimate it, you will probably pay a heavy price.

Thinking that Chelsea had just lost to Basel in the group stage, which was considered weak before the game, Premier League fans became extremely angry and their confidence in speaking became much weaker.

It's hard to say about the other three teams, but with Chelsea's current state, they might even suffer a defeat if they encounter Atletico Madrid again.

In addition to the war of words between fans of the Premier League and La Liga, two major leagues vying for the top spot in the world, fans of some stars have also started quarreling online.

"I, Luo Weiwei, scored a hat trick in thirty minutes, that's awesome!"

"Correction, Ronaldo did not complete the hat trick in 30 minutes, it actually only took 28 minutes!"

"As expected of Cristiano Ronaldo, with this scoring efficiency, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the best in football today, right?"

"It's inevitable. With Bale's assistance this season, I think Real Madrid is sure to win the Champions League!"

Ronaldo's fans praise their star, and Messi fans on the opposite side are not far behind.

"Isn't it just a hat trick? What's so great about this? Messi even performed the miracle of winning five goals in the Champions League last year!"

"Haha, keep a low profile. As the only player in the history of the Champions League to score five goals in a single game, we have to keep a low profile and don't let the fans of a certain diving player think that we are targeting him. After all, this is something they will never be able to accomplish in their lifetime.

Feat!"

"Who is the diver upstairs? Do you have the ability to explain yourself clearly?"

"There are so many players from the five major leagues, and I didn't mention them by name. It was you who picked them up. Is it your fault?"

"This is the quality of El Chapo fans. If you have the ability to defeat Real Madrid on the field, what kind of hero is it if you attack someone personally?"

"You go against the grain and say that others are attacking you personally, so what do you mean by that?"

…

Other fans have long been accustomed to the quarrel between Messi and Ronaldo fans. They don't want to get involved in this kind of dispute. They just want to find a quiet place to continue talking about football.

"Speaking of which, Lin Huang's performance in this game was not very good!"

"One pass and one shot, isn't this performance good enough? Isn't the requirement a bit high?"

"Indeed, this performance is already very good!"

"But compared to the level of Messi and Ronaldo, it's still a little bit behind. Both of them completed hat tricks!"

The fans seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Lin Quan's performance, especially with the pair of peerless players scoring hat tricks one after another. Compared with his opponents, his passing and shooting seemed a bit inferior.

"The group stage is still long. One game means nothing. As long as Lin Huang continues to play at the current pace, goals will be inevitable!"

"You can't just watch the Champions League, you have to watch the league as well. Lin Huang scored a total of 8 goals in the four rounds of the Premier League. Correspondingly, Messi only had 6 goals and Ronaldo only 2 goals. His goals

The number of balls is equal to the total number of the two unparalleled heroes combined!"

"Hey, is Lin Huang so fierce? But Ronaldo's goals are a bit low? Only two goals in 4 league rounds?"

"Benzema has grown a lot this season and he scored 2 goals in the league.

The joining of Isco and Bale also took away part of the firing rights, with Isco scoring 3 goals and Bale scoring 1 goal."

"Yes, Real Madrid's frontcourt lineup is too luxurious. They are not as dependent on Cristiano Ronaldo as they used to be. This may be a good thing for Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid.

At least Ronaldo can focus more on the Champions League!"

"So it seems that Real Madrid has a good chance of winning the Champions League this season?"

"Isn't Ancelotti known as a championship expert? When he comes to Real Madrid, he might actually be able to lead Real Madrid to the Champions League!"

…

With the end of the first round of the group stage, various experts and betting companies have made some adjustments to the odds of winning the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid's winning odds have risen to first place, surpassing defending champion Bayern Munich.

Barcelona's ranking has not changed and is still third.

In the Premier League, due to an unexpected loss in the first round, Chelsea's ranking dropped to ninth place.

Manchester United's ranking has also dropped, ranking seventh.

On the contrary, Manchester City, with their five consecutive wins in the league and the Champions League group stage, has risen to fourth place and has the highest odds of winning among the Premier League teams.

But it’s just one round of competition, and it’s too early to talk about winning the championship.

After finishing the Champions League group stage, Manchester City returned to home with a big victory, ready to face the challenge of Manchester United.

This city derby is the most important game in this round of Premier League matches.

Considering the importance of this game and the fact that Manchester United and Manchester City have a large number of fans overseas, the Premier League has scheduled this game for three o'clock in the afternoon.

In this way, fans overseas, especially in Asia, can watch the game at prime time in the evening.

It has to be said that compared to other leagues, the Premier League is indeed more flexible in this regard.

They will give more consideration to taking care of overseas audiences, which is very good for the promotion of the event.

After all, according to the seven-hour time difference.

If this game is scheduled for around 7:30 in the evening, then everyone in Asia will be there at 2 or 3 in the morning.

Who is watching football at this hour? They have already gone to bed.

Of course, other leagues will also learn from their approach, and La Liga later learned this trick.

The game was held in the afternoon, and overseas spectators were indeed taken care of, but for the players of both teams, this was not good news.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun has not yet set. One of the two teams will have to face the sun during the game, which will have a great impact on the players.

On the contrary, the team with its back to the Sun can take advantage of it!

Before the game, Manchester United players shouted online, hoping that the Red Devils fans would go to the scene to support them and witness their capture of the Etihad Stadium.

Rooney said: "Manchester will always be the Red Devils' world, and Manchester City? It's just a noisy neighbor!"

Rooney criticized Manchester City for being just a nouveau riche without the background of a wealthy club. Manchester United is the orthodoxy of Manchester.

Van Persie posted: "Manchester City? They do have some good players, but as a whole, my teammates and I are obviously better!"

Van Persie also criticized Manchester City's money-dollar policy, believing that Manchester City has a lot of good players but no honors to match them.

Manchester United's players fired the first shot, so Manchester City's players naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

Aguero tweeted on social media: "I have a strong feeling that I will score today, and more than one!"

Yaya Toure said: "Red Devil? That is already a thing of the past, now it is the world of Blue Moon!"

Kompany said: "I will work with my teammates to freeze Manchester United's forwards. No matter it is Rooney or Robin van Persie, they will never want to score at the Etihad Stadium!"

His teammates had all finished their harsh words, and Lin Quan didn't join in the fun.

He uploaded an overlooking photo of the Etihad Stadium with the caption: "See you at the Etihad Stadium tomorrow afternoon!"

…

The two teams are very competitive, and the derby in the same city is already very popular.

So the Fleet Street media, like sharks smelling blood, began to hype up the feud between the two teams.

This is the 166th Manchester Derby. Due to the strength of Manchester United, before 2010, Manchester City had almost no chance of winning. Manchester United was in an overwhelming lead in the game between the two teams.

However, after 2010, with the entry of the Middle East consortium.

Manchester City began to rise, and the results of the next meeting between the two sides began to reverse.

Manchester City has won 4 of the last 7 meetings.

In the duel at Old Trafford two years ago, Manchester City even bloodbathed Manchester United with a score of 6:1.

It can be said that the offensive and defensive dynamics between the two teams have completely changed, and Manchester United is no longer as brave as it used to be.

It is definitely not easy for them to win against Manchester City, let alone playing at Manchester City's home court.

But for Moyes, he seems to be very good at playing Manchester City.

Before he coached Manchester United, he led Everton to win nine of 12 games and could be said to be Manchester City's nemesis.
