Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Ninth Half-Time

In the 34th minute of the game, the Spanish ‘Golden Boy’ Fernando Torres, who represented Manchester City for the first time, scored the ball into Manchester United’s goal, helping the team lead Manchester United 1:0.

After 30 minutes of battle, Manchester City took the lead.

Many people were surprised!

Especially those Manchester United support media, they believe that Manchester City must be on a downward trend this season, and Manchester United's lineup is complete and regrouped, and it will definitely be better, but they did not expect that after 30 minutes, Manchester United did not play an advantage, but Manchester City was suppressed. and successfully scored a goal.

This result was unexpected.

Could it be that... Manchester City will crush Manchester United this season?

Many people thought.

Among them are many Manchester United fans. They hope that Manchester United can boost morale and return to the strength of the”Premier League hegemony”, but they have not seen this until now. On the contrary, Manchester City has performed quite well.

Some pessimistic fans feel a little hopeless.

Those media commentators were excited to report the goal--

"Torres! Torres! He made his first appearance for Manchester City and helped the team score a goal!"

"It's worth noting that this is his first shot of the game! The first shot to score is unbelievable! But it's true! In previous games, Torres was like ' It's like stealth, and he can't be seen at all, but as long as the Spanish 'Golden Boy' appears at the critical moment, it is enough to find the opportunity to score the ball, which is the most important mission of the striker!"

"Torres! Torres! He's off to a great start at Manchester City!"

The reports of the various commentators are aimed at Torres!

In the summer transfer, Torres is one of the most important transfers in Europe. Only Robben and Anelka can be compared with him.

Within the scope of the Premier League, Robben transferred from Chelsea to Real Madrid, leaving the Premier League to go to the Spanish League, while Anelka transferred from Manchester City to Chelsea, which is an internal transfer of the Premier League, and only Torres came to Manchester City from Atletico Madrid and belongs to the players who joined the Premier League, so Torres' transfer has attracted much attention. At the same time, many media and fans have also paid attention to Torres' performance.

Now, in the first game of the Community Shield on behalf of Manchester City, Torres started the game and scored a goal with the first shot. This performance is really worthy of attention.

So after City took the lead, pretty much all the commentators were talking about Torres--

"Spain's golden boy Torres proved his strength with a shot!"

"39 million euros, not expensive!"

"Wan Sheng once again proved his vision! Torres, enough to replace Anelka's genius!"

"In the new season, Manchester City has Torres, and the striker is already worry-free!"

"Torres hits Manchester United with his first kick! He's off to a great start at City!"

"..."

Fernando Torres is also feeling excited amid the constant reporting.

In fact, when he chose to join Manchester City, he was also very uneasy. The most important thing was not the team, but the environment of the Premier League. Many Spanish players have difficulty adapting to the environment of the Premier League because the Premier League is too confrontational.

Coming to the Premier League is Torres' choice. Even if he doesn't join Manchester City, he will join Liverpool. In short, he will definitely play in the Premier League team.

This choice is actually a little helpless, because there are only two clubs interested in him - Manchester City and Liverpool, and he chose Manchester City.

Although many people heard that the Manchester City coach is very good at cultivating young players, but he has never experienced it and always feels uneasy in his heart. He can only try his best to do his best.

In the preparation training, Wansheng had only one requirement for him--training his body.

Training physical confrontation ability, which is very surprising for Torres, Atletico Madrid Club does not have similar training, and even said that most teams in Europe do not have similar training.

At least Torres has not heard of it, but Manchester City has this kind of training, which is like fitness training. He did not agree with it at first, but after a period of time, he felt the effect of the training.

So in training, he also worked a lot.

For more than ten days, it was difficult to improve too much in physical confrontation, but Torres was no longer afraid of confrontation, at least not in his heart. When he was on the field, the only thing he felt was that he was very closely guarded in front of him, and it was difficult to receive teammates. pass.

At the same time, he is also very clear that as a striker, he only needs to seize one opportunity.

Finally, he waited for the opportunity and scored a goal.

In the eyes of many people, this is an opportunity for a sudden performance, but Torres believes that this is the result of his own efforts!

A sudden performance, and hard work to win, give people a completely different feeling, the latter is obviously more exciting than the former.

So Torres was quite excited after scoring the goal. He ran to Morris, who was assisting, and hugged him.

After the other players came to congratulate Torres on his first goal, the Manchester City players were full of laughter.

Wan Sheng looked at this scene and was very touched.

In a few years, he has experienced more and is not so excited, but it still feels quite good to be ahead of Manchester United.

At this time, he unconsciously looked at the Manchester United coaching bench.

Ferguson is sitting there, his face is very gloomy, as if he is dissatisfied with the performance of the players on the field.

So Wan Sheng grinned even more.

When the opponent is in a bad mood, it is equal to his own success. This feeling is really good.

————

Manchester City fans in the stands shouted and celebrated for the team's goal.

For them, the most joyful thing is that the team can lead Manchester United!

Community Shield, nothing, beating Manchester United is more important!

So when they were celebrating, they didn't forget to look at the Manchester United fans and made various provocative actions. The Manchester United fans were already very depressed. When they saw the opponent's provocation, they were immediately annoyed, and soon there was chaos in the stands. , If it weren't for the security and the police to maintain order, perhaps the two sides would have had a modern and large-scale 'group fight' with thousands of people VS thousands of people.

on the media stand.

Many media reporters were surprised that Manchester City scored the first goal. What surprised them even more was the performance of Manchester City. They did not show any signs of declining fighting spirit. On the contrary, this Manchester City team looked stronger than last season.

Looking back on last season, the match between Manchester City and Manchester United was still very dangerous. Winning depends on hard work and luck.

Now this goal can be said to be 'open and aboveboard'.

The two teams fought for more than 30 minutes, and the midfield was very fierce. As a result, Manchester United obviously couldn't keep up with their physical fitness. They were weaker and were suppressed by Manchester City.

"This is completely physical suppression! It is directly related to the preparations!" said a professional football analyst.

That's what the game is like.

In the opening game, Manchester United and Manchester City were evenly matched. Neither team was able to take advantage. However, from the beginning, Manchester United played a bit weak, which is directly related to physical fitness. It can be seen that Manchester City is relatively much better. Still insisted that the offensive remained unchanged, which suppressed Manchester United.

However, Manchester United's preparation time is not short!

In mid-July, Manchester United began to prepare for the game, about a week earlier than Manchester City. In theory, with one more week of preparation time and two more warm-up games, Manchester United should be in better shape than Manchester City.

It is obvious that Manchester City's preparations are better, which can be seen from the new players' adaptation to tactics and physical reserves.

So how did Manchester City do it?

How can they use less time to prepare more abundantly than Manchester United?

The media reporters felt incredible.

They suddenly thought of Diamares. Before the game, Diamares said that he was the reincarnation of Apollo, which is definitely impossible. But maybe he, or that young Chinese, will really cast some magic to make Manchester City complete better preparations in less time?

"Don't think too much, this kind of ghost is unbelievable!" Some people shook their heads.

What they don't know is that this is actually what they really want to be close to the truth.

Soon they attributed the reason to Wansheng. The most reasonable explanation is that Wansheng is an expert in sports. No one can deny this. Since he is a top sports expert, he can naturally think of making the team the most scientific and professional. The most efficient way to train.

So Manchester City is better prepared than Manchester United.

This view is supported by most people, and at the same time, many people are surprised by Wansheng's ability.

At the beginning, when Wansheng published the research paper, there were still many people who dismissed it, thinking that a football coach to study sports is completely 'not doing a proper job', but if that kind of research can help directly help the team to conduct more reasonable and effective training, then it is not 'not doing a proper job', but it is very, very necessary!

"Wan Sheng beat Manchester United with his professional ability in sports!" Many media reporters thought of the title of the post-match report.

Of course, the premise is that Manchester City wins.

There are still many Manchester United support media who are not reconciled. They don't think about how to report after the game, they just hope that Manchester United can cheer up.

The game isn't over yet!

"There is still plenty of time, just one goal behind, Manchester United must catch up!"

They gritted their teeth.

————

Manchester City's celebration soon ended.

Manchester City players ran back to their own half, only Torres was still excited and did not run back. He stood in front of the camera and shouted to the camera, "England, remember me, I'm here!"

At this time, Manchester Sports Channel commentator Peter Lott was introducing him to the fans, "Fernando Torres, Manchester City's biggest transfer in the summer, 39 million euros, he created the Manchester City football history transfer record. He is called the 'Golden Boy' by Spanish fans, and has the same title as Michael Owen. He has just turned 23 this year, and he has already performed well in La Liga and European Cups, replacing Raul Gonzalez. He became the first striker of the Spanish national team."

"The biggest characteristic of Torres is his excellent technique and his calmness in front of goal, which helps him to score more goals!"

While introducing, Peter Lott thought about Torres' performance. From the opening to the goal, how did Torres get the ball, and it was also the first time he got the chance to shoot.

As a result, for the first time, he scored the ball into the Manchester United goal.

This kind of performance is really excellent. It is no wonder that Wansheng, who has a transfer fee and does not spend much money to buy people, is willing to let Manchester City club out nearly 40 million euros for him.

After Torres decided to join Manchester City, many media are questioning Torres' performance in the Premier League, after all, he is a Spanish player.

In the past, many Spanish players have not adapted to the Premier League, among which is the former Arsenal player Reyes and Liverpool's Luis Garcia.

Torres is much more famous, but can he really do it?

no one knows.

But with this goal, doubts will definitely be much smaller!

————

What the media, commentators and football commentators can see, Manchester United manager Ferguson naturally sees.

At this point in the game, Manchester United did show a physical disadvantage.

Is it the reason for preparation?

Ferguson is not sure, but the facts are in front of us. The team's physical fitness is indeed a little bit behind. However, under the same intensity of the game, Manchester City can still persevere, so there is a goal just now.

Ferguson was surprised, he didn't expect to lose here in the first half, so what about the second half? What will the whole game be like?

He's still not sure.

At present, the only thing that the old Jazz can be sure of is that if they want to win the game, Manchester United can only grit their teeth and continue to fight.

Team tactics are fine!

The fighting spirit is high!

The players on the field are also doing well!

Then there is no need to adjust anything. The game depends entirely on persistence and luck.

In football games, luck is very important. Just like the game on the field, when the two teams are evenly matched, it is uncertain which team can score a goal.

It depends on luck.

Thinking of this, Ferguson couldn't help but look at the Manchester City coaching bench again. The Chinese, sitting there firmly, was very relaxed, as if he had settled on Manchester United.

Seeing this expression, Ferguson felt a surge of anger in his heart.

"You can't make that Chinese proud, you must win the game!"

he thought to himself.

————

The game on the field has resumed.

Manchester City made it clear that they wanted to suppress Manchester United. They continuously launched a tough offensive and showed a momentum of hard work.

Manchester United were unwilling to be one goal behind. They also fought fiercely. They wanted to regain the situation and fought with Manchester City in the front, center and backcourt.

The two teams fought fiercely and the game became extremely exciting.

At this time, all the players have entered the state of the game, especially the two teams are playing very fiercely, each player is in good condition, and exciting scenes are frequently staged, dazzling the fans.

Seeing such a wonderful performance, fans who came to watch the game felt that it was worth the price!

The commentators of the live broadcast also spoke about the game with excited voices--

"Darren Bent, shoot!"

"Ferdinand made a successful clearance! Manchester United's counterattack..."

"Morris and Scholes fought in the middle, Scholes got the ball and he passed it to Carrick."

"C-Ro! C-Ro! He ran with the ball! Ivan Kru was left behind..."

"C-Lo was tackled, it was Ziegler, very decisive!"

"Manchester City attacked, Silva...Maurice...Ozil...great opportunity! Ah! Too bad the pass went wrong"

"It was Manchester United's turn, and Scholes got a steal in the middle."

"Reverse robbery! Reverse robbery!"

"Manchester City launches fast break! Great opportunity!"

"..."

In the constant reports of the commentator, the game time passed quickly, and the first half ended in a blink of an eye.

In the follow-up time, Manchester City and Manchester United staged extremely wonderful performances, but until the referee blew the end whistle, no more goals were scored in the game.

1:0.

The first half ended with Manchester City taking the lead.

When the whistle was heard, the players of both teams were in no mood to think about the score, and many of them sat directly on the grass panting.

The game is so intense!

This kind of intense competition also consumes the players' physical strength. After only one half-time, some players feel a little unsupported. They are eager to rest for a while, otherwise they don't know if they can continue to hold on.

Fortunately, the first half is over and they can finally rest. (To be continued ~^~.)
