New Wembley Stadium, Manchester United dressing room.

Many Manchester United players sat tired, some closed their eyes and rested, while others lay down and let the team doctor do a massage.

The two assistant coaches of the team looked worried when they looked at the players. They knew that it was because the first half was too intense and everyone consumed too much physical energy.

Head coach Ferguson walked in.

He had a serious expression on his face, but after entering the room, he just stood there and didn't say much.

The way the team looks right now is worrying.

In Ferguson's view, in the first half of the game, the team's overall performance was still good. There were players who did not perform well, but there were more players who performed well. Overall, the team played a lot better than the warm-up game. .

But it was such a performance. They played half-time with Manchester City, but they were still one goal behind, and the team was still somewhat suppressed in the second half.

Those football commentators analyzed things, he can also see, where did Manchester United lose in the first half?

physical fitness.

There is no doubt that.

Because the game was too intense, some players were physically exhausted after 30 minutes. The team had to take a break in the attack to adjust the rhythm and state.

But Manchester United has adjusted, but the opponent has not. Manchester City's competition is still very fierce, and the attack is still very contemptuous. As a result, Manchester United scored a goal.

From the perspective of the situation, this goal seems logical, as if Manchester City should have scored.

This made Ferguson feel even more uncomfortable.

Thinking about the face of the young Chinese in the press conference before the game, he felt his teeth gnashing. He vowed that if Manchester United win the game, he must make the Chinese look good... However, Manchester City did show their strength in the game, Showing strength, that feeling of being suppressed, Ferguson felt for the first time in several seasons.

Manchester United have not won the championship in the previous four seasons. In three of them, he has played against the Wansheng team, whether it was Derby County or Manchester City in the previous two seasons, even if he can draw or win. Manchester United relies on tactics, performance, and some luck.

European media say that Manchester City is a strong team, but it is only a strong team. There is still a gap between its strength and top giants such as Manchester United and AC Milan. The gap is directly visible in the game scene.

But now this Manchester City team makes people feel that they are not worse than Manchester United at all, or even stronger. In the first half as a whole, Manchester United was at a disadvantage!

How is this possible?

That's just Manchester City!

They have won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, but their strength has never been recognized.

The media does not recognize it, the various strong teams do not recognize it, and of course Ferguson does not recognize it.

But now, Ferguson doesn't want to admit it, but he knows in his heart that this Manchester City team is really no worse than Manchester United.

What surprised him most was Manchester City's physical reserves. Logically speaking, if the opponent only gathered for more than ten days of training and preparations, and the preparation time was shorter than that of Manchester United, it is unlikely that they would have more physical reserves than Manchester United.

But the opposite is true.

Obviously, the overall physical reserve of the opposing team is better!

Is this the so-called "capacity of top sports experts" reported by the media?

Ferguson was puzzled.

In fact, Ferguson is disdainful about Wansheng's kinematics research. He doesn't understand those who are not scientific, but European football is not without science, and the "Milan Laboratory" is quite high-end.

In order to optimally manage the mental and physical condition of the athletes, the club entrusted this task to the Milan laboratory, which is said to be "representative of the perfect combination of technology, IT, cybernetics and psychology."

Ferguson doesn't know how professional the Milan laboratory is, but they definitely can't do what Manchester City is now - using more time to reserve more physical fitness for the players!

How did Manchester City do it?

Is it really like what the media said: That young Chinese is the top professional in kinesiology?

Top of the line?

Can the top so-called 'professionals' do it?

Ferguson was quite surprised and incredulous.

"Should Manchester United also hire professional sports experts for guidance?"

he thought.

When an assistant coach came over, Ferguson hurriedly shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

He knew it didn't make sense.

No matter what method Manchester City uses to prepare for the game, or why Manchester City is so strong now, it will be considered later. The most important thing at the moment is to deal with the game.

Now the team is behind, but there is basically no problem with the tactics, and there is no problem with the players' performance. There is only one thing left to do - the whole team will continue to work hard and strive to play better in the second half!

Ferguson snorted coldly, attracting all the attention.

After that, serious and serious, eloquent speeches began.

————

Manchester City dressing room.

Man Victory is doing the same thing as Ferguson, the only difference is that Manchester City are the leading side and they have a good atmosphere.

"We played well in the first half, we were one goal ahead and we continued to play like this..."

"We have to be more active in our fight and work hard to the last minute!"

"The Community Shield is not important, but winning Manchester United means more... I believe that Manchester United will still be our biggest league rivals this season, and defeating them in this game is the best start..."

"A lot of people pay attention to the game, this is a derby! We have to be serious, I can't make careless mistakes, and I have learned a lesson time and time again..."

"..."

Wan Sheng was talking to everyone, and the content of what he said was a little old, but everyone listened carefully.

Those old players in the team have a high respect for Wan Sheng, so they will listen carefully to every word Wan Sheng said.

New players such as Torres and Petrov, who have just entered Manchester City, feel that Wansheng's speech is very novel, it makes people feel a kind of blood boiling, and they will also listen very carefully.

The players who didn't play also wanted to know how the game was going to be played, and they wanted to play well if they had the chance to play.

Therefore, in the first official game of the new season, Wansheng's speech to motivate the players' fighting spirit was still very successful.

After seeing that there was not much time left, the entire Manchester City team went out with high fighting spirit, preparing for the second half of the game.

In all anticipation, the second half started quickly.

————

The second half of the game still started with a fierce confrontation between the two teams.

It seems to be a replica of the opening of the first half. After the opening of the second half, Manchester City and Manchester United fought fiercely, especially near the midline.

Both teams want to regain control of the midfield. The football is constantly passing around, and the constant transition of the ball has also allowed everyone to see the intensity of the game.

While the game was fierce, the physical fitness of the players on both sides also continued to decline, and soon the two teams began to make adjustments.

Unexpectedly, the first to make adjustments is Manchester City.

Wansheng asked Robert Carlos to warm up and prepare to play the game. Because the game was very intense, almost no one would care about the bench, so when Robert Carlos warmed up, not many people noticed.

It was not until the fourth official raised the substitution card that the media and fans realized that Manchester City was going to make a substitution, and it was one of the last transfer figures of the summer - Brazilian superstar Roberto Carlos.

Robert Carlos played at left-back, the position he was best known for.

Boateng was substituted.

Boateng has had nearly 60 minutes of playing time, his performance is fairly stable, he didn't make any mistakes in defense, but he was lacking in attack, so Wansheng replaced him, on the other hand, he also let the card Ross played to adapt to the Premier League environment.

When Robert Carlos stepped on the pitch, the attention of all the media and fans turned, even the media fans who supported Manchester United.

Even though Carlos is old, he is also a famous star in the world!

Once the six superstars of 'Galaxy Battleship', Carlos occupied a stable position. When the stars such as Beckham and Raul were repeatedly unable to start the game, only Carlos could stick to the position, and no newcomer could grab it. Go, even if he has a conflict with the president of Real Madrid, it will not affect his main position.

The above is enough to illustrate the strength of Carlos.

Now that he comes to Manchester City, what kind of performance will he have in the Premier League?

The media are looking forward to it.

At the same time, Wansheng didn't care about Carlos, but told Glen Johnson next to him, saying, "You and Robert are the same type of player, fast, with excellent foot skills and strong bodies, look here. Look at how Robert plays, he's your senior and you can learn a lot from him."

Hearing such a serious order, Glenn Johnson also felt that Wansheng attached great importance to him.

He nodded fiercely and said, "Boss, I will take a closer look."

While the two were talking, the game had restarted.

Carlos's appearance did not have much impact on the overall game. Although he is an international superstar, he is only a player, and his basic performance is only focused on him. For example, Glen Johnson will pay attention to it. It is difficult to affect the overall situation of the game. .

Manchester City and Manchester United are still fighting fiercely.

A little bit of time passed, and soon after another 10 minutes, Manchester United finally signaled a substitution.

Ferguson ruthlessly replaced two generals - Ryan Giggs and Scholes.

Of the two, the younger Scholes is almost 33 years old. Even if he tries to maintain a good state, his physical fitness cannot keep up with age.

After 60 minutes of intense competition, both of them could not run.

Seeing this substitution, media commentators also know that this is Ferguson's helpless choice.

"Although Manchester United has completed a big change, there are many young players in the team, but veterans such as Scholes are still the backbone of the team."

"In comparison, Manchester City has a lot of numbers. Now the veteran Carlos has just played, Morris is 31 years old and can still maintain his form. Others like Ivan Crewe and Dunn are all in their prime. , the other players are all under-25s and they have a huge age advantage over Manchester United..."

This also shows one of the important reasons why Manchester City is more physically fit than Manchester United - young!

Manchester United is also very young. Those who have just entered the team, including C-Ronaldo, O'Shea, and Carrick, are not very old, but except for C-Ronaldo, Rooney, Carrick and other players, other young people are very young. Hard to hit the main force.

Manchester City is different. Almost all young players in the team can be called "young Manchester City" when they play casually.

This is the gap.

Manchester City has completed the 'full exchange', while Manchester United is only halfway through.

At this time, the media began to care about Manchester United's substitutions, replacing Ryan Giggs and Scholes were South Korean star Park Ji-sung and England star Hargreaves.

Park Ji-sung has been very stable since joining Manchester United. He is an 'old man' in the eyes of fans, and not many people pay attention to coming off the bench.

Hargreaves is different, he just joined Manchester United in the summer.

Unlike other standard English players, Hargreaves has been growing up abroad.

His father is English and his mother is Welsh, and Hargreaves was not born here, but in Calgary, Canada.

The teenager Hargreaves was only interested in ice hockey and basketball in Canada, but gradually became interested in football.

After that, Hargreaves had a good performance in the Calgary Hills team in his birthplace, so he was introduced to the club for trial training by a local coach who had a deep relationship with Bayern, and was later taken in. Fuss is only 16 years old.

Hargreaves played for Bayern's U-19 youth team for two and a half years and spent half a year in the reserves before becoming part of Bayern Munich's first team.

In the same year, Hargreaves received the England Under-21 national team invitation, he chose to enter the England team.

This is a tough choice.

Due to his background, Hargreaves could represent Canada and Wales. At that time, he also qualified as a German citizen, that is to say, he could also choose to play for the German team, but in the end Hargreaves decided to join his father. Favorite England team, although he hadn't even been to England a few times before making the decision.

Because of this decision, although Hargreaves has been playing for Bayern Munich, many England fans have a good impression of him, and he has performed well in the England team, so when they heard the news of his joining Manchester United, many The fans are all supportive.

Hargreaves' move to Manchester United was not easy.

Manchester United actively wanted to buy Hargreaves last year, but Bayern had always refused it outright. That was because Bayern was unwilling to let Hargreaves go after losing Ballack, and the two clubs were even more hostile because of this.

But Manchester United are still unwilling to give up on the midfielder, and have repeatedly claimed that they will make another bid for Hargreaves in 2007.

On May 20, Bayern Munich chairman Beckenbauer publicly confirmed that Hargreaves would leave the team and switch to Manchester United for about 17 million pounds.

Hargreaves officially joined Manchester United on July 1 after signing a four-year contract, before making an appearance at Manchester United's Carrington base with Nani on July 9.

Now is the first time for Hargreaves to represent Manchester United in an official game, replacing Scholes, the core of Manchester United's midfield. Many fans are looking forward to Hargreaves' performance.
