Chapter 790: Indeed

November 1st, Elyhard Stadium.

The warm-up has ended, but the players from both sides did not return to the locker room, but stood outside the player tunnel.

The Manchester City players did not leave because it was an activity of the Manchester City club, and the Manchester United players did not leave because of Sun Wu.

Manchester City CEO Soriano and Guardiola walked out of the player tunnel, and a middle-aged man who was very familiar to the fans came out with them.

Sun Wu smiled and clapped his hands a few times, and then stepped forward to get closer... But before he could take a step, Patrick behind him grabbed his arm.

Sun Wu is so wronged, please, you treat me as a fool, and run up to make trouble at this time! ?

Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu, who have not yet started the commentary work, stood up from the commentary booth, and there were more than 40,000 Manchester City fans standing up with them.

Applause gradually sounded from the stands, and with the applause, the gentle middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and glasses walked onto the familiar turf and waved to the familiar fans with open arms.

A scene very familiar to Blue Moon fans suddenly flashed on the big screen at the scene. Everyone had given up, the goalkeeper was still in the frontcourt, four players in white jerseys were passing slowly, and only one player in blue was still running ...

Faced with an empty goal push, the player wearing jersey No. 17 rose into the air to complete a wonderful clearance...

The applause at the scene became louder and louder. After Manchester City was promoted to the Premier League in 2002, before Manchester City received capital injections from Thailand and the United Arab Emirates, this scene was once talked about by Manchester City fans.

Three days ago, Manchester City's official website announced that Sun Juhai was the ambassador of Manchester City in China. Today, Soriano announced at the Elyhard Stadium that Sun Juhai was officially selected into the England Football Hall of Fame.

Looking at Sun Juhai who was speaking, Sun Wu also had mixed feelings in his heart. Back then he was still at Blackburn, and his first start was against Manchester City. As a result, the right side he guarded was sieved, and three of the four goals he conceded Qiudu has an indirect relationship with Sun Juhai.

It was also after that that Sun Wucai officially abandoned the right back and turned into an attacking player.

To be honest, the reason why Sun Juhai was selected into the Hall of Fame has a deep relationship with his Chinese identity. This can also be regarded as a publicity strategy for Manchester City and even the Premier League in China, because the other two players inducted into the Hall of Fame this year are Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville.

until the end of the event,

Sun Wucai found an opportunity to chat with Sun Juhai in the player tunnel.

"I originally thought that I would be the first." Sun Wu's opening remarks were not too polite.

Sun Juhai smiled, and patted Sun Wu's shoulder hard.

"I plan to retire next year, and I may become a commentator."

Sun Juhai's words made Sun Wu very surprised. He remembered that he didn't have this experience in his previous life.

"The focus may be Manchester City and Manchester United. These two teams in the Premier League are the most interesting."

Sun Wu pursed his lips, this should be the change brought about by himself, the butterfly who traveled through.

After chatting for a while, Sun Wu went back to the locker room and prepared to play.

...

"This game is very interesting, very interesting." Mortensen in the commentary was a little excited, "Manchester United double-killed Blue Moon last season, and Manchester City is ready to take revenge."

"The biggest disadvantage of Manchester United now is that coach Pochettino was sent off in the last round of the game and was suspended."

"Of course, according to some people, this may also be Manchester United's advantage... Hahaha!"

On the other side of the commentary booth, Zhan Jun is reporting the list of players from both sides.

"Manchester United has used everything that can be used, the defense Phil Jones, Alderweireld, Coleman, Rojo, midfielder Sun Wu partner Schneiderlin, and Milner. Blue Moon rebels, the front trident is Miroslav Klose, Thomas Müller and Griezmann."

"In general, Manchester United is seeking stability. The attacking combination is exactly the same as last season." Zhang Lu commented: "Although Januzaj was injured after the last round of the game, Mane was not injured."

"Yes, Milner is a typical engineer player. He is not very talented, but he is willing to do dirty work and take responsibility. He will be the biggest trouble for Manchester City's midfielder today." Zhan Jun agreed: "The media before the game Judgment would have Mane in the starting lineup, with Klose on the bench, but Pochettino chose the legendary German centre-forward and let's see how it goes."

"Manchester City, Bravo in goal, Walker, Stones, Otamendi, Adriano, Fernandinho and Xabi Alonso at the back, David Scheer Up front, Douglas Costa, Aguero and Sterling up front."

"It is worth noting that Jingdong An, who performed very well in the previous games, failed to start, and captain Kompany also did not start. They were replaced by Harvey Alonso and Stones."

"This change also shows Guardiola's tactical thinking. He wants to control the ball at his feet as much as possible. Stones' feet are stronger than Kompany's. He has advantages in turning speed and coverage."

"Compared to Jingdong, although Harvey Alonso is a bit older, he has a higher passing success rate and his physical confrontation ability is not weak."

Zhang Lu shook his head and said, "But Manchester City's back row is a bit weaker. It's a pity that Thiago is injured again. In fact, he is the most suitable position."

At this time, the camera was aimed at Pochettino in the stands, who was chewing gum and chatting with Ferguson beside him.

"Pochettino doesn't seem nervous at all." Zhan Jun said with a smile: "Although Sun Wu is Manchester United's No. 1, the tactical command ability shown by Pochettino last season has also been recognized by the industry."

Zhang Lu couldn't hold back and said: "Actually, this game is a duel between Sun Wu and Guardiola!"

Well, that's true, because Guardiola and Sun Wu walked out side by side before the two players walked out of the tunnel.

"I hope this is a wonderful game." Guardiola shook Sun Wu's hand vigorously, "I hope this is a football game..."

Sun Wu struggled twice but did not shake off, and replied angrily: "Josep, I didn't say anything this time!"

Indeed, Sun Wu was surprisingly quiet before the game, so quiet that the media felt that something was wrong... Sun Wu knew very well that for this Manchester City team and Guardiola, it is difficult for outside moves to work.

Guardiola is best at tactics. He will talk endlessly in the tactical adjustment commentary, but he rarely uses speeches and passionate words to mobilize the players' state.

In other words, Sun Wu's talk can work against Mourinho, but against Guardiola...

Guardiola let go, nodded and said, "It doesn't matter, just like Cavani, I also arranged a bodyguard for you."

The corner of Sun Wu's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to look at the players on both sides who were walking out of the passage. His eyes turned around and finally fell on Aguero... because Akun showed him a weird smile.

Indeed, in this game, Aguero is Sun Wu's bodyguard. Once any accident occurs, his task is to prevent Sun Wu from getting involved, so as to ensure that the team will not suffer losses due to the opponent's performance.

"Beep..."

Zhan Jun in the commentary was full of energy, "With Mike Dean's whistle, this Manchester Derby kicked off. This is the 168th matchup in the history of the two sides!"
