Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 643

August 4, afternoon, Manchester City training base.

After finishing another training match, Manchester City players either sat down directly on the grass or returned to the seats beside the court to drink water and rest.

Modric pulled his jersey to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

He sighed to Su Fei who was sitting next to him.

"We will play Manchester United again tomorrow."

"How many times is this?"

"The fifth time! Su! You can even forget this! I remember every time clearly. The first score was 4:3. You and Ronaldo of Manchester United both scored hat tricks, and the last one was..."

Su Fei listened quietly to Modric counting the five encounters with Manchester United in the past two seasons.

After listening, he smiled and said.

"Luka, you have a really good memory. I only remember that we never lost, but you can remember how many goals we scored, who scored them, and the order of the goals."

"Of course. I remember almost every game since I came to Manchester City!"

Su Fei was in a good mood and couldn't help but want to test Modric, deliberately making things difficult for him.

"I don't believe it. Unless you can tell us who was the first team we played against in March last year!"

"March 2006...Round 29! Home game against Newcastle! We won 2-0! I even scored a goal in that game! You assisted!"

"Wow!"

Hearing Modric's confident answer, Su Fei was dumbfounded. Damn, this is the brain of the Golden Ball midfielder!

This memory!

Although in any industry, I believe Modric can make a difference!

"Hehe, now you believe it. So, tomorrow we will play Manchester United for the sixth time. Do you think we can continue to win?"

"Of course."

"But it should be another tough battle. The signings they made in the summer are all very good, at least from the video analysis given to us by the head coach."

"Yeah."

Su Fei nodded in agreement. This summer, Manchester United caught up with the original script and completed the signing of four future Champions League main players.

The biggest move was to spend 26 million euros to dig up the all-around player Owen Hargreaves from Bayern Munich. This guy came from Bayern's youth training. He was promoted to Bayern's first team in 2001 and helped Bayern win 4 Bundesliga titles, 3 German Cups and 1 Champions League.

Owen Hargreaves will become the big gate of Manchester United's midfield defense in the new season, completely solving the Red Devils' long-standing midfield defense problem.

Then there are the two talented stars, 21-year-old Portuguese Nani and 19-year-old Brazilian Anderson.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a role model.

The red-nosed old man seems to have a natural liking for young players in the Portuguese league.

Nani comes from the youth training camp of Sporting Lisbon, a Portuguese Super League giant, while Anderson comes from another Portuguese Super League giant Porto.

The addition of these two young players.

The problem of Manchester United's aging lineup has been further solved.

Finally.

It is the joining of Argentine international striker Carlos Tevez.

After Carlos Tevez came to the Premier League last season, he not only successfully helped West Ham United to avoid relegation, but also won the West Ham United Club's Player of the Season with a god-level performance of 7 goals and 5 assists in the last 10 rounds of games.

Hargreaves, Nani, Anderson, Tevez...

Su Fei knows very well.

The arrival of these four players will bring about earth-shaking changes to Manchester United this season.

Because in the original history.

It was in this season that Manchester United not only won the league championship, but also successfully reached the top of Europe and achieved the double crown.

2007-08 season.

Definitely one of the strongest Manchester United in the Ferguson era.

And tomorrow.

Community Shield.

Manchester City will become the first club in Europe to play against the full version of Manchester United in 2007-08.

..............................................................

August 5, 2007!

England, London, Wembley Stadium, Manchester Derby is coming again and again!

Tens of thousands of Red Devils fans and Blue Moon fans.

In the square outside the stadium, the team song competition started again, and no one was convinced!

For Blue Moon fans.

Excited and nervous.

Although they have won 5 victories over Manchester United, including one Champions League, the higher they climb, the more likely they are to fall.

Against the Red Devils.

Blue Moon fans still have a little "red phobia" in their bones.

For the Red Devils fans.

Of course, I hope thatAvenge the previous shame, although every time I failed, I will get up from where I fell.

New season.

It is always easy to make people full of expectations and anticipation.

......

Guardiola was the first to attend the pre-match press conference.

There was no harsh talk.

Because the media are more concerned about whether the Spanish young coach will continue to make a big move today.

"One hour before the official start of the game, I will submit today's starting and substitute list to the event group. You can see it for yourself then."

Guardiola did not satisfy the curiosity of the media and sold a can.

The media had to find another way.

"The 17-year-old young player Balotelli played well in the last game. Will he start today?"

"Mario's performance was indeed very good last time. But I just said that the starting list will be determined later."

Guardiola continued to keep the secret, and the media gritted their teeth in anger.

Many people.

Missed Stewart.

In the first season when the old man led Manchester City, he dared to challenge Ferguson, Wenger, Benitez and other famous coaches at the pre-match press conference and made harsh remarks.

But this Spaniard.

Too smooth.

Like an egg without cracks, it is difficult to start and create hot spots.

Guardiola is very conservative.

Ferguson, who came to the scene for an interview later, also disappointed the media reporters.

"You are right, our recent record with Manchester City is indeed 5 games and 5 losses..."

"It turns out that it is not easy to win Manchester City, but my players and I will go all out."

"You said Manchester City lost to Bayern 2-4 some time ago? No, no, no, that was just a friendly match, and most of Manchester City's main players did not play, so there is no reference value."

The red-nosed old man's amiable attitude today surprised the media reporters present.

What's going on?

Is the tradition of complimenting each other before the game popular in the Premier League?

At this moment.

I don't know how many media reporters miss the "tyrant" who blushed and played the role of a hair dryer to blow out opponents during an interview.

Ferguson's tyrannical personality will certainly not disappear.

Smiling all the way.

After returning to the team's locker room.

Ferguson gently closed the door of the locker room and immediately changed his face when facing the Red Devils under his command.

"Fxxxk!!"

"Fxxxk!!"

"Do you know what those reporters said? They almost pointed at my nose and said that you have lost to Manchester City 5 times in a row! 5 times! 5 losses in 5 games!"

"Damn it!!"

"What can I say? I can't do anything except smile at his questions! Because 5 times! We didn't even get a draw once!"

"Will I hear from those reporters next time that we lost 6 games? Then 7 games and 7 losses? 8 games and 8 losses?"

"Fxxxk!!"

Ferguson went crazy. He kicked down the tactical board next to him and kept yelling and complaining.

If the reporter who just interviewed Ferguson was here at this time.

He would understand that it was not that the red-nosed old man had a better temper, but that the red-nosed old man was furious and couldn't find a way to refute.

"Win once! Win once! Let's win once!"

Finally.

Ferguson's complaints became repeated over and over again.
