Chapter 75

The much-anticipated Manchester derby ended in a 4-1 victory for Manchester City.

When interviewed by reporters after the game, Pellegrini talked to reporters with a smile on his face, talked about his team's offensive coordination, tactical arrangements, and praised the players who scored goals. Finally, he proudly told reporters : "I said before the game that I want to dedicate a wonderful Manchester derby to everyone, and I did it."

The reporter passed Pellegrini's words to Kinteg, and Kintag's teeth were itchy. He said mockingly: "The wonderful thing that Mr. Engineer said should also include Nasri's diving, right? Nasri His performance was indeed wonderful, and he deceived the referee's eyes. Before Jones was sent off, the two teams were evenly divided. The next time we were playing against the wind, but we scored at 10 on 11 and came close to equalizing the score. I am very proud of my team's performance."

In the locker room after the game, Kintag did not criticize anyone. He was satisfied with the performance of his players and tried his best to comfort them.He knew in his heart that this fiasco was not the fault of anyone, nor was it a tactical problem, let alone Jones who was sent off.Nasri used cunning tricks to deceive the referee, and from the moment the referee sent off Jones and awarded a penalty kick, Manchester United was destined to end in tragedy, especially Ferdinand's injury at the last moment, which made Manchester United To add insult to injury.

Although the head coach did not blame any players, it is really unacceptable to be won by such a big score by the opponent in the same city. The players all looked listless.

The next morning, almost all of England's mainstream sports media reported on the game's comments.

"Sophisticated engineers beat young tigers!" was the headline in The Daily Telegraph.

"A derby, a Waterloo!" "The Times" is also very sharp words.

The "Sun" reporter Wolfe even made nonsense in his column.

"In the face of Manchester City's strong attacking power, Kintiger's team looked full of holes. The young midfielder Jones made a fatal mistake. This game could have been a good opportunity for him to play. Kante is injured. If he can play in the If he plays well in this game, he will be able to win more chances to play. But unfortunately, Jones did not seize the opportunity. He not only extinguished the team's hope of winning, but also ruined his own. future."

"Not only that, but the performance of several veterans is also worrying. Ferdinand sprained his foot in the final stage of the game, which is really regrettable. Ferdinand is no longer the best central defender in England. Look at his slow speed in this game With his fragile body, I don’t think he has the strength to play for a giant, and his best choice now is to go to a Premier League relegation team for a few years, and then wait to retire.”

In the TV program, Raman, the commentator of Sky TV, looked smug: "I predicted before the game that Kanter, the defensive core, will not be on the field, and Manchester United is facing the extremely powerful Manchester City in the away game. Manchester United will definitely lose this game. The final result proves that my prediction is very accurate."

The overwhelming criticism from the media filled England, and all Manchester United fans were also very frustrated.After this game, although the Premier League ranking has not changed, the point gap between No.2 Manchester United and the top Manchester City has widened to 5 points, and Tottenham and Arsenal behind Manchester United have both won. , There is only one point gap between Manchester United; and Liverpool, Everton and Chelsea, who are ranked behind, have also won their own victories, and they are chasing after them.It seems that this season the Premier League is still very competitive.

Although the sky full of criticism hangs over Carrington, Kintag doesn't know it, because Kintag asked Scholes for leave this morning, he asked Scholes to lead the team for training, and he himself Go to Ferdinand's house and visit his favorite general.

After the game last night, Ferdinand returned to the Carrington training base and was examined professionally by the team doctor.After examination, the team doctor confirmed that Ferdinand's left toe sprained and he needs to rest for at least two months. This is really bad news for Manchester United, which is currently in crisis.

Ferdinand was lying on the bed. He looked at Jin Taige who came to visit him, and actually laughed: "Boss, I find that you are more sad than me now. Who is injured between us?"

Jin Taige said angrily: "If possible, I would rather be the one who injured my toe. First Vidic, then Carrick, and now you are injured again. The Triple Crown is getting farther and farther away from me..."

Ferdinand stared at his injured foot: "I don't know what happened, it was just an ordinary take-off, and I didn't expect to be injured when I landed. It's a pity. I guess I'm old and can't stand it anymore." .”

When he said this, Ferdinand was a little sad. He looked at Jin Taige: "Boss, after this season is over, if I still suffer from injuries like these two seasons, then I will simply retire. Anyway, the contract expires at the end of the season, and it happens to be Manchester United forever, and I am content."

Jin Taige hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't think so, I have already thought about it, after this season is over, I will definitely prepare a new contract for you, you are not old, I am missing you in the Triple Crown jigsaw puzzle No!"

Ferdinand was very moved when he heard what Kim Tagore said. He thought that after Sir Alex Ferguson left, no matter who was the new coach, he would abandon a veteran like him. He didn't expect Kim Tag to value him so much. He was so moved that he didn't know what to say. what's good.

Jin Taige went on to say: "Smolin, Van Dyke and those boys are still waiting for you to train them, especially Jones. After you recover from your injury, you must train him for me."

The two of them were chatting when suddenly someone behind him shouted timidly: "Boss..."

Jin Taige looked back: "Phil, why are you here?"

Standing behind Kim Tag was the Phil Jones they had just mentioned. Jones was holding a bouquet of flowers and placed them on Ferdinand's bedside.

Ferdinand smiled and said, "Thank you, Phil, for coming to see me."

Jin Taige asked: "When did you stand behind me?"

"I've been in the house since you said 'the Triple Crown is getting farther and farther away from me'." Phil replied honestly.
