I am the king of football

Chapter 369: Life and Death Enemies
Compared to Manchester United's grand momentum and preparation for the upcoming Manchester derby, Manchester City finally responded. Pellegrini is an honest man. He never likes to attack anyone at press conferences. His speeches before the games in the first half of the season did not have so many topics, but this time it was different.

"Don't listen to their nonsense. We are in great shape. They have already irritated us before the game even started. I am looking forward to their expressions after we lose at home."

Pellegrini swore that this was the fiercest counterattack he had ever made before a game in all his years as a coach. It was also the first time he had issued a challenge so directly, but that was all.

As for the players of Manchester City, although this mercenary team assembled in just a few years has gradually developed a team spirit due to the experience of winning the championship last season, it is still a little behind Manchester United, which has a strong foundation and many veterans. In the end, Kompany, who has played for the Blue Moon for a relatively long time, stood up.

"Arrogant! Arrogant! Don't forget that we just snatched the championship from you last season. Manchester was blue last summer and it will be blue again after this game!!!"

Directly responding to the comments of some Manchester United fans online, as the captain of the Blue Moon, Kompany cares more about the honor of the team than Pellegrini. He quickly took over the topic after Pellegrini spoke.

"Manchester City is no longer the Manchester City it once was. In the past few years, we have proved a lot with our own efforts. Many fans love us. Manchester United is just a traditional team that is on the decline. Starting from snatching the first championship, we will definitely ride on their heads in the future! The boss of Manchester? My teammates and I will teach Qin a lesson in this game!!!"

Staring at the camera, Kompany's anger was directly conveyed, and some remarks that Manchester City had no one were directly slapped in the face. After all these years of development, the Blue Moon finally has its own pillar.

Kompany's response was undoubtedly very direct. He even mentioned Qin Hu's name directly in his speech, which can be said to be a precise blow. This marked the end of Blue Moon's bland response, and the two sides were completely in a tense state.

Before Qin Hu himself spoke out about Kompany's remarks, his teammates started to leave the field one after another.

"I have never seen such a daring person. Kompany will pay the price for his arrogance. Qin's strength cannot be defended by words!"

First, Manchester United captain Vidic took the initiative to accept an interview after the training, and Ferdinand came out shortly after and walked over to add.

"Brother, I'm already beginning to feel sorry for you~"

He looked at the camera with sympathy. Although Kompany was a few years younger than the two of them and was in his prime, the former Manchester United main double defender who had a direct understanding of Qin Hu's strength was still very clear about who was the stronger one.

Compared with his teammates' counterattacks, Qin Hu's reaction when he was stopped after training one day was quite calm.

"Provocation? No, he's just doing his job. Who doesn't want to be the boss, right? Hahaha, at least the slogans should be shouted loudly. I know Vincent, he is an excellent defender, but no one can provoke Manchester United at Old Trafford. I am looking forward to the confrontation with him on the court."

From this moment on, players from both sides started to argue with each other, reports from various media reporters emerged one after another, and some Internet communities also had extremely heated discussions about this Manchester derby. The whole world began to pay attention to this battle.

During this fierce pre-match confrontation, Manchester United's training was not idle. The team, which has been training at the highest intensity since the beginning of preparations for the FA Cup, is in excellent condition. When Ferguson began to prepare for selection, he had different options for each position.

In the end, after considering Manchester City's playing style and lineup this season, Ferguson deployed a 4231 formation, despising the opponent strategically and paying attention to the opponent tactically. This is exactly the situation.

"Qin is the only striker, and behind him are Rooney, Carrick and Van Persie."

The names were read out one by one. The season had already reached its final stage, and Manchester United's regular starters were the team's best choice as long as they were in good shape, so most of them were familiar names. "Double defensive midfielders, Scholes and Cleverley."

The exception may be Scholes, who has been in better shape than Giggs and has started in major battles more than once. Although Ferguson has to prepare a substitution for him in the late stage of the game, Scholes' performance is really stable when he is in good physical condition.

"The back four is Rafael, Evans, Phil Jones, Evra and goalkeeper De Gea."

Vidic and Ferdinand officially retreated to the second line. With everyone in good shape, younger defenders became Ferguson's main choice, especially in this kind of game where the opponents were very aggressive, he needed the defenders to have plenty of physical strength to chase and collide.

As for the goalkeeper position, needless to say, De Gea has completely reached his peak state after eliminating Real Madrid. His performance on the court has always been called a father's existence, and this can continue for at least ten years.

"Other players on the roster include Hernandez, Shinji Kagawa, Maguire..."

After all the players on the roster were announced, Ferguson looked up at his disciples.

"Just like before the match against Manchester City last season, what I want to say is that this is a game that must be won no matter what. Try your best and put everything aside. Tomorrow on the court, at Old Trafford, all you have to do is to kill them hard on behalf of Manchester United!!!"

He hit the tactical board with a bang. It was hard to imagine that a 70-year-old man could still burst out with such strength. The Manchester United players present were all shocked and responded loudly.

"Understood BOSS!!!"

"Very good, then let me talk about the points that people in different positions need to target and guard against."

Seeing that everyone was sitting up straight, Ferguson once again talked about the key points that the team had been focusing on during training during this period.

From Aguero, Dzeko to Balotelli, Silva, Yaya Toure and Kompany, the more threatening players in Manchester City have been collected and analyzed by Ferguson's coaching team in a large pile of documents. In order to ensure that this game is foolproof, the Red Devils team has made more preparations than expected.

At this moment, on the other side of the city, the same scene was happening at Manchester City's training base. Pellegrini didn't even need to say anything more. The Manchester City players, who had already been furious because of their opponents' provocative remarks, were already filled with murderous intent.

"Tomorrow, we will fight back fiercely at their doorstep. Everyone must be fully prepared. This is a battle of honor and a crucial battle for this season's championship. Don't you want to snatch the championship from them once again?"

"miss you!"

Enemies, both dead and alive, are ready to go.
