In the locker room, Xu Qi is already thrilling.

Recently, Mancini revealed the news of his comeback on the one hand and the blockade on the other hand, which also made Manchester United feel very inaccurate.

But Mancini knew that Xu Qi was already in the game for the team in the last round of the league.

At that time, Xu Qi's health had recovered. He could have come on as a substitute to find his form, but after comprehensive consideration, Mancini did not arrange for Xu Qi to appear.

Although Xu Qi has announced his comeback in this game, it is hard to say whether he starts or sits on the bench.

Ferguson also cared about Xu Qi's problem very much, but he did not have enough information to show whether Xu Qi could make a contribution.

Originally, the injury time announced when Xu Qi was injured was four to five months. Now Xu Qi just announced his efforts in a period of less than four months, so he was indeed not expected to be faster.

Of course, Xu Qi recovers faster, which is related to the former medicinal bath or some traditional Chinese medicine conditioning.

The game time is 8 pm local time. If this time period is counted as Beijing time, it should be 3 pm, which is not suitable for Asian fans to watch.

However, since this is the May Day Golden Week, a large number of fans are willing to stay up late to watch the game because of their vacation.

After all, going out for a trip the next day is not a good choice. It’s so congested outside, it’s better to stay up late to watch the football game at night and sleep at home during the day the next day...

This is the 36th round of the Premier League and the third to last round.

After this game, the competition for Premier League championships may not have a result immediately, but the overall trend should be clearly seen by fans.

Manchester United's starting lineup was also announced at this time.

De Gea is still guarding the goal.

On the back line is a combination of Smalling, Jones, Ferdinand and Evra.

This is basically not too unexpected.

In the midfield, Ferguson chose a five-player combination of Carrick, Scholes, Park Ji-sung, Giggs and Nani.

Among them, the appearance of two veterans Scholes and Giggs at the same time is a rare scene this season.

It seems that Ferguson believes that such a key game requires two veterans to be able to have enough confidence. After all, Manchester City's lineup is indeed very strong. With the improvement of Xu Qi's comeback, Manchester United must definitely gain the upper hand in the midfield competition.

On the front line, this is Rooney's single arrow.

As for Manchester City, due to Xu Qi's injury and absent from the team, Tevez, who was once banned by the team, has returned to the list that Mancini can enable.

During this period, Tevez also made considerable contributions to Manchester City when Xu Qi was not present. It seems that Tevez's future at Manchester City is coming to light again.

However, with Xu Qi's return in this game, Tevez was placed on the bench.

Xu Qi won the starting position after her first appearance after her comeback.

Xu Qi's name is on the list of the starting list.

Goalkeeper Joe Hart, the defense line is Krish, Kompany, Lescott, and Sabaleta.

The midfielder is still the partner of Bari and Yaya Toure.

The two wings are Nasri and David Silva.

Xu Qi is in the middle, while Aguero is in the front.

During the period when Xu Qi was away, Tevez often participated in the team's organizational offensive work in the middle lane, and Mancini was also a matter of reconciliation with Tevez.

Xu Qi was quite happy that Tevez was able to return to the team.

Although this fierce looking guy is not very likable, he is still a good person.

This time Mancini arranged him on the bench, and he had no objection. After all, Xu Qi was the one who replaced him. Tevez actually admired Xu Qi's ability. He had no objection to Xu Qi's entry into the starting lineup.

The two teams basically have a five-midfield single arrow formation, with almost the same formation, except that most of Manchester United veterans, while Manchester City players are more energetic.

On the bench, both teams have many variables. Manchester City has Balotelli, who has just returned from ban due to suspension, as well as Dzeko, Milner, De Jong and others.

As for Manchester United, there are also many options such as Ashley Young, Valencia, Berbatov, Hernandez, and Velbeck.

Manchester City is definitely very prepared for this game and has not lost any staff.

However, Manchester United's injury list is quite long. Although most of them are substitutes who are difficult to play, injuries such as Vidic will affect the strength of Manchester United, as well as players such as Fletcher and Anderson. Their injuries are also the reason why Ferguson sent two veterans to play. The remaining injuries such as Lindergard, Irving, and young player Pogba will not affect the normal performance of Manchester United.

At the beginning, Manchester United was not conservative. Although they only needed a draw to accept it, they still took the lead in launching the attack.

Nani appeared on the left side, and he chose to make a cross with a rare cross, but this time the cross was like a lob shot from the goal, and the ball was hit by Hart.

However, Carrick followed and volleyed, and Kompani blocked the ball from the penalty area line with his body.

Although Manchester United signaled that Kompany's blocking of the ball just now seemed to be suspected of handball, the referee still ordered Manchester United to get a corner kick.

This corner kick did not threaten Manchester City's goal.

Manchester City naturally had to fight back, and they quickly organized a very smooth offensive cooperation.

David Silva dribbled the ball horizontally from the right, and he took it to the penalty area arc and shot a long time, but the ball was blocked by Ferdinand.

Then Xu Qi followed up with a heavy cannon and raised it out of the crossbar.

After his comeback, Xu Qi completed his first touch, and his first touch was a shot, which was powerful. Unfortunately, the sight has not been adjusted yet and did not threaten Daode Gea.

On the sidelines of the Etihad Stadium, many big stars gathered to watch the game on the spot.

It includes some famous rock band stars and Hollywood film and television stars, but today's sidelines are the famous Argentina star Maradona.

It seems that he is visiting his son-in-law Aguero. After Aguero completed a shot from the right penalty area missed, Maradona also hugged her head and expressed his regret.

At the beginning, the pace of the game was quite fast, and both sides were not conservative at all. They wanted to win to put the team in a more favorable position.

If Manchester United wins, they will lead Manchester City to six points. The next two games can be sure to win the championship. What an attractive condition, they naturally want to win.

And they are actually willing to accept the tie ball.

However, Manchester City cannot accept losing and drawing. They must be in the best form and strive for victory!

In the sky blue ocean of Etihad, Manchester City gradually took advantage of the midfield advantages and home advantage to start controlling the game.
Chapter completed!
