Chapter 464 The outcome is unpredictable!

At noon on Saturday, Old Trafford Stadium was full early, and many fans even came when they could enter the venue at around 9 a.m. Even lunch was done with fast food at Old Trafford Stadium.

The fans of both sides also started to compete early. The 3,000 Manchester City fans never stopped waiting for more than two hours. They kept singing songs to express their expectations for the team.

For this game, the fans of "Blue Moon" really came with hope. When the two sides met at the city stadium before, Manchester City was tied three times after three leads because of bad luck, and finally turned the tables by Manchester United.

But this time... it's different!

The last time the two sides met, Manchester United had a super scorer, China Yang, but Manchester City did not have a high-efficiency shooter, but now... the "Demon" is here!

In the eyes of Manchester City fans, "magic" Haaland is the savior of their team. He has scored goals in seven consecutive games in the past year and scored 9 goals for Manchester City in various competitions. Such performance is enough to make Haaland the new favorite of Manchester City fans.

What's more, when the team was training recently, Manchester City fans also saw the efforts of the "Demons". The Norwegian talented center is really working hard in training, and the effect is very obvious. Even Guardiola and his coaching staff feel that Haaland is integrating into the team at a fast speed every day.

Now Haaland can run and get a position in the penalty area, and it is easier to receive passes from his teammates. Although he is not smart enough when dealing with a short-range sudden pass, it is also because of Haaland's own physical condition. If he is so tall and strong, he can still be as smart as Messi in such a strong situation, that's a terrible thing!

"I believe that I don't need to introduce it more than anything. Everyone knows that this may be the match point of this season's championship battle! If we can win Manchester City at home, we will have the advantage of 6 points ahead of Manchester City with one less game, and it is very likely that we will lead by 9 points. Then with only ten rounds left in the league, the advantage of 9 points is really a very safe leading distance for us, which means we will win the league championship ahead of schedule!"

"However, we must not underestimate Manchester City's strength. Guardiola's team this season is the only team that poses a threat to us, especially after they bought Haaland during the winter transfer, the young Norwegian genius has scored a lot of goals for Manchester City. He will be the most threatening player in this game! At present, Ole has arranged a central defender combination between Axel and Raphael, so Raphael's task must be to mark Haaland! Axel is also very strong, but he still has a disadvantage in height compared to Haaland, but Raphael's athletic ability is not as good as Haaland. In today's game, our central defender combination seems to have to withstand some tests!"

Although the on-site commentator at Old Trafford Stadium was always commenting on Manchester City's advantages during analysis, his tone of speaking was still very relaxed, and he was really... confident!

The "Red Devils" are in good shape recently, especially the "Kings" have recently started to score explosive goals. In this case, will Manchester United, who plays at home, have no confidence in facing Manchester City?

So what if you can score a goal by Haaland?

We also have a "king" who scored a lot of goals!

What's more, when we are away games, Manchester United can win, so how can we not win when we return to our home court?

Although Manchester United is very confident, Manchester City is actually very confident. In recent times, the "Devil"'s goal efficiency has been quite terrifying, and he can score goals every game. In addition, Manchester City's pass control tactics will give them the initiative in the game... So... even if this is Old Trafford Stadium?

In the visiting team's locker room, Guardiola was conveying the final instructions to his team: "When we have the ball, how to attack, I believe you all know, that has become our instinct. But if we want to win today's game, the key is to look at our defensive work! Remember, you must keep an eye on the opponent's Yang. As long as the opponent's attack is Yang, the primary defensive target is Yang. While staring at Yang, you must also beware of the opponent's back insertion in the midfield. The two of their wingers are first wary of Martial, and he is more threatening! Andreas Pereira on the right focuses on crossing, and he will definitely not have many opportunities to enter our penalty area! If you do a good job of defense, we can win!"

"Finally, I won't repeat how important this game is today! If we win, we still have a chance to compete for the league championship this season. If we lose... we will do our best to win the Champions League!"

Guardiola didn't say anything about losing in today's game, so Manchester City would never have the chance to compete with Manchester United for the league championship, because Manchester City now has more than one league championship as their goal. In the first round of the Champions League knockout stage, they defeated Lyon two goals away from home with the goals of Haaland and Koeman. It was a foregone conclusion that they made it to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season.

After entering the Champions League quarterfinals, if there is no bond with the league, perhaps "Blue Moon" can really go further in the Champions League this season!

Of course, this is also thanks to Red Bull Salzburg for not being able to play in the Champions League this season, so they did not sign up for Haaland for the Champions League.

This season, the Premier League teams are a bit of a dominant position in the Champions League. They have five teams including Manchester United, Manchester City, Everton, Arsenal, and Liverpool to participate in the Champions League. As a result, all of these five teams have obtained the right to qualify in the group and reached the top 16 of the Champions League.

It's okay for Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal. No one expected that Everton, a team currently ranked 12th in the league, could qualify in the Champions League group stage. Even after they encountered Barcelona, ​​they lost to Barcelona in the first leg of the away game with only one goal. After they returned to their home court... they might even be able to turn the tables!

It is not difficult to see from this that the overall strength of Premier League teams is really strong. Even teams like Everton can pass the group stage test in the Champions League. For real powerful men like Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal, they are really too competitive against the Champions League trophy.

But this is enough to prove that in this game between Manchester and Manchester City, there is almost no gap in strength between the two teams!
