For "Blue Moon", the chances of their competition with Manchester United for the Premier League championship this season are only theoretical. In the middle of the week, Manchester City played a game with Liverpool at home, and the result was... 2:2!

Although Manchester City, who played at home, got two goals in the first half with the goals of Haaland and Jessus, won two free kicks in the second half, Liverpool's French midfielder Ferkier scored two consecutive free kicks, locking the score at 2:2!

After a draw in a make-up game, "Blue Moon" played 28 rounds of games with the "Red Devils", but there was a gap of up to 12 points in the standings. Such a huge score difference was almost a desperate natural barrier, lying between the two Manchester teams.

Although there are still ten rounds left in the Premier League this season, theoretically speaking, as long as the score difference is not particularly large, there is still hope to catch up.

But in fact... How could the "Red Devils" who have always had a stable record this season be able to give them a good idea?

For Manchester City, the next Manchester City derby in the second leg of the season at Old Trafford is not only their best chance to catch up with the score, but also requires them to win a big victory that can hit Manchester United, so that they can still have a chance to catch up in the future!

After all, Manchester United's Champions League match is far from over. In the future, their energy will inevitably be dispersed. Once that happens, Manchester City will still have a chance to chase after it.

Before this game, the English football media began to hype this "Manchester City Derby" like crazy. Countless reporters sent by the media came to Manchester and interviewed the head coaches and players of the two teams through various channels. They even went to the security personnel at the entrance of the training base for interviews, wanting to learn more about the situation of the two teams.

Guardiola has been in England for two years. Although the "Blue Moon" he created according to his plan is now a top team in Europe, they have really not been able to win any honors in the past two years, so... their spirit has been wiped out a lot and their temper has improved a lot!

Faced with the constant harassment of reporters, Guardiola also said something one after another...

"Although we were playing away, the team and I were almost completely affected. We didn't need to spend a long time on the road, and we wouldn't have the fatigue caused by the journey. For us, we just changed into a field with fewer fans to play."

"Ellin is great, very good! Ellin has scored a lot of goals this season. He has fully integrated into the team and made great contributions to the team. I have seen great potential in him. I believe that if there is still someone who can threaten Young's dominance in the world football in the next ten years, then this person will definitely be Ellin!"

"After coming here from Manchester United, Marcus has recovered his form this season. His goals and assists are excellent, providing a very useful addition to the team's offense... Why not? As long as Marcus's own form is fine, he will be in the next game!"

"The current situation in the league is indeed unfavorable to us, but there are ten rounds left in the league. I firmly believe that anything can happen and we will not be without a chance! But first we must be ourselves and show our strength in every game!"

Guardiola still attaches great importance to this "Manchester City Derby" and is very confident, but the result of the game... he dare not say it!

Who dares to say that he can win with Manchester United at Old Trafford?

Not to mention the "Red Devils" who are now dominant, even in the years when Manchester United fell into chaos after Ferguson retired, no one dared to say that they would definitely beat Manchester United at Old Trafford. This is the wealthy heritage accumulated by the "Red Devils" over the years.

In an interview before the game, Solskjaer was obviously more confident than Guardiola: "We are playing at home, and we will strive to win the game, but neither the team nor me will be under pressure. We have a great advantage in leading the standings. Even if something unexpected happens, the team has enough ability to ensure that the final result will not change and we will defend the title again."

The fact is indeed as Solskjaer said, Manchester United is not just confident now. They have absolute confidence in their strength, but the most important thing is... mentality!

After continuous success, the "Red Devils" have been completely sublimated in their mental power. No matter how they face any opponent, they will not be afraid. Even the "Blue Moon" with stronger strength than themselves on paper is just a relatively strong opponent in the eyes of Manchester United players.

Don’t be surprised by favors and disgraces!

Manchester United now has this almost calm mentality. This is only after a team has been winning for a long time and has been constantly winning, so this kind of strong self-confidence will gradually form!

Moreover, with the leadership of Yang Xiaozhuang, the "king", Manchester United players now do not consider their team to "lose" in the game. They always believe that as long as there is a "king", even if they are two or three goals behind or even more, the outcome of the game will not be finalized.

As long as we unite and fight around the "King", Manchester United... can win the final victory!

Yang Xiaozhuang is able to have such a high status in Manchester United now, which is only achieved after he led the team to win one game after another. Of course, this has also made the Manchester United players depend on their mentality. Fortunately... the young Manchester United "king" can still be reliable!

However, no matter how powerful the "king" is, it will always meet challengers!

"Demon" Haaland shouted to Yang Xiaozhuang from the air before the game: "Yang, the last time you were at the City Stadium, you lacked the value because you were injured. This time you played at Old Trafford Stadium, I hope this will be a wonderful game!"

Haaland and Yang Xiaozhuang have the same agent. Because Yang Xiaozhuang holds some shares in Raiola, the high income of the "Demon" can be divided into his pocket, so Yang Xiaozhuang still doesn't hate this star who is less than a month younger than him.

When Haaland challenged him, Yang Xiaozhuang felt that it was "necessary" to respond. After all, if the reputation of the "Demon Man" is improved, he will gain higher returns, and naturally Yang Xiaozhuang can get more.

So Yang Xiaozhuang passed on a sentence through an interview with his reporter: "Ellyn is a very potential scorer, but if he wants to challenge me, he needs to work harder! Not to mention that he can lead many Premier League champions in Manchester City and win the Champions League trophy, at least... he has to win the Premier League top scorer once, right?"

Well!

After hearing Yang Xiaozhuang's words, the reporters felt that the face hurt for Haaland!

But Yang Xiaozhuang's words are unrefutable. Since Yang Xiaozhuang emerged from Manchester United, she has helped Manchester United win three Premier League championships and three Champions League trophys. In addition... every season, she will win the Premier League's top scorer, the Champions League best scorer, and the European Golden Boot with a record number of goals!

Then... Haaland seems to have to at least win the honor of the best scorer first before he can be qualified to challenge Yang Xiaozhuang!

But no matter what, after Yang Xiaozhuang responded to Haaland, the fame of "Demon" was suddenly improved. Fans around the world now know that an unknown guy challenged "God Yang".

And then...Huh!? This Haaland is pretty good!

"The Magic" has scored 32 goals in the Premier League this season, and Qi has also scored 8 goals in the Champions League, and has played in 44 games for Manchester City in all competitions throughout the season. This performance... is really not bad at all!
