New Wembley Stadium, Manchester United locker room.

Many of Manchester United's players sat tiredly, some closed their eyes for rest, while others lay down and asked the team doctor to give massages.

The team's two assistant coaches were a little worried when they looked at the players. They knew that it was because the first half was too intense and everyone consumed too much physical energy.

Head coach Ferguson walked in.

He had a serious expression on his face, but after entering the room, he just stood there and said nothing more.

The team looks worrying now.

In Ferguson's opinion, the team's overall performance in the first half was still good, with players with poor performance, but there were more players with good performance. Overall, the team performed much better than during the warm-up match.

But this is how he played head-on with Manchester City but was still one goal behind. By the second half, the team was somewhat suppressed.

He can also see what football commentators analyzed, where did Manchester United lose in the first half?

Physical fitness.

There is no doubt.

Because the game is too intense, after thirty minutes, some players are severely exhausted, and the team must do an offensive interval to adjust the rhythm and state.

But Manchester United has adjusted, but the opponent has not. Manchester City's fight is still very fierce and the offense is still very despised. As a result, Manchester United was scored a goal.

In the situation, this goal seems to be a natural goal, just as if Manchester City should have scored.

This made Ferguson feel even more uncomfortable.

Thinking about the face of the young Chinese at the press conference, he felt gritting his teeth. He vowed that if Manchester United wins the game, he must make the Chinese look good... However, Manchester City did show strength in the game and show strength. This is the first time Ferguson has felt it in several seasons.

Manchester United has not won the championship in the previous four seasons. In three of them, he has played against the team that won, whether it was Derby County or Manchester City in the previous two seasons. Even if he could draw or win Manchester United, it was all based on tactics, performance, and some luck.

European media say that Manchester City is a strong team, but it is just a strong team. There is still a gap between its strength and top giants such as Manchester United and A-Milan. That kind of gap can be seen directly in the game scene.

But now this Manchester City team makes people feel that they are no worse than Manchester United at all, and they are even stronger. Overall, Manchester United was at a disadvantage in the first half!

How is this possible?

That's just Manchester City!

They won the league championship for two consecutive seasons, but their strength is never recognized.

The media does not recognize it, and all the strong teams do not recognize it, and of course Ferguson does not recognize it.

But now, Ferguson doesn't want to admit it, but he knows in his heart that this Manchester City is really no worse than Manchester United.

What makes him most incredible is Manchester City's physical reserves. Logically speaking, the opponent only gathers training to prepare for more than ten days. The preparation time is shorter than Manchester United, so it is unlikely that there will be more physical fitness than Manchester United.

But the situation is completely opposite.

It is obvious that the overall physical reserve of the opponent's team is better!

Is this the so-called 'the ability of top sports experts' reported by the media?

Ferguson was confused.

In fact, Ferguson was disdainful of Wansheng's kinematic research. He didn't understand those unscientific science, but European football is not without science, and the "Milan Laboratory" is quite high-end.

In order to optimize the management of the athlete's psychological and physical condition, the club entrusts this important task to the Milan laboratory, which is said to be "a representative of the perfect combination of technology, it, cybernetics and psychology."

Ferguson didn't know how professional the Milan laboratory is, but they definitely couldn't do what Manchester City are now - spend more time to reserve more physical fitness for players!

How did Manchester City do it?

Is it really like the media saying: the young Chinese is the top professional in kinematics?

The most top?

Can the most top so-called ‘professionals’ do it?

Ferguson was quite surprised and incredible.

"Should Manchester United hire professional sports experts to provide guidance?"

He thought.

When an assistant coach saw it, Ferguson shook his head quickly and stopped thinking about it.

He knew that it made no sense.

No matter what method Manchester City uses to prepare for training or why Manchester City is so strong now, that is all considered later. The most important thing at present is to deal with the game.

The team is lagging behind now, but the tactics are basically fine, and the players are not having any problem in playing. There is only one thing left to do - the whole team continues to work hard and strive to play better in the second half!

Ferguson snorted coldly, attracting all his attention.

After that, he began to speak seriously and conscientiously.

Manchester City locker room.

Wan Sheng is doing the same thing like Ferguson. The only difference is that Manchester City is the leading side and their atmosphere is very good.

"We played very well in the first half. We led by one goal, so we continued to play like this..."

"Our fight should be more active and work hard until the last minute!"

"The Community Shield Cup is not important, but winning Manchester United is more meaningful... I believe that Manchester United will still be our biggest league competitor this season. This victory over them is the best start..."

"Many people pay attention to the game, this is a derby! We must be serious, I cannot make careless mistakes, and lessons are taught again and again..."

“…………”

Wansheng said to everyone, and the contents of the words were a bit fleeing, but everyone listened carefully.

The old players in the team have a high respect for Wansheng, so they will listen carefully to every word Wansheng said.

New players like Torres, Petrov have just entered Manchester City. I feel that Wan Sheng’s speech is very novel, and it makes people feel excited, and they will also listen carefully.

Those players who have not played also hope to know how to play the game and if they have a chance to play, they also hope to perform well.

Therefore, in the first official game of the new season, Wan Sheng’s speech that inspired the players’ fighting spirit was still very successful.

Afterwards, seeing that there was not much time left, the whole Manchester City team walked out with high fighting spirit and prepared to play the second half.

With everyone's expectations, the second half began soon.

The second half of the game still began with the fierce confrontation between the two teams.

It seems to be a replica of the opening of the first half. After the opening of the second half, Manchester City and Manchester United fought fiercely. Especially the confrontation near the center line was particularly fierce.

Both teams want to regain control of the midfield, football keeps running around nearby, and the continuous conversion of ball rights has also allowed everyone to see the intense game.

While the game was fierce, the physical fitness of the players on both sides was also declining, and soon the two teams began to make adjustments.

Unexpectedly, Manchester City was the first to make adjustments.

Wan Sheng asked Robert Carlos to warm up and prepare to play. Because the game was very intense, almost no one would care about the bench. So when Robert Carlos warmed up, not many people noticed it.

It was not until the fourth official raised the substitution card that the media and fans realized that Manchester City was going to substitution. The substitution was one of the last transfer figures to pay attention to in the summer - Brazilian superstar Robert Carlos.

Robert Carlos played as left-back, which is his best position to become famous.

Boateng was replaced.

Boateng has played for nearly 60 minutes, his performance is still stable, he has no mistakes in defense, and lacks bad luck in offense, so Wan Sheng replaced him, and on the other hand, it also allows Carlos to appear and adapt to the Premier League environment.

When Robert Carlos stepped onto the stadium, all the media and fans' attention turned around, even those media fans who supported Manchester United.

Even if Carlos is old, he is also a well-known international star!

Once upon a time, Carlos steadily occupied a position of six superstars in the "Galaxy Battleship". When stars such as Beckham and Raul were unable to play, only Carlos could hold on to the position, and no newcomer could snatch it away. Even if he had conflicts with the Real Madrid president, it would not affect his main position.

The above is enough to show Carlos's strength.

Now that he comes to Manchester City, what kind of performance will he perform when he comes to the Premier League?

Various media are looking forward to it.

At the same time, Wan Sheng did not care about Carlos, but reminded Glenn Johnson next to him, saying, "You and Robert are the same type of players. They are fast, have excellent feet and are both strong. You can see how Robert plays here. He is your senior. You can learn a lot from him."

Hearing such a serious and serious instruction, Glenn Johnson also felt Wan Sheng's importance to him.

He nodded fiercely and said, "Boss, I will look carefully."

While the two talked, the game had begun again.

Carlos' appearance did not have much impact on the overall game. Although he is an international superstar, he is just a player, and his basic performance is only a special focus. For example, Glenn Johnson will pay attention to it, and it will be difficult to affect the overall situation of the game.

Manchester City and Manchester United are still fighting fiercely, and the two sides are competing for each other and not giving in to each other, making the game look particularly exciting.

Time passed little by little, and soon another 10 minutes passed, and Manchester United finally signaled to make a substitution.

Ferguson made up his mind to replace two generals - Giggs and Scholes.

Among the two, Scholes, the younger one, is almost 33 years old. Even if he tries to maintain a good state, his physical fitness will not be able to keep up with him as he gets older.

After 60 minutes of fierce competition, both of them could not run anymore.

Seeing this substitution, media commentators also knew that this was Ferguson's helpless choice.
To be continued...
