Chapter 724 Guardiola's Nemesis

Chapter seven hundred and twenty fourth Guardiola's nemesis

On April 9, the thirty-first round of the Premier League.

The absolute focus of this round may be regarded as the most crucial game of the season.

Manchester derby!

Manchester United are at Old Trafford and face rivals Manchester City! !

In the stands, red has an absolute advantage!

Old Trafford, this is the home of the reds! !

Here, Manchester United fans chanted United songs, waved flags and cheered as they waited for the game to start.

When Manchester City players walked into Old Trafford, they were greeted by a tsunami of cheers.

But of course the cheers were not for them, but for the Manchester United players next to them.

Manchester United fans are using this way to put pressure on Manchester City players to know whose territory is here!

In fact, after introducing the appearance lists of both sides, Manchester City players have already felt the "enthusiasm" of the opposing fans.

Such scenes are not uncommon for Manchester City players.

It would be hell if the Manchester United fans were friendly to them.

In the stands, there were still many Manchester United fans hanging a lot of slogans mocking Manchester City.

"A warm welcome to the pets of the oil merchants!"

"Hey, want a tour of our honours room? Man City guys?"

The two teams were mortal enemies, and the fans of both sides were full of hostility. Now with the rise of Manchester City and become Manchester United's league rivals, such hostility is naturally deeper!

Before the players from both sides entered the field, the two teams shook hands on the sidelines.

This is of course not the first time Gao Bo and Guardiola have played against each other. Even in the Premier League, this is the second time the two have met.

The record of Gao Bo and Guardiola's play can be traced back to the La Liga in the 2010-2011 season!

At that time,

The first time the two sides met, Atletico Madrid led by Gao Bo swept Barcelona five to one at the Nou Camp!

Such a result has made Barcelona fans hate it until now.

And in the following season, at the Calderon Stadium, Barcelona again lost a 1-5!

These two defeats were the worst losses of Guardiola's career.

none of them!

"In the battle between Gao Bo and Guardiola, including in La Liga, in the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, and the Premier League, the two sides played a total of eight times, of which Guardiola lost seven of them. Gao Bo is the only manager to let Guardiola lose so many games."

Before the start of the game, commentator Letkinson was introducing to everyone.

"The first time the two sides played against each other this season will not be mentioned. Manchester City defeated Manchester United at home and won the first victory between the two sides this season. In La Liga, Guardiola's Barcelona was completely defeated by Gao Bo's Madrid. The competition is suppressed!!"

"In the game against Gao Bo, Guardiola has never won a game. Yes, Guardiola has not won even a game against Gao Bo!"

It’s okay not to look back on this history, but a look back can really be scary.

Everyone knows that Guardiola single-handedly created Barcelona's dream of three dynasties, and such a cutting-edge head coach is actually powerless in the face of Gao Bo.

Looking at the statistics, Gao Bo has the absolute upper hand, and it can be said that he "hung" Guardiola.

I don’t know if the treats will change after coming to the Premier League.

"Let's first take a look at the starting list of the home team Manchester United. The goalkeeper De Gea, the center back combination is Ferdinand and Hummels, the left back is veteran Evra, and the right back is Rafael. In terms of midfield, Manchester United's midfield is good Call it luxurious, the configuration of three midfielders Modric, Thiago and Pogba, and on the bench, there are players like Scholes and Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa, who was introduced in the winter transfer window. Good player, forward line, center Rooney starts, with Pedro on the left and Portuguese winger Nani on the right! Guardiola has a very strong lineup."

"As for the visiting team Manchester City, this game is still a relatively balanced 4231 formation, with goalkeeper Oblak, central defender Kompany partnered with Koloture, left defender Kolarov, right defender Trippier , the two midfielders Casemiro partnered with Fernandinho, in the frontcourt, the left side returned to Hazard on the left because of David Silva's injury, the right side was still Griezmann, the attacking midfielder card Card, and the striker, replaced by Dzeko!! On the bench, Manchester City still have players such as Vardy and Adam White on standby!"

"This game may be Guardiola's best chance to make a comeback. Manchester City first played a costly Champions League game away from home. David Silva also missed the long Manchester derby due to injury. Manchester United are waiting for work, although Carrick and Scholes are injured, but Manchester United's main lineup has not been injured for the time being, they can play with the strongest lineup!"

As Letkinson spoke, the two head coaches had returned to their positions.

In this crucial game, whether Gao Bo continued his role as "Guardiola's nemesis" or whether Guardiola rebounded against the trend, everyone is very curious.

This game is not reserved for everyone.

After all, there is nothing to reserve. This is basically the final of the league. Whoever wins will take the initiative and will most likely win the championship.

At this time, he still retains his strength. Isn't that a hole in his brain? The premise of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is to eat a tiger. If it is eaten by a tiger instead, it will really become a pig.

After all the pre-match procedures have been carried out, the game officially begins.

Because this game is so important, after the game started, the two sides were very cautious.

Although Gao Bo said in front of the media that this was not the final, the nature of the game was no different from the final.

Since ancient times, there is no name in the finals. Of course, the cautious attitude of both sides is very normal.

Not only are they very cautious about throwing troops into the attack, but both sides will be very cautious about the other's offensive.

Once the opponent has a sign of breaking into the dangerous area, the players will immediately fight, even if it is a foul!

In the first minute of the game, a sliding tackle from Casemiro knocked Modric to the ground and announced the basic rhythm of the game.

Afterwards, Pogba turned around and overturned Fernandinho immediately after he failed to pass and was stole by Fernandinho.

This caused Gao Bo's strong dissatisfaction.

His dissatisfaction is not with Pogba, but with the referee on duty Clattenberg.

He thinks it should at least be a yellow card.

However, Clattenberg just gave Manchester City a set piece, and did not mean to play a card.

At the beginning of the game, the confrontation between the two sides was very fierce, and the game fell into anxiety.
