The Manchester City club has lost a general this season, that is, the 24-year-old England wing Sean Wright Phillips, a legend in English football.

As a football player, Sean Wright was too short and thin. When he was an adult, he was only 168cm and 64kg. He was the kind of little mouse that made people feel that he would be knocked away by his opponent on the field. He was black and small , very inconspicuous.

Because of physical disadvantages, Sean Wright, who entered Nottingham Forest since childhood, was abandoned by Nottingham Forest Club at the age of 15, thinking that he was not suitable for football.

However, the Manchester City club took him in on the grounds that he had a very famous stepfather: former Arsenal legendary striker Ian Wright!

Sean Wright, who came to the Manchester City club, began to quickly show his football talent. This is an extremely fast player with a strong ability to dribble and break through. He also has a good cross when he is on the right. He was spotted by then Manchester City manager Joe Royle and called him into the first team when he was 18.

Sean Wright started his Premier League career, his short stature and bright big eyes have always been the object of suspicion, but soon this little man conquered everyone with his skills, not only in the Manchester City team He became the main midfielder and was selected for the national team last year. He is considered to be Beckham's successor.

Became Manchester City's main winger for four consecutive seasons, played 153 times in six seasons and scored 26 goals.

This number of goals is not too outstanding, but considering that Sean Wright's body is not suitable for attacking the penalty area, his main fighting method is to break through the side after a quick start, pass from the bottom, and the shots are far away Focusing on shooting, such a number of goals is not easy.

However, in order to alleviate the team's economic crisis, Manchester City had to transfer Sean Wright to Chelsea for a price of 2100 million pounds.

City have made up for the loss of Sean Wright this season by bringing in equally diminutive striker Darius Vassell from Aston Villa.

Darius Vassell, 24 years old, his height is also very short, only 170CM. He once participated in the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup as a substitute striker. This player's attack style is somewhat similar to Sean Wright. But whether it is speed or ball handling ability, it is slightly inferior to Sean Wright. The only thing that is worse than Sean Wright is his physical fitness. Darius Vassell is very strong, The weight reaches 76KG.

Darius Vassell + Andy Cole are the guarantee for Manchester City to achieve a brilliant record in August!
Today, because Andy Cole was unable to play, he was replaced by the 20-year-old teenager forward Robbie Croft. This player is not tall, only 175CM.

In other words, Manchester City does not have a good big center forward, and the coach Stewart Pierce sent a short striker combination. Faced with the tall Manchester United back line with outstanding anti-high ball ability, Manchester City consciously gave up. The competition for the high ball in the penalty area was changed to ground tactics.

※※※

In today's round of competition, 7 games will be held simultaneously at 15:[-] on Saturday afternoon.

In addition to the Manchester City derby, there is also the Tottenham vs. Liverpool game that attracts attention. English football is a festival to celebrate on this day. One south and one north, the south is in London, where the Premier League team is most dense, and the north is in In the northwest city of Manchester, the four teams in the two games performed well in August. Except for Tottenham's loss to the top team Chelsea in the fourth round, the four teams remained unbeaten in other games!
Ronando sadly missed the battle. He was wearing a red shirt and sat in the stands, with his agent Mendes beside him.

"My dear Ronando, you have been amazing this month. We are about to succeed in the endorsement market, you know? Nike has reached an initial interest with us, and they want to invite Barcelona's Dina And you and Erdinho are shooting a commercial together... the kind of episodic commercial with a title attached!"

Nike!Episodic commercial!Ronaldinho from Barcelona!

Even though Ronando had seen a lot now, his heart began to pound violently.

Nike is a giant in the sports world. A sports star who can endorse Nike is equivalent to winning an award. Ronaldinho was last year's World Player of the Year. Ronando can really partner with Ronaldinho to shoot this commercial, without mentioning the endorsement fee, just the commercial itself is a huge gain for Ronando.

No wonder Mendes uses phrases like "we're going to make it in the endorsement market"!

"Jorge, why did Nike look at me? Don't they always look at the most famous big names?"

"Hehe, although you have changed your name, many people still call you Ronaldinho, and your influence in the Eastern market, these are all important factors that contributed to this endorsement. My dear Ronando, this is A leap forward to the world, we will seize the opportunity! ... Of course, the Champions League group stage that will be played soon is the focus, understand?"

Of course Ronaldinho understood what Mendes meant. Nike chose him because he was called "Ronaldo" and Ronaldinho was "Ronaldo".

Today's genuine Ronaldo is already "Fat Luo". The one who is just now popular is Ronaldinho. Nike has a keen eye. They are staring at the gimmick "Ronaldo", but Ronaldo's reputation is obviously not enough. Only the Portuguese Super League, the Europa League, and a short one-month experience in the Premier League. What can be said is only Ronando's age and development potential. Therefore, in order to prove himself, Ronando must be in the Champions League group stage. Play eye-catching.

It is conceivable that a brand like Nike does not want to ruin its own brand. If Ronando cannot perform well in the Champions League group stage, this endorsement will be yellow.

"Well, Jorge, thank you! I promise to score in the Champions League this month!"

The game at Old Trafford was in full swing, with neither side giving in.

Manchester United wins because of their overall strength. Whether it is the players' personal skills or the team's technical and tactical level, they have completely defeated their opponents, while Manchester City players are more relaxed. They are generally less affected during the national team match day in early September. Light, which makes the physical reserve of Manchester City players better than Manchester United.

In the 28th minute of the first half, 30-year-old Ben Thatcher, a veteran of Manchester City's defense, kicked Rooney over in defense and was sentenced to a yellow card.

Manchester City's defense is relatively high-end. In addition to the strong and fierce left-back Ben Thatcher, the center-back combination is the 192-year-old Frenchman Sylvain Distin with a height of 28 cm, and the 185-year-old Frenchman with a height of 26 cm. Ireland international Richard Dunne, right back is 28-year-old Danny Mills, he was selected for the 2002 World Cup squad.

It can be said that Manchester City's back line is not much inferior to Manchester United's. It has both height and strength, and it does not lack dexterity.

Manchester United's striker suffered a lot of resistance in the offense!

In particular, Rooney, who was serving as a hidden striker today, was treated extremely strictly by a group of Manchester City players. These rough guys were like dealing with enemies, and they would not show mercy... In fact, Manchester City can compete with these few rivals in the same city. The season was evenly tied, relying on the fact that they dared to work harder than Manchester United players.

red card?It doesn't matter, the Manchester City players who were sentenced to death with a red card in the Manchester City Derby are something to be proud of!
As for the yellow card, it doesn't matter even more. The central defender No. 22 Richard Dunn even ran up and patted Ben Thatcher on the shoulder, giving him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement.

Irish international Richard Dunn is the youngest in the back line, but his qualifications are not light. Not only is he an important member of the Irish national team's back line, but he joined Manchester City at the age of 19. Since then Has always been the backbone of the team's back line, much more senior than the other three players.

The reason why Richard Dunn encouraged Ben Thatcher was precisely because Rooney's breakthrough had already posed a great threat to Manchester City's back line. At this time, someone must stand up and give Rooney a guy. Teach Rooney a lesson.

"Bah! You bastard!"

Rooney got up from the ground, regardless of the pain in his calf, he cursed as soon as he opened his mouth!
Rooney's anger, not only did not make Ben Thatcher timid, but also made this blond and powerful England defender angry.

"What do you want? Fatty?" Ben Thatcher took a step forward and challenged.

Seeing that the two players on both sides were about to be at war, the Manchester City players didn't feel much, but the Manchester United players were nervous!

Ben Thatcher is an insignificant player on the back line of Manchester City. His personal ability is the worst among the four defenders. He can squeeze into the starting lineup because of his daring and hard work. It means that, on the contrary, Rooney is a sharp-edged figure on Manchester United's striker. If the two conflict, Manchester United will definitely suffer!
"Rooney! Calm down!"

"Wayne, don't fall into that guy's trap!"

Ruoney and Alan Smith rushed up quickly, and both hugged the furious Rooney, preventing him from rushing up and entangled with each other.

Seeing other players of the Manchester United team rushing forward to prevent the further outbreak of the situation, Ben Thatcher licked his lips in disappointment, stepped aside resentfully, and went to the penalty area with other teammates to line up the wall, preparing to defend any of the Manchester United team. ball.

The conflict between Rooney and Ben Thatcher has made the situation on the court more and more heated.

In fact, this is also the case. In every Manchester City derby, there are always a few yellow cards. It is not surprising that the weaker Manchester City team gets a red card. Although the players are also stars, compared with Manchester United players, they are barefoot.
