Chapter 1044
The most eye-catching round of the league is naturally the Manchester derby. Manchester City challenged Manchester United away.

Before this game, Manchester United received the support of all Nottingham Forest fans, because if Manchester City loses this game, it will give the Forest team a chance to overtake Manchester City.

When Mourinho was interviewed before the game, he was asked this question, and he showed his usual arrogance.

"Nottingham Forest? What does it have to do with me? It's a Manchester derby, not a Nottingham derby...Of course I'm going to win, but it's not for anyone else....It doesn't matter if it's a Manchester derby or something else. The win is mine What I'm after..."

He refused to answer all the questions about Nottingham Forest and Tony Twain.

Despite this, Nottingham Forest fans still support Manchester United, because they will definitely not support their direct rivals Manchester City.

Twain also did not express any opinion on this game. Since his comeback, he has rarely publicly expressed any opinion on others in the media, even his old enemy Mourinho is no exception.

But it would be a lie to say that he didn't pay attention to this game.How could he not pay attention to his own team's game?

It's just that he himself doesn't have the conditions to pay attention, because the Manchester Derby and Nottingham Forest games are played at the same time.

David Chris Luck always wears earphones on the coach's bench, listening to the latest developments of the other game through the radio.As long as there is new news, he will definitely tell Tang En.

"Manchester City scored and they were ahead...damn it! What is Mourinho's team doing?"

After hearing the news of Manchester City's goal, he complained so much.

And the cheering sound of the forest to the fans in the stands has also weakened.

Tang En stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, without saying a word.

Within 3 minutes, another message came from over there.This time, before Chris Lak could say anything, cheers broke out in the stands first.

A smile finally appeared on Tang En's face.

"Manchester United scored a goal, they tied the score!!" Chris Lack shouted excitedly to Tang En.In such a noisy environment, he had to raise his volume to ensure that Tang En, who was close at hand, could hear him clearly.

After only focusing on Manchester United for a short time, Tang En withdrew his eyes again and turned to the pitch again.Nottingham Forest's away game against West Ham United is not an easy game.

Now the score is 0:0, the time is 10 minutes into the second half, and the two teams are deadlocked on the scene.The fans of West Ham United were very proud. They were singing: "Manchester City loses, and you can't win! Want to go to Europe? No way!!"

Tang En was about to make a substitution. He replaced the exhausted Balotelli and replaced him with Abanglaho. At the same time, he made adjustments, withdrawing Chen Jian to the position of the midfielder and allowing Wood to lean slightly higher.

Because Chen Jian's outstanding performance in the past half season has been studied by the opponents, and he was violated many times during the game, which is obviously not conducive to the team's offense.Instead of letting Chen Jian continue to be violated by the opponent in front, it is better to withdraw and be farther away from the opponent's defenders, so that he can use his other talent-tempo control.

The characteristics of Chen Jian and Wood are indeed very similar, but under Tang En's training, the two did not clash when they played at the same time, but instead formed a joint force.After anyone is seen dead, another person will take over his job and continue to lead the team forward.This is the benefit of "dual core".

Tang En's adjustment was immediate. West Ham United's defensive deployment was all aimed at Chen Jian before, but now it was replaced by Wood.Although the styles of the two are similar, there is a gap in strength. The two can defend against Chen Jian, but they may not be able to defend against Wood.

While West Ham United hadn't adjusted, Wood launched a surprise attack. His forced breakthrough in the middle disrupted West Ham United's defense, and then he distributed the football to Abanglaho, who had just played for a short time. , Abanglaho broke into the penalty area and suddenly shot the goal. The West Ham goalkeeper threw the ball and let it go, which happened to allow Mitchell on the other side to pick up a bargain and easily fill in the empty goal.

At this time, the Forest fans in the stands burst into louder cheers than Manchester United's goal just now, and a group of people sitting on the coach's bench also let out a sigh of relief.Tony Twain's team is best at playing games after leading, so they have nothing to worry about.Now more people are starting to pay attention to the game on another field. As long as Manchester United can win Manchester City, the Forest team will surpass Manchester City after the game and become the sixth place in the league.

This ranking means that they may directly qualify for the European competition next season.

And Manchester City will be kicked into the abyss by them.

After the Forest team took the lead, the situation of the game was completely controlled by them. The home team West Ham United wanted to equalize the score, but they did not dare to attack.The commentator responsible for explaining the game lamented that the game has entered garbage time ahead of schedule.

In another arena, the competition has entered a heated stage.

The same city derby between Manchester United and Manchester City, after Ferguson left, the smell of gunpowder has faded a lot.With the arrival of Mourinho, the two sides went to the head of the wheat again.Mourinho's big mouth, it is impossible not to offend others, coupled with the special meaning of the same city derby, this game was full of gunpowder after Manchester United quickly equalized the score, and began to develop in another direction.

First, a player from Manchester City knocked Manchester United's striker to the ground with a shovel and received a yellow card.Then the Manchester United players kicked another Manchester City player in retaliation, but only gave a verbal warning, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Manchester City players.

In the ensuing game, the two sides kept making black feet, making stumbling blocks, and small tricks emerged in endlessly.The referee had to whistle and whistle and whistle again, draw cards and draw cards and draw cards.

At the No.707 minute, the players from both sides finally clashed.

At that time, Manchester United's midfielder passed a through ball behind him. Manchester City goalkeeper Josh Connor attacked and saved the football, but the 32-year-old veteran Rooney's temper has not weakened at all despite his age. Withdrawing his legs, he bumped into Connor hard.

It's lively now.

Connor was lying on the ground in pain, while Rooney didn't mean to apologize at all, he got up and patted his ass and was about to leave.

He was immediately surrounded by angry Manchester City players. Seeing that his old captain was going to suffer, Manchester United players also flocked to him. The two sides collided and there was a fierce physical conflict.

The referee's whistle was no longer able to calm them down, and finally the coaches of both sides had to go to the field to pull away the players from both sides who had conflicts.

Faced with such a situation, if the referee only gives a verbal warning and does nothing else, it will only make the situation even more chaotic.

Troubled times use heavy code.

So the referee raised his hand and gave Manchester City a red card and Manchester United two red cards, including Rooney who provoked the incident.

This penalty naturally made Mourinho very dissatisfied. He roared angrily on the sidelines, accusing the referee of being unfair.If it wasn't for his assistant coach who quickly pulled him down, he might even be sent to the stands by the referee who wanted to stand up.

Manchester City manager Mark Brown was also furious.He thinks his team is a total victim, why should he be sent off?
The conflict between the two sides from the field to the coach's bench is an integral part of this game. If there is no hot scene in a city derby, it will only make people feel that the name does not match the reality.

※ ※ ※

There was a conflict between Manchester United and Manchester City, and the news that players on both sides had been sent off immediately reached Dunn's ears.

Everyone can see the joyful expression of Chris Lark, and many people are as happy with this news as he is.

Because in their hearts, the best ending is that Manchester United wins Manchester City, but the two sides have suffered a lot of hard work, and Manchester United lost their troops and lost their generals to win this tragic victory.Nottingham Forest can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Now the development of things is infinitely approaching the "best result" in their hearts.

Tang En also showed a smile on his face, this result was also what he wanted.

He is not worried that United will lose to Manchester City at home.

Here, he stepped up his demands on the team's offense.A one-goal lead is the most unsafe score in the world.

A series of offensives by the Forest team subsequently received results.Wood's long-range shot directly opened the door of West Ham United. Nottingham Forest led 2-0 in the away game. At this time, the end of the game is less than 10 minutes away. There is no suspense for the Forest team to win the game.

But on the other side, the game format is much more dangerous.

At Old Trafford, United's attack suffered after two men were sent off, while City felt they had been treated unfairly and morale jumped.It actually pushed Manchester United back to their penalty area.

This made Mourinho very angry off the court, for which he made a substitution.Instead of increasing the defensive strength, a defender was replaced and a forward was replaced, and there were still two forwards on the front line.He expressed his determination to the Manchester United players on the field through this substitution-must win!
Then the morale of Manchester United players recovered.Their strength is already stronger than Manchester City, and it is at home.Gradually gained the upper hand on the field.

When the game entered stoppage time, Manchester United scored Manchester City's penalty area through a series of wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt.Lee Barnett, who was holding the ball, was knocked to the ground by Manchester City captain Richards. The referee awarded a penalty without hesitation!
This penalty is tantamount to a death sentence for Manchester City. A penalty kick was awarded in stoppage time, and there was no time left for them to equalize the score.

Naturally, the Manchester City players surrounded the referee for a while to reason and protest, to no avail.The referee seemed to feel that he had sent off one man from Manchester City and two from Manchester United. It was not good to do so at Manchester United's home court. We had to find a balance.Naturally, Richards' unrecognizable collision could not be let go.

In this way, Manchester United won the Manchester derby at home with this controversial penalty, defeated Manchester City, and consolidated their first position in the league.

When this news finally reached Tang En's ears, Tang En and his subordinates were already in the locker room.This news made the whole team jubilant. Everyone knows that they have successfully squeezed out Manchester City and occupied the sixth position in the league. As long as they consolidate this position in the last two rounds, they will have European competitions to participate in next season .

Excited players don't just cheer, they want to keep celebrating.But their attempt was quickly stopped by Tang En's gesture.

"There are still two rounds in the league. We have an away game and a home game. The opponent for the home game is still Manchester United. If you think it is time to start celebrating now, then just wait and cry after the last round of the league."

Tang En said coldly.

Suddenly, the happy atmosphere in the locker room was swept away.

"Remember, the season isn't over, it's too early to start celebrating. These last two races are the key. The 1000m is the final sprint, guys. I don't want you to be left behind at the finish line. Celebrate , wait until the game against Manchester United is over."

After saying these words, he was the first to turn around and walk out of the locker room.

The players in the locker room were silent for a while, and then came out one after another, got into the car and left.

Tang En's words poured cold water on them, but Tang En was not worried that it would affect morale.If the team that he has been forging for more than half a season can't even accept such a little ugly, he will not propose the goal of returning to Europe.

The Forest team must reappear in the European arena next season, whether it is the Champions League or the Europa League, in short, the name of Nottingham Forest must be on the list for the European war.This was Tang En's last gift to Tang.

Both Nottingham Forest and Tony Twain had achieved the results they wanted, and only one person felt angry.

"The referee's performance in this game was very poor! My team was wronged, no one should be sent off, only the guy in black!"

Mourinho angrily accused the referee of the game at the press conference. The "man in black" he said should be sent off was the referee.

"We will appeal the decision for this game."

A reporter stood up and asked a question that turned Mourinho from fire to ice in an instant.

"Are you worried that these two red cards will affect Manchester United's final game against Nottingham Forest?"

Mourinho, who was still angrily questioning the referee just now, did not answer the reporter's question in the same tone. He just stared at the reporter and said in a calm voice, "I'm not worried."

What question did the reporter want to ask? Mourinho has already ordered someone else, and the topic has returned to the current conflict that everyone is most concerned about.

The reporter sat down a little unwillingly, thinking about continuing to dig into the final match between Forest and Manchester United.

Although there were still two weeks before that game, the reporter felt that the game in the middle could be skipped and directly entered the climax.The fateful confrontation between Tony Twain and Mourinho was finally staged again after many years. Such a wonderful story attracted the audience more than any conflict in the game.

Those colleagues, why can't they figure out such a simple question?
