"Under such great pressure, I don't want to blame Christie for the last penalty."
"He performed well enough in this game."
"If it weren't for his long shot, today's game would be 3:1 instead of 3:2."
At the press conference after the game, when Ferguson was asked by reporters about the penalty at the last moment.
The red-nosed old man chose to defend his beloved Portuguese disciple in front of the camera.
But Ferguson returned to the locker room.
He changed his expression instantly. The defense in front of the media was a master-disciple relationship, and he still had to get angry.
Lost to Manchester City for the fourth time. If he didn't get angry, Ferguson would feel sorry for his more than ten years in Manchester United.
"Penalty!!"
"Starting from today!"
"Everyone will practice 10, no, 20 penalties every day in the training match!!"
After saying this, Ferguson glared at Ronaldo in the corner in front of everyone.
Then he saw Ronaldo's lost look.
After Ferguson snorted, his expression could not help but slow down.
"Keep working hard."
"We still have the Champions League to play next, and we have the opportunity to achieve some new achievements this season."
"As for the league... all we can do is work hard to win every game next time."
............................................
On the other side, Manchester City held a press conference after the game.
Of course, the reporters mentioned the topic of winning the Premier League this season and Manchester City is expected to achieve two consecutive championships.
Stewart raised his finger to gesture.
"Yes, we do have a big lead in the standings."
"But we still have six rounds of games to go, including opponents such as Chelsea, Arsenal, and Tottenham. And the current schedule is very dense, and we still have the Champions League to play, so it is a problem for the players to maintain their condition."
"About the topic of winning the championship, maybe we can discuss it later."
The Premier League media were surprised that Stewart did not show arrogance after winning Manchester United, but was so humble instead.
Little did they know that today's game sounded a wake-up call for Stewart.
At present, the team's offensive end is indeed full of firepower.
But the defensive end still has a lot of room for improvement.
The Champions League is coming soon.
After beating Roma, the semi-finals and the final will only be more difficult.
Stewart is now worried about the next Champions League. How to improve the team's defense based on the existing lineup when it is impossible to strengthen the players.

"Manchester Derby Ends! Su Fei's Hat Trick Almost Kills Manchester United!"
"Premier League Round 32: Manchester City 3:2 Rebounds Manchester United and Wins the Derby Again!"
"Premier League Express! Ronaldo Misses the Equalizing Penalty and Kneels on the Court in Annoyance!"
"You Come and I Go! Offensive Battle! Manchester City 3-2 Manchester United Full Highlights Replay!"
"The Sky in Manchester is Blue! Blue Moon Reverses the Red Devils 3:2!"
After the game, news reports about this game are naturally indispensable.
However, the devilish schedule of three games a week did not give Manchester City time to catch their breath.
......................................................
On April 9, the 33rd round of the Premier League arrived.
Manchester City played at home against the challenge from Tottenham Hotspur.
The last time the two teams met this season was in the 19th round of the Premier League, when Tottenham Hotspur ranked sixth in the Premier League.
The end of the season is approaching.
Tottenham Hotspur successfully improved its ranking by one place to fifth place, and is currently competing with fourth-ranked Arsenal for a place in the Champions League zone.
Under such a premise.
The game that day was naturally very intense, and the "White Lily" players tried their best to take a victory away from Manchester City's home court.
......
At 3:30 in the afternoon.
The game started on time, and Tottenham Hotspur started.
Goalkeeper: Paul Johnson.
Defenders: Chimbonda, Dawson, Ledley King, Ekotto.
Midfielders: Jenas, Lennon, Davis, Huddlestone.
Two strikers: Berbatov, Robbie Keane.
This season, Tottenham's starting lineup has undergone a major change.
Michael Carrick, the team's defensive gate, was poached by the red-nosed old man to Manchester United, and Frederick, Giles and other main players left the team.
HoweverIt was also last summer that Tottenham welcomed the joining of "cool brother" Berbatov, and established the double striker system with Berbatov and Robbie Keane as the core offensive tactics of the team.
Martin Jol brought in Chimbonda from Wigan Athletic and Asu Ekotto from Lens... A large number of players were introduced to improve the team's lineup.
This is also the reason why Tottenham can still maintain its competitiveness in the European Cup this season despite the departure of many former main players.
......
In the 11th minute of the game, 21-year-old Tottenham youngster Huddlestone, who had just signed a new contract with the team, sent a precise cross from the right.
Berbatov, like a ghost, avoided Manchester City's back line, appeared at the landing point of the football, headed the ball and scored successfully.
0:1!
Manchester City, who was at home, fell behind by one goal shortly after the start. Berbatov, the "cool guy" from Bulgaria, made a graceful flying kiss celebration on the court.
......
Manchester City's main players were indeed tired after the derby battle with Manchester United the day before yesterday.
Not long after Berbatov scored.
In the 17th minute of the game. A quick counterattack from Tottenham caused a major mistake in Manchester City's defense. Berbatov successfully countered the offside, giving Cool Brother a chance to score alone.
Cool Brother aimed far and shot close in the penalty area, successfully sending the ball into the near corner of the goal.
0:2!
The entire Etihad Stadium was filled with the cheers of two thousand Tottenham fans who went with the team.
......
Until the halftime break, neither team scored again. Manchester City returned to the home team's locker room with a 0:2 deficit.
Panting, resting, tired.
Stuart, who was about to get angry, held back when he saw the players were exhausted.
......
In the second half, Manchester City players gritted their teeth and ran hard, but they could not overcome the physical fatigue and the resulting difficulty in concentrating.
In addition, all Tottenham players were in a state of unity.
In the 71st minute of the game. Huddlestone made a straight pass and found the captain Robbie Keane in the frontcourt. Robbie Keane shot a long-range heavy cannon and successfully scored.
0:3!
Tottenham scored enough goals to establish a winning advantage and ended the suspense of the game in advance.
Manchester City did not score until the end of the game.
At the end of the 33rd round of the Premier League, Manchester City 0:3 Tottenham, Tottenham gave Manchester City the second defeat of the season.
Etihad booed.
Blue Moon fans can understand the players' state problems, but understanding does not mean acceptance.
......
Post-match press conference.
The reporters did not ask too many questions about the game, but talked about Manchester City's Champions League quarter-final match against Roma the day after tomorrow.
Stuart tried to cheer himself up.
"Like I said before, it's hard to maintain a good state under such a dense schedule."
"But we have room for error in the league, but not in the Champions League."
"So the game the day after tomorrow will only have one result, that is, win and advance to the semi-finals!"
