On December 3, the 15th round of the Premier League, the first Manchester derby of the new season is here.
Manchester City welcomes the challenge from the Red Devils at home.
The Manchester derby last season was already lively enough, and the new season is even better with Su Fei just winning the Ballon d'Or.
That morning, the streets and alleys of Manchester were filled with gongs and drums, and the fans of the two teams marching and the team songs of the two teams could be heard everywhere.
"Glory glory man united~"
"Glory glory man united~"
"Glory glory man united~"
...
"Blue Moon~"
"You know just what I was there for~"
"You heard me saying a prayer for~"
Sports media from all over Europe also focused their attention on this key match after Su Fei became the new Ballon d'Or.

......................................................
Four o'clock in the evening.
Etihad Stadium, pre-match press conference.
Alex Ferguson appeared on the podium on time with a radiant face.
The first question the reporters asked was, of course, the red-nosed old man's question about Su Fei winning the Golden Globe.
And.
Joey, a reporter from the Manchester Evening News, brought up the old things again and brought up the matter of last year's transfer period.
"Question to Mr. Ferguson, last summer, Manchester United once had the opportunity to get Su, but the fact is that Manchester United missed an 18-year-old Ballon d'Or winner. What do you think?"
Even though he was mentally prepared before attending, the red-nosed old man was still annoyed by Joey's sharp questions.
"Not only did I miss Su, I also missed Alan Shearer, Batistuta, Ronaldo and other superstars."
"So? Should I follow the example of the Oriental islanders and commit seppuku to atone for this?"
"Shut up, Joey. I admit that I misjudged Su's potential and talent. His achievements in this year are amazing. But I am not God, and I don't have the ability to predict the future."
Ferguson's tone was very angry and a little helpless.
He has cultivated and bought so many stars for the Red Devils, but there are always villain reporters like Joey who hold on to a wrong judgment.
Other Premier League media showed sympathetic eyes to Ferguson.
After all, he missed Su Fei at that time.
He is not the only one.
Arsenal and other European giants also had the opportunity to easily sign Su Fei at that time.
Just like Ferguson said.
Without the third eye, no one believed that Su Fei won the World Cup and the Ballon d'Or in just one year.
This pre-match press conference became a unilateral defense-breaking scene for Ferguson.
Stuart ended the interview with a smile throughout the whole process.
"As I have said repeatedly before, we have the best players in the world in Manchester City! Su deserves the Ballon d'Or!"
"But today is still a very challenging game for the team. Manchester United has a new look this season. They are second in the league and they have been winning."
"Cristiano's progress this season is obvious to all. To be honest, I think he is the best striker in the Premier League besides Su."
The old man praised the Red Devils' star player Cristiano Ronaldo this season.
In terms of data.
What he said is indeed true.
Under Su Fei's stimulation, Ronaldo's growth this season is ahead of Su Fei's memory.
Originally, the 2007-08 season was the season when Ronaldo really grew into the Golden Edge Ronaldo. He played 34 times in the league and scored 31 goals, 11 games in the Champions League and scored 8 goals. He helped Manchester United win the Premier League, Champions League and Community Shield titles, and won the Golden Ball, World Footballer of the Year, Premier League Best, European Golden Boot and other top honors.
But since the start of this season.
Ronaldo seems to have completed the evolution of "Golden Edge Ronaldo" ahead of time., 14 league appearances, 14 goals, 5 assists, 5 appearances in the Champions League group stage, 3 goals, in terms of personal data, he is truly the second best player in the Premier League!
Second only to Su Fei.
This is also the reason why Manchester United can now rank second in the Premier League.
So.
Stuart, who returned to the locker room, did not act as relaxed as he did in the pre-match press conference.
Instead, he put away his smile.
He loudly emphasized to the players the defensive focus of this game.
"Right!"
"We must strengthen the defense of Manchester United's right wing!"
"Manchester United's No. 7's breakthrough on the right wing will be the biggest test we have to go through in this game!"
In the corner, Su Fei ate a banana silently.
He could understand Stuart's nervousness.
But if Ronaldo has really grown to the level of "Physically Edged Ronaldo" in advance.
Then it will be difficult for Manchester City to defend Ronaldo.
Or.
Throughout the history of football, there is absolutely no club that can completely restrict "Physically Edged Ronaldo"!
..........................................................
It was half past five in the evening.
At the Etihad Stadium, 55,097 fans filled the stadium, surging like an ocean.
The players of both teams were already standing in their respective halves.
A derby battle in the same city.
It was about to start.
On the court, Su Fei tied his shoelaces tighter again, raised his head, and saw Ronaldo's burning eyes.
Since the World Cup, Cristiano has gotten rid of his childishness, and fans no longer call him Little Ronaldo.
Instead, his name is shortened to Ronaldo.
Ronaldo smiled confidently, moved his lips, and did not make a sound, but Su Fei understood what Ronaldo was saying.
"Mr. Ballon d'Or."
Su Fei also smiled. It seemed that Ronaldo was very unhappy and unconvinced about winning the Ballon d'Or.
Both of them looked at each other with a smile.
However, the teammates around them all felt a clear smell of gunpowder.
Etihad Stadium commentary desk.
Our two familiar commentators, Zhan Jun and Wang Tao, have also debugged the equipment and notified the director to officially start the live broadcast.
"ESPN Sports Satellite TV!"
"ESPN Sports Satellite TV!"
"Welcome to watch the live broadcast of Manchester City vs. Manchester United in the 15th round of the 2006-07 Premier League!"
"I am the commentator Zhan Jun!"
"Hello, I am Wang Tao!"
"Today's game will definitely be exciting!"
"Manchester Derby!"
"The two teams met twice last season, and both ended with Manchester City winning."
"Especially the second match between the two teams last season."
"It can be said to be a classic battle recorded in the history of the Premier League, with Su Fei and Ronaldo performing hat tricks respectively!"
"In the end, Manchester City defeated Manchester United with Su Fei's last-minute long-range free kick!"
"This also gave birth to the scene of Ronaldo shedding tears of regret at the scene after the game."
"The game is about to start!"
"Let me introduce the lineups of both sides!"
