Manchester United, as in training, formed a 4-3-3 formation.

The goalkeeper is Edwin van der Sar.

On the back line, Wes Brown and Heinze partnered at the center back, and O'Shea and Evra separated the two backs.

In midfield, Scholes, Carrick and Sun Qi teamed up together.

In the frontcourt, Ronaldo, Rooney, and Giggs started the game.

This is Sun Qi's first appearance in the UEFA Champions League.

As for the AC Milan team, coach Ancelotti has formed the best 4-4-1-1 formation.

The goalkeeper is Dida.

On the back line, Nesta and veteran Maldini played central defenders, while Odo and Jankulovski played both flanks.

The midfield is Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, and Seedorf.

Front midfielder Kaka, single arrow Gilardino.

The record between Manchester United and AC Milan is not dominant. AC Milan can be regarded as Manchester United's sufferer.

In the European war, Manchester United and AC Milan have encountered three times, but Manchester United have not been able to pass all of them.

Because of this past, coach Ferguson is eager to win AC Milan and break the curse like this.

This season, Manchester United has rarely entered the semi-finals of the Champions League. Ferguson naturally hopes to go one step further and win the Champions League trophy that has not been touched for many years.

Moreover, Ferguson also cares about the record comparison with the rival Liverpool.

Manchester United, although the number of championships won in the Premier League, is far higher than that of Liverpool.

However, in the European war, Manchester United's overall performance is still slightly inferior.

This made Ferguson extremely unwilling.

Only when the results in the European war are also ahead of rival Liverpool, Ferguson, and Manchester United can completely overwhelm Liverpool.

In order to achieve this goal, Ferguson attached great importance to this game.

If the first round at home is well played, they will be more confident in the second round away.

In this game, Sun Qi started, very excited, but not nervous.

Looking at the superstars on the opposite side, especially Kaka, the proud defender, and Nesta, the elegant defender, Sun Qi wanted to fight them well.

At the beginning of the game, the two sides continued to test and fight in the midfield, slowly gained a firm foothold, and began a formal duel.

AC Milan got the ball, Pirlo gave it to Seedorf, Seedorf passed back to Gattuso, and Gattuso passed it to Ambrosini.

It's just that Gattuso's pass was a bit light. Sun Qi, who had been staring at him for a long time, suddenly accelerated forward and intercepted the ball halfway.

After a bit of adjustment, Sun Qi picked a pass directly and gave the ball to Rooney who had tacitly entered the penalty area.

Unfortunately, Rooney volleyed with his right foot and hit Nesta, who flew over to defend, and popped off the crossbar.

Such a change made the AC Milan team startled, and quickly defended with all their strength.

Manchester United's corner kick was taken by captain Ryan Giggs.

After looking at the people who were constantly grabbing positions in the penalty area, Giggs' corner kick was accurately given to Ronaldo in the penalty area.

Facing this ball, Ronaldo jumped high and headed the goal vigorously.

However, AC Milan goalkeeper Dida's reaction was super fast, and he blocked the ball with his hand.

However, due to the unstable center of gravity, Dida's movements were somewhat deformed, and he was unable to block the ball from the baseline, and it was still near the goal.

At this time, he noticed this opportunity, and Ronaldo, who followed up, grabbed the header again before Gilardino, and completely pushed the ball into Milan's goal.

The referee blew the whistle and the goal was valid. Manchester United took the lead at the start, leading AC Milan [-]-[-].

Taking the lead at the beginning, Manchester United continued to attack AC Milan.

Carrick passed the ball to Sun Qi, Sun Qi passed it back to Scholes, ran to the other side, received the pass from Scholes, and passed it back to Carrick.

The continuous passing between the three successfully bypassed Seedorf, Gilardino, and Kaka's pressing.

Before Ambrosini ran to help defend, Carrick suddenly kicked a long pass and gave the ball to Rooney who pulled the ball to the right of the frontcourt.

Facing Jankulovski's defense, Rooney moved forward and passed the ball to Sun Qi who was responding.

Sun Qi didn't stick to the ball either, and immediately passed it to Ronaldo next to him.

Facing the defense of Oddo, Nesta, and Gattuso, Ronaldo, who was more confident after scoring the goal, shot a low shot directly outside the penalty area.

It's a pity that Ronaldo's shot, although sudden and fast, failed to hit the goal and went directly wide of the near corner of the goal.

The game continued, AC Milan kicked off again, and after passing through the midfield, AC Milan's midfield commander Pirlo gave the ball to the left back Jankulovski who was plugged in for an assist.

Jankulovski didn't bring too much, but gave Kaka in the frontcourt again.

This time, after Kaka got the ball, he started quickly, trying to use his signature moves to force Sun Qi.

However, Sun Qi had already turned around neatly, got stuck in the position first, and successfully stopped Kaka in front of him, the ball was beyond his reach.

Carrick, who was helping to defend, successfully got the ball and made a long pass directly to the left side of the front field.

It was Rooney who got the ball smoothly again. Using his speed and explosive power, he suddenly accelerated and knocked Otto, who was over [-] years old, and continued to hit the bottom.

When Odo caught up again, Rooney stopped abruptly, and after shaking Odo away, he made a smooth pass.

In the penalty area, Ronaldo grabbed the ball before Maldini.

However, Ronaldo's bouncing ball was not strong enough and was confiscated by Dida, who reacted super fast.

Dida didn't delay either. After getting up quickly, with a big foot, he drove the ball to the frontcourt.

There, Gilardino competed with Manchester United defender Heinze for the top. Using his height advantage, he successfully won the ball and gave it to Kaka who was following behind.

Kaka started instantly, using a powerful explosive force, he bypassed Scholes at once.

However, Sun Qi quickly entangled him.

Compared with Kaka Xiang, Sun Qi's skills are inferior.

However, in terms of physical fitness, strength and speed, Sun Qi is even more dominant.

This time, during the fight with Kaka, when Kaka changed direction at a high speed and wanted to force him, Sun Qi made a sudden effort on the tip of his left foot, turned around, and continued to follow Kaka, fighting In the middle of the grab, he bumped with his shoulder and knocked away Kaka who was caught off guard. He successfully grabbed the ball and passed it directly to the left back Evra.
