Chapter 858 The Game Begins

Chapter 211 The Game Begins

On the day of the game, Old Trafford was full of voices.

The Manchester United fans made full preparations before the game. They prepared many cheering slogans with great interest. For this game, Manchester United fans have long been looking forward to it.

There are not many European media who are optimistic about Juventus, because in terms of the status of both sides, Manchester United is playing at home, and they have just won the key battle for the league championship. The defending Premier League champions, coupled with the League Cup and FA Cup they have won before, Manchester United this season is very hopeful to win the league treble.

In this case, Manchester United can slightly shift their focus to the Champions League. In this game, Manchester United has the strength at home and also holds two away goals. It can be said that they are full of confidence.

At this time, the players of Manchester United were standing in the player tunnel full of energy and waiting for the game to start, while the players of Juventus looked a little dignified. It seems that in the pre-match training speech, Allegri may have said a little too much. This made the Juventus players feel the pressure.

The pressure also came from the stands. More than 7 fans cheered when both sides entered the stadium, and the scene was loud and loud!
It is not unreasonable for Manchester United to be favored by all parties. Judging from the demeanor of both sides, Manchester United players have obvious self-confidence and temperament above their opponents.

Li Qingshan put on the captain's armband, he stood at the front of the team, next to him was Juventus captain Buffon.

Goalkeeper and striker!
The two captains are also players who communicate directly on the field.

When the referee led the players from both sides out of the stadium, Manchester United fans slowly pulled up a huge screen in the stands opposite the player tunnel.

A vivid image of a red kid holding a steel fork appeared on the court.

There are not many times when Manchester United fans engage in such tricks. They use this method to create pressure on Juventus and at the same time make Manchester United players feel supported.

Welcome to Dream Theater! !

The players of Manchester United stand with their chests high and stand in the stadium waiting for the game to start!
"Viewers!! Welcome to Old Trafford!!!"

Perhaps because there were too many focused games recently, Duan Xuan simply stayed in Manchester and did not return to China. He also explained this game from the commentary booth at the scene.

"In the 2016-2017 season, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals will be staged here!! In the first round, Manchester United drew with Juventus [-]-[-] away. Juventus with [-] away goals can be said to be a last stand, if they can beat Manchester United, they will advance, and if they draw - they better ensure that their goals are greater than two!"

Whether it can reach the semi-finals depends on how Juventus will perform today.

"In this game, both sides have deployed an absolute main lineup. For the home team Manchester United, the starting goalkeeper for this game is De Gea, and the central defender combination is Hummels with Eric Bailly who is very aggressive. , right back Valencia, left back Alex Sandro, midfielder Herrera, Kramer, and Pogba! The left and right are Mata, and Di Maria, who has returned from injury , the top center forward is Li Qingshan!"

"And here at Juventus, the starting lineup has not changed since the last time the two sides met. Buffon in goal, Bonucci and Chiellini in centre-back, Alves on the right, Leahy on the left. Steiner, Khedira and Pjanic in the midfield, Mandzukic, Dybala, and Cuadrado in the front line, and Higuain in the forward. Of course, this is the event According to the formation chart given by the broadcast official, Juventus's formation is still 4231, but there is news before the game that Allegri will change formation in this game, Mandzukic will be pushed to the front line, and Higua Due to the formation of a double striker configuration, the left and right sides are Dybala and Cuadrado, and these two people form two wing assault combinations with speed and breakthrough ability."

"In the end, what formation Juventus will play in the game and what kind of medicine is sold in Allegri's gourd, we still have to observe through the game."

At this time, the camera was shown to the coaches of both sides. Unlike Ancelotti, who was sitting on the coaching bench and talking to the kombu players, Allegri was standing on the sidelines from the beginning, and the TV camera gave him a close-up. The expressionless Allegri looked into the distance, and indeed no one knew what the Italian coach was thinking.

For Allegri, this game is indeed very difficult.

Juventus had established an advantage at the beginning of the first round, but it was based on its own home court, and when Manchester United dominated the offense, Allegri caught Manchester United by surprise.

In the second round of the match between the two sides, these conditions no longer exist.

Juventus must attack, and Manchester United, with two away goals in hand, has more choices.

They can come back to solidify their defense and wait for an opportunity to counterattack. They can also use their home strength to control the rhythm of the game and deal with Juventus. It will not be surprising that Manchester United chooses to play against Juventus against Allegri—— Because Li Qingshan's state is really good, almost no one has seen Li Qingshan's trough again this season.

This is an all-weather shooter with no dead ends!
Li Qingshan stood in the middle circle and performed the side-picking ceremony before the match.

The referee tossed the coin and in the end Buffon won the toss and Manchester United won the kick-off.

Li Qingshan didn't care about whether he could choose a side first. The goal environment on both sides of Old Trafford was almost the same, and there was actually no difference between them.

The visiting team's stand is in the corner behind the goal, far away from the goal, and the stands behind the goal are full of Manchester United fans.

No matter which side you choose, the stands behind you are your own supporters, so it doesn't matter whether you choose or not.

Li Qingshan actually prefers the kick-off, because momentum is very important at the beginning of the game.If you can make good use of the kick-off opportunity to play momentum, this will undoubtedly be a good start for the next game.

After the side selection ceremony, Li Qingshan shook hands with the members of the referee team, and then shook hands with Buffon and hugged.

For this veteran, Li Qingshan respects him very much.

But respect is all respect, this does not mean that Li Qingshan will show mercy in the competition.

Eliminating Juventus and advancing to the semi-finals is Manchester United's only goal in this game! ! !
After the players of both sides settled in their respective positions, the referee checked the time with the fourth official on the sidelines, and then the whistle sounded!

The game officially begins!
