From the man behind the football king to the football king.

"I don't let you think about Paris Saint-Germain because it's still a long way to go before the second round of the game. We can't keep thinking about it and we can't keep facing the league with revenge in mind!"

"Of course, I know that many people will think of this game involuntarily." Mourinho said, "No one likes to lose, and no one will accept a crushing defeat calmly!"

The next moment, Mourinho raised his voice and said: "We are Manchester United! No matter what the situation is, no matter who the opponent is, we have the ability to win!"

The atmosphere in the locker room became heated and the hot emotions were spreading.

This is the importance of pre-war mobilization. People follow the crowd and will be influenced by those around them. Even players who previously believed that losing to a strong European top team like Paris Saint-Germain in the absence of captain Bruno was normal will be infected by this enthusiastic emotion at this moment.

It’s true that Paris Saint-Germain is currently one of the top teams in Europe!

However, this is not a reason for us to accept failure because we are Manchester United!

………………

"We can now think about the quarterfinals. No matter how our opponents perform in today's game, they can't stop us from reaching the quarterfinals!"

"Manchester United? They have created a miracle and won the Champions League for the past three years, something that even Real Madrid has not been able to do. This is enough to be recorded in the history of their club. But unfortunately, they have to say goodbye to their dream of winning four consecutive championships because they were eliminated by the powerful Paris Saint-Germain!"

"Our boys can go to Manchester for a trip in the second round. Although it is not as beautiful as Paris, there are still many places worth visiting!"

……

Mourinho took a stack of newspapers and read them one by one. His tone was flat and without any emotion.

"These are all reports from the Paris media, I didn't add a word," Mourinho said.

He looked at the crowd and saw the anger on the players' faces.

very good!

"Paris Saint-Germain said they have reached the final and they have started celebrating in advance." Mourinho shook his head and said, "I don't want to make any comments. I just want to tell you what I think. In this game, I will not deliberately emphasize revenge or talk about a comeback! But I will be very unconvinced and there is a fire in my chest!"

Mourinho pounded his chest hard and shouted: "This is our home ground. I will not allow Paris Saint-Germain to continue to show off their power here!"

"Manchester United has its own dignity! Anyone who dares to look down on Manchester United will pay a price they cannot afford!" Mourinho raised a pile of newspapers in his hand and threw them directly into the air. "For today's game, I have only one request: Fight! Fight! Fight!!! When the game is over, you can leave the stadium with your heads held high!"

"Go! Fight! Tell the proud Paris Saint-Germain people! Tell them! You are all men with courage! Tell them, this is Manchester United! This is our territory! Tell me your answer, are you men?" Mourinho pounded his chest hard.

"Yes!!"

Amid the roar, everyone stood up from their seats.

"I have talked about the tactics of this game many times! From the first second of the game, attack, fight, attack, fight! Think about your unwillingness and tears at the Parc des Princes. Now, with the fighting blood in your hearts, tell our fans, tell yourselves that you are warriors! Warriors!"

"Manchester United only has warriors who die standing, no cowards who raise their hands in surrender!" Mourinho roared hysterically, beating his chest hard!

His eyes were red and his expression could even be said to be a little ferocious.

"fighting!"

"fighting!"

The players yelled, waved their fists, and beat their chests. The locker room was so noisy that even the air seemed to be burning.

Assistant coach Faria looked at his watch and reminded the players that it was time to get ready to enter the field.

"Let's go!" Bruno raised his right arm, measured the captain's armband, and shouted, "Fight!"

"Go, fight! Go, fight! Fight!" Mourinho opened the door of the locker room and roared almost madly. He high-fived every player who passed by him, spoke loudly to encourage them. Everyone held their heads high and rushed out in a hurry!

The atmosphere in the locker room was so hot that they now felt that only by starting the game quickly, the fire in their hearts could be released!

"That's great! I've never seen you like this." Faria said with the same excited expression as he looked at the players rushing out of the locker room.

"I just said what was in everyone's heart and aroused their unwillingness and fighting spirit." Mourinho said with a hoarse voice.

"No, only you can convince them and make them willing to fight!" Faria said.

He doesn't think he's flattering, that's the truth.

"Let's go." Mourinho clapped his hands and said.

He has prepared so much for this game, and now is the moment to witness it.

"I'm curious, why haven't you mentioned victory or comeback?" Faria finally expressed his doubts. Is it because he realizes that the score gap is too huge, so he won't say such things?

"When facing a strong opponent, don't deliberately emphasize the opponent's strength, and don't shout for revenge. That will only remind the players of the opponent's strength and their past failures." Mourinho said as he walked, "Now, what we have to do is fight! As for the result..."

Mourinho paused and said contemptuously: "As long as you fight hard, does the result matter?"

Results matter!

Mourinho said this in his heart, but he couldn't say it out loud. As he had just said to Faria, emphasizing revenge and comebacks would only make the players subconsciously think, can we do it?

This will form a psychological suggestion and cool their passion.

Therefore, Mourinho chose the most direct and simple way: don’t talk about the results, just cheer for the team!

The starting lineups of both teams have been displayed on the big screen in the stadium.

Paris Saint-Germain starting lineup (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Navas;

Defense: Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, 16-Kurzawa;

Midfield: Gueye, Paredes, Verratti;

Forward line: Draxler, Icardi, Martial;

"Compared with the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain only made one adjustment, that is, Draxler replaced Keane, and the other ten players were all starters in the first leg." Martin Taylor said.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"With a 4:1 victory in the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain can be said to have advanced in advance, but Pochettino still remained cautious enough and sent out the full main lineup. From this we can also see that Manchester United's three consecutive Champions League titles have made the whole world jealous." said Andy Gray.

He was not wrong. Although many people and the media felt that Paris Saint-Germain thought the second round was just a formality, Pochettino, who has been in the Premier League for a long time, has a deep understanding of Manchester United's strength. In the second round, he still sent out his best players and obviously did not intend to give Manchester United any chance.

Manchester United lineup (433):

Goalkeeper: David de Gea

Defense: Cancelo, Maguire, Van Dijk, Luke Shaw;

Midfield: Kante, Gundogan, Bruno;

Forwards: Mbappe, 2 Harry Kane, Rashford;

………………

Mourinho shook hands with Paris Saint-Germain coach Pochettino. The two shook hands in a formal manner, and even the greetings were the simplest: "I hope this will be a wonderful game."

Although the two have faced each other in the Premier League for many years, they have no personal relationship.

"Paris Saint-Germain is very cautious," said Faria.

Mourinho nodded. Paris Saint-Germain sent out its strongest lineup. The only personnel adjustment was to replace the young player Keane with the original main player Draxler.

Mourinho looked at Pochettino with some surprise, thinking that this kid is pretty good. With such a big advantage in the first round, he didn't even get carried away for a moment?

The referee Brüch blew the whistle to start the game.

Paris Saint-Germain kicked off, Icardi passed the ball kicked by Martial back to Draxler, and then the two ran forward.

Draxler seemed very excited. He pretended to pass the ball back to Paredes, but he dribbled the ball and rushed forward directly.

This caused even louder boos from the stands, and it was clear that Draxler's move was interpreted as a disrespect for Manchester United.

Draxler used the change in speed to pass Gundogan, and then continued to move forward, but the next second Draxler was tackled to the ground by Rashford.

The referee Brüch blew the whistle and Manchester United committed a foul!

Draxler watched Rashford running back without even looking at him, and could only get up in disappointment.

………………

Paris Saint-Germain's free kick, Paredes lifted the ball to the front court, Van Dijk squeezed Icardi aside and headed the ball out.

Verratti hooked the ball back before Luke Shaw, then he pulled the ball and turned around to look for his teammates, but Kante rushed up and knocked Verratti away.

Verratti was indeed very skilled with his feet. Even as he staggered after being hit, he still stretched out his legs, pulled the ball back, and with a pull of his feet, he avoided Kante's next step of pressing.

Paris Saint-Germain fans in front of the TV applauded and cheered for Verratti's beautiful skills.

It was not enough, Verratti continued to perform a trick, he jumped up the ball and pretended to turn around, but he used a movement similar to a scorpion's tail and passed the ball... to Gundogan!

Gundogan accurately predicted Verratti's actions, then suddenly rushed forward and completed the steal on the passing route!
