Chapter 167 Important game

"Dear viewers in front of the TV, today we are broadcasting the 2007-2008 season, the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the match between Rome, Italy, and Manchester United, England. There is still some time before the start of the game. Come on, let's introduce the home team Roma's roster."

"Today, Roma's captain Totti was absent due to injury. He was replaced by Vucinic. The goalkeeper was No. 32 Doni. The defenders were No. 22 Tonetto, No. 2 Panucci, No. 5 Mex, and No. 77. No. Cassetti, No. 30 Mancini Jr., No. 7 Pizarro, No. 8 Aquilani, No. 16 De Rossi, No. 11 Taddei, No. 9 Vucinic in the midfield. Field captain Panucci."

"This lineup is quite satisfactory, nothing out of the ordinary."

"It's very difficult for any team to win by surprise now, and with Roma's players there, Spalletti's options are not very large."

"Does that mean Manchester United have the same squad?"

Sure enough, these two guys guessed right, and Mr. Ferguson brought out his strongest lineup.

"No. 1 Van der Sar, No. 3 Evra, No. 5 Ferdinand, No. 15 Vidic, No. 6 Brown, No. 19 Nickel, No. 18 Scholes, No. 16 Carrick, No. 13 Park Ji-sung, No. 7 No. C-Rooney, No. 10 Rooney, wow, today Nicole was the captain of the field again."

Ferguson got ruthless today and sent two defensive midfielders at once, Carrick and Nickel, and Scholes may still have more defensive tasks.

"Today, Mr. Spalletti is going to have a headache. Mr. Ferguson has given him a difficult problem. This lineup is very obvious to defend and counterattack. Any team will have a headache."

Spalletti did have a headache, and it was far from his guess. Originally, he imagined that Roma would attack for a while after the opening, and then hand over the initiative to Manchester United, while Roma played the quick counterattack that the Italians are best at. , now it seems that Manchester United also has the same idea, and today Rome is home.

"Nicole, in addition to the necessary defense, your task today is to organize the offense and use long passes. The Italians will not let you dribble the ball smoothly. Passing is the magic weapon to break the opponent's defense."

"Yes, sir, I remember, pass the ball more, play the game."

"Paul, one of your tasks is to cover for Nicole, and the other is to defend. Be careful of Roma's Aquilani. I think he will be Roma's organizer today. Be careful."

"Michael, your task is not only to nail the front of the restricted area, but also to protect Nicole. If necessary, you complete Nicole's mission."

Carrick didn't say anything, but nodded heavily. The long-term injury gave him a good mentality exercise.

Before going on the field, Ferguson called Scholes, Carrick, and Nicole aside, arranged the tasks of the three, and of course established the position of Nicole's core organization.

"Now, we have to rely on you to play on the spot. You have already remembered the tactics you have formulated. There is nothing you can change at present. The opponent believes that everyone is familiar with it after watching the video during this period, and we have already used it many times. When you fight against them, you should know who your opponent is and how to deal with it."

After saying this, Spalletti looked at the team members inquiringly, seeing that the boys nodded, and then continued, "Then, next, you need to show courage and fight for our victory."

"Victory! Victory!"

"Guys, if I want to play again, it depends on you. I believe you can make my wish come true." Totti appeared in front of the Roma players in a suit. A way to motivate your teammates.

Today, the Olympic Stadium in Rome is full of seats. The fans of Rome can be said to be the most fanatical fan group among Italian fans. What Manchester United has brought to them in the past two years is sadness and loss. The riots among the fans have been eliminated, so the two teams can already be said to be enemies.

Just when the Roma fans vowed to let the Manchester United fans, the Roma police have mobilized almost all the police forces they can, with only one purpose, and that is to ensure the smooth completion of the game.

In the stands, there is a sea of ​​red, flags, snare drums, and the fans of Rome made a team flag that can almost cover a stand, passing each other around the stadium, and even some radical fans set off on the stands Fireworks were set off, setting off the atmosphere of the entire stadium to the extreme.

These things are not common for Manchester United players. In England, apart from the scarves that symbolize the team, fans can't bring in other things, and gradually formed the tradition of English fans using their voices as weapons.

The Manchester United fans surrounded by the police used their neat singing and applause to tell the Roma fans how to encourage the team.

The players from both sides have been fighting for a long time, but fortunately there was no disturbance. Now the court has become much quieter, and everyone is waiting for the start of the match.

At this time, the players from both sides, led by the referee and accompanied by the caddy, walked out of the player channel. Suddenly, some water was poured into the hot oil pan on the court, and a loud noise broke out quickly. The supporters on both sides started to fight again. contest.

Whenever the live radio announces the name of a Roma player, there are always countless Roma fans cheering to express their support. Of course, the Manchester United players received deafening boos. The number of Manchester United fans is too small. Not enough fans away against the home team.

As the captain, Nicole completed all kinds of tasks that a captain needs to complete, such as exchanging gifts, guessing coins, leading the team to take pictures, etc. Of course, he was a little jerky in doing these things, but he looked very calm. a big scene.

"Our captain Nicole looks pretty good, a bit like a captain." Mr. Morrison joked.

"Yes, Nicole's performance is getting better and better. I really admire Mr. Ferguson. At the same time, I am still thinking about the past, that is why Mr. Hoddle sold Nicole at the beginning, and it was almost at Tottenham. Giving up on Nicole completely."

"Come on, man, today is not a good time to look back at history, our mission is to broadcast the game."

The game is about to start, and Nichols gathered everyone together, "Guys, today is an important day. I have never played such an important game. I don't want to mess up the performance. Work hard and win!"

Nichol actually didn’t know what to say. Even though he had been Nicole for several years, he still had the illusion of being in a dream after experiencing such an important game. Before watching the game, he always saw the players gathered in a circle , encouraged each other, so today he also learned to come here once. Although Manchester United players haven’t done this for a long time, but Nickel is coming, and everyone has no objection. In England’s football culture, the captain on the field is very important. Authoritative.

When Nicole finished speaking, everyone yelled, "Work hard! Victory!"

Ferguson found out what the players did, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, obviously he supported Nickell's approach.

The referee from Belgium began to check the table, and the game was about to begin.

'Di! With a clear whistle, the game officially started, and at the same time, the stadium that had just quieted down burst into loud cheers again.
