heir to the red devil

Chapter 1111 Welcome Home
Hearing Rooney's emotional words, Neuer suddenly asked: "Wayne, when we enter the stadium tomorrow, will there be any Manchester United fans applauding for you? Will any Manchester United fans still miss you?"

Rooney was speechless for a while: "Maybe..."

Everyone doesn't know what Rooney's inner thoughts are, but everyone is very aware of Rooney's sad situation.

In modern international football, almost all players will experience transfers, departures, reunions, and encounters. Once the darling of a stadium, maybe in a blink of an eye, they will become outcasts of the stadium.This is a problem that all professional players will face, and no one can escape.

Before the game, the coaches of both sides held their own press conferences.Kintag and Heynckes expressed their thoughts at the same time.They were very cautious in their expressions and did not make too many predictions for this game.The reporters can see that both teams are very cautious about this game.

Two hours before the game, the head coaches of the two teams got the opponent's 18-man roster.

Bayern's lineup has hardly changed much from the previous game, but Manchester United's entry list surprised Heynckes a lot.

Several injured players of Manchester United have come back in this game at the same time!
In Manchester United's 18-man roster, Salah, Lewandowski and Nainggolan all appeared on the entry list, and Salah actually made his debut in this game!
Seeing such a change, Heynckes frowned.

This game looks like it's going to be in trouble...

With more than an hour before the game, players from both sides entered the stadium ahead of schedule to warm up before the game.

When Rooney walked into the Old Trafford stadium, he was greeted with thunderous applause from the audience!

Rooney stood in the middle of the court, his eyes seemed a little moist.

This applause...hasn't been heard for a long time...

At this time, at a conspicuous place in the North Stand, a fat man about ten years old was holding a wooden sign with a line written on it.

"Wayne, welcome home! But please don't score today, okay?"

Facing the thunderous applause from the audience, Rooney applauded the Manchester United fans in return, expressing his gratitude.

Even if they will boo him after the game starts later, but at this moment, he is still the favorite Lu Xiaopang in the hearts of Manchester United fans.

Several Bayern players on the side were very emotional.

Neuer sighed at the side: "Every time I go back to Schalke 04 now, the fans will boo me, specifically..."

And Hummels also shook his head again and again: "I made my debut at Bayern and moved to Dortmund; in the summer of the previous year, I transferred back to Bayern. Now every time I return to Dortmund's home court, I will hear a lot of boos..."

At this time Muller came over, and he said with pity: "You have so much experience, I am different from you. I have been in Bayern, from the youth team to the first team, and I have never known what it is like to transfer. .I don't know what it's like to be booed by former home team fans..."

Neuer and Hummels looked at each other.

"Captain, I suggest that the team change the vice-captain."

"I also think it makes sense. After the game, the two of us will have a private chat with Hai Shuai..."

It's not just Bayern players who feel Rooney's treatment, Kroos also feels bad.

When he returned to the Allianz Arena in the last game, Kroos did not have this kind of treatment.Although there were sporadic applause in the stands at the time, Cross clearly heard that the boos given to him in the stands were even louder.

And when he scored a Bayern goal in the last game, those boos reached their peak!
Now standing on the Old Trafford pitch, Kroos is very complicated.He loves and hates Bayern. This emotion is really indescribable...

The players were warming up on the court, and Kintag and Hai Shuai shook hands and talked on the sidelines.

"Haishuai, welcome to Old Trafford!"

"Tiger, this is also the last time I come to this stadium as the coach of Bayern. I hope today's game can leave me with pleasant memories."

"Hai Shuai, then I might spoil your interest. It is impossible to have pleasant memories, but I will definitely give you an unforgettable one."

"Haha, you little guy! Then let's see you on the field."

The players finished their warm-up and returned to their locker rooms.

In the dressing room of the visiting team, Heynckes had a serious expression: "Today's game, Manchester United's lineup has undergone a lot of changes. The main players who were injured before have all appeared on the squad today. Salah He even got the chance to start! From this point of view, we will encounter even greater trouble today."

"Especially our defense, we must do a good job of defending. Sane, who performed so well in the last game, actually sat on the bench today, which is enough to show the richness of Manchester United's lineup!"

"A few players on the offensive line, you may not get much help from the backcourt in this game. After all, their defensive tasks are heavier, so you need to strengthen your running, stretch the space as much as possible, and create opportunities for your teammates."

Hearing what Heynckes said, the Bayern players also looked serious. They knew that they would encounter many unimaginable difficulties in this game.

Robben whispered to Ribery: "Old man, we are all old, our speed is slowing down, and our physical strength is getting worse. It is already very good to be able to maintain the current state. In this game, we have to fight hard. "

Ribery also nodded: "Yes, young people are surging, and our careers are coming to an end. Our contract will expire next year, and there are not many opportunities to play such important games. I really hope that we can play in this important game." Win another Champions League trophy before retiring..."

In the locker room of the home team, Jin Taige also used the last time to explain the arrangement of the game to the players.

"In the last game we got a 3-3 draw and scored three away goals. This is good for us. If we can keep the draw at the end of this game, then we will be promoted. "

"But I want to remind you again, don't expect to keep a draw in this game! For this Bayern team, their offensive power is the best in the world! Under the attack of the Robery combination, it is extremely difficult for us to defend! In addition Wayne Rooney in good form, and the German core Muller, their offensive strength is very strong!"

"However, compared to their offense, their defense is a bit weaker. Boateng and Hummels turn slowly, which is a big problem; Alaba and Rafinha's defensive ability is only the top of the Bundesliga. That’s it, they are not the top three and top five full-backs in the world, so you still have a great chance to score goals!”

"So I have only one request for you in this game, and that is to strive for goals and win!"
