Chapter 337 Challenge Manchester United
"Inter Milan."

Manchester, England, outside the training ground of the Carrington training base, Keegan, a reporter from the British "Daily Mail", stood there in a daze, squinting at the Manchester United players who were training.

He is a veteran reporter of the "Daily Mail". He has been following and reporting Manchester United for many years. Along the way, he has also established a good personal relationship with most of the players and Ferguson.

In the past game, Manchester United was in good form, winning two consecutive league victories and continuing to maintain their lead over Chelsea.Domestic Yiqijuechen can't satisfy Ferguson's appetite. After being eliminated by Bayern at Old Trafford last season, Ferguson has been brooding, wanting to regain the top and challenge the Cosmos team led by Guardiola.

The lottery this time was quite unlucky, and it was drawn together with last season's Champions League champion.If it's Inter Milan in the first half of the season, it's okay to say that in the second half of the season, Inter Milan's state has improved significantly after the coaching change, and they have achieved quite good results in domestic two-line combat.

Facing a veteran giant, and a revived veteran giant, Keegan felt that even Ferguson would find it difficult.

Judging from the training status of the players, they are full of confidence in the upcoming game, and all of them have relaxed expressions.Inter Milan and Manchester United met in the top 08 of the Champions League in the 09/16 season. At that time, the two teams drew 0:0 in the first round and Manchester United won 2:0 in the second round.

At that time, Inter Milan also had Ibrahimovic, the crippled Adelaide, the born Thornton and Balotelli, and the most special one.Now things are different, and Inter Milan's personnel have undergone substantial adjustments, as have Manchester United.

Their head star Cristiano Ronaldo left Madrid, which was a pretty heavy blow to Ferguson.

At that time, Ronaldo had a deep conflict with the England star Rooney in the team, and most fans supported the local star, which hurt Ronaldo's heart.More importantly, he himself had the willingness to leave, and Manchester United's finances were not well off at the time.

Ferguson once thought that if Ronaldo does not leave, Manchester United has a great possibility to complete the defense in the 08/09 season. Even if the opponent is Guardiola's Barcelona, ​​he will not think that Manchester United will lose. Unfortunately, this is all in the past tense.

Facing Inter Milan this time, Ferguson also made full preparations and waited for the opponent's arrival.

Inter Milan's plane landed at the third terminal of Manchester Airport in Manchester, and Inter Milan players filed out.Caesar walked among his teammates in an Armani suit.

"Coach Leonardo! Please talk about the goal of this game!"

The media, who were blocked in front of Inter Milan's bus parked at the A13 exit of the airport, all held up their cameras and microphones, throwing questions to Inter Milan's players one by one.

Leonardo paused and replied: "Do your best to score away goals."

This answer is very humble, but also realistic.After all, the Champions League game is a two-round affair. Even if the opponent is defeated 4:1 in the first round, it is possible to be overturned.

In the first round, for all away teams, it is the most important thing to try their best to score away goals.Even if the game is lost, as long as they hold an away goal and return to the home court, they have a great possibility of coming back.

But this answer made the media reporters not very satisfied. What you said is so pertinent, how can we create a topic.

Materazzi came out, seeing this "big mouth", all the reporters' eyes lit up, and they gathered around him one after another.

"Materazzi, who do you think has a better chance of winning between Manchester United and Inter Milan? Will you appear in the game?"

Materazzi shrugged: "It depends on the coach's arrangement. Moreover, facing a team of Manchester United's level, it is difficult for you to say that you are sure of winning. We can only do our best."

Tsk, this answer is too unlike what Materazzi said, right?

Did this big mouth switch sex?Are you starting to keep a low profile?

The Inter Milan players didn't express too many opinions on the game, they all walked into the bus in a low-key manner, and finally walked away.

The reporters didn't catch any meaningful news, so they had to make up their own.

The "Sun" released news that Inter Milan and his party are very cautious and are likely to adopt a conservative stance for the game.

The relatively reliable "Daily Mail" said that Inter Milan used silence to cover up the team's lack of confidence. Although they have been in good form recently, facing Manchester United, Inter Milan has fallen a lot in terms of strength and status. This game should be the first goal of scoring away goals.

Under the collective bad-mouthing of the British media, Inter Milan is preparing for the battle in an orderly manner.

They guessed right, Leonardo really wanted to use the defense to keep Manchester United's offense out of the goal as much as possible, and then use the speed of Caesar and Biabiani to harass Manchester United's defense.

In the past two days, they have been practicing defensive and counterattack tactics until every player has the tactics in their minds, and the game is about to start.

The old acquaintances of the fans, Martin Taylor and Andy Gray, were still explaining the game. In the studio, they talked freely.

"United are determined to save face at Waterloo last season and will definitely give it their all in this game."

"But Inter Milan is in good shape recently, can Manchester United get what they want?"

"That depends on Sir Alex Ferguson's arrangements. You know, if it weren't for Robben's flying fairy and the dispensable red card in the Champions League last season, Manchester United would have completed the reversal of 'three goals in the half'. Sir Alex Ferguson's tactical arrangements are always unpredictable. Let's see what adjustments he will make today."

At this time, the sound of the Old Trafford stadium suddenly became louder, and the players entered the field.

Caesar walked at the back, looking up at the great stadium.Here, countless miracles and superstars were born, among which he is most familiar with the second round of the 02/03 quarterfinals.

Ronaldo scored a hat-trick in Manchester United's 4-3 win over Real Madrid at home to a standing ovation from the entire crowd.And Beckham, who had deep conflicts with Ferguson, came off the bench and scored twice.

This is a game like sparks hitting the earth, with superstars from all walks of life, all kinds of wonderful goals, Beckham's farewell performance, and Ronaldo's shocking performance.

Maybe, like Ronaldo, I can leave an amazing mark here.

Seeing the Manchester United players shaking hands one by one, Caesar was full of fighting spirit.

"Okay! The game begins! Manchester United will attack first!"

In this game, Manchester United sent a striker combination of Rooney and Berbatov Garnani, which gave Inter Milan a big blow as soon as they came up.

The ball passed directly from the backcourt to the top of Berbatov's head, and the "weakened version" Ibrahimovic gave the ball to Nani on the right. Facing Caesar's return defense, Nani decisively cut inside and kicked a pass.

The ball brushed the hair from the tops of Beiba and Lucio. Just when everyone in Inter Milan thought that the ball would fly out of the baseline, Rooney suddenly turned out and shot the ball towards the goal.

It's a pity that the angle was too small and the ball hit the side netting.

Leonardo, who was standing on the sidelines, shuddered for no reason. It seemed that this game was not easy to play.
