In the visiting team's locker room, the Manchester United players were chatting. It wasn't until Ferguson walked in that everyone became quiet.
Ferguson looked at the players. He did not lay out game tactics, but sat across from them and started chatting.
"Boys, this season's Champions League was not going well for us. Especially after entering the knockout rounds, we repeatedly encountered strong opponents, whether Real Madrid or AC Milan, which caused us a lot of trouble. However, we all resisted. !”
"Now our opponent is Monaco. As long as we win two more games, we will be able to return to the Champions League final. No matter whether we meet Barcelona or Inter Milan, we will be able to compete with them!"
"Our opponent Monaco in this game, well, if I say they are very strong, it is really not appropriate, but they are definitely not weak! Especially Beckham, he was once one of us, and his passing is what you see You know, it’s definitely a top-notch existence.”
"There is also Hildebrand, one of the best goalkeepers in the world, the fast horse Saviola, the old Arsenal players Flamini and Ljungberg, and their defense combination of Ujfalucci and Kompany. , these players are top players in Europe, you have to pay attention."
"Boys, I don't want to say more about the tactics of this game. I hope you can uphold Manchester United's fine tradition and successfully win the first round! For the next second round and the league championship, Be prepared! Come on!"
At the same time, in the home team's locker room, Yun Sheng did not discuss tactical arrangements with the players.
"Guys, our opponent in this game is Manchester United. Well, how should I put it? They are definitely one of the top teams in European football! And they are in excellent shape now! Although Ronaldo is missing this season, The team's playing style and tactics are still solid, especially the performance of several veteran midfielders, which are getting better and better as they get older."
"There is also their defense line. I personally think it is the best defensive combination in European football at present, bar none! Even Huang Saren's defense line is not as good as them! So in this game, we were hindered on the offensive end. , even more than the defensive end."
"Recoba, Saviola, Gudjohnsen, you were all players of the top European clubs, and you all have had countless honors. Your strength is top-notch! I only ask one thing from you for this game. Just don’t rush and be patient in looking for their loopholes! There are no tactical flaws in this line of defense, but tigers will also take a nap. As long as you keep an eye on them, you will definitely find opportunities!”
"And Flamini and Beckham, you must restrain Manchester United's midfielders. Giggs and Scholes are still the top midfielders in Europe. Carrick, Park Ji-sung, Hargreave These guys cannot be underestimated, you must use all your strength to see them to death and not give them a chance to advance."
"As for captain Uyfalusi, you have to lead the defense and defend well. The combination of Rooney and Owen, one has strong impact and the other is fast. The two complement each other and work well together."
"Our first priority in this game is defense. At least we can't lose at home! If we give the opponent too many away goals, it will be troublesome in the second round. Come on guys, I believe you won't let it go. The fans are disappointed!”
"Hello, audience friends, before the game starts, let me introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. Today Monaco is still in a 4-3-3 formation: goalkeeper Hildebrand, defenders from left to right are Hai Inze, Kompany, Ujfalusi and Sun Jihai, the three midfielders from back to front are Flamini, Beckham and Ljungberg, and the forwards are Gudjohnsen, Recoba and Sa Viola. And on the bench, there are also young rookies such as Senderos, Gervinho, Wang Chuhe, Dong Fangzhuo."
"On Manchester United's side, they still use the traditional 4-4-2 formation. The old Dutch goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar still guards the goal; the four defenders are Evra, Ferdinand, Vidic and Gary Neville. This defense line It is definitely one of the top in Europe; the midfielder Carrick and Scholes are in the middle, Giggs and Nani are on the left and right; the forward is the double partner of Rooney and Owen for the national team and club. On the bench, there are still Players such as Hargreaves, Berbatov, Rafael, Valencia, Park Ji-sung, etc., these people are also top players."
"Judging from the player cards of both sides, Manchester United obviously has the advantage, but after all, football games are not just talks on paper. The final result of the game depends on the players' on-the-spot performance."
"The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!"
"Manchester United took the lead in the first half! Scholes and Carrick controlled the ball continuously in the middle! They distributed the ball to Giggs on the left!"
"Giggs shook off Ljungberg who came forward, and he suddenly moved forward with the ball!"
"Although the Welsh star is now 37 years old and his speed is not as fast as before, his level is still among the best in the world, and his playing style on the wing is also smarter."
"Giggs attracted the attention of three Monaco defenders! He knocked the ball back into the middle!"
"Scholes passed the ball diagonally to Rooney! Rooney's blast from outside the penalty area!"
"The ball was blocked by Hildebrand's fists!"
Seeing the ball fly out of the baseline, Hildebrand shook his numb wrist.
The shot is very powerful...
This England forward, who is only 24 years old this year, can be said to be the star of the England team now. Despite his young age, he is already a veteran of the Premier League and has participated in several World Cups and European Cups. Since Ronaldo left Manchester United, he has taken up the offensive banner of Manchester United.
In just the third minute, Rooney used a blast to threaten the goal guarded by Hildebrand.
Manchester United's first wave of offense had just ended, and their second wave of offense began.
This was actually a Monaco counterattack. After Hildebrand defended a corner kick, he launched a hand throw attack.
The ball fell at the feet of Beckham. Beckham passed the ball 40 meters through the ball. The ball found Gudjohnsen who quickly broke in from the left wing.
The Icelandic striker kept shaking, trying to break through Gary Neville's defense, but he had just cut inside and escaped from the defensive range of Manchester United's No. 2, and was instantly tackled by Vidic who was rushing forward!
"Gudjohnsen was tackled to the ground by Vidic! But the ball was not a foul. It was a good defense!"
"Vidic passed the ball to Carrick, and Carrick suddenly made a long overhead pass! Owen quickly stepped in!"
"Irving, who has been famous for a long time, seems to have been working hard in international football for a long time, but in fact he is only 30 years old this year! Although his absolute speed is not as fast as when he was young, his dexterity is still the same!"
"One-on-one, this is a great opportunity!"
