Manchester United are still familiar with their Europa League semi-final opponents, the yellow submarine, Villarreal, as the two sides have met twice and played four games. But that was in the Champions League, and it's been a long time ago. The first was in the group stage of the Champions League in 2005-06 and the second in the group stage of the Champions League in 2008-09. In the end, all four games were draws, and the scores were all 0:0!

Therefore, against this opponent, Manchester United is not at a disadvantage, let alone afraid.

However, Manchester United are not yet thinking about this opponent, because the first leg of the two sides is still half a month away.

Why is it half a month away, because during this period, Manchester United still have three games to play, namely two Premier League games and one FA Cup semi-final.

The most recent game was on Sunday afternoon, less than 72 hours after the second leg of the Europa League quarter-final against Borussia Dortmund, 65 hours to be exact, the Reds will host Aston Villa, opponents in the 34th round of the Premier League.

Despite the intense schedule, Louis van Gaal gave his players a half-day off on Friday to skip training in the morning, so that the players could sleep and regain their mental and physical strength.

At this time, Van Gaal didn't dare to toss the players, and the two games a week for nearly two months have made most of the players physically and mentally exhausted, and the Manchester United players have not had many injuries recently, which is already God's blessing.

However, such a good thing as sleeping in is too much luxury for Rashford, as he has to get up early in the morning to go to school.

In the past month or so, the team has a dense schedule, and he can actually go to school very little, basically only one or two days a week, and the rest of the time can only be self-study in the evening, which is a serious test for him who is about to face the college entrance examination.

………………

Many people don't understand Rashford's insistence on going to school, as his team-mate Barella has largely stopped going to school recently, even though the Uruguayan lad has largely not been in the first team recently and has returned to the reserves.

Among them is Rashford's personal assistant Catherine Gloria, who thinks that since Rashford has chosen the path of professional football, then he should devote himself to football, and there is no need to be distracted by going to school.

However, she can't help Rashford's insistence, after all, she is just one of his employees, and all she can do is to help Rashford as much as possible, for example, when he is going to school, drive him, and then drive him home after school, to help him save as much time as possible, and that's it.

When Catherine Gloria drove the Jaguar-XJ past the familiar and unfamiliar accounting firm, Rashford, who was sitting in the passenger seat, unexpectedly saw Lucia, who seemed to be still working at the accounting firm.

After Lucia went to look for him last time, Rashford was worried that she would continue to trouble him in the future, but he didn't expect that for more than a month, she would have died down and made no movement. This made Rashford feel greatly relieved, but also a little surprised.

………………

Although Catherine Gloria was driving, her attention was still on Rashford, she saw Rashford looking out of the car window, and then also noticed Lucia, and couldn't help laughing: "Do you regret it?" ”

Rashford was stunned for a moment and asked, "Regret, what regret?" ”

Catherine Gloria laughed, "Who else, isn't it the girl you just saw?" If you regret it, it's too late to chase it now. ”

Rashford shook his head with a smile and said, "Where do you want to go, Catherine, I have nothing to regret." It's just an acquaintance, so I just took a look at it when I first saw it. ”

Catherine grinned and said, "Just acquaintance?" I think I once loved, right? ”

Rashford smiled awkwardly, which he couldn't answer. He wouldn't say yes, because he himself had no feelings for Lucia; But if not, Rashford did like Lucia very much before, so he could only remain silent.

Catherine asked with some curiosity, "Marcus, let me ask you a question, have you ever liked that girl?" Well, if you find this question difficult, you can leave it alone. ”

Rashford smiled wryly and said, "I used to have. ”

Catherine was stunned, but she didn't expect Rashford to say this, and she asked, "Then why didn't you say yes when she came back to pursue you?" Is it because she once rejected you? Or are you famous now that you don't like her anymore? ”

Rashford shook his head and said, "Neither. ”

"Huh?" Catherine was stunned, she didn't expect Rashford to give such an answer.

Rashford smiled: "Catherine, if I say that I am not the same as I used to be, I have changed my soul, and I have also changed my worldview, outlook on life and values, do you believe it?" ”

Catherine pouted and said, "You haven't woken up yet, have you?" ”

Rashford smiled and said, "Then you think I have a better choice, and I don't like her." ”

Catherine glared at Rashford and said, "Sure enough, men don't have good things, they are all fickle!" ”

"Uh......" Rashford was speechless, and said in his heart, you women are the real fickle, and you mean that if you change your face, you will change your face.

………………

In this case, Rashford could only slander in his heart, and he immediately changed the subject: "By the way, Catherine, what did you think about what I said last time?" ”

"What's the matter?" Catherine didn't react for a moment.

Rashford laughed, "Let's make an appointment for a candlelit dinner, what I said that night." ”

As soon as Rashford said this, Catherine came back to her senses, she blushed and gave Rashford a white look, and said, "What do you think, I really want to buy my people and my heart!" ”

Rashford salivated and smiled, and said: "What's wrong with this, you see I'm so young and handsome, talented and gold-winning, a rich and handsome person, it's hard to find a lantern." ”

Catherine snorted and said, "I don't think I'll be embarrassed to brag about yourself like you, but it's really hard to find a lantern!" ”

Rashford covered his face with his hands and said, "Catherine, I am so sad that you say that! ”

Catherine gave Rashford a blank look and said, "Don't play tricks, school is here, get off!" "I want to talk about "British Emperor Star" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
