At the press conference the day before the game, Valverde appeared in front of everyone with captain Andres Iniesta.

Magic Bird and Li Liang stood up to greet the two, and Li Liang's decent Spanish immediately caught the attention of Iniesta, who was dubbed "Xiaobai" by Chinese fans.

Xiaobai asked in surprise: "Li, it sounds like you have lived in Spain for a long time!" ”

Magic Bird explained with a smile, "Lee knew Portuguese (similar to Spanish) before he joined us, and then he spent time with David, Andre, Juan, and Sergio every day, and quickly mastered their language. ”

Valverde answered the question first: "...... We're in good shape and everybody is ready.

Moussa (Dembele)?

He's in great form as well and we'll decide on the starting line-up based on what we need and the form of the players. ”

Next up is Xiaobai: "We all love Manchester United this season.

José has done an outstanding job and they look brand new.

…… I don't think Manchester United are Lee alone, don't forget that they have Paul, Romelu, Alexis and of course David and Andrew, Juan and other great players! ”

A reporter asked: "So who do you think in Manchester United can play at Barcelona now?" ”

Xiaobai thought for a while and replied: "You can't simply assume that we have a very different tactical style of play from Manchester United, so we will allocate personnel according to our own style."

But I believe Lee has the ability to adapt to a variety of playstyles......"

The first question the Magic Bird faced was about the little monster, to which the Portuguese replied: "Romelu has returned to training, he will have another test tomorrow, after which we will make a specific decision." ”

Another reporter asked: "From the first game of the previous 1/4 final against Manchester City, it was clear that you were trying to change your style.

Is this specifically for Barcelona? ”

Magic Bird pouted exaggeratedly: "When you have more and more players who can control the ball at your feet, the team's tactical play and style will naturally change.

Lee, Paul, Alexis and Romelu all have great skills on their feet, so the changes you see are very natural. ”

Finally, it was Li Liang's turn, and the first reporter asked directly: "People see tomorrow's game as your Leo's contest, are you ready?" ”

Li Liang: "I agree with Andres just now, football is not a competition between individuals, but more needs the overall cooperation and everyone's hard work. ”

Another reporter asked: "When you were in Monaco, you used to face to face with Cristiano——

You become the winner.

So what do you think of the comparison between Leo and Cristiano? ”

Li Liang became serious: "Yes, luckily, we won the game in Cardiff.

This does not negate the greatness of Cristiano.

He and Leo are two of the best in the world, and they're both my idols—

This has been, is, and will be. ”

……

After the press conference, He Wei and Xue Yang sent back to the scene to report that the Barcelona bus had come to the outside of the Old Tford stadium to prepare for the pre-game stamping.

A large number of fans gathered at the scene, and when Messi appeared on camera, everyone cheered in unison, and the Argentine star smiled and waved and then signed autographs and photos with the fans in a friendly manner.

He Wei was amazed: "This is the charm of the world's number one star, in the eyes of many people, Messi is equal to football!" ”

Xue Yang said with a smile: "In fact, before the draw for the semi-finals, although I hope that Li Liang and his teammates would better not meet Barcelona or Real Madrid, the ideal is to play Liverpool."

But in fact, I would rather be able to draw Real Madrid -

I believe that many fans, like me, are secretly looking forward to the two-legged showdown between Manchester United's new and old No.7! ”

He Wei also laughed: "If this is the case, Ronaldo will definitely receive a warmer welcome when he returns to Old Trafford!"

Okay, let's get back to tomorrow's game.

Now that the whole Barcelona team has entered Old Trafford, the training on the field is not public, so we can only continue to see them tomorrow and see Messi! ”

……

At the Haicheng Ten Thousand Stadium on the day of the game, Xiaoli was watching the layout of the scene.

Even though there were almost 10 hours to go, everything was already set up in the stadium.

Field technicians are debugging the large screen that has just been assembled.

The official promotional video for the Champions League semi-finals was played, and the picture began with Li Liang's wonderful goal at the Etihad.

Messi appears on camera: "I heard about Lee last season and then he went to Camp Nou with Radamel to watch our game, and that was the first time we met. ”

The picture turned to the wonderful picture of Barcelona's 6:1 home reversal in Paris.

Switching back to Messi: "It's a pity that we didn't have the opportunity to meet on the pitch until now......

I guess that's going to be fun.

Lee is a great guy and I like his attitude towards the game.

Any team with Lee is going to be extremely threatening, and I think it's going to be two very tough games.

Of course, it will be very exciting! ”

In the advertising agency where Li Liang used to work, the boss was concentrating on the computer screen in his office.

Messi is seen looking back at the 2009 Champions League final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome: "The previous season, Manchester United won the Champions League......

But it was a really painful memory for us, and it was the final that Manchester United made after knocking us out!

Fortunately, we got a chance for revenge, and we took it! ”

The picture is the scene of the 2009 Champions League final, and the hands of the old man Ferguson are shaking in the close-up.

Messi scored with a header and Barcelona eventually beat Manchester United 2-0 to win the St. Bride Cup.

Mr. Wu was the first to step out of the hotel elevator and was immediately attracted by the TV picture in the hotel lobby.

Everyone came out of the elevator one after another, surrounded by Mr. Wu and watched quietly in the lobby, the audience was not only them, but there were many people around.

Facing the camera, Li Liang said: "At that time, I was still a spectator, staying up late with my college roommates to watch that game.

I remember Leo scoring a beautiful header......

Barcelona is one of the greatest football clubs in the world, and Leo is also one of the greatest stars of our time.

In a sense, he is the flag and symbol of Barça.

I've been looking forward to—"

After watching the video, everyone walked out of the hotel, and the streets were lined with posters, slogans and posters related to the competition.

The red Manchester United number 7 is undoubtedly the most conspicuous of all.

……

Outside the Lowry Hotel, thousands of fans gathered on both sides of the road to witness their home team appear.

The magic bird was the first to appear in the lobby, facing the waving arms and shouts around him, and the Portuguese looked down and strode out of the door and boarded the bus.

After the coaching team, Li Liang also walked out, and in the face of the enthusiastic shouts, he waved his hand vigorously and gave a thumbs up.

Walking out of the hotel gate, a huge shout broke out at the scene: "Li! Plum! Plum! ”

After everyone waited for the bus, the bus slowly started in the cheers of everyone and drove towards the battlefield of fate.
