Chapter 399: Playing with an Injury

Theatre of Dreams, Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United vs Barcelona!

The media believes that for Manchester United, this is a game with no hope of turning the tables 100 per cent!

But when the reporters entered the Theater of Dreams. Seeing the waves of red people in the stands and hearing 80,000 people singing "Glory Glory ManUnited" in unison, their views seemed to be shaken. The reason why the Dream Theater is called the Dream Theater is because it often holds fantastic competitions.

SKY TV commentator Dunphy got Manchester United's starting line-up: "Mourinho had already spoken to the media before the start of this game. It is necessary to reshuffle Manchester United's backline! The four defenders who started today were Bailly, Smalling, Dalmien and Lindelof. Valencia, Bailly and Phil Jones were on the bench. Nemanja Matic and Paul Pogba form a back two. Up front, Marcus Rashford starts. On the forward line is 。。。。。 ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy said this, unable to believe his eyes: "Oh my God! The front line is still a LIL combination! Old Lieutenant Liu Yun debuted! After suffering an injury on the pitch, Manchester United's official website announced that the old lieutenant will recuperate for a month. It's only been 10 days! The old lieutenant started with an injury! ”

Fat Bob said, "This is the old lieutenant!" The number one tough guy in the Premier League! Injuries are nothing to mention in front of Manchester United's honour! Those of you who know me well know that I'm a Queens Park Rangers fan. But today, I still have to say from the bottom of my heart: Come on, Manchester United! In the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Manchester United represents not only the city of Manchester, but the entire Premier League! ”

The big-mouthed Dunphy continued: "I predicted before the game that Barcelona would send a substitute to play in this game that has disappeared from suspense. But it was surprising. In this game, Barcelona sent all the main forces. Up front, Messi partners Suarez. Four midfielders: Andres Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, Paulinho, Rakitic. Alba, Mascherano, Pique, Roberto at the back. Goalkeeper Schellstegen. It seems that although he has 4 goals in hand, Barcelona coach Valverde still has no understatement! ”

Fat Bob agreed, "That's right! Valverde did not underestimate the enemy! You know, this is the Theater of Dreams! The old lieutenant's injured start added countless suspense to this game! ”

In Manchester United's locker room, the old lieutenant Liu Yun wore the captain's armband on his right arm! The veteran captain Valencia sat on the bench for this game, and Liu Yun will take over the responsibility of captain on the field.

As the captain, Liu Yun, although he is not a Christian, still led the players to say their final prayers.

Manchester United's main players, the substitutes, all the staff stood together, shoulder to shoulder in a circle.

Liu Yun remembered the prayer of the Coventry team, and he blurted out: "Thank God for giving me an unconquerable soul." God, you are my strength. Please help me! I believe in you, O God, that other people's enemies are triumphing in me! God is my strength, my refuge, my tower and deliverer, my shield! God, I sincerely pray that you will deliver a miracle on earth for Manchester United! Amen! ”

"Amen!"

After praying, the madman Mourinho stood on the table in the dressing room: "All right! Barcelona is right outside! They have Messi and Suarez! Let's fight for the glory of Manchester United and go for an impossible victory! ”

"Glory to Manchester United!" A group of players chanted and walked into the players' tunnel under the leadership of captain Liu Yun.

In this game, Barcelona's on-field captain is the little white Iniesta.

When the Barcelona players saw the old lieutenant Liu Yun starting as the captain, there was an expression of disbelief on their faces.

Messi asked Liu Yun: "Hey, old lieutenant, your injuries healed so quickly?!" ”

Liu Yun smiled at Messi: "It's not good!" But if the injury is not good, it does not necessarily affect the goal! ”

Messi stretched out a thumbs up to Liu Yun: "Tough guy!" A real tough guy! But rest assured, Barcelona will definitely not give Manchester United a chance to turn the tables in this game! ”

Liu Yun, as the captain, stood at the front of the team. Next to him was Iniesta.

Iniesta and Liu Yunpan talked: "Hey, old lieutenant. My teammates and I have watched quite a few videos of your game. My teammates said, when you make Iniesta croquettes, you are even more Iniesta than Iniesta! ”

Liu Yun joked with Iniesta with a relaxed face: "Do you want to charge my copyright fee?" ”

Iniesta pointed to Liu Yun's right leg: "Your gastrocnemius muscle... Does it really matter if you start? ”

Liu Yun said with a smile: "When I use the Iniesta pill to get past Iniesta, you will know if it matters!" ”

Iniesta laughed and said, "Old lieutenant, I like you guy!" ”

Players from both sides enter! Pick the edge and the game begins!

Barcelona kicks off first. Andres Iniesta passes the ball back to Rakitic. Rakitic dribbled forward and gave the ball to Messi!

Messi took the ball, and Bai immediately posted it!

Bayi, an Ivorian player born in '94. He is 1.87 meters tall and has a strong body. Compared to the typical black-and-hard centre-back, Bailly is more flexible at his feet. After moving from Villarreal to Manchester United, Bailly was a marginal figure for more than a season.

At the start of the season, Bailly was even relegated to the reserve squad by Jose Mourinho.

In the first leg of the quarterfinals, Manchester United lost 0:4 to Barcelona at Camp Nou, and the back line can be said to be full of holes in front of Messi! This made Mourinho determined to have major surgery on Manchester United's back line! Bayi, who has been frozen for a long time, entered the starting list for this game under the strong recommendation of assistant coach Bart.

In this game, Bailly's position is to mark the centre-back. Mourinho gave him a death order, Messi no matter where he is, even if he walks without the ball, Bailly must stick to him firmly!

Messi is not familiar with the little-known centre-back of Bailly. It's just a couple of times when Bailly played for Villarreal.

How did Messi know that the original Villarreal backline youngster has made great progress since coming to Manchester United.

Messi smashed the ball and changed to the right, and Bai instantly changed his center of gravity to the right, blocking Messi's way!

Messi had no choice but to hand over the ball to Iniesta behind him!

Facing Pogba's defense, Iniesta directly used his signature move - Iniesta croquettes past Pogba!

Iniesta sideways Suarez! Suarez takes the ball and cuts inside! The edge of the big forbidden area suddenly throws a cold arrow! The ball flew straight into the top right corner of the Manchester United goal!

De Gea jumps! With one palm, the angle and its tricky shot are lifted off the line!

In just 3 minutes of the opening game, Barcelona who were playing away gave the home team Manchester United a dismissal!

Corner kick!

Andres Iniesta's corner was driven to the back post, and Nemanja Matic grabbed the first point and headed the ball to Pogba in front of the box, who cleared the ball with a big foot.
