"Yes, Yu, you and Brown in a centre-back combination! Believe in yourself, you did a great job in the last game! ”

Before the game, Ferguson was making meticulous arrangements in the dressing room, and Yu Liang was once again placed in the central defender position. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Yes, he did have a good performance in the last game.

But Yu Liang was still unwilling to stay in the central defender position for an extra second. Because of the tall striker, the impact on him is too great. His physique could not support such a high-intensity confrontation.

AC Milan lost Shepchenko, but their impact up front didn't diminish much. Gilardino has seen a drop in goals and has shown a lack of fit for Carlo Ancelotti's tactical system, but his threat up front has not diminished. He may not be very explosive, but he still has a strong physique. What's more, there is an ambush behind him, a Kaka with a super impact?

When listening to Ferguson say this arrangement, Yu Liang immediately sighed a little, and a helpless look appeared on his face.

This was Yu Liang's wordless resistance, but it didn't play any role.

After Ferguson finished talking about the team's starting arrangements, he was there to explain what should be focused on in the game.

First of all, Ferguson mentioned Kaka. Although Kaka is not the most crucial player for AC Milan, in Ancelotti's tactical system, Kaka plays one of the most important roles, the finisher! With Seedorf in front and Pirlo in the back, Kaka's attacking ability is infinitely amplified on the field. The combination of man and ball in high-speed progress is quite perfect, and the rapid change of direction after striding the meteor with the ball is unstoppable.

"So you have to suppress his space in the game, and you can't let him rush up! Darren, your mission is to follow him and restrain him! ”

Ferguson gave Fletcher the honorable task of limiting Kaka.

Then there's Pirlo.

After being moved by Ancelotti, Pirlo's role was infinitely magnified. With Andrea Pirlo in control of the tempo in central midfield, AC Milan was relaxed in attack and defence.

Therefore, restricting Pirlo is tantamount to cutting off AC Milan's perpetual motion machine.

But this is not easy, not to mention that they also have a traditional forward Seedorf in the frontcourt?

So in terms of limiting AC Milan's midfield, he is pinning his hopes on zone defence.

"Everybody has to run, lose the ball and then fight back on the spot, you can't give them time and space to fall in the back!"

After saying it again, Ferguson seemed relieved and repeated it again in the dressing room.

While Ferguson was in full swing in the dressing room, Carlo Ancelotti was also making the final arrangements in the away dressing room.

"Watch out for their wide attacks, be sure to limit their wings! So after the opening, try to minimize assists, at least not on both sides at the same time. After losing the ball in the front court, start pressing as soon as possible, and if you really can't foul on the spot, you can't give them a chance to counterattack! ”

Manchester United have a strong counter-attacking ability, which Ancelotti is more afraid of.

"When attacking, hit them behind more, they will definitely limit Kaka's space during the game, so you understand!"

A smile immediately appeared on the faces of the AC Milan players, and of course they understood the meaning of Carlo Ancelotti's arrangement, and once Kaka rushed up, no one could stop him, and once Kaka was successful against offside, it would mean a goal.

"Alright, guys, it's a shame to reach the finals!"

When Ancelotti said this, there was a frost on his face.

Two years ago, the night in Istanbul was the result of the great Red Army Liverpool. The tenacity of the Liverpudlian people was celebrated after the game.

And they, after the game, became someone else's joke.

The three-goal lead was reversed, and it was a shame for them, and they carried the shame on their backs, hoping to stand on the stage of the final again, crush their opponents and win the honour in one fell swoop.

"It's a shame to reach the final!"

The AC Milan players raised their arms and shouted, then walked out of the dressing room with their heads held high.

Last season, they were kept out of the final by Barcelona, who were in full swing. Now that they have met their former subordinates, they will never allow such a thing to happen again.

Not to mention that this season is the perfect time for them to get their revenge, because of Liverpool in the other half.

"Alright, guys, in order to rebuild the treble, take out AC Milan!"

After winning the treble in the 98/99 season, United entered a period of pain.

First they were challenged by Arsenal in the league, then they lost David Beckham and finally they were challenged by Chelsea in the league.

After a few twists and turns, Ferguson has once again completed the puzzle of the team, from strikers to defenders, with absolute superstars on every line, and it is time to challenge for the treble again.

Although the team's lineup is not neat now, as long as AC Milan is eliminated to advance to the final, he will be able to play the final with the strongest lineup at that time, and the championship can still be sidelined?

"Kill AC Milan and rebuild the Treble!"

Led by Giggs, Yu Liang shouted three times in the locker room before walking out of the locker room.

……

"Good evening, welcome to the first leg of the Champions League semi-final between Manchester United and AC Milan, which was played at Old Trafford, and now that the players from both sides have entered the stadium, we will first introduce you to the starting line-ups of both sides."

Immediately after the commentator's words fell, the starting line-ups of both sides were immediately played on the TV screen.

Manchester United 433, goalkeepers: 1, Van der Sar.

Defenders: 22, O'Shea, 6, Brown, 16, Yu Liang, 4, Heinze.

Midfielders: 24, Fletcher, 10, Carrick, 18, Scholes.

Forwards: 7, Cristiano Ronaldo, 8, Rooney, 11, Giggs.

AC Milan 4411, goalkeepers: 1, Dida.

Defenders: 44, Odo, 13, Nesta, 3, Maldini, 18, Jankulovski.

Midfielders: 8, Gattuso, 21, Pirlo, 23, Ambrosini, 10, Seedorf, 22, Kaka.

Forwards: 11, Gilardino.

"United's starting line-up hasn't changed much from the last game, Yu Liang is still in the unfamiliar centre-back position, he did well in this position in the last game and scored a wonderful goal, and we hope he can give us a good performance in this game as well! As for King Dong, who is worth paying attention to, he is sitting on the bench in this game, and we hope that he can play in the game and continue to have a good performance. Well, it was Manchester United who started the game and attacked first......"

Although they shouted three times in the dressing room before the game to kill AC Milan, when the game actually started, they played more conservatively.

After the opening kick-off, United did not press all the way out, but organized two tentative attacks up front.

AC Milan were also very cooperative at the back and didn't show any holes.

In this way, Manchester United and AC Milan were in a stalemate in the stadium for a few minutes, like two martial arts masters competing in martial arts, waiting for the other party to be the first to show their flaws.

After all, this is Manchester United's home stadium, and with more than 70,000 fans cheering, United took the lead in attacking.

However, as soon as the attack advanced to the heart of AC Milan, it was intercepted by Gattuso at the back. Just after Gattuso gave the ball to Kaka, Fletcher, who had been following Kaka's side, stepped forward to intercept the ball.

Manchester United broke up front.

Fletcher picked up a cross and Rooney fired a volley over Nesta's leg and over the crossbar after being offside.

Corner kick!

Ryan Giggs took a corner kick from the right and Ronaldo shook his head five meters in front of the goal.

AC Milan's goalkeeper Dida didn't react at all, not even making a save, but the ball hit Dida's shoulder and bounced high, and Heinze and the defender on the goal line competed for the top. Dida, who reacted at this time, immediately turned around and prepared to hit the ball, but when he plucked the ball, he didn't eat the right part and directly dialed the ball into the goal.

1-0。

Manchester United have made a fantastic start at home! (To be continued.) )
