Before the game, the media talked more about the players on both sides, and the most eye-catching thing for Manchester United was Van Nistelrooy, whether Van Ni could play or not was directly related to Manchester United's offensive ability in the frontcourt, and the media was more concerned about this.

The English media hope that Ruud van Nistelrooy will be back and that United will have a stronger front line and a higher chance of winning. The Italian media are also talking about this, but they don't think Van Nistelrooy's comeback is nothing, after all, he hasn't played for more than two months, and he doesn't have any form.

In addition to Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo are also topics of concern for fans.

Both of these players are among the best young players in the world, but both can be called superstars, whether in terms of value, salary income, or fame, they can compete with other world-class superstars, and probably the only thing missing in this area is some championships.

The one who attracted the most attention from Rome was Zhang Tiehan.

In the Roma team, the only ones who can be compared with Rooney and C-Ronaldo are Zhang Tiehan and Cassano, but Cassano has never been abroad, and his table is relatively bland, and he has not received much attention, but Zhang Tiehan is different, he is too eye-catching in Serie A and the Champions League, compared to the two young stars of Manchester United, maybe Zhang Tiehan still lacks one thing, that is, salary income.

Zhang Tiehan's annual salary is about 2.2 million euros, while Rooney's and C-Ronaldo's salaries are more than double that of him, and the taxes of the rich in England are lower than those in Italy.

In addition to salary, Zhang Tiehan's fame on the field is still lower than Rooney's and C-Ronaldo's, after all, Zhang Tiehan's real fame is too short, and when he came to Rome, he himself was not famous, and his strength in a season was eye-catching. But compared with Rooney and C-Ronaldo, talented stars like Rooney and Ronaldo, who have attracted the attention of all Europe since childhood, they are still a little worse.

The Italian media likes to talk about Zhang Tiehan, because Zhang Tiehan has scored too many goals, which may be the only leader in Roma.

The English media also likes to talk about Zhang Tiehan, because it can give Ferguson some 'eye medicine', and now it is too difficult to find some negative topics about the old jazz, and Zhang Tiehan is one of them. He was a rare failure in Ferguson's life.

Of course, this is a sensitive, taboo subject for Ferguson.

Just the day before the game, a reporter asked Ferguson if he regretted selling Zhang Tiehan that year, and the old jazz, who has always been very personable and humorous, suddenly interrupted the reporter's question, saying that he was unwilling to answer the question, but then he said that he was not surprised by Zhang Tiehan's success in Italy.

Ferguson said: "He was already good. I'm not surprised that he's been successful in Italy. ”

The Italian media believes that this is an olive branch thrown by Ferguson. Perhaps the old jazz wants to bring Zhang Tiehan back to Old Trafford.

However, when Zhang Tiehan was interviewed and the reporter mentioned Ferguson's words, Zhang Tiehan said at a loss, "When I was at Manchester United, he didn't think I was good, even if I scored two goals in the warm-up game, many Manchester United fans applauded me at that time, but he still put me on the list." ”

"What do you think was the biggest reason for leaving Manchester United?" A reporter asked.

Zhang Tiehan said bluntly. "You should all know that Portuguese idiot at the time. Oh, sorry, it's a compliment to call him like that, I should say it's a Portuguese bastard, he's jealous that I can score, so he provokes him. I had a conflict with him, and on the pitch, Mr. Ferguson didn't ask why, he thought I wasn't as good as Cristiano Ronaldo, so he chose to be a jerk. I was sold to Wigan Athletic, yes, I remember it was only 400,000 euros. ”

'I'm really grateful to Manchester United, to Mr. Alex Ferguson, for getting me out of the woods, at least I don't have to be in the same team with that bastard.

The reporters who came to interview were immediately happy, this was Zhang Tiehan who took the initiative to scold...... The target is still C-Ronaldo, a young idol star who is thriving in English football, and a reporter immediately asked, "Apart from C-Ronaldo, what do you think of other Manchester United players?" ”

'It's all good, I've been at Manchester United for five years, I know all the players in the Manchester United team, they have a good relationship with me, they have a good relationship with David, the last time we played against Real Madrid, we said hello to each other, we left our phone number, but unfortunately I couldn't play with David in the first team.

"Can you comment on Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo's cousins?"

Zhang Tiehan thought about it, "Rooney? That young man from Everton? He's outstanding, very good, not as good as me, but not bad either. C-Ronaldo? I don't know how his table has been lately, but I think if I meet him on the field, the only thing he can do is pass the ball to me, because he was afraid of me and I punched him. ”

This is the longest interview a reporter has ever done with Zhang Tiehan before the game.

At the end of the interview, when the media reported the news, the smell of gunpowder between the two teams was really full...... Maybe it's just individual players who are full of gunpowder, such as Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney said to Zhang Tiehan that he was not as good as him and was very dissatisfied, and he immediately fought back, "I admit that when Everton played against Wigan Athletic, he scored more goals than me, but that doesn't prove anything, especially now." ”

C-Ronaldo was even more annoyed, "He said I was a bastard? I think the one who said that was the bastard! ”

I don't know what other Manchester United players think, but apparently they didn't fight back because Zhang Tiehan said a few words, which proves that Zhang Tiehan is right, he has a good relationship with Manchester United players, but Manchester United players avoid talking about Zhang Tiehan's departure from Manchester United, which is obviously unwilling to offend coach Ferguson.

Only Fletcher said, "Zhang is very good, I knew it when we were all in the youth team of Manchester United." Congratulations on his success in Italy. Me and him? Oh, we're best friends, we were, and we are, but if I could play, I wouldn't miss it. ”

……

On the afternoon of 23 February, all Roma players arrived in Manchester by plane.

After Drinel announced the disbandment, he took his teammates to Manchester's most prosperous business district for a walk, but met a lot of Manchester United fans on the way, and almost clashed and fought, as a result, their tour ended in vain, and they could only return to the hotel to wait for tomorrow's game.

Apparently the United fans won't let them have a good time before the game starts.

The next morning, all the Roma players took the bus directly to Old Trafford, and during the drive, the bus did not get up fast, because there were many Manchester United fans waiting on the side of the street, and these extreme Manchester United fans would even appear in front of the bus to block the way, and there were many people with various slogans for the Romans to see.

"Get back to Rome! This is Manchester! You guys are not welcome in Manchester! ”

"You're going to lose 10 to 0!"

"Be afraid! Fear it! Manchester United will 'kill' you! ”

All kinds of intimidation and abusive slogans emerge one after another, making the whole atmosphere of Rome seem very strong, they have not experienced the big game, but this situation is still a little unprepared, and only Zhang Tiehan sat very indifferently, "Manchester has always been like this, it's normal, you haven't seen the Manchester derby, it's no worse than our game with Lazio, those fans will set off big fireworks on the street, that's specially made, I saw it once, the fireworks hit the sky and it was written' I'm going to kill you all', the guy was arrested by the police at night. ”

With that, my teammates calmed down a lot.

Think of the Rome derby, the atmosphere is much hotter, the difference is that it's Rome, it's their turf, and this is England, it's Manchester.

The United fans were so 'enthusiastic' that the 'scenery' and experience along the way were very annoying, but luckily the distance was not far, only a few kilometres, and the bus didn't travel far to reach its destination, and the players packed their bags and were ready to get off the bus.

As the team passed through the mixed zone, a large number of reporters rushed in, with microphones and cameras in hand, to interview the Roma team who had just arrived at the stadium.

Zhang Tiehan was completely surrounded.

He didn't really want to be interviewed, but a Manchester reporter stopped him, and it was...... Alexia? Zhang Tiehan recognized Alexia, he smiled at Alexia, but Alexia took the initiative to hand over the microphone with a working attitude, "Zhang, hello, can you make a prediction about the score?" ”

Although it is a businessman's business, Alexia's problem is still very sensitive for a player who is going to participate in the game, and it is obvious that this woman does not intend to let Zhang Tiehan go.

If it were anyone else, Zhang Tiehan would definitely refuse to answer, but Alexia could be regarded as an 'old friend', and an 'old friend' who he hadn't seen for almost a year, and he could still remember the softness of the two peaks, so he stopped, smiled at Alexia, and said, "The score? This is Old Trafford, Manchester United's turf...... So I don't think we should win too arrogantly, three to one, I think the score is acceptable. ”

SHIT！

That's not arrogant!

The surrounding reporters all rolled their eyes, at Old Trafford, to challenge Manchester United, they dared to say that a score of 3 to 1, Manchester United won 3 to 1!

Alexia was the same, she gritted her teeth and was born, "You're so arrogant! ”

Zhang Tiehan shrugged, carried his backpack and walked away.

Alexia looked at his back, her beautiful eyes blinked and blinked, a look of complexity flashed in her eyes, and she muttered quietly, "...... But it's really not much changed from the original. (To be continued......)
