There is a lot of talk in the media about European football coming together to help Manchester United beat Lazio.

Even at the pre-match press conference, there were media reporters who stood up and asked questions about Chang Sheng.

He said: "Does this phenomenon show that Lazio is not very popular? ”

Chang Sheng scoffed at this, and he snorted: "This only shows how much the whole of Europe is afraid of us, and has done everything to defeat us." ”

He shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "But I don't care. It's Manchester United that plays against us, not Manchester United plus Real Madrid plus AC Milan and Jutus plus other cats and dogs...... If anyone thinks they can beat us in this way, then I welcome them to give it a try, because they don't really lose to us, they don't understand how futile these things are. ”

He is very domineering, and at Old Trafford, his momentum makes people think that he is the master here.

And the reporters are also surprised by the self-confidence of Chang Sheng.

Maybe he's bluffing?

Many reporters thought so.

Chang Sheng doesn't care what the reporters think in their hearts, anyway, as long as he wins, the thoughts of these reporters are meaningless.

Compared with the confidence of winning many times, Ferguson seems to be cautious even when playing at home.

He did not say before the game that being one goal behind is an advantage, but said: "No matter how many goals you are behind, being behind is being behind." I don't know why the media is bullish on us, it's clear that the big favourites are Lazio. Even though it was our home stadium, we were behind in terms of the score and it was a tough game......"

The old fox hid his claws as if he were a cute Samoyed......

He wanted to shift the focus to Lazio and let the pressure go to Lazio, who he desperately tried to decompress his players before the game.

He never mentions the factors that are good for him. It's the difficulty of repeating the game over and over again.

As if it wasn't his home stadium, it was away.

The attitude of the two managers in their pre-match press conference was really interestingly tight.

The away manager is confident, but the home manager is cautious.

In their pre-match press conferences, both managers also announced their starting line-ups for the game.

Looking at the starting line-up, both sides are the strongest and most in-form players.

Manchester United's main line-up after the break in the last Premier League game was a factor start.

The same is true for Lazio.

Just by looking at the starting line-up, you can imagine how intense this game will be.

However, United's starting line-up is not the same as it was in the first leg between the two sides.

At home stadium, Ferguson opted for a more attacking line-up rather than defending as he did on the road.

It's clear this game. On their home turf Manchester United are going to attack.

This is not unexpected.

If you only lose one goal in the first leg and don't attack when you go back home, then Manchester United is not Manchester United. Attacking is a must, there's no suspense about it.

The key is to see how Manchester United attack.

Lazio's lineup is no different from the first leg, and Lazio's tactics should not change much.

On the day of the match. Media from all over the world gathered at Old Trafford to cover the game.

From the time when there were five hours before the start of the game, some TV stations started their live broadcasts.

At the entrance of the hotel where Lazio was staying, there were also many reporters and fans.

Journalists came to cover Lazio's pre-match preparations, and fans came to cheer Lazio on.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the whole Lazio team had a simple dinner and drove to Old Trafford by bus.

At this time, there were still two hours and forty-five minutes before the start.

The square outside Old Trafford was already full of people. Most of them are Manchester United fans, and everywhere you look is a sea of red.

Lazio fans couldn't see it on the ground – they were all asked by the police to arrive late and then under police protection. Unified entry from one entrance.

This is both for security reasons, but it is also a trick on the part of the United side – they want to put pressure on the Lazio team by creating the illusion that the United fans are overwhelming and the Lazio fans are not able to see them. Because at the time of the Lazio buses. There will not be a single Lazio fan to be seen.

Sure enough, when the buses of Lazio and Manchester United arrived at the stadium one after the other. They were treated very differently.

As soon as Lazio's blue-and-white bus appeared in the eyes of everyone, it was like someone throwing a stone in the crowd, and the boos rippled like ripples, eventually spreading to the entire square.

The fanatical United fans gave the Lazio bus a collective middle finger.

Lazio was also entertained with a British national curse with a Manchester accent.

At this time, Chang Sheng in the car stood up from his seat.

He then pointed out the window to the frenzied Manchester United fans and said to his players: "See, guys? We're going to play in this environment, and that's the away game. Now the whole of Europe is against us, and they're helping Manchester United, have you noticed? Look over there...... Over there, there were Manchester United fans holding signs that said 'Thank you Mourinho, thank you Allegri' and they were really grateful to these people for helping them before the game. ”

The players looked over with the winning gestures, and sure enough, they saw in the crowd that there were some United fans holding signs like this.

"This is probably the most special Champions League game you've ever had, even more so than the Champions League final. Because our opponent is not one Manchester United, but the whole of European football! What I'm going to say is...... What a great thing! When a team can unite all of Europe against him, that can only say that the success of that team! ”

"But even so, even if they do, they won't be able to win us! In the future, not only this season, but next season, next season, and every season in the future, this will only happen. Who made us stand out from the crowd? There will be endless battles like this, but either way, remember, guys. Take the road that no one has walked before, this road is not easy to walk, we will encounter a lot of difficulties similar to cover-up, there are many battles waiting for us. That's a career, and it's the same in life. You will have a lot of difficulties in life, and you have to fight against them. But the battle is not the most important thing, we have to fight, but in the end, we must return victorious! Life is a process of fighting and then triumphing! ”

"This time, let's triumph too!"

I don't know how the United fans outside the car would have felt if they knew that their boos and middle fingers had turned the winning habit into motivation for the players......

During the warm-up, the Lazio players finished it with a lot of boos.

The hatred between Manchester United and Lazio has also been largely built up over the years.

Since losing to Lazio on a rainy night in Moscow in 2008, United fans have developed a hatred for Lazio, and before that, the two sides were two parallel lines that did not intersect with each other, and the Premier League hegemons did not take Lazio's small transparency into account at all.

But since that meeting, United and Lazio have met three times in four years, the first two defeats to Lazio, which has led the United players to even regard Lazio as their most wanted opponent in the Champions League.

For the third time, it was only natural that United fans would have to prepare a booing feast as a way to "entertain" Lazio.

However, their boos did not disturb the Lazio players, who were no strangers to such a scene as a member of the Lazio team.

Boos are the treatment they have to face when they play away.

Over time, you get used to it.

And with the boss's speech in the car, the players took the boos of the United fans as a charge for themselves - their fighting power came from the hatred of their opponents. The more the opponent hates them, the more they will come. Their boos and hatred are like electric currents that charge into their bodies, giving them maximum energy!

After the warm-up, they returned to the dressing room and began to make final preparations for the game.

When warming up, you need to change your clothes, start wearing shin guards in your socks, tie lucky bracelets around your wrists, or start styling your hair and changing your jersey.

After all this, they all sat in their chairs and waited for their boss to make the final pre-war mobilization. It's become a fixture for the team, and it's like a race, and there has to be a gunshot. As soon as the gun goes off, they will be enthusiastic and into battle.

Today, Chang Win's pre-match speech was very short: "It is very dangerous to win only one goal at home in the first leg, and this is the main reason why those media and experts analyze that we are not favored. But isn't the purpose of our existence to break these 'conventions' and 'in general'? If we can't even do that, then how can we blaze a trail that has never been done before? ”

Hearing Chang Sheng's words, everyone nodded, thinking that what the boss said was right and reasonable.

"Remember what I said to you guys in the car, guys? Our life is a process of constant fighting and continuous triumph! This is also a Lazio tradition! ”

Then, he put the players on the pitch.

The players didn't scream and kill out, they got up from their seats one by one, although they were silent and relatively silent, but everyone's eyes were very firm, their fists were clenched, and the power contained in their bodies was accumulating, waiting to burst out during the game!

They walked out of the locker room, into the aisle, and every step was full of power.

That's how Lazio's players came out and were ready to play.
