Atletico Madrid is coming to Manchester.

Carrick called Cristiano Ronaldo to his office for an interview on the morning of the game.

The old supergiant got straight to the point and demanded to start every game.

Carrick nodded yes.

Then he said: "I can satisfy you by starting every game, but I can't guarantee that you will play the whole game, can you accept that?" ”

The president thought about it and finally gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.

It's obviously not a smart move to be tough with the manager at this time, and Carrick has made it clear that he has made concessions and has given him the privilege of starting every game.

It can be regarded as a respect for the legend and a recognition of his ability at this stage.

But more cannot be promised.

If there is no past affection, it may be that a coach with a slightly tougher wrist will beat the president to the status of an ordinary player with one shot.

Whether to start or not, the playing time, all the coaches have the final say.

You just have to wait and see.

After solving the matter of Ronaldo, Carrick can be considered relieved.

At least the old supergiant didn't make a public fuss, didn't talk nonsense to the media, although there will be some discordant voices coming out, but they are all pressure and temptation, and they don't start the formation and have to make trouble in the heavenly palace.

Now he has also sent a signal to the British Emperor that he will give them more opportunities and hope that they will be able to fight for their breath.

In the evening, Old Trafford was packed and crowded.

There were a number of Manchester United legends in the stands, including Alex Ferguson, who also attended the game.

Ye Yifeng stood in front of the exit of the players' tunnel with a serious expression.

Atletico Madrid is menacing, and this battle is bound to not be easy.

I didn't catch up with my former teammates anymore, and I chatted a few words when the smoke cleared to see who would cry and laugh at that time.

The starters of both teams enter the pitch.

Both Simeone and Carrick stood on the sidelines to oversee the game.

The game hadn't even started yet, but the incomparably serious expressions of the two managers could easily make the crowd feel the tension.

At the kick-off ceremony before the game, Ye Yifeng shook hands with Koke, and after picking the side, he opened the formation and prepared for the battle.

"The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is about to kick off at Old Trafford.

Atletico Madrid are currently 2-1 on aggregate ahead of defending champions Manchester United.

If United want to turn the tables at home today, a goal is essential.

Carrick lined up with a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: David De Gea.

Defenders: Diogo Dalot, Maguire, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw.

Midfielders: Fred, B Fee, Pogba.

Forwards: Jadon Sancho, Ronaldo, Ye Yifeng.

Compared to when they were away from home, Manchester United are clearly much more aggressive in their personnel arrangements when returning to home.

Atletico Madrid started 451.

Goalkeeper: Oblak.

Defenders: Kieran Trippier, Jimenez, Felipe, Lodi.

Midfielders: Correa, Koke, Kondogbia, Llorente, Felix.

Forward: Antoine Griezmann.

Atletico Madrid put Suarez on the bench today, and Simeone should have chosen to let Suarez play at the back because he was physically unable to sustain 90 minutes of high-intensity play.

After all, Atletico Madrid's title race in the league is not optimistic. ”

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

Atletico Madrid, who kicked off first, attacked directly from the left.

Felix didn't receive much support, only Griezmann could provide a response when he moved closer to the left in the middle of the pitch, and Felix dribbled along the flanks and ran towards the edge of the box after getting into the dangerous area.

Fred rushed to the wing for a defensive interception, and Felix immediately took possession of the ball and retreated to return the ball diagonally.

Cork followed up with a shot that shifted to the right.

After the ball he was released, he retreated and did not follow up.

Correa cut in on the right and slotted to Luke Shaw to deliver a diagonal pass.

Pogba turned to press for Griezmann, who accelerated to the right side of the penalty area, avoided Varane head-on, and dodged Pogba's press, but when he stepped into the box and shot with his feet, it was clearly not a big angle.

The ball flew to the goal and was held by De Gea.

There is not much pressure because there is not much threat.

Manchester United began to organise attacks.

After three passes and two downs in midfield, B Fei sent a diagonal pass to the ground in the middle of the front.

Ye Yifeng ran inside and cut the ball to find the old supergiant in the middle of the penalty area, although Koke and Kondogbia followed Ye Yifeng, but they couldn't defend close to each other all the time.

Cristiano Ronaldo received the ball and forced a turn to shoot, but the ball was blocked by Felipe with his body head-on.

Shot very reluctantly.

However, United were unfazed, as Pogba took control of the ball in front of the centre circle and immediately switched to the right.

Sancho's dribbling was intercepted by a full-back who landed on the ground and returned the ball.

Dalot rushed up and Simeone was throwing a tantrum at Felix on the sidelines!

The opposing full-backs were all killed in the face, but Felix did not return to follow.

A common problem with offensive supernovas.

Diogo Dalot immediately sent in a cross.

The old super giant grabbed a point in the middle in front of the goal, and Ye Yifeng ambushed in the left rib of the penalty area behind the side.

When the ball crossed an arc and fell to the left rib of the penalty area, Ye Yifeng jumped up to grab the header, and Jimenez also jumped.

The two collided in the air, and although Ye Yifeng touched the football, he flew the ball overhead.

After landing, he staggered, and took two steps to stabilize his center of gravity.

Jimenez was also not easy, and the current situation of the two men in the air was disturbing the other.

The Red Devils fans cheered on and cheered on as much as they could.

The momentum is earth-shattering!

Atletico Madrid kicks off, but they are not in a hurry at all.

It's the old routine.

Grind time, break the rhythm.

Wear down your opponent's patience.

United have taken some counter-attacking measures up front, but they have not been aggressive.

When Atletico Madrid kicked off, Maguire controlled the ball at the back.

Manchester United regrouped their attack to face a tight Atletico Madrid defence.

Luke Shaw assisted on the left to get on to Pogba's pass, and then collided with Ye Yifeng to break through Trippier's defence.

It is clear that Atletico Madrid's slowness in attack contrasts sharply with United's swiftness and simplicity.

Simeone is not surprised that Ye Yifeng has changed his style of play and is more concise, as long as he appears, he can form a group of Manchester United.

Luke Shaw goes down and crosses the ball into the box.

Ye Yifeng followed up and cut forward to control the ball in front of the baseline.

Jimenez, Kork, and Kondogbia formed a circle of encirclement from the side, behind and behind the side.

Ye Yifeng took the initiative to take the ball to the side, and then half-turned and passed the ball back to the left in the penalty area.

B Fei ran to receive the ball and passed the ball to the right rib of the penalty area.

There is an old supergiant in front of the goal, and there is space in the hinterland of the right rib of the penalty area.

Sancho cuts inside and volleys from a tight angle!

Oblak made a quick move to make a flying save to keep the ball out of bounds.

It still looks a little thrilling.

But not so much that Oblak was left in a state of embarrassment.

Manchester United's tactical corner was met by Diogo Dalot on the flank and hoisted the ball into the area in front of the penalty area.

Felipe clears with a header in the scuffle.

Pogba chested the ball outside the box and fired a shot at goal.

The football is out of the picture.

Manchester United can start the game with an indiscriminate effect as long as they attack.

Simeone shook his head slightly on the sidelines.

The scene is dangerous.

Even if Atletico Madrid were to break the rhythm by wasting time, it would not reduce the threat of United attacking with the ball.

He gestured to the players and increased the aggression of the defense!

It's a little early, though.

But it's wiser than conceding a goal and then reacting.

In the 9th minute of the game, Correa dribbled on the right side to advance the attack, Griezmann came to the wing to respond, and Felix ran to the middle of the front at the same time.

After a quick and fluid pass, Felix swooped forward from the middle.

Suddenly, the ball changed direction to get past Maguire, who blocked the charge and Raphael Varane stepped forward to cut the ball.

It's in the bag.

Felix was knocked to the ground and the referee blew the whistle for a foul on Maguire.

Simeone frowned.

Although it was a dangerous free-kick opportunity for Atletico Madrid.

But the signal revealed by the referee is very clear: the penalty scale is tight!

This is not good for Atletico Madrid's overall defense.

Antoine Griezmann takes a free-kick and slides past goal.

Turning around, United's fast attack went from the right to the front of the wing.

Sancho didn't cross and the ball was sent diagonally back.

Pogba rushed to the right side of the penalty area, and then crossed the ball diagonally into the middle of the box to find the old supergiant.

Cristiano Ronaldo receives the ball with his back and sends it back.

B Fei stepped forward and was just about to send out the straight stopper.

Because Ye Yifeng has already run to the left position in the middle of the penalty area.

Correa rushed to tackle him, although he was aiming for the ball, but after B Fei changed direction to complete the dodge, Correa's foot touched B Fei's support leg, causing B Fei to fall to the ground.

The referee blew the whistle and walked over to show Correa a yellow card.

B Fei was treated by the team doctor.

Ye Yifeng walked out of the penalty area and prepared to take a direct free kick.

Red Devils fans are full of anticipation.

At this time, Ye Yifeng gave the old supergiant a look, and Ronaldo understood it.

Atletico Madrid has set up a human wall.

The referee blows the whistle to signal that the kick-off is OK.

Ye Yifeng put on a posture of direct shooting after running, but finally slashed the ball into the right rib of the penalty area.

Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly withdrew and turned to run after confronting Cork next to the human wall.

Koke took a step back and tried to reach out for an interception, but failed.

Cristiano Ronaldo forced a twist and swing his leg to shoot in the right rib of the penalty area!

Both coordination and operation are very extreme.

The old supergiant fell to the ground after shooting the goal.

Bang!

The ball hits the outside of the post and bounces off the baseline.

Ronaldo fell to the ground and slammed his fist on the ground, full of unwillingness.

Ye Yifeng slowly retreated, and at this time he gestured to Pogba and B Fei.

Signal them to step up the long-range threat.

From the start, United were playing deep threats, both on the left and right.

To a certain extent, Atletico Madrid's defense has been pressed into the goalmouth area.

So there's room for a long-range shot from the periphery.

When there is no obvious area to play an absolute advantage, the means of attacking the fortification will naturally have to change tricks and try in turns.

Simeone is battling pressure.

Carrick was patient.

At least since the start of the game, United have been threatening on the pitch.
