After the game, the related topics were discussed at a high level.

Sir Alex Ferguson was also asked about Cristiano Ronaldo's performance.

He replied: "When any player scores a hat-trick at the Theatre of Dreams, he's no longer ordinary. I'm very bullish on Cristiano Ronaldo and I think he has the potential to become a world-class striker. ”

"Is there any consideration for bringing in Cristiano Ronaldo? Of course, there is no team that does not want such a good striker...... I don't think there's a need to worry about the atmosphere inside United, the strikers are very good and I'm sure they won't be afraid of competition. ”

"Finals? Of course, I don't have any doubts about Manchester United reaching the final. Sporting Lisbon did a great job, but the win will be for Manchester United and we are mentally prepared for the next leg. ”

"Real Madrid? I don't want to talk about Real Madrid at the moment, it's what we should do to go all out and face the next game. ”

Ferguson's reply was remarkable, expressing United's self-confidence without being too ambitious to give people a sense of carelessness.

Therefore, the vast majority of people still believe that the general trend is at Manchester United.

On April 27, the 33rd round of the Portuguese Super League.

Sporting CP vs Benfica.

Sporting Lisbon, who had already won the Portuguese Super League in advance, was once again rested with all their staff.

But after the game, they were not criticized.

Because the "young players" played another good game.

Chinese player Yu Shihao scored twice to help the team draw with Benfica.

Benfica's energy was all used up in the last round against Porto, and this round was relatively lackluster.

April 30.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich took the lead in the second leg of the semi-final.

Real Madrid relied on the assist of the new Golden Ball Mr. Raul and the goal of the new World Footballer Figo to defend their home ground 1-1 Bayern.

In this way, they reached this year's Champions League final with an aggregate score of 3-1.

For a time, the galactic battleship was extremely powerful.

That night, Manchester United flew to Sporting Lisbon in a low-key manner.

Their emotions were not high, because they completely missed out on the championship in the league.

Only Liverpool have a slim chance to remain.

But once the next round of the league is over, if nothing else, Arsenal should win the title.

Manchester United's three-pronged Premier League winning streak came to an end.

If you can't win a Champions League trophy, then this red dynasty may really come to an end.

No one is invincible forever, and it's a miracle that this United team has these accolades now, but the creators of all miracles want miracles to last forever.

At the very least, everyone hopes that the day will come sooner rather than later.

May 1.

The two sides have announced the starting list one after another.

Manchester United made a big change.

Alex Ferguson let go of his pride and allowed United to return to their traditional style of play.

A set of 442 formations declares that they can sacrifice everything for the continuation of the dynasty, including Ferguson's dignity.

Ruud van Nistelrooy and Forlan make up the dream duo of centre-forwards.

York was on the bench.

Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Veron and David Beckham make up the dream midfield.

Left thrust, right pass, long shot...... The only thing missing in this midfield is defence.

That's the only problem with Keane's absence.

If Keane is still around, then Ferguson may have put Veron, last year's Premier League champion, on the bench.

In fact, Manchester United, with its traditional style of play, does not need a midfielder like Veron, who is extremely talented in attack.

They need to be more defensively oriented and have other functions, or simply be a jack-of-all-trades type of midfielder.

And Veron's panacea and defensive attributes are extremely weak, if he doesn't play his strengths, then he is at the level of a second-rate midfielder.

However, Manchester United's left and right flanks have actually broken down the team's attacking tasks, and Veron has no room to play.

At the back, Phil Neville, Blanco, Silvestre and Gary Neville formed the backline.

The goalkeeper is still Butters.

O'Shea started the game well but has been collapsing since Cristiano Ronaldo's goal.

The whole game was beaten into a sieve by Ronaldo.

You know, before that game started, O'Shea was the prince in the eyes of many Red Devils fans.

But after that game, people didn't talk about O'Shea, and it was already the most respectful to O'Shea.

Therefore, after Gary recovered, it was naturally Gary who took the starter.

On the other hand, Sporting Lisbon's starting line-up has also changed a lot.

The most surprising thing is that they have added a defender to help defend due to the reduction in the quality of their defenders.

They continued with a three-centre-back formation.

There was even an unprofessional full-back like McCone as a cameo as a central defender:

Cristiano Ronaldo, Drogba

Kaka, Deng Kai, Xiao Luo

Mateus, Pep Guardiola

Fonte, Vidic, McConn

Leonard

This makes the outside world wonder.

But a look at Sporting Lisbon's squad is actually a relief.

Even Font started the game.

This shows that Sporting Lisbon really don't have more good defenders.

That would expect an extra low-level defender, rather than maintaining a high-quality midfield.

In the afternoon, Sporting Lisbon fans entered one after another.

Today's home stadium is green and white, which is a stark contrast to the home of the Red Devils.

Some of the fans pulled banners, and some painted art paint on their faces.

The atmosphere was quite hot.

Lisbon is the capital of Portugal and has a lot of other residents who love their hometown teams.

But today, they all donned the jerseys of Sporting Lisbon and arrived at the stadium.

Some fans even found that the president of a well-known fan association in Benfica actually came to the scene to cheer for Sporting Lisbon.

In contrast, Manchester United's fans are only a handful of them.

Soon, players from both sides entered the locker room to prepare for the game.

Then in the passionate Champions League march, lead the little caddy to the pitch.

Among them, Deng Kai is holding his die-hard fan little fan, B Fei.

Little Brother B took the lead, with infinite glory on his face.

The camera also showed the stands, Pepe and Barzagli were both wearing suits to watch the game, and their expressions were even more nervous than the players playing on the field.
