The final pre-match preparations are over and the starters are fully geared.

Suke tucked the shin guard into his sock and pulled it up above his knees, then took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Everyone's eyes subconsciously focused on Maldini.

Maldini tightened the captain's armband on his arm, turned his head to look at the crowd, and said aloud:

'We've done well enough to be in the semi-finals of the Champions League again, but now that we're here, I don't think anyone wants to go back!'

Maldini paused, and when he saw that everyone's eyes had become sharp, he nodded in satisfaction.

He took a deep breath and said loudly; "Nothing to be afraid of! Even if it's at the opponent's home stadium, but we're AC Milan! ”

Bang bang!

Maldini thumped himself the chest.

"Look at the crest on your chest, it carries the honor and belief of 100 years, we are AC Milan! We are warriors from the Apennines, and we are here not to taste defeat, but to terrify each other. ”

"It doesn't matter if he's Manchester United, Alex Ferguson or whatever, we have nothing to fear!"

“Forza！ Milan！ ”

The crowd shouted in unison.

“Forza！！！ Milan！！！ ”

With the last shout, the Milan players followed Maldini out of the dressing room and onto their own battlefield.

Meanwhile, in the other corner, Ryan Giggs wore the captain's armband and also led the United players over.

The two sides met at the corner of the tunnel, but everyone looked ahead, standing neatly on either side of the tunnel.

Both sides had serious expressions and resolute eyes.

Even the referee standing at the front felt the solemn and oppressive pre-match atmosphere.

The referee licked his dry lips as a voice came from the headphones.

"Ready to play!"

The referee turned his head and shouted as he pressed his headphones.

Suddenly, the players on both sides yelled.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ——

The whole Old Trafford stadium is boiling.

The crowd churned and surged like boiling water.

The shouts and boos of tens of thousands of fans made the stadium extremely lively.

Manchester United fans are shouting wildly, they are cheering for the home team and they are booing Milan at the same time.

In the stands of the away fans, the Milan away fans led by Bob are sparsely numbered, but they are still shouting at the top of their voices, trying to squeeze out a trace of Milan's voice from this huge sound.

It was very weak, but they did it.

2,000 against 80,000, it's not an easy task.

Although the voice was very weak, it was conveyed to the Milan players.

As he walked out of the players' tunnel, Suker looked out into the stands of the Milan fans.

In the stands of the huge Manchester United fans, they occupy a small square, but there, the red and black flag belonging to Milan and 2,000 Milan fans stand.

They came here on an expedition to cheer on the Milan players.

The live DJ at Old Trafford is starting to roll call.

The names of the players appear in the horns of the dome.

As long as it's a Manchester United player, the fans burst into cheers.

On the other hand, it was the Milan players, and the whole stadium booed.

Suker doesn't have much of a problem with that, and it will be too difficult to get cheers and applause away from home, let alone Old Trafford.

At the same time, Suker also noticed that Luka Modric had worn United's number eight shirt.

This is the number of the heart of the midfield!

Obviously, Modric was valued by Ferguson, which gave the No. 8 shirt to Modric.

As for Modric's back number, Suker really didn't pay attention to it before.

You can wear the number 8 shirt on your back, which means that Modric mixes well at Manchester United.

Starting line-ups:

Manchester United (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Edwin van der Sar.

Defenders: O'Shea, Rio Ferdinand, Nemanja Vidic, Patrice Evra

Midfielders: Luka Modric, Carrick, Scholes.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs.

AC Milan (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Dida.

Defenders: Cafu, Nesta, Maldini, Jankulovski.

Midfielders: Gattuso, Pirlo, Ambrosini, Seedorf.

Forwards: Kaka, Suke.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!! ——

Beep beep ~~~~~~

Hush~!!!!!!

Old Trafford was filled with all kinds of sounds, especially in the pre-match period.

Wayne Rooney and Ryan Giggs were already standing in the centre circle waiting for kick-off.

The Milan players are also waiting for a quick impact.

Soon, the referee began to withdraw from the center circle.

At this time, the cheers of the scene became more violent.

Beep!

The moment the whistle blew, United kicked off and the Milan players pushed forward quickly.

"The race is on! In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, Manchester United host AC Milan, both teams have caused a tragedy in the previous leg, and they are both in high spirits, can they continue their form into this game? ”

Suker sped up and rushed towards Modric.

Modric knows Suker very well, and he understands the guy's speed and impact.

After seeing Modric directly kick back the pass, he saw Suker swoop past him.

"That's fast!"

Modric whispered a sigh of emotion, then quickly ran towards another gap.

When Suker was about to attack Rio Ferdinand, the latter directly crossed the ball again to Modric, who ran forward to the open space.

Luka Modric flicked the ball across and completed the pass again before Suker could attack.

Suker continued to chase the ball.

"It's useless to force one person!"

Modric shook his head and continued to run into open space to catch the ball.

He stomped the ball firmly at his feet and looked sideways ahead, while also keeping an eye on Suker with his peripheral vision.

Suke had already stopped, grinning slightly, he knew very well that although Modric was not looking at him, he was definitely still paying attention to himself.

Suker moved a few steps forward, and sure enough, Modric passed the ball.

"Walking the dog!"

Suke shouted angrily.

He spoke Croatian, which only Luka Modric could understand.

However, Modric did not respond and continued to organize the rhythm of the midfield.

Suker also stopped attacking the defensive line, and the opening run was a warm-up.

He made it straight to the backline and Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic were the first to get close in the direction of Suke.

The ball is still at the feet of the Manchester United players.

Luka Modric played with composure, directing the pass and observing it.

Suker could see that Modric's head was constantly bobbing from side to side, and even when he was being pressed, the guy's head was still swinging to observe.

This is also the ability he has developed in the Premier League, and with this ability, he has the confidence to do this kind of operation.

At this moment, Modric suddenly crossed the ball, dodged Kaka's pressing, and at the same time straightened his foot and pumped it fiercely.

The ball slid diagonally towards Milan's half, past Maldini and Jankulovski.

"Be careful!"

Maldini shouted and quickly followed.

At this time, Jankulovski and Ronaldo were already entangled.

In the face of Ronaldo's quick start and speed, Jankulovski defended very badly, but still resisted Ronaldo behind him and passed the ball to Maldini.

It's just that after the pass, Jankulovski also pounced and fell to the ground, obviously Ronaldo brought him great pressure.

The ball came to AC Milan's feet, and Suker and Kaka were left and right, and the two became ready to move.

Pirlo received the ball and spun around, and Giggs tried to follow up on the press, but Pirlo flicked the ball across and got rid of it with ease.

At the same time, Pirlo played a long pass with his feet.

The long ball headed towards the left and fell behind the defender.

Suke started abruptly and quickly followed.

But behind him, Serbian defender Vidic also struggled to follow up.

At the moment when Suker was about to touch the ball, Vidic slammed into Suker hard.

Even Suker had a good sense of the ball, but at this moment he was knocked and flew forward.

Suke slid forward on the lawn, his white jersey dyed green.

He rolled over and sat down on the ground and raised his hand.

But the referee didn't mean to blow the whistle.

"Isn't this pushing people behind your back?" Suke shouted unhappily.

Vidic skimmed past Sook and glared fiercely at Suke.

"What the are you looking at!"

Suke immediately shot back.

Vidic understood.

"Joker, are you only going to fake falls?"

Vidic nudged Suke.

Suke shook his hand and slapped Vidic's cheek at the same time.

Vidic was furious, and he wanted to beat Suk.

But in the next second, he was hugged by Modric.

"Calm down!"

At the same time, Suke was also taken away by Kaka.
