Monaco players held the caddies and Manchester United players walked into Old Trafford Stadium with their heads held high and their chests were full of confidence.

Old Trafford, which can accommodate more than 70,000 people, was full, and the cheering momentum began to soar when the players entered the court!

Situ Yunbing stood on the sidelines and his heart was beating like thunder. It was not because of his nervousness, but because of his hustle and bustle of the court were like thunder slamming in his ears.

In an instant, Situ Yunbing felt the pressure brought by this stadium!

He frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal color.

This invisible pressure is a truly veritable home court advantage!

And it's something Monaco has never experienced before!

The Bernabeu is big, bigger than Old Trafford, but the fans in the Bernabeu stadium cannot create this deafening sound effect!

The cheering wave of Premier League fans has been felt at Stamford Bridge Monaco, but because that game was just Monaco and Chelsea competing for the first place in the group, neither team had the worries of qualifying. At the same time, because Stamford Bridge is nearly half smaller than Old Trafford!

The previous second I felt that I was the protagonist, but at this moment Situ Yunbing felt that he had really entered a strange world full of hostility!

It is conceivable how his players would feel. They must have never experienced such a situation. Situ Yunbing had to make gestures to the players after they lined up and pressed them down with one hand, signaling everyone to keep calm!

Keep your breath and never be affected by Manchester United's home power.

But it will inevitably be difficult to do this.

"Good evening, everyone, everyone, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals starts today. We will broadcast live to explain the Red Devils Manchester United's match against Monaco at home at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester.

The Champions League has reached the quarterfinals. It is not surprising that traditional giants Manchester United enter the quarterfinals. However, Monaco defeated Real Madrid at home and away doubles in the previous stage but it is surprising enough to advance to the quarterfinals.

Ferguson warned the team not to be contemptuous of Monaco before the game. Situ Yunbing also said before the game that he looked forward to a great game. Today, the confrontation between the two teams is quite interesting. Manchester United was the champion of the UEFA Champions League in 2008 and the runner-up in 2009. Monaco returned to the Champions League many years later. Will the battle between Lake lǎo and the new representatives cause huge waves?

Haha, I believe many fans are looking forward to it.

Today, Manchester United has all the elite players at home.

Goalkeeper: Van der Sar.

Defenders: Gary Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra.

Midfielder: Park Ji-sung, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes.

Forward: Rooney, Nani.

Monaco is starting today, and also in a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Modesto, Benatia, Vertonheng, Moreau.

Midfielders: Witsel, Perez, Nkuru, Matic.

Forward: Suarez, Gareth Bale.

Let's see what kind of sparks the two teams will intertwin in Old Trafford today!”

The game officially began with the referee's whistle.

Manchester United, who took the lead in the kick-off, quickly launched an offensive. Carrick passed the ball in the middle circle on the left, Evra quickly inserted the ball and rushed over Vitesel. Vitesel just turned around and chased back two steps, but Evra hit the ball across the middle. Scholes took the initiative to respond, Perez snatched up, Scholes knocked the ball back diagonally. While Carrick followed up, he got rid of Suarez's follow-up defense and passed the ball to the middle in front of the penalty area with a straight pass.

Rooney was originally in the encirclement, but took the initiative to retreat quickly and cooperated with Carrick's passing opportunity just right. After he dribbled and took the initiative to retreat for 5 yards, Park Ji-sung killed him, and Rooney passed the ball lightly.

Park Ji-sung dribbled into the middle of the penalty area, Nkuru and Benatia attacked him, but before the space was compressed, Park Ji-sung hit the ball across the left.

Nani cut across and went to the left in front of the penalty area, adjusted with one step, and suddenly shot!

The football flew straight to the upper right corner in the middle of the goal, and De Gea jumped into the ball with one hand to block the ball in the penalty area.

Vertonghen returned to the front area, but Rooney broke into the penalty area to form a counterattack, Vertonghen still pushed the ball out of the bottom line to be safe.

Old Trafford was shocking. In this first wave of offensive just now, Manchester United showed excellent form and team cooperation.

Unlike Barcelona's pass control to find the opponent's defensive flaws, Manchester United's fast pass and cut cooperation is to constantly impact the opponent's defense line to create pressure on the opponent. If the opponent cannot withstand it, Manchester United will seize the opportunity.

Fans often criticize Premier League teams for their rough footwork skills, and Manchester United is also a team with some players' skills that are not delicate enough, but they may be the best team in European football in terms of fast transmission and cooperation in the three-person group. The routine is very simple, that is, tore open the opponent's defense line in a fast pace!

After the opening, Monaco still faced the game in the way they were good at, shrinking their defenses and stabilizing their defense.

However, Manchester United continued to attack without any breathing, and Monaco's sporadic counterattack did not pose a threat.

In the 5th minute of the game, Manchester United attacked from the right side of the frontcourt. Park Ji-sung pulled the side and then spiked the ball and turned into the inside line after Morro pressed. When Morro followed the defense, Park Ji-sung blocked the ball in front of the bottom line on the right side.

Gary Neville rushed up quickly and passed the ball in front of the baseline.

The football fell into the middle of Monaco's penalty area. Rooney was squeezed away by Benatia in the competition. The cleared football fell at Nkuru's feet. He quickly passed the ball to Matic. The latter just stopped the ball and saw Scholes blocking him, so he knocked the ball across to Perez. The latter directly instigated a long pass to the left of the frontcourt. Fletcher assisted in the defense on the wing and grabbed it when Gareth Bale stopped the ball.

Unexpectedly, Gareth Bale dribbled faster at his feet, Fletcher quickly pursued, and Gareth Bale was intercepted by Ferdinand when he just opened the distance from Fletcher.

While Ferdinand rushed over with great momentum, he stretched his legs and broke the ball, he seemed to be about to knock Gareth Bale to the ground!

Gareth Bale dodged when he saw that the ball was lost. Even so, he was touched by Ferdinand and lost his balance and rolled on the ground.

Manchester United fans made a buzzing sound at the scene, and a large number of fans shouted to Gareth Bale in a mocking tone: "Unlucky guy! Unlucky guy!"

Gareth Bale, who has been working hard in the Premier League in the past few years, will naturally not be intimidated by the attacks of Red Devils fans. But if he can face the game with a calm mind, he may need to practice for a few more years, especially since he has been very smooth this season, he will be a little angry when he is ridiculed by Manchester United fans.

It doesn’t matter if you’re angry, as long as you’re not scared, that’s fine.

Carrick cooperated with Fletcher in the middle of the backcourt and got rid of Suarez's pressing and harassment. He suddenly made a long pass in the middle circle.

Nani pulled the ball to the extreme and successfully responded. Then he pretended to cut inside while dribbling down the ball, so Modesto dared not move. Then he passed the ball down the bottom. Rooney was entangled by Vertonheng when following up in the middle. De Gea abandoned the goal and took the lead and jumped and hit the ball out of the penalty area.

Perez was pressed by Carrick as soon as he stopped the ball, and he quickly transferred the ball to Witsel.

Before touching the ball, Witsel noticed that Evra was rushing towards him. Suarez and Gareth Bale were a little far away from him. He wanted to dribble away from Evra and find a more stable pass route.

But when he touched the ball and changed direction, Evra just stretched out her legs and destroyed the ball to the middle.

Carrick took the initiative to go forward to control the ball, and then hit the ball across the right when Perez robbed it.

Fletcher strided forward and dribbled forward to the offensive. Matic intercepted head-on, but Fletcher sent the ball diagonally to the middle of the penalty area.

Rooney specifically squeezed away Nkuru before receiving the ball, then pulled the ball and changed direction and sent a pass.

Park Ji-sung quickly stepped forward and entered the right rib of the penalty area and shot in the air against the falling football!

The football flew straight to the near corner of the goal, and De Gea made a save in a hurry. When the popular Devils fans were ready to celebrate, De Gea blocked the ball!

call!

The Red Devils fans sighed, and Situ Yunbing's face looked a little ugly.

It was almost 10 minutes before Monaco not only failed to gain a foothold on the away game, but instead performed more and more flustered!

The Red Devils' opening and closing style of Manchester United has caused Monaco to enter the game and be disconnected from the rhythm on the basis of the continuous fast pace and no decline trend!

If you want to talk about how exquisite Manchester United's playing style is in terms of technique and tactics, it means that you can tell lies with your eyes open, short passes, long passes, and combination of sides and middle. Manchester United's playing style is actually very conventional and traditional!

Whenever Manchester United experiences a trough, people always talk about Ferguson's tactics should be improved and the advanced European style should be imitated. However, British football has its own pride. In their eyes, there are two types of football styles, one is the British style, that is, their own style, and the other is the European style!

Before Wenger took over Arsenal, the tradition of British football was absolutely unified and similar in the Premier League. After Mourinho took over Stamford Bridge, the degree of European style invasion of Britain became increasingly higher.

What is the European style?

As long as it is not the style of English football, any style other than European style.

Manchester United has never tried four consecutive championships in the Premier League, and three consecutive championships are the limit. During the trough without a championship, Ferguson still insists on some traditional elements.

Active confrontation, efficient short pass cooperation, and fast offense and defense sound basic, but by practicing these abilities to the extreme, they will often form strong combat power.

Situ Yunbing did addition and then subtraction. Ferguson also tried to do addition. When he introduced Perron, he wanted to try to take the European style route, but it ended in failure. Ferguson stopped to make trouble and insisted on doing perfection in the field he was familiar with!

So Manchester United's lineup is often like this: a few stars and a few ordinary players.

Let’s say that Manchester United’s lineup is luxurious, there are indeed stars.

It’s hard to say that the lineup is top-notch, but it doesn’t count no matter how hard it is.

Just like Fletcher, Park Ji-sung, and Nani, players like him put them in a giants of the same level as Manchester United. Not to mention playing as the main players, they are in a substitute.

But they can play a combat power beyond people's perception of them at Manchester United!

This reflects Ferguson's wisdom and ability to manage and build the team. He can also turn stones into gold by practicing simple things!

Situ Yunbing once again made a move to press down on the sidelines to stabilize the team.

But Manchester United's attitude today is "looking on life and death indifferently, and do it if you don't agree!" It really makes Monaco really have no chance to take a breath, let alone gain a foothold!
Chapter completed!
