On the evening of April 3, the Old Trafford Stadium was filled with people.

Manchester United's performance has declined this season, but the fans' enthusiasm is still high.

Outside the stadium, countless fans in red cheered and jumped as if they had won the game.

full of expectation.

The bus drove towards the stadium, and the Milan players in the bus looked at the opponent fans under the bus.

Feeling.

De Bruyne pointed out the window: "These Manchester United fans are very excited."

Balotelli curled his lips: "Why are they excited? Because the league is out of the question, so they are looking forward to the cup."

Long Yu nodded: "Well, it's similar to the situation in Manchester City."

Balotelli: "Why?"

Long Yu: "Man City is out of the Champions League and can only look forward to the league."

Balotelli: "..."

Milan players are entering the stadium and Manchester United players are already warming up on the court.

As a home game, they are as excited as the fans today.

Old captain Giggs and midfield partner Carrick interact and pass the ball.

"Man, what did you think of today's game?"

"It's definitely not easy to play. Milan is too strong now, even comparable to when we won the Triple Crown."

"Yes, especially the Chinese twin stars, they are really incomprehensible."

"There is also little Kaka. Oh, by the way, he is already the old Kaka. His European experience is very important to Milan."

"De Bruyne is also good and very talented. It would have been better if he had been lured to Manchester United."

"In short, we must be careful in this game."

Not far away, several Manchester United defenders were also chatting.

Old partners Ferdinand and Vidic are stretching their limbs.

"In today's game, we must be under a lot of pressure."

"Yeah, that big forward is really annoying, too strong."

"Well, if he were a few years younger, I wouldn't be afraid of him, but now I am old and my health is not good."

"You'll still be blocked in a while. I'll take over and won't give him a chance."

"no problem!"

While practicing and chatting, they saw Milan players coming out to warm up.

Almost no one on the two sides said hello, after all, there was no personal relationship.

Of course, it's not unfamiliar at all.

For example, Manchester United midfielder Fellaini has a good relationship with De Bruyne.

De Bruyne was selected for the Belgian national team early, and the two compatriots were a bit hypocritical.

"Kevin, it's nice to see you here."

"Marouan, I'm glad to see you too."

"To be honest, I suggested to the Manchester United management to sign you at the end of last year, but Milan made the move first."

"Thank you for speaking for me."

"Although I am sorry that Manchester United has lost a talented player, I am really happy for you to see that you are going so well in Milan."

"I'm excited about the opportunity for us to play against each other in this game."

"Me too!"

"Come on, good luck!"

On one side of the court, Long Yu looked at the Manchester United players on the opposite side in a daze.

Chang Ming poked him: "Why, did you betray Xiang Linshang?"

Long Yu: "I didn't!"

Chang Ming: "I know very well how you feel about Manchester United."

Long Yu: "It's okay, I won't be merciful for a while."

Chang Ming: "That's good, just wait for me to pass the ball to you."

On the sidelines of the court, Allegri and Moyes were also chatting.

What to talk about?

Let’s talk about the rebuilding of the team...

More than half an hour later, players from both sides returned to the locker room to make final preparations.

In the live broadcast room, the commentator was introducing the list of players from both sides.

"Allegre's idea is probably the same as last time,

"Wanting to capitalize on their familiarity with Manchester United from their time at Chelsea,

"Manchester United is in the transition period between old and new, and it is still difficult for newcomers to take over.

"Ferdinand, Vidic, Giggs,

"The combined age of the three of them is over a hundred years old.

"You still have to start in such a championship game,

"Manchester United should really learn from how Milan rebuilt quickly.

"But it's also difficult,

"After all, there are only such a pair of twins in China.

"Even though this game is at home,

"Manchester United is still very difficult..."

You are right that it is very difficult for Manchester United to win.

Although this statement made many Manchester United fans unhappy, it is true.

After the game started, Manchester United fans felt this even more.

Players from both sides enter the court, the referee's whistle sounds, and the game begins!

Long Yu and Balotelli passed each other and quickly rushed towards the Manchester United penalty area!
