Chapter 252 [-]th Anniversary
With only 2 days left before the start of the game, Manchester United lost Ronaldo, and Rooney, who was attrition non-combat, left only Kesa in the trident.

The difficulty is very high, and this is the first time I have encountered it this season.Of course, with the exception of domestic cup competitions, Ferguson often only uses one trident player in domestic cup competitions.

The only good news is that Saha returned in time to play in the second round against Barcelona.

After training, Ferguson specifically chatted with Kaisa, "C Ronaldo's suspension disrupted our arrangement. In the second round, I will focus on defense."

Ferguson has an offensive factor in his heart. In Kaisa's last life, Manchester United played against Barcelona in 2008 and drew them 0-0 in an away game. Scholes scored a world wave at home, leading the score.

But in both the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals, Ferguson wanted to win the game in an offensive way, otherwise he would have chosen the same tactics as in 2008.Of course, these are all disclosed in Ferguson's autobiography, otherwise Caesar would have no way of knowing what Ferguson was thinking at the time.

Kaisa was quiet for a while, and smiled wryly, "Against Barcelona, ​​it is impossible to keep 1:0. Don't forget the factor of the referee."

"I know that Manchester United should not rely on conservatism to win. This will torture me and the fans will be in purgatory." Ferguson raised his head and looked at the sky with deep eyes. "But this year is different. This year is Munich. The 50th anniversary of the air crash, I want to achieve results, and I want to pay homage to a generation of Manchester United players with the Champions League."

"Yes, I will not let the champion fall by the wayside, I will score goals." Kaisa squeezed out a smile, "I still want to win the Ballon d'Or again!"

Ferguson also laughed, and lightly patted Kaisa on the shoulder, "In this game, I want Fletcher to defend against Messi. What do you think?"

Kai Sa shook his head, "No one can keep up with Messi, his little skills are better than mine, so I can't guard against him."

"However, he is not without weaknesses. He needs space in the middle. We must have enough defenders in the middle to defend Messi to the maximum. Barcelona's central advancement is the strongest in Europe, and we can't match it."

Kai Sa did not belittle himself, let alone be arrogant. Manchester United's ability to advance in the middle is indeed not as good as Barcelona.In terms of the ability to advance in the middle, no one at Manchester United can beat Barcelona's midfielders except him.

Cristiano Ronaldo is strong because of his blasting ability on the side, and no one can defend him. He and Kai Sa form an invincible blasting point, which is Manchester United's greatest reliance.There are rumors among the fan groups: Look at Rooney in good times, Ronaldo in adversity, and Kesa in desperate times.

Ferguson has been listening quietly. He suddenly had an idea. If Kesa becomes the head coach in the future, he will definitely become a magical coach. Let Pique play center forward and Mascherano play central defender. Who would dare to play like this in the semi-finals of the Champions League? ?
"Havi is their starting point of attack. Restricting Harvey is more important than restricting anyone else. This task is given to Saha. Let Fletcher restrict Iniesta, and his breakthrough is equally terrible."

Ferguson nodded, "Your thinking is the same as mine. The center should also be the first line of defense. It may not be needed in other games, but it must be like this when facing Barcelona."

Saha's starting position has been stabilized. Manchester United's frontcourt personnel are in short supply. There is no suspense about his starting position, and Barcelona can also guess.

"Also, our defense must be aggressive, actively defend, and actively look for physical confrontation."

Ferguson nodded again, and Kaisa thought the same as himself again, "This is our starting list, take a look, is there anything else that needs to be added?"

"Neville?"

"He has recovered from his injury, and what he said to the outside world is just a smoke bomb." Ferguson's eyes showed a sly light.

The two laughed at the same time.

The Barcelona plane landed and went to Old Trafford in the afternoon to get used to the venue.They are more nervous than Manchester United, because they lost at home and there is only one way to win away.

If they can't score to win, their fate is to be eliminated.

Rijkaard only allowed more than ten minutes of shooting time for reporters, and then quickly rushed people to prepare tactics.

Barcelona is really anxious. There is no doubt that the pressure of playing away is even greater. They not only have to face Manchester United players, but also tens of thousands of Old Trafford fans.Even veteran football ruffians will perform abnormally, let alone ordinary players.

However, there are many positive factors for Barcelona. They have neat personnel, no suspension, and no injuries.The core players are in full condition. They have just beaten Deportivo 5-1 in the league, and they are catching up with Real Madrid in the standings. The gap between the two teams is only 2 points.

And Manchester United frequently spread bad news, only Kesa remained in the trident, right back Neville could not play, and Carrick and Evra seemed to be injured.

Rijkaard faced reporters, "This season, we still have the hope of winning the championship. Whether it is the league or the Champions League, we are not behind. This game will determine our future. As long as we win away, we will be able to advance to the final of the Champions League , to Moscow."

"As for the issue of Ronaldo's suspension, I think UEFA's approach is correct. The referee is inviolable on the field. Since he attacked the referee, he will be punished, whether it is Ronaldo or others."

"Kesa is still the biggest threat to Manchester United. As long as Kaiser can play, Manchester United will be a championship team. We will not take it lightly. However, we have arranged multiple plans to prevent Kaiser from taking the ball easily."

Harvey said calmly, "In the last game, we lost a goal, which is nothing. We are confident of winning at Old Trafford."

Ferguson took Vidic to attend the conference.

Ferguson was warned by UEFA before the game that he could not talk about the referee, otherwise he would be punished. After the last game, Ferguson discussed the referee's penalty, which led to the public opinion of the fans. UEFA didn't like it very much.

"I can't say too much," Ferguson sneered a few times, "but we are ready. In this game, we will lose Rooney and Ronaldo. This is an unacceptable result. For well-known reasons, I don't need to say more said."

Vidic's declaration is very captain-like, "There is no doubt that Barcelona has the upper hand now, but we hold an away goal. We will fight for the glory of this team."

"This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Manchester United air disaster. The club attaches great importance to this matter. There is no reason for us not to do our best for the game."

After the final preparations, there were no seats left at Old Trafford, and the shouts had already reached the sky before the game started.

Players from both sides play.

In terms of Barcelona, ​​it is still 433 that the offense is the first.

Goalkeeper Valdez, followed by Zambrotta, Puyol, Marquez and Abidal on the back line. The controversial Milito did not play in the last game and sat on the bench.

The midfield three are Yaya Toure, Xavi and Deco.The frontcourt trio had a personnel change to keep up with the previous game. Eto'o did not start. He was replaced by Henry, who partnered with Messi and Iniesta.

Obviously, Rijkaard hopes that Henry can play his state in the Premier League, people block kills, gods block kills gods.

Eto'o sat on the bench depressed, depressed, he wanted to leave.

For Manchester United, when the starting lineup came out, everyone gasped. Why are they all defensive players?Only Kesa and Saha are left as offensive players?
