Star card system

In the 65th minute of the game, Mourinho replaced two veterans.

In this game, Rooney and Carrick performed well and helped the team defeat the city.

When the two came off the field, the fans in the audience burst into applause!

Many fans even stood up and applauded!

They know very well that now Rooney and Carrick really have to watch one less game.

Especially with such a wonderful performance, he really deserves the title of Manchester United legend.

3 minutes later, Xia Xing was also substituted.

After all, he is about to face Real Madrid, and Mourinho must be fully prepared.

In the end, the game was settled at 3-0.

Manchester United defeated Brighton to reach this season's FA Cup final.

Their opponent in the final was Chelsea, who had stumbled to the final stage.

Mourinho faces the blue bond again.

But that's all for later. What's before the Portuguese now is a difficult Champions League semi-final.

The victory over Brighton on April 4 was the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals four days later.

Because it is played at Old Trafford, Manchester United can have more time to prepare.

On the afternoon of April 4, Real Madrid soldiers took a charter flight to Manchester.

In a five-star hotel not far from Old Trafford, Real Madrid booked two floors of rooms and an indoor gym.

Since going out, Real Madrid must have a card.

Although Zidane set rules for the players and did not allow them to go out to meet friends, he did not refuse the players' friends to visit.

After all, many people in the team have many friends in England, and it is only natural for people to come to visit.

Just don't be a woman.

As former Tottenham players, Modric and Bale have many friends in Tottenham. A group of Tottenham relatives and friends came to visit, and several old teammates had a good time chatting with each other.

Benzema also has many French national team teammates playing in the Premier League, and many people are looking for him.

When I came to Manchester, the person I knew the most was naturally Cristiano Ronaldo.

Agent Mendes was the first to come. After all, Mendes recommended this hotel to Zidane.

Several sponsor representatives also came, as did many relatives and friends from Manchester United.

But no Manchester United players came to see him.

It is also understandable, after all, the two sides are about to fight, and it is still because of keeping some distance.

Xia Xing and others, who had a good relationship, only called or sent messages but did not come.

But there are exceptions.

That night, some Manchester United players came to visit Ronaldo.

"Dude, come down and sit down?"

"OK!"

Ronaldo met Rooney in the coffee shop on the first floor of the hotel.

"Wayne, I didn't expect you to come see me so late."

"I was bored anyway, so I came over."

"I told you you would miss me."

"I don't miss you, I just want to spy on the military situation."

"Fxxk!"

"Cao!"

"Huh? What does this Cao mean?"

"It means swearing in Chinese. I learned it from my little brother. It's more powerful than Fxxk."

"That's right, he's really a genius."

"Well, I feel better than you and I did back then."

"It's just more than you, definitely not more than me."

"Cao!"

The two brothers, who had not seen each other for a long time, were chatting and laughing, looking like they were not doing their best.

Now neither of them represent players. After leaving the team, they just chat as ordinary friends, relaxed and comfortable.

But after all the talk, it still comes back to the Champions League.

"The day after tomorrow is the Champions League semi-finals. How are you preparing?"

"Are you spying on military intelligence?"

"No need, we can definitely win anyway."

"Don't be so confident, your lineup is far worse than ours."

"We even eliminated you at the top of the league, let alone you." "We were distracted from the Champions League, otherwise we would have defeated Barcelona long ago."

"Haha, just wait until the day after tomorrow at Old Trafford to boo you."

"No way, I will always be a Manchester United fan, and I will always be the child of a Manchester United fan."

"Well, I still like to hear this."

"Do I need you to listen to it? Yep."

"Cao!"

"No more talking, I'm going back. I have to train hard tomorrow and try to get closer to the ball in the game."

"Get out of here! Cao!"

The two got up and left, and Rooney was leaving too.

Ronaldo sent Rooney out of the hotel, and the paparazzi outside the door immediately rushed to take pictures.

"It's a reporter from The Sun."

"You're not wrong, you still remember them after all these years."

"Of course, they almost forced me to leave Manchester United back then."

"Isn't that why you tricked me and got me a red card? Just thinking about it makes me angry, Cao!"

"Come on, don't keep pestering me. Come on, come on, take a group photo with the camera."

"Get out of here! I'm leaving!"

Looking at Rooney's leaving figure, Ronaldo murmured to himself.

"Wayne, if you leave Manchester United next season, then these two games may be our last chance to compete..."

Feeling suddenly sad, I returned to the hotel.

After pressing the elevator button and waiting for it to come down, Ronaldo was surprised to find someone inside.

"Coach Mourinho?"

It was Mourinho in the elevator.

He was also stunned for a moment when he saw Ronaldo, but he immediately regained his expression.

"Hello buddy, long time no see."

"Are you coming to find me?"

"No, no, no, it's not appropriate to look for the opponent's players before the game. I came here to say hello to Zidane. After all, we are old acquaintances."

"Oh, so, then..."

"I'm done talking. I'm leaving now. Bye."

Watching Mourinho leave, Ronaldo found it interesting.

That night, the Manchester United captain and coach all came to the hotel where Real Madrid was staying.

interesting.

Taking the elevator upstairs, Ronaldo did not go back to his room, but went to find Zidane.

"Coach, let me see you."

"Come in and talk."

Ronaldo walked into Zidane's room and saw a lot of information on his table.

There are statistics on opponent players, tactical information on the opposing team, and several medical reports.

"You haven't rested yet?"

"After all, we are going to play Manchester United, so make more preparations."

"You are so dedicated."

"Haha, it's hard to say whether I'm dedicated or not. Anyway, everyone says I'm a metaphysic."

“Everything that seems easy is made up of countless hard work behind it.”

"Did you come over to see me for anything, or just have a chat?"

"I just went downstairs and chatted with Rooney for a while, and he came over to see me."

"Oh, that's good. You are old partners. Let's talk casually. You don't need to say hello to me. Just don't go out for the night."

"I also saw Mourinho."

"Did you see him?"

"Well, after chatting for a while, he said he came to see you."

"Indeed, he just left me."

"Did he come to see you for something? Or did he just have a casual chat?"

"I think he came over to see me and spy on the military."

"Haha, it fits his character. He is an interesting guy..." (End of Chapter)
