Chapter 787 Blue and Black Rivals

The outside media has been harassing, but it has not affected Manchester United's battle at all.

For them, this situation is nothing new.

Before training the next day, Solskjaer took the lead in explaining to the players.

"Yesterday, xia went to meet three former Manchester United players. It was allowed by me, or arranged by me. I wanted to use xia to find out about Lukaku's injury and Ashley Young's physical condition. After all, they will be the game The starter knows us too well and is our fierce rival.”

In fact, there is no need to explain, teammates all understand and will not have any objections.

But as a head coach, you must also speak at this time to prevent special problems from arising.

But Solskjaer was also a little confused.

Why is Xia Xing, who has always done things decently, so tough in the face of the media this time?

During the training break when he was getting used to the venue, he asked Xia Xing alone.

Xia Xing's answer was very simple.

"The team has been in a lot of trouble recently, and I was worried that it would affect my teammates, so I simply turned the flames of war on myself."

Hearing Xia Xing's words, Solskjaer nodded and said nothing more.

After Xia Xing walked, Peilan and Carrick whispered to each other.

"Why does this routine look familiar to me?"

Carrick looked at the blue sky and suddenly felt a little emotional.

This way of putting himself at the center of public opinion in order to protect players is the man's favorite method.

BOSS, you really taught a good apprentice...

After defeating Roma on August 8, Manchester United finally ushered in the final battle of the season on August 17.

The Champions League is more lively, and countless fans are looking forward to it.

But for Manchester United, the Europa League final is their final stage.

Many people are dissatisfied with this season's performance.

But to get here in the Europa League, the Manchester United soldiers have also made great efforts.

On the evening of August 8, the city of Cologne was brightly lit.

There was a huge crowd outside the RheinEnergie Arena.

After experiencing a wave of epidemics, the enthusiasm for football completely burned away people's fears and worries.

This stadium is the largest stadium in Cologne and the top-ranked stadium in Germany.

This was formerly the Mingersdorfer Stadium, which was rebuilt in 2003.

Because of the World Cup in Germany three years later, renovation work began on the stadium.

Eventually a stadium with a capacity of 50,000 fans was built.

In the 2006 World Cup, it hosted many games in the group stage and quarter-finals.

During that renovation, in addition to the expansion of the scale and the improvement of the technology of the course, the style of the course also changed dramatically.

The Germans changed the layout of the stadium and dismantled the track and track and field facilities to make it easier for fans to watch the game up close.

In this way, the stadium is more in the style of an English stadium. During the construction period, the characteristics of Old Trafford, Emirates Stadium and Goodison Park were mainly referenced.

So when the Manchester United soldiers appeared here, they felt very familiar.

"It's great!" Rashford said excitedly, "Playing here is like playing football at home."

Greenwood was also very happy: "Yes, I am closer to the fans and can hear the cheers of the fans better. It feels great!"

For forward players, the excitement of the game is very important and determines their performance to a large extent.

Looking towards the stands, the red area occupies a lot.

Except for fans of Manchester United and Inter Milan, most of the neutral fans are fans of Cologne. Cologne's jersey is red and white. From a distance, the red is more conspicuous.

The stadium is more English-style and the fans wear red.

In today's game, Manchester United seemed to be playing at home.

Warming up on the court, Xia Xing received cheers and applause from the Cologne fans.

As the world's third player recognized in today's international football, Xia Xing's strength is beyond doubt.

Although there is the equally outstanding Neymar, the Belgian genius Hazard, and the French supernova Mbappe, they are weaker than Xia Xing in terms of overall strength and honor book.

As a leader-level star who has twice created miracles at Leicester City and Manchester United, Xia Xing has considerable appeal in today's international football world.

In the comments of many experts, it is only a matter of time before Xia Xing surpasses Messi and Ronaldo.

Therefore, when Cologne fans expressed their welcome to Xia Xing with applause, no one found it strange at all.

Inter Milan was five minutes later than Manchester United, who entered the game first.

But when they came in to warm up, they also received applause from the fans.

This Serie A giant is also very popular among fans.

On the court, several players with good relationships said hello.

For example, Xia Xing and Inter Milan's "Manchester United Gang".

"Hello, guys." Xia Xing smiled, hugged and high-fived the three of them.

Ashley Young: "Xia, if I hit you hard in this game, don't blame me."

Xia Xing: "It doesn't matter. If I tackle Lukaku and knock Sanchez away, don't blame me."

Lukaku: "Then I will stay in the penalty area and stay away from you."

Sanchez: "I feel worried when I think about meeting you. But I will try my best to compete on the court."

Rojo, who is also a member of the Argentina national team, greets Lautaro Martinez.

Former Chelsea team-mates Nemanja Matic, Drinkwater and Moses are also very friendly.

At this time, in the live broadcast room of Sky TV, a pair of old partners were also chatting about the game.

Alan Shearer is introducing the starting players from both sides.

“Today Inter Milan formed a 3-5-2 formation.

“This is the lineup that Conte liked very much during his Premier League days.

"The three-back combination is his signature formation.
"Goalkeeper Handanovic,

"The three defenders Bastoni, De Vrij and Godin,
"The five midfielders are Ashley Young, Gagliardini, Brozovic, Varela and D'Ambrosio.

“Double center forward Lautaro Martinez and Lukaku.

“On the bench, there are also powerful stars such as Sanchez, Eriksen, Moses, Candreva.

“Inter Milan did not have any injuries in this game, all the main players played, and the lineup was complete.

"Manchester United still has a 4-2-3-1 formation.

"Goalkeeper De Gea,

"The back four of Luke Shaw, Rojo, Maguire and Wan-Bissaka,
"Double defensive midfielder Matic and B Fee,
"The three attacking midfielders are Rashford, Xia Xing, and Daniel James.
"Center Greenwood.

"Lingard, Drinkwater, McTominay, Ighalo and other players are on the bench ready to go.

"Compared to Inter Milan, Manchester United has some injuries.
"The main midfielder Fred is absent due to injury, and B Fee starts, partnering with Matic in the defensive midfield position.
"Although Manchester United has been affected by injuries, perhaps because of this adjustment, the offensive power is stronger.

“B Fei is very capable of passing and threatening the ball, and he also has the ability to shoot after running forward.

"I predict that there may be an offensive battle between the two sides in this game..." (End of Chapter)
