Football King Bale

Ferguson was very confused about the starting lineup for the away game and Dortmund. Of course, what he is struggling with is not the selection of the offensive line, but the selection of the defensive staff, to be precise, the center back.

This season, Manchester United's central defender candidates include Vidic, Ferdinand, Evans, Smalling and Phil Jones. Even Carrick occasionally played as a central defender once or twice. However, except for Ferdinand, who is relatively stable, the other four are pitted one after another.

In fact, Ferguson has basically been swinging between four other central defenders throughout the season, and the game opportunities received by the four are not much different.

Because Manchester United has gone far enough on all fronts, except for Ferdinand, everyone else has received a considerable number of playing opportunities, all around twenty games. Only Ferdinand has made more than 30 appearances.

In the end, after much hesitation, Ferguson sent out a central defender combination of Ferdinand and Smalling. In this way, Bell became the captain on the field again.

Manchester United's starting lineup is goalkeeper De Gea, the four defenders Valencia, Smalling, Ferdinand and Evra, the three midfielders are a combination of Kante, Modric and Sneijder, and the three forwards are unsurprisingly A combination of Rooney, Robin van Persie and Bale. In addition, there are seven generals sitting on the bench, Lindegaard, Vidic, Phil Jones, Carrick, Ashley Young, Giggs and Hernandez.

In the midfielder position, Ferguson still sent Kanter, who was menopausal and more defensively stable.

As for Dortmund, compared to the last quarter-final second leg against Real Madrid, Klopp only made two adjustments to the starting lineup: Hummels replaced Santana who scored the winning goal in the defense. At centre-back, Błaszczykovski replaced Mario Gotze who was absent due to injury.

Klopp arranged a 4231 formation. The goalkeeper is captain Weidenfeller, the four defenders are Piszczek, Subotic, Hummels and Schmelzer, and the double midfielders are Bender and Gundogan. The three forwards on the forward line are Błaszczykovski, Shinji Kagawa and Royce. On the forward line, the Polish Lewandowski is forward.

In the 7th minute, Bender made a steal in the midfield and sent a wonderful pass.
