Star Card System

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

Rooney and Carrick performed well in this game and helped the team to capture the city.

When the two left the field, the fans applauded!

Many fans even stood up and applauded!

They knew very well that Rooney and Carrick were really getting less and less.

Especially with such a wonderful performance, they really deserved the title of Manchester United legend.

Three minutes later, Xia Xing was also replaced.

After all, Mourinho must be fully prepared for the upcoming match against Real Madrid.

In the end, the game was also fixed at 3-0.

Manchester United easily defeated Brighton and reached the FA Cup final of this season.

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

Mourinho faced the blue fetters again.

But that was all later. What lay before the Portuguese was a difficult Champions League semi-final.

After defeating Brighton on April 22, the first leg of the Champions League semi-final would be four days later.

Because it was held at Old Trafford, Manchester United had more time to prepare.

On the afternoon of April 24, Real Madrid players flew to Manchester by charter flight.

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

Since they were going out, Real Madrid had to be presentable.

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 normal for someone to visit.

As long as it is not a woman, it will be fine.

As former Tottenham players, Modric and Bale have many friends in Tottenham. Tottenham's relatives and friends came to visit, and several old teammates had a good chat.

Benzema also has many French national team teammates playing in the Premier League, and many people have come to him.

And when he came to Manchester, the most familiar person was naturally Cristiano Ronaldo.

Agent Mendes came first, after all, this hotel was recommended to Zidane by Mendes.

There were also several sponsor representatives, and many friends and relatives of Manchester United came.

However, no Manchester United players came to see him.

It is understandable, after all, the two sides are about to fight, so they still keep some distance.

Xia Xing and others who have a good relationship with him just called or sent messages, but did not come.

But there are exceptions.

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

"Hey, come down and sit down?"

"OK!"

In the cafe on the first floor of the hotel, Ronaldo met Rooney.

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

"Anyway, I was bored, so I came."

"I said you would miss me."

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

"Fxxk!"

"Cao!"

"Huh? What does this Cao mean?"

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

"It's xia, he's really a genius."

"Well, I feel that he has surpassed you and me in the past."

"Just surpassed you, definitely not me."

"Cao!"

The two brothers who haven't seen each other for a long time talked and laughed, looking like they were not doing anything serious.

Now that neither of them represents the identity of players, they have left the team and chatted as ordinary friends, relaxed and at ease.

However, the topic returned to the Champions League.

"The day after tomorrow is the Champions League semi-final, how are you preparing?"

"Are you trying to spy on the military?"

"No need, we will definitely win anyway."

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

"Even your league leader was killed by us, let alone you."

"We are distracted by the Champions League, otherwise we would have defeated Barcelona long ago."

"Haha, wait for Old Trafford to boo you the day after tomorrow."

"Impossible, I will always be a Manchester United fan, and I will always be the child of Manchester United fans."

"Well, I still like to hear this."

"Do I need you to like it? Cut."

"Cao!"

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

"Go away! Cao!"

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

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

"It's a reporter from The Sun."

"You're not mistaken. You still remember them after all these years."

"Of course, they almost made me leave Manchester United."

"It's because you played dirty and gave me a red card. I'm angry just thinking about it, Cao!"

"Come on, don't keep pestering me. Come on, take a photo in front of the camera."

"Get lost! I'm leaving!"

Watching Rooney's departure, Ronaldo muttered to himself.

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

Suddenly feeling a little sad, he returned to the hotel.

Pressing the elevator button, Ronaldo was surprised to find someone inside when the elevator came down.

"Coach Mourinho?"

It was Mourinho in the elevator.

He was also stunned when he saw Ronaldo, but he immediately recovered his expression.

"Hello, buddy, long time no see."

"Are you looking for me?"

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

"Oh, so, then..."

"After chatting, I'm leaving first, bye."

Watching Mourinho leave, Ronaldo found it interesting.

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

Interesting.

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

"Coach, I came to see you."

"Come in and talk."

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

There were data on opponent players, tactical information on the opponent team, and several medical reports.

"You haven't rested yet?"

"After all, we're going to play Manchester United, so I'll make more preparations."

"You're really dedicated."

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

"Everything that seems easy is made up of countless hard work behind the scenes."

"Are you here to see me for something, or just to chat?"

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

"Oh, that's great, you're old partners. Just chat, no need to say hello to me, just don't go out overnight."

"I also saw Mourinho."

"Did you see him?"

"Yeah, we chatted for a few words, and he said he came to see you."

"Indeed, he just left me."

"Did he come to see you for something? Or just to chat?"

"I think he should come to see me and spy on military intelligence by the way."

"Haha, it fits his personality, he's an interesting guy..." (End of this chapter)
