Star Card System

The outside media was disturbing, but it did not affect Manchester United's fight at all.

For them, this situation is no longer strange.

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

"Yesterday, Xia went to see three former Manchester United players. I allowed it, or arranged it. I wanted to find out about Lukaku's injury and Ashley Young's physical condition through Xia. After all, they will be the starters of the game, they know us too well, and they are our rivals."

In fact, there is no need to explain, the teammates also understand and will not object.

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

However, Solskjaer was also a little puzzled.

Xia Xing, who has always done things properly, why did he face the media so hard this time?

During the training break when he was scouting the site to adapt 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. I am worried that it will affect my teammates, so I just burn the war on myself."

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

After Xia Xing walked away, Perrin 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 in the center of public opinion in order to protect the players is the man's favorite method.

Boss, you really taught a good apprentice...

On August 17, Manchester United defeated Roma, and on August 22, they finally ushered in the final battle of this season.

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

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

Many people are not satisfied with the performance this season.

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

In the evening of August 22, the lights of Cologne were brilliant.

The RheinEnergy Stadium was crowded.

After experiencing a wave of plague, the passion for football completely burned out people's fears and worries.

This stadium is the largest stadium in Cologne and one of the top stadiums in Germany.

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

Because of the World Cup in Germany three years later, the stadium began to be renovated.

Finally, a stadium that can accommodate 50,000 fans was born.

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

In addition to the expansion of the scale and the improvement of the stadium's technology, the style of the stadium also changed dramatically during the renovation.

The Germans changed the layout of the stadium, dismantled the runway and track and field facilities, making it more convenient for fans to watch the game up close.

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

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

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

Greenwood was also very happy: "Yes, it's closer to the fans and I 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 at the stands, the red area occupies a lot.

In addition to the fans of Manchester United and Inter Milan, most of the neutral fans are fans of Cologne.

Cologne's jerseys are red and white, and the red is more conspicuous from a distance.

The stadium is more English, and the fans wear red.

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

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

As the third person in the world recognized by international football today, Xia Xing's strength is unquestionable.

Although there are equally outstanding Neymar, Belgian genius Hazard, and French supernova Mbappe, they are weaker than Xia Xing in both comprehensive strength and honors.

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

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, everyone did not feel strange at all.

Inter Milan entered the stadium five minutes later than Manchester United, which entered the stadium first.

However, when they entered the stadium to warm up, they also received applause from the fans.

This Italian giant is also very popular with the fans.

On the court, several players who have a good relationship greeted each other.

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

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

Ashley Young: "Xia, if I kick 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 shrink in the penalty area and not come out, and I will not see you as much as possible."

Sanchez: "I worry when I think about meeting you. But I will do my best, let's compete on the field."

Rojo and Lautaro Martinez, who are also members of the Argentine national team, greeted each other.

Former Chelsea teammates Matic, Drinkwater and Moses were 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 was introducing the starting players of both sides.

"Today, Inter Milan arranged a 3-5-2 formation,

"This is the lineup that Conte liked very much during the Premier League period,

"The three-back combination is his signature way of arranging troops,

"Goalkeeper Handanovic,

"Three defenders Bastoni, De Vrij, Godin,

"Five midfielders Ashley Young, Gagliardini, Brozovic, Barella and D'Ambrosio,

"Double center forwards Lautaro Martinez and Lukaku.

"On the bench, there are also powerful stars such as Sanchez, Eriksson, Moses, Candreva, etc.

"Inter Milan has no injuries in this game, all the main players are playing, and the lineup is complete.

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

"Goalkeeper De Gea,

"Four defenders Luke Shaw, Rojo, Maguire, Wan Bissaka,

"Double defensive midfielders Matic and B Fee,

"Three attacking midfielders Rashford, Xia Xing, Daniel James,

"Center forward Greenwood.

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

"Compared to Inter Milan, Manchester United has some injuries,

"Main midfielder Fred is absent due to injury, B Fee starts, partnering with Matic in the defensive midfielder position,

"Although Manchester United has been affected by injuries, perhaps because of this adjustment, the offensive power is stronger,

"B Fee has a strong ability to pass threatening balls, and he also has the ability to shoot after advancing.

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