There is a dream called football

"get out."

Keane returned to the dressing room, Ferguson was out of breath, Gary Neville came over to persuade him, and the rift between Ferguson and Keane finally broke out.

Ferguson's timing was also good. Keane's strength had declined, so it was only natural to send him away.

Ferguson threw his first-choice jersey to Cameroonian Djemba, "You will be the main midfielder in the next game."

The away game is 2-2, which is an advantage for Manchester United, so just don't lose too much at Old Trafford. Ferguson also relies on defense.

In this game, Ferguson plans to send two defensive midfielders in the midfield, one is O'Shea and the other is Djemba.

In addition, Saha's performance was not good, and Ferguson was also preparing to replace Ronaldo in the starting lineup.

The lone forward is Ruud van Nistelrooy, a 4231 formation.

Mourinho also faced off with all his main players, a 4-4-2 formation, and the forward was also replaced, it was McCarthy Gardelre.

For Mourinho, the choice seems to be simple, that is to attack, because 0-0 is meaningless for Porto.

At the press conference, both coaches were present. Many reporters came, filling the press conference hall with more than 100 people.

First of all, the issue that everyone is most concerned about is Keane, because the trouble-making Irishman has gone home, which immediately made the conflict public and made Ferguson very dissatisfied.

"Is there anything wrong if Roy goes home now?"

"No, Roy was absent-minded during training. I asked him to go home and reflect."

Ferguson's move was also to take the initiative. He could not let the media get a first-hand answer from Keane. It must be a first-hand answer given by himself.

Everyone immediately thought of Beckham last year. In Manchester United, Ferguson was the absolute authority. If he fell out with him, he would basically not be able to stay in the team.

"Is Roy leaving in the summer?"

"I can't answer this, and I don't want to say anything about the transfer now, but this time Roy must understand where the bottom line is as a professional player."

"Then who will replace Roy?"

"The list will be announced before the game. I don't want to talk more."

It was Mourinho's turn. The topic in the last game was unavoidable, "Did you admit the failure of your tactics during the game?"

Mourinho laughed and said, "2 to 2, how can we call it a failure? Of course we played a little nervously in the first half. Maybe we respected Manchester United too much. After all, they are the strongest team in Europe."

Mourinho first threw the hat to Ferguson, but the Scot didn't seem to appreciate it and didn't even smile.

"The starting lineup for this game will change, right?"

"I think so." Mourinho didn't finish his words, but even a fool knew what he meant.

The provocative reporter asked: "What do you think of the Keane incident?"

"Haha, this is a trap. This is not my first day out here. I refuse to answer."

There was also laughter at the scene.

*****

At Old Trafford, after 90 minutes or 120 minutes, only one of the two teams can enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season. The winning side will be happy for a long time, while the losing side will feel that the sky is falling.

The Champions League not only involves huge revenue for the team, but more importantly, this stage is the dream of countless people.

The highest honor that can be won at the club level is the Champions League. This is undisputed and is much better than the Champions League.

Li Qiao was warming up in his regular jersey, and Maniche passed the ball to him on the opposite side.

"Fortunately, Jose still let me start."

"Jose actually doesn't want to make a big fuss, so be careful next time."

Maniche's passing power is very powerful, and Li Qiao still needs to adapt. Unlike Deco, he passes the ball too quickly.

Manchester United was also warming up over there. Li Qiao saw Ronaldo doing shooting training, and his right foot hit the goal with such force that Howard couldn't resist it.

But at this time, the focus of Manchester United fans is not on him, but on the bigger players.

Li Qiao also saw an unlucky guy named Fran.

The Uruguayan performed very well later on, especially in the national team, but he seemed to be at odds with Manchester United. His performance at Manchester United was always dull for several years, but Ferguson still put him in the squad for every game.

Forlan was also warming up on the sidelines, showing off his very good footwork. He is looking forward to playing for Manchester United in the Champions League.

At this moment, Baiya patted Li Qiao and said, "Come and help me with some goalkeeping training."

For Baia, it was goalkeeping training, but for Li Qiao, it was shooting training.

Li Qiao flicked his left foot, followed by a volley with his right foot. The ball flew toward the goal like a cannonball. Baiya pounced, but the ball was too tricky and flew into the goal.

Baiya threw the ball to Li Qiao and came again.

This time Li Qiao was preparing for a clever shot, pretending to be a powerful shot, but suddenly his ankle flicked, he found an angle and pushed to the far corner.

But Li Qiao's little move was clearly seen by Baia, and he sided and blocked the ball out of the baseline.

"sharp."

"You looked at the far corner before your ankle changed its movements, so I guessed it."

"Haha, that's it."

After half an hour of warm-up, the players returned to the locker room, and Mourinho made a final mobilization, "We must score at Old Trafford, and not just one."

The player nodded.

"The media said I was wrong in the last game. Well, I admit that I was wrong. We are no worse than Manchester United. We can play against them."

"Get excited." Mourinho pointed at Maniche, "Just like when you went to find a girl."

sweat.

Maniche blushed a little, and everyone laughed inwardly.

On the Manchester United side, Sir Alex Ferguson started in hair dryer mode, "For Manchester United, a season without the Champions League is a failure. Our goal is to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League. Of course, it is best to reach the final."

This is also the player's wish. To join a top club is of course to go further in the Champions League.

"Go ahead, boys, and defeat the Portuguese."

Before the game, the players greeted each other and shook hands. Li Qiao and Ronaldo looked at each other while shaking hands, and then the Champions League theme song played, which was still so exciting.

After taking a group photo, the team dispersed. Li Qiao stood on his right. Today, he was still facing Bart, but the difference was that there was also a Djemba. In his previous life, he played football games, and Djemba was a very good person.

A useful midfielder, just like Makelele.

For Asian players, this kind of dark and tough players are always the most difficult to deal with.

"This game may not be as easy as the last one." Li Qiao thought to himself, and Djemba also looked at Li Qiao. Ferguson had assigned him a task before the game.
