April 11th
The Champions League top 8 battle is finally here, and Manchester United was assigned to the bottom half in the top 8 draw.
The winner between Manchester United and Barcelona will directly face the winner between Juventus and Ajax.
Just yesterday, two games in the top half ended.
Tottenham defeated Manchester City 1-0 at their home court. Why is it said to be a miserable victory?
After Lloris narrowly saved Aguero's penalty kick, Kane was injured!
Yes, their main center is injured.
And the advantage of one goal at home is not safe. It seems that Tottenham may be the first to withdraw from the top four competition.
In another game, Liverpool defeated the Portuguese Super League Lucky Pack 2-0.
Firmino and Keita each scored a goal, basically locking the top four spots.
Now, looking at the continuous influx of Red Devils fans outside Old Trafford, the focus of the second half is about to begin.
Before the game, many reporters found various celebrities to comment on the game.
There was also a good reporter who approached Guardiola after yesterday's Manchester City game and asked him what he thought of tomorrow's game between Manchester United and Barcelona.
Guardiola’s expression was obviously not good-looking: “Well, I generally don’t pay attention to the opponent’s games. For Manchester City, the most important thing now is to pay attention to itself.”
But At this moment, in the Manchester City club, Guardiola asked the club players to watch the match between Manchester United and Barcelona.
He believes that the spirit displayed by Manchester United this season is worth learning from the players.
Another person seemed very interesting. Ibrahimovic said directly when asked by reporters: "I hope the team I played for will win."
The reporter excitedly played the interview, but then he was dumbfounded.
Da Fengxian is a man who has played for Barcelona and Manchester United. It is as if he did not say it.
Then something happened that made the reporter even more dumbfounded. He forgot that Ibrahimovic also played for Ajax and Juventus!
In other words, he hopes that all four teams will win at the same time.
This reporter was completely fooled!
Other celebrities behaved more conservatively. Rooney and others bluntly said that this was a good opportunity for Manchester United to learn and take revenge.
"Playing against stronger teams will make the team grow faster and be more united."
"Of course, we had two Champions League opportunities taken away by Barcelona, and I still I really hope the team can take revenge.”
Although the words are put very euphemistically, this is also the sentiment of most fans.
Messi in 2019 was too strong, ranking first in the Champions League scorer list and La Liga scorer list.
Average per gameThe scoring efficiency of more than 1 goal is abnormal!
But for this game, Manchester United’s pre-match promotional poster specifically chose a scene in which all players appeared together.
Lin Mo stood at the front of the team with his arms outstretched, and behind him were all the players on the roster for this game.
The club portrays Lin Mo as a general who is about to go on an expedition, and their opponent is Barcelona!
The scene came to the home team's locker room at Old Trafford, and Mourinho was giving a final reminder:
"In the midfield, in other non-lethal areas, all Everyone has an obligation to help Kanter. If necessary, never be merciful and directly foul."
This is just one of the episodes, but in the ears of the players, the word Messi appears. too many times.
But Lin Mo, who was sitting in his seat, was always filled with a happy smile. Lukaku poked his arm: "Aren't you nervous?"
Lin Mo smiled and replied: "It's not my first time against Barcelona, so there's nothing to be nervous about."
"But that guy is very perverted, what should I do if I can't stop him?"
Lin Mo looked at Lukaku, who looked a little uneasy: "What should I do?"
The conversation between the two made the surrounding players also focus on them, and Lin Mo was seen grinning and smiling. Horrible: "Then shovel Messi away!"

"Roar——!"
"Hahahaha, shovel Messi!"
"Fuck! Lin, you are my idol, shovel Fly Messi!"
The players' laughter interrupted Mourinho's instructions, and the players shouted catharticly: "Fly Messi!"
"Shovel away Messi!"
Mourinho could only put his hands on his hips helplessly, very speechless.
He didn't know whether his own instructions were more effective or Lin Mo's method was more effective.
Everything can only be said by the game.
On the other side, in the visiting team's locker room.
Valverde also pointed to Lin Mo’s name on the tactical board: “I don’t care which way he plays, I don’t allow him to get past others easily. He will shovel when he needs to. He is currently a threat in the Manchester United team. The biggest player."
"As for Rashford, just push him to the baseline. When there is no shooting angle, this guy will just give up on himself and shoot randomly."
"Also. That Lukaku, as long as Pique doesn't let him turn around, this guy is just a stake." After explaining this, the players began to walk out of the locker room one after another, and Valverde approached Messi: "Pay attention to protection. "Myself, the playing style of the English team is always more brutal than that of La Liga."
Messi just smiled and said nothing.
In other words, there is no need to say anything.
inAfter Barcelona was reversed by Roma last season, he had no interest in this coach.
Comparing tactics and command between Guardiola and his biggest rival Mourinho, the gap is too big.
Therefore, it is better to do it yourself.
As for the head coach or something, the club can just arrange it and put it there.
In 2019, Messi has already become the absolute king of Camp Nou.
It is impossible for any head coach to coach well without Messi's approval. He has stayed in this club for 19 years. Many people have come and gone, but he has always been there.
Such a situation will make a player and a club successful.
But it also limits a player and the club, especially when the player's rights and abilities are too great.
Barcelona could have avoided many tragedies.

"Zhuang TV station!"
"Zhuang TV station!"
As the clock struck 3 a.m. Imperial City time As soon as the sound is heard, this game full of revenge and passion is about to take place.
Red fireworks rose at Old Trafford, and players from both sides began to enter the stadium.
Lao Zhan's voice came from the TV again. This Champions League top 8 matchup was broadcast for free by the sports channel: "Welcome fans and friends to watch the 2018-19 Champions League top 8, Manchester United is sitting in the top 8. Trafford vs. Barcelona"
"I am the special commentator for this game, Lao Zhan."
"I am your pony~"
p>The crisp sound came again, and the fans in front of the TV unconsciously recalled the graceful scene of Xiao Ma wearing a hip-covering skirt just now.
"Manchester United has achieved 2 wins and 4 losses in the previous 6 games, but the two losses were in the Champions League finals in 2009 and 2011."
"In the Champions League, Manchester United has not beaten Barcelona yet."
"Today, all the famous players of Manchester United are also present. Let's see if Manchester United can avenge its past humiliation and win what it once lost. ”
