Chapter 157 The battle of revenge is coming! Home vs. Galatasaray(1/2)
Chapter 157 The battle of revenge is coming! Home game against Galatasaray!
April 29th.
There is one day left before the second leg of the Europa League semi-finals.
Regarding the referee incident in Istanbul in the first round of Galatasaray's home game, UEFA's report has not yet come out.
This made Mourinho and Manchester United's top management restless. They felt that UEFA was perfunctory.
First of all, the Glazer family of Manchester United put pressure on UEFA and World Football Federation. The family leader, Malcolm, went directly to the UEFA chief referee and had a long talk with him for more than an hour.
Then, Mourinho, who was still angry, made phone calls to multiple officials.
In the end, with the efforts of everyone, UEFA was unable to withstand the pressure of external public opinion and took the lead in issuing a statement.
"The referee's certificate of the referee who was on duty during the first leg of Galatasaray's match against Manchester United was revoked and he was summoned to the referee team to give a truthful account of the entire incident."
"Relevant personnel will continue to investigate, and if caught, they will be severely punished!"
"yes."
It's just that in the team's championship battle next year, the midfielder may appear weaker.
Even the leader of Galatasaray's fan organization specifically contacted the Manchester police before the game to ask them to maintain order and not allow Manchester United fans to cause chaos.
"It's over. I'm really afraid. This is someone else's territory."
As long as most of the powerful players are still there, he can rely on his super personal ability to win a big victory at Old Trafford!
Teach these arrogant Galatasaray people a lesson!
But it's definitely not that I don't trust other Manchester United players, I'm just worried about who should be placed in the starting position.
Game day.
"I have been in the industry for so many years, and the most I have heard is that he has a bad relationship with Guardiola."
Mourinho will not allow this kind of player to continue to appear in the team's lineup. Because of what he did, the two people have completely fallen out.
"Is that a normal game day tomorrow?"
"There are very few people who don't break up."
In fact, to be honest, the four of them do get along very harmoniously.
"I feel that there is no possibility of reconciliation. You also know his character. Usually, because we are friends, he is a little more restrained towards us."
"Stop talking nonsense, you should help us both get it first. It seems that the Champions League is so easy to win."
This season, in the absence of Pogba and Fellaini, Manchester United often faces a situation where there is no mainstay in the midfield.
Ibrahimovic analyzed: "But fundamentally speaking, this kid is a thorn."
The first is Rashford and Rooney who received straight reds, and the second is defensive midfielder Fellaini who received a yellow card. Consecutive yellow cards led to suspension.
But it is useless for them to think too much about this kind of thing.
Because Pogba can’t play anymore...
But for some reason, the police today seem to be a little passive and slow in their work.
Ibrahimovic smiled and patted Lu Chenfeng, and everyone's focus gradually shifted from Pogba to other places.
"..."
But Mourinho has become somewhat desperate, and they must use this lineup to face their opponents.
"They also threw things at us on the field. Will they hold back this time?"
But if nothing else, no one wouldn't want a big win over Galatasaray at Old Trafford.
After Pogba left, they felt a little uncomfortable.
However, now that the investigation has been launched, Mourinho believes that none of the subsequent relevant personnel will be able to escape!
Before, they just thought that the matter was over, so they delayed it for about a week!
"That's true."
The more than 20,000 Galatasaray fans who had just got off the plane were walking slowly towards the stadium with their heads lowered and their waists bent, without any plans to cause trouble.
Ibrahimovic agreed.
Referrals to the police are rare.
"Don't make any noise, don't look at them. Let's go our own way. It's their problem if they take action. The media after the game will punish them."
"Okay, stop talking and go to bed early."
The Galatasaray fans who saw this scene immediately regretted it. It seems that the people in Manchester are still very united.
In the end, Mourinho issued an announcement that night about starting the next day.
This is a somewhat sloppy lineup.
"Excuse me? It's only nine o'clock. Why are you going to bed so early?"
Groups of mounted policemen did not appear on the streets, and only some traffic policemen who dispersed traffic were there to maintain order.
"Other positions remain unchanged, Rashford's position will be replaced by Martial, and Rooney's position will be replaced by Mkhitaryan."
"Do you think there is a possibility of reconciliation? Now when I call Pogba, he doesn't answer the phone and he doesn't reply to the text messages. It seems he really doesn't dare to face this."
Lu Chenfeng took advantage of the two of them not reacting and pinched off the TV with one hand.
This act was naturally ridiculed by Manchester United fans.
In this world of desire, no one can guarantee that they will not make mistakes, and most people can't change anything.
"In the attacking midfielder position, I will give young player Kelan a chance. As for the defensive midfielder, Blind will start one game."
They can only fill this hole with some players who rarely play.
They all want to get back all the points they lost in the last game in this game!
Let Galatasaray understand that big clubs like Manchester United are not easy to mess with!
Not only the players of Manchester United know this very well, but the fans also know this.
If he is placed in the starting position, his majesty as a coach will no longer exist.
They all held up signs and shouted, preparing to show off to these ‘friends’ who had come from afar!
"Manchester United will push you to the ground and beat the shit out of you!"
"..."
They have indeed lost some of their edges and do not dare to make the same mistakes as Manchester.
"For a player like Pogba, no matter which club he goes to, the head coach of any club will have a headache for a while."
"Besides, I also made it known in front of the media that I would give them a big victory."
"Go home early! Give up! If you give up, it will only be a three-to-zero score! Avoid falling into a bigger tragedy!"
Ibrahimovic said a little unconvinced: "At least I won't give the coach a headache. He is the kind of thorn that gives the coach a headache."
After Lu Chenfeng learned about this lineup, he didn't feel anything else.
"How can I be considered a thorn in the head?"
Rooney was still watching a movie and said dissatisfied: "Even if we play tomorrow, this doesn't look like your style."
Whether it is Kelan, who was just promoted to the first team this year, starting, or Lafayette Blind, or Mkhitaryan and Martial, who have not played for a long time.
The tickets for the Old Trafford game were snapped up by most Manchester United fans, and the attendance of Manchester United fans directly exceeded 50,000!
There are tens of thousands of Manchester fans wearing red outside the stadium, quietly waiting for the arrival of Galatasaray fans!
Not long after, fans from both sides entered the stadium.
"..."
Rooney nodded and agreed with Ibrahimovic's words, "Although Ibrahimovic is said to be very jumpy, at least he will not cause trouble with the coach."
This also made Mourinho seem a little worried about this game.
This makes it clear that we are going to target them collectively...
In the first round, they defeated their opponents three to one with Lu Chenfeng's hat trick!
But the trouble is, many players will be suspended due to red and yellow cards.
They are all a bit hasty.
I hope that the results achieved this season will allow Mourinho to obtain more transfer budget in the summer transfer window and sign some top midfielders...
"Don't you also have a prick on your head?" Lu Chenfeng laughed and joked beside him.
All they can do is accept this result, protect everything they have now, and attack for higher honors.
Galatasaray fans chatted nervously in low voices, not daring to look up at the Manchester United fans and walked into the stadium silently.
Lu Chenfeng glanced at the two of them and said, "That was a battle of revenge against Galatasaray, two old gentlemen."
To be continued...
