How difficult is it for a team to rebuild?

Moyes knows it best.

In the summer of 2013, Sir Alex Ferguson, the godfather of Manchester United, announced his retirement and left the team.

He handpicked Moyes to join the team.

Many people in the outside world are rumored that Ferguson initially favored Mourinho.

But Magic Bird was determined to return to Chelsea, and Ferguson ultimately had no choice but to settle for the next best thing.

And Moyes, who has never led a wealthy club, has difficulties coaching Manchester United.

Especially for such a complex team,

Dealing with interpersonal relationships is far more complicated than dealing with technical and tactical issues.

In the locker room, the team is full of factions.

After Ferguson left, no one could keep these big-name stars in check.

And his public conflict with Van Persie is well known.

The league has fallen out of the top six, and qualification for the European competition next season is gradually further away.

On the verge of getting out of class, reaching the quarterfinals of the Champions League saved Moyes.

Now Moyes is working hard to grab points in the league while continuing to focus on the Champions League.

However, their opponent is six-time champion Milan.

It is extremely difficult to go further.

It's so difficult for Manchester United this season.

It's been too difficult for Moyes this season.

On the topic of reconstruction, Moyes is very envious of Allegri.

They are also facing reconstruction, but Milan is simply a model of reconstruction.

In the summer of 2012, Milan, which lost many big-name stars and meritorious veterans, was believed by many football experts to be in a trough for a period of time.

But it only took them one season to become a six-time champion team that shocked Europe.

And all this is because of Alegri's good luck.

That's right, it's just good luck.

Because Allegri said this himself.

In the interview, Allegri didn't mince words.

“Milan’s six-time champion,

"The successful reconstruction of Milan,

“It’s more the team’s credit,

"Especially the talented players led by Ming and Long,

"Because of their presence, Milan can rise so suddenly.

"I can become a six-time champion coach,

"It's all because I was lucky enough to meet them."

Yes, Alegre is lucky, he met the Chinese twin stars.

And what about Moyes?

Almost none of the players he wanted came.

As Ferguson's successor, he did not get more trust.

Financial support is also very small.

Among the summer and winter signings, there are only a few players such as Fellaini.

There aren't any big-name players he wants.

This gave Moyes a headache.

As the league progressed, Manchester United suffered frequent injuries.

We were already short of major generals, and now we are even more stretched.

This is true for all leagues, let alone the Champions League?

This Champions League quarter-final is too difficult...

On the evening of April 1, the entire Milan team took a plane to Manchester.

Most of the Milan players are familiar with this city.

Many veterans have played against Manchester United for many years before.

Especially Kaka and Abbiati.

Looking back on the European war with Manchester United, they can always recall some unforgettable games.

Kaká, in particular, had a very unforgettable experience in a game against Manchester United.

That was on April 25, 2007, the semi-finals of the 2007 Champions League.

In the first leg, Milan visited Old Trafford and welcomed the powerful Manchester United.

Rooney scored twice in that game and Cristiano Ronaldo also scored a goal.

Manchester United's strong attacking power makes it very difficult for Milan's somewhat aging midfielder and backfield.

In this case, Kaka stood up.

Two consecutive wonderful goals helped Milan regain two goals.

Especially for the second goal, he dribbled the ball from the midfield alone and penetrated Manchester United's entire defense.

These two away goals also put Milan in a favorable position.

In the end, Milan, who returned home, defeated Manchester United 3-0.

It laid a solid foundation for the final victory.

That game also added another piece of firewood to Kaka's Golden Globe Award.

Compared with the veterans, the young people in Milan are also quite familiar with Manchester United.

De Bruyne and Essien have played against Manchester United many times during their time at Chelsea and have some experience.

The person who is most familiar with Manchester United is Manchester United's former rival in the same city.

As soon as the plane landed, Balotelli started shouting under the night: "The sky in Manchester will always be blue!"

Long Yu glanced at him: "It's black now, not blue."

Balotelli: "Brother, can you give me some face..."

Long Yu: "No, I'm a Manchester United fan."

Balotelli: "Then you will play against Manchester United in two days."

Long Yu: "Between Milan and Manchester United, I choose Milan. But between Manchester City and Manchester United, of course I support Manchester United."

Balotelli: "I suddenly felt bad..."

The teammates laughed.

Balotelli didn't care, he was just minding his own business.

"Manchester United is not good now, the league is playing like shit.

“They are now seventh in the league and Southampton have to overtake them in the next game!

“It’s better to downgrade!”

Long Yu: "As a former Manchester City player, you are really loyal."

Balotelli: "Of course, I have great feelings for Manchester City."

Robinho next to him is also a former Manchester City player, but he did not speak.

Because at Manchester City, his final breakup was somewhat unpleasant.

So he resents Manchester City more.

Check into the hotel and have an early night's rest.

Getting up early the next morning, the Milan team went to Old Trafford to adapt to the field training.

Standing in the middle of the court, Kaka suddenly sighed.

"Manchester United, which was once glorious, began to decline after Sir Alex Ferguson retired.

“The road to reconstruction is really hard to follow.
To be continued...
