[0540 chapter] The second round asks for a monthly ticket and

Manchester media celebrated Manchester United's championship victory not for too long, because the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is approaching, and the whole of Manchester has begun to enter the Champions League time!

After creating the most magical reversal in the history of the Champions League final in 1999, Manchester United's best record in the last seven seasons was only the semi-finals, and even failed in the group stage last year.

For Sir Ferguson, who is arrogant and always wants to surpass Liverpool, Manchester United's record in the Champions League cannot satisfy him.

After all, after the Istanbul Miracle in 2005, Liverpool has won 5 Champions League titles, second only to Real Madrid and AC Milan, and is the third most championship team in European history.

In comparison, Manchester United, which has won the championship just twice, seems too shabby. Even Nottingham Forest has experienced the Champions League twice, and the down-and-out Eredivisie Ajax even won the championship three times.

This season, Manchester United's strong rise has made Sir Ferguson have ambitions for the Champions League. Now that the team is in good shape, he naturally won't miss this opportunity.

The league sent a substitute lineup to participate in two consecutive rounds. Sir Ferguson's attention to the Champions League can be imagined. Therefore, four days before the start of the second round, Manchester United began closed training again and prepared for the game with all their might.

It is precisely because of the team's attention that Manchester began to enter the Champions League time on Sunday, and the entire city was shrouded in the atmosphere of the Champions League.

The Champions League posters, banners and advertisements can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Promotional videos shot by Gu Fei, Ronaldo and others for the Champions League have also become popular content in major shopping malls in Manchester. Many residents also hang the flags of the team's Champions League in their own yards.

After dominating the Premier League, Manchester United fans naturally hope that the team can perform better in the European arena, and will naturally give the team greater support.

Television, newspapers and other media have focused on the upcoming Champions League matches. The reporters who support Manchester United are naturally looking forward to the scene of Manchester United winning all over the Champions League, and this wish may indeed be realized this year.

Compared with Manchester media's confidence, the Italian media is a bit low-key, because Roma lost at home in the first leg, and AC Milan is not very sure of playing against Bayern. However, the Italian media emphasize AC Milan's Champions League genes, believing that Ancelotti's team has enough spiritual strength to win the second leg; as for Roma, the media of Eternal City puts their hopes on Totti, after all, the Roman prince has always led the wolves to do some unexpected events over the years.

However, Totti looked serious when interviewed by the media. After all, Manchester United gave Roma an unforgettable memory at the Rome Olympic Stadium. Totti was not very sure about the second leg of the game.

…………

When Roma's special plane landed at Manchester International Airport, Manchester officially entered the Champions League time, hundreds of media flocked to the football city, and the Champions League became the hottest topic in people's mouths.

Meanwhile, more than 20,000 Roman fans followed the team's expedition. Although only half of them bought tickets to watch the game on site at Old Trafford Stadium, this did not prevent their support for the team.

For fans, come with the team thousands of miles to prove that their hearts are with the team, and the winners and losses are left to the players and God on the field.

Tickets for the Champions League have obviously become the most popular product on Manchester in recent days. Near Old Trafford Stadium, you can often see all the signs for buying tickets, and on the Internet, various purchasing information is emerging one after another.

Of course, the second-hand scalper ticket market is also mixed with scammers, and in order to reduce the losses of fans, Manchester United Club also reminds fans not to buy tickets from unknown channels through various channels.

At present, Manchester United has delivered 76,000 tickets to Old Trafford Stadium through official channels. Even if Gu Fei wants to free up new tickets, it is no longer possible.

In order to meet the needs of Manchester United fans as much as possible, Manchester United and Manchester Municipal Government announced that large-screen viewing areas will be opened in many squares across the city, and live broadcasts will be broadcast to fans at the same time.

Manchester City fans watched the city's arch-rivals waiting for the arrival of the Champions League with joy. It would be fake to say that they didn't envy them.

Unfortunately, Manchester City has been established for nearly a century and has few opportunities to enter the European game, not to mention high-level matches like the Champions League knockout stage.

The neighbor's prosperous and happy life undoubtedly greatly stimulated the psychology of Manchester City fans, which also cleared many obstacles for subsequent acquisitions.

With the precedent of Chelsea's rise, England fans shouted not to sell the club to overseas investors, but once good things really come, no one will reject the rich new boss!

The development history of Chelsea and Manchester United has proved to the outside world the huge role of capital in the football field. If you want to gain a foothold in European football these days, you must not have money.

Gu Fei did not realize that the gold and dollar football storm he had set off in European football has gradually reversed the views of European fans on overseas capital, and the so-called tradition is not worth mentioning in the face of great honor.

…………

On April 11, 2007, at 3 pm Manchester time, fans wearing Manchester United and Rome's uniforms appeared near Old Trafford Stadium one after another. They were all fans who were eager to come to this football temple to check in and take photos.

Compared with the later mobile Internet era, fans today can only record their every move through digital cameras. The few mobile phones that can take pictures are still one million pixels, so there is basically no point in sight.

Many Rome fans who came from afar enjoyed Manchester style before the game because they knew that when the game started, maybe they wouldn't be in such a good mood.

Manchester United's outstanding performance at the Olympic Stadium in Rome made many Rome fans realize that their team is not the opponent of this Manchester United team. Although emotionally, Rome fans hope that Rome can eliminate Manchester United and enter the Champions League semi-finals; however, reason tells Rome fans that such a wish is difficult to realize!

Since this is the case, it is better to enjoy this trip to Manchester City. As for whether the team can advance, everything will be found out after the game is over.

For this Champions League match, Manchester police were also facing a big enemy. As early as the morning of the 11th, they began to ban the sale of restaurants and bars around Old Trafford Stadium, and even alcoholic beverages were not sold.

You should know that English fans are not vegetarians, and Italian fans are not fuel-efficient. Just in case, you should make arrangements early.

The Hiwayser tragedy that year greatly damaged Liverpool's vitality. Now it is the grand era of the Premier League, and England does not want a good situation to be ruined.

In fact, England is well aware that with the fluctuations of the world economy in recent years, the English economy has begun to enter a downward channel, and only the football industry has become one of the most promising business cards in England.

Therefore, it has become a consensus among England that all efforts to organize various football events, and no one can destroy the overall situation.

In the next 15 years, the Premier League will flourish, and the broadcasting revenue and advertising revenue generated every year will be worth billions of pounds. This will not only become the business card of the English economy, but also become one of the few highlights of the English economy.

Just like the Royal Navy back then, when the English were determined to do something well, they still had the chance to do it well.

…………

Chinese fans who are far away from the East are still going to and from get off work normally today. After dinner, there are still five or six hours left before the start of the game.

The huge time difference makes it the biggest difficulty for Chinese fans to watch the Champions League, and they have to continue working and class the next day, which is extremely unfriendly for office workers and student parties. However, when they think of seeing Gu Fei galloping across the Champions League, Chinese fans feel that all the hard work is gone.

Gu Fei won the League Cup and Premier League championship in a row, and he is likely to win the Premier League’s top scorer, best midfielder and best player. This is the highest personal honor of Chinese players in European football. However, if Gu Fei wants to win the Golden Ball Award and World Footballer, his performance in the Champions League is crucial. After Gu Fei’s glory in the first three games, all fans are looking forward to his better performance in his fourth Champions League game!

Starting from 10 o'clock in the evening, the Champions League special program began, introducing the focus battle of the quarter-finals to fans across the country and analyzing the prospects of Manchester United.

When a superstar appeared among Chinese players, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans was completely stimulated. Once the program was broadcast, the ratings soared, and in a very short time, it became the ratings champion!

The two bigwigs, Sha Tong and Zhang Bin, personally hosted the show, imitating the "Big Feast" of the World Cup, introduced the show to the fans, which shows the grandness.

…………

With two hours left before the game officially began, Manchester United and Roma left the hotel they stayed at almost the same time and headed to Old Trafford Stadium.

At this time, the live broadcast footage of aerial helicopters and various media outlets followed the figures of the two teams, spreading the scene of their departure to the stadium to every corner of the world.

Tonight, in addition to the match between Manchester United and Roma, the showdown between Chelsea and Valencia is also very eye-catching. After all, if Chelsea really falls at the foot of the Bats, Mourinho's position as coach may be unstable.

At the same time, Old Trafford Stadium has also begun to open the entrance access channel for fans, and tens of thousands of fans entered the stadium in an orderly manner under the guidance of security personnel.

The teams of the two teams arrived at the stadium almost at the same time. Both sides got off through the passage of about 100 meters and entered the stadium amid the cheers of their fans. The smell of gunpowder in the air suddenly became rich.

Originally, there was no grudge between the two teams, but in the last game, Gu Fei's hat trick at the Rome Olympic Stadium still had some cause and effect.

For Toti, he hopes to be able to win the favor at Manchester United's home court. The Roman prince has been in the world for many years, and the focus is on revenge!

When Gu Fei walked off the bus, he did not accept an interview from the media, but raised his hand to give a thumbs up to the onlookers of Manchester United fans, and immediately received huge cheers from the scene!

For Manchester United fans, as long as you can see the confident smile of the star, the game will be stable!

…………

When the players from both sides entered the infield and started to warm up, the Old Trafford Stadium was already full, with countless red flags rolling around and countless fans singing emotionally. The entire stadium was like a super volcano that was about to erupt.

When Chinese fans watching the special show watched the Dream Theater go from being empty to the present, they were truly shocked by the charm of football.

In contrast, there is a huge gap between the number, enthusiasm and organization of the Chinese football market and the Premier League. The development of Chinese football has a long way to go. Not only the organizers, players, and coaches must work hard, but the quality and ability of the fans must also rise.

In fact, domestic TV stations broadcast some important matches by Manchester United, which is actually a silent education for Chinese fans, because Manchester United can present the top European football to fans.

For Chinese people, copying homework is just the simplest thing. What they fear most is that there is no reference or comparison. If everything needs to be studied out of thin air, it will be a little more difficult.

It was also after Gu Fei took over Manchester United that China Television reported on various Manchester United events so deeply. If it were the past, it would often broadcast the official game scenes in a flash, so how could we learn?

…………

"Forget the score of the previous game, everything starts from scratch!" After the players changed their clothes, Sir Ferguson began his final lecture.

Generally speaking, before the start of the game, the old man rarely explained specific tactics. What he should have said was already at the tactical meeting this morning. Now it is necessary to conduct pre-war mobilization.

"The Romans' counterattack may be very fierce, but this is Old Trafford, so they can't let them go wild!" The 66-year-old man's face was red and his voice was loud. His hair dryer was still the biggest magic weapon in Manchester United's locker room.

Big-name stars including Gu Fei were surrounded by the old man, and his voice was the only one in the audience. In terms of the game arrangement, the old man could only be the only one!

"What do you need?" Finally, the old man shouted!

"Victory! Victory! Victory!" Gu Fei quickly shouted three times with his teammates, and then left the locker room in a row!

When the door of the locker room opened, the singing of tens of thousands of fans rushed towards him like a huge wave. All the players' emotions immediately reached their peak at this moment, their blood boiling, and they wanted to appear on the court and fight the opponent for 300 rounds!

At the same time, the Roman player who came out of the locker room couldn't help but wonder in his heart when he looked at the murderous Manchester United player.

"Who is behind?"

The players are waiting to appear in the channel, and the fans, TV broadcasters, and commentators are all ready. This game, which started the countdown half a month ago, can finally officially begin!
Chapter completed!
