Chapter 238: Attention
The sound insulation effect of the dressing room at the Kareskakis Stadium is extremely poor. Even if the door of the dressing room is closed, the noise outside the stadium can still penetrate the door of the dressing room and reach the ears of Manchester United soldiers.
At this time, Van Dijk asked Vidic next to him softly: "Have the fans here always been this barbaric?"
Vidic nodded seriously: "Well, I've been here once before, and their stadium is really annoying."
Salah asked worriedly: "Their fans won't rush down the stands to fight us on the pitch?"
"Probably not," Valencia said, "but it's normal for them to throw things down."
"!" Alonso cursed, "These guys don't really talk about sportsmanship."
De Gea frowned and said: "They don't care about sportsmanship, as long as the team can win, even if they are asked to kill, they will do it!"
Hearing the complaints from the Manchester United players, Kintag also frowned. He coughed lightly, and the players stopped discussing immediately and looked at Kintag.
Jin Taige looked around at his players in the locker room, and saw the dignified expressions on the faces of the players. Jin Taige knew in his heart that this had something to do with today's Devil's Stadium, and it also had something to do with the continuous battle. If possible, don't say yes The players, even Kintag himself wants to take a good rest and relieve the fatigue of the recent period. But he can't, because the oncoming UEFA Champions League knockout round, every game is related to whether his team can move forward.
Jin Taige has already made tactical arrangements for this game, and he told everyone again: "Guys, this game may be more difficult than we imagined. I know that everyone has not recovered from the fatigue of the last game. I will enter such an important UEFA Champions League knockout match immediately, but there is no way. The schedule during this period is too tight. I hope everyone can overcome the difficulties. My request for you in this game is to hold on, if you have the opportunity , strive to score away goals, so that when we return to home, the next round will be more favorable.”
Kintag encouraged the players, while Scholes observed the players. He found that today the players seemed to have lost the spirit of the past. No matter how Kintag encouraged and mobilized, there was still no change.
Scholes sighed secretly: It seems that this game can only be resigned to fate
"Dear audience friends, hello everyone, what we are about to bring you now is the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Manchester United challenged Olympiacos away. This game has attracted the attention of many fans, especially Manchester United fans. Manchester United's first Champions League knockout game in the post-Ferguson era, Manchester United fans are full of expectations for Kintag's coaching. On the other hand, Olympiakos, which has dominated the Greek League this season, is strong.
They beat Benfica and Anderlecht in the Champions League group stage and made it to the Champions League knockout rounds, and their fans are looking forward to more! "
"This is a much-anticipated game that has attracted the attention of many fans. We are all looking forward to the start of the game whether the new Manchester United is stronger or Olympiacos is better."
"Just now we have introduced the starting lineup of Olympiacos. They have a 4231 formation in this game. There are no big-name stars in the team, but we will focus on introducing a few young players."
"Right forward Joel Campbell, this is a young man from Arsenal. He has been loaned to Olympiacos from the Gunners this season. He is only 21 years old this year, very young. He has scored 14 goals in the Greek League this season. He is currently at the top of the scorer list, facing his former club's arch-enemy in this game, he will definitely show a wonderful performance and try his best to impress Wenger, so that he can get a place in Arsenal next season."
"Central defender Manolas, he is a young player who transferred from Athens last season. He is only 23 years old this year. Although he is very young, he has a very solid defense in front of the goal of Olympiakos. This season, Olympiakos is the Greek league. The team with the fewest conceded goals, Manolas contributed a lot. There are rumors that the Serie A powerhouses Inter Milan and Roma are very interested in him. Maybe this summer, Manolas will leave the Greek League and switch to Serie A wealthy."
"Goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez, he just transferred from La Liga giants Atletico Madrid more than half a month ago. This transfer cost Olympiacos a transfer fee of 6 million euros. For the team, it is a lot of investment. , and today he replaced Mejri, who has been playing inconsistently this season, and I believe his performance will greatly affect the trend of the game."
"As for Manchester United, they also sent almost all the main players. Except for Van Persie who suffered some minor injuries, Manchester United's starting lineup today is exactly the same as the starting lineup of the last league game. The starting lineup is still 442. Goalkeeper Germany Gea, defenders Vidic, Smalling, Alonso and Rafael, midfielders Kante, De Bruyne, Mahrez and Martial, forwards Rooney and Icardi. Seven substitutes They are: Alisson, Jones, Ashley Young, Valencia, Nainggolan, Salah and Nani."
"In the last league game, Manchester United was very sorry to be tied by a weaker team. Today they will face the mighty Olympiacos and their devil's home court. The physical condition of Manchester United players in this game may become an influence on this game The key to victory."
"The referee blows the whistle, and the game begins!"
"Manchester United served first, Rooney knocked the ball back to De Bruyne in the midfield, De Bruyne didn't rush the ball, he was holding the ball, waiting for his teammates to move."
"Two Olympiacos players go up and De Bruyne crosses the ball to Martial on the wing."
"Ndinga made a fierce tackle on Martial! This kick was completely aimed at the leg!"
"Martial stepped back and avoided the tackle, but the ball landed at Ndinga's feet!"
"Ndinga went straight forward and gave the ball to Campbell who was going forward. In front of Campbell was Vidic. He continuously adjusted the pace of his feet and prepared to break forward."
"Vidic made a decisive tackle with his foot."
"Campbell passed Vidic! He passed Vidic with a fake move. The Manchester United veteran who performed well this season was tricked by the young Campbell today!
"Campbell took the ball forward and he faced De Gea one-on-one!"
"Will Campbell score this goal?!"
