Chapter 856 Blowing the Battle Horn

"No!" Bruno, who was the captain, stood up and said.

"I don't let you think about Paris Saint-Germain, that's because it's still early to the second leg. We can't keep thinking about it, we can't keep dealing with the league with the heart of revenge!"

"Of course, I know that many people will involuntarily think of this game." Mourinho said, "No one likes to lose, and no one will accept a crushing defeat with peace of mind!"

The next moment, Mourinho loudly said, "We are Manchester United! No matter what the situation is, no matter what the opponent, we have the ability to win!"

The atmosphere in the locker room became warm and the heat spread.

This is the importance of pre-war mobilization. People follow the crowd and will be influenced by people around them. Even before, I thought that in my heart, if Captain Bruno is absent, I would lose to a strong European top like Paris Saint-Germain. A strong team is indeed a very normal player of this type, and at this moment, he will be infected by this passionate emotion.

Paris Saint-Germain is the top team in Europe at the moment, that's right!

However, this is not a reason we can accept failure because we are Manchester United!

................

"We can consider the quarterfinals. No matter how our opponents perform in today's game, we can't stop us from reaching the quarterfinals!"

"Manchester United? They have created miracles and won the Champions League title in the past three years. This is something that Real Madrid can't do, and it can be fully loaded into the history of their club. Unfortunately, they have to dream of Say goodbye to four consecutive championships because they were eliminated by the powerful Paris Saint-Germain!”

"Our boys can travel to Manchester in the second round. Although it is not as beautiful as Paris, there are many places worth visiting!"

...

Mourinho held a stack of newspapers and read them one by one. His tone was plain and without any emotion.

"These are all reports from the media in Paris, and I didn't add a word," Mourinho said.

He looked at everyone and saw the anger on the faces of the players.

very good!

"The Paris Saint-Germain said they have reached the final and they have started celebrating in advance." Mourinho shook his head and said, "I don't want to make any comments, I just want to tell you my thoughts, this game , I will not deliberately emphasize revenge and say a turnaround! But I will be very dissatisfied, there is a fire in my chest! "

Mourinho beat his chest hard and said loudly: "This is our home court, and I will not allow the Paris Saint-Germain to continue to show off here!"

"Manchester United has the dignity of Manchester United! Anyone who dares to underestimate Manchester United will bear the price they cannot bear!" Mourinho raised the stack of newspapers in his hand and kept the newspaper straight into the air, "Today's game, I Just one request, fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!! When the game is over, you can leave the court with your head proudly!”

"Go! Fight! Tell the proud Paris Saint-Germain people! Tell them! You are all men of kindness! Tell them, this is Manchester United! Here is our territory! Tell me your answer, are you men?" Mourinho pounded his chest hard.

"yes!!"

With the roar, everyone stood up from their seats.

"I have talked about the tactics of this game many times! From the first second of the game, offense, battle, offense, battle! Think about your unwillingness and tears at Princess Park Stadium, now, fighting with your heart Passionately, tell our fans, tell yourself that you are Warriors! They are warriors!”

"Martin United only has the warriors standing dead, and there are no cowards who surrender!" Mourinho roared hysterically and beat his chest hard!

His eyes were red, and his expression could even be said to be a bit ferocious.

"fighting!"

"fighting!"

The players yelled, waved their fists and pounded their chests, and the locker room was extremely noisy and even the air seemed to be burning.

Assistant coach Faria looked at his watch and reminded the players that it was time to get in.

"Let's get on!" Bruno raised his right arm, measured the captain's armband, and shouted, "Fight!"

"Go, fight! Go, fight! Fight!" Mourinho opened the door of the locker room and shouted almost crazy. He brimmed with every player passing by his side and spoke loudly. Encourage them, everyone held their heads and rushed out in a hurry!

The atmosphere in the locker room was so hot that they felt that only by starting the competition quickly and starting quickly can the fire in their hearts be released!

"That's great! I've never seen you like this before." Faria said with excitement as he looked at the players rushing out of the locker room.

"I just said what everyone's hearts are, and aroused their unwillingness and fighting spirit." Mourinho said with a hoarse voice.

"No, only you can convince them and let them fight willingly!" Faria said.

He doesn't think he is flattering, this is the truth.

"Let's go." Mourinho clapped his hands and said.

He has prepared for this game for so long and so much, and now is the time to witness.

"I'm curious, why haven't you mentioned victory and comeback?" Faria finally expressed his doubts. Is it because he still realizes that the score gap is too huge, so he won't say such words?

"When facing a strong opponent, don't deliberately emphasize the opponent's strength, and don't shout revenge. That will only remind the players of the opponent's strength and the past failures." Mourinho said as he walked, "Now, what we have to do is fight! As for the result..."

Mourinho paused and said contemptuously: "As long as you fight hard, the result, is it important?"

The result is very important!

Mourinho said so in his heart, but he couldn't say it. As he said to Faria just now, emphasizing revenge and comeback will only make the players subconsciously think, can we do it?

This will form a psychological suggestion and make their blood cool down.

Therefore, Mourinho chose the most direct and simple way: don't talk about the result, just cheer up!

The starting lineups of both sides have been shown on the big screen of the stadium.

Paris Saint-Germain starting lineup (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Navas;

Defense: Florenzi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, 16-Kurzawa;

Midfield: Gueye, Paredes, Verratti;

Forward: Draxler, Icardi, Martial;

"Compared with the first leg, Paris Saint-Germain only made one adjustment, that is, Draxler replaced Keane, and the other ten players were all players who started the first leg." Martin Taylor said.

No mistakes!

"In the first leg, 4:1, Paris Saint-Germain can be said to have advanced in advance, but Pochettino still maintained enough caution and sent out the full main lineup. It can also be seen that Manchester United's three consecutive Champions League titles have made the whole world jealous." Andy Gray said.

He was right. Although many people and the media thought that PSG felt that the second round was just a formality, Pochettino, who had been in the Premier League for a long time, had a deep understanding of Manchester United's strength. In the second round, he still played with all his elite players, and obviously did not intend to give Manchester United any chance.

Manchester United's starting lineup (433):

Goalkeeper: De Gea;

Defense: Cancelo, Maguire, Van Dijk, Luke Shaw;

Midfielders: Kante, Gundogan, Bruno;

Forwards: Mbappe, 2 Harry Kane, Rashford;

………………

Mourinho and PSG coach Pochettino shook hands. The two just shook hands in a formal way, and even the greetings were the simplest: "I hope this is a wonderful game."

Although the two have played against each other in the Premier League for many years, they do not have any personal relationship.

"PSG is very cautious." Faria said.

Mourinho nodded. Paris Saint-Germain sent out the strongest lineup. The only personnel adjustment was to replace the young player Keane with the original main player Draxler.

Mourinho looked at Pochettino with some surprise, thinking that this kid is not bad. With such a big advantage in the first round, he didn't even drift away?

The referee Brüch blew the whistle to start the game.

Paris Saint-Germain kicked off, Icardi passed the ball kicked by Martial back to Draxler, and then the two ran forward.

Draxler seemed very excited. He pretended to pass the ball back to Paredes, but he dribbled the ball and rushed forward with the ball.

This caused even louder boos in the stands. Obviously, Draxler's move was interpreted as a contempt for Manchester United.

Draxler used the change in speed to pass Gundogan, and then continued to move forward, but the next second Draxler was tackled to the ground by Rashford.

The referee Brüch blew the whistle, Manchester United fouled!

Draxler watched Rashford run back without even looking at him, and could only get up in disappointment.

………………

Paredes lifted the ball to the front court for a free kick from Paris Saint-Germain, and Van Dijk squeezed Icardi and headed the ball out.

Verratti hooked the ball back before Luke Shaw, then he pulled the ball and turned around to look for his teammates, but Kante rushed up and knocked Verratti away.

Verratti's footwork was indeed very delicate. While staggering from the collision, he still stretched out his legs and pulled the ball back. With a pull of his feet, he avoided Kante's next press.

Paris Saint-Germain fans in front of the TV applauded and cheered for Verratti's beautiful skills.

It was not enough, Verratti continued to play a trick, he jumped up the ball, pretended to turn around, but used a move similar to a scorpion's tail swing, and passed the ball... to Gundogan!

Gundogan accurately predicted Verratti's actions, then suddenly rushed forward and completed the steal on the passing route!
