But no one thinks this scene is strange.
Even they think Ferguson is right.
It is right to keep a low profile before the game against Lazio, but those teams that jump around will die earlier and worse.
They think Ferguson is fully aware of this and warned his players
Lazio’s current state and limelight are normal for Manchester United to behave like this.
No team in Europe can be arrogant when they see Lazio.
As far as their achievements are concerned, they have completely exploded their opponents.
Whether you like Lazio or not, if someone is arrogant and provocative, it is not insulting Lazio, it is insulting themselves.
So no one knows what Manchester United’s silence and low profile really mean.
……
After two days of preparation, the first match between Lazio and Manchester United began.
There are not many problems from the starting lineup of both sides.
Lazio sent the strongest squad they could.
On the other hand, Manchester United are mostly defensive players.
This is also a normal arrangement in this level of competition in the Champions League semifinal
It’s not just the Champions League semifinals. In many games, Lazio opponents are more willing to send more defenders.
Defending is the only choice for many teams when facing Lazio.
It’s normal for Manchester United to do this. It’s no big deal
People kept a low profile before Manchester United because they didn’t have much confidence to win the game, so they kept a low profile and didn’t want to offend Lazio. They might even have more defensive players from the former capitulationists, but they didn’t want to lose too badly …
But when the game started, they found that Manchester United never wanted to lose!
They sent so many defenders not to lose a few goals, but to hope … not to lose a goal!
From the first minute of the game, Manchester United tried their best in defense.
They almost gave up the attack.
Even Rooney’s defense has to go back to the restricted area or the corner flag area many times.
Doing so will sacrifice Rooney’s attack
But Ferguson doesn’t need Rooney to play anything in attack.
He prefers Rooney’s defense.
Six minutes into the game, Lazio launched an attack, and Rooney was a little slow to defend.
Although Lazio’s attack did not threaten Manchester United’s goal in the end, Ferguson was still very excited. He rushed out of the coach’s seat with a red face and ran to the sidelines, then waved his arms and shouted at the stadium. He was very excited.
See his mama ghost Wayne! Back to defense! Back to defense! The first time to defend! I don’t fucking want to see you stand in front of the referee and complain! ! What you should do after losing the ball is to put the horse into defense! ！”
He shouted abuse.
Although Rooney couldn’t hear Ferguson clearly in the stadium, he knew what the boss said by looking at Ferguson’s expression.
Must be complaining that he didn’t take precautions …
This is before the game, the boss repeatedly stressed that it is important to defend everything in this game. If Manchester United can force Lazio to win at home, it is victory.
Of course, if it is 11 or 22, so much the better.
But Ferguson didn’t let the players think so. He just told the players that I don’t need you to score goals, so I would thank the emperor if I didn’t concede goals.
Rooney is still very active in defending.
He just complained to the referee because he felt that Lazio had additional movement in his hand when defending after the football was broken.
I didn’t expect Lazio to pass the midfield in just a few seconds …
Lazio’s overall offensive speed … It’s fucking fast!
