Chapter 135: Champions League Knockout Round Begins! (Fourth Update)

Huddersfield was not wrong, Mourinho did rotate the lineup. The value of the FA Cup is not as good as that of the Champions League knockout stage. This is a question that does not need to be thought about.

In the end, Huddersfield beat Manchester United 2-1 and advanced to the next round.

Manchester United have already been eliminated from the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup.

If they fail to win either the league title or the Champions League, I'm afraid Manchester United fans will launch a frenzy to fire Mourinho, and the management will definitely not be satisfied.

After all, football is all about results.

Even if you can dominate the top of the league table for 248 days and beat the Premier League BIG6.

But as long as they fail to win the Premier League title in the end, it will just become a complete joke, and even leave an embarrassing record that no one can surpass.

So Mourinho's behavior can be regarded as a gamble.

After Manchester United players returned to the training base, their mentality was not affected too much and they began to prepare for the match with Sevilla.

Chu Feng watched his teammates discussing heatedly and couldn't help but think of another world.

If the original trajectory had been followed, after Manchester United introduced Sanchez, they would not only have given him the highest salary in the team, but also given him enough tactical position.

This made the childish Pogba very unhappy, and his condition fluctuated as a result, resulting in Manchester United's very poor record during that period.

But the situation is completely different now. This is Seville, Spain.

"Don't press the centre-backs, mark their build-up midfielder and press as soon as the United full-backs get the ball."

"And our wingers need to retreat to the midfield, increase the number of passing points in the midfield, and use the numerical advantage to create advancement."

“.”

Montella pointed to the tactical board and said in a deep voice.

The Sevilla players responded and ran onto the green field to start training.

Soon a wailing sound was heard on the field.

It turned out that after Sarabia made a breakthrough on the wing, Escudero grabbed his shorts desperately, exposing half of his buttocks.

This is how they defend, they are decisive in committing fouls.

Sevilla not only has the delicate technology of Spanish teams, but also has the violent genes that Spanish teams lack.

In the match between Barcelona and Sevilla that ended not long ago.

Messi suffered the same treatment, with his pants pulled down in front of tens of thousands of people, exposing half of his buttocks.

Chu Feng followed the team members and boarded the flight to Spain.

Three hours later the plane landed at Seville Airport. When they walked out of the airport lobby, they immediately saw dozens of fans gathered outside.

This made many Manchester United players wonder: can the influence of their club radiate to Spain?

"Chu Feng, can you sign an autograph for me?"

“Take a photo, take a photo!”

Oh, it turns out they are Chinese students studying in Spain, and they all came for Chu Feng.

Fortunately, there are not many people.

It only took Chu Feng a few minutes to finish signing autographs and taking photos, and then he boarded the club bus that had been prepared long ago.

There will be three powerful matchups, namely Real Madrid vs. Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona vs. Chelsea, and Juventus vs. Tottenham.

So the match between Sevilla and Manchester United did not receive much attention.

Chu Feng looked through the car window at the Guadalquivir River that ran through the city, and then looked up at the buildings on both sides of the river.

Seville is an ancient city where residents have lived since the 7th century BC. It still retains traces of the Moorish rule centuries ago.

It is known as the "Rome of Southern Europe".

Chu Feng felt that Seville was a very good holiday destination. After all the games this year were over, maybe he could come here and spend a few days.

Soon the Manchester United club bus arrived at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium.

This stadium has an interesting record.

That is, Sevilla and the Spanish national team have remained unbeaten in 26 and 22 international matches here.

Crowds of Sevilla fans wandered the streets, waving their arms and singing the team song.

Half an hour later, the pre-match press conference.

In response to reporters' questions, Sevilla coach Montella answered casually.

"Mourinho is a pioneer in football tactics and I think he is a very good opponent."

"You all know that Sevilla has never made it to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, so today's game will be a great one because we are ready physically and mentally."

“We are confident of victory!”

No matter how strong the two teams are, no one will give up before the game. If even the head coach has no confidence in winning, the players' mentality will only get worse.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Another meeting room.

"Sevilla is a very strong team."

"But it doesn't work for me because I played against Sevilla eight times when I was coaching Real Madrid, with a record of seven wins and one loss, and four shutouts."

"And United have lost just one of their last eight visits to Spain."

"So there's no reason for us to lose the game."

Mourinho was still arrogant when facing the media, without any humility.

Half an hour later.

Player tunnel.

Sevilla captain Escudero stared at Chu Feng's shorts, as if thinking about its quality and whether he could pull it off.

The rest of the Sevilla players stood quietly, thinking about the coach's instructions.

Manchester United players haven't entered the Champions League knockout stage for a long time, so they were very excited.

Chu Feng looked at the Li Ning logo on both sides of the passage and suddenly remembered that Li Ning seemed to be a partner with three teams in La Liga, namely Malaga, Espanyol and Sevilla.

The exciting UEFA Champions League theme song sounded, interrupting his thoughts.

The spotlights above the stadium turned on instantly, and the referee led the two teams out of the passage. A huge UEFA logo in the middle of the green field was shaking wildly.

"Good evening, audience friends!"

“Welcome to watch the first leg of the 2017-18 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.”

"Sevilla vs Manchester United!"

"In the Champions League group stage, Sevilla reversed Liverpool. Their strength should not be underestimated!"

"Manchester United is the leader in the Premier League standings and has won three consecutive league games since February. Although they lost to Huddersfield in the FA Cup, Manchester United rotated the lineup to save energy for the main players."

“So today’s game will surely be exciting.”

"Here are the starting lineups for both teams."

"The team wearing white jerseys is Sevilla. They are in a 4-3-3 formation. Goalkeeper:."

"This team has never lacked stars in history. In the 1990s, there were superstars like Suker, Zamorano, Maradona and Simeone."

"After entering the new century, Sevilla also had new players like Reyes, Baptista and Ramos."

"The team wearing red jerseys is Manchester United. Mourinho also deployed a 4-3-3 formation. The goalkeeper is: "
