131. Battle of the Stadium of Light

Before the game, Manchester United was full of confidence and looked like they didn't take Benfica seriously, which made the Benfica players very angry. In the hearts of the Manchester United players, it seemed that there was no need for this game to be played.

Because they have already won.

The arrogant attitude of the Manchester United players made the Benfica players very unhappy. When the Benfica players were interviewed by reporters, they launched a sharp counterattack.

When Benfica's central defender Luison was interviewed by reporters, he said this: "Hmph, I think the Manchester United players have healed their scars and forgotten the pain. Have they forgotten who knocked them out last season?

What? Since we were able to knock them out last season, we can still do it this season."

Hearing Luison's words, the Benfica fans were very excited. Listening to the arrogant voices of Manchester United people these days, they have long been holding back an evil fire in their hearts. They hope that the team can completely defeat Manchester United and beat Manchester United.

Take it, let out this bad breath.

Benfica's head coach Santos said this in an interview: "Manchester United has always been a strong team, a very strong team. However, this does not mean that Benfica has no chance. Like last season's Champions League group stage

It was the same in the last round. Before the game, almost all the media and fans thought that Benfica would be eliminated. But, what was the final result?"

Santos laughed and said: "We won. So, who can say clearly the result of this game? We will go all out in this game and play this game as the last game. Victory is what we want

We won’t give up easily if we need it.”

Benfica fans are very excited. They firmly believe that their team is fully prepared and they firmly believe that their team can defeat the visiting Manchester United team at their home court.

Qiu Ze also accepted an interview with reporters. Of course, last season, Qiu Ze was still at Beiramar, and he had no grudges with Manchester United. However, this guy had grudges with Cristiano Ronaldo, and it seemed that he had grudges.

It's very deep.

When Cristiano Ronaldo was being interviewed, he often satirized Qiu Ze. The reporters remembered this fact. They liked to watch the players from the two teams quarrel with each other, especially the superstars.

Qiu Ze said in an interview with reporters: "I don't have much to say about this game. Because my teammates and my coach have made it very clear. I will go all out to win this game.

Victory, find the best position in the group."

"What did you say? Ronaldo? Oh no, no, no, he has nothing to do with it. What I'm thinking about now is this game, and I won't think about things that have nothing to do with this game! What? Ronaldo is my opponent? Oh

Sorry, I didn't see the list of opponents, so I'm not very clear." Qiu Ze looked confused.

"Hiss!" Listening to Qiu Ze's words, the reporters below all took a breath of cold air. Darling, this guy is so amazing. He even acted like he didn't know there was a guy named Ronaldo in the Manchester United team. This... this is also

You really don't take Cristiano Ronaldo seriously.

When Cristiano Ronaldo saw Qiu Ze's interview, he became angry, his blood surged, his face turned red, and his lungs were about to explode.

"Fak! Who am I, Cristiano Ronaldo? I am the superstar of Portugal and the core of the Portuguese national team. Who the hell are you? How dare you ignore me? Just wait, I

I will make you remember me during the game." Cristiano Ronaldo said angrily.

Manchester United arrived in Lisbon, Portugal one day in advance. When they arrived in Lisbon, a lot of British football hooligans followed them to Lisbon. Yes, in the eyes of the Portuguese, British fans are all football hooligans, at least for now.

The situation is like this.

This has put great pressure on Lisbon's traffic and police. These days, the number of police and traffic police on the streets has increased significantly. There are even heavily armed patrols patrolling the streets. The whole of Lisbon seems to be under martial law.

Similar.

Moreover, a large number of reporters poured into Lisbon. For them, this game is the focus of this round of the Champions League. Can Manchester United take revenge? This is a topic that many people are paying attention to. You

Can they stop flocking to Lisbon?

At the same time, during training, a large number of fans and reporters flocked to Benfica's training ground, which affected Benfica's training to some extent, so Benfica conducted closed training. The same was true for the Manchester United team who came from afar.

They don't want their team to be affected, and this game is equally important to them.

September 26, 2006, was the day when Benfica played against Manchester United at home. On this day, Benfica did not train. They had to prepare for the evening game. On this day, they hit again at ten o'clock in the morning and went for a jog.

, then had dinner very early in the afternoon, and then took a bus to the Stadium of Light to participate in this important game.

On this day, Qiu Ze was very relaxed and not nervous because he had to face a wealthy team like Manchester United. After all, he is also a player who has experienced the World Cup and can control his mentality very well. On the bus, Qiu Ze

Ze was still talking and laughing with his teammates.

The entire Benfica team is very relaxed, and there does not seem to be any tension about the impending war. This reassures Benfica's head coach Santos. He is afraid that the players will be nervous, and this tension will affect the performance of the players. It can be seen that

Come out, for now, Benfica is in very good shape.

By the time Benfica's bus arrived at the stadium, the Manchester United team had already arrived for a while. However, when they walked into the tunnel, they did not encounter any Manchester United players, nor did they see them in the tunnel. I don't know.

What are the Manchester United players doing?

As soon as he entered the locker room, Qiu Ze checked his equipment as usual. Although the staff had carefully prepared and checked it countless times before the game, Qiu Ze still had the habit of checking it himself. This was for

Just in case, but also to make sure you have a good idea.

Some of the other Benfica players wore earplugs and leaned against their wardrobes listening to the exciting music. Some guys even twisted and danced in the locker room, while others were in the locker room.

play soccer……

There are all kinds of things, and everyone has their own way of relieving stress. Yes, this is how they relieve stress.

Before long, Benfica's assistant coach reminded Benfica's players to go out and warm up quickly. They didn't have much time. Benfica's assistant coach also reminded the players to move their bodies as much as possible to avoid unnecessary injuries.

Qiu Ze and the Benfica players are very meticulous about the warm-up before the game. After all, no one wants to get injured and affect their career because they are not active.

When Qiu Ze walked into the court, he found that the Manchester United players had already begun to warm up on the court, and it seemed that they had been warming up for some time. Qiu Ze stood on the sidelines with his hands folded and looked at the Manchester United players.

Warm up, and then start your own warm-up.

When Benfica's players came out to warm up, the fans who came to the Stadium of Light early immediately gave out earth-shattering cheers to cheer for the home team. Benfica's players also waved to these fans while warming up, which attracted Benfica's

The fans were excited.

Soon, both sides finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room. In the locker room, they listened to the head coach's tactical arrangements and waited for the start of the game.

In fact, the players on both sides have already understood the tactics of this game. In this week's training, haven't they been training? In the tactical arrangement before the game, the head coach just reminded the players

What should be noted is the emphasis on marking and attacking in key positions, as well as mobilizing the players' enthusiasm and improving morale.

Before the game, Benfica's head coach Santos reminded Benfica's players to focus on defense, especially the defense on the two wings. Although Manchester United's Ryan Giggs was injured and will not appear in this game, Manchester United's two

The wings are still very strong.

Cristiano Ronaldo's strength Benfica players know very well that Cristiano Ronaldo was a player of their mortal enemy Sporting Lisbon. Moreover, this guy has become even stronger after being tempered in the Premier League.

Benfica must watch this point, and even if Giggs is not available, Manchester United must watch the left wing. Manchester United's substitute players are also very capable.

Santos only reminded these two points, but this does not mean that Manchester United has no threat from other points. It is just that these two points are more threatening to Benfica and are the focus.

In the attack, Benfica only has one option, which is to play behind the Manchester United center back. Benfica's two wingers are also very fast, and the Manchester United center back is a bit slow to turn around. This is Benfica's opportunity.

After emphasizing these points, Santos used last season's elimination of Manchester United to boost morale. The morale of Benfica's players was so high that they rushed out of the locker room shouting to defeat Manchester United.

On the other side, Manchester United's head coach Alex Ferguson also made detailed tactical arrangements. They studied Benfica very carefully. They came to take revenge today. Manchester United must win today.

Soon, the time for the official match was coming, and the players from both sides came out of the locker room and walked into the players' tunnel. When Qiu Ze walked out of the home team's locker room and walked into the players' tunnel, Cristiano Ronaldo

As he walked in from the other direction, the two met each other.

They are really enemies! Both Qiu Ze and Cristiano Ronaldo stared at each other with squinted eyes. They stared at each other for more than 30 seconds without blinking.

The follow-up players from both sides came out, and the two separated. When they separated, Cristiano Ronaldo glared at Qiu Ze, which seemed to be a warning. Qiu Ze was dismissive of this.

Gu.
