Manchester United made great strides in the league, leading the second place Chelsea by three points and continuing to top the league. Just when Manchester United's league was smooth sailing, Manchester United will usher in the UEFA Champions League again. The UEFA Champions League is about to start again this week, and the 1% knockout round of the UEFA Champions League in the 2009-2010 season officially started.

Manchester United's opponent is the Italian giant AC Milan. In the Champions League knockout round with AC Milan, Manchester United is the first to go and then to host, so Manchester United will fly to Milan, Italy in the middle of this week.

Manchester United is in very good shape now, and AC Milan's situation has also recovered. Both teams are good now, and this is definitely an already wonderful showdown.

The game was hyped up long before the game, and there were many highlights of this game. Before the game, England's "The Sun" and Italy's "Sports" reported in detail about the store viewing of the game.

The two teams have encountered four times in the Champions League knockout stage, and Milan won the final victory and eliminated Manchester United. The result of eight games was five wins and three losses. Milan maintained a complete victory at home without conceding a goal. The difficult game in front of Manchester United will be in front of Manchester United. Of course, this will also be Manchester United's revenge journey.

Although Manchester United lacks Cristiano Ronaldo and Berbatov this season, Manchester United has a super striker Gong Zheng on the front line. This girl is called a super goal machine by Premier League fans. With this guy in charge, Manchester United's revenge is of course in sight.

However, it is obvious that the Italian giants AC Milan will not watch Manchester United take revenge. They are also eager to enter the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, so of course they must continue their previous strength.

We will wait and see whether this is the revenge of Manchester United or the continued strength of AC Milan. Of course, before this, we will have some highlights in the game:

One of the highlights is that Beckham reciprocates the old owner.

Yes, David Beckham is going to return to Old Trafford. However, his identity is a player of the Italian AC Milan giants. At the beginning of this season, the Italian giants brought David Beckham from the Los Angeles Galaxy in the United States to the San Siro Stadium.

As a member of AC Milan, David Beckham certainly faced his old club Manchester United again, which became one of the biggest highlights of this game.

David Beckham may not start in this game, because Pato has returned from injury. In the right forward position, the Brazilian is definitely the first choice. However, Beckham's free kick, the right cross-squad player is still a weapon that Milan can rely on. In the middle, Borelo and Hunteral have good heading ability.

Since experiencing the "Flying Boot Gate" incident in 2003 and then angrily transferred to Real Madrid, this is the first time that Beckham has met his former boss on the Champions League stage as a Manchester United opponent. However, there are still big questions about whether the former England captain will be sent by Leonardo. In recent two games in AC Milan, Beckham has only made a record of making a substitute appearance once. However, considering that the counterattack player Mancini, who came on loan from Inter Milan at the end of January, has lost the qualification to represent his new club in the Champions League, Beckham's chance of playing in the match against Manchester United is still very high.

The second highlight is how Manchester United make up for Giggs' absence.

Veteran Giggs broke his right arm in the mid-League last week and was absent for four weeks after inspection. This is definitely the news that Ferguson wants to hear the least. Giggs is the number one person on Manchester United's assist list this season. His role on the left is irreplaceable. Ferguson will definitely use Nani as the left forward. Although Nani has performed well recently, that is all the results he has achieved on the right. Once he reaches the left, Nani is full of his mind cutting inward shots, and he doesn't consider cooperating with his teammates at all.

The third highlight is the peak offensive and defensive battle.

Both teams' offenses can be said to be the top in the world. Manchester United's Gong Zheng is the hottest forward player now. In the Bundesliga, this kid scored forty-four league goals in a single season shocked the whole world. Now in the Premier League this season, this guy has scored twenty-two goals, which is simply a goal machine. Twenty-six rounds of the league and twenty-two goals, which is quite efficient. Moreover, this guy can not only shoot by himself but also create scoring opportunities for his companions. This guy has a lot of assists in Manchester United, which is definitely the most troublesome thing for Milan.

Milan's Pato and Ronaldo are also world-class stars, and their attack ability is not weak, especially Ronaldinho. Although this guy is no longer in his peak state, he still cannot be underestimated.

Relatively speaking, the defense between the two teams is much worse. Manchester United's Ferdinand has not played for half a month, Vidic is not in good shape now, right-back Rafael looks immature, and Thiago Silva, who was injured in the league last week, is suspected of this round.

It can be seen that both sides have opportunities, and it depends on who can seize the opportunity.

This game will be the ninth time Manchester United has faced the Ross and Blacks in the UEFA Champions League. The last time the two teams met in the Champions League was in the semi-finals in 2007. Relying on Kaka's perfect solo performance, AC Milan finally eliminated Manchester United, which had a high reputation for winning the championship with an extremely three total score, and then completed its revenge against Liverpool in the later final. However, last summer, Kaka had taken off the Ross and Blacks' armor and became a new member of the "Galaxy Battleship". AC Milan is now Pato and Ronaldinho.

During the Ancelotti era, Milan was Manchester United's nemesis, with three wins and one loss in two knockout systems, and had an absolute advantage. In 2007, Manchester United waited for five years to re-enter the semi-finals, but was blocked by Milan. San Siro three eggs were defeated, resulting in the fourth time being sniped in the semi-finals.

In the era of Ann and Kaka, Milan is different from the past, but in the words of Gatu, "Milan will change when he hears the theme song of the Champions League!" In San Siro, Manchester United has lost four goals in the past two times, but has not scored a single goal.

Moreover, the condition of the Ross and Blacks has recovered, and through the group stage and Real Madrid, the Ross and Blacks have accumulated confidence. Now they are no longer the Ross and Blacks at the beginning of the league. Now Leonardo's tactics have taken shape in the Ross and Blacks, and stars such as Ronaldinho are gradually adapting to familiar with the current tactics. The Ross and Blacks are walking on the road to revival. Therefore, it is quite difficult for Manchester United to win the Ross and Blacks.

Another thing is that Manchester United never loses against power teams. After years of failure, God of Buddha has developed a way to restrain the Magic Birds, but it often plays ugly and difficult to win against teams of technical schools. Last season, against Porto, if Ronaldo hadn't scored with a lucky world wave, would Manchester United still be unbeaten? Losing to Barcelona in the final, there was only one thing that could be seen in the first ten minutes, and the latter was almost suppressed by Barcelona.

Two years ago, Manchester United did not have a decent attack in the entire game, and only had two dangerous shots. In the first half, Manchester United was difficult for even the ball to take control, lacking constructive organization, mechanical back foot and lack of targeted running and response, resulting in countless pass mistakes in the offense and defense conversion process. Manchester United is good at playing on the ground, but it is the best match with Serie A. Milan, who combines long and short balls, does not have the upper hand at all.

However, both teams are different in this game, so we don’t know what the game will look like.

However, Manchester United fans are still full of confidence in this game. Now Manchester United is very different from the previous Manchester United team. They have more and more methods in offense, and there is also a striker who can score goals in superb goals, which makes it difficult for Manchester United fans to think that they have no confidence.

Alex Ferguson is also very confident in this game. He said this when he was interviewed by reporters before the game: "We are confident in defeating AC Milan in this UEFA Champions League and entering the quarterfinals. We have this strength, and we are in very good shape now. On the contrary, our opponent AC Milan has a very bad situation. On the surface, they have adapted to the skills and tactics of the new coach, but that is because they have not encountered decent opponents. AC Milan is not as good as the Milans imagined. They still have many problems. In this game, I will use such problems to completely solve AC Milan. The quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League have waved to us again."

"Arrogant! Extremely arrogant!" This was what Leonardo, the new helmator of the Ross and Blacks, said in an interview with reporters. Of course, when he heard the reporter reposting Alex Ferguson's words, he shouted angrily.

"I know the only thing I know best if my team is running in. Sir Alex Ferguson said this. I think Sir Alex Ferguson wanted to cheer up his players and said so. After all, we AC Milan are the nemesis of Manchester United, so he has to use such words to motivate his players not to be afraid of us AC Milan. Hahaha, in fact, he is very afraid of us AC Milan in his heart." Leonardo said proudly.

"He said he would seize our problems and solve us? Okay! I'll wait, I'll see how Manchester United solves our Ross and Blacks!" Leonardo was also full of confidence in his team.

The head coaches of both sides were fighting against each other before the game, and they were unpretentious and had no concessions. The way they insisted on killing each other made the game more attention.

Although both sides were very strong in front of the media and did not take the other party seriously, they were still very afraid of the other party in private. No team in AC Milan or Manchester United is a vegetarian, and this game is definitely a fierce battle.

According to media analysis, this European Cup quarterfinals was rated as the most important and most eye-catching game among all the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals this season.

The media in Italy and England couldn't help but associate this result with UEFA's secret operation. After all, everyone can see some tricks in the European Champions League draw every year, and now they can't help but think about it.

In fact, UEFA is not afraid of your guesses. Forget about your guesses and shouting, they still do their own things. You call you and I play with us, it’s that simple.

However, the two teams now don’t have time to think about these things. Now they are preparing for the upcoming game, which is what they should think about the most.

Fans of both sides are looking forward to this game. Everyone hopes that their team can enter the next stage, and they are cheering for their team.
Chapter completed!
