When Xu Qi and his teammates got off the plane together and stepped on the land of Manchester again, he was also a little moved.

In fact, even now, he is still a member of Manchester City. He now represents Monaco in the Champions League, just because he was loaned to Monaco.

There are many Manchester City fans picking up the plane at the airport, and they still remember this meritorious player who once brought them countless happiness and brought them the first Premier League trophy.

Xu Qi also signed the fans with a smile and took a photo.

His coming this time has nothing to do with Manchester City, but with Manchester United.

Therefore, he did not disturb the old guys, but instead moved into a five-star hotel near Old Trafford Stadium with the team.

Those old guys are not in Manchester now, they should have arrived in Barcelona now to prepare for the quarterfinals of the second leg with Barcelona.

They lost two goals at home in the first leg, and this time they are at the Nou Camp, it is probably even more unlucky.

Manchester City's promotion situation is worse than Monaco.

...

As for Manchester United, Moyes also attaches great importance to this game.

Because they just lost to Stoke City in the league, the league ranking even reached eighth.

This is the worst result in Manchester United's league in many years.

Not to mention competing for the championship this season, they even compete for the Champions League place next season, which seems to be very difficult.

Therefore, Moyes takes the Champions League more seriously.

His current coaching position is a bit unstable. If he does not show his coaching ability in the Champions League, he will not be far from being dismissed.

Monaco also attaches great importance to the Champions League.

Before the game, Ranieli was considering whether Xu Qi started or played as a substitute.

Xu Qi has already clearly talked to him that he can now deal with the starting lineup. Xu Qi even made a clear "military order". If he can enter the team's starting lineup, he will lead Monaco to successfully reverse Manchester United and reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

After receiving such a clear request from Xu Qi, Ranieli finally made a decision and added Xu Qi's name to the starting list.

Xu Qi will be seen again on the Old Trafford Stadium.

At Old Trafford Stadium, in the player channel, the players of the two teams are already in place, and the members of the referee team in front are also talking jokes to each other.

The little caddies beside the players raised their heads and stared at the big-name stars beside them without blinking, full of admiration.

The little boy next to Xu Qi kept smiling happily on his face. When Xu Qi just lowered his head and chatted with him, he told Xu Qi that he was Xu Qi's fan. He dreamed yesterday that he scored three goals on the court, helping the team win.

When Xu Qi heard this, he sighed at the child's words and nodded seriously: "I will do it!"

Xu Qi, who was standing at the end of Monaco, looked forward and the starting list of both sides was clear.

Manchester United stands at the end of their forward player Van Persie.

The two attackers, including Rooney and Villebeck, also appeared on the starting list.

There are also Valencia, Carrick, Rafael, Ferdinand, Phil Jones, Evra and goalkeeper De Gea.

At the front is Giggs, who is already forty years old with the captain's armband.

This guy is also a rare old monster in football. His appearance on the starting list in this game also surprised everyone. After all, he is already a player who is basically on the verge of semi-retirement.

This starting lineup also has some changes from the last time, and the offensive end lets Weirbeck replace Ashley Young's position.

As for Monaco, the goalkeeper is still Subasic.

On the back line are Fabinho, Carvalho, Mirin and Kurzawa.

Tularang and Condobia partnered with the back midfielder.

The three players in the frontcourt are Xu Qi, Moutinho and J Ronaldo.

Center Falcao.

Carrasco, Martial, Berbatov and other very capable players all sat on the bench.

In fact, compared with the lineup between the two teams, Monaco is not at all false.

After all, this is a team that spent more than 160 million euros in the transfer market in the summer.

Finally, with the loud Champions League symphony, players from both sides entered the court.

Manchester United, wearing a red jersey, and Monaco, wearing a navy blue away jersey, entered the court at the same time.

Xu Qi also stepped on the turf of Old Trafford Stadium again. This time, Xu Qi's arrival has caused boos from many Manchester United fans as always. After all, this is a Manchester City player.

Although he now wears Monaco jerseys to represent Monaco, he is indeed a player of Manchester City.

The competition officially begins.

Manchester United kicked off first, with two away goals and one goal leading, so they were not in a hurry to attack, but controlled the rhythm from the beginning, wanting to control the game within their control range.

Xu Qi, Moutinho and others began to actively force Manchester United players to force them to drive forward passively, so that Monaco would have more opportunities to obtain the ball.

Since Monaco is the backward side and Manchester United still has two away goals, if Monaco wants to advance to the quarterfinals, it must score as soon as possible. One goal cannot reverse the situation.

Even if Monaco wins 1-0 at Old Trafford, Manchester United will advance.

Unless, they can win two goals, or beat Manchester United with three or more goals.

No matter which point, it is full of difficulty for Monaco.

But now, they have no other choice, just one road in Huashan, attack!

Just a few dozen seconds into the game, under Xu Qi's forced, Raphael drove the ball to the Monaco half with a big foot.

Monaco finally controlled the ball, and Tularan passed the ball directly to Moutinho.

At this time, seeing Moutinho receiving the ball, Xu Qi immediately ran over and started to respond to Moutinho.

After seeing Xu Qi, Moutinho immediately sent the ball towards Xu Qi running. Xu Qi immediately followed and walked around Moutinho and rushed to the middle position.

This is the first time Xu Qi touches the ball in the official game after completing the ghost foot mode.

The Manchester United player who knew that Xu Qi had a strong personal breakthrough ability immediately rushed over at this time. Giggs was the first to rush over. He knew that Xu Qi must not rush up.

However, forty-year-old Giggs was still a step slower. Just when he had just run to Xu Qi, he found that Xu Qi had just poked the ball gently and dodged by his side, and he could only slip to the ground slowly.
Chapter completed!
