The city of Rome.

Rumored to be the world's first place to be born in modern times, Chen Huan walked out of the VIP tunnel among Manchester United players, and this is not his first time here.

"Manchester United—"

In the distance, a group of Manchester United fans wearing red shirts appeared in the airport hall.

In the distance English. The country is very far away. In the city of Rome, Manchester United is not a lot of fans.

The players didn't interact much with the fans, most of the time just waved lightly, then quickly walked out of the airport and got on the bus that had been waiting outside the hall.

On this day, the city of Rome was sunny.

Tomorrow will be the official race day and it looks like it should be a good weather as well.

There was some quiet on the bus, and although the coaching staff had tried their best to get the players out of the grief of captain Rooney's broken leg, the effect was not very good.

Although Chen Huan has replaced Wayne Rooney as the core player of the team this season, Chen Huan's status in the locker room is certainly not comparable to Rooney, and no one can compare with Rooney.

Van Gaal is anxious in the eyes.

On paper, Lazio's strength is clearly inferior to Manchester United's.

And the top star in Lazio's team is the once famous De. The legendary centre-forward, the World Cup goalscoring record leader, and the famous player of Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich is known as the golden bomber Klose of Klose.

"Klose?"

Van Gaal shook his head slightly as he thought about the name, if Klose was a few years younger, his presence would indeed have terrified Van Gaal.

But now Klose is too old, and his speed, body, and technology have long been much worse than before.

And the current Lazio manager is the forerunner. The Dali international, a former Milan celebrity, is known as the ghost of the offside line - Inzaghi Jr.

Lazio's results this season have been modest in Serie A, currently sixth in Serie A, having been beaten 4-0 at Juventus' home stadium this season.

But there were also 2-0 victories at home. Milan, in Van Gaal's opinion, is not a difficult opponent to deal with, but there is also the possibility of capsizing in the gutter.

......

Dragon Country.

Manchester United's Champions League first-round "Dragon Country Derby" against Lazio has been hyped up, and now almost all Dragon Country fans are watching this upcoming game.

A special program was set up on the Longguo Sports Channel to introduce this episode of the competition, and the guests were naturally Xiao Zhan and Zhang who were very familiar to the audience.

The first part of the show is that the audience sends a barrage to express their predictions about the outcome of the game.

"Okay, we can see that 79% of the crowd thinks Manchester United will win in the first round of the Champions League, while 21% think Lazio will win at their home stadium against Manchester United from afar. Xiao Zhan introduced the data.

Director Zhang nodded gently, "In fact, from the paper strength of the two teams, the audience's views are very correct. Although Lazio was one of the so-called 'seven sisters of Serie A', it has actually weakened in recent years.

"That's right." Xiao Zhan said.

At this time, Director Zhang changed his tone and said: "But - there is a characteristic of Serie A teams that I think everyone is very clear, that is, they are good at defense, and it is not easy for Manchester United to break through Lazio's defense. "

At the same time, Lazio's counter-attack, guided by Inzaghi Junior, is also very sharp, the team is good at quick counter-attacks, especially Klose is very good at kicking the goal, and Manchester United cannot underestimate them."

'Manchester United also have a huge drawback, namely the injury of their dressing room leader Wayne Rooney, who is more than just competitive on the pitch.

"Director Zhang, let's predict the game." Xiao Zhan said with a smile.

"Okay," said Zhang, "Manchester United beat Lazio 1-0 at home to Lazio. "

......

Stadio Olimpico in Rome, home of Serie A side Lazio.

"Shh-" A

huge boo came from the stands, and Chen Huan slowly stood up from the lawn.

The referee did not say anything, and three seconds earlier he had just been put to the ground by Lazio's iron waist.

At this moment, the game has reached the ground 76 minutes in the second half, and the live score is 0:0.

Manchester United had the upper hand on the field, but Lazio's strong defence kept United's attack out.

On the sidelines, Van Gaal's face was not good-looking.

After losing Rooney, he tried to get Mata to take Rooney's position, but it didn't work well.

There was a big problem with the operation of the midfield of the stadium.

"Sir, shall we make a substitution adjustment? I think we have to strengthen the combination of the midfield in the stadium. Davis made his own suggestion.

"But... Who do we change? "

Van Gaal certainly knows that now is the time to adjust by substitution, but the question is who he will come on.

"I think we can let Schneiderlin give it a try."

Van Gaal heard this and looked at Schneiderlin, who was watching the game seriously on the bench.

"He's a clear improvement now than before, and his ability to go up and down may help us." Davis continued to offer his opinion.

Van Gaal did not reply immediately, he once again fell his gaze on the green field, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Just do as you said, inform Schneiderlin and immediately make a substitution adjustment." While

Schneiderlin was warming up, Lazio made preemptive personnel changes.

"Zheng Jun."

In the Dragon Kingdom Sports Channel, the voice of the commentator Xiao Zhan suddenly raised a few points.

On the edge of the green field, Zheng Jun was ready to appear.

"Inzaghi is going to replace Parolo, who has already received a yellow card," Xiao Zhan analyzed: "This is to strengthen the team's defensive ability, it seems that Inzaghi is trying to defend the score at home, and the draw is explainable for Lazio."

Director Zhang also said: "Yes, if they can keep the home stadium and play away, they can try to steal goals." "

Worthy of being the most cunning striker standing on the offside line."

......

After Zheng Jun came on the field, he ran over and over again, waving his arms to his teammates to dress the tactics that the head coach had just laid out.

A moment later, Zheng Jun looked at Chen Huan, and at this time Chen Huan was also looking at him, and the eyes of the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then the two laughed together.

The game resumes.

Zheng Jun's appearance has undoubtedly improved the hardness of Lazio's midfield at this stage, and his more abundant fitness can guarantee his advantage in running and confrontation.
