The first match of the 2017 UEFA Champions League knockout stage finally kicked off on 14 February.

"Will Manchester United be able to hold on safely in the first leg?" Former England goalscorer Shearer, who has long been a Sky TV commentator, sat in the live studio early and asked, Manchester United's results this season are actually very good, with Chelsea and Manchester City, and the results at home are also very good, except for a loss to Chelsea, no other team can get three points in the Theater of Dreams.

It stands to reason that the Theatre of Dreams should be a nightmare for all teams this season, with no one able to shake Manchester United's home turf.

It's just that Shearer was uncharacteristically uncharacteristically today, believing that Manchester United did not have any advantage at home, just because the team they were facing was Juventus.

"Juventus's lineup is nothing special, in the face of a strong team, they will discharge the strongest 11 people, but today is a bit of a surprise, the veteran Pirlo starts, this is really unexpected, Pirlo is thirty-seven years old! There really aren't a few Giggs in the world. If Manchester United can win at home, it is estimated that the problem lies with Pirlo, maybe Allegri's idea is good, with an experienced veteran sitting in the midfield, you can better control the pace of the game, Pirlo is a player who has experienced countless ups and downs, and has eaten more salt than other players on the field, but this is the Premier League, not a slow Serie A, Pirlo is likely to drag his old body to play for ten minutes and not be able to keep up with the rhythm. ”

Shearer was quick to point out Allegri's tactical heel and suggested that Andrea Pirlo should not be in the starting line-up, but he didn't say anything about it.

However, Pirlo still has two teammates around him to protect, Verratti and Marchisio on the left and right, and the back three may be a bright spot, and in the face of the impact of Manchester United's players, the back three should still be relatively safe, which can only show. Their trump card is still Liu, and maybe they don't want to make a difference on the road at all, just waiting for United to make a mistake. ”

'Alain, you're thinking too much, you're only half right and half wrong, Andrea Pirlo is old, but his role is important, I've watched a lot of his games this season, although he's in the midfield. But he is not responsible for the responsibility of the back at all, he is actually a forward midfielder, the position is quite free, this game is actually to see the play of Pirlo and Liu, if both play at a high level, Manchester United is really dangerous. Scholes, another England legend who had been quietly listening to Shearer's analysis, added, "In addition, what Ryan can do, Andrea can definitely do." He's not as physically fit as that guy. ”

As a guest commentator, Scholes was concerned about Manchester United but did not get carried away, but analyzed the two teams very objectively.

With more than half an hour to go before the game, the two of them were already talking.

"Alas. I just don't know what tactics Fan Zhuoyi uses to deal with it, I'm afraid he is more conservative than usual? Scholes shook his head, thinking of Van Gaal's usual skills and tactics, and there was an inexplicable sense of melancholy in his heart.

Louis van Gaal's side now have ridiculously high possession. But in fact, the offensive efficiency is quite low, and it is not really absolute dominance in front of the opponent.

"Ha, Paul. He's just a liar, using possession to deceive fans......" Shearer couldn't help laughing, "I heard that the lord had dinner with Liu last night, is Manchester United interested in buying him?" Paul. ”

"I don't know much about this, the lord never plays cards according to common sense......"

"Morning newspaper sales are going crazy, it's estimated that nine out of ten ......"

※※※※

In the stands of Old Trafford, the figure of the lord is still the same, but there is another familiar guest next to him, the alien Ronaldo, who once scored a Champions League hat trick at the Theater of Dreams, also sits in the stands. This time, people will not speculate that the lord is also playing Ronaldo's idea, after all, the alien has been retired for many years, and his body is too fat to look good......

Unlike last night's dinner, when he was a little depressed, the lord kept smiling with Ronaldo and seemed to have really signed the great striker.

There are also many celebrities who have gathered at the Theater of Dreams to watch the first knockout game of the new season.

Juventus' starting line-up has been decided, but as Shearer and Paul Scholes have said, Van Gaal's starting line-up has not yet been announced, perhaps by a trick and wanted to be announced ten minutes before the start of the game.

However, no matter how late the squad is announced, Ronaldo's name will not be less, as for the others, it is unknown, Van Gaal likes to rotate constantly, every game is a surprise, and this one seems to be no exception.

Eventually, it came out after a long time, and then, it did scare Shearer and Scholes.

Of course, it also scared Juventus Allegri a lot.

Van Gaal did not call Fan Throw 100 this time, Fan Throw attacked......

A super offensive formation - 3142.

Everyone knows that this guy likes to put three defenders, but the 3142 formation is indeed a very risky behavior in modern football.

I have to say that Van Gaal really gave everyone a considerable shock this time.

It's a bit of an idea to do it all at once!

Uncle Ao's face is so embarrassed that he can't be embarrassed anymore, like the feeling of completely falling into the trap of the other party, which is the rhythm of attacking Juventus.

Now, it's too late for him to adjust the lineup......

In the past two years, playing with a team with Liu Hao, the other party is often very cautious, even the strongest Barcelona did not dare to show its hideous face, but today Van Gaal did it.

This is also a last resort.

"It's impressive, it's watching, this game is definitely watching! Louis van Gaal is finally looking like a champion manager! Even Scholes, who has always been uninterested in Van Gaal, had to praise Van Gaal's change of formation this time, which was completely unexpected by him.

"This time Juventus is in danger, maybe there will be a new pattern in the first ten minutes." Shearer nodded in agreement.

Siege! Aggro! Lightning! As soon as the game began, Manchester United showed their attacking prowess, and Juventus immediately fell into a panic!

The midfielders were exhausted, and the Juventus players, who were used to the rhythm of Serie A, soon couldn't keep up with the rhythm of Manchester United!

Liu Hao became a spectator in the front court, and no ball could be passed to his feet!

Another partner, Mandzukizi, could only run back to put out the fire.

However, Ronaldo was like in 08, like a god, he became the master of the game, and in the eighth minute, he scored! Typical point-grabbing shots, effortlessly and effortlessly. Chiellini, the old Italian international who was in charge of marking him, still couldn't stop the cunning Ronaldo, and the score was rewritten to 0:1!

If you want to say that the player who is the most undefeated player in the world, it is Cristiano Ronaldo who is allowed!

At such an age, why are you still fighting so hard! Liu Hao looked really bitter, this seemed to be the fastest goal he had conceded in so long.

It looks like we're going to have a tough fight again today...... (To be continued......)
