Chapter 227: Fighting Spirit

Manchester United won at home to Arsenal and now the pressure is on Chelsea's side of the league.

If they want to keep their league title hopes alive, they must win this round of the league.

By the time Chelsea were playing Middlesbrough, the entire United squad was on their flight to Munich.

Li Qingshan closed his eyes on the plane to recuperate, and the other players also had their own things, some were listening to music with headphones, and some were chatting with each other.

The mobile phones on the plane were turned off, so everyone didn't know the situation of the game on the Chelsea side.

However, as soon as he got off the plane, Lingard turned on his iPad and immediately checked the result of the Chelsea game.

"Two to zero... Chelsea won.." Lingard said with some regret.

The crowd who were waiting for the results to be announced also sighed with regret.

If you can, of course, you want to lock in the championship as soon as possible.

However, the players quickly put that behind them because for Manchester United, they still have two games to play, and a point in those two games will make the league title a certainty.

Manchester United's players don't think they're going to suffer two defeats in a row in the final two rounds of the league......

Li Qingshan will not think so, he will not let such a thing happen, in Li Qingshan's opinion, the league championship has basically been bagged, and now the most important game left by Manchester United is the second leg of this Champions League semi-final!

This is the match that will determine who will make it to the final!

At the airport, Bayern Munich fans gave Manchester United a dismount, and when they came out of the airport, Bayern fans hung provocative slogans to "welcome" Manchester United's arrival.

When he first arrived in Munich, he was treated like this by Bayern fans, and you can imagine what kind of away environment Manchester United will encounter at the Allianz Arena.

....

In fact, both sides are very cautious about this game.

Manchester United have found an enclosed football stadium in Munich to use as a training base, and all media reporters are closed to all media except for a 15-minute daily media opening time.

In fact, even for fifteen minutes, the reporters couldn't see anything, they could only see the players running on the pitch, and Ancelotti would not arrange any tactical training during this time.

In fact, Bayern Munich is similar, Heynckes is notoriously cautious, and Bayern Munich is on the passive side in this game in general, because even if they have an away goal in hand, they are still the side behind in the score, no matter what, Bayern Munich must win.

The media can't interview the players of both sides, and it is difficult to find out how the training of the two sides is going, so in the media, everyone's accounts are inconsistent.

The media on Bayern Munich's side began to release smoke bombs, saying that Arjen Robben may have a recurrence of an old calf muscle injury and may not be able to play, and then it is Lahm who has a high fever and may not be able to play in this game, and then Ribery seems to be in a certain situation.

Judging from the news in the media, Bayern Munich seems to be putting on a substitute lineup to face the game.

The truth of the news is true or false, which makes Manchester United's coaching staff a little confused.

"Robben seems to be really injured, and he was not found on the training ground yesterday..."

Ancelotti had a stack of newspapers in his hand, and Giggs whispered in his ear.

"No matter what, no matter which of them gets hurt, we're going to play at our own pace!!"

"Shall we set off some smoke bombs?"

Ancelotti thought about it, in fact, no one knows how effective the smoke bomb is, after all, Heynckes will not change his strategy after reading the newspaper.

"No need, it's not good if the other party doesn't get confused, but it makes our mentality messed up."

Ancelotti said.

.......

It's May, and at the foot of the Alps in Bavaria, southern Germany, meltwater from the mountains meanders down a tributary of the Danube River past Munich.

Bayern fans from the streets of Munich appeared on the streets, holding the temperament of Bayern Munich, wearing red home Bayern jerseys, and flocked to the Allianz Arena.

At this time, Manchester United's players have also set off from the hotel and started to go to the stadium to prepare for the much-anticipated Champions League semi-final match.

At this time, Bayern's players had just gathered from a hotel near the Allianz Arena, and to the cheers of many fans outside the hotel, Bayern Munich also boarded the bus to their home stadium.

For Bayern Munich, of course, they will be hoping to win this game at home against Manchester United and qualify for the Champions League final!!

Like Manchester United, Bayern have won the Bundesliga this season, while in the German Cup, Bayern won the German Cup last weekend by beating Borussia Dortmund.

It is another domestic double championship season, and in front of Bayern Munich is this Champions League game!

Heynckes announced his retirement after the last season when Bayern won the treble, but he didn't expect that four years later, Heynckes, who was already in his prime, would return to coach Bayern as a firefighting coach.

Will Heynckes continue to coach Bayern next season?

It all depends on whether Bayern can find the right coach....

In a word, Heynckes really did his best for Bayern.

"The last time we won the Champions League was four years ago, but there are a lot of players here who have gone through that season. It was a great season," said Heynckes in the home dressing room.

'Whether I went through that season or not, I think it's absolutely wonderful to win the Champions League. Heynckes continued.

"The score of 1-2 away from home, although it is not too good, but we got an away goal, and finally retained the hope of advancing to the second leg."

'We've said enough about the tactical details this week. Now I just want to emphasize one thing that is!! Heynckes held out a finger: "I will only accept victory in this match!! ”

"Only a win can get us to the cross!! Only victory will get us to the final!! Only a win can give us a taste of the Champions League again!!! ”

"This is our home !!"

After Heynckes finished speaking, Mueller and the others stood up.

"Beat them on our home turf !!"

In the home dressing room, the morale of the players was fully boosted.

The same scene was seen in United's dressing room.

It's a match that has a ticket to the Champions League final at stake, and the players on both sides are full of fighting spirit!
