Andrea Pirlo sat in the stands, right next to the Inter fans.

He was surrounded by Inter fans, some of whom were members of the Holy Spirit Order, who chanted slogans and pulled banners to cheer on their team and manager.

At the huge Old Trafford, the shouts of two or three thousand people were really small, really insignificant.

Andrea Pirlo was on the pitch in the first half, so he knew that the shouts of the fans could not be heard at all, not at all, because as soon as they shouted, they were immediately swallowed up by the sea of voices from the United fans.

Why do they continue to shout like this when they know it is insignificant, without stopping?

Don't they know that they are doing useless work?

Looking at it, Pirlo began to understand, not because they didn't understand, but because they didn't care!

This made Pirlo feel excited, and he believed that anyone who was in his environment at this moment would be assimilated by the crowd of passionate fans around him, and then like him, stand up and shout.

"Come on, Caesar! Inter Milan, come on!! ”

……

Yang Cheng watched silently from the sidelines, he still had his hands in his pockets, letting the camera and lights sweep over his body, he was wondering, what kind of mind and what kind of calculation was Ferguson?

The duel between football managers, aside from everything, is actually very important to guess.

Guess the other party's scheming, see what strategies they will use, what ideas, and then give targeted arrangements!

Soon, Yang Cheng came to the sidelines and made a gesture to Zambrotta, the left wing-back on the field, who saw it, confirmed it again, and finally nodded in agreement.

Soon, Zambrotta was in the left wing-back position, with Nedved and Van Bommel still running and defending in large areas, still helping Ruud van Nistelrooy and Batistuta to encircle and press Manchester United's central midfield.

Even Paul Scholes had to retreat to the front of the defence and David Beckham was suppressed, let alone Keane.

…………

…………

After Ruud van Nistelrooy pulled back to get the ball, he was forced by Stam behind him, and there was no choice but to knock the ball back.

Zanetti took a few steps forward and, after receiving the ball, shifted to the right, where Recoba, Zanetti and Van Bommel immediately converged on the right and quickly formed an attack.

However, after Ferguson's adjustments, Keane and Bart both focused on protecting the left side, so it was difficult for Recoba to take out Brown one-on-one as before, and after Inter's attack on the right hit the wall, the ball returned to Zanetti's feet.

This time Zanetti didn't stop the ball and passed it directly to the left.

I saw Zambrotta raise his right hand to ask for the ball, and after receiving the ball, he quickly dribbled the ball to the left.

United's defence was originally left-leaning, but immediately shifted to the right after Zambrotta took the ball and advanced.

Nedved leaned in, Zambrotta and the Czechs combined one-two at a time, directly past Beckham, and then used his speed to rush past the retreating Gary Neville.

But the England right full-back was not slow, sticking to him tightly, and a cross was blocked by him from the bottom line, a corner!

"Time is running out, 84 minutes, Inter Milan attacked the entire second half, but never been able to break through Manchester United's goal, but Manchester United performed well in the first half, and in the second half it was completely reduced to defenders, and even counterattacks were difficult to work."

Recoba came to the corner on the left and was talking to Zambrotta, who kept nodding his head as if he was going to play some corner kick against Manchester United!

Yang Cheng also nodded to Recoba on the sidelines, and the two sides had already communicated through gestures.

Lucio and Nesta were both present in the United penalty area, and it was a very good chance for Inter to score.

I saw Recoba raise his left hand high, slowly take a few steps back, take a deep breath, close his eyes, as if praying, and then rush forward quickly.

With a bang, the ball kicks the ball from his left foot!

Yes, kick out, not penalty! Recoba kicked the ball directly to Zambrotta, who was inserted in the back row, and the Italian crossed directly to the near post from a 45-degree angle without a Manchester United player to cover it. ,

At this time, the entire Manchester United penalty area was in chaos, and it completely turned into a gladiatorial arena.

Lucio cut in from behind, met Zambrotta's pass, and went straight to the ferry.

The ball went over the middle of the chaotic penalty area and went straight to the back post.

Batistuta ushered in the ball directly with a volley, this shot is powerful and heavy, typical Batti-style style!

At the critical moment, Blanco made a kick to intercept!

He did stop the ball, but it touched his leg, turned in a direction and drilled into the goal.

"Beep!!!!!"

The entire Old Trafford stadium fell silent for a moment, and then when the referee's gesture to score an effective goal, the Inter Milan fans' phalanx immediately erupted in a warm cheer, which was so emotional in the general silence of Manchester United fans.

Yang Cheng excitedly shook his fist in celebration, and then high-fived Batistuta who came to the sidelines, but he quickly came to his senses.

"Guys, calm down, calm down for me!" Yang Cheng's voice was particularly loud, and he didn't have the slightest intention of avoiding nearby Ferguson, as if he wanted to hear it.

"It's only 1:1, it's just a draw, don't give up, there's still time, we can continue to score, rush up for me, fucking attack!" He made excited gestures on the sidelines, encouraging the Inter players to attack.

The Inter Milan players all played like chicken blood, and finally got the score back, at this time, they naturally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and complete the reversal, and it was best to score a few more goals!

Nedved had already picked the ball out of the United goal and ran all the way to midfield, signaling the referee to kick off as soon as possible.

…………

…………

The game restarted and Inter continued to intensify their attack.

Ferguson has used one substitution so far, Yang Cheng has used twice, and both sides are still waiting for the other to make a move.

Ferguson immediately replaced underperforming striker Sheringham with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, as if to maintain the threat to Inter.

At the same time, Yang Cheng immediately replaced Van Bommel with Ventola, and did his best to attack Manchester United, vowing to win a victory.

The managers of both sides battled each other's wits, the players fought on the field, and the sidelines suddenly became very excited.

"It's really rare to see such an exciting scene, even at this moment, Yang Cheng is still thinking about attacking, reversing, Manchester United is not conservative, Inter Milan is also open to attack, the scene is so exciting!"

If most of the first half was a stagnant one, the second half was a game of flux, with Inter Milan playing aggressively and United holding on to their stubborn edge, but it was the final moments that were really remembered as both sides looked for chances.

Yang Cheng and Ferguson appeared on the sidelines, shouting at the players, signaling the players to press, looking for opportunities to attack, and shouting at the players.

This scene was captured on live footage and presented in front of countless fans around the world.

However, the game ended 1-1 with Inter Milan picking up one point at Old Trafford.

This is also Yang Cheng's calculation before the game, after all, this stadium is the home of the famous devil in Europe, and getting 1 point is already very rare for Inter Milan.

Manchester United is not Leeds United, the former is countless times more terrifying than the latter!

Europe is fighting for experience, fighting spirit, and will, and Manchester United is better than Inter Milan!

But Yang Cheng in this game, three substitutions, many adjustments, are all in place, just by virtue of his on-the-spot command, forced to lead Inter Milan from Old Trafford Stadium to get 1 point, he is definitely the number one contributor to Inter Milan in this game!

This also led to his praise directly after the game.

…………

............'It's a shame we didn't get the win until the end, we prepared well before the game, but the departure of Ryan Giggs deprived us of an attacking weapon up front, if he can keep going, we will definitely get a win! ”

'Yang Cheng's performance in this game was very surprising, especially in the second half, his substitutions and adjustments were very important and played a huge role, Inter played better in the second half, but they didn't actually create a really decisive chance, so I'm happy with our backline. ,

'Of course, I have to admit that they did play a good half and I think they were justified in equalising!'

'As for Wess Brown, I'm sure he'll be able to bounce back from the setback, there's no need for Blanco to feel guilty about the own goal, he's done really well and I'm sure we'll be able to get out of this game quickly because we have more games to play!'

In the face of Ferguson's praise, Yang Cheng also seemed very personable.

"Manchester United is a very good team, they are very good at playing the lead, but the worst thing we are at is playing against the wind, so after conceding the goal, I really thought that it would be difficult to turn defeat into victory, but I don't think I will be reconciled!"

"The last time I came to Old Trafford, I lost a 0-2, I came this time, and I still lost?"

Yang Cheng is clearly still resentful of what happened to him at Kaiserslautern, and that time he also fell to Ferguson.

'I didn't give in, so I gave it up and in the end I'm happy, my players showed a lot of courage and we managed to take one point away from Old Trafford, and there is no more satisfying result!'

"Today's second half was a great example of the spirit of our Inter Milan in a difficult situation, and I believe it helps to improve the morale and the will of our team, but I always think that the victory belongs to us, so I will say, you are lucky, Manchester United!"

"Really?" Ferguson asked rhetorically with a smile.

Yang Cheng couldn't help nodding, "Meacha Stadium, we will definitely defeat you!" ”

"I thought so too!" Ferguson accepted the challenge with a smile.

The reporters at the scene suddenly burst into a commotion, and one of them stood up, "Or the two of you just have a gamble!" ”

"Bet?" Yang Cheng smiled.

"Okay!" Ferguson agreed directly, "Just bet...... After the game, the winner treats the loser for a drink! ”

Yang Cheng nodded, unafraid, "Then I have to prepare a bottle of wine!" ”

"I'll bring the best private collection in my cellar, and you'll have to prepare the best glasses!" Ferguson smiled triumphantly, his face flushed, as if he had a chance to win.

"I'm not as stingy as you, I'll prepare the best red wine, and the best barware, and if you want, I can also prepare the most authentic Chinese food for you as a side dish!" Yang Cheng was not to be outdone.

The reporters laughed in unison when they heard that the two of them were not to be outdone to each other.

After that, they asked a few more questions, but they were all related to the game, and the bet was confirmed by them.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yang Cheng, Pirlo, a player who is highly valued and cultivated by you, has never shown trustworthy strength, especially in this game, the performance is even worse, the outside world doubts him a lot, do you have any explanation?"

Yang Cheng smiled slightly, "Excuse me, how old is Pirlo this year?" ”

The reporter was stunned for a moment and thought for a while, "It seems to be ...... 21 years old. ”

"Yes, what about Roy Keane?"

"29 years old!" This time, the reporter answered very slippery. "Yes, journalist friend, you answered correctly, a 21-year-old rookie, facing a 29-year-old old fritter, and the best old fritter in the world, do you want him to beat Keane completely? Or do you think he should be like Superman in the movie, after encountering a little setback, he rises quickly, and then kills all sides? ”

The reporter was speechless.

'Every player is making mistakes, refining and improving, and the same goes for Andrea Pirlo, and I'm sure at 21 he may not be as good as Keane, but if he is given a little more time, he will be able to prove himself and by the time he is 29, he will be a top star who is not inferior to Keane, even a superstar!"

"If you ask me which Inter player is the most exciting to look forward to right now, I can answer you, Andrea Pirlo! He will be the future of Inter Milan, a soul-level figure! ”

With these words, Yang Cheng said with great confidence.

He feels that at such a time, it is necessary to give Pirlo support and encouragement, rather than suppression and encouragement, because the self-confidence of young players is always very weak, as long as a little stimulation, it is possible to make their hard-built self-confidence collapse, which is the knowledge that Yang Cheng learned from psychology. ,

…………

…………

The news of Inter Milan's exit from Old Trafford immediately dominated the front pages of the European media the following day, as it was almost a direct conversation between two of the most influential teams in the Champions League this season, attracting the attention of fans around the world.

Manchester United are hailed as the second favourites behind Real Madrid, even surpassing Bayern Munich, who have been in good form in the Bundesliga recently, while Inter Milan have been weak for many years, and have risen strongly in the past two seasons after Yang Cheng took over.

The dialogue between the two teams is naturally full of gimmicks, especially Yang Cheng's three substitutions and multiple adjustments in the second half, which are very talked-about, and countless professionals have highly praised his on-the-spot command ability, believing that without his on-the-spot command, it would be difficult for Inter Milan to retreat from Old Trafford.

In the other game in Group A, Deportivo defeated Ligue 1 side Lyon 3-1 away, and with this victory, they won the first place in Group A.

However, in two weeks' time, they will face Inter Milan in the second round of their group, and Inter Milan will travel to the Riazor Stadium in Deportivo La Coruna, and it is believed that it will be another battle of dragons.

…………

…………

Returning from Manchester, Inter Milan went straight to the away game to challenge promoted Vicenza non-stop.

This is the team when Baggio debuted, he was born in Vicenza, this is his hometown, Yang Cheng specially arranged him this time, so that he can show his skills in front of his hometown.

There is a saying that is very true, wealth does not return to the hometown, just like a brocade at night!

Baggio has been in such good form this season that it would be a bit unreasonable not to show him his face here in Vicenza.

Baggio, who returned to the lineup, did not feel afraid of his hometown in the face of the fans in his hometown, but showed his very good competitive form, leading Inter Milan to defeat Vicenza 3-1 away and win eight consecutive league games.

Baggio, who scored twice, was also selected as the best player of the round with his outstanding performance in this game.

In Vicenza, the local fans gave the local superstar the most enthusiastic applause and cheers, although Baggio had just helped Inter Milan beat Vicenza, but they did not hold any grudges about it, and even countless fans are still talking about Baggio's years in Vicenza.

The star-studded Inter Milan came to Vicenza and made a huge contribution to the team's attendance!

After the game, Inter Milan returned to Milan to prepare for the midweek Coppa Italia match.

The Coppa Italia in midweek is the first leg of the competition, and the team travels to Venezia.

Because there is a key matchup with Juventus at the weekend, Yang Cheng considered arranging some of the main players to rest in midweek, but Baggio has been in excellent form recently, coupled with the early rest of the game against Vicenza, so he will still play as a striker in this game, and Yang Cheng was included in the game squad.

In addition, there is Ronaldo, who will also follow the team to the away game, this 18-man squad was the first to be announced at the press conference held by Inter Milan the day before the Italian Cup.

As for the lineup, as is customary, it will still not be revealed until before the game.
