Chapter 418 Reassurance
soon,
That day has come.
The relationship between Ferguson and Rangers coach McGleish is obviously very close. When a fellow countryman meets a fellow countryman, both of them burst into tears. At the press conference before the game, McGleish expressed his sympathy for Ferguson: "I know Alec Sri Lanka's team has been having a hard time recently, with successive injuries destroying nearly half of their main team. If it were me, I might go crazy."
“But I don’t think Manchester United can be defeated easily. On the contrary, I think they will show amazing fighting power. The Rangers must play very carefully when they come here. Once they are careless, it may be a tragedy. "
Faced with the sympathy and praise from his fellow countrymen, Ferguson was not really happy. "Is McGleish going to use psychological warfare? We didn't think about many other things. We just hoped to play this game well at home, but he had One thing is right, Manchester United will definitely show strong fighting power..."

"Van der Sar,"
"Neville, Vidic, Pique, Richardson;"
"Fletcher, Carrick, Park,"
"Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney, Dong."
"Giggs is on the bench, seems to have some minor injuries, Basili, Sylvester, Howard, Rossi, O'Shea."
"Yeah, that's basically all Manchester United has left."
Lineker has never seen Manchester United in such a miserable situation. The top giants have just enough to make up the 18-man roster, and Giggs still has some minor injuries, and the guys on the bench are not that strong.
"But today, I believe they can win against Rangers at home. If Manchester United can seize the opportunity, the second round will be much easier. With the current state of the Trident, they can definitely score, I just don't know. Will they concede the ball..."
"The more difficult Manchester United is in, the more exciting games and goals they will play. Let's wait and see."
"The list of players on the Rangers side is a bit interesting. Ferguson's name is clearly on the list. Of course, those are Rangers players. Except for Ferguson, all the other main players in the league are on the field. They play a 442 formation. .”
"25-Watellus; 2o-Hatton, 16-Rodriguez, 14-Giljakos, 34-Smith; 17-Booker, 7-Hemdani, 6-Ferguson, 31-Namuhi ;26-Löwenkrantz, 9-Pulsau..."
The Old Trafford Stadium was packed. During the most difficult time for Manchester United, Manchester United fans were tightly united. There was no more quarrel with the Glazer family, and no more protests against Ferguson. Everyone now needs to be in the same boat and accompany Manchester United through it. Difficulties.
Manchester United fell at the feet of Milan last year. This year, Manchester United hopes to go further, and Rangers is the best opponent. With such a good signing opponent, if Manchester United can play them like Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, then There will be great hope for everything.
"The performance of Rangers this season is not ideal. After 27 rounds, they are only ranked third in the Soviet Union. Not only are they 21 points behind Celtic, but they are also 8 points behind Hearts, who are second in the league. Coach McGleish has already He has stated that he will leave his post at the end of the season, and Le Guan, a Frenchman who led Lyon to win four consecutive French Ligue 1 titles, is expected to take over."
"Although the league results are not good, Rangers unexpectedly qualified from the group and reached the top 16 in this Champions League. This is the first time that the Soviet team has entered the knockout stage since the Champions League was restructured. This match with Villarreal Before the game, McGleish also made a special phone call to fellow Manchester United coach Sir Alex Ferguson to express his respect for him."
"Although they have a poor record domestically, we must not underestimate the Rangers. They are paired up front with a pair of high-impact high forwards Lowenkrans and Pulsau, with the original main forward Boyd sitting on the front line. On the bench, midfielder Bouffel was also replaced by Namuhi who had participated in the African Cup of Nations."
Dong Fangzhuo stood at the door of the locker room, high-fiving and hugging every Manchester United player.
At this time, he wants to unite everyone closely and fight a beautiful battle for Manchester United.
He didn't know any of the players on the Rangers side. This was a completely unfamiliar team with no real star in the team. Such a team can only learn more about it through game videos before the game.
Watching videos is quite tiring and boring, but during these three days, Ferguson kept asking everyone to watch the Rangers games, so that everyone could have a fuller understanding of the players in front of them.
In fact, even after watching them for three days, Dong Fangzhuo and the others could not recognize their faces and could only remember their jersey numbers.
What Dong Fangzhuo needs to remember is their two central defenders No. 16 and No. 14, because these are the two guys he has to deal with.
In fact, the characteristics of the central defenders are similar to those of the tall defenders in England. They cannot be better than those in England, otherwise they would not be in Rangers, but in England...
Those two guys had glanced at Dong Fangzhuo countless times since they met him. Those who didn't know it thought there was something wrong with their sexual orientation.
Manchester United fans sang the Manchester United anthem loudly before the game started and cheered everyone loudly.
Dong Fangzhuo's name is the loudest.
But what touched Dong Fangzhuo the most was that the fans held banners to cheer and pray for Smith, hoping that he could recover from his injury as soon as possible.
Beep——
The referee from Germany blew the whistle for the game.
Manchester United took advantage of their home court advantage immediately after the opening and performed actively, quickly suppressing the Rangers players in the half court and preventing them from easily taking the ball past Manchester United.
In the first three minutes, the Rangers felt Manchester United's frenetic offensive energy and became a mess in the penalty area.
McGleish was anxious on the sidelines.
The Rangers were besieged for several minutes. In the 7th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo smashed two players on the right and then caused a corner kick.
Rooney took a corner kick on the right. When Pursau was defending Vidic, he found that Vidic was unstoppable. He suddenly stretched out an arm to hug Vidic, and Vidic fell decisively!
Beep——
The referee decisively pointed to the penalty spot and awarded a penalty kick.
Manchester United fans can't believe that Manchester United has such a good start...
If Pursaud hadn't really fouled, they would have thought that the referee was pitying Manchester United.
The Manchester United players on the field also cheered instantly. Although the penalty kick has not been scored yet, it seems that it has been scored...
Dong Fangzhuo is naturally the best choice for penalty kicks. He stood in front of the penalty spot and made it in one fell swoop without any delay.
In the 7th minute, Manchester United took a 1:o lead! Manchester United fans took reassurance.
And McGleish on the sidelines had a sullen look on his face, and he suddenly felt as if he had been tricked by fellow Ferguson?
