After defeating Manchester City, the next game is against Aston Villa. Regarding the starting lineup for this game, Kintag still hesitated for a long time. Theoretically, the Champions League is three days after this game, this game should allow the main players to rest appropriately. However, the team just won Manchester City and the two teams have the same points. Now it is also a critical stage of the league. At this time, it is also necessary to rush for points to ensure a stable ranking.

After discussions with Scholes and Ferran, Gintag finally felt that he had decided to grab the Champions League, and this game was properly rotated.

In this game, Jin Taige replaced many veterans to play, Giggs, Carrick, Ferdinand led the three.

Substitute players Alisson, Nainggolan, Ashley Young, Icardi and others also all got the chance to play.

Jintaige sent this starting lineup, which is also good, against Aston Villa at home.

Manchester City continue their invincible.

Manchester City have been in bad luck recently. They have lost several important games in a row and will continue to face strong opponents at the end of the season. After this round of the league against Arsenal, they will play against Liverpool in the next round. Such a schedule makes Manchester City unlucky.

After playing in this league, Gentager completely abandoned all thoughts and prepared wholeheartedly for the next Champions League game.

On March 31, Bayern Munich players and coaches flew to Manchester in advance to prepare for the next day's game. The straight line distance between Munich and Manchester is about 1133 kilometers. It can be reached by plane in more than two hours, not too far away.

In the afternoon, Bayern coach Guardiola held a press conference. At the press conference, he praised the recent performance of Manchester United.

"Manchester United is one of the top teams in the world. They have a wealth of riches. Since the new coach Jin Taige took office this season, Manchester United has performed very well. They are also in a good shape. Kos's game was even more admirable. "

A reporter asked Guardiola what is the goal of this game?

Guardiola responded very humblely: "We will be defensive at Old Trafford. I am very happy to have a draw here. There are many excellent players in Manchester United, especially It is their striker Wayne Rooney, who is currently the Premier League's first striker. He will be our focus today. "

At this time, Guardian reporter Toynby asked: "Coach Guardiola, we heard that this winter, Bayern once bid to Manchester United for Wayne Rooney. This thing has been circulating in the room. Is this really the case?"

After Guardiola listened, he smiled slightly and did not directly answer: "Rooney is now the Premier League star, his strength is beyond doubt, and Rooney's professionalism is admirable. If you have the opportunity to put such a player Incurred by Your Majesty, which head coach would refuse? "

In the morning of the next day, Manchester United also held a pre-match press conference. Jin Taige was very cautious. He didn't say much about the goal of the game, but just said that his team will go all out to try to dedicate to the fans. exciting competition.

Guardian reporter Toynbee asked, "Coach Gintag, at a Bayern press conference yesterday, Guardiola said he was very interested in Rooney. What do you think of this?"

Ginger tucked his face and said seriously: "Who is Guardiola interested in, that is his business but Rooney is now a Manchester United player and he has no relationship with Bayern at all ~ www.novelhall.com ~ He is A professional player will do his best to help the team win the next game. "

The coaches of the two teams have already started a psychological battle before they formally played against each other.

On the evening of April 1, Manchester United and Bayern players entered Old Trafford in advance to warm up before the game.

The players of both teams are very fancy about this game, but the situation of the two teams in the league is somewhat different.

Manchester United have just tied Manchester City in the Premier League points. Since the chaos is confusing but Bayern has booked the Bundesliga title earlier this year, they are currently ahead of second-place Dortmund by 15 points and the league title is about to be harvested in advance. With the early harvest of the league title, Bayern can focus all its energy on the Champions League.

They won the Triple Crown last season and became Champions League champions. After Guardiola took office this season, his goal is to help the team defend the Champions League, becoming the first team and coach to defend the Champions League after the Champions League restructuring.
