Jordan Media: The front page title of "The Jordan Times" has only one word. "Not accepted!"
The following article reads, ""We encountered China Hong Kong again? Why? We don't accept it. Isn't there a principle of avoidance in the same group?
They were beaten twice in the top 20, and they had to face Zhang Kuang. Jordan in the top ten. Why is the fate of football so bad?
It's not that we don't have the strength, we defeated all other opponents, but we couldn't pass the Zhang Kuang level. Is this a strength gap or a trick of fate?"
Comments from Jordan netizen:
"I thought I would cry, but I didn't. Every time Jingjing thinks about the scene of being abused by Zhang Kuang, my heart goes through pain. Ah, what a painful feeling. You were my nightmare, but why did you come back again after you left? Ah, what a painful feeling..."
"Hey, this poem is well written, but it's too sad."
"Zhang Kuang is going to score again, how many will it be this time?"
"Let's start with three."
"I decided not to watch those two games to avoid having a heart attack."
"No! The more difficult it is, the more we must support the team!"
"..."
The title of Lebanon media "Lebanon Daily" is. "We were assigned to the group of death. Although the two top ten groups are both groups of death, this group is even more deadly!"
The article wrote, "Lebanon has made history by being able to reach the top ten, but we were assigned to Group A: South Korea, Iran, Jordan, China Hong Kong, Lebanon.
Every team is better than us, especially China Hong Kong has Zhang Kuang. Lebanon's goal is not to qualify, but to play its own style and win respect for Lebanon football."
Comments from Lebanon netizen:
"Good guys, all four opponents are strong teams."
"We are here to study with the prince."
"Winning one game is a victory."
"Scoring a goal is victory!"
"Don't expect too much, have been here, loved it, enjoyed it... enjoy it all!"
"Huh? Why does it sound like a testimonial about being raped repeatedly?"
"Being able to be raped by strong men in turn shows that you still have some beauty, so you should be proud."
"Ah? Do you have to be proud of this?"
"..."
When the lottery results were announced, Zhang Kuang was having breakfast in Manchester's apartment.
A notification popped up on the phone. "The draw for the top ten competition is announced: South Korea, Iran, China Hong Kong, three super teams Asia are in the same group!"
Zhang Kuang put down the bun, clicked it and took a look.
"Group A... why is it A again? South Korea, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon... it's okay!"
He smiled and continued eating his buns.
He doesn't have time to pay too much attention to things about World Cup qualifiers, because Manchester United has a very intensive schedule.

Zhang Kuang was stopped by reporters in the mixed zone. "You just scored your 70th league goal this season, how do you feel?"
Zhang Kuang scratched his head. "To be honest, I don't feel anything. Don't you have to score some goals in every game? Scoring goals is not important. What is important is that the team can keep winning. I like to score goals and win championships at the same time."
The reporter asked, "UEFA Champions League will play against AC Milan on March 7. Are you confident?"
Zhang Kuang smiled, "San Siro is a great stadium. I grew up watching their games. But I didn't go to visit, I went to win."

On the afternoon of March 5, the Manchester United team took a charter flight and landed at Milan Malpensa Airport.
Hundreds of reporters and fans had gathered outside the airport. When Zhang Kuang walked out of the arrival gate, the flash lights lit up.
Italy reporters pressed forward with microphones in hand and asked questions in English with a strong accent.
"Zhang! How much do you know about AC Milan?"
"Zhang! Do you think you can score a goal at San Siro?"
"Zhang! Ibrahimović is injured, do you think Milan still has a chance?"
"Zhang..."
Zhang Kuang simply answered a few questions. He said, 'AC Milan is a great team that has won many championships, especially the UEFA Champions League championship. It is the club that has won the most UEFA Champions League championships after Real Madrid. There have been many great players here...'
In short, it was a big compliment that made the reporters happy, and then said that he would use all his abilities to carefully deal with AC Milan's defense, and strive to escape here...
After the interview, Zhang Kuang wore headphones, smiled and waved to the fans, walked through the crowd and got on the team bus.
The bus drives to the hotel in the city center of Milan.
Outside the window, many Manchester United fans can be seen on the streets of Milan. They are wearing red jerseys, singing songs on the streets, and holding beer glasses in their hands.
After a night's rest, the next day, the Manchester United team came to San Siro Stadium for training to adapt to the venue.
When Zhang Kuang stepped onto the turf of San Siro, he raised his head and looked around this great stadium with 80 years of history.
"How do you feel?" Rooney walked to him.
Zhang Kuang took a deep breath. "There is a sense of twilight, thick and heavy, lacking some vitality and vitality."
Rooney was stunned for a moment and gave a thumbs up. "He is indeed the most educated player among football stars. He said these words so well."
Zhang Kuang: "Hey, learn a little bit, this is called the sense of historical depth."
Rooney smiled, "Speaking of history, we will also create history here today."
Zhang Kuang:"Haha... that's right."
After the training, Ferguson accepted a brief interview with the BBC on the sidelines of the court.
"Sir Ferguson, what do you think of tomorrow's game?"
Ferguson chewed gum. "Milan is a great team, but we are in good shape, our trident is quite sharp, and the defensive end is also running in very well now."
Reporter: ""Are you worried that Milan's defense will prevent Manchester United's goal?"
Ferguson:"Thiago·Silva is a world-class central defender, but our offense is also world-class."
On the evening of March 6, the pre-match press conference was held in the press hall of San Siro.
Reporters from Milan and Manchester United packed the whole room, and even the aisles were full of people.
Allegri is the first to appear.
He was wearing a black suit and looked serious.
When he sat down, the flashlights came on for a minute.
"I have made all preparations for tomorrow's game." Allegri got straight to the point, "We have studied every game of Manchester United, especially Zhang Kuang's running habits, and we have made targeted arrangements."
The reporter raised his hand. "What are the specific deployments for Zhang Kuang?"
Allegri stared at the reporter who asked the question, "If I say it here, wouldn't I become AC Milan's mole?
Mourinho has been catching the mole for a whole season in Real Madrid. Is it possible that we, AC Milan, let the mole reveal his true colors at the release meeting?"
There was a burst of laughter from the audience.
Another reporter asked, "Ibrahimović is out due to injury, how do you solve the offensive problem?"
Allegri was silent for two seconds. "We have Pato, Robinho, and Seedorf. They are all players with UEFA Champions League experience. Ibrahimović's absence is a loss, but football is not won by one person."
Last question, "Are you afraid of Zhang Kuang?"
The corner of Allegri's mouth twitched. "Of course I'm scared. My daughter likes Zhang Kuang very much, but everyone knows how dirty Zhang Kuang's private life is. I'm very afraid that my daughter knows Zhang Kuang. She's only 16 years old."
"Haha..."
Ferguson then appeared.
His state was as relaxed as Allegri, and he even opened a bottle of mineral water and took a sip before speaking.
"Milan is a very romantic city. At the same time, the two teams of Milan are also teams with rich histories. It is a challenge and an honor to play against one of them. I hope I can return with a full load tomorrow."
The reporter asked, "You said before that Zhang Kuang is a 'player born for big scenes'. Is San Siro considered a big scene?"
Ferguson smiled, "Of course, this is the UEFA Champions League 1/4 finals, and the opponent is AC Milan. If this is not a big scene, then nothing is a big scene. Zhang Kuang will like it."
The reporter asked, "Do you think he can score a goal in San Siro?"
Ferguson paused. "I think he can not only score goals, I think he can score two."
Reporter: "Just now Allegri said that he is afraid of Zhang Kuang because his 16-year-old daughter likes Zhang Kuang very much and is afraid that Zhang Kuang, who knows his daughter, will have a private life. In this regard, do you think Zhang Kuang's private life should be controlled?"
"Well, I'm sorry, I'm just a football coach, not his parent, so I can't control it. Besides, his behavior is legal in Europe, isn't it?
Of course, I also understand Allegri's concerns, so try not to let his daughter know Zhang Kuang, otherwise, everyone will understand, haha..."
The reporters in the audience also laughed.

Milan fans gathered outside the South Stand. They sang the traditional Milan team song, and their uniform singing echoed in the streets.
An old fan wearing a Milan scarf said to his friends, "Have you heard? Gelaini is afraid that Zhang Kuang will seduce his daughter, haha... If I were his daughter, I would also like Zhang Kuang. He is handsome, has good football skills, and the most important thing is that he is also good in bed."
Friend: "Haha, the key is, does Zhang Kuang like it?"
The old fans were silent.
At 17:30, buses from both teams arrived at the stadium.

Then came the AC Milan bus.

"Gentlemen," he said, "There are seventy-nine thousand fans outside. Most of them are Milan fans. They will boo you, they will scold you, and they will do everything they can to disturb you."
He paused.
"That's not important. The important thing is that we are here to win. Zhang Kuang, your position is free on the left. Rooney, you cross more on the right. Hernández, you stay in the penalty area and wait for the ball. I want to score goals, score a lot of goals, do you understand?"
He looked around. "The others have two things to do. One is to guard against the kicks of Milan's attackers, and the other is to pass the ball to the three people in the frontcourt. Remember - San Siro is not invincible, let's show them."
19:55, player tunnel, players from both sides line up in the player tunnel.

At 20:00, the players entered the venue, and the live broadcast sounded, ""Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to San Siro Stadium! The one entering now is--AC Milan!"
The flags of the South Stand began to fly, and the Milan team song rang throughout the stadium. Red smoke filled the sky above the stadium.
Then: "The one entering now is - Team Manchester United!"
Manchester United fans sang equally loudly and held banners high.
Martin: "Good evening, audience friends, welcome to watch the first round of the 2011-12 season UEFA Champions League 1/4 finals AC Milan vs. For the Manchester United game, I am the commentator Martin, and the person commentating the game with me is our old friend Manchester United, the former captain Gary·Neville."

Corner kick.
Seedorf took a corner kick, Thiago·Silva grabbed the first point and headed the goal!
deviation.
Milan fans sighed, but then applauded.
He Wei: "Oh, it's a pity that the ball missed the ball just a little bit. Silva's header needs more practice."
Zhang Lu: "Hey, not everyone has the header ability of Zhang Kuang. Currently, only Cristiano Ronaldo's header skills in the world are close to Zhang Kuang. Cristiano Ronaldo also has strong jumping ability, header skills, and is very powerful and accurate."
He Wei: "Yes, Cristiano Ronaldo is the person who loves Zhang Kuang the most in football. Except that his scoring efficiency is slightly worse, his headers, long shots, and point grabbing are all the same as Zhang Kuang."
Zhang Lu: "In addition to the efficiency of transformation, his physical confrontation ability and basic physical fitness are still somewhat different..."
He Wei: "Back to the game, Manchester United's defense was still a little bit out of position in the ball just now. Evra was a little out of position. If he had been more decisive just now, there would be no corner kick for Milan..."
