Estadio Alvalade.
Although the fans were listless, those who were supposed to come had all arrived.
After all, it was the team's first game of the new season, and it was a home game.
Even if not to watch the game, they had to come even if it was just to curse at Trigella.
When the stadium announcer read out each player's name as they entered, the fans were indifferent.
Mainly because they didn't recognize them.
Didier Drogba, John Terry, Andrea Barzagli, Jose Fonte...
Jose Fonte: I've been playing for Sporting Lisbon since I was a kid, and you still don't recognize me?
It wasn't until Viana, Quaresma, and Schmeichel came out that the atmosphere in the stadium finally picked up.
Then came Deschamps, and the fans began to applaud continuously, just like they welcomed and greeted Schmeichel when he first joined last season.
With Matthaus's arrival, the atmosphere at the venue reached its peak.
