RAMS Park's away dressing room ran through its final preparations with United already deep into the routine — boots tightened, a couple of players checking wet-weather studs against the pitch report, the last of the activation work winding down.
Bruno spent a minute with the referee's assistants near the door, nothing more than the usual captain's courtesies, before Ten Hag pulled the group in for his final word.

"Galatasaray need this emotional," Ten Hag said. "Their crowd will react to every tackle, every decision, every loose ball that goes their way. We need it controlled. That doesn't mean slow — it means you decide when it speeds up and when they have to chase it instead."
He looked at Demien last. "That's your job tonight more than anyone's."
