Chapter 108 Life-saving Straw (10 updates out of 6)

"Hello, fans!

"This is Sky TV, we are broadcasting the FA Cup final live at Wembley Stadium!

"Players from both sides have started to enter the stadium, and the game is about to begin!

"We will introduce the starting players of both teams again!

"Manchester United still has a 4-2-3-1 formation:

"Goalkeeper De Gea,

"Four defenders Ashley Young, Vidic, Ferdinand, Valencia,

"Double defensive midfielders are Fletcher and Carrick,

"Three front midfielders are Shinji Kagawa, Mata and Nani,

"Single striker Rooney.

"On the bench sit Fellaini, Smalling, Hernandez, Welbeck, Van Persie and other players.

"There are two small situations for Manchester United in this game,

"One is that Van Persie is still injured, but Giggs still brought him.

"If the team is really in trouble, it is likely that he will be forced to play.

"Another interesting thing is that Giggs has also put himself on the bench.

"Maybe we will see the spectacle of head coach Giggs sending substitute player Giggs to the field in a while.

"No matter what, Manchester United is fully prepared for this game.

"Because for Manchester United, the FA Cup is their last straw this season.

"They are ranked seventh in the league this season, far from the European war.

"Unless they win the FA Cup, they can finally qualify for the Europa League.

"This game has become their last straw.

"Today's Manchester United will definitely try their best.

"But Leicester City is not easy to mess with.

"Manchester City, the city rivals that defeated Manchester United this season, also fell at the feet of Leicester City.

"In terms of the record and performance against Manchester City in a single season, Leicester City is far superior to Manchester United.

"And Leicester City is in high spirits, and the whole team is in a positive state.

"They won the championship early, there is no pressure, and their physical and mental conditions are also very good.

"It's hard to say who will win or lose in this game.

"Leicester City's starting lineup today is still 4-4-2,

"But there have been some changes in their starting players,

"Goalkeeper Schmeichel,

"The four defenders from left to right are De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, and Wasilewski,

"The four midfielders from left to right are Xia, Drinkwater, Hammond, and Schlupp,

"The two forwards are Vardy and Mahrez.

"Pearson replaced the center forward Chris Wood in this game,

"Let Mahrez play in the front position and partner with Vardy.

"These two attackers are both good at speed,

"It seems that Leicester City is still using a defensive counterattack tactic today.

"The players on both sides have taken their positions,

"The referee whistled!

"The game has begun!"

Manchester United took the lead in kicking off, Rooney and Mata passed the ball to each other, and the ball was given to Shinji Kagawa behind him.

Shinji Kagawa knocked it back again and handed it to Carrick.

Mahrez directly made a frontal tackle!

If the ball is intercepted here, then there will be a chance!

But Carrick did not make a mistake. He calmly pulled the ball horizontally and passed his opponent.

This defense not only avoided Mahrez, but also made room.

Then, a long pass!

The ball went straight to the Leicester City penalty area!

Rooney squeezed Konchesky and received the ball!

He kicked and shot!

The ball went straight to the dead corner!

Schmeichel flew into the air and punched out with both fists!

The ball flew out of the baseline!

Just this shot, the stands applauded!

Almost all the people who came to watch the game at Wembley Stadium were English.

As the offensive core of the England national team, Rooney is the idol of countless fans.

Today, in addition to Manchester United fans, most other English fans also cheered for Rooney.

This is the power of the national idol!

In the summer of 2006, even Cristiano Ronaldo, who was at the peak of his career, was almost booed by English fans because of the red card incident with Rooney in the World Cup. If it weren't for Ferguson's mediation and Rooney's initiative to hug and show goodwill, perhaps Manchester United would not have Ronaldo's Ballon d'Or legend.

Now the game has just started for one minute, and Rooney almost scored with the first shot.

Countless fans in the stands cheered and shouted Rooney's name.

"Wayne!"

"Wayne!"

"Wayne!"

The Leicester City players were very upset.

Vardy pouted: "These fans are really partial."

Mahrez smiled and said: "When you become the main striker of the England national team, you can also enjoy this treatment."

Vardy: "There will definitely be such a day!"

Listening to Vardy's firm words, Mahrez nodded slightly and looked at the midfield again.

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

Leicester City is pretty good, with a late-blooming striker like Vardy, a world-class goalkeeper like Schmeichel, a captain like Morgan, a spiritual leader, Drinkwater, and other players.

With such a lineup, they should be able to make a difference in the Premier League next season.

However, there will be no Xia next season.

If Xia can still stay in the team, Leicester City will even be able to fight for a European Cup spot next season!

I have this confidence!

But without Xia, Leicester City is still a little short of it...

Looking at the midfield again, Xia Xing is running at full speed.

In the first half of this game, Pearson gave Xia Xing the task of defending with all his strength!

Just now in the locker room, Pearson emphasized the tactics again.

Defend desperately in the first half, and look for opportunities in the second half!

This Manchester United has two major problems.

They are older and unstable.

They consume their physical energy and mental strength in the first half, and suddenly launch a fast attack in the second half, which is fatal!

Leicester City used this tactic when playing against Arsenal.

Now, it is still the same.

Facing Manchester United, Leicester City's strength is very weak.

Although they are in excellent form recently, looking at Manchester United's lineup, they are really not comparable.

Genius goalkeeper De Gea is a world-class goalkeeper.

Although Vidic and Ferdinand are old, they are still a top defensive central defender combination with rich experience.

Although the two full-backs Ashley Young and Valencia have ups and downs, their speed, dribbling and passing are very powerful.

Carrick, known as the "ball blind filter", passes the ball steadily and controls the field.

Mata, Nani and Shinji Kagawa in the midfield are very skilled.

And Rooney, let alone.

He is one of the strongest strikers of this era, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the top star in the Premier League.

Such an opponent is too difficult to deal with.

After the first wave of attack, Manchester United's attack was higher and higher.

Nani controlled the ball on the right side, facing Xia Xing's defense.

Just after he received the ball, he knocked his heel and passed Mahrez who rushed up.

Facing Hammond's pressing, he suddenly accelerated and rushed to the side!

Extremely fast, excellent dribbling!

At this time, Xia Xing appeared in front of him!

Nani snorted coldly.

Young man, today I will show you what is real passing!
