Chapter 108 Life-saving Straw (10 of 6)

"Hello, fans and friends!
"This is Sky and we are showing the FA Cup Final live from Wembley Stadium!

"Players from both sides have already entered the field, and the match is about to begin!
"We introduce the starters of both sides for this game again!

"United are still in a 4-2-3-1 formation:

"Goalkeeper De Gea,

"The back four Ashley Young, Vidic, Ferdinand, Valencia,
"The double midfielders are Fletcher and Carrick,

"The three attacking midfielders are Shinji Kagawa, Mata and Nani,

"Lone striker Rooney.

"On the bench were Fellaini, Smalling, Hernandez, Welbeck, Van Persie and others.

"Manchester United had two small situations in this game,
"One was Van Persie was still injured, but Ryan Giggs took him anyway.

"If the team is really in trouble, it is possible to force him out.

"An interesting thing is that Giggs put himself on the bench.

"Maybe we'll see the spectacle of manager Ryan Giggs bringing in substitute Ryan Giggs for a while.

"In any case, Manchester United are well prepared for this game.

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

"They are seventh in the league this season and they are nowhere near Europe.

"Unless we win the FA Cup, we will finally qualify for the Europa League.

"This game has become their last resort.

"Today's Manchester United will definitely give it their all.

"But Leicester City are not easy to mess with.

"Manchester City, the city's rivals who beat Manchester United this season, also fell at the feet of Leicester City.

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

"And Leicester City is full of momentum, the whole team is in a positive state,
"They won the championship early, there was no pressure, they were in good physical and mental condition,
“It’s hard to say who will win this match.

"Today Leicester City's starting formation is still 4-4-2,

"But there have been some changes in their starting players,
"Goalkeeper Schmeichel,
"The four defenders from left to right De Laet, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Vasilewski,
"The four midfielders from left to right Xia, Drinkwater, Hammond, Schlupp,

"The double striker is Vardy and Riyad Mahrez.

"Pearson replaced high center Chris Wood for this game,
"Let Mahrez play first, with Vardy.

"Both attackers are known for their speed,
"It seems that Leicester City is still playing defensively and counterattacking today.

"The players on both sides are already in their positions.
"The referee whistles!

"The game is on!"

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

Shinji Kagawa knocked back again and handed it to Carrick.

Mahrez put the shovel directly in front of him!

If you steal the ball here, you have a chance!
But Carrick didn't make a mistake. He calmly pulled the ball across and passed his opponent.

This time the defense not only dodged Mahrez, but also out of space.

Immediately afterwards, a long pass!
The ball went straight to the penalty area of ​​Leicester City!

Rooney squeezes Konchesky and catches the ball!

Kick and shoot!

The ball went straight to the corner!

Schmeichel flew into the air and punched out with both fists!
The ball flew out of the bottom line!

With just this blow, thunderous applause from the stands!
At Wembley Stadium, almost all the people who come here to watch the game are English.

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

In addition to Manchester United fans today, most other England fans also cheered for Rooney.

This is the power of national idols!

In the summer of 2006, even Ronaldo, who was in full swing, was booed by England fans and almost left Manchester United because of the red card incident with Wayne Rooney in the World Cup.

Now the game has just started 1 minute, the first shot, Rooney almost scored.

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

"Wayne!"

"Wayne!"

"Wayne!"

Hearing that the Leicester City players were very uncomfortable.

Vardy pouted: "These fans are really partial."

Mahrez said with a smile: "Whenever you become the main striker of the England national team, you can also enjoy this kind of treatment."

Vardy: "There will be such a day!"

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

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

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

With such a lineup, going to the Premier League next season should do something.

However, there will be no Xia next season.

If Xia can stay in the team, Leicester City will even be able to compete for a place in the European Championship next season!
I have this confidence!

But without xia, Leicester City is still almost meaningless...

Looking at the midfielder again, Xia Xing is running with all his strength.

In the first half of the game, Pearson gave Xia Xing the task of defending with all his might!
Just in the locker room, Pearson once again emphasized tactics.

Desperately defending in the first half, looking for opportunities in the second half!
There are two big problems with this United team.

Older and unstable.

In the first half, they consumed their physical energy and mental strength, and in the second half they suddenly launched a quick attack, which was a fatal blow!
Leicester City used this tactic against Arsenal.

Now, still.

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

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

The talented 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 good.

Known as the "Ball Blind Filter", Carrick passed the ball steadily to control the field.

Mata, Nani and Shinji Kagawa in the midfield are exquisite in their skills.

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 number one star in the Premier League.

Such an opponent is too difficult to deal with.

After the first wave of offense, Manchester United's offense was wave after wave.

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

Just after he caught the ball, he hit his heel and passed Mahrez who was rushing up.

Faced with Hammond's pressing, he suddenly accelerated and rushed to the side!
Great speed and great dribbling!
At this time, Xia Xing appeared in front of him!

Nani snorted coldly.

Young man, today I will let you see what is truly extraordinary!
