Chapter 108 Life-saving straw (6 of 10 updates)
"Hello fellow fans!
"That's Sky over there, they're showing the FA Cup final live at Wembley Stadium!
"Players from both sides have begun to enter the stadium and the game is about to begin!
“They once again introduce the starting players from both sides of this game!
“Manchester United still want to play 4-2-3-1:
"Goalkeeper De Gea,
"The back four of Ashley Young, Vidic, Ferdinand, Valencia,
"The two defensive midfielders are Fletcher and Carrick.
"The three front midfielders include Shinji Kagawa, Mata and Nani.
"Lone striker Rooney.
“The bench includes Fellaini, Smalling, Hernandez, Welbeck, Van Persie and other players.
"Manchester United had two small situations in that game,
"Van Persie is still injured, but Giggs has brought him along.
"If the team is really in trouble, he can probably be forced to play.
"An interesting thing is that Giggs also put himself on the substitute list.
"Maybe they will see the spectacle of coach Ryan Giggs putting substitute Ryan Giggs on the field for a while.
"No matter what, whether Manchester United was fully prepared for that game.
"Because for Manchester United, winning the FA Cup was their first lifeline that season.
"They are seventh in the league this season and are out of reach of the European competition.
"Unless we win the FA Cup, we will initially qualify for the Europa League.
"That game was their first lifeline.
"Manchester United will definitely try their best tomorrow.
"Leicester City is not easy to mess with either.
“Manchester City, the city’s arch-rivals who beat Manchester United this season, also fell to Leicester City.
"If we look at the record and performance of missing Manchester City in a single season, Leicester City far surpasses Manchester United.
"Furthermore, Leicester City is full of momentum and the whole team is in a positive state.
“They won the championship early, there was no pressure, and they were in good physical and mental condition.
“It’s hard to say who won and lost in that game.
"Leicester City's starting lineup tomorrow will still be 4-4-2.
"There have been some changes in their starting players.
"Goalkeeper Schmeichel,
"The four defenders from left to right are Draete, Konchesky, Wes Morgan, Vasileski,
"The four midfielders from left to right, Drinkwater, Hammond, Schlupp,
"The two forwards are Vardy and Mahrez.
"In that game, Pearson replaced East high center Chris Wood.
"Let Mahrez be in a good position and partner with Vardy.
"Those two attacking legs are both good at speed.
"It seems that Leicester City will still use defensive counterattack tactics tomorrow.
"The players from both sides are already in their respective positions.
"The referee's whistle sounds!
"The game begins!"
Manchester United took the lead to kick off, Rooney and Mata passed the ball to each other, and the ball was given to Shinji Kagawa behind him.
Shinji Kagawa knocked back again and handed it to Carrick.
Mahrez shoveled directly from the front!
If you steal the ball there, you have a chance!
But Carrick didn't make a mistake. He calmly pulled the ball horizontally and passed the wrong leg.
That defense not only avoided Mahrez, but also opened up space.
Then, a long pass!
The ball goes straight to the Leicester City penalty area!
Rooney squeezed away Konchesky and received the ball!
Kick up and shoot!
The ball went straight to the blind corner!
Schmeichel flew into the air and punched out with both fists!
The ball flew out of the baseline!
Just that one hit, the stands were thundering with applause!
At Wembley Stadium, almost all the people who come to watch football are from England.
As the offensive core of the England national team, Rooney is the idol of countless fans.
In addition to Manchester United fans, most other English fans will also cheer for Rooney tomorrow.
That denies the power of a national idol!
In the summer of 2006, even if Cristiano Ronaldo was still in his prime, he was booed by English fans and almost left Manchester United because of the red card incident with Rooney in the World Cup. If Ferguson's mediation and Rooney's proactive embrace had not been allowed, maybe he would have left Manchester United.
Manchester United would not have the Ballon d'Or legend of Ronaldinho.
The game had just started for one minute, and Rooney almost scored with the first shot.
Countless fans cheered in the stands, and Rooney's name was displayed.
"Wayne!"
"Wayne!"
"Wayne!"
It sounded very unpleasant to the Leicester City players.
Vardy pouted: "Those fans are really cruel."
Mahrez smiled and said: "Whenever I become the main forward of the England national team, I will also enjoy that kind of treatment."
Vardy: "There will definitely come 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. They have a late-blooming talented striker like Vardy, a world-class goalkeeper like Schmeichel, and a spiritual leader like Morgan. Drinkwater is also very good, and other players.
All good too.
With a lineup like that, they should be able to do a lot in the Premier League this season.
Otherwise, there will be no competition in the Eastern Conference.
If Xia is very likely to stay in the team, Leicester City may even be able to compete for a European spot in the Eastern season!
He has that confidence!
But without Xia, Leicester City would still be almost meaningless...
Looking towards the midfield again, Xia Xing is running at full strength.
At halftime of that game, Pearson's task for Xia Xing was to defend with all his strength!
Just in the locker room, Pearson once again emphasized tactics.
Defend desperately in the half and look for opportunities in the east half!
There were two big problems with that Manchester United team.
He is older and his condition is unstable.
After consuming their physical strength and mental strength in the half, they suddenly launched a fast attack in the east half, which was a fatal blow!
Leicester City used that tactic when they missed Arsenal.
Now, still.
Facing Manchester United, Leicester City's weakness is very obvious.
Although they are in excellent form recently, if you look at Manchester United's lineup, they are really not comparable.
The talented goalkeeper De Gea is a world-class goalkeeper.
Although Vidic and Ferdinand are old, they are still a top-level central defender combination and have rich experience.
Although the two full-backs Ashley Young and Valencia are in ups and downs, they are very good at speed, dribbling and passing.
Known as the "ball-blind filter", Carrick provides stable passing and control of the field.
Mata, Nani and Shinji Kagawa in the midfield and frontcourt have exquisite skills.
And Rooney, let alone that.
It is not an exaggeration to say whether he can be one of the strongest strikers of his era and the number one star in the Eastern Premier League.
It's so difficult to pay for a wrong leg like that.
After the first wave of attacks, Manchester United's attacks became higher and higher.
Nani controlled the ball on the right and faced Xia Xing's defense.
Just after he caught the ball, he knocked his heel and passed the rushing Mahrez.
Facing Hammond's pressing, he suddenly accelerated towards the wing!
Extremely fast and excellent dribbling!
At this time, Xia Xing appeared in front of him!
Nani snorted coldly.
Young man, let me see tomorrow what it means to be truly outstanding!
