When referee Atkinson blew the whistle for the end of the game, Wembley Stadium erupted into a tsunami of cheers from Manchester City fans.
All the Manchester City players in the stadium also cheered and celebrated.
Two to zero!
Su Dong's two goals in the first half allowed Manchester City to maintain their lead until the end of the game.
Although in the second half of the game, Ferguson took the lead in making substitutions and adjusting the team's tactics to stabilize Manchester United's defense, he ultimately failed to pose a threat on the offensive end, while Manchester City methodically controlled the ball.
The ball possession rate was as high as 71%, which made everyone feel that Manchester City was becoming more and more terrifying, their passing and controlling system was becoming more and more sophisticated, and the cooperation between the players was becoming more and more tacit.
After the whistle sounded, Su Dong excitedly high-fived and hugged his teammates around him, celebrating that the team had once again won a heavyweight championship and achieved the first double championship in the club's history.
In the words of the British media, winning the Premier League and FA Cup at the same time is already the pinnacle moment in Manchester City's history.
All the Manchester City fans in the audience seemed extremely excited.
The staff on the sidelines also poured into the stadium, and the stadium's big screen also gave a close-up of the club management and the famous players in the Manchester City stands. They all stood up and cheered and applauded the team. The former meritorious captain
Tony Booker even shed tears and was very excited.
In the jubilant atmosphere, Su Dong was the calmest.
For him, the FA Cup is actually a domestic cup competition. He would definitely be happy to win it, but it would not be a big deal.
On the contrary, Su Dong is looking forward to the next Europa League even more.
Now that he has won both the Premier League and the FA Cup, he also wants to win the Europa League, just to round up the numbers.
Triple Crown Champion, how nice it sounds when you say this title!
…
After hugging and celebrating with his teammates one by one, Su Dong also took the initiative to walk over, shake hands and even hug the Manchester United players.
During the game, they were opponents. Both sides were going back and forth, and no one would hold back, and sometimes they might even make the other party fall off their feet. But after the game, everyone remained polite and graceful.
To put it bluntly, they all rely on professional football.
There are even times when no one can tell for sure. Maybe we are opponents today and teammates tomorrow.
Of course, Guardiola probably doesn't like the players in the Manchester United team now. The two teams are taking different routes.
Manchester City now adopts a refined passing and possession style, while Ferguson adopts a more British style.
Just like Rooney and Park Ji-sung, players like this will basically have no place in Manchester City, but they are very successful at Manchester United.
This has nothing to do with the advantages and disadvantages, it is purely a matter of different technical characteristics.
After Su Dong shook hands with the Manchester United players, he finally walked towards goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar.
"Edwin." Su Dong raised his hand from a distance.
Van der Sar took off his gloves, gave Su Dong a hard high-five, and then the two hugged.
"I wish you good luck in the Champions League final! Be careful Messi! This little brother of mine is very powerful!" Su Dong reminded.
Van der Sar smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, we are prepared, he can't be better than you, right?"
Su Dong chuckled, quite satisfied with this flattery.
Everyone likes good words, but the key lies in who says it.
Van der Sar is the world's top goalkeeper. When he said such words, Su Dong was naturally offended.
"What are your plans after playing in the Champions League final?" Su Dong asked with concern.
Van der Sar is retiring.
This was something he himself announced to the outside world in January. In fact, as early as last summer, rumors had spread to the outside world. It is said that Van der Sar told Ferguson early to let Manchester United look for high-quality young goalkeepers in the transfer market.
, ready to replace Van der Sar at any time.
But this season, Ferguson has not introduced a suitable goalkeeper.
There is news that Manchester United will spend heavily to introduce De Gea this summer and use the Spanish goalkeeper to fill Edwin van der Sar's vacancy.
De Gea was also one of the targets of Manchester City's goalkeeper recruitment, but Guardiola does not like this type of goalkeeper. He likes a goalkeeper with a large range of control, excellent footwork, and who can integrate into the team's passing and ball control system.
.
The most ideal candidate is Neuer from Bayern Munich, but unfortunately, it is basically impossible for Neuer to leave Bayern.
This cannot be bought with money.
Van der Sar decided to retire, and he did not worry about Manchester United's signings. He said that the Netherlands and Ajax would prepare a series of farewell games for him in August, including the 1995 Arsenal team led by Louis van Gaal.
Jax, against the Dutch national team led by Hiddink in 1998.
The most eye-catching farewell match was Ajax's match against the World Stars.
The World Star Team is basically invited by Van der Sar, who are teammates from the teams he has played for, such as players from Manchester United, and some world-class stars.
"Can you spare some time then?" Van der Sar invited.
Who doesn’t want his farewell game to be glorious?
Van der Sar is naturally no exception.
If Su Dong can come, it will undoubtedly make his farewell game more eye-catching and give him a dazzling exit.
"It should be okay. As long as it's not before the league starts, I'll be fine." Su Dong readily agreed.
In fact, this kind of competition is not very intense, it is more like playing, and the air tickets, food and accommodation are all included, which is equivalent to standing up for Van der Sar in the past.
Su Dong still has great respect for this Dutch goalkeeper.
"When the time comes, I plan to invite Cristiano. I believe the fans haven't seen you playing alongside him for a long time. And I plan to invite Sir Alex Ferguson as the head coach. This will definitely be an exciting game."
Van der Sar smiled.
Su Dong also smiled and nodded, he definitely had no objection.
…………
…………
After Su Dong chatted with Van der Sar for a while, he walked back to the queue of Manchester City players to celebrate the second championship trophy of the season with his teammates. At this time, somewhere in the stands of Wembley Stadium, the head coach of Porto
Villas-Boas and his right-hand man Victor Pereira also ended their spying on Manchester City.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! "The biggest problem in this game is that Ferguson did not complete the restriction on Su Dong. His opening tactics were a bit risky, but after the setback, he was a bit too conservative. But if he insists, To be conservative, he chose Hernandez instead of Fletcher." Villas-Boas was obviously puzzled by Ferguson's use of troops in this game.
Really confused!
"If you look at the historical origins of the two clubs and the results of this season's battle, it is not difficult to guess the entanglement in Ferguson's heart at this moment, and he probably also knows in his heart that it is too difficult to freeze Su Dong. It’s difficult, so we simply don’t make special arrangements.” Victor Pereira analyzed.
He is nine years older than Villas-Boas and is no stranger to Su Dong who made his debut in the Portuguese Super League.
Back then, when Sudon, Ronnie and Quaresma formed Sporting Lisbon's trident and swept the Portuguese Super League, Victor Pereira had just become a coach and was still in the internship stage, but he was very familiar with them.
Who would have thought that the teenagers who played in the Portuguese Super League would now become legendary superstars in world football.
"The result of not making targeted arrangements is that Manchester United's defense was completely out of order by Su Dong. This was the reason why they conceded two goals in the first half. So for Su Dong, it is no longer about whether to make targeted arrangements, but whether to make targeted arrangements. It’s a matter of how much arrangements should be made and how much effort should be made.”
Obviously, tonight's game greatly stimulated Villas-Boas, especially Su Dong's active performance in the first half.
Victor Pereira pursed his lips, wanting to say that even if he arranged for targeted defense, would he be able to defend Sudong?
this is a problem!
Ferguson is not stupid at all. The reason why he did not arrange it was because he felt that such an arrangement would have no effect.
Of course, if Villas-Boas decides to assign someone to guard Su Dong, Victor Pereira will also support him.
Football matches still depend on on-the-spot performance. Whether or not you can succeed is not something you say by words, but is proven by match practice.
No matter how rubbish the tactic is, as long as it can win, it is a good tactic.
And no matter how ingenious your design is, if you can't win, you're still a loser and will still be criticized as useless.
Just like Guardiola's tactics, he was scolded so much last season that even Guardiola became the head coach who should be fired in the Premier League. But this season, he suddenly changed and immediately became a leader with advanced tactical concepts. Typical representative.
Why?
Guardiola is still Guardiola, and Manchester City's passing and possession style of play is still the same. The difference is that after Su Dong joined, Manchester City's offense became sharper and goals were guaranteed, so the results improved.
If your grades are good, you will naturally be praised.
Professional football is so realistic!
Just like Victor Pereira and Villas-Boas.
In terms of age, Pereira is nine years older than Boas, but in terms of resume, Pereira is far inferior to Boas.
Villas-Boas is known as a genius coach. He became famous at a young age and followed two world-class coaches, Robson and Mourinho. He has already proven his strength and level, so after he returned to the Portuguese Super League, it was logical that he became Head coach of the wealthy club Porto.
What about Pereira?
There were no bright spots in his career. After retiring, he has been struggling in low-level teams. Before joining Porto in 2009 and becoming Villas-Boas's assistant coach, he coached at Santa Clara in the Portuguese second division and achieved good results.
But when he received the invitation from Porto, he rushed to Porto without hesitation, even if he was just an assistant coach.
I have ideas in my mind, but I still have to give the opinions that need to be given.
"Manchester City's ability to control the ball is very strong. It is difficult for us to win the ball against them. Moreover, they have a group of outstanding stars, especially Su Dong. He is the best player I have ever seen. I will estimate it in the future.
It’s rare to see such an outstanding player again, and we must pay enough attention.”
Victor Pereira gives his own analysis.
"I think Manchester United failed in two ways tonight. One is that they did not start a hand-to-hand battle with Manchester City in the midfield. They started too riskyly and then were too conservative, worried about gains and losses, and wasted the opportunity. The second point is that Su Dong can hardly be restrained."
"As long as we can do a good job in these two aspects, I believe we will have a chance in the Europa League finals!"
Villas-Boas still recognized the assistant coach's ability very much. After listening, he nodded and said with great enthusiasm.
"Don't worry, if Manchester United can't do it tonight, we Porto can do it! If Ferguson can't do it, I can do it!"
