I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils - Chapter 421
At 17:10 on May 19th, British local time, the FA Cup final is about to start at the New Wembley Stadium.
Ye Su and Chelsea coach Conte gave a courteous handshake and exchanged greetings before returning to Manchester United’s coaching bench.
At this time, the names of the players on both sides are being broadcast on the radio, and every name is pronounced, which will win huge cheers from the stands.
The narrator is also introducing the starting lists of both parties.
Chelsea lineup (352):
Goalkeeper No. 13 Courtois; defense: No. 2 Rudiger, No. 24 Cahill, No. 28 Azpilicueta;
Midfielder: No. 3 Marcos Alonso, No. 14 Bakayoko, No. 7 Matic, No. 4 Fabregas, No. 15 Moses;
Forwards: No. 10 Azar, No. 18 Giroud;
“This FA Cup final is the second consecutive year that Hazard has participated in the FA Cup final. Last year, Chelsea lost to Arsenal and Hazard missed his first FA Cup. If he can win the FA Cup today, The Cup championship is also a huge gain in his career for this young Belgium international.” Lineker said, “There are many rumors about Hazard joining Real Madrid after the end of the season, and there are anger. Chelsea fans even booed Hazard at Stamford Bridge in the last round of the league, but Conte still chose to trust Hazard today.”
………
Ye Su has been staring at Chelsea’s starting players and saw that Conte did not choose Lukaku to start, but when he finally chose Giroud to start, a smile appeared on his calm face.
The camera just gave a close-up of the coaching bench, and Ye Su’s smile appeared in front of all the TV audiences.
“Coach Ye Su is smiling, it looks like he is really confident in this game.” Lineker said.
The shot was then shown to Chelsea’s coach Conte. The Italian was in a neat suit and his expression was quite serious.
“It seems that Mr. Conte is not as relaxed as his opponent.” Lineker said. “The FA Cup winner is probably the Italian’s last chance. If Chelsea can’t win the FA Cup, Kong Tidy will have no results at Stamford Bridge.”
Conte, who didn’t know that he had been caught by the camera, was a little nervous. He took a deep breath and decided to win or lose in one fell swoop. Even though he was unwilling to admit that there was a problem with the team when facing the media, he always thought about him. But he himself also understood that he was now crossing the abyss with one hand holding the rope, and he might fall to pieces as soon as he let go.
………
Players from both sides stand in their respective positions, waiting for the kick-off. The noisy New Wembley Stadium was also quiet at this moment, and everyone was waiting for the opening whistle to sound.
The referee on duty, Mike Oliver, looked at the players on both sides, then at the time, and then at the fourth official on the sidelines, and then he blew a clear whistle.
Chelsea kicked off first. After Giroud passed the ball to Hazard, he ran forward.
At the same time, Harry Kane, who was waiting in the middle circle, rushed directly towards Hazard who was holding the ball.
Hazard did not give Harry Kane a chance to steal the ball, he passed the football to Fabregas behind him, and he passed Harry Kane.
Harry Kane passed Silva directly and continued to pounce on Fabregas.
Fabregas passed the football to Matic.
At this moment, on the left side of Chelsea, Moses was cutting forward at high speed. Matic pulled the ball horizontally, avoided the rushing Rooney, and then directly passed the ball with a long foot. The football crossed the crowd and flew straight to the right. Moses stopped the ball beautifully, and then immediately accelerated with the ball, and was knocked to the ground by Valencia, who was rushed to defend.
beep!
The referee Oliver’s whistle sounded, signaling a foul by Valencia and Chelsea won a free kick on the left.
………
Chelsea’s free kick, Hazard stood at the penalty spot, ready to take the free kick.
In addition to Mata, the Manchester United team remained in the frontcourt and almost all retreated and defended the free kick.
Kanter is staring at Hazard, but his mind is thinking about the conversation the coach had with him before the game.
“Today’s game, your task is very heavy. I hope you can show your best performance and fighting spirit.” Ye Su patted Kanter on the shoulder and said earnestly, “The team needs your wonderful performance!”
Now, Kanter still feels passionate about what the coach said. This is the trust of the coach in him!
What the coach means is that while letting him defend well, he must also strive to contribute to the team on the offensive end, and even to score goals, which makes him deeply responsible.
Kanter first glanced at the object he was defending, then his gaze crossed the center circle and looked straight at the Chelsea goal.
Chelsea’s free kick attack opportunity is also heavily pressed. There are only two defenders in the backcourt. In addition, their goalkeeper Courtois also looks a little relaxed, some are far away from the goal, and they are standing near the penalty zone line.
At this moment, Ye Su was also serious on the coaching bench on the sidelines.
The biggest pressure on the team in this game is the defense of the midfield, or to put it more bluntly, Kanter’s defensive task today is very heavy.
As a traverser, Ye Su is too aware of the ability of Hazard in the opposing team. The Belgian midfielder is definitely the player who is best at breaking through in the Premier League. Among the Premier League’s defensive players, there is no one who can defend Hazard one-on-one. Although Kanter’s defensive ability is very strong, it is really difficult to say that he is guaranteed to defend Hazard.
That’s why he specifically found Kanter before the game to cheer for the lover, and it seems that the effect is good.
………
Fabregas flew a free kick to the penalty area, Maguire took off, grabbed the football before Giroud.
Afterwards, Luke Shaw faced the goal and came with a barb to clear the siege. However, the football was not kicked far. Marcos Alonso ran over to get the ball. He attracted Kanter’s attention and made a move to the bottom. It was Hazard who passed the football to him.
Kanter immediately rushed to Hazard, and at the same time, De Bruyne went to fill his position to guard against Moses.
Kanter exerted some pressure on Hazard from the side. He moved quickly. Hazard, who had just received the football, didn’t expect Kanter to grab so fast. He staggered and lost the ball!
In this confrontation, Kanter won a round!
“Nice steal!”
Cheers and applause dedicated to Manchester United fans sounded from the stands.
Manchester United fans like Kanter very much. This player is very simple, and his attitude to the game is very hard to say. Everyone knows that Kanter is the most direct line player who listens to Ye Su’s words, and he is his own.
In addition, there is also that Kanter has made great progress after joining Manchester United. He was originally just a little-known and inexperienced player. In his twenties, he was still squandering the bench in the French League.
But look now, the diligent Kanter is the main midfielder of the Premier League hegemony team, he is the most indispensable moment of Manchester United’s midfielder, the importance can even be comparable to the team captain Rooney.
How can the fans not like such a late blooming motivational player?
………
After Kanter stole the ball, he looked ahead and looked at Chelsea’s goal. He had an urge to hang the goal.
“N’Goro, here!” De Bruyne shouted.
Kanter, who was just about to move, passed the football immediately without any hesitation. He knew what his best job was.
De Bruyne received the ball and knocked the football forward. Fabregas came to intercept it. At this moment, De Bruyne passed the ball and the ball flew directly to Vardy!
Fabregas pounced on Vardy again.
Vardy stretched his foot and knocked the football volley to De Bruyne, who came to meet him, and Fabregas pounced on De Bruyne.
De Bruyne passed the football diagonally, Mata took the ball, and Fabregas pounced on Mata.
Fabregas is very hot now, he feels like a monkey, being tricked by Manchester United.
And what makes him most irritating is that other teammates don’t come to help press, even Matic’s midfielder is in forward, seemingly waiting for him to start a second attack after stealing the ball?
At this moment, Matic’s name is Ma Xiangqian!
What a special thing! He really became a defensive engineer for Chelsea!
………
Mata takes the ball forward.
Finally, other Chelsea players came to intercept, and Cahill came up to defend Mata.
Mata knocked the football to Rooney, and Azpilicueta came up to defend. With Rooney’s back facing the goal, he passed the football from between Azpilicueta’s legs to Vardy, who moved closer to the center.
Matic finally stopped watching the show, he rushed to defend Vardy.
Vardy crossed the football to De Bruyne.
Fabregas paused, and finally eased, and then rushed to De Bruyne.
De Bruyne stabbed the ball with a light toe and passed the football to Rooney who had retraced.
At this point, Manchester United has advanced to an area more than 30 meters away from Chelsea’s goal.
For a time, the Manchester United players passed the ball continuously from outside the Chelsea penalty area, and the Chelsea players could not even touch the ball. This is a shame for Chelsea.
Chelsea fans in the stands made a huge boo. The fans of Manchester United are very excited. The state of the Manchester United team is very good today, and what makes them feel most strongly is that the players are very confident.
Chelsea’s goalkeeper Courtois watched the Manchester United’s fall back and forth outside the penalty area. He was very nervous, staring at it with wide-eyed eyes, just watching the football pass from here to there, passing from there, he watched. Some of my eyes are dizzy.
“Press out! Advance the defense line and press out!” Courtois shouted, “Steal the ball!”
The goalkeeper’s instinct tells him that it’s really dangerous to let the opponent keep backing the ball like this, because you can’t predict when the opponent suddenly initiates an offensive or how to start an attack. Is it a pass or a pass? Slash the ball? Or is it suddenly accelerated? Or is it a sudden long shot?
This puts a lot of pressure on the goalkeeper.
Who can steal the ball, and then kick the **** football out of the danger zone.
………
Kanter dragged behind Manchester United’s attack group, he was responsible for the most important line of defense before the team’s back line. At this moment, Kanter watched the smooth passing of his teammates, and he was itching, and he wanted to get involved.
However, he knows that his technique, passing creativity and vision are incomparable to Rooney and Mata, and he has a clear understanding of himself.
He has always been vigilant, because once Manchester United makes a mistake in passing or is intercepted, Chelsea will take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and what Kanter has to do is to organize the defense in the first place and provide a defensive barrier for the back defense.
What’s tickling in his heart is that he is dizzy from behind. What he thinks at this time is that he went up and kicked, and then scored a goal. Everything was quiet and perfect.
Of course, it’s just an imagination. Just like he was very eager to come to a hanging door from a super long distance, he just thought about it.
At this time, Kanter felt ashamed of his lack of ability. He knew that the coach expected a lot of him and expected him to become a player with both offensive and defensive capabilities, but he was doing defensively well, and he was really not good at offensive end.
………
At this moment, Valencia assisted, Mata made a gesture to pass the ball to Valencia, but suddenly passed the football into the penalty area.
Harry Kane carried the Chelsea veteran Cahill, faced the falling football, and completed a difficult half-turn volley. Courtois, who had been alert for a long time, knelt on his knees and hit the football with an action similar to playing volleyball.
Rooney rushed ahead of Matic and gave the football to Mata, who knocked the football to De Bruyne.
“Kante!” De Bruyne passed the football to Kante behind him. He ran forward and called Kante’s name at the same time, which meant he was going to hit the wall.
Then, De Bruyne, who had just started to speed, saw the football flying over his head.
“Is this a big story?” De Bruyne’s first reaction was this.
wrong!
Seeing that the ball is fast, an arc of UU reading www.uukanshu.com actually flew directly in the direction of the goal. De Bruyne was stunned. Is this a shot?
“Who made you shoot?” De Bruyne murmured uncomfortably. Of course, he just murmured.
Kanter is not good at shooting. This is recognized by the team. This guy shoots, in many cases, it is relative to helping opponents to clear the siege.
Then, De Bruyne’s eyes widened. He saw that the football drew a beautiful arc in the air, perfectly bypassing the offensive and defensive players in the penalty area, and finally bypassing Chelsea goalkeeper Kurt. Tuva’s hands, almost close to the inside of the post, smashed into the net fiercely.
This is… the goal was scored? ! !
The huge new Wembley Stadium was quiet at this moment, and then there was a sudden explosion of huge cheers and noise.
“GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!” Kanter stood in place amidst the crazy Goal roar. He was dumbfounded, as if he was also shocked by such a shocking long shot.
