v2 Chapter 144: Game start

On April 6, Vera Park Stadium ushered in a remarkable FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United against Arsenal. Since I learned to search: () Mommy don't have to worry about I can't see the latest chapter!

The semi-final time was the day before the match between Derbyshire and Millwall. Both games were played at Villa Park Stadium, but by comparison, it is clear that the match between Manchester United and Arsenal will receive great attention. One team is the overlord of England, and the other Arsenal is Manchester United ’s only competitor in the past ten years. Arsenal ’s strength has continued from last season to the present, and they still remain undefeated in the league.

Before the game, the media conducted crazy reports on the two teams. They analyzed a lot of data.

Arsenal's advantage is the number of times they have entered the FA Cup. They are the first team to qualify for the FA Cup semifinals 24 times. Manchester United and Everton are close behind, both of which are 23 times. They are also in nearly seven seasons. The sixth and fourth consecutive FA Cup semifinal.

Manchester United's most recent advancement to the semi-finals was in 1999, when they eliminated Arsenal in the rematch.

However, Manchester United's historical results are superior, they have won in the last 10 FA Cup semi-finals, six of which are rematches. Manchester United have played 10 times with Arsenal in the FA Cup, with a record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. Two of the semi-final encounters were in 1983 and 1999. The winners were both Manchester United. Manchester United played a total of 9 FA Cup semi-finals at Villa Park Stadium and never lost.

In the vigorous media coverage, this game was disappointing ⌒ □.

Relying on Scholes' goal, Manchester United finally defeated Arsenal 1-0 to enter the final and prevented Arsenal from entering the FA Cup final for the fourth time in a row.

Arsenal's triple crown dream this season also declared broken.

The result seems to be very enthusiastic, but in fact, from the fact that Wenger put Henry and Reyes on the bench before the game, it can be seen that he does not pay much attention to the game because they only lead Chelsea by 7 points in the league, Still wanting to break through the fate of never reaching the top 4 of the Champions League, under such circumstances, the French chose to give up the FA Cup.

Before this game. Wenger slammed the schedule of the English football, and every three days Arsenal is facing a strong enemy is just crazy.

For Ferguson, the FA Cup winner is the last piece of shame.

Due to Fanny's absence due to a knee injury, Ferguson asked Solskjaer to replace him, C Ronaldo replaced Jemba who played Arsenal last Sunday, and Scholes and Keane teamed up front and back.

After Carroll repeatedly rejected the shots of Bergkamp and teenager Aliardere and others, in the 32nd minute, Giggs used Arsenal's negligence of the back line and the right side of the penalty area was promptly passed back to the follower. Coles, who scored the only goal of the audience.

This is the most reproachful period of Ferguson's reign. The Manchester United soldiers supported the Grand Lord with a firm victory.

Failure is bad news for Arsenal. Even worse, Arsenal ’s two generals, Yongberg and Reyes, are injured and will definitely miss the second leg of the Champions League next week with Chelsea.

Yong Berry suffered a hand injury during the game. The initial result of the post-match inspection was a fractured hand bone. He will be absent for at least 4 weeks. Reyes was tackled by Scholes in the back of the game, and his left leg knee was seriously injured. He may also be missing for three weeks.

After the FA Cup eliminated Arsenal, Manchester United coach Ferguson praised the players' efforts.

Ferguson thinks. Such a victory is very important for the team, it keeps the team's hope of winning a championship this season.

"Fanny's absence is a blow for us, but Solskjaer did the job brilliantly." Ferguson also admitted that Arsenal did create a lot of opportunities, and Edu's shot hit the beam. Then Carol saved Turé's supplementary shot, which became the turning point of the game. "This save gave us the luck we needed. Carol performed very well."

Another highlight of Manchester United in this game is C Ronaldo. Ferguson said when evaluating Ronaldo. "He always poses a threat when he fights back. He is really our trump card."

Arsenal coach Wenger said, "We shouldn't have lost", "I'm very disappointed. We shouldn't have lost this game. We have a lot of opportunities, especially in the second half, we have always had an advantage. Overall we Not very lucky, but Manchester United is strong and their defense has reached the highest level. After Scholes scored, they have kept this lead tenaciously. "

As Henry was replaced in the second half, Wenger explained: "Henry had just played in the French team and was tired after returning. We have 4 games in 8 days. He is very good, but after all he is an ordinary person, our focus It ’s the Champions League and the Premier League. "

But whether the two coaches are happy or sad, for others, only one game result is needed.

This is the case for Derbyshire and Millwall, who understand that Manchester United will be the opponent of the FA Cup final, and then have to face the competition and the Manchester United mobile phone game.

The next day is coming soon.

Both Derbyshire and Millwall have come to Birmingham, and the game between them will also be played at the Villa Park Stadium, which is the home of the Premier League team Aston Villa and is designated the FA Cup by the FA. The stadium held in the semi-finals, as Aston Villa was out early in the FA Cup, naturally there is no question of home and away.

With the arrival of the two teams, the media to interview the game also flocked.

This game is much less concerned than yesterday, but after all, it is the FA Cup semi-final, and there are still a lot of media reporters. The number of fans who came to Birmingham with the team is also very large. The two teams were respectively divided into 8,000 fans, but this still did not meet the requirements of the fans. Many fans crowded on the small square of the Vera Park stadium and watched the game from the large screen of the square at close range.

In this atmosphere, the game is about to start.

A few days before the game, Derbyshire seemed very low-key. Instead, Millwall continued to emphasize the words of fighting spirit and victory. Their head coach Wise stood up and their players stood up, so the media reported It ’s all about Millwall, and Derbyshire has little news about the FA Cup.

The media feels incredible. When did the Chinese become so low-key?

So they all squeezed into the press conference and planned to make a final interview before the game to see what the Chinese specifically said.

The press conference was a bit overcrowded.

Wan Sheng didn't know the media's ideas. In fact, he has kept the team in closed training for a few days without touching the outside media. In fact, it has nothing to do with low-key, there is no way. The team has just finished upgrading in advance, the outside media are all reporting, and each player is also affected. Wan Sheng is worried that this will affect their status, so he has only done closed training for a few days. Let everyone get back the feeling of training and competition on weekdays.

This works well.

Many players were a little bit restless before, they were influenced by the media and fans' comments, visiting various interviews, TV stations and so on. Those have affected their spirits, so it is difficult for them to re-enter training.

Such a state is definitely not feasible.

After a few days of adjustment, the team returned to its previous state, and Wan Sheng was relieved, and only then had the mood to deal with the media reporter. When he walked into the press conference, there were a lot of media 'good intentions' to tell What Millwall said before the game.

Hearing that the other party kept talking about victory, fighting spirit and even miracles, Wan Sheng just smiled and said. "They have fighting spirit? Do they want to create miracles? It's really interesting."

"I just want to say that in the face of the absolute strength gap, the spark of miracle is destined to be annihilated. As for fighting spirit? Do you think we have no fighting spirit?"

Many people laughed.

The thing about fighting spirit is really hard to say, Millwall publicly showed fighting spirit. But who can make clear the specific fighting spirit? This game is very important for both teams. Both sides will work hard to win, then fighting spirit. There are both sides.

On the contrary, Wan Sheng's previous sentence became the focus of attention. Wan Sheng said very ‘text’. Translated is in front of the absolute strength gap. There is no miracle. What it means is very clear is that Millwall did not have the ability to create miracles in front of Derbyshire. The media reporters recalled that the power of this sentence was really much more than Millwall said. Also works.

Sure enough, it was Wansheng!

If the Chinese did not speak, it would be amazing!

After Wan Sheng left the press conference, Millwall coach Wise also came to the stage, and the media reporters kindly relayed what Wan Sheng said to Wise. Wise's face turned black and lifted. With a fist, "Whether we have strength or not, let's watch it on the game!"

In this way, the atmosphere of the two teams fell into tension

In the locker room in Derbyshire, Wan Sheng was giving his final instructions to the players. He didn't say any tactical issues, he just started, "Before playing, I want to tell you, forget the previous advancement, forget the league, Forget what we have achieved! Now we are facing a game that must be won! "

"As long as we win this game, we will be able to appear in the European arena next year! Tell me, do you want to participate in European events !? Do you want to play against strong teams from other national leagues !?"

Everyone didn't answer, but expectation flashed in their eyes.

Wan Sheng looked at everyone's expression ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ nodded with satisfaction, "Now, go to the game, I hope to see you fully show your status and strength, kill all the suspense of the game, we have to get it cleanly victory!"

Everyone listened to the door of the dressing room and lined up and walked into the player aisle.

The game is ready to go.

The fans in the auditorium have started to shout. The fans of the two teams sing team songs to support their favorite teams. There are also many neutral fans who came to the scene. They all came to appreciate the FA Cup semi-finals. They did not. Participate in the fiery shouts, this is quietly waiting for the game to start.

These neutral fans, most people have not yet thought about which team to support. For them, of course, which team is performing well, they must support which team.

They can't wait for the game to start.

Finally, the referee signaled that the players of the two teams came on the field. After taking a photo before the game, guessing the coins, and arranging the array, watching the time, the referee whistled to announce the official start of the game.
