Chapter 849 Can't Lose the Final!

"Wayne Rooney!!!!!!"

In the mad roar of the commentators! !

After scoring the goal, Rooney was afraid to hit the team logo on his chest! !

He is standing at the corner flag area of ​​the stadium, here is the gathering area for Manchester United fans! ! ! !

Manchester United players are coming! ! !

In Wembley Stadium, the cheers of Manchester United fans resounded throughout the audience! ! !

The audience was chanting Rooney's name!

England's top scorer! !

In the League Cup, he broke the goal of the rivals in the same city and helped the team lead Manchester City 1-0! ! !

If it was in the past, when Manchester City were still Manchester United's noisy neighbors, Manchester United's lead over Manchester City did not seem to be too much to brag about!

But now it's different, Manchester City is no longer Manchester United's noisy neighbors, but Manchester United's toughest rivals! !

In the past two seasons, Manchester United have been completely suppressed by Manchester City! !

Especially this season! !

Manchester United's 26-game winning streak terrified all the opponents in the league.

Although this is only the League Cup, but in the face of Manchester City, who are all main players, to be honest, in this league, there is no opponent who is not weak.

Even Manchester United, in the opening phase, is this not the case.

Fortunately, De Gea's wonderful performance helped Manchester United gain a firm foothold, and at the same time, Manchester United's players also regained their confidence! !

And Rooney's goal completely gave Manchester United players hope of victory! !

How about a 26-game winning streak! ! !

This is the final! !

A decisive final! !

As long as Manchester United win! !

That would be the first to win the first major trophy of the season.

Although, Manchester City has already won three trophies this season.

Community Shield, European Super Cup, Club World Cup!

However, of these three trophies, the first two are actually warm-up matches, and the opponent in the latter one is really not worth mentioning.

The only thing that can compete with European football is South American football, but the poor league organization in South America makes it difficult for their club team to have any strong teams. Most of the players of South American football teams play in the European League.

From a football league point of view, Europe is a well-deserved football center!

Even the football kingdom Brazil, their football league is far from comparable to the top five leagues in Europe.

The strongest clubs tend to be in Europe.

Therefore, the Champions League winner wins the Club World Cup, which is the script most of the time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Manchester City won the Club World Cup.

These three championship trophies are actually not as valuable as the League Cup.

For Manchester United, the League Cup final beat Manchester City and won their first important championship trophy this season!

This is of great significance both for this new Manchester United and for Guardiola who built this team!

So, it's no wonder that the Manchester United players were so excited after the goal, even De Gea, who was standing on the goal line,

He also clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted! !

On the sidelines, so did Guardiola.

He hasn't thought about the trophy yet, after all, the game isn't over yet! !

However, this goal is really significant for the whole game.

Manchester City are strong!

Very strong!

Guardiola admits this.

He admires Gao Bo very much. There is no doubt that Gao Bo has created a super strong team. The strength of this team is not inferior to Guardiola's Barcelona at the peak of that year!

Perhaps, the current Manchester United is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

But the final is only one game! !

If you only think from one game, Manchester United have a chance to win the game without a doubt!

Especially with an advanced goal!

Now the confidence of Manchester United players is completely out!

This goal made the Manchester United players burst with confidence!

Their previous fear of Manchester City has basically disappeared!

And, this is the League Cup final!

Taking the ball in the final is a big blow for the side that lost the ball! !

After all, such an important game is stressful for anyone! !

Pressure has an impact on Manchester United, and Guardiola also believes that Manchester City players are not robots! !

Their mentality will also be affected by this goal! !

Now that Manchester United has the advantage in the score, this is the best opportunity for Manchester United!

If you can grab a championship trophy in the peak of Manchester City!

Such a meaning cannot be overemphasized in any way! !

Behind Guardiola!

Manchester United's coaching staff is also rejoicing! !

Although they were very passive most of the time in the first half, it was Manchester United who scored the first goal! !

In stark contrast to Manchester United's side is the Manchester City coaching bench on the other side.

The members of the coaching team frowned.

To say that Manchester City played poorly in the first half is not entirely true.

In the first half of the game, Manchester City created far more chances, even absolute scoring chances, than Manchester United.

However, it is not Manchester City who have advanced the ball now.

All this is just because the opponent's goalkeeper broke out!

It would be too embarrassing to lose the game and the League Cup championship because of this! !

Gao Bo also felt aggrieved in his heart.

This is normal and happens to everyone.

But Gao Bo is the head coach of the team after all.

Therefore, he knew that no matter how frustrated he was, he could not show frustration, show disappointment.

After all, it is not because of his poor performance now, but the explosion of the opponent's goalkeeper! !

In this case, the most taboo is to mess around by yourself! !

Gao Bo's face was neither sad nor happy.

He gestured with both hands down from the sidelines, then pulled Trippier, who was closest to him, over.

"Tell everyone!! Hold your ground first!! It's just one goal behind!!"

The confidence in Gao Bo's words reassured the players.

For Manchester City, no matter when, the coach on the sidelines is their backbone! !

Soon, the scene began to calm down! !

At the end of the first half, Manchester City launched a flood of attacks! !

It would be great for Manchester City to equalise before the end of the first half.

However, in the end, Manchester City failed to do so! !

As soon as the one-minute stoppage time in the first half passed, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.

At that time, Manchester City was still in possession of the ball in the frontcourt, and even Griezmann was ready to shoot!

However, as soon as the referee blew the whistle, the first half was over.

This makes Manchester City somewhat dissatisfied.

"This should at least allow us to finish this offense!!!"

Assistant coach Moya ran to the referee to protest loudly, but he was shown a yellow card.

And Gao Bo has left the sidelines and returned to the locker room.

For Gao Bo, the 15 minutes of intermission is very crucial! !

This is the key fifteen minutes that are related to whether the team can finally win the League Cup championship trophy!

Forty-five minutes left in the game!

In these 45 minutes, Manchester City will not only equalize, but also try to overtake as much as possible! !

This task is not easy to say, but if it is difficult, it is not too difficult for Manchester City.

at this time!

In every pub in Manchester, every Manchester person following the game can clearly see their color from their expressions.

The red Manchester United man, with excitement on his face, also has a trace of tension.

After all, this is only the end of the first half. There are still forty-five minutes in the game, and it is not the time to fully celebrate.

Forty-five minutes, so much can happen!

The blue Manchester City man had a dignified expression on his face.

Being behind at half-time is not the end of the world, but it's definitely not a good thing either.

This game, for Manchester City, may be very difficult!

This night, the whole of Manchester is paying attention to this game!

The war of red and blue is going on at Wembley.

The audiences on both sides were mostly concentrated in Manchester.

On the TV broadcast, the camera locked the players on both sides.

The narrator's voice came from the TV.

"The first half is over!! Manchester United lead Manchester City 1-0 at Wembley with a goal from captain Rooney!!! They went into the dressing room at half-time with a one-goal lead and the For Manchester City, this League Cup final may be an extremely difficult game for them! This game will even make Manchester City taste the first defeat of the season!!! Because, look at the Manchester United players Determination on your face!!"

Letkinson said.

"If we lose this game, it will undoubtedly be an absolute pity for Manchester City, who have been in such good form recently. They have won dozens of games but lost in the crucial final. For Gao Bo, he will not let This kind of thing happened!"

Redknapp added.

And as far away as China.

In the CCTV screen, Duan Xuan's voice also came out.

"Manchester United took a 1-0 lead over Manchester City in the first half thanks to a Wayne Rooney goal. But if we look at the first half, it's easy to draw a conclusion that the team that performed better in the first half It is Manchester City. Whether it is the number of shots, the number of shots, the number of absolute chances obtained, and even the number of possessions, the number of passes, the number of dribbles, etc., Manchester City has the absolute upper hand!"

"However, it is often the case in football games where the better team doesn't score a goal. With De Gea's superb performance, Manchester United kept their clean sheets in the first half and luckily Yes, they also scored a goal!! If this score continues, Manchester United even have a chance to be the first team to beat Manchester City this season!!!"

"Guardiola may also be looking forward to a career victory over Gao Bo!!"

As Duan Xuan spoke, the camera swept across the stands.

Manchester United fans were cheering.

And Manchester City fans, not to be frustrated.

Manchester City is one goal behind, but they have the absolute upper hand!

This made Manchester City fans look forward to the second half.

At this time, on the Internet, most of the fans' comments on the game also focused on De Gea.

In this game, De Gea's performance in the first half was really outstanding.

A goalkeeper frequently steals the spotlight, and I don't know if it is a good thing for a team.

locker room.

Gao Bo stood in front of the tactical board.

This tactical board was what it looked like before the first half.

Gao Bo did not intend to make any adjustments to the tactics in the second half.

In his opinion, the most important thing in the second half is not tactics.

There is nothing wrong with Manchester City's tactics.

The key to the second half is the mentality of the players.

The excellent performance of the opponent's goalkeeper is a very serious setback to the morale of his own players.

Therefore, for Manchester City, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army and maintain morale! !

"Everyone played well in the first half. I am very satisfied with everyone's performance. If it wasn't for the luck of the opponent, we would have scored at least three goals now!!"

Gao Bo said with three fingers raised.

He didn't say it for nothing.

Like World Wave, Shenpu actually has some elements of luck - of course, it can't be all luck.

But Gao Bo avoided the important, and the players didn't think too much.

After all, many miraculous saves would not have been possible without luck.

Gao Bo said so, the problem is not big.

"We still have forty-five minutes, which is enough for us!!"

"We have won many games, and the opponents in this game, we have also won them many times!!"

"Think about how embarrassed they looked in the first half! They couldn't resist our offensive!!"

"Since their goalkeeper has saved so many goals! Well, let's keep him busy in the second half!! He saves one, and we continue to organize a dangerous attack!!"

"The goal is huge!! It is impossible for the opponent to cover all areas!! Don't think too much in the second half, there is a chance to shoot firmly!!!"

Gao Bo said loudly.

This is his biggest concern, if players are hesitant to shoot at De Gea, it will be even more difficult to score! !

"Decisive! Resolute!! Don't think too much about other things!!"

"If you want to score, you have to shoot!!!"

Gao Bo waved his fists to boost the morale of the players.

at the same time.

in another locker room.

Guardiola was praising the team's performance.

Especially De Gea.

In the dressing room, almost every Manchester United player embraced De Gea.

Without this goalkeeper, Manchester United would have been beaten before the goal in the first half!

"In the first half of the game, David's performance can only be described as incredible!! To be honest, this is the best goalkeeper performance I have ever seen!!"

Guardiola praised.

"However, if you want to win, you can't just rely on the goalkeeper. We need a goal in the second half!!"

"Control the situation on the field. Manchester City, who cannot let their offense fall behind, will definitely press up and attack. We must pay attention to using the space behind them!"

Guardiola said quickly.
