Chapter 199: The Second Crown

Juan Mata picked up the ball on the flank, cut inside and fired a shot past a defender before bounced back at his feet.

Just as Juan Mata was about to make another move, referee Clattenburg blew the whistle for the first half.

Even Mata was a little helpless at this time, and he still shot with a kick to vent his dissatisfaction.

In his opinion, the referee should at least wait for him to finish this shot before blowing the whistle.

But Clattenberg apparently didn't give face at all.

Even at the end of the first half, Mata was given a yellow card by Cratberg – a penalty for flouting the referee.

Manchester United's players were not satisfied, and now all three of United's attackers in front of the field have received yellow cards, which is a rare sight - attacking players have received more yellow cards than players at the back.

Juan Mata shook his head and walked out of the pitch, and the rest of the United players didn't look very good.

Crystal Palace, on the other hand, had their players very excited, and they managed to withstand Manchester United's attack in the first half, which was really not easy.

At half-time, Alan Padu naturally praised the Crystal Palace players, making them more confident and motivated.

Ancelotti, on the other hand, asked the Manchester United players not to focus on the referee's decision, but to concentrate on attacking and opening the situation as soon as possible.

It's better to score as soon as possible in the second half and then extend the score as much as possible, and Ancelotti's biggest concern now is nothing else, Li Qingshan is injured.

With Crystal Palace's style of play, it's no surprise that United do have players injured.

"The referee's performance in the first half was really not flattering, he was debatable in many of his decisions, his scale was very unclear, and the actions of the players on both sides on the pitch became more and more exaggerated!!" Andy Gray was on the bench criticising the referee's decision.

Even in the press gallery, journalists are talking about the referee.

In a game, the referee has become the focus of people's conversation, which is not a good thing, which shows that the referee is too eye-catching and blurs the focus of the game.

In the press gallery, there were many black-haired Chinese reporters, and they were also frowning at this time.

They can see how big Crystal Palace's action was in the first half, if because of this game, Li Qingshan was injured, affecting the Champions League final, and even affecting the Chinese team's World Wave Qualifiers, how would it be good.

........

The intermission ended in the midst of a lot of talk.

The second half of the game started quickly, and the TV camera did not lock on the focus of the two sides for the first time, but gave the camera to the referee Clattenburg.

What kind of performance will the referee show in the second half?

It seems that the on-site directors are also very curious.

At this moment, it was as if Clattenberg had become the protagonist on the field.

The second half was kicked off by Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace's attack was very simple, and they put in very few people. Cabaye found Wickham with a long pass, who won a scramble with Rojo for the ball, but Palace couldn't get the second point and the football was quickly controlled by Manchester United.

The referee in this game was very loose, which made Crystal Palace foul a bit unscrupulous.

Therefore, in the second half of the game, Manchester United also made targeted arrangements for this, Manchester United players increased the range of running, and at the same time increased the frequency and rhythm of passing, did not let the ball stay too much at their feet, and kicked the ball as fast as possible, so that Crystal Palace could not find anyone to find a physical confrontation.

This approach has really worked well.

In the 48th minute of the game, Carrick, Herrera, Li Qingshan, and Mata made a continuous pass to advance the ball to the front of the penalty area.

The dazzling passing left Palace a little bit at a loss and United's attack seemed to be slowly becoming fluid.

Carrick crosses Herrera, Herrera goes straight to Li Qingshan, Li Qingshan pulls out the penalty area and then crosses the ball to the right for Mata.

And Juan Mata had already looked forward to the passing line, and he played to the ribs to find Valencia in front.

However, just as he had already passed the ball, Mata was directly overturned by Crystal Palace left-back Suare.

This is a foul without a doubt!!

It's impossible to get the ball, it's a tackle against a nobody.

The Clattenburg whistle blew and Suare was shown a yellow card.

Manchester United fans were unhappy and thought Suare's red card was not too much.

Clattenburg also knew that the game might be getting out of hand, and he warned Suare, but he didn't know if the opponent would listen to it.

Crystal Palace still goes its own way.

In the 58th minute, Cabaye tackled, tackled Herrera to the ground, and then immediately dribbled forward after receiving the ball.

Referee Clattenburg didn't say anything, waving his hand for Herrera to get up.

It was Crystal Palace's counterattack.

Herrera didn't have time to protest to the referee, got up and gritted his teeth to chase back.

Alan Padu had already been immobilized by the immobilization spell, staring at the field intently. It's a great chance to fight back!!

Crystal Palace fans are holding their breath at the moment, lest they disturb Crystal Palace's counterattack.

And Manchester United's fans let out a sharp boo at this time, trying to interfere with the opponent's counterattack!

Cabaye didn't get much forward on his own, he dribbled the ball past the halfway line and played a long pass forward to find Zaha on point!!

Zaha was so fast that he dribbled forward, and even Valencia couldn't keep up with the former Manchester United Academy graduate.

Zaha caught up with the ball and immediately crossed the ball, and the strikers on the other side, Borassi and Wickham, both shot at the goal!!

The ball skipped over the heads of Wickham and Hummels, neither of whom could touch the ball.

At the back post, Bolassi went around to Sandro, and this time Manchester United's left-back was out of position!!

Bolasi possessed the header and jumped to the top!!

De Gea was also quick to react, he flew to save, and even the palm of his hand had already pounced on the ball, but unfortunately the header was too close, and even if De Gea pounced on the ball, he could not completely prevent the ball from going into the net!!

After scoring the goal, Bolassi was very excited, and he quickly ran to the corner flag area and knelt down!!

The other Crystal Palace players also rushed up 1!

They are 1-0 ahead of Manchester United!!

It's an FA Cup final!!

This is the final!!

Crystal Palace's bench was already boiling, Alan Padu jumped on the sidelines, and then ran dozens of meters to join the celebration of Crystal Palace players near the corner flag area!!

'Crystal Palace have scored!!' A fairly quick counter-attack!! Cabaye's long pass, Zaha's cross, Bolasi's header!! Just these three strokes broke through Manchester United's goal!! Crystal Palace have really been able to play counter-attacking this season, otherwise they would not have reached the FA Cup final!! ”

"But this ball is still a bit controversial, Cabaye when he steals Herrera, whether there is a foul, from my first intuitive impression, I think there is a foul, we will take a closer look in slow motion later. But in any case, Clattenburg pointed his finger in the middle circle and signalled that the goal was valid, and United were 1-0 down to Crystal Palace!! ”

"The next game will be interesting!!"

Of course, the Manchester United players are not willing to give up, Herrera is particularly angry, Cabaye just shoveled him first and then got the ball, it was an obvious foul!!

Today's televised broadcast confirmed Herrera's words, Cabaye didn't touch the ball at all during the tackle, he touched Herrera's foot first!!

The United players surrounded Clattenburg, but the England whistle was unfazed and insisted on his own judgment.

Ancelotti is also quite helpless, no matter how much he protests, all the fourth official will say is to calm him down.

One goal behind!

This made Ancelotti scratch his head a little, and it seemed that the plan to win this game with low consumption had been frustrated.

Either way, it was a final and United didn't give up anyway.

Wayne Rooney warmed up on the sidelines, and Ancelotti is going to continue to strengthen the attack!

The emotional Herrera was shown a yellow card by Clattenburg before being replaced by Wayne Rooney.

Herrera was still indignant after the game, he was still saying something, and was quickly pulled away by the players on the bench, so as not to be targeted by the referee after he got off the field.

.........

The game resumes.

Li Qingshan took the ball with his back in the front court. As the center of gravity of the team's attack, Li Qingshan has many opportunities to get the ball at his feet.

This time, Li Qingshan retreated a little deeper, but no matter where he was, there would always be Crystal Palace players around him.

According to Manchester United's previous offensive method, Li Qingshan should have passed the ball out immediately at this time, and he couldn't let the football stay at his feet for too long.

But Li Qingshan feels that Crystal Palace is slowly getting used to this rhythm, as long as they hold the penalty area tightly and don't let Manchester United have the opportunity to get off the ball on both sides and penetrate in the middle, no matter how smooth Manchester United's passing on the periphery is, it is just an itch in the boots.

This is the time to change the pace.

Li Qingshan has a high degree of freedom on the field, so when Li Qingshan stopped the ball, the other Manchester United players did not think it was strange, Mata and Di Maria, as well as the surrounding Manchester United players, began to run around Li Qingshan, taking away part of the defense for him, and pulling out the line of Li Qingshan's pass.

Li Qingshan got the ball in midfield, and it was Cabaye who was responsible for defending him.

However, Cabaye obviously couldn't bear Li Qingshan, even if he even dragged and dragged him, and even fell to the ground and hooked his feet, he couldn't put Li Qingshan to the ground, but was staggered by Li Qingshan to complete the turn!!

Cabaye, who fell to the ground, had no way to stop Li Qingshan.

Li Qing dribbled forward, his speed was not fast, and he actually did not sprint with all his strength.

Bolassi and Crystal Palace's centre-back Delanei slowly pressed on.

Drassy lowered his center of gravity and faced Li Qingshan to prevent Li Qingshan from breaking through head-on, while also defending his long-range shot.

Blassi was about to come over from the other side to break Li Qingshan's ball, but Carrick put it on from the side, so that Blasik had to follow Carrick up - otherwise, as soon as Li Qingshan passed, the gap on Carrick's side would be too big.

So now it's left for Delany to defend Li Qingshan one-on-one.

When Delany lowered his center of gravity and slowly approached, Li Qingshan also approached him with the ball.

Is he going to try people?

Delany snorted.

When he was prepared, with Li Qingshan's extraordinary skills, he wanted to get past him, and Delany thought that the possibility was too low.

Li Qingshan has never been a player known for his dribbling.

He was thinking about it when he noticed that Li Qingshan kicked the football with his left foot.

Really coming?

Is this about smashing the ball?

Delany noticed that Li Qingshan's foot was raised very low, which was a standard smash on the inside of the foot.

However, just when Li Qingshan's left foot almost touched the football, Delany felt a chill down his spine.

Li Qingshan, who was still slow, suddenly sped up, crossed the top of the football with his left foot, and immediately repeated the action with his right foot.

Pedal fast on the bike!!

Delany's center of gravity shifted to the right, and everyone knew that Li Qingshan's main foot was the right foot!!

However, as soon as his center of gravity moved, Li Qingshan also moved, and with a flick of the outside of his left foot, he flicked the ball to the left!!

It's over!!

Li Qingshan took a step forward and left Dragney behind!!

The defenders have also caught up!!

But at this moment, Li Qingshan's left foot was already straight!!

"Shot !!!!!!!!"

The left foot didn't have as much power as the right, but it was still powerful.

The soccer ball stuck to the turf and drilled into the bottom left corner of the goal!!

"The ball went in!! Just a minute after conceding the goal, United equalised with a lightning strike........... Li Qingshan!!!!!!!!! ”

Andy Gray chanted from the commentary seat!!

Manchester United fans are also boiling!

One-to-one!!

Manchester United equalised!!

The Crystal Palace players looked very frustrated, having just scored a goal and being knocked back by their opponents right away, which was a huge morale blow.

Alan Padu pressed down with his hands on the sidelines to allow the Palace players to settle first.

But United didn't give Palace a chance to settle down.

Taking advantage of the low morale of the Crystal Palace players, Manchester United immediately launched an onslaught!!

Wave after wave of attacks made the Crystal Palace goal a chorus.

Alan Padu looked nervously at the field.

However, just two minutes after conceding the goal, United scored again!!

Li Qingshan crossed the middle at the back point, and Rooney, who came off the bench, grabbed the point in the middle!! 1

Two to one!! Manchester United overtook the scoreline!!

In just three minutes, Manchester United scored two goals in a row, and the lightning equalized, and the lightning took the lead!!

This period of the second half seems to be the essence of the whole game, and the two sides have scored three goals in these minutes, which has changed the situation on the field!!

After the overtake, Manchester United slowly controlled the tempo, and after Crystal Palace fell behind, it was much more difficult to attack, and Manchester United did not give them too many opportunities.

Carlo Ancelotti began to make substitutions, with Li Qingshan, Juan Mata and Di Maria all being replaced.

The score was maintained until the end of the game.

Manchester United beat Crystal Palace 2-1 to win the FA Cup1!!

It was their second trophy of the season!!
