Volume 3 The Myth of the Gunslinger Chapter 332 Force

Wembley Stadium itself was designed as a venue for national team competitions, however, QUAnbEN, Wembley Stadium hosted every FA Cup final from 1923 to 2000, every League Cup final from 1967 to 2000, and seven European finals (five European Champions Cups and two European Cup Winners' Cups).

It wasn't until 2002 to 2007 that the old Wembley Stadium was demolished, the new Wembley was not built, the game was interrupted, and the League Cup and FA Cup finals were also moved to Cardiff Millennium Stadium in Wales. In the previous Carabao Cup final, Arsenal won the final and in the FA Cup final, Arsenal made a comeback to snatch one of the oldest titles in football history back to Arsenal.

The 90,000 tickets for the FA Cup final were sold out a week ago, with Blue Moon fans hoping to witness Manchester City's first title on hand and Arsenal fans hoping to see Arsenal win an unprecedented Grand Slam. The race took place on Saturday afternoon... It was held, and many fans arrived early before Manchester City arrived in London.

In the morning, the managers of the two teams held another press conference, and Wenger and Mancini expressed their confidence in the victory, but by this time the fans had no intention of watching their verbal performances again, and the fans who came to the scene were in groups of three or five, or in the fan association, around the mess. Fans who can't go to the scene are either inviting friends and friends, or going to the online forum, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the game.

In the afternoon, there was still an hour before the game, and the imperial court station cut the live broadcast to the scene for the first time, Wembley Stadium was holding a pre-match cultural performance, and the commentators Duan Xuan and Tao Wei introduced the FA Cup, Wembley Stadium and the stars participating in the final.

"We won't mention the World Cup final at Wembley in the 60s of the last century, and those who have watched the game for more than three years know that today is the FA Cup final, so we will talk about the FA Cup......

"As one of the oldest competitions in the world, the FA Cup has left too many iconic moments at Wembley. Bolton took on West Ham in the first and first final, and Wembley Stadium was designed with the first FA Cup reportedly flooding more than 250,000 people, forcing kick-off to be delayed by 45 minutes. The policeman on horseback and the legendary white horse "Billy" were the most distinctive features in restoring order on the course, so the first final was also known as the "White Horse" final, and the iconic 133-metre arch bridge of the new Wembley was named "White Horse Bridge". ”

The other game was the 1953 FA Cup final, when Bolton were 3-1 down, Sir Matthews led the team to a Jedi counterattack, and three exquisite assists eventually led the score, and this final is also known as the "Matthews Final" ......

"The two teams in today's final are also star-studded, but I don't know who will be the hero of the game, who will go down in history like Matthews and Sir Bobby Charlton, Li Huan is of course the biggest favorite, but like Cesc Fabregas, Tevez, Arshavin also have a chance, and of course, it may be an inconspicuous little person who determines the direction of the game and the ownership of the championship."

Duan Xuan and Tao Wei introduced the history of Wembley and the FA Cup final like a treasure, but the fans' eyes were on the singing long-legged beauty Stace-Solomon, and not many people listened to them.

After the performance, there were earth-shattering shouts and cheers from the stands, and of course it was not just an appreciation for the stars who performed the song and dance, as the players from both sides approached the pitch under the leadership of referee Atkinson. The first chance to officiate an FA Cup final. Although not as famous as the police referee Webber, Atkinson is also a tough man, and he sent off both Ferguson and Wayne Rooney in the Manchester United and Chelsea games, and Ferguson was banned for five games, which also made Atkinson famous. However, Arsenal's players have a lot of criticism about Atkinson's enforcement, because according to the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, Atkinson is likely to have a good opinion of Manchester City.

Arsenal and Manchester City are both big teams, and the players are not unknown, so the commentators can name the 22 players who started without having to get a starting line-up.

“…… Manchester City plays a 442 formation: goalkeeper No. 25 Joe Hart, four defenders: No. 2 Richards, No. 4 Kompany, No. 19 Lescott, No. 13 Kolarov / The four midfielders are No. 18 Barry, No. 34 De Jong, No. 21 Silva, 42-Yaya Toure; The two strikers are No. 45 Balotelli and No. 32 captain Carlos Tevez...... It's a solid line-up, with only two strikers up front, both of whom are strong strikers, and only Silva in midfield is an attacking striker, with the other three being fierce defenders. The four defenders are also mainly defensive, but there are no offensive and defensive defenders like Sun Hai back then, and it seems that Mancini is still influenced by the Italian style of play, and he will be invincible first......"

Duan Xuan analyzed and reported on Manchester City's starting lineup with a smile, and then handed over the right to speak to his companion Tao Wei.

"In the face of a giant like Arsenal, Manchester City should be a little steady, now we look at Arsenal's starting lineup, the goalkeeper is still Fabianski, who has performed well recently, in fact, whoever is Arsenal's goalkeeper is excellent, and it is difficult for opponents to threaten Arsenal's door.

The four defenders are captain Li Huan, Vermaelen, Colescheny, and Klich, which is Arsenal's strongest defensive combination, and there are not many teams in world football that can break through this defense.

The midfield trio, Cesc Fabregas, Song, and Wilshere, is still a combination of two attackers and a defensive midfielder, but Wilshere's top position has become the norm.

The three forwards are Arshavin, Van Persie and Walcott, two speed wingers and a technical center, more than skill, but not enough strength, but want to break the iron bucket formation by Li Huan's free kicks, so Arsenal does not need a sledgehammer like Drogba and Vieri......"

Tao Wei is even more familiar with Arsenal's lineup, while reporting the starting list, he also pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of the starting players.

After coming to the court, the captains of the two sides, Tevez and Li Huan, exchanged team flags and team emblems, picked sides and served each other. Tevez had a very bad impression of Li Huan, and when he carried out these routine rituals, he was always cold. The Argentine, who is also an outsider and thinks highly of himself, is very jealous of Li Huan's achievements, he thinks that his skills, strength, and fighting spirit are not weaker than Li Huan, but he did not get half of Li Huan's honor, his heart is very unbalanced, but Li Huan is still smiling, as if he has not seen the frost on Tevez's face at all.

After the start of the game, Arsenal, who kicked off first, launched a fast attack, wanting to take advantage of Manchester City's unstable foothold to get into one first, so that they could not form an iron bucket formation, although Arsenal's ability to break the iron bucket formation is very strong, but it cannot be said that it can break all the iron barrels in the world, and it depends on the leniency of the referee, so Arsenal, like most strong teams, does not like the opponent's dense defense.

Theo Walcott and Arshavin were like two sharp swords, struck into City's half like lightning, the two were faster, and Van Persie, the centre-forward, instead shrunk to the back, looking like a forward midfielder.

The two fullbacks Li Huan and Klich were not conservative, they also quickly followed the two wingers to run forward, to meet their teammates, Fabregas and Wilshere in the middle quickly pressed near the center circle, Fabregas forward, Wilshere stayed in the center circle to connect the midfield, and Arsenal wanted to burn the fire to Manchester City's penalty area from the beginning.

In the first minute, Li Huan's cross from the left was blocked by Manchester City defenders, Arsenal got a corner kick opportunity, Li Huan's pass caused chaos in the opponent's penalty area, but Arsenal's players failed to complete the shot.

In the 3rd minute, Li Huan crossed again from the left, and Van Persie, who was inserted in the middle, shot an anti-aircraft gun angrily.

A minute later, Klich broke through with speed down the left and crossed for City centre-back Vincent Kompany to clear the ball almost an own goal.

In the 6th minute, the midfielder Alexander. Song was confident with his right-footed outside volley from 35 yards out, but the ball was just five centimetres wide of the right post.

In the eighth minute, Theo Walcott was elbowed by opposition defender Richards on the right side of the penalty area, but the perpetrator escaped referee Atkinson's eyes and went unpunished.

Before the fans had time to brew their emotions, they were immediately brought into the tense atmosphere of the game, and the applause rang out, and almost everyone praised that the final at Wembley was really worth watching

Manchester City has conceived all the openings in the face of the powerful Arsenal, including being besieged like this, but they still feel the suffocating pressure, because the opponent is too oppressive, too confident, every player after getting the ball is as if it is Li Huan, treating the defender as if he is nothing, thinking about it, passing it when he wants, this kind of self-confidence allows the attacking players to play their skills to the limit, and at the same time brings infinite pressure to the opponent.
