Manchester United thrashed Manchester City 4-1 to reach the FA Cup final for the first time since 2007.

Manchester United's last FA Cup triumph was back in 2004!

Since 2004, the Red Devils have reached the final twice, losing to Arsenal (2005) and Chelsea (stats) (2007). The most regrettable thing is that in the 2007-2008 season, Manchester United won the Premier League and the Champions League, and only one trophy was missing to repeat the treble in 1999, but the FA Cup quarterfinals lost 0-1 to Portsmouth, and the final FA Cup championship went to Pompeii!

Manchester United's league title this season has been solid, and now the FA Cup has reached the final, against the underdogs Stoke City, for Manchester United, this cup title is almost in hand, and if the Champions League is lucky enough, they are likely to repeat the glory of the 99-year treble.

Sir Alex Ferguson is 70 years old this year and his biggest dream is to win another treble before he retires.

In his post-match press conference, Ferguson also made it clear that he had ambitions.

'It's great that we got to the FA Cup final, it's a tough game, the process is far more difficult than the result, in this old competition we haven't played well over the years and now we finally have the best chance to win the FA Cup, of course, I'm not disrespecting Stoke City, they were able to go to the end and it shows that they have the quality. ”

'We've got a good advantage in the league, we've reached the FA Cup final, we're in a good situation in the Champions League, so I'm sure it's another good chance to win the treble, it's the dream of all teams, Manchester United is no exception, and if we can continue at the level we are at and if we don't have too much luck, I'm sure we can achieve it. ”

At the same time, Ferguson also praised the performance of the youngster Pogba, "Paul has an amazing performance, he has played a lot of content in the last ten minutes, he has the potential to become a world-class midfielder, but he is still young and needs to improve seriously because Manchester United have a lot of good players in this position." ”

Compared with the complacent Ferguson, Manchester City coach Mancini was very disappointed with the result of the game, he said that Manchester City had a chance to win, but unfortunately he was not able to grasp the opportunity, and Mancini believes that Manchester City's strength is not much worse than Manchester United, and the reason why he lost to Manchester United is not because Manchester City does not have a giant background, but because Manchester City lacks a superstar like Gao Xiaodong who can decide the game.

Roberto Mancini is not convinced of Manchester United or Alex Ferguson, who believes City are getting stronger and stronger and will be in contention for the title next season.

Manchester United fans were overjoyed after Manchester United won the early FA Cup final, having not won the oldest competition in seven years and were no less hungry for the FA Cup than the league title.

What made the fans even happier was that Manchester United stepped on the corpse of their rival in the city to reach the final.

In the last three years, Manchester City's rise has been very fast, and they are still in the rising stage, in comparison, Manchester United is a little young, in time, Manchester City is completely possible to compete with Manchester United, or even surpass.

Being able to beat Manchester City three times at this time and suppress their upward momentum is a good psychological comfort for Manchester United fans.

After the game, the media also believed that although Manchester City has made rapid progress, it has not been able to compete with the traditional giants Manchester United this season, and if Manchester City can't poach a Golden Ball-level superstar next season, I am afraid it will still not be able to take the title from Manchester United.

After previous games, touting Gao Xiaodong was a daily operation, but this time, in addition to Gao Xiaodong, the media has a new touting object, that is, the young talented defender Pogba.

"The Times" called Pogba the new Vieira, that this tall, but flexible, and technical awareness of the teenager is the guarantee of Manchester United's midfield position in the next ten years, Pogba grows up, Gao Xiaodong can rest assured of attack, now Manchester United's biggest hidden danger is in the two positions of central defender and goalkeeper, as long as the right goalkeeper and central defender can be found, with Gao Xiaodong as the core, Manchester United can open a new era of the Red Devils.

The Sun looked at Pogba's biggest FA Cup finding, believing that the significance of a Pogba is even more important than reaching the final, because Manchester United won the league title and did not desire the title, and they now want to be renewed. Don't look at Manchester United's large number of backs now, with Carrick, Fletcher, Anderson and Hargreaves, Gao Xiaodong can also play in the back, but Gao Xiaodong has to take over Scholes's work. The remaining four backs, Hargreaves is vitrified, Anderson is getting more and more water after the injury, Carrick is 30 years old, Fletcher lacks offensive ability, and he can't defend against high altitudes, with Pogba who has both offense and defense, Manchester United's waist problem is basically solved.

The Daily Mail believes that Pogba is Manchester United's most potential midfielder after Keane, and Ferguson should hurry up to give Pogba a contract, put him in the first team, and work hard in the league to let Pogba mature quickly.

In this FA Cup game, Zhang Qi, the head of Xinglong Agency, also came to the United Kingdom to watch Pogba's game, Pogba's play made Zhang Qi very excited, he understood that after this game, Pogba is famous, although he dare not say that he will be able to enter the first team of Manchester United, but with such a performance, there must be many teams that want Pogba.

Gao Xiaodong is also very happy for Pogba, Pogba can play, it means that he has money to make, Xinglong agency is going to be famous, on the second day, Gao Xiaodong found the best Chinese restaurant in Manchester to celebrate Pogba, and at the same time discuss Pogba's future development.

During the banquet, Zhang Qi saw that Pogba was a little carried away, and said to Pogba very seriously: " Paul, you can say that this game left a deep impression on the lord and the fans, and the lord also praised you separately after the game, telling you, this is not much, but you don't think that you can easily enter the first team, in the position of the back, Manchester United is very competitive, the older have Carrick and Fletcher, the younger have Anderson and Hargreaves, and even Scholes can play in the back, they are very strong, you have to show yesterday's performance in every opportunity to play, you have a chance to get a foothold in Manchester United, and you can't count on your potential, understand。 ”

Pogba didn't take Zhang Qi's words to heart, and said: "I think I'm better than the four of them in organizing the attack, besides, there is Brother Gao to help me." ”

Gao Xiaodong also felt that it was time to knock Pogba, and said: "Paul, what Mr. Zhang said makes sense, you need to work harder now, there are very few I can help you when you enter the first team, we have an old saying in China, called iron still needs to be hard, if you don't perform well, no one can help you." ”

Although Pogba didn't take Zhang Qi's words very seriously, he was still in awe of Gao Xiaodong, and when he heard Gao Xiaodong say this, he quickly accepted it humbly and said that he would continue to work hard.

Today is a happy day, although Gao Xiaodong and Zhang Qi felt that Pogba's acceptance was not so sincere, but they did not say more.
