After Manchester City scored two goals, the game can be said to have lost its suspense.

It's just that Manchester United still refuses to give up easily, and Ferguson still keeps encouraging the players to persevere.

After Gao Han took a two-goal lead, he also made substitution adjustments successively, especially after entering the 80th minute, and used up the remaining two substitutions in one go, replacing many main players at the break.

Manchester United played hard in this final, but Manchester City also had a hard time.

It wasn't until the 88th minute that United finally seized a chance.

Ryan Giggs' cross from the left was met by Rooney in the box, which struck the leg of Xavi Martinez and turned in a different direction into the goal of Cech, 1-2.

After that, United wanted to take advantage of the victory, but City quickly changed colors.

Especially in the first minute of stoppage time, Xavi Martinez launched an attack with a long pass, and Sturridge drove straight into a single knife, if it wasn't for Van der Sar's quick reaction, Sturridge's goal would have been undoubted.

The match ended 2-1 with Manchester City beating their rivals Manchester United to claim their first trophy of the new season.

At the end of the game, the entire Wembley stadium was transformed into a sea of celebration for Manchester City fans.

The last time Manchester City won the English top flight was in 1968, more than 40 years ago, and the last time they won the FA Cup was in 1969, 41 years ago.

In contrast, the League Cup is the closest, having won one in 1976, but it has been more than 30 years.

As a veteran team in the Premier League, Manchester City is set off by its rival Manchester City, and the championship honor is extremely cold.

But now, tonight, at Wembley Stadium, which has a special meaning for English football, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2-1 and won the first cup title of the new season.

How many years have they been waiting for this moment?

Now it's finally happening!

Not only the fans in the stands were excited, but the players in the stadium were equally excited.

Xavi Alonso, as the captain of the team, still led his teammates to the stands of Manchester City fans to greet them, thanking them for supporting the team on the spot, and then they all walked towards the high cold, and without waiting for the high cold to resist, he directly threw the high cold into the air.

It wasn't until the staff of the organizer came to inform that the award ceremony was about to start, and the players put down Gao Han.

As soon as everyone heard that they were going to receive the prize, they immediately rushed to the stand at Wembley Stadium.

This made Gao Han stand in the arena and couldn't help laughing.

It finally lived up to the expectations of the fans, the players and the management.

"Why don't you go to claim the prize?" Ferguson's voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Gao Han turned his head, smiled at Ferguson, stretched out his hand, shook hands with him vigorously, and hugged him politely, before he replied with a smile: "This league cup is too small, and the essentials are also big." ”

Ferguson first pretended to be surprised, and then laughed.

Among the many top league trophies in England, the League Cup is indeed the smallest, smaller than the Community Shield, which seems to be highlighting the influence of this cup, and it is also the smallest of many cups, and even a little frivolous.

For a lot of teams that play in European competitions, they won't even think about making a difference in the League Cup, because there is no value for money.

Ferguson also understood the meaning of Gao Han's words, "Then I'm afraid it has to be the biggest trophy to satisfy you." ”

Gao Han smiled noncommittally.

Ferguson is talking about the St. Bride Cup in the Champions League, which is indeed the pursuit of Gao Han's management of Manchester City.

To be honest, with such amazing investment from Manchester City and the trust and support given to Gao Han, Gao Han is very sure that he can get it.

"Tell me the truth, what do you think is the biggest problem for us at Manchester United right now?" Ferguson asked with concern.

"You don't know?" Gao Han didn't believe it, he thought Ferguson must know.

Ferguson didn't answer, just smiled, "I'd like to hear your opinion." ”

Gao Han nodded slightly, "Team strength, I think." ”

"How?"

Gao Han hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ferguson deeply, and suddenly his expression became serious, "Old man, let me tell you the truth, according to your current way of playing, the longer you stay in the position of Manchester United manager, the more damage you will do to this team, I dare to guarantee that once you leave, you will only be left with a mess." ”

After hearing this, Ferguson shook his head with a wry smile, "You are really honest enough to say this." ”

Gao Han shrugged his shoulders, I've always been so honest and honest, don't you know?

Ferguson rarely refutes Gao Han's words, but after a short silence, he let out a long sigh.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read!

Gao Han knew Ferguson's dilemma at this moment, and he also understood Ferguson's intentions.

Whether it is for Manchester United, for the Premier League, or even for world football, Ferguson is an insurmountable monument, especially his deep affection for Manchester United, which is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

On the one hand, he is responsible for the management of the club, and even the Glazer family, and the team is now heavily indebted and simply cannot come up with more transfer budget to support his transfer needs, so buying a Benzema has to be a matter of weight.

But everyone knows that buying young players is like scratching a lottery ticket, it's hard to say.

But on the other hand, Ferguson is well aware that his managerial career is coming to an end, and he wants to have a more decent way to retire, so he can't make that kind of heart-wrenching reform to Manchester United.

It can be said that under the balance of these two factors, Ferguson has not many options in the transfer market at all.

Especially in this era of rising player value.

But can Ferguson be blamed?

Gao Han doesn't think so, because no one, standing in Ferguson's position, may not do better than him.

Perhaps, this is the twilight of heroes.

…………

After Manchester City received the trophy, Xavi Alonso lifted the League Cup trophy high to the cheers of all the fans in the stadium amid long streamers and cheers.

But the award ceremony passed quickly, and the City players returned to the dressing room with the trophy in hand.

After the team arrived in the dressing room, big boss Mansour, accompanied by chairman Hosni Mubarak and technical director Paul Futre, visited the dressing room to congratulate all the players on the spot, thanking the players and staff for their dedication to the club, which led to the first trophy in Manchester City's history after more than 30 years.

Mansour was also very proud, personally promising that the club would immediately honour all the prize money promises, and that every player and employee would receive a generous gift to win the championship, and also encouraged all players to continue to work hard to achieve success in the Premier League and FA Cup this season, especially the FA Cup.

The Premier League has now been played, and the title can be said to be very clear, and it will be no surprise that Manchester City will win the title.

Mansour promised that if the team can win the FA Cup and the treble after the league and league cups, the team will distribute a generous bonus to each of them.

There must be brave men under the reward, and Mansour's move quickly lifted the morale of the soldiers in the locker room.

After seeing off Mansour, it was not long before chief scout David Harrison was ushered in.

The City scout knocked on the door of the City dressing room with Raheem Sterling, his parents and agent Jorge Mendes, who were allowed to enter.

This was the first time Gao Han had met Sterling in person, and it had been all photos and videos before.

This fifteen-year-old gives him the feeling that he is short, really short, although he should be able to grow taller at the age, but it is estimated that he will be about 1.7 meters at most, and he will not be taller anymore, which is considered short among British players.

But short also has the advantage of being short, giving people a very flexible feeling, like a vigorous cheetah, even if he is a newcomer, enters the dressing room of Manchester City, and sees Gao Han and many big-name superstars, he doesn't seem to have any stage fright, and his eyes are more curious, which makes Gao Han secretly praise.

Any player who wants to make a difference on the professional court often has to have a big heart, no matter how old he is, whether he is famous or not, and no matter who he is facing.

To put it simply, if a player's heart is not big enough and he is easily timid, then how can he play on the court?

On the contrary, like Sterling, he is very curious about everything, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, which is a good thing.

At least he dared to rush.

"How is it? Are you interested in coming to Manchester City?" Gao Han smiled and looked at the teenager in front of him.

The rest of the dressing room also looked at Raheem Sterling with interest, the 15-year-old who looked to be admired by the boss and was the hottest young player in England in recent times and was named for the England Under-16 squad.

At this time, Sterling was a little nervous, looking left and right, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he asked rhetorically: "What about ...... Can I play for you?"

There was a burst of laughter in the locker room.

It's only fifteen years old and you want to play?

You know, the youngest appearance record in the Premier League is 16 years and 198 days, but both La Liga and Serie A have 15-year-old appearances, but does that make sense?

Playing too early is not necessarily a good thing for a player.

Of course, Gao Han would definitely not say that, he smiled, "I'm afraid this is not something I can promise you now, it depends on your next performance and your performance in training, but I can promise you that you will have the opportunity to train with the first team once a week." ”

"Really?" said Sterling, thrilled.

Gao Han smiled and nodded, this is an academy policy he has implemented at Manchester City, allowing the best players in the youth team to train in the first team every week, in order to motivate the players, but also to allow the youth players to learn from the stars of the first team and stimulate them to improve.

It's also a way to develop young players.

Raheem Sterling's parents always stood behind them with a smile on their face, not stopping their son from communicating with Gao Han, and it is not difficult to see that their attitude is actually extremely inclined to Manchester City.

As for the agent Jorge Mendes, Sterling was originally recommended to him by Gao Han, where would he refuse?

"Think about it, come to Manchester City. Gao Han smiled.

Sterling looked back at his parents, then turned to look at superstars such as Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo, and then at Gao Han, he nodded heavily, "Well, but can you promise me one thing?"

"What?" asked Gao Han.

Sterling pulled a notepad and a pen out of his pocket, "Sign it for me." After speaking, he handed it to Gao Han.

Suddenly, the whole locker room burst into laughter again.
