Chapter 849: Can't Lose the Final!

"Wayne... Rooney!!!!!! ”

In the midst of the frantic roars of the commentators!!

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

He stood in the corner flag area of the pitch, which is a gathering area for Manchester United fans!!!

Manchester United's players are pouring in!!

Inside Wembley Stadium, Manchester United fans cheered through!!

The audience was chanting Rooney's name!

England's top scorer!!

In the League Cup, he broke through the goal of his rival and helped the team lead Manchester City 1-0!!

In the past, when Manchester City were Manchester United's noisy neighbours, Manchester United's lead over Manchester City did not seem to be too much to boast about!

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

In both seasons, Manchester United was completely suppressed by Manchester City!!

Especially this season!!

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

Although this is only the League Cup, facing Manchester City, which is playing with the main team, to be honest, in this league, there is no opponent who does not have a weak stomach.

Even Manchester United, in the opening stages, was not the same.

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

And Rooney's goal completely ignited the hope of victory for Manchester United players!!

What about a twenty-six winning streak!!

It's the final!!

A final that will be a winner!!

As long as Manchester United wins!!

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

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

Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup, Club World Cup!

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

What can compete with European football is South American football, but the poor league organization in South America makes it difficult for their club teams to have any too strong teams, and most of the players of South American football teams play in European leagues.

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

Even Brazil, the kingdom of football, is far from being able to compare with the top five European leagues.

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 no surprise that Manchester City won the Club World Cup.

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

And for Manchester United, beating Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final to claim their first major trophy of the season!

This means a lot to both this new Manchester United team and Pep Guardiola, who built this team!

Therefore, it is no wonder that the Manchester United players were so excited after the goal, even De Gea, who was standing on the goal line, clenched his fists and raised his arms and shouted!!

On the sidelines, so did Pep 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.

Man City are strong!

Exceptionally strong!

That's what Pep Guardiola admits.

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

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

But there is only one match in the final!!

If you think about it from just one game, there is no doubt that United have a chance to win the game!

Especially if you go first!

Now the confidence of the Manchester United players is fully out!

This goal made the Manchester United players full of confidence!

Their fear of Manchester City has largely disappeared!

And, it's the League Cup final!

Scoring first in the final is a big blow to the side that conceded the goal!!

After all, such an important competition can be stressful for anyone!!

The pressure has an impact on Manchester United and Pep Guardiola believes that City's players are not robots either!!

Their mentality will also be affected by this goal!!

Now that Manchester United have the advantage in the scoreline, this is the best opportunity for Manchester United!

If you can snatch a trophy from Manchester City at the top!

Such a meaning cannot be overemphasized!!

Behind Pep Guardiola!

Manchester United's coaching staff are also rejoicing!!

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

In stark contrast to Manchester United, there is a Manchester City dugout on the other side.

Members of the coaching team frowned.

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

In the first half, Manchester City created far more chances, and even outright scoring chances, than Manchester United.

However, it was not Manchester City who scored first.

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

If you lose the game and lose the League Cup... This is really embarrassing!!

Gao Bo also felt aggrieved in his heart.

This is normal, and it will be true for everyone.

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

Therefore, he knows that even if he is aggrieved, he cannot show frustration and disappointment.

After all, it's not that I'm not performing badly, it's the opponent's goalkeeper who is exploding!!

In this case, the most taboo thing is to mess with yourself!!

Gao Bo's face was neither sad nor happy.

He made a hands-down gesture from the sidelines and pulled Trippier, who was closest to him, over.

"Tell everyone!! Stabilize your position first!! It's just one goal behind!! ”

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

For Manchester City, no matter what time it is, the manager on the sidelines is their backbone!!

Soon, the scene began to calm down!!

In the final moments of the first half, Manchester City launched a tidal attack!!

It would have been nice for City to have equalised before half-time.

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

As soon as the one-minute stoppage time of 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 front, and even Antoine Griezmann was ready to shoot!

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

This made Manchester City a little unhappy.

"This should at least allow us to complete this offensive !!"

Assistant coach Moya ran up to the referee and protested loudly, only to be shown a yellow card.

Gao Bo had already left the sidelines and returned to the locker room.

For Gao Bo, the fifteen minutes of halftime are very crucial!!

It was a crucial fifteen minutes for the team to lift the League Cup!

Forty-five minutes to go!

In these 45 minutes, Manchester City not only want to equalize, but also try to achieve a comeback!!

It's not easy to say if it's a task to complete, but it's not too difficult for Manchester City to say it's hard.

This time!

In every pub in Manchester, every Manchester man who is following the game, their colours are clearly visible from their expressions.

The red Manchester United man has a little nervousness on his face while his face is excited.

After all, it was only the end of the first half, and there were still 45 minutes to go, not yet the moment of full celebration.

Forty-five minutes, so much can happen!

The blue Manchester City man has a bit of a dignified face.

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

This game may be very difficult for Manchester City!

This night, the whole of Manchester, is watching this game!

The war between red and blue is going on at Wembley Stadium.

The audience on both sides is mostly concentrated in Manchester.

On the televised footage, the camera locked on the players of both sides.

The narrator's voice came from the television.

"The first half is over!! With captain Wayne Rooney's goal, Manchester United took a 0-0 lead over Manchester City at Wembley Stadium!! They went into the dressing room at half-time with a one-goal lead, and for Manchester City, this Carabao Cup final could be an extremely difficult game for them! This game will even give Manchester City a taste of their first defeat of the season!! Because, look at the determination on the faces of the Manchester United players!! ”

Lightkinson said.

'It would be an absolute shame for Manchester City, who have been in such good form lately, to lose this game in a crucial final, having won dozens of games. For Gao Bo, he wouldn't let this happen! ”

Redknapp added.

And far away in China.

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

With Wayne Rooney's goal, United took a 1-0 lead over Manchester City in the first half. But if we look at the first half, it's easy to conclude that the team that performed better in the first half was Manchester City. Whether it is the number of shots, the number of shots, the number of absolute chances obtained, or even the possession, passes, dribbles, etc., Manchester City has the absolute upper hand! ”

"However, that's often the case in football, where a team that performs better doesn't score. With David De Gea's superb performance, United kept their clean sheets in the first half and luckily they scored a goal!! If that scoreline continues, United could even become the first team to beat Manchester City this season!! ”

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

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

Manchester United fans cheered.

And Manchester City fans are not frustrated.

Manchester City are down by one goal, 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 this game are also focused on De Gea.

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

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

Locker room.

Gao Bo stood in front of the tactical board.

This tactical board is still the same as it was before the first half.

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

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

There was nothing wrong with City's tactics.

The key in the second half was the mentality of the players.

The excellent performance of the opposing goalkeeper is a very serious bruise on the morale of his own players.

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

'We played well in the first half, I'm very happy with everyone's performance, if it wasn't for the good luck of the other side, we would have scored at least three goals by now!!'

Gao Bo raised three fingers and said.

He didn't say this without purpose.

Like the world waves, there is actually some element of luck - of course, it can't all be due to luck.

But Gao Bo avoided the serious, and the players didn't think too much about it.

After all, many miraculous saves are impossible to make without luck.

Gao Bo said this, and the problem is not big.

"We've got forty-five minutes left, and that's enough for us!!"

"We've won a lot of games, and we've beaten them many times against the opponents in this game!!"

"Think of how embarrassed they were in the first half! They can't resist our onslaught!! ”

"Since their goalkeeper saved so many balls! So, let's keep him busy in the second half!! He makes one and we'll go ahead and organize a dangerous attack!! ”

"The goal is huge!! It is impossible for the other party to cover all the areas!! Don't think so much about it in the second half, there is a chance... Shoot resolutely!! ”

Gao Bo said loudly.

That's his biggest concern, and if the players are hesitant to shoot at David De Gea, it's even more difficult to score!!

"Decent! Resolute!! Don't think about anything else!! ”

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

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

Meanwhile.

In another locker room.

Pep Guardiola is raving about his team's performance.

Especially De Gea.

In the dressing room, almost all the United players embraced David De Gea.

Without the goalkeeper, they would have been beaten before Manchester United scored in the first half!

"In the first half, David's performance can only be described as incredible!! To be honest, it's the best goalkeeper I've ever seen!! ”

Pep Guardiola praised.

"But 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, can't let their offense fight... Manchester City, who are behind, will definitely press up and attack, so we have to pay attention to the space behind them! ”

Pep Guardiola said quickly.
