Chapter 278: The Ruler of English Football

"Bang!"

Dai Zhiwei completed the volley before Zinchenko's sliding tackle, and the football rushed to the gate guarded by Ederson like a long arrow!

The ball flew from Laporte's side like a cannonball into the top right corner of the goal, and Ederson, whose vision was blocked by the figures of two centre-backs, was the fastest and most appropriate response, but the distance of less than 10 centimeters became a trench - the football was less than 10cm away from Ederson's fingers!

“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!”

Lineker's rant filled the broadcast channel, but no United fan felt the slightest bit of displeasure because, as Gascoigne put it on TV: "Dai Zhiwei's goal left Manchester United with only a few minutes left to win the FA Cup!" ”

Lineker continued to go crazy in the live broadcast room, "2:0! 2:0! Dai Zhiwei scored twice for Manchester United! If Manchester United win the title, they will become the first team in England's 100-year football history to win the league, FA Cup and League Cup treble in a single season! At this moment, please call him 'St. Dai Zhiwei'! ”

Just in the infinite excitement and reverie of Manchester United fans, they expected that the picture of Dai Zhiwei and the Manchester United players celebrating did not play out as scheduled, but the live broadcast brought them an unacceptable bad news - the goalkeeper Dai Zhiwei fell on the line of the penalty area and could not get up.

Slow-motion playback –

Although Zinchenko, who slid in the sliding tackle in the oblique stab, had no intention of tackling Dai Zhiwei, although he panicked and wanted to retract his feet, it was too late, and the sneakers with spikes kicked Dai Zhiwei's right leg supporting his body again.

It's the right leg again!

It was the right leg that was kicked by Walker in the first half!

Seeing Dai Zhiwei flip directly into the penalty area, Wembley Stadium was first silent for a short time, and then erupted into the crazy and irrepressible curses of Manchester United fans!

For Manchester United fans and Manchester United players, even if they don't have this goal, they can't do without Dai Zhiwei, who can always put them at ease.

Scars are a soldier's best military medal, but they are also the last thing you want.

In the prayers of Manchester United fans, Dai Zhiwei was carried out of the field on a stretcher on the sidelines at the signal of the team doctor who rushed into the field.

Mourinho also doesn't care whether Dai Zhiwei can continue the following matches, he can't risk letting Dai Zhiwei force the game in such a situation, and there is no reason to do so.

Before the stretcher was completely out of the field, Pereira, who came on as a substitute for Dai Zhiwei, was already on the field.

With Dai Zhiwei gone, the new Pereira and Nemanja Matic formed a double midfield, Kroos in the middle, Juan Mata moved to the right, McTominay pulled to the left, Rashford became a lone striker, and Manchester United's style of play was more defence-oriented.

However, the focus of Manchester United fans at this time is no longer on the green field, but on Dai Zhiwei on the side of the field, and the live TV camera also swept to Dai Zhiwei on the sidelines from time to time during the game.

Just as Manchester City was organizing the attack, Wembley Stadium suddenly let out a burst of cheers that had nothing to do with the field, and the camera immediately turned to the sidelines.

The cheers at this time were dedicated to Dai Zhiwei by the fans at the scene!

Dai Zhiwei, who appeared in the camera again, had already stood up, although his steps were staggering, but he still refused the support of his teammates, and relied on his own strength to walk to the bench of Manchester United.

Although he was able to walk on his own again, it was a completely different concept from being able to play!

"How's it going?" Mourinho immediately asked the team doctor.

"It's not particularly ideal, and the next step is to do an MRI." Manchester United's team doctor frowned and replied: "Now I can't be sure if Dai will be 100 per cent fit for the Champions League final. ”

Although the team doctor's words were meant to comfort Mourinho, the madman's brows were still furrowed.

Dai Zhiwei sat back on the bench, and the team doctor tied a makeshift ice pack to his right leg.

He was also able to smile and communicate with teammates around him who asked about his injury, but his physical condition was not ideal, and even a little frustrating.

At the moment, his state of health in the system is unmistakably indicated by the Arabic numeral "5" - which means that Dai Zhiwei's injury will require a recovery period of about 2 to 3 weeks, not to mention the Champions League final, and the summer transfer window will open.

What's even more unpleasant is that Dai Zhiwei, the injury recovery function of the "football player system", has already been used today, and the next time will wait until a week later. Even if you can use the system injury recovery function after a week, you can only improve your health status by one notch.

And today is just 10 days away from the Champions League final matchday.

"I, can I really make it?"

……

Back in the game, Manchester City, who were already 2 goals behind, launched a fearless attack, like a matador bravely rushing towards a mad bull, putting everything out of the way!

In the 82nd minute, Manchester United suffered a huge blow when they were awarded a penalty, a chance that could almost close the gap between the two teams and restore hope for Manchester City!

When referee Michael Oliver's whistle sounded, and Aguero rushed to the ball, Romero subconsciously pounced on the lower right corner of the goal, but Dai Zhiwei's heart suddenly sank to the lowest point when he saw this scene, because Aguero was a more obvious feint, and Romero did not withstand the pressure.

2:1!

Manchester City chased a goal back and the hope of an equaliser was rekindled!

There are only 10 minutes left.

Manchester United naturally understand at this time that it is more important for them to consume the time of the game, and now they are 2-1 ahead of Manchester City, so the initiative is in the hands of Manchester United, and they have plenty of time and reason to fight for a bigger advantage at this time.

Manchester United patiently fell at the back, Jose Mourinho's side have always been ungraceful, and although such a move caused a lot of dissatisfaction among Manchester City fans, it did not affect United at all.

What they need now is to be more secure in their game and not let some of the battles they almost win cause any more trouble.

United have already started to make strategic choices to drain time, with Jesse Lingard replacing Juan Mata and Olivier Giroud replacing Marcus Rashford, and now the task is to keep draining the little time left in the game!

United's back three lined up in midfield, and although City's players launched a final frantic press at this time, United were still able to hold on to the ball at this time.

The singing of Manchester United fans at Wembley Stadium is getting louder and louder, and now all Manchester United fans can't wait for this game to end sooner and they all want to see the team win the domestic treble for the first time in their history!

Despite their dissatisfaction with the four minutes of stoppage time, the Red Devils' players completely retracted to half-time, as Manchester City, who had not given up completely, were still making the final struggle.

"Drop! Drip...... Drip! ”

The long-awaited final whistle of Manchester United fans finally sounded, and Wembley Stadium was completely boiling, although the number was not dominant, but the cheers of Manchester United fans at this time had completely drowned out all other sounds.

Manchester United become the first team to win the league, FA Cup and League Cup in a single season!

On the pitch, the Red Devils' substitutes were already rushing onto the pitch. And the Red Devils players on the pitch also rushed directly to their teammates the moment they heard the whistle, and at this time, all the Red Devils players were excited.

Dai Zhiwei went to comfort his opponent after a brief celebration with his teammates.

"Sergio, you're actually doing pretty well." Dai Zhiwei gave Aguero a comforting hug.

"You guy! Congratulations! Aguero forced a smile and patted Dai Zhiwei's shoulder and said, "How is your injury?" ”

"No big deal! Go and watch my race on June 1st and I'm about to win the quadruple! Dai Zhiwei smiled and patted Aguero on the back and said.

"It's a great honor!"

Compared with Bernardo, who was comforted by Dai Zhiwei on the side, Aguero's forward partner Gabriel Jesus was depressed and depressed, and he did not receive the full support of his teammates when he came off the bench.

"I didn't see Gabriel at the time, otherwise the ball would have been passed to him. I myself had two defenders in front of me and I wasn't in a very comfortable position to shoot."

In the mixed interview area after the game, Mahrez "defended" himself like this. Despite his repeated apologies to his team-mates, Gabriel Jesus was alone behind him and the chance was a rare one, and with everyone expecting the equaliser, Mahrez's mistake was magnified a lot.

But whether or not he really didn't see it, Mahrez was by no means the only one who didn't pass the ball to Gabriel Jesus.

I don't know if the TV footage shows such a picture: when Sterling, De Bruyne and other Manchester United players are all crowded on the left, Jesus is standing alone in the middle of the pitch with his hands raised to ask his teammates for the ball.

As a result, the ball was finally cut off by Manchester United in a "crowd of people", and Jesus spread his hands and looked at his teammates helplessly.

Gabriel Jesus is still a hairy young man who has just turned 22 years old, and he will not have such obvious dissatisfaction if he can't get the ball once or twice.

In fact, the crisis of confidence in Jesus has been revealed as early as when Pep Guardiola was in charge of the team, when Jesus rarely made sharp breakthroughs, when he was repeatedly robbed after taking the ball, his teammates have gradually begun not to pass the ball, or dare not pass the ball to him.

The golden boy who used to make his debut in European football has been squeezed out by the gorgeous cooperation of the current Manchester City players, especially several veteran players who always ignore the presence of Jesus intentionally or unintentionally in the continuous skilled cooperation.

Gabriel Jesus did not give any interviews in today's post-match mixed zone. Mahrez, on the other hand, is still apologizing to his teammates and fans through the media.

I don't know if the two communicated after the game, but after losing the last crucial opportunity of the season, a storm that is likely to cause internal turmoil among the Blue Moons will come.

Pep Guardiola and Sergio Aguero are not in the blue moon next season, and everything is full of uncertainties.

But none of this has anything to do with Dai Zhiwei, nothing to do with Manchester United.

At this time, Dai Zhiwei had already been surrounded by reporters, and the media was most concerned about his injury at this time, but Dai Zhiwei had nothing to say about his injury.

Saying that your injuries don't affect the overall situation?

If his injury doesn't heal in the Champions League final, wouldn't that be a blow to his fans?

Say your injuries are not optimistic?

Do you really want to say such things that ruin the atmosphere when you win the championship?

So, after Dai Zhiwei casually made a cliché that he was happy after winning the championship, he found an excuse to return to the locker room.

Speaking after the game, Pep Guardiola felt that the problem for Manchester City was that they were not in control, and he admitted that it was very difficult to get the ball from the feet of the Manchester United players, and he believed that the main problem for Manchester City tonight was in attack, and the attack up front was not as sharp as against Manchester United.

'We played very well in the FA Cup, but tonight we weren't as sharp as we were in previous games.

Despite being beaten by Manchester United, Pep Guardiola expressed his demeanor, "First of all, congratulations to Manchester United, and secondly, I wish Dai a speedy recovery from injury and a good performance in the Champions League final. ”

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho praised his team's confidence in speaking to the media: "We played in order today, both in attack and defensively. All the players were outstanding on the pitch and we played a good game today. ”

The whole team is very happy to win the domestic treble, but Mourinho said that the priority now is not to celebrate, but to study the opponents in the Champions League final: "It's a wonderful moment, everyone is happy about the victory, but what we need to do now is to study the opponent for the next game and prepare for the Champions League final." ”

After reaching the final, Manchester United will meet old rivals Liverpool in the Champions League final in 10 days' time, and Mourinho says that while Liverpool are a tough team to play against, the Reds will not be afraid of their opponents.

'Liverpool have a lot of good players in the squad and they are very well organised in attack. But I believe in our quality and we will try to keep the form we have until the Champions League final and then try to win the game and try to win the title because it's my responsibility after all. ”

As for the injury that people are most concerned about Dai Zhiwei, the madman who has been talking about it before is silent, and in the past two seasons, Dai Zhiwei is a well-deserved thigh for Manchester United, and even self-confidence like Mourinho does not dare to say that his role is greater than Dai Zhiwei.

And now is Dai Zhiwei going to miss one of Manchester United's most important games of the season?

Judging from the few games in which Manchester United did not have Dai Zhiwei this season, the current Red Devils lack Dai Zhiwei, and they lack the determination to score goals and win.

It also cast a shadow over the hearts of all Manchester United supporters.
