The race started at 6:30 p.m. on the weekend.

Wembley Stadium, which can accommodate nearly 90,000 people, has an attendance rate of 80%, which is already very high in the case of non-important league games. This is largely due to the huge influence of Manchester United, who are already the dominant team in the Premier League, with a large number of stars in the team, and this season's record is extremely impressive, which naturally attracts countless neutral fans.

Of course, Manchester City's continuous large-scale investment in recent years, whether it is the stars or the results that have improved year by year, has also helped the Blue Moon circle a large number of fans.

The FA Cup final has become a derby battle between Manchester City teams, which is naturally full of gimmicks.

Amid cheers and shouts from the sky, Manchester United kicked off first.

Unlike the Champions League game in midweek, Ferguson made a lot of changes to the team's starting line-up in this game.

The main goalkeeper of the Netherlands, Van der Sar, felt a slight discomfort in his right hand during the previous training session, and for the sake of safety, Ferguson rested him this time, and he was replaced by the backup goalkeeper Kuszczak of Poland. At the back, Neville returned to the starting line-up, with O'Shea replacing Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand still starting, while Patrice Evra rested at left-back and Brazilian teenager Fabio became the starting line-up.

In midfield, Michael Carrick was also on the bench, with Hargreaves at the back and South Korea's Park Ji-sung and Nani at wing-back, while Kaka's position changed to the middle.

Up front, Van Bizhuang and Berbatov are partnered.

This is a semi-main and semi-substitute starting lineup, after repeated battles, Manchester United's regular main players are inevitably mentally and physically tired, Manchester United's bench depth is not bad, and the strength of the substitute players is very good, so it is completely able to top, and the strength will not be too much reduced.

The most important thing is that Ferguson has not made any changes in key positions, and the two core players of the team, Van Bizhuang and Kaka, start the game, and Manchester United still have the qualifications to compete with any team in the world!

In fact, it is.

As soon as the game began, Manchester United launched a wave of lightning fast attacks.

Van Bizhuang turned the football back, replacing Scholes as the midfield commander, Kaka, and his teammates around him made a few inverted foot passes, and after receiving the football again, he just looked up and did not hesitate to kick the ball to the front.

Dimitar Berbatov had already run into place, jumped high and pointed the ball down with his head with his back outside the penalty area, and Van Bizhuang cut in at high speed from the diagonal stab, did not stop the ball, and met the ball with a powerful volley.

The football turned into a cannonball, with a violent whistling sound, and went straight to the goal!

"It's game on! Game on!! Let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both teams, Manchester United...... Oooooo......oo It's almost incredible...... Berbatov clicked the ball off, and Van rushed head-on—shot—"

"Violent volley from Fan...... As soon as the game started, Manchester United gave the opponent a ferocious blow! Manchester United have shown their will to win the final against the winners! ”

"Let's take a look at this attack first...... There you have it...... Oh, it was unbelievable, and the Irish veteran made an incredible save...... He actually saved the ball! Is...... The sword is not old! ”

The game has just begun, and many fans have not yet sat down in their positions, but in the blink of an eye, the game has gone straight to the high... During the tide stage, many people were a little unable to come back to their senses, but after a while, nervousness, anticipation, and excitement appeared on the faces of fans, and some people even began to scream loudly.

Ferguson, who was already on the sidelines, had already raised his hands and in his opinion, the team's lightning attack was so fast that it completely caught the opponent off guard, and the quality of Van Bizhuang's volley was extraordinarily high, and he was ready to cheer for the goal.

But in the blink of an eye, Ferguson put his hands down again, his face full of regret, but he still clapped his hands to the field as a sign of encouragement.

on the field.

Most of the Manchester City players still have a look of confusion on their faces, Manchester United's opening blitzkrieg really caught them off guard, but fortunately, goalkeeper Given's attention was very focused and reacted quickly, at the same time as Fan Bizhuang kicked the goal, he moved his feet, threw his body out, and finally, his right hand touched the football, and this was a touch, which made the trajectory of the football change, rubbing the post out of the bottom line.

Although he successfully defused the crisis, Jiwen was still scared when he fell to the ground, he got up from the ground, clapped his hands and yelled at his teammates: "Focus on the game!" Focus on the game! Don't be in a daze, don't give them a chance to play to the front court easily! ”

Fan Bizhuang craned his neck and roared unwillingly, with regret on his face that could not be concealed. After the football was played out by him, he felt very good, thinking that this shot was there, but he didn't expect that the opponent's goalkeeper actually played the role of a roadblock and saved his inevitable shot.

If the game starts with a lead, it is undoubtedly a perfect start, both for morale and confidence for the players, and the rest of the game will obviously be a lot better, but unfortunately, the football did not go ......

"Come again!"

Fan Bizhuang was unwilling, but he loudly encouraged his teammates, and Kaka had already run to the corner kick area.

Kaka then kicks the ball out. He deliberately kicked a front point, Fan Bizhuang shook off the defender like a swimming fish, swooped down, jumped up, poked his head out and threw it back, and the football was thrown towards the goal by him!

"Manchester United take a corner! Kaka kicks the ball to the front point! ”

"Fan-it's Fan-it's Fan-he's from the front and strikes with his head!"

"Oooh...... The football once again grazed the column and went out of the bottom line! Less than two minutes into the game, United had two dangerous shots on goal. It is worth mentioning that these two shots came from Fan! ”

"You can see that Fan seems very excited today, he is already in the game! …… A Fan who is in excellent condition is undoubtedly terrifying, almost no one can stop him, now let's see, when Fan will be able to score a successful goal! ”

Van Bizhuang's header once again threatened Manchester City's goal, it was the second threatening attack in two minutes in a row, and it can also be seen from here that Van Bizhuang did get into the form very quickly today.

Mancini stared at the field with a grim face, although he expressed some confidence in front of the media, but in fact, Mancini is very clear about the gap in strength between Manchester City and Manchester United today, and he also knows very well that Fan Bizhuang and Kaka are the most threatening figures in the opponent's team, and obviously, today's Fan Bizhuang is more sharp than before, in just two minutes, he has continuously created killing opportunities, which is enough to give him a wake-up call, and it will undoubtedly be difficult to win this game.

"Steady! Steady! Defend solidly! Slow down the pace and don't get carried away by them! ”

"Look at him! Keep up with him! Wherever he goes, he follows! Don't give him a chance to get off his feet! ”

Mancini waved at his disciples on the pitch and shouted for his team to calm down the tempo and stand on the defence first, and not give United another chance to play to the bottom of the field with ease.

But after all, this is a matter for both sides, Manchester City are aware of the difficulty of the game, naturally want to slow down the game, let them control the tempo, but obviously Manchester United do not think so, they just want to speed up the tempo, in the high-speed confrontation, causing the opponent to make mistakes, so as to seize the opportunity to kill the blow.

After Manchester City drove the goalkeeper out, they were not in a hurry to attack, but unhurriedly reversed their feet at the back, and they wanted to use this method to stabilize the formation first.

But Manchester United did not give them the opportunity to fall easily, Van Bizhuang and Berbatov at the front took the lead in actively running and tackling, Nani, Park Ji-sung and others behind them were also running around, and the entire Manchester United players in the front field moved and launched a siege.

Manchester City were forced to make quick passes and receive the ball, and this part is prone to mistakes. Manchester City, who were overwhelmed by Manchester United's siege, made several passing errors, and although they failed to make a big mistake in the end, they had a great headache and could only kick the ball forward in the end.

Naturally, the poorly prepared attack could not pose much of a threat to United's backfield, and soon the ball was snatched away and United's rapid attack was staged again.

After a quick succession, the ball was played down the left flank, and Nani quickly dribbled down the ball before shaking off the angle and crossing with his feet.

The football flew into the penalty area, and Berbatov and Van Bizhuang jumped up and fought for the top almost at the same time, but the landing point of the football was a little too high, and neither of them could fight.

City's defenders also failed to get their hands on the ball, which went straight across the box and out of bounds.

Although it was not able to produce a dangerous shot at the end, the chaos caused by it once again made the hearts of the Manchester City players nervous.

But there was no time for them to relax, and when the goalball was taken again, the United race was fast again.

Manchester City continue to be under siege.

"Oh oh, the whole team was very excited today, they were running so positively!"

"In this championship battle, from the very beginning, Manchester United has taken the absolute initiative! Mancini has to find a way to break the game, otherwise, if the situation continues like this, Manchester City's goal will only become more and more dangerous! ”

"Manchester United have brought the pace of the game extremely fast, and they are just going to win in this kind of fast-paced and high-confrontation collision!"

The game had been going on for more than 10 minutes, and in that time the situation had turned one-sided, with United dragging City to their pace, with a number of threatening attacks almost completely holding their opponents at bay.

The shooting stats are on point, with United having five shots on goal, four of which were on target.

Manchester City, on the other hand, not once.

Such a comparison is enough to show that Manchester City is in an extremely dangerous situation, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that if it continues like this, Manchester City's goal will be breached, and it is only a matter of time before it is breached!
