27 February, Wembley Stadium. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Wembley Stadium in London, which is directly affiliated with the English Football Association, is one of only three five-star stadiums in England, the other two being Manchester United's Old Trafford and Arsenal's Emirates Stadium. Wembley Stadium is home to the England national team and is the venue for the FA Cup and League Cup finals each season, as well as hosting major international competitions such as the Champions League final.

Although Wembley Stadium is a neutral stadium, it is no different from the road for Manchester United. London, the city where Wembley Stadium is located, has a total of four Premier League teams, including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham, which can be said to be Manchester United's sworn enemies, and the degree of unpopularity of Manchester United by London fans is still high. Aston Villa, on the other hand, are not bothered by this, with a poor record in the Premier League and not much competition with the London side. In contrast, this final in London is not an exaggeration to say that it is Aston Villa's home stadium.

The strength is not dominant, his state is sluggish, the fans on the scene do not support him, and under the action of three factors, the Manchester United players who came to Wembley Stadium were full of sadness. Thinking about what Manchester fans expect from themselves, they only feel that the glory of the Red Devils over the years has now become a liability.

Not only the players, but also the head coach Joseph had a lot on his mind. Since the year he first took up the whip, Joseph has won at least one championship trophy each year. With this year's league hopeless and the FA Cup still far away, this Carabao Cup final was a must-win for Joseph. If the game is lost, Joseph's legendary experience will inevitably leave a big stain, which is obviously unbearable for Joseph, who has long developed an arrogant character.

"It's just a Championship team on the other side, and a bunch of pigs can beat them! Look at the way you guys look, aren't you even as good as a pig?! Listen, we have to win this game, and we have to win it in 90 minutes, and then tell those London fans that the Red Devils are still their mortal enemies! ”

Joseph was clearly not well-versed in "locker room politics", as his words did little to boost the team's morale. But Joseph didn't care about that, because that's what he had always said. In Joseph's view, the team's tactics are much more important than morale.

Of course, only Joseph dared to say that, and what he was best at was tactical arrangement. As Joseph's signature tactical defensive counterattack, Joseph claims to be the second, no one in this world dares to call him the first, and Wang Shuai with a system bonus can't do it. After all, Joseph has been immersed in this way for nearly twenty years, and compared to him, Wang Shuai is like a little kid with a cannon, and he can't play the essence of the tactic of defensive counterattack at all.

It's just that Wang Shuai also understands a truth, that is, the more sophisticated the tactics, the higher the requirements for the players. Joseph's tactics are known for their team. From Porto to Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid, to Paris Saint-Germain, who left last season, these teams are among the top teams in the national leagues. If it weren't for the strength of these teams, Joseph's tactics would not have been at their best.

If Joseph has been asking his players to adapt to his own tactics, then Wang Shuai is the opposite. Wang Shuai's tactics for the team have been adjusted according to the strength of the players. In the original Youzhou Institute of Technology, Wang Shuai's requirement for them was to pass the ball more, and at most arrange the general direction of the running position to reach the sky. It was only after Youzhou Institute of Technology entered the Chinese Super League that the strength of the team came up, and Wang Shuai began to arrange some more subtle cooperation. And when it came to Aston Villa, Wang Shuai really integrated the attribute bonuses provided in the "micro-tactical system" into various tactics.

Therefore, although Wang Shuai knew that his tactical level was not as good as Joseph's, he was not worried at all. Because the current strength of Manchester United simply cannot meet Joseph's tactical requirements.

This can be known from the player information given by the system, Manchester United has eleven starters and nine senior professional players, which is not low, but it is not at all comparable to the teams that Joseph has coached before. In addition, Wang Shuai saw that the current mental attribute value of Manchester United players is less than 60 on average, which discounts their strength.

Aston Villa's side is different, Wang Shuai's tactical training has always been gradual, which has led to the team's tactical tacit understanding has been at a very high level. Coupled with the fact that it has been 25 years since the team last won the top competition, this sense of anticipation and the afterglow of the previous victory over Tottenham Hotspur directly left the team's morale a few streets behind. The most intuitive embodiment is that Villa's average mental attribute is more than 20 times higher than Manchester United.

Wang Shuai also clearly knows that the gap between the state of the two teams is enough to have a "suppression" skill, and it is still at the perfect level (author's note: perfect level suppression, if the opponent's league level is not higher than his own, the opponent's full attribute will be reduced by 10%). This is also more than enough to compensate for the drawbacks of the "Suppression" skill not being able to work on higher-level teams.

And Wang Shuai doesn't know that Wembley Stadium is also a favorable factor for him. If he knew this, I am afraid that he would really think that this League Cup championship is already in hand.

……

At 3pm London time, the League Cup final kicked off on time.

Before the start of the game, Wang Shuai guessed the coin in the referee's hand, and after giving up the right to kick off, Wang Shuai gave priority to the side of the court with shadows. The reason for this choice is, of course, because after 45 minutes of running under the sun, Manchester United's physical consumption will definitely be greater than Villa's, and Villa already have a physical advantage, so in the second half, the balance of victory will be more tilted in Villa's side.

As for tee-offs, it doesn't matter as much when both teams don't have home advantage. What's more, Wang Shuai believes that Manchester United is very likely to use defensive counter-attacking tactics, and if the first leg after kick-off is not launched in time, the importance of tee-off rights is even less important.

In fact, Manchester United's approach is exactly the same as Wang Shuai's thoughts, they frequently do passing and controlling cooperation in the midfield after kick-off, and they are not in a hurry to attack at all. Before, Wang Shuai was afraid that the opponent would adopt that kind of all-attacking and all-defensive style of play, and this tactic was not unused, but now Manchester United has begun to play possession, which makes Wang Shuai completely relaxed. After all, the tactics he arranged for Vera were also defensive counterattacks, and since the opponent was not in a hurry to attack, his side was also happy to rest in the shadows. Anyway, it's not yourself under the sun, and when it comes to the second half, it's the moment to really see.
