The FA Cup final at the end of this month is looming, and although there is still a week to go, it will not be enough for Arsene Wenger, who is aiming to win the title.

Their opponents are the dark horses of this season's FA Cup, Aston Villa.

Bruce's side lost 1-0 to relegation confirmed by Burnley in the Premier League, but they managed to avoid relegation by picking up important points from the previous games and finally three points from the relegation zone.

However, in the cup competition, it showed a completely different content of the game, beating West Brom and Liverpool in succession to advance to the final. However, they were knocked out of the Championship in the third round last season.

In fact, speaking of Aston Villa, nicknamed "Villa", they had their peak in the 80s of the twentieth century.

From 1980 to 1983, they won the Premier League, the Community Shield, the Champions League, and the Europa League. Four titles in three years are not impressive, but Barton's civilian division did dominate the Premier League during that period. After all, their last league title dates back to the 1899-1900 season.

This time entering the championship competition again, the whole team, including the fans, is boiling, and at the same time full of confidence that their team will create another upset

'Our team is in very good shape at the moment, we are here for the title and the players are for the title and they have a reason to get it. Before the game, their boss said this to the media.

'Their team has been outstanding this year, it's no accident, they're very strong, they're the best players until the last minute, and we can't relax.' Arsene Wenger is still rigorous, even if he is more hungry for victory than anyone else.

Fast forward to the last day of May, and the FA Cup final is about to be played at Wembley Stadium in England. On that day, London was crowded with people and Wembley Stadium, with the red and blue of this historic stadium filling the stadium. In this sacred hall, a new FA Cup champion is about to be born.

Before the game, the starting line-ups of both sides were revealed, with Aston Villa and Arsenal both playing as the main players, and both teams were very strong in their quest to win.

The match was refereed by British referee Martin, and it was the second time in a row that he had blown the penalty for an FA Cup final.

The players lined up on the stage, and what was surprising was that the team's leader Sun Xiang, the "young master", was still at the forefront of the team, wearing an armband symbolizing the captain on his arm.

"It was a real surprise. If the last game was because the team chose a lot of young players to play and let Sun be the captain, then this game is the real captain. And Arsene Wenger still chose Sun, which is too surprising. ”

"It's a signal, Martin." Alan Smith said: "Arsene Wenger wants to choose a core for his favourite team before he leaves, and that person will have to be able to establish himself when the next manager arrives. Obviously in Arsene Wenger's eyes, Sun is an absolute choice, he is an amazing man. ”

Sun Xiang wore an armband and his expression was unusually solemn, and he knew very well the importance of this match. He can't fail the fans, let down his teammates, let down the coach, live up to the responsibility on his shoulders.

Arsenal kicked off first, and Lacazette passed the ball to Sun Xiang in the back, which also meant that the FA Cup final officially began.

"Now in front of Sun is John Terry, the former iron-blooded captain of Chelsea!"

"It's already 40 minutes and the score still can't be rewritten."

'Aston Villa's defence is good and it makes it difficult for Arsenal. Alan Smith said.

Facing the former England's main central defender, it is clear that the experience is not on Sun Xiang. No matter how Sun Xiang shakes, Terry's defense is so solid and flawless.

Although he is older and his reflexes are a little slow, he is clearly superior in terms of defensive experience.

"Damn." Sun Xiang muttered, and hurriedly turned back to his teammates, and at this moment Wilshere came up.

"Jack! Someone in the back! ”

While passing the ball to Wilshere, Sun Xiang did not forget to remind him to pay attention to his back.

Gunners "The Prince" pulled the ball with ease to avoid defenders coming up behind him, and then quickly passed the ball to Mesut Ozil on the right.

'Arsenal make good use of the width and it makes them play games that are very enjoyable.

Mesut Ozil was not in a hurry to pass the ball and was looking for the best passing route against Taylor's defence.

"Guard against that German, don't let him pass the ball!" Whelan shouted to his team-mates, and his defensive responsibilities as a midfielder were equally daunting.

Sun Xiang then left the left flank and returned to the front of the penalty area, which happened to be in Whelan's defensive area.

"What's going on with this damn Chinese, why is it so difficult to prevent!" Whelan couldn't help but cry out. He didn't play in the two league meetings between the two sides, once with a yellow card and once with an injury.

Facing a Premier League star for the first time, I planned to show myself in front of the coach, but I never thought that this person would be so difficult to guard. From time to time on the left, from time to time on the right, always fluctuating, he wondered how this person could have such good physical strength.

'Whelan is tired, he is tired from Sun's defence alone, and with Xhaka in the middle, the Irish midfielder has a bit of a tough job.

Seeing Sun Xiang reappear in the middle lane, Huilan hurriedly followed.

However, Sun Xiang's running was just a cover for the purpose of taking away Whelan's defense.

As soon as Whelan left, the big gap in the middle was immediately exposed, and at the same time, Ozil struck a cross, and no one in that area could touch the ball.

"It's broken!" Bruce was shocked because he had already seen Xhaka ready to shoot.

"Go up to someone!" He shouted from the sidelines, but it was too late. Xhaka's shot flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

"Oh shit!" Whelan heard the coach's shouts and turned his head suddenly, by which time the ball had flown past his eyes.

He looked at the goal in a panic, and it was obvious that it would be a world wave.

"Brilliant shot! Johnstone! Equally brilliant saves! It was definitely the best save of the tournament! ”

Aston Villa's goalkeeper Johnstone stretched out with all his might and risked hitting the post to keep the unreasonable ball out.

The Aston Villa fans behind them exclaimed, the ball scared them to death.

However, this is not the final result, because the ball is just saved, not out of the line.

“！ God, how did he come about? Martin Taylor was surprised.

Sun Xiang appeared on the line where the goalkeeper pounced on the ball. Faced with a saved ball, the Arsenal captain headed the ball into the empty net.

"It's not the first time Sun has scored a goal like this." Alan Smith said: 'He's very talented at judging the ball's path and the moment Xhaka shoots, he's already running into that position. Obviously, he was doing the right thing. ”

Whelan, who was attracted by the ball and forgot to defend Sun Xiang, collapsed to the ground, and he was mainly responsible for this ball, but who would have thought that Sun Xiang's prediction was so accurate.

At 1:0 and 40 minutes, Gunners captain Sun Xiang helped the team score the first goal to lift the trophy.
