"Deng Kai and Ronaldo's champion genes are too strong! Manchester United has not won the EFL Cup for ten years, and Manchester City has not reached the final of the EFL Cup for 25 years! 》

"Ronaldo's chance for revenge has finally arrived! Which of the Sporting Lisbon twins will win or lose this time? 》

Isn't that a coincidence?

But it's not a coincidence.

Manchester United's strength this season is back at its peak, and the starting line-up may not be better than it was back then, but the bench up front is much stronger.

As a result, they played better in the EFL Cup, where they rotated.

And Manchester City, a mid-table team in the Premier League, gave up the league to focus on the cup, and it is not surprising that this result has been achieved.

Therefore, the meeting between the two sides is reasonable.

On January 25, the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Manchester City went all-in, beating their opponents Millwall 2-1 at home to advance to the next round.

Although the score was not huge, the game was actually one-sided.

Millwall didn't have any decent chances all over the pitch.

And Manchester City, 40 feet.

However, the foot wind is really not smooth.

January 29, the 25th round of the Premier League.

Manchester City host Fulham.

Deng Kai once again scored a hat-trick and dominated the game.

Manchester City continue to defend their home glory 4-1.

February 1, the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League.

Manchester City host West Bromwich Albion.

Despite being at home, City made a small rotation in preparation for the EFL Cup final in two days' time.

In this game, Deng Kai passed and helped Manchester City beat West Brom 2-1.

So far, Manchester City has ushered in five consecutive wins in all competitions!

This is a rare highlight of their season of form.

Manchester City's rotation in the league has undoubtedly shown their determination in the EFL Cup.

On the other hand, city brothers Manchester United have a full squad in the 26th round of the league.

Because the competition between Manchester United and Arsenal in the league is about to enter a white-hot stage.

United are currently on 53 points, three points behind Arsenal.

Naturally, Manchester United did not dare to relax.

Therefore, they can only sacrifice the EFL Cup.

The 26th round of the league is basically a preview of the English League Cup.

Because Manchester United can't afford to have their core players play two games in three days.

So when Manchester United defeated their league opponents 2-0, Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored twice, roared very unwillingly at the camera in celebration.

Then the camera shows Ferguson.

Ferguson was not unhappy in any way, because he knew that this roar meant that Ronaldo accepted Ferguson's arrangement.

February 3, the final day of the EFL Cup.

In the morning, Manchester City were the first to announce their squad for today:

Baggio, Fowler, Ribery

Deng Kai, Essien, Toure

Grosso, Chiellini, Hierro, McConn

Laiman

Elite to the fullest.

Shortly afterward, Manchester United also announced their line-up:

Diego Fran, Danny Webb

Jimmy Davis, Fletcher, Veron, Stewart

Kieran Richardson, Brown, O'Shea, Roach

Butters

This lineup is very unfamiliar.

Only Butters is the absolute mainstay of Manchester United.

Veron, Forlan and O'Shea are important rotations.

The others are either academy youngsters or simply fourth and fifth substitutes.

The reporter questioned Ferguson on the spot: "Did you give up the EFL Cup title?" It's a title, is that how Manchester United treat the game? ”

Ferguson was a little helpless about this: "In the league, we played very closely with Arsenal. The Premier League and the EFL Cup, put them together, I have to choose that. ”

"And we also reached the last 16 of the Champions League, where we faced Juventus, Super Laco and Basel, who knocked out Liverpool, in the second group stage.

"Do you think we can be distracted?"

"Or do we have the right to be distracted?"

'Of course, I hope you don't underestimate Manchester United's Academy players. They are all very good, and we have cultivated a golden youth training like the 92 class. ”

"I hope no one underestimates the Manchester United Academy!"

On Manchester City's side, Deng Kai also spoke highly of Manchester United's squad: "There are a lot of potential players in this team. ”

"Davis, Fletcher, Webb, Roach...... Premier League fans are familiar with their names. ”

"And Forlan is good enough to be the starting center forward in any team."

"We won't underestimate this Manchester United team, and we don't have the right to underestimate anyone!"

Ferguson's side, Jimmy Davies was quite excited when he heard the news that Deng Kai named him.

He knew that his chance to become famous with one goal had come.

Or rather, the opportunity for the rise of Manchester United's youth academy in their area has come.

But......

This generation of Manchester United Academy has been sad.

Because from the back, almost none of them hit it.

The biggest reason is that they coincided with the peak of the Class of '92, and they didn't get enough games in their best period.

Another reason is also that because Manchester United is strong, Manchester United's opponents are also strong.

And the few games that these Academy graduates have played at Manchester United have often faced strong opponents.

For example, this Manchester City team in front of you.

It's the team that made the pinnacle Manchester United fall apart when they arrived at Maine Road, and if you let a bunch of kids play against them, they're likely to be crushed.

When confidence is destroyed, a genius is not a genius.

Therefore, this wave of players should go to other teams as soon as possible to make contributions to other teams with the blessings of the 92 class, but anyone who stays here is waiting for death.

Forehead......

Speaking of which, Davies is a player who can't leave Manchester United.

Because if the timeline doesn't change, he will be loaned to Watford next season, where he will be involved in a car accident at the age of 21.

……

Millennium Stadium in Wales.

Wembley Stadium has been renovated and this year's EFL Cup final will be held at this stadium.

The match was attended by 75,000 spectators.

This will be England's first title of the year.

With the entry of players from both sides, the game officially began.

The third minute.

Davis made a false move past Dunkai and sent in a cross.

Forlan's header goes slightly higher.

Tenth minute.

Baggio made a rare breakthrough with the ball, shook off Veron, and sent a horizontal pass, and the knife is not old.

Deng Kai rushed to the ground and broke the deadlock with a long-range shot.

1 to 0!

Manchester City took an early lead.

This Manchester United midfield does not look badly configured.

The spiritual Davies, Stewart, who is good in all aspects, the defensive stalwart Fletcher, and the former best midfielder in Serie A, the white wizard Veron.

However, Flache's positional sense is too poor, and the rest of the players are strong in attack and weak in defense.

Deng Kai's kick was too easy.

Seventeenth minute.

Peron called Fran and made the connection.

Forlan catches the ball and blasts it over.

But before the United players could celebrate, the referee blew the whistle to disallow the goal.
