I Am Really the Savior of the Red Devils

Chapter 421: Decisive Battle II

At 17:10 on May 19, British local time, at the New Wembley Stadium, the FA Cup final is imminent.

Ye Su and Chelsea coach Conte shook hands and greeted politely, and returned to Manchester United's coaching bench.

At this time, the names of the players from both sides are being played on the radio, and every name that is read out will win huge cheers from the stands.

The commentator is also introducing the starting rosters of both sides.

Chelsea lineup (352):

Goalkeeper No. 13 Courtois; defense: No. 2 Rudiger, No. 24 Cahill, No. 28 Azpilicueta;

Midfielder: No. 3 Marcos Alonso, No. 14 Bakayoko, No. 7 Matic, No. 4 Fabregas, No. 15 Moses;

Forwards: Hazard No. 10, Giroud No. 18;

"This FA Cup final is Hazard's second consecutive FA Cup final. Last year, Chelsea lost to Arsenal and Hazard missed his first FA Cup. If he can win the FA Cup today Cup championship is also a huge career gain for this young Belgian international." Lineker said, "There are many rumors about Hazard joining Real Madrid after the season. Chelsea fans even booed Hazard at Stamford Bridge in the last round of the league, but today Conte still chooses to trust Hazard."

………………

Yesu has been staring at Chelsea's starting players, seeing that Conte did not choose Lukaku to start, but finally chose Giroud to start, a smile appeared on his calm face.

The camera happened to give a close-up of the coach seat, and Ye Su's smile appeared in front of all the TV audience.

"Coach Ye Su is smiling. It seems that he is really confident in this game." Lineker said.

The camera then gave a close-up of Conte, the head coach of the Chelsea team. The Italian was in a neat suit, but his expression was quite serious.

"It seems that Mr. Conte is not as relaxed as his opponent." Lineker said, "The FA Cup is probably the last chance for the Italians. If Chelsea can't win the FA Cup, Conte Dee will have nothing at Stamford Bridge."

Conte, who didn't know that he was already being watched by the camera, was a little nervous. He took a deep breath, winning or losing in one fell swoop. Although he was unwilling to admit that the team had problems when facing the media, he always talked about him, But he also understands,

Right now, it was as if he was crossing the abyss holding the rope with one hand, and if he let go of his hand a little bit, he might fall to pieces.

………………

Players from both sides stand in their respective positions and wait for the kick-off. The new Wembley Stadium, which has been noisy all the time, is also quiet at this moment, and everyone is waiting for the opening whistle to sound.

The referee on duty, Mike Oliver, looked at the players on both sides, then at the time, and then at the fourth official on the sidelines, and then he blew his whistle vigorously.

Chelsea kicked off first. After Giroud passed the ball to Hazard, he ran forward.

At the same time, Harry Kane, who was waiting in the middle circle, rushed directly towards Hazard who was holding the ball.

Hazard did not give Harry Kane a chance to intercept the ball, he passed the ball to Fabregas behind him, and he brushed past Harry Kane.

Harry Kane went straight past Silva and continued to pounce on Cesc Fabregas.

Fabregas passed the football to Matic.

At this moment, on the left side of Chelsea, Moses was advancing at high speed. Matic pulled the ball horizontally, avoiding Rooney who rushed up, and then made a long pass with a big foot. The football flew over the crowd and flew straight to the right side. Moses stopped the ball beautifully, and then he was about to speed up with the ball, but was knocked to the ground by Valencia who rushed over to defend.

beep!

The referee Oliver's whistle blew, signaling a foul by Valencia, and Chelsea won a free kick on the left.

………………

Chelsea's free kick, Hazard stands on the penalty spot, ready to take the free kick.

The Manchester United team, except for Mata, stayed in the frontcourt, and almost all retreated to defend the free kick.

Kante is marking Hazard, but his mind is thinking about the conversation the coach had with him before the game.

"Today's game, you have a heavy task. I hope you can show your best performance and fighting spirit." Ye Su patted Kanter on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The team needs your wonderful performance!"

Now, thinking of what the coach said, Kanter still feels excited. This is the coach's trust in him!

What the coach means is that while he is asked to do a good job of defense, he must also strive to contribute to the team on the offensive end, and even strive to score goals. This makes him deeply responsible.

Kante first glanced at his man, then looked across the center circle to Chelsea's goal.

Chelsea's chance to attack from a free kick this time is also aggressive. There are only two defenders in the backcourt. In addition, their goalkeeper Courtois also looks a little relaxed, a little far away from the goal, and they are all standing near the penalty area line.

At this moment, Ye Su also had a serious expression on the sidelines at the coach's bench.

The team's biggest pressure in this game lies in the defense of the midfield, or to put it more bluntly, Kanter's defensive task today is very heavy.

As a traverser, Ye Su is too aware of Hazard's ability in the opponent's team. The Belgian midfielder is definitely the best player in the Premier League who is good at breaking through. Among the defensive players in the Premier League, it is unique to be able to defend Hazard one-on-one. Although Kanter's defensive ability is very strong, it is really difficult for some strong people to guarantee to guard against Hazard.

That's why he specifically found Kanter before the game to cheer for the favorite, and it seemed to work well.

………………

Cesc Fabregas' free-kick flew into the penalty area, Maguire took off, and grabbed the ball before Giroud.

Subsequently, Luke Shaw faced the direction of the goal and made a barb clearance, but the football was not kicked far. Marcos Alonso ran over to get the ball. It was Hazard who passed the football to come over to respond.

Kante immediately pounced on Hazard, while De Bruyne filled his position to mark Moses.

Kanter put some pressure on Hazard from the side. He moved very quickly. Hazard, who had just received the football, did not expect Kanter to grab it so fast. He staggered and lost the ball!

In this confrontation, Kanter won a round!

"Nice steal!"

Cheers and applause dedicated to Manchester United fans sounded from the stands.

Manchester United fans like Kanter very much. This player is very down-to-earth, and his attitude towards the game is undisputed. He is very desperate, and everyone knows that Kanter is the most direct player who listens to Ye Su's words the most. This is one of his own.

In addition, Kanter has made great progress after joining Manchester United. He was originally just a little-known player who was in his twenties and was still wasting time on the bench in Ligue 2.

But look at the present, the hard-working Kanter is the main midfielder of the dominant team in the Premier League. He is the most indispensable moment for Manchester United's midfielder, and his importance is even comparable to that of team captain Rooney.

How can fans not like such an inspirational player who is a late bloomer?

………………

After Kante steals the ball, he looks ahead, towards Chelsea's goal, and he has an urge to hang the goal.

"N'Golo, here!" De Bruyne shouted.

Kanter, who was just about to move, immediately passed the football to him without the slightest hesitation. He knew what his most professional job was.

De Bruyne received the ball and knocked the football forward. Fabregas came to intercept it. At this moment, De Bruyne passed the ball, and the overhead ball flew directly to Vardy!

Fabregas pounces on Vardy again.

Vardy stretched out his foot and knocked the football volley to De Bruyne who came to meet him, and Fabregas threw himself at De Bruyne again.

De Bruyne crossed the ball diagonally, Mata took the ball, and Fabregas pounced on Mata again.

Fabregas is so angry now, he feels like a monkey, being played around by Manchester United.

And what annoyed him the most was that none of the other teammates came to help press, even Matic, the midfielder, was pushing forward, as if they were waiting for him to steal the ball and launch a second attack?

At this moment, Matic called Ma Qianqian!

What the hell! Instead, he really became Chelsea's defensive engineer!

………………

Mata dribbles the ball forward.

Finally other Chelsea players came to tackle and Cahill came up to defend Mata.

Mata knocked the football to Rooney, Azpilicueta came up to defend, and with his back to the goal, Rooney passed the football from between Azpilicueta's legs to Vardy who moved closer to the center.

Matic finally stopped watching the show, he rushed up to defend Vardy.

Vardy hit the football to De Bruyne again.

Fabregas took a breath, finally recovered, and rushed to De Bruyne again.

De Bruyne's light toe poked and passed the football to Rooney who retreated to respond.

At this time, Manchester United has advanced to an area about 30 meters away from Chelsea's goal.

For a while, Manchester United's players passed the ball continuously outside Chelsea's penalty area, but Chelsea's players couldn't even touch the ball. For Chelsea, this is simply a shame and a great humiliation.

Chelsea fans in the stands booed loudly. The fans of Manchester United are very excited. Today, the Manchester United team is in a very good state, and what makes them feel most strongly is that the players are very confident.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois watched the Manchester United back and forth outside the penalty area, he was very nervous, kept staring with wide eyes, just watched the football pass from here to there, to and fro, he watched Some dizzy.

"Push out! Advance the defense, press out!" Courtois shouted, "Steal the ball!"

The goalkeeper's intuition tells him that it is really dangerous to let the opponent keep pouring the ball like this, because you can't predict when the opponent suddenly instigates an attack, or how to start the attack, whether it is a pass or a through ball? Slash the ball? Or suddenly speed up? Or a sudden long shot?

This is a great psychological pressure on the goalkeeper.

Who the hell can steal the ball, and then take a kick to clear this damn football out of the danger zone.

………………

Kante dragged behind United's attacking group, he was in charge of the most important line of defense before the team's defense. At this moment, Kanter looked at the smooth passing of his teammates, and he felt itchy in his heart, and he also wanted to participate.

However, he knows that his skills, passing creativity, and vision are incomparable to those of Rooney and Mata, and he has a clear understanding of himself.

He has always been vigilant, because once Manchester United makes a pass error or is intercepted, Chelsea will take advantage of the situation to launch a counterattack, and what Kanter has to do is to organize the defense line as soon as possible and provide a defensive barrier for the defense line.

What tickled his heart was that he was dizzy from watching from behind. What he was thinking at this moment was that he kicked himself up and scored a goal. Everything was quiet and perfect.

Of course, it's just an imagination. Just as he was very eager to kick the ultra-long-distance hanging door just now, he just thought about it.

At this time, Kanter felt ashamed of his lack of ability. He knew that the coach expected a lot from him, expecting him to be an offensive and defensive player, but he did a good job defensively, but he was really not good at the offensive end.

………………

At this moment, Valencia stepped forward with an assist, and Mata made a gesture to pass the ball to Valencia, but suddenly passed the football into the penalty area.

Harry Kane held Chelsea veteran Cahill and completed a difficult half-turn volley against the falling football. Courtois, who had been vigilant for a long time, knelt on his knees and hit the football with a movement similar to playing volleyball.

Rooney got ahead of Matic and gave the football to Mata, and Mata knocked the football to De Bruyne.

"Kanter!" De Bruyne passed the football to Kanter behind him. He ran forward and called Kanter's name at the same time, which meant that he planned to hit a wall.

Then, De Bruyne, who had just started to speed up, saw the football fly over his head.

"Is this a pass?" De Bruyne's first reaction was this.

wrong!

De Bruyne was stunned when he saw that the ball was moving so fast and an arc flew directly towards the goal. Is this a shot?

"Who told you to shoot?" De Bruyne muttered unhappily, of course, he just muttered in a low voice.

It is recognized in the team that Kanter is not good at shooting. This guy shoots, most of the time it is relative to helping the opponent to clear the siege.

Then, De Bruyne's eyes widened. He saw the football draw a beautiful arc in the air, which perfectly bypassed the offensive and defensive players in the penalty area, and finally bypassed Chelsea goalkeeper Kool. Tuva's hands, almost sticking to the inside of the column, slammed into the net.

This is... a ball scored? ! ! ! !

The huge new Wembley Stadium was quiet at this moment, and then there were huge cheers and loud noises that burst out like an explosion.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!" Amidst the crazy Goal roar, Kanter stood there, dumbfounded, as if he was also stunned by such a shocking long-range shot by himself.
