In this way, the FA Cup final will be a showdown between Southampton and Manchester United.

In the 2010-2011 season, Manchester United was definitely the strongest player in the Premier League. Manchester United has basically locked in the top spot in the current Premier League standings.

Moreover, in the Champions League, Manchester United also won the first leg of the semi-finals against Schalke 04 at home, which was equivalent to having one foot in the Champions League finals.

Therefore, the Manchester United that Southampton will challenge is almost the king Manchester United at its peak.

The game against Manchester United is also the final game of the season for Southampton Club!

On Wednesday, April 4, the 20nd round of the English League One began. Southampton faced Bristol Rovers at home.

In this game, all Southampton's main players took turns.

In the end, Southampton unfortunately lost the game 2:3, but Ward-Prowse and Aaron Martin performed more eye-catchingly.

Gu Ran started in this game, and Southampton sent half of the main players.

Under the leadership of Gu Ran, Southampton defeated Yeovil Town 7-0.

Southampton continues to face Dagenham at home on Saturday, April 4th.

On Saturday, May 5, Southampton challenged Exeter City away from home. This was also the last game of the English League One season.

Southampton has sent out most of its main players in order to maintain a competitive state in order to compete with Manchester United for the FA Cup championship next Saturday.

In the end, Southampton defeated Exeter City 4:1 in the away game. Gu Ran was tackled by the Exeter City players who counterattacked wildly in the second half, scaring Coach Adkins in the 65th minute. Gu Ran was replaced and took a rest.

After this game, Southampton only has one FA Cup final left this season.

Last season, Southampton was still a mid-table team in League One, but this season, after half the season, Southampton has secured its status as League One champion, and won the English League Cup and English Championship. Now it is still There is a chance to compete with the king Manchester United for the FA Cup championship.

This is a result that neither the Southampton club's senior management nor the fans could have imagined.

In other words, even if Southampton lost to Manchester United in the last FA Cup final, there would be no regrets from top to bottom in the club.

After all, Manchester United's strength is obvious.

There is no shame in losing to a strong enemy.

The atmosphere in the Southampton team is still very relaxed, without any psychological pressure.

As for Manchester United, although they were very happy when they learned that Southampton had upset Liverpool and thought that the FA Cup championship was within their reach, in fact, Manchester United's pressure was far greater than that of Southampton. The meal is much bigger!

So far, Manchester United still needs to fight on two fronts.

The first is the Premier League. The suspense of the Premier League championship has remained until the last two rounds. Manchester United's enemies in the last two rounds are firstly the current second-placed Premier League champion Chelsea, and the other is a team that strongly needs 3 Points to avoid relegation Blackpool.

Needless to say, Chelsea is a strong team, and Chelsea is currently only 5 points behind Manchester United in the Premier League standings. If Chelsea wins Manchester United at home, and then Manchester United loses to the relegation team Blackpool, then Manchester United's Premier League championship will disappear. .

Can Chelsea beat Manchester United? there must be. The relegation team Blackpool is equally terrible.

The mentality of the relegation team is more than ten times stronger than the mentality of the championship team.

Especially at the critical moment at the end of the season, if you try your best to score three points, you can stay in the Premier League and continue to enjoy the Premier League's shares and benefits without having to cut benefits or even be forced to transfer due to relegation. Blackpool must be Be desperate.

Therefore, Manchester United will never dare to take it lightly at the end of the season and give up the league championship to Chelsea.

In the Champions League, the semi-finals require two rounds.

Manchester United defeated the tenacious Bundesliga team Schalke 04 at home in the first leg of the semi-finals, but the goal difference advantage was not obvious.

On the third day after the FA Cup match, Manchester United had to fly to Germany to play the second round with Schalke 04.

The intensity of the second round of the game is bound to be much greater than that of the first round.

Therefore, Manchester United's focus must be tilted towards the Champions League semi-finals.

Are FA Cup games important?

important.

Is it high in gold content?

high.

However, compared with the Premier League champion and the Champions League champion, the gold content of the FA Cup is really not that high.

Therefore, it seems that Southampton has no hope in the FA Cup finals, but the actual situation is that Manchester United is under much greater pressure than Southampton.

During this period of time, Coach Adkins also led the Southampton players to relax training by playing games while giving targeted tactical lessons to the players.

The Southampton team was focused on nothing else and had spent more than half a month preparing for this game against Manchester United.

On Friday, May 5, the Southampton team took their own bus and headed to the five-star hotel in Wembley that they had booked long ago.

That afternoon, the Southampton team held closed training at Wembley Stadium.

The head coaches of both sides also held a press conference.

Manchester United's head coach "Hairdryer" Ferguson greatly appreciated the miraculous results achieved by Coach Adkins at Southampton. At the same time, Ferguson also said that he had been paying attention to the performance of super star Gu Ran and said that Manchester United has done a good job. Be prepared to buy Gu Ran at all costs.

Coach Adkins once again emphasized that Gu Ran was not for sale and said that the Southampton team was fully prepared for this game. Please look forward to Gu Ran's wonderful performance on the court.

The next day, Saturday, May 5, early in the morning, Gu Ran got up early and practiced silently in the dedicated VIP gym.
