I brush achievements in football

I don't know what method Van Gaal used during the intermission. Manchester United still maintained a good fighting spirit in the second half.

They continue to attack constantly, while constantly looking for opportunities.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Van Gaal replaced Martial with Mkhitaryan, who performed mediocrely in the first half, allowing Rooney to play center forward and Mkhitaryan as midfielder.

This substitution brought some new vitality to Manchester United's offense. Mkhitaryan began to keep taking the ball in the midfield, and then created opportunities through breakthroughs. Matic seemed a little difficult to deal with Mkhitaryan. After all, he Compared with Kanter's defensive ability, there is still a certain gap.

The two sides started a crazy confrontation, and Southampton also sensed the danger. After all, if the opponent continues to attack like this, after losing a goal, the situation may change dramatically.

So while defending, they did not stop the pace of counterattack.

The game went to No.607 minutes...

The constantly attacking Manchester United finally created a chance. Rooney, who pulled the wing, relied on his personal ability to sway past Mane and Alonso who were returning to the defense, and then cut into the penalty area. When Matic came to defend, he passed the ball After the pass was passed, Fellaini, who advanced forward, knocked the ball down with his chest first in the penalty area, and Mata, who followed up, shot straight without stopping the ball!

This shot was quite tricky. Gulac stretched his arms in the air. Although he touched the ball, after the ball changed direction slightly, it still plunged into the dead corner of the goal!

Manchester United fans began to shout crazily, they finally saw hope!

From zero to two to one to two, there is indeed hope!

However, just 1 minute later, Southampton extinguished their hopes.

After Mane forced a breakthrough from the wing, he created a corner kick. De Bruyne passed the corner kick into the penalty area. Fellaini took the lead to clear the ball to the other side, but was caught by Cancelo. The Portuguese immediately curved the ball. After the point, De Bruyne, who ran laterally into the penalty area, faced the falling ball and volleyed directly without stopping the ball!

This shot shows De Bruyne's superb basic skills. The arc of Cancelo's cross is obvious, and the ball itself is also spinning at high speed. He shoots directly from a small angle without stopping the ball while running. Within the scope of the door frame, it is not an easy task.

But De Bruyne accurately controlled the landing point of the ball and kicked the ball hard into the dead corner of the goal!

Facing the shot, De Gea only had time to wave his hand.

Three to one, Southampton once again expanded its lead!

"The big game is set... Southampton didn't give United many chances, and they extended their lead to two goals again! Manchester United's effort had just seen hope, but it was dashed in an instant! It is a cruel thing... ..."

Amidst the commentator's sighs, the Southampton players began to celebrate. After this goal, Southampton's FA Cup championship is indeed a sure thing!

Actually it is.

In the following time, Van Gaal replaced Ashley Young and Lingard in succession, but facing Southampton's defense, he always failed to find any opportunities to play. Until stoppage time, the Valencia side Lu forced a breakthrough and passed into the penalty area. Lingard volleyed and scored the ball into the upper left corner of the goal. Manchester United tied the score at two to three.

However, this goal only saved Manchester United a little face.

The final score was three to two.

Southampton won the game with a score that looked heart-pounding!

This is their second title of the season.

When the Southampton team raised the FA Cup trophy high, the entire Wembley Stadium became a sea of ​​joy!

Southampton defeated Manchester United and became the champion of the FA Cup this season!

Now, there is only one game left before the Triple Crown!

Southampton fans started carnival and celebration in London, because in the next few days, Southampton will not return to Southampton, but will continue to stay in London. They borrowed Arsenal's training base, I will train here for two days to maintain my state, and then I will fly to the venue of this Champions Cup.

San Siro San Siro Meazza Stadium in Milan, Italy.

Their opponent in the final is Real Madrid.

This is also the second time that Southampton and Real Madrid have met in the final in three years. In the previous meeting, Southampton defeated Real Madrid, won the first Champions League championship in club history, and also gave Real Madrid its tenth championship. The hope of the cup championship was shattered. Under such circumstances, Real Madrid once again met Southampton in the final. The mentality of Real Madrid fans must also be quite complicated.

After all, compared with Southampton, their history is much more glorious, but they have been suppressed by Southampton in recent years. Eliminated, if they lose to Southampton again this time, they will be directly defeated by Southampton three times in a row in the Champions League, which would be a shame for Real Madrid.

So before the start of the game, the media in Madrid began to build momentum. While declaring the glorious history of Real Madrid, they said that it is impossible for Southampton to win the Champions League three consecutive times. Although they have already defended once, but Defending the championship and three consecutive championships are two different things. Only three teams have achieved a great feat in history. It is difficult for Southampton to repeat at this stage...

On the surface, what they said is quite reasonable. For example, Real Madrid's five consecutive championships, and the subsequent three consecutive championships of Ajax and Bayern are all products of special times, and the importance of the Champions League is becoming more and more prominent After that, the defending Champions Cup was very difficult, and the three consecutive championships never appeared again. Liverpool, the Red Army that swept Europe back then, was really awesome, but so what?They won the championship four times in five years, and they were abruptly interrupted once in the middle...

In short, it is all kinds of momentum, trying to use metaphysics to put pressure on Southampton, so that they can get extra psychological pressure.

"Psychological pressure? No, I think Real Madrid should have some psychological pressure when facing me." Ji Ya said with a smile when he attended the press conference after arriving in Milan.

The Southampton fans at the scene laughed one after another. Indeed, Southampton won the previous final and two semi-finals. This season, they met Real Madrid in the group stage, and the two sides ended both games. Zero to zero, but the consecutive games can't be used as a big reference. At that time, we should keep our strength.

And Southampton's good performance this season is better than Real Madrid. Real Madrid is one point behind Barcelona and only won the runner-up in La Liga. They were eliminated early in the Copa del Rey—from this From a point of view, they were lucky, otherwise if they won the runner-up in the King's Cup, they might encounter the king of Sanya...
