Chapter 150 The Extraordinary FA Cup Final
With the curtain of the Premier League falling, Manchester United's schedule for this season has basically come to an end.To be precise, Manchester United has two games left this season, the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.
In fact, for many other teams, the season is over.
剩下的两场决赛，足总杯决赛的时间在格林尼治时间5月21日下午5点半，也就是北京时间的5月22日凌晨零点30分。欧冠决赛却是要晚了差不多一个星期。
After Manchester United's Premier League ended, the whole team focused all their attention on the FA Cup final.
For the FA Cup, a long event with a history of more than 100 years, Manchester United attaches great importance to it.In fact, the FA Cup has extraordinary significance for the English team.Otherwise, just for that little bonus, everyone wouldn't be so flocking to it.
Manchester United has reached the FA Cup final 20 times in history, 12 of which have won the cup, 1 time ahead of second-ranked Arsenal.
Originally, Manchester United was the team that won the most championships in this event, but since Manchester United have not won the championship in the past 11 years, this gave Arsenal a chance to catch up with Manchester United.
In the past 11 years, Arsenal has won the championship twice in 2005 and 2014, thus tying Manchester United in one fell swoop and tied for the team with the most FA Cup wins.
However, Manchester United won the FA Cup again last season, surpassing Arsenal.
而曼联在足总杯的对手水晶宫，这才是他们第二次闯进足总杯决赛。而他们上次进入决赛是在1989-1990赛季，巧合的是当时他们的对手也是曼联。在战成3：3后，曼联在重赛中1：0夺冠。
Whether the FA Cup final can win this time, for Manchester United, the significance of winning is not only to expand the advantage over Arsenal, but also to continue to enjoy the exclusive access to the team that has won the most times in the FA Cup. Create a new history: become the first Grand Slam team in the history of English football to win the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup in one season, that is, the domestic treble.
In the 55 years since the emergence of the League Cup, no team in England has been able to win the top league championship, the FA Cup championship and the League Cup championship at the same time in one season.
And this season, Manchester United hope to create this history.
Last season, Ye Su led Manchester United to win the Europa League, Premier League and FA Cup, the small triple crown, but because of the early exit of the League Cup, this made Manchester United miss the domestic treble.
This season, Manchester United has made a comeback and has already won the League Cup and the Premier League first.Now as long as they win the FA Cup again, they will become the first domestic triple crown in the history of English football and a domestic Grand Slam team in a single season.
………………
The Manchester United team did not go to London in advance, but only set off from the Carrington base at noon on the day of the game, and took the train to London.
Because a week had passed since the last game, and the Champions League final will come a week later, Ye Su didn't hold anything back in this game, and sent the strongest lineup in his hands to play in this game.
Starting 11 people, goalkeeper De Gea, four defenders Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk, Kyle Walker, Kanter, De Bruyne, Mata and Vardy form a diamond four midfielder, Rooney and Harry Kane partnered with a double striker.
On the bench are Romero, Koulibaly, Ashley Young, Carrick, Bruno Fernandez, Martial and Rashford.
The remaining players who did not enter the team's 18-man roster also went to London with the team.If the team wins the championship, they will participate in the championship celebration together.
Since Manchester United won the away game before the game, they wore the away team jersey in white with red stripes in this game.
………………
After the game started, the fighting spirit of the whole Manchester United team was very strong.The referee's opening whistle blew, and the Manchester United team launched a fierce offensive towards the Crystal Palace half.
In the 5th minute, Manchester United attacked the frontcourt. Luke Shaw broke through from the left and cut into the penalty area. Zaha returned to the defense and poked the ball out of the bottom line.
After leaving Manchester United and returning to the Crystal Palace, Zaha, who became the core of the Crystal Palace, has performed well in the past two seasons and is a thigh-level figure in the Crystal Palace.
For Zaha, he is the kind of player who has the ball to be a threat, but in a super giant like Manchester United, it is undoubtedly unrealistic for Zaha to want to control the ball.This made his development at Manchester United very difficult. Whether it was Moyes or Ye Su who took over, he did not get enough opportunities to perform.
Under Moyes, Zaha, who was unable to get playing time, also exposed lace news, saying that the reason why Zaha was unable to play at Manchester United was because he had an affair with Moyes' daughter, which caused Moyes to be furious.
After Ye Su took over Manchester United, the two had no grievances. Later, Zaha expressed his desire to return to Crystal Palace, and Ye Su did not put any obstacles in his way, not even setting up obstacles on the transfer fee.
However, after returning to Crystal Palace, Zaha performed very hard every time he met Manchester United in the game.Although he voluntarily asked to leave Manchester United and return to Crystal Palace, Zaha is still brooding about his nightmare experience at Manchester United, eager to show his ability in front of his old club.
………………
Zaha has the strength, especially for a team in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League like Crystal Palace, he can even become the core of the team, but he wants to lead Crystal Palace against Manchester United on his own, but he is unable to do it.
Under Manchester United's active attack, Crystal Palace was quickly suppressed in their own half, and there were few opportunities to attack the frontcourt.
Manchester United, on the other hand, took advantage of the advantage of controlling the ball to attack Crystal Palace's goal wave after wave.
In 10 minutes, Mata made a through ball from the left. Rashford hesitated when he broke through and shot.
Manchester United immediately took a corner kick, and Maguire headed the ball wide.Maguire's 1.9-meter-four height and strong body give him a great advantage in header competitions.But his header lacks accuracy, so he rarely helps the team score.
However, this cannot conceal the fact that Maguire is a good central defender. After all, for a defensive player, his offensive ability is not the most important, and defense is his job.
Manchester United continued to besiege Crystal Palace. In 15 minutes, Wayne Rooney shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area. The goalkeeper of the Crystal Palace, Welsh goalkeeper Hennessy missed the ball, but his second reaction was very fast. Before Harry Kane made a supplementary shot, he took the first step. Qiuou is under him.
But Manchester United's continuous strong attacks put tremendous pressure on Crystal Palace.The pressure quickly overwhelmed Crystal Palace and allowed United to score.
In the 16th minute, Rooney sent a through pass from the center, and De Bruyne inserted from the left, facing Rooney's pass, the ball crossed a wonderful arc and went straight to the dead corner above the far post.
Although Hennessey made a sideways pounce, but De Bruyne's shot was heading for a dead corner. After all, he was beyond his reach and could only watch the ball fly into the goal behind him.
1:0, De Bruyne helped Manchester United open the scoring and broke the deadlock on the field.
………………
Only 16 minutes into the game, they were scored by Manchester United. This dealt a blow to the Crystal Palace players, and their morale was a bit low for a while.
What Manchester United is best at is chasing and fighting hard. The ideological fluctuations of the Crystal Palace players made Manchester United quickly seize the opportunity again and scored the second goal of the game.
In the 22nd minute, Mata made a sudden shot from the right. Although Crystal Palace goalkeeper Hennessy fell to the ground and barely saved the ball, Hennessy never again powerless.
2: 0!
Manchester United's start is fantastic!
The new Wembley Stadium was in frenzy at this time, and more than 5 Manchester United fans were cheering and celebrating.They knew very well that with the stability of Manchester United under Ye Su's command and the strength of Crystal Palace, there was basically no suspense in this game. The 12th FA Cup championship in the club's history can already be announced!
Crystal Palace is a little confused, Manchester United is strong, they are psychologically prepared, after all, in the league, they were defeated by Manchester United with a score of 2:0 at home and away, and they were double-killed.
But they never expected that today's Manchester United is so strong.Just 20 minutes into the game, they were 2 goals behind.
………………
Manchester United did not relax their attack because of their two-goal lead, on the contrary, they continued to press towards the Crystal Palace goal.
In the 23rd minute, Manchester United got a free kick from the left side of the front court. Rooney took the penalty directly and chose to shoot directly.
Lu Xiaopang's shot was very threatening. The ball went around the top of the wall and fell quickly. It was about to fly into the goal of Crystal Palace. At the critical moment, Hennessey made another wonderful save and jumped up to hold the ball After a while, the ball finally flew out of the bottom line above the crossbar.
Manchester United continued to take corner kicks, and Mata chose to pass the ball directly into the penalty area.Van Dijk grabbed the spot, but he shook his head to attack the goal but was blocked by Crystal Palace midfielder Dienac, blocking the ball out of the baseline.
Crystal Palace's first shot in this field did not come until the 28th minute of the game.
At that time, Manchester United relaxed a little after a strong attack for nearly 10 minutes. Crystal Palace took the opportunity to counterattack. Bolassier kicked a shot from outside the penalty area. Because he played too squarely, he was easily captured by De Gea.
Crystal Palace played a wave of small climaxes and scored consecutive shots.
In the 31st minute, Zaha forcibly broke through Luke Shaw's defense on the right side, and then sent a low pass before Luke Shaw caught up. Wickham hit the goal in the middle, but Van Dijk was very focused. , Bigfoot cleared the opponent's shot.
