Chapter 1,158: Unexpected Changes

"Hello everyone in front of the TV! Welcome to today's game. I am Morris, and the person sitting next to me is Raman."

"Today's game is the English FA Cup final, Manchester United faces Manchester City at home!"

"English football has been abuzz recently, with many things happening frequently both on and off the field. Ferguson's illness has affected the whole world, putting all grudges on the field aside for the time being. The Premier League team's head coach replacement and contract renewal issues have also been ongoing. In the meantime, while Arsenal and Emery were flirting with each other, Manchester City had already completed a contract extension with Guardiola in advance, which was a snap. It is said that Conte and Chelsea are also on the verge of breaking up."

"As time goes by, this season seems to be over, and all the games seem to be gone. But that's not the case. At least for English fans, there is still an FA Cup final to play; for the entire European football world For now, there is still the most important finale, the Champions League final, to be played!"

"The two sides in this game are the two teams of Manchester City. They met again in the final. Looking back a year ago, it was also in the FA Cup final. The same two opponents met again this season. But last season Manchester City The situation of the city's two heroes competing for the championship on the four fronts is different this year. Manchester United is still strong and has come to the end on all fronts. However, Manchester City's state continues to be ups and downs this season. They have lost hope of competing for the championship together. It’s the FA Cup final today.”

"One wants to win the FA Cup final and get the only championship and hope this season; the other wants to continue the legendary performance and move towards the third seven-time crown. Let us wait and see what the outcome of this game will be! "

"Now that the players have entered the field, this game seems to be a bit special. The host at Old Trafford proposed that everyone stand up and applaud to express blessings to Sir Alex Ferguson, who is fighting the disease, and wish him a speedy recovery! This What a heart-warming gesture. Even our local rivals Manchester City showed enough respect."

"The game is about to start, let's take a look at the lineups and players lined up by both sides today."

"In this game, Guardiola still deployed a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is Ederson; the four defenders are Danilo, Stones, Kompany and Kyle Walker; the three midfielders It's Pogba, seats D and B; the three forwards are Sterling, Aguero and Jesus. The seven substitutes are: Bravo, Otamendi, Laporte, Fernand Dinho, Phil Foden, Delph, Gundogan.”

"This lineup can be said to be the best lineup prepared by Guardiola. The only regret is that due to the avoidance principle, Mahrez cannot appear. The biggest change in Manchester City's starting lineup today is the change in the selection of the midfielder position. In In the previous games, Fernandinho had always played in the defensive midfielder. However, it was said that Fernandinho was slightly injured before the game, so Guardiola made adjustments. However, he let Pogba appear in the defensive midfielder. It’s really surprising given the location.”

"One of the reasons for Manchester City's ups and downs this season is the conflict between Guardiola and Pogba. Pogba's characteristics of being free and undisciplined and not liking to defend made Guardiola very dissatisfied with him, and the two were once incompatible. But with Pogba's apology, the relationship between the two has been eased, and Pogba has also gotten a lot of playing opportunities recently. However, in this game Pogba was directly placed in the midfielder position. I don't know if he can To shoulder the responsibility of Manchester City’s defense?”

"On Manchester United's side, Kim Tiger still arranged a 4-3-3 formation: the goalkeeper is Romero; the defense is Maguire and Bailly as a central defender, and Mendy and Valencia are on the left and right; the midfielder is It's Kante, Carrick and Lingard; the two wingers Sane and Mbappe are on the left and the right; the center position is Alli.

The substitutes are De Gea, Jones, Kimmich, Nainggolan, De Bruyne, Salah and Griezmann. "

"Jin Taige made a wide range of rotations in this game, which surprised us. Especially the defenders, goalkeepers and four defenders were all replaced by substitute players. This style of play can't help but make people think. : Is it that Kim Tiger is very confident in his substitute lineup and is very sure to win against Manchester City? Or is Kim Tiger not too concerned about this game and will focus on the Champions League final?"

"No matter what, both teams have made great changes in this game. Let's wait and see who will win the final championship trophy."

"The referee blows the whistle and the game begins!"

"Manchester United took the lead in the first half! Sane and Mbappe simply passed the ball in the midfield, and the ball was handed to Carrick! In this game, Manchester United's old captain Carrick started. If you count the Champions League final, then Today's game will be the penultimate game of Carrick's career. At the beginning of the season, Carrick announced his retirement at the end of the season, and the chances of us seeing Carrick on the field are getting less and less."

"Carrick suddenly made a long pass! The ball came to the right side of the penalty area! Mbappe jumped in at high speed and caught the ball!"

"Suddenly cut inside and got rid of Kyle Walker! He shot straight away! The ball was saved by Ederson!"

"Who does this action remind us of? Yes, it's Robben! This offense and defense are almost the same as Robben's!"

"Just now, Mbappe went from dribbling the ball along the wing to suddenly cutting inside. This is exactly Robben's cutting routine! Although the final shot angle and power were slightly inferior and was saved, Mbappe was able to It’s not easy to make such coherent and smooth movements.”

"In addition to this shot, Carrick's pass just now was also just right! He accurately found Mbappe on the right and calculated the lead time in advance. This pass was accurate to within a millimeter!"

"Only one minute into the game, Manchester United made an extremely dangerous attack. It seems that Manchester United is still in excellent condition today!"

"Although Mbappe's shot was saved, Manchester United still had a chance for a corner kick. Manchester United players rushed into the penalty area, looking for header opportunities. Even the tall Maguire came forward, and he is a good header for Manchester United. "

"Manchester United's corner kick, this time it was Carrick who took the penalty! The ball reached the backcourt and Maguire stepped in from behind and headed the ball towards the goal! The ball hit the crossbar hard! What a good opportunity for Manchester United! what a shame!"

"The ball bounced outside the penalty area, and Pogba got the ball!"

"Now several fast players in Manchester City are telling them to come in. Sterling, Aguero and Jesus opened the door and rushed towards Manchester United's half! This time Manchester United is in danger!"

"Will Manchester City's attack translate into goals?"
