Chapter 147 Is it because I'm not standing tall enough?
After receiving another "guarantee" from Shen Xiao, Robbins returned to the coaching bench beside the court with satisfaction.
At the other end of Wembley Stadium, Guardiola and his disciples were still exchanging the team's tactics with great energy.
The high energy of the Manchester City players today seems to have swept away the "gloom" of the previous period.
The Manchester City fans and reporters at the scene were very "surprised" to see the current Manchester City coach and players.
Because according to media reports some time ago, the Manchester City team is currently in a "precarious situation."
Therefore, even the commentator in the TV broadcast room was surprised by the state of the Manchester City team today.
They just thought that Guardiola might want to leave a championship to the team before leaving next season.
Time flies very quickly, and it is gradually coming to the time of the competition.
At this time, Wembley Stadium was filled with fans, and there was a lot of noise in the fan zone.
On the big screen above the stadium, the starting lineups of the two teams slowly appeared.
Manchester City FC.
Formation:4231
Forward:Jesus
Midfielder: Sterling, De Bruyne (C), B Silva
Gundogan, Fernandinho
Defenders: Zinchenko, Stones, Otamendi, Kyle Walker
Goalkeeper: Bravo
When Manchester City's starting lineup appeared on the big screen, Wembley Stadium burst into cheers and applause.
The next thing that appeared on the big screen was Coventry's starting lineup.
Coventry team.
Formation:442
Forward: Shen Xiao (C), Billy
Midfielder: Jones, O'Hare, Joe Bello, Kelly
Defenders: Ross, Mason, Dabo, Mike
Goalkeeper: Maurosi
When Coventry's starting lineup appeared on the big screen, on the other side of Wembley Stadium, Coventry fans from afar also cheered.
Slowly, under the organization and coordination of the head referee and the third referee, the two teams Coventry and Manchester City slowly came to the court.
At this time, the players from both sides had already changed their jerseys for the game, and then all stood in their own positions.
As captains of their respective teams, Shen Xiao and De Bruyne shook hands in a friendly manner after exchanging team flags.
"Shen Xiao, I know you!"
"I saw your short game video on my phone!"
"You are really good! But I promised my coach that we must win this game!"
"So, I'm sorry, the championship must be ours!"
I don't know if it was because of the focus of the flash, but De Bruyne still had a smile on his face when talking to Shen Xiao.
"Ding Ding, I know you too!"
"You are a very good attacking midfielder in world football. I admire and like your dribbling and passing very much!"
"But unfortunately, I also promised my coach that I must win this game and win the final championship!"
At this time, Shen Xiao also answered De Bruyne very politely.
"Okay then, Shen Xiao!"
"Haha, being confident doesn't mean you don't know your own abilities!"
"Don't think that just because you have won a few Premier League teams and won the English League One championship, you feel that you are number one in the world."
"Let's wait and see. In this game, our Manchester City team will definitely go all out!"
After De Bruyne finished speaking, he made a simple hug with Shen Xiao.
"Haha, I'm sorry, my goal is really to be number one in the world!"
"My competitors not only include you on the scene, but also the superstars in the entire world of football!"
"Is it because I haven't gotten your respect all this time because I don't stand high enough now?"
Shen Xiao said directly in De Bruyne's ear the moment they hugged each other and separated.
"snort!"
"Arrogant!"
De Bruyne said softly, and then returned to his team.
But once again being "scorned" by Premier League players, Shen Xiao suddenly felt the importance of breaking out of the circle.
The same football ability, but the concept of "Shen Xiao" in English League One and the "Shen Xiao" of Real Madrid in the future are completely different.
At this time, Shen Xiao was looking forward to the next meeting with Mendes more and more.
"Beep!"
After a while, the referee blew the whistle for the FA Cup final.
Because during this period, the competitions in all major leagues have gradually come to an end.
Therefore, this FA Cup final match is still broadcast by many TV organizations around the world.
When Shen Xiao occasionally looked up, he could sometimes hear the sound of the TV station's helicopter flying over the stadium.
In this game, Manchester City kicked off first.
When Jesus kicked the ball out and passed it to attacking midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, this highly anticipated FA Cup final officially began.
After De Bruyne received a pass from Jesus, he took the ball directly towards Coventry's penalty area.
As a world-class attacking midfielder, De Bruyne not only has high passing accuracy, but as the "engine" of the frontcourt attack, his breakthrough is also very powerful.
Erqi Er, who is also a world-class attacking midfielder, is much inferior. Apart from a beautiful pass, he has no other highlights.
Therefore, after receiving the ball at this time, De Bruyne went directly towards the middle of the court to kill.
Manchester City's two wingers, Sterling and Silva, have long been ambushing the two wings in front.
After De Bruyne successfully passed through the joint defense of Billy and Joe Bello, his dribbling position was getting closer and closer to the penalty area line.
But in front of the penalty area, De Bruyne encountered a stronger defense from Coventry.
Facing the opponent's fierce defense, De Bruyne had to pass the ball out.
At this time, De Bruyne has two points where he can pass the ball, and that is forward Jesus and forward B Silva.
Because at this moment he believes that at this location, they have lost the distance for long-distance breakthroughs, so Sterling, a "track and field athlete", is not among De Bruyne's passing candidates for the time being.
Therefore, in the blink of an eye, De Bruyne has already thought clearly about passing the ball to B Silva, who is in a better position.
B Silva is affectionately called "B Seat" by fans because of his versatility in the midfield.
Seat B is the "happy trouble" of Manchester City and Portugal coaches, because he can be both an organizer in the midfield and a breakthrough player on the wing.
With midfield masters like De Bruyne and David Silva, B Silva can still have a place in the team, which really shows its value.
Therefore, De Bruyne passed the ball to seat B without hesitation at this time.
B Silva is a left-footed player, so he immediately chose to cut inside when he was on the right.
Coventry center backs Ross and Mason, who had already experienced the "big storm" in the game, successfully defended the inward movement of seat B.
However, B Silva did not give up the breakthrough because of the entanglement of the opponent's defender. After taking a look at the penalty area in front, B Silva quickly raised the ball high with his left foot.
Seat B used a QW method to pick the ball directly into Coventry's penalty area.
The football drew a beautiful parabola. In an instant, only the football passed the bodies of Mason and Rose, and then accurately landed at the feet of Jesus in the penalty area.
After Jesus paused the football for a moment, he fired furiously in the direction of the goal!
The football flies towards the goal with great force!
The direction of Jesus' kick is very positive, but the power is very huge.
When Maurosi saw the football coming, he quickly watched the ball attentively, and then blocked the ball with his fists without any hesitation.
Corner kick!
B. Silva immediately ran towards the corner kick. After fiddling with the corner flagpole, he eagerly asked for the football from the ball boy on the side of the court.
However, taking advantage of the corner kick, Coventry's players quickly returned to the penalty area, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
