Chapter 465 FA Cup Final(2/2)

Everything that should be done is done, but others don’t understand it and there is no way.

They can say whatever they like!

The most important task at present is to lead the team to the next two finals, and the final battle between the FA Cup and Portsmouth is imminent.

The FA Cup final was held at the New Wembley Stadium.

In February, Manchester City just won the League Cup championship. Many fans felt that they had just arrived. Before the aftermath of the championship was over, the team came here to compete for the championship again.

However, Manchester City fans will not dislike the many championships!

For three years, every time Manchester City came to this stadium, it would take away a championship.

From the League Cup to the Community Shield, from the Community Shield to the FA Cup, from the FA Cup to the Community Shield, from the Community Shield to the League Cup... Now it's the FA Cup again. In three seasons, Manchester City has taken away two League Cups, one FA Cup and two Community Shields from here.

Manchester City is now competing for the second FA Cup!

The competitor is Portsmouth.

Portsmouth?

Just a mid-range Premier League team.

The moment Manchester City entered the finals, Manchester City fans were already convinced that the team would definitely win the FA Cup.

Before the FA Cup finals, there was no spark between the coaches, players, and media, and public opinion was dull.

That kind of dullness and even a little weird.

It's like this is not a FA Cup final, but a normal league game.

There is nothing to be hostile to both sides.

The last time the two teams met in the league, there was a lot of news from outside, but the two teams were friendly with each other.

It is the FA Cup final now, and both sides have to fight for the championship, but in fact, there are no other conflicts between the teams.

The head coaches of both sides also boosted morale and hoped to play in the best form. The dullness before the game makes people feel that the game will be very dull.

But in fact, this is not the case.

Wan Sheng didn't want to say anything to Redknapdo, but he was still very cautious about the game.

Redknapp is a famous coach in England. There is nothing surprising about his leadership of the team. The key point is the word "stability".

As an old coach in his sixties, Redknapp has rich coaching experience without saying much. Since taking over Portsmouth, Portsmouth's performance has steadily improved.

In the middle of the 2005-2006 season, Portsmouth encountered high-level turmoil and had a poor performance. He even ranked last in the league at Christmas. However, after Redknapp added personnel in the winter, he finally led the team to almost escape the bad luck of relegation with the score of 17th.

Last season, Portsmouth won the 10th place in the Premier League, the team's highest ranking since the 1950s.

This season, Portsmouth, led by Redknapp, has achieved very stable results. They rank tenth in the league and have been unable to compete for European competitions with their league results, but they reached the FA Cup final, ensuring that they can participate in the UEFA Cup next season.

It sounds like Redknapp led the team to the 10th in the league, but in fact, as a small Premier League club, it is quite good to achieve this result.

The competition in the Premier League is the most intense.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, all have the most gorgeous lineups in Europe.

There are traditional strong teams such as Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa. The lineups of these traditional strong teams are also gorgeous. For example, Newcastle United, in recent seasons, they have invested tens of millions of pounds in the transfer market, which is enough to compete with other league giants.

Because Premier League clubs have made great profits in television broadcasting rights and commercial operations, sometimes some small clubs will jump out to play the role of dark horses, such as Reading last season, Wigan Athletics last season, Blackburn this season, etc.

The fierce competition in the Premier League can be imagined.

In this cruel competitive environment, as a small club that relies on buying cheap stars to survive, it is already quite amazing to be able to stabilize its performance in the middle of the Premier League without the danger of relegation, and to lead the team to the FA Cup final.
