A week after the Premier League ended, the FA Cup finals arrived.

August 2.

Manchester United meets Arsenal at the New Wembley Stadium.

The stadium stands were still empty, and the FA covered the seats with huge FA Cup logos in the stands, giving the final a slightly stronger sense of ceremony.

Mourinho has not had a good time in the past week.

He had long been accustomed to the fleet street.

But the news from Mendez made him feel a little confused about what Sandezi was doing.

Isn’t I worth the annual salary of £18 million?

After Ferguson, the coach who brought the most trophys, should the club use a richer long-term contract to lock him in and establish a red dynasty?

Mourinho used to think that Sandezi was an outsider, but now he thinks that the other party knows nothing.

Even if the requirement for a salary increase and renewal was not smooth, Mourinho was not in a hurry.

He believes Manchester United will eventually compromise.

It seems that Pogba and De Gea thought so last year.

In the hot summer, Ye Yifeng is full of fighting spirit and has a grand goal.

Returning to the ranks of super giants, he couldn't wait to plunder more honors and trophies.

The starters of both teams made their debut.

The FA Cup has another chic name over the past decade: Thermos.

Whenever Wenger encounters a crisis of being dismissed, Wenger can lead Arsenal to win the FA Cup to alleviate the crisis.

Wenger is gone, and Arsenal has entered the FA Cup final again. Even though this does not concern Arteta's future as a coach, it is also confusing. Perhaps Arsenal has a close relationship with the FA Cup.

Arteta led the team with average results, but for the first time as the head coach, he was naturally extremely solemn, hoping to defeat Manchester United and win an honor, which would make Arsenal fans more patient and confident in him.

As the defending champion, Manchester United hopes to win the local triple crown today!

Completely conquer Britain!

Manchester United starts 433.

Goalkeeper: De Gea.

Defenders: Wanbisaka, Maguire, Lindelof, Luke Shaw.

Midfielder: Fred, B Fee, McTominay.

Forwards: Greenwood, Ye Yifeng, Rashford.

Arsenal starts 343.

Goalkeeper: Martinez.

Defenders: Holding, David Louis, Tierney.

Midfielders: Bellerin, Ceballos, Zachar, Niles.

Forwards: Pepe, Lacazette, Aubameyang.

The referee whistle sounded.

The FA Cup final begins.

Arsenal focuses on defensive counterattacks, while Manchester United is a little cautious in offense.

He was seriously injured in March and returned in June. Now it is August.

Ye Yifeng felt that his state had obvious qualitative changes in the recovery stage.

But he did not restore his past game style, but continued his previous pseudo-center-shot style.

Arsenal's two defensive players in the middle, Ceballos and Zacha, put him in a very limited pressure.

But what Arsenal is smart about is that they have three defenders, and two wing players are full-backs when defending.

It can be said to be a system of 5 defenders.

In the 4th minute of the game, Ye Yifeng received a pass from B Fei at the front of the penalty area and then dribbled directly and retreated.

Sebalos and Zacha rushed over and retreated from both sides of him. After retreating, they stopped quickly and turned around.

Ye Yifeng suddenly changed direction and headed to the left side of the steering wheel.

Manchester United teammates are gradually familiar with Ye Yifeng's playing style and know what he wants to do.

So Rashford quickly ran and cut inside, and Bellerin followed the defense back into the penalty area.

The sidewalk is completely empty.

Luke Xiao assisted.

Ye Yifeng passed the ball, turned around and cut inside the penalty area after getting the ball.

Luke Xiao made a cross from the bottom, and Tierney headed the ball after the penalty area.

Arsenal had some trouble with the counterattack.

Because there are few people in front of the penalty area to complete the offensive and defensive conversion.

Although Aubameyang retreated to the backcourt to possess the ball, the pressure of pinched attacks and pressing from Fred and Greenwood forced him to pass the ball quickly to find Pepe who was running towards the frontcourt.

Lindelof controlled the football landing point in the backcourt and Manchester United reorganized the offensive.

Arsenal's tight defense in the penalty area forced Ye Yifeng to change his idea of ​​sending threatening balls into the penalty area.

In the 8th minute of the game, when he dribbled from the front of the penalty area to the side again, Ye Yifeng saw Greenwood's inward cut, and Arsenal players also saw it.

It's still the same way, retreating and blocking the goal.

Ye Yifeng knocked the ball back to the top of the penalty area with his heels.

B Fei's front shot and kicked the ball.

The fight was a bit positive.

Martinez saved the ball.

Arteta was as deep as water on the sidelines.

In the semi-finals, his Arsenal punched the master to death, and Guardiola never dreamed that he was eliminated by his half-bucket of water.

Moreover, the opponent did not use his ancestral transmission and control tactics, but instead defended and counterattacked!

What a rebellious disciple!

Mourinho also felt a lot of emotion when he saw Arteta's Arsenal playing defensively.

If you want to learn to defend and counterattack, why bother to become a disciple of Guatu?

Come to me and study art for two years, and you will be sure to debut with the halo of Magic Bird II.

Arsenal's defensive counterattack is very routine, and the number of defenders is accumulated to compress space.

Simply put, it is an entry-level, but it may not be equipped with stronger tactical changes.

Whether a threat can be made depends entirely on the personal threat of the Trident.

Whether it can be prevented depends on whether there are loopholes in the human sea tactical compression space.

Manchester United's frontcourt offense is looking for the best way to increase the threat, while defense relies more on the sweeps of McTominay and Fred.

It is hard to expect the back line to be in such a situation. After all, Arsenal's trident is very fast and has room for impact.

Therefore, the core of defense is to cut off Arsenal's offensive and defensive transitions.

Manchester United has done a good job since the start of the game.

This is also the reason why Mourinho did not join Pogba.

Pogba is indeed not as hard-working as other defensive midfielders in the sweeping work.

Ye Yifeng focused on the offensive end, and the incisive threat of Rashford and Greenwood, the two British stars, can suppress Arsenal's defense for a longer time and hide in the penalty area.

Sebalos and Zacha were all focused on Ye Yifeng, B Fei and McTomina, and even Luke Shaw were able to keep trying long shots.

But today their long shots never won.

When the game came 32 minutes, Ye Yifeng, who was once again responding with his back in front of the penalty area, made a move to pass the ball to Mike Tomina who was inserted behind him.

Zach came to force Ye Yifeng, but Sebalos went to block McDonald's line ahead of time.

Both of them seemed to have become accustomed to Ye Yifeng using various postures to create threats on the periphery to create opportunities for his teammates.

But the next second both of them were stunned.

Ye Yifeng's foot suddenly changed his movements, pulled the ball behind and turned around and rushed into the penalty area.

Cruyff turned around!

The two were instantly removed, and the defenders in the Arsenal penalty area were also a little at a loss!
