Chapter 837 Can't lose the final!
"Wayne Rooney!!!!!!"

Amidst the crazy roars of the narrators! !
After scoring the goal, Rooney slammed the team emblem on his chest! !

He was standing at the corner flag area of ​​the stadium, where Manchester United fans gather! ! ! !
Manchester United players are coming! ! !

In Wembley Stadium, the cheers of Manchester United fans resounded through the audience! ! !

The audience was chanting Rooney's name!
England's top scorer! !
In the League Cup, he broke the goal of his rival in the same city and helped the team lead Manchester City [-]-[-]! ! !
If it was in the past, when Manchester City was still Manchester United's noisy neighbors, Manchester United's lead over Manchester City did not seem to be too much to boast about!
But now it's different, Manchester City is no longer Manchester United's noisy neighbor, but Manchester United's strongest competitor! !

In the past two seasons, Manchester United has been completely suppressed by Manchester City! !
Especially this season! !

Manchester United's 26-game winning streak has terrified all opponents in the league.

Although this is only the League Cup, facing Manchester City, who is playing with all the main players, to be honest, in this league, there is no opponent who does not have weak feet.

Even Manchester United, why not in the opening stage.

Fortunately, De Gea's wonderful performance helped Manchester United gain a firm foothold. At the same time, Manchester United's players also regained their confidence! !

And Rooney's goal completely ignited the hope of victory for Manchester United players! !
So what about a 26-game winning streak! ! !

It's the final! !
A decisive final! !

As long as Manchester United win! !
Then you can take the lead in winning the first important trophy of the season.

Although, Manchester City has already won three trophies this season.

Community Shield, European Super Cup, Club World Cup!

However, among the three trophies, the first two are actually warm-up matches, and the opponent in the latter one is really not worth mentioning.

What can compete with European football is South American football, but the poor league organization in South America makes it difficult for their clubs to have any strong teams. Most of the players in the strong football teams in South America play in the European league.

From the perspective of football leagues, Europe is a well-deserved football center!
Even in Brazil, the kingdom of football, their football league is far from being comparable to the five major European leagues.

The strongest clubs are often found in Europe.

Therefore, the Champions League champion wins the Club World Cup, which is the script most of the time.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Manchester City won the Club World Cup.

These three championship trophies are actually not as valuable as the League Cup.

For Manchester United, they defeated Manchester City in the League Cup final and won their first important championship trophy this season!
This is of great significance to this brand new Manchester United team and Guardiola who built this team!
Therefore, it is no wonder that the Manchester United players were so excited after the goal. Even De Gea, who was standing on the goal line, clenched his fists and shouted! !
On the sidelines, Guardiola did the same.

He hasn't thought about the trophy yet, after all, the game is not over yet! !

But this goal is indeed of great significance to the whole game.

Manchester City are strong!

Very strong!
Guardiola admits this.

He admires Gao Bo very much. There is no doubt that Gao Bo has created a super strong team. The strength of this team is not inferior to that of Guardiola's Barcelona at its peak!

Perhaps, the current Manchester United is indeed at a disadvantage in terms of strength.

But the final is only one game! !
If you only consider it from one game, Manchester United undoubtedly has a chance to win the game!
Especially in the case of an advanced goal!
Now the confidence of the Manchester United players is fully revealed!

This goal made the Manchester United players burst with confidence!
Their previous fear of Manchester City has basically disappeared!

Moreover, this is the League Cup final!
To score first in the final is a major blow to the side that lost the ball! !
After all, such an important game is stressful for anyone! !

The pressure has an impact on Manchester United, and Guardiola also believes that Manchester City's players are not robots! !
Their mentality will also be affected by this conceded goal! !
Now that Manchester United has the advantage in the score, this is the best opportunity for Manchester United!
If you can grab a championship trophy from the peak Manchester City!
Such significance cannot be overemphasized no matter how important it is! !
Behind Guardiola!

Manchester United's coaching staff is also rejoicing! !
Although they were very passive most of the time in the first half, it was Manchester United who scored first! !
In stark contrast to Manchester United's side is the Manchester City coaching bench on the other side.

The members of the coaching team frowned.

To say that Manchester City played poorly in the first half is not necessarily the case.

In the first half of the game, Manchester City created far more opportunities, even absolute scoring opportunities, than Manchester United.

However, it is not Manchester City who scored the first goal now.

All of this is just because the opponent's goalkeeper broke out!

If you lose the game because of this, and lose the Champion of the League Cup. This is really too embarrassing! !

Gao Bo also felt aggrieved.

This is normal and happens to everyone.

But Gao Bo is the head coach of the team after all.

Therefore, he knew that no matter how aggrieved he was, he could not show frustration or disappointment.

After all, it's not because I'm not performing well, but because the opponent's goalkeeper has exploded! !
In this case, the most taboo thing is to mess yourself up! !

Gao Bo's face was neither sad nor happy.

He made a gesture of pressing his hands down from the sidelines, and then pulled Trippier, who was closest to him, over.

"Tell everyone!! Stabilize your ground first!! It's only one goal behind!!"

The confidence in Gao Bo's words reassured the players.

For Manchester City, the head coach on the sidelines is their backbone no matter what time it is! !

Soon, the scene also began to calm down! !
At the last moment of the first half, Manchester City launched a tidal attack! !
For Manchester City, it would be great if they could equalize before the end of the first half.

However, in the end Manchester City failed to do this! !

As soon as the 1-minute stoppage time in the first half passed, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.

At that time, Manchester City was still holding the ball in the frontcourt, and even Griezmann was ready to shoot!
However, when the referee blew his whistle, the first half was over.

This made Manchester City a little dissatisfied.

"This should at least get us through this offense!!!"

Assistant coach Moya ran to the referee and protested loudly, and he was shown a yellow card.

And Gao Bo has already left the sidelines and returned to the locker room.

For Gao Bo, the 15 minutes of the intermission is very critical! !
This is the crucial 15 minutes that determines whether the team can finally win the League Cup championship trophy!

There is 45 minute left in the game!
Within 45 minutes, Manchester City not only had to equalize, but also to overtake as much as possible! !
To complete this task, it is not easy to say, but if it is difficult, it is not too difficult for Manchester City.

at this time!
In every bar in Manchester, every Manchester person who is paying attention to this game can clearly see their colors from their expressions.

The red Manchester United man had excitement on his face, but also a trace of nervousness.

After all, this is only the end of the first half. There are 45 minutes left in the game, and it is not yet time to fully celebrate.

45 minutes, so much can happen!

As for the blue Manchester City man, his face was a bit serious.

Being behind at half-time is certainly not the end of the world, but it is definitely not a good thing.

This game may be very difficult for Manchester City!

This night, the whole of Manchester is paying attention to this game!
The battle between red and blue is going on at Wembley Stadium.

The audience on both sides was mostly concentrated in Manchester.

On the screen of the TV broadcast, the camera locked on the players of both sides.

The commentator's voice came from the TV.

"The end of the first half!! Thanks to captain Wayne Rooney's goal, Manchester United led Manchester City [-]-[-] at Wembley Stadium!!! They entered the dressing room at halftime with a one-goal lead, and for Manchester City, this League Cup final may be an extremely difficult game for them! This game will even let Manchester City taste their first defeat of the season!!! Because, look at the determination on the faces of Manchester United players!!"

Letkinson said.

"If they lose this game, it will undoubtedly be an absolute pity for Manchester City, which has been in such a good state recently. They won dozens of games, but lost in the crucial final. For Gao Bo, he will not let this happen!"

Redknapp added.

And far away in China.

Duan Xuan's voice was also heard on CCTV's screen.

"With Wayne Rooney's goal, Manchester United led Manchester City [-]-[-] in the first half. But if we watch the game in the first half, it is easy to draw a conclusion that the team that performed better in the first half was Manchester City. Whether it is the number of shots, the number of shots, the number of absolute opportunities obtained, and even the possession rate, the number of passes, the number of dribbles, etc., Manchester City has the absolute upper hand!"

"However, football games often have such a situation, the team that performed better did not score. With De Gea's superb performance, Manchester United kept their innocence in the first half. Fortunately, they also scored a goal!! If this score continues, Manchester United may even have a chance to become the first team to beat Manchester City this season!!!"

"Guardiola may also be looking forward to a career victory against Kobo!!"

When Duan Xuan was speaking, the camera swept across the stands.

Manchester United fans are cheering.

And the fans of Manchester City will not be depressed.

Manchester City fell behind by one goal, but they had the absolute upper hand!
This made Manchester City fans full of expectations for the second half.

At this time, on the Internet, most of the fans' comments on this game are also focused on De Gea.

In this game, De Gea's performance in the first half was really outstanding.

A goalkeeper frequently steals the spotlight, and I don't know if it is a good thing for a team.

locker room.

Gao Bo stood in front of the tactical board.

This tactical board is still the same as it was before the first half.

Gao Bo did not intend to make any adjustments to the tactics in the second half.

In his opinion, the most critical thing in the second half is not tactics.

There is nothing wrong with Manchester City's tactics.

The key to the second half lies in the mentality of the players.

The excellent performance of the opponent's goalkeeper is a very serious blow to the morale of one's own players.

Therefore, for Manchester City, the most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army and maintain morale! !
"Everyone played well in the first half. I am very satisfied with everyone's performance. If it weren't for the good luck of the opponent, we have scored at least three goals now!!"

Gao Bo raised three fingers and said.

He didn't say this out of nowhere.

Shenpu is the same as World Wave, in fact, there is some element of luck - of course, it cannot be all due to luck.

But Gao Bo avoided the important ones, and the players didn't think too much about it.

After all, many miraculous saves would not have been possible without the blessing of luck.

Gao Bo said so, the problem is not big.

"We still have 45 minutes, which is enough for us!!"

"We have won many games, the opponents in this game, we have also won them many times!!"

"Think about their embarrassment in the first half! They can't resist our offensive!!"

"Since their goalkeeper saved so many balls! Then, let's keep him busy in the second half!! He saves one, and we continue to organize a dangerous attack!!"

"The goal is huge!! It's impossible for the opponent to cover all the areas!! Don't think so much in the second half, if you have a chance to shoot resolutely!!!"

Gao Bo said loudly.

This is his biggest concern. If the players become hesitant to shoot because of De Gea, it will be even more difficult to score goals! !
"Decisive! Resolute!! Don't think so much about anything else!!"

"If you want to score goals, you have to shoot!!!"

Gao Bo waved his fist to boost the morale of the players.

at the same time.

In another locker room.

Guardiola was loudly praising the team's performance.

Especially De Gea.

In the dressing room, almost all Manchester United players hugged De Gea.

Without this goalkeeper, Manchester United would have been beaten before they scored in the first half!
"In the first half of the game, David's performance can only be described as incredible!! To be honest, this is the best goalkeeper performance I have ever seen!!"

Guardiola praised.

"However, if you want to win, you can't rely on the goalkeeper alone. In the second half, we still need a goal!!"

"Control the situation on the field and don't allow them to attack. Manchester City, which is behind, will definitely press up and attack. We must pay attention to using the space behind them!"

Guardiola said quickly.
