I am a giant in football

Chapter 157 Wembley Stadium
"What's this...? It's so big! This ceiling is so spectacular!" Osborne's first reaction when he stepped onto the field was also the same as that of the players in front of him.

And Wilder behind him was not so shocked, after all, he had been here before, but it was in the stands.

Needless to say, Ye Fei was the last one to enter, his eyes almost fell out!
Before that, Ye Fei also knew about Wembley Stadium. It can be said that this stadium is a symbol of British sports.
In particular, as the world's largest capable stadium, it can fully satisfy the team's normal play on rainy days without fear of being affected.

This is why the FA Cup final will be chosen here.

Of course, in addition to the FA Cup final, some other national team matches will also choose here. On the one hand, it is resource utilization, and on the other hand, the FA hopes to collect more money and pay off the loan for building the arena as soon as possible.

After the two sides entered the field, they first thanked the fans in the midfield, and then prepared for the end. At this time, the two head coaches shook hands politely in the midfield.

"Mr. Wenger, hello! It is an honor for me, a junior, to play against you on the field!"

The moment they shook hands, Ye Fei spoke out what he was holding back.

"I am also very honored. It is the most wonderful thing for me to play against a very capable coach like you."

When Wenger finished speaking, the two quickly withdrew their hands, and looked up at each other at the same time, and then they turned and walked back.

The collision of eyes this time is the beginning of the battle. Although they didn't say anything, they all understand!
"Fans and friends in front of the screen, the last game of the 2014-2015 FA Cup is about to start. I am your old friend Zhan Jun, and my partner is Director Zhang (Zhang Lu),"

"Okay, let's talk about the paper strength of both sides first!"

"Director Zhang, do you think that side has the upper hand in terms of book strength, how big is this advantage?"

After Zhan Jun finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Lu beside him.

"First of all, let's look at the value of the players on both sides. We only compare a few representative ones. Let's talk about Arsenal first. The most valuable player in their team is Ozil, who is worth 5000 million euros. No.2 is Sanchez and Cazorla, who are worth 3000 million euros."

"It can also be seen from this that the current Arsenal team is based on these three players. Of course, it cannot be said that these three players are the strongest in terms of player value. They also have Giroud who scored 14 goals in the season."

"Although his value is not high, he is very practical. This is also a characteristic of Wenger's coach. His men are all players who are suitable for his tactics, not just expensive."

"Another aspect is that this season Arsenal finally achieved the third result in the Premier League season, which is very remarkable. We must know that this is the result achieved by coach Wenger leading a civilian team."

"So, although this Arsenal team has no superstars, it is definitely a frightening team."

........................

After talking about Arsenal, Zhang Lu paused for a while, then dug out a case file from the computer, looked at it and continued to say:

"For Sheffield United, I will first say two words-miracle! This is really a miracle. Under the siege of Manchester United, Liverpool and other Premier League teams, they miraculously appeared at Wembley Stadium and reached the final of the FA Cup."

"Before this, who would have thought of this possibility, who would think it was true, this simply subverts our cognitive dimension!"

"A League One team, the third-tier team in the UK, has reached the final of the FA Cup.

"However, a miracle really happened. They did it. In my opinion, the biggest credit is the same as Arsenal. They have an excellent coach, and that is the pride of all Chinese people—Ye Fei!"

"Sheffield United's success is entirely based on coach Ye Fei, and then let's talk about their player strength,"

"In the current transfer list, Ali is the most valuable player in Sheffield United, with a price close to 3000 million euros. Of course, this must have a household registration bonus, but Ali is indeed the strongest player in this Sheffield United team. There is no doubt about this."

"Besides, our Zhang Yuning is very strong, but his shortcomings are also obvious. His shooting ability is the strongest Chinese player I have ever seen in my life, but his physical endurance, defensive ability, and passing ability are all big shortcomings."

"The only thing to be proud of is that his tactical integration ability is very strong, and he is the most threatening point among Sheffield United's front tridents."

"Then there is Basham, the core of Sheffield United's defense. He is a really good captain. He is not proud on the field, does not take credit, and is willing to do any dirty work. His defensive ability can definitely go sideways in the Premier League."

"In the end, my conclusion is that although Sheffield United is far behind Arsenal on paper, it is not certain who will win the FA Cup. Of course, as a Chinese, I fully support Coach Ye Fei to win the championship."

"Hahahahahaha..."

After the analysis, Zhang Lu laughed a few times.

"Okay, fans and friends, after listening to Director Zhang's analysis, everyone must know the level gap between the two teams. We don't know who the final champion belongs to, but I believe this will be a wonderful game. Now let's set our sights on the field!"

At the same time that Zhan Jun finished speaking, the rebroadcast images had already been shown to the players on both sides. At this time, the starters on both sides were ready, and they were just waiting for the referee's whistle!
But before that, Zhan Jun suddenly shouted:

"Oh... what's going on? Has Sheffield United's starting lineup changed?"

It turned out that in the starting lineup just announced, Ye Fei let Zaldes start and Zhang Yuning came on the bench for the frontcourt position.

He also took Dunn down in the midfield position and let De Jong start.

This is definitely a big deal. After seeing this starting list, Wenger on the opposite side showed an unbelievable expression!

It seems to be saying to Ye Fei: "Boy, are you playing with fire? Are you not afraid of getting caught in the fire?"

Anyway, Ye Fei doesn't care what others say, he just did it like this, of course he has his own purpose, but it's all in his heart, he definitely won't say it out!

"Di........." With a long whistle, the FA Cup final officially began!
At the beginning of the match, both sides did not attack rashly, they were testing each other's strength!
Although Arsenal is a Premier League team, their players have not shown a superior state, and they are cautious in possession of the ball.

After getting the ball, he has been hovering in his own half, passing the ball, and advancing steadily!
It means that you are not in a hurry and I am not impatient, just to see who will show his feet first!
"Ye...... Arsenal's system on the field is too stable! Don't they attack with such an advantage?"

Wilder watched the Arsenal players on the field in disbelief.

"It's not surprising...it's not surprising...Wilder, you have to think that their coach is Wenger, who is notoriously cautious!"

"Their approach is what I thought about before the game!"

After speaking, Ye Fei rushed to the sidelines and shouted at Ali:

"Ali, the organization presses forward, don't let them take the initiative to press over and form an attack!"

Ali on the field heard Ye Fei's shout and gestured an "OK" to him!

Subsequently, Ali, as the frontcourt commander, shouted:

"Everyone in the front court followed me and pressed forward!"

As soon as the order was issued, the three forwards plus Ali and De Jong went forward.

At the same time, Kanter took Morrison back quickly, and Basham and their three defenders surrounded the entire penalty area.

This is one of Ye Fei's tactical systems. The frontcourt presses down, and at the same time, the defense keeps the goal to prevent the opponent from launching long pass tactics!
As Sheffield United first changed their tactics, the intensity of the field increased steadily.
Especially in this scene of grabbing the ball, they all use their bodies to forcibly collide.

"Crack, crack..." Soon, people on the field began to fall to the ground, but the players of Sheffield United were relatively restrained in their movements, and there were no obvious foul actions.

Even though there were people grabbing the ball and falling to the ground, the referee didn't blow his whistle!
"Head, do we want to change our tactics?" In front of Arsenal's bench, the assistant coach said in Wenger's ear.

"Don't worry, let's see what they want to do first! Trust our players, this kind of intensity is not difficult for them!"

After speaking, Wenger continued to look at the field with his arms folded as if watching a play.

Ye Fei also looked at him from the other side, and found that this old guy was so stable, he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Originally, Ye Fei's pressing tactics were hoping that the old guy could make a change, because their tactics just now were too stable, making people feel that there were no loopholes to find!
"I didn't expect that coach Ye Fei would make a change in the first 5 minutes. This is a bold move!"

"Isn't he afraid that Arsenal will take the opportunity to infiltrate behind them and launch a long ball attack?"

Zhan Jun is really a prophet. As soon as his words fell, Arsenal center Giroud had already thrown off the defenders and rushed across the midfield.

After seeing such a situation, Ozil, who had been forced to the front of his penalty area, thumped hard on the ball under his feet.

"Boom......................................................................................"

There was a loud noise, and then the ball flew to the frontcourt!

"The ball is passed. Ozil's goal is Olivier Giroud in the frontcourt. This is a long pass over 50 meters...... Can Giroud receive it?"

Amid Zhan Jun's yelling, Jirou ran forward without stopping!
At this moment, Kanter, who was farthest away from him on Xie United, also saw this situation and rushed towards him immediately.

The awareness of replacement is very strong!

"Oh, come on, Sheffield United's Kante went to defend Giroud, the ball has not yet landed, now it is not so clear who can grab this air ball."

Three seconds later... the ball fell,

Kanter and Giroud rushed to the landing point at high speed and jumped up at the same time, but a tragedy happened. Kanter's height of 169cm was not comparable to that of Giroud's 193cm.

Can only watch the ball being pushed away, Kante, who was not reconciled, slammed into Giroud's body hard.

"Boom..." The sound of collision!

Then I heard Giroud shouting: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"!

Then fell to the ground!
"Dick........." The referee didn't hesitate, and immediately started drawing cards!
Then a shiny yellow sign began to shine in the air!
"Damn... What is the situation? The referee actually gave Kanter a yellow card. Now he has received the card in just 7 minutes of the game. The rest of the game is simply a nightmare!"

Zhan Jun looked angrily at the referee's penalty!

Zhang Lu beside Zhan Jun also said unwillingly:

"Yeah! Judging from the replay, Kanter's foul wasn't particularly big! Logically speaking, it was an ordinary foul at most, but now it's a yellow card!"

"In this way, it will be difficult for Sheffield United to play in the second half, and coach Ye Fei will also face the problem of difficult scheduling!"

"Once Kante accidentally gets another yellow card, it's basically over!"

Both commentators are complaining for Sheffield United, but the referee doesn't care so much, not only giving cards but also sentencing,
Immediately signaled for Arsenal to take an [indirect free kick]!
As the team's best passer, Özil was not polite, and put the ball on the prescribed spot, waiting for the referee's order!

This indirect free kick exceeds 30 meters, which is also very difficult. The most important thing is that it is close to the left. It is difficult to observe the frontcourt from this angle.

A few seconds later……………

The referee has already arranged the human wall, and then signaled Ozil to kick-off.

Without hesitation, Ozil made a high-profile kick directly on the spot, and the ball flew into the Sheffield United penalty area.

Subsequently, Arsenal's three forwards Sanchez, Giroud and Welbeck began to cover each other in the penalty area.
"Boom..." Someone hit the ball, and the falling ball changed direction and flew towards Sheffield United's goal.

"It's Giroud. He hit Ozil's free kick. His body is really strong! He pressed Umtiti and forcibly hit the ball. It's amazing..."

Zhan Jun looked at Jirou's body with envy, and clicked his tongue again and again!
Seeing the ball flying towards him suddenly, Alisson didn't panic,

Because it is a header, the ball does not have any arc or spin, but it is faster and the distance is relatively short.

Relying on the goalkeeper's sense of smell, Alisson rushed directly to the upper right corner, and he didn't know if he was so accurate or lucky.
Giroud's header really flew to the upper right corner of the goal,
"Crack..." Without any effort, Alisson caught the ball with both hands.

“Beautiful………………………beautiful…………… Alisson…………”

"It's amazing... He caught the ball easily and made another great contribution for Sheffield United!"

"The magician... This is really the magician. Since Alisson came to Sheffield United, he has been refreshing people's understanding, and his performance is getting better and better."

"In the future, I believe he can become a world-class goalkeeper!"

Zhan Jun bragged about Alisson's dozens of words in a row, so that Zhang Lu beside him had no chance to intervene.
