Wansheng takes the FA Cup final very seriously.

Before the game, he and the assistant coaches studied Portsmouth's recent games and also developed the play tactics for the final.

In the league, you have to work hard to get more victories; in the finals, it is the exact opposite, because the outcome of a game can determine the title of the championship, so it must be steady.

Redknapp's Portsmouth must be stable, and Wansheng's requirements for the team are also stable.

In the locker room before the game, Wan Sheng said, Don't rush to score, control the football, control the game. Show what we do best, I believe we have the advantage in strength, so don't give them any chances.

Finally, he added, Even if it's a penalty shootout, we're not afraid, so don't give them any chance!

Wan Sheng waved his fist and looked very serious, which remained in the minds of every player.

Afterwards, they stepped into the new Wembley Stadium with the expectations of all Manchester City supporters.

The new Wembley Stadium is already full.

As the defending FA Cup champions last season, Manchester City has won the Community Shield, League Cup and League Championship successively this season. The FA Cup is the fourth title they are fighting for.

The FA Cup final is what every fan pays attention to, so there are many fans who come to support Manchester City. There are 30,000 fans at the scene from Manchester.

There are also a lot of fans in Portsmouth, nearly 18,000 according to statistics.

Although the number of people was slightly smaller, the shouts of 18,000 people were enough to cover all parts of the stadium.

When the players of the two teams stepped into the arena, there were shouts from the stadium one after another, some supporting Manchester City, some supporting Portsmouth, and many neutral fans shouting, making the stadium atmosphere very hot.

The game is about to start.

Portsmouth manager Redknapp followed the players from both teams into the pitch, and as he walked to the bench, he looked to the side.

Wan Sheng was also walking to his position, and while talking to Diamares, he seemed to feel his target staring at him. He also turned his head and looked at Redknapp.

The two teams smiled and nodded to each other.

Looking at the young face on the other side, Redknapp couldn't help but sighed at the youth of the other side, and he was over sixty years old, and the difference was more than double the age, but the two became opponents on the field.

This is not the first time the two have fought each other.

Wan Sheng has played against Redknapp many times in the several seasons he coached Derby County and Manchester City, but most of them are in the league, and the outcome does not have a big impact.

It's different now.

FA Cup final.

Losing to Manchester City in the league is actually nothing. For a team in the middle of the Premier League, losing to the defending champions for two consecutive years can even be understood by its own fans.

But the FA Cup final is a game directly related to the championship. The FA Cup is of special significance to English clubs and has an extremely important position in the hearts of English fans. Many fans believe that the FA Cup is more important than the league title.

So this championship is a must.

Redknapp couldn't help but think of what club chairman Alexander Gaidamark said to him yesterday, Harry, try your best to win, this is a rare chance for Portsmouth to get close to the championship. I hope to give the club a second place tomorrow. To win the FA Cup, that would be a great moment!

Alexander Gaidamark's voice seems to be still in his ears, but Redknapp is sitting in his seat, watching the game but he can only smile wryly, rich coaching experience, let him know what to do to have a better chance of winning, but ... The opponent is Manchester City, is there really a chance?

So far I can only watch the game.

Redknapp's style of play is 'steady', a stable lineup, a tenacious defense, and a strong game style. In short, Portsmouth spends most of its energy on defense.

This is also the best way for them to beat Manchester City.

Fighting head-on with Manchester City, the chance of winning is too slim, the gap between the players of the two teams is a bit big, and the offensive ability is not an order of magnitude at all, so defense is the best choice.

Redknapp didn't even think about attacking, he just put Benjani Mwaruwari up front and the rest of the players involved in the defense.

Portsmouth has two slightly famous forwards, one is Nugent and the other is Kanu. In the summer, both of them were highly expected, but after a season, the team performed the best. It's 'third striker' Benjani Mwaruwari.

Born in Bulawayo, Mwaruwari played in the domestic league as a teenager. He went abroad to play for South African club Jomo Universe in 1999, and then gradually became famous. During this period, he was loaned to the Swiss Grasshoppers.

Appreciated by Guy Rou, Mwarowari moved to Ligue 1 Auxerre two years later and initially developed smoothly, but he lost his starting berth when Jaques Sintini took over.

As a substitute in Ligue 1, it is better to play in the Premier League. Mwaruwari thought so, so he joined Portsmouth in January 2006 for £4.1 million.

Last season, Mwaruwari became Portsmouth's main striker, but the poor statistics of only 6 goals in 36 appearances made his position seriously unstable. After the arrival of Newgent, he was not allowed to. Do not give up the main position.

No one expected that, after being squeezed out of the main position, Mwaruwari broke out. He made 27 appearances in the league and scored 12 goals, making him the absolute starter of the team to replace Nugent and Kanu. .

Now in the FA Cup final, Redknapp also hopes to rely on Mwaruwari's personal ability to help Portsmouth threaten Manchester City's goal.

————

Redknapp's tactics are well developed.

Defense and counterattack.

The defense is to rely on the whole team's efforts to defend intensively, and the counterattack relies on the performance of Mwaruwari. This style of play is a good way for a small team to defeat a big team.

But the game is the game, not the imagination.

Everything is going according to Redknapp's ideas. Portsmouth definitely has a chance to win, but there are always accidents in the game.

This 'accident' did not appear in the Portsmouth team, but in the Manchester City team.

Manchester City have too many stars!

Maurice, Silva, Ozil, Darren Bent, Torres... Names can give people a thumbs up. Compared with Portsmouth's lineup, Manchester City's lineup It's just too gorgeous.

There are many stars, there is an advantage.

Just like the 'Galaxy Battleship', which used to be all-powerful in European football, when it comes to their games, there is no definite way of playing, and many goals rely on the individual performance of the stars.

There are many stars in the 'Galaxy Battleship', and if one star can burst out, winning the game will not be a problem.

The same is true of Manchester City now.

Manchester City probably can't catch up with the 'Galaxy Battleship', but compared to Portsmouth, it can be described as 'many stars'.

Manchester City's tactics are also very conservative, but they still completely suppress Portsmouth, who are very passive in their attacking style. However, Manchester City's formation is not so advanced, and they still pay attention to defense.

From the beginning of the game between the two teams, the word 'dull' was written.

However, dull does not mean no goals.

The first goal came in the 17th minute of the game.

This is an accident that happened to the Manchester City players, and it is the personal performance of Manchester City midfielder David Silva.

More than ten meters outside the penalty area, after receiving a pass from Morris, David Silva suddenly started to wade past the opponent's midfielder Montari, and then on the left side of the penalty area, at a 30-degree angle to the goal, he Suddenly choose to shoot.

This shot position is very bad, mainly because the angle is too small.

When Silva finished the shot, few people expected to score, but the football crossed an arc and went straight to the far corner of the Portsmouth goal.

Portsmouth goalkeeper and former Manchester City goalkeeper David James reacted a little slower. Perhaps he did not expect Silva to shoot suddenly. In short, when he realized the danger, it was too late.

The football fell straight into the goal and slammed into the side net, leaving everyone horrified.

The ball went in...?

Sky Sports commentator George Woodgate's tone could also hear his surprise at the goal.

When David Silva kicked up just now, he even thought it was a long pass, and Darren Bent, who was behind him, had a chance to grab a late point, but the football flew directly into the goal, so he didn't even have time to react. .

After confirming the goal, George Woodgate exclaimed, It's a goal! 1-0, David Silva used a sudden shot to help Manchester City take the lead!

Immediately, the entire Manchester City fans cheered!

From the first minute of the game to the time just now, the game between the two sides has been very dull. The commentator's analysis is that both sides are very conservative and take it very seriously. Those who have watched the finals also know that the finals are often difficult. Those who play wonderful scenes often play very conservatively in order to avoid problems and not give the opponent a chance.

This one is the same.

It was clear that Manchester City had been trying to control the game with possession, with Portsmouth dropping back to solidify the defence in the first minute of the game.

Neither team had the idea of ​​scoring quick goals to take the lead.

So the game scene makes people drowsy.

But Silva's goal woke everyone up. They didn't expect that Manchester City took the lead after more than ten minutes of the game.

This goal is entirely Silva's personal ability! This Spanish genius has grown up in Manchester City!

Some people said before that Silva was not as good as Ozil recently, but now he is relying on his individual ability to score an FA Cup final goal...

That's enough to say it all!

Silva is still the same Silva, he is a genius, he is one of the best players in the Premier League. (To be continued ~^~)
