We agreed to play football together, and you will be the head coach?

Chapter 404: Battle for the Beautiful Football Representative

With a whistle, the 2013-2014 FA Cup final officially kicked off.

The intensity was quite strong from the start.

Walcott dribbled past the defense but was brought down by Kante and Mane who were returning to defense.

Since they are all Premier League teams, there is no need to have any objections about the intensity of the confrontation.

Everyone recognizes this high-intensity confrontation.

In the third minute, Arteta made a direct cross from the left.

Van Dijk and the 1.96-meter-tall Mertesacker had a fierce confrontation, allowing Boateng to clear the situation.

Arsenal's defensive height is still very good.

In the eighth minute, Pogba made a straight pass to Bale on the right.

He has now discovered the "easy way to play".

That is to give the ball to Bale.

Gibbs tried his best to interfere with Bale who was sprinting without the ball. After Bale overtook, Arsenal goalkeeper Fabianski had already completed his attack and kicked the ball away.

In the eleventh minute, Bale's shoes were stepped on and knocked off by Gibbs while he was faking a run. As a result, due to excessive force, the shoes were actually broken by Bale's needle.

Southgate quickly replaced Bale on the sidelines.

Considering that Bale is the core of the Welsh team and Southgate is the chief assistant coach of the England team, this picture is unique.

《Shock! England coach bows down to Welsh players, Wales conquers Great Britain and becomes the orthodoxy of England! 》

Just ask if you are stimulated or not.

In the twelfth minute, Arsenal made a mistake in controlling the ball in the center circle.

In fact, this Arsenal team has very strong midfield control.

The main reason for the poor performance this season is the weak forward performance.

Although Podolski is a famous German football star, his career started off well but ended badly, and he has never been able to fully realize his potential.

It's really a waste of this midfield team.

This time it was Kanter who stole the ball from Ramsey and then launched a counterattack with a long kick.

Although it was not accurate, Mane still ran out of space on the left and broke into the left side of the penalty area.

But Fabianski struck quickly.

Mane took the initiative to kick the ball away.

Fabianski then tackled Mane to the ground.

Wenger was stunned.

Is this... a red dot?
But the linesman saved Arsenal.

As the linesman raised the flag, Mane was offside.

Arsenal successfully survived.

Villa almost won the game eighty minutes in advance.

With one more person, the game asks you how can you lose?
pity!

In the 15th minute, Villa made consecutive passes in the middle of the outer edge of the Arsenal penalty area.

Modric passed the ball without looking at anyone, sending it to the empty space on the left.

Boateng actually came up!

boom!
Boateng made a cross in the unmanned area on the left side of the penalty area.

Lewandowski shoots.

The result was also saved by Fabianski.

Bale tried to make a follow-up shot.

But Koscielny cleared the ball first.

Koscielny moves quickly and his main goal today is to assist Bale in defending against danger.

In the 17th minute, Arsenal got a corner kick.

After Arteta took a corner kick, Van Dijk headed the ball away, but the ball did not fly far.

Ramsey rushed into the penalty area and volleyed the ball away.

It seems that the King of Hell doesn't plan to recruit anyone recently, so Ramsey can't score.

Because his nickname is "Death"!
This is also the legendary "Ramsey's Law". Whenever he scores a goal, a celebrity will die soon after.

On October 2011, 10, four days after Ramsey scored the goal, Apple founder Steve Jobs passed away.

On October 10, Ramsey scored and Gaddafi was killed that day.

The door was broken on February 2 of the following year, and Whitney Houston died the next day.

On November 2013, 11, Paul Walker, the star of the Fast and Furious series, died on the same day.

He scored on April 2014, 4, and six days later, former Barcelona coach Vilanova died.

On August 8, the famous American movie star Robin Williams passed away suddenly.

In addition, the day Ramsey was born was the day Soviet President Gorbachev announced his resignation.

On Ramzi's 13th birthday, a magnitude 6 earthquake struck Iran, causing heavy casualties.

On his fourteenth birthday, a massive tsunami struck the Indian Ocean, the deadliest tsunami disaster in nearly two hundred years.

In short, Ramsey is the Wang Feng of the football world. Whether it is intentional or a real coincidence, his story is legendary.

In the 19th minute, Boateng intercepted Chamberlain and Villa launched a counterattack.

Modric passed the ball straight to the left and found Lewandowski who was on the side.

Lewandowski protected the ball on the left side, and after Sagna confronted him twice, he passed it back to Modric.

Modric made a low pass and sent the ball into the penalty area.

Kaka and Mane both made forward runs.

Kaka chest ball.

Mane kicked the ball into the goal before Fabianski could attack.

The football successfully entered the goal.

"GOAL! One to zero! Mane scored the first goal for the team! Villa took the lead!"

"Kaka's chest pass is amazing. If I remember correctly, Ronaldo also did the same to him in Real Madrid!"

"Fabianski escaped the penalty once, but he couldn't escape the second time. Mane finally broke through his defense today!"

"Villa's counterattack was so sharp. Modric's counterattack level reminded me of De Bruyne!"

Modric: ???
What a great reversal of Tiangang!

"On the field, Arsenal was not at a disadvantage, but rather had an advantage. Their ball possession rate was much higher than Villa's."

"That's been true of Arsenal this season, they've always been able to dominate early on because of their strong midfield, especially Arteta."

"But they lack the means to score goals, their forwards are weak, and when their forwards squander opportunities, they are easily counterattacked by others."

"If Arsenal knew the predicament they would face today, I wonder if they would let Eduardo go so easily. And if Eduardo hadn't left, Van Persie might not have left either."

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Who would have thought that Arsenal, which used to score so many goals, would now be short of people who can score goals.

Southgate repeatedly lamented: "People have always believed that Arsenal's system can increase player data, and any striker who goes to Arsenal will score a good number of goals."

"And the data of their other midfield players is also very good, which to a certain extent makes people ignore the importance of forwards. As a result, several world-class center forwards were lost."

"But now it seems that the role of a top center cannot be compensated by players in other positions."

He Tianqi nodded.

On the field, Arsenal players complained that Mane was offside, but the ball was passed to Mane by Kaka, and Kaka was ahead of Mane, so it was impossible for Mane to be offside.

The referee said the goal was valid.

In the 25th minute, Cazorla received the ball and broke into Villa's penalty area.

Rudiger fell to the ground first during the confrontation, destroyed the ball and completed a key defense.

In the 26th minute, Arteta received the ball outside the left side of the penalty area and made a series of feints before shooting towards the goal.

when!
The football hit the crossbar and bounced off.

The whole audience sighed.

Arteta's strong personal ability is still enough to decide the outcome of the game.

At 32, he doesn't show much signs of decline.

His decline in statistics is due to his position changing from attacking midfielder to defensive midfielder.

Arsenal lacks a good defensive midfielder like him with beautiful organizational skills, and his physique also makes him more defensive than a small player like Modric.

In the 31st minute, Pogba took a long shot from the outside, but the ball went over the goal.

In the 32nd minute, Walcott suddenly stopped after sprinting without the ball and sat on the ground. The Arsenal fans at the scene were all very nervous.

The camera turned to Walcott. Even though the team doctor hadn't come on the field to check on him yet, Walcott was already in tears.

He had been injured many times, so he knew clearly why he was injured this time and how serious it was!

At least one ligament torn!
This kind of injury...

Walcott looked at He Tianqi on the sidelines.

"Oh! That's bad! Walcott can't continue the game. His injury may affect his selection for the England national team!"

"In fact, Walcott has already suffered a serious injury this season and it has only been less than two months since he returned."

"What a pity! Who could have thought that the little tiger back then would end up like this!"

"Most speed players cannot escape this fate... they are very powerful when they are young, but once they are seriously injured and lose their speed, they gradually become ordinary people."

The Southampton youth dormitory derby came to an abrupt end.

Veteran Rosicky replaced Walcott.

In the 35th minute, Rosicky dribbled the ball, cut inside and attempted a long shot.

But Oblak made no mistake and saved the ball.

In the 37th minute, Arsenal made continuous passes in the frontcourt, looking for opportunities.

In the end, Podolski took the lead and finished the goal.

Unfortunately, Boateng moved too fast and blocked the ball with his foot.

In the 42nd minute, after Villa took a corner kick, Arsenal won the ball. Now it was their turn to use their beautiful football to launch a counterattack like mercury.

As a result, Podolski just started to speed up and turned around to see the referee.

The two collided and the match was interrupted.

Arsenal missed a great opportunity.

In the 44th minute, Pogba tried another long shot, but the ball went wide.

The young midfielder was a little impatient.

Modric perfectly took over De Bruyne's responsibilities, which made Pogba a little anxious.

I thought he came to become the core of Villa's midfield.

As a result, De Bruyne won the FIFA Golden Ball Award.

I thought that since De Bruyne was injured, it would be his turn to explode.

Who would have thought that Modric would take over De Bruyne's duties.

Why is it so difficult to be the core of Villa's midfield?

You know, Pogba doesn't like the position he is playing in now.

He wanted to get closer to the front.

In the end, the first half ended with Villa leading one to zero.

In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.

In the 46th minute, near the Gibbs Corner flag area, someone tried to make a hidden move.

He suddenly kicked the ball towards Bale who was rushing over to press him.

In this way, the ball hits Bale and bounces out of the sideline, and Arsenal can get a goal kick and retain possession of the ball.

However, when the football hit Bale, it somehow did not bounce off, but was actually controlled by Bale.

Bale turned around and was about to break through with the ball.

Gibbs quickly pulled.

Just then, Bell's feet slipped.

Bell fell to the ground.

But he passed the ball before falling to the ground.

Pogba made a straight pass from the right rib.

Lewandowski received the ball with his back, flicked the ball, turned around, dribbled sideways and shot with his left foot.

This kick is of high quality.

Unfortunately, the ball hit the post and bounced to the other side, and was then cleared by Sagna.

Pogba and Lewandowski were both very regretful.

They almost got the data once in the finals.

He Tianqi complained to the referee, believing that Gibbs's actions were problematic.

The referee then showed Gibbs a yellow card.

But in fact, even without his pulling, Bell would have slipped just now.

His turn and acceleration were too fast for the turf to handle.

In the 53rd minute, Mane received the ball from Modric on the left and forced a breakthrough, successfully sending a cross from the bottom.

But Koscielny suppressed Lewandowski and headed the ball away.

In the 59th minute, Kaka was knocked down from behind by Koscielny when he received the ball with his back to the goal in the frontcourt.

Villa got a free kick in a good position in the frontcourt.

Bale took the penalty kick and kicked the ball...which hit the wall!
The football flew back.

Kaka, who was covering Bale on the side, controlled the ball, made a fake pass and then passed it into the penalty area.

There was chaos in the Arsenal penalty area.

Lewandowski ran out of position and volleyed the ball.

As a result, the football hit my calf and broke!

Fabianski made a god-level save into the near corner!
Because Lewandowski shot at the near corner.

However, due to the missed shot, the football formed a strange arc and slowly flew towards the far corner.

Finally fell into the goal.

"GOAL!!!"

"Two to zero! Villa is secure!"

"Lewandowski's shot fully demonstrated what luck is!"

"I firmly believe that his kick was an accidental one and it was not a deliberate attempt."

Soon, this was also confirmed on camera.

Bale, Kaka and Boateng all congratulated Lewandowski and said that he was so lucky with this goal.

Modric even joked: "Your shooting skills are among the top five in the world!"

Lewandowski affirmed everyone with a smile, his face blushing.

He didn't expect that the goal could be scored in this way.

If he really missed the shot, then he would be the sinner because his shot would indeed be blocked.

A striker who misses several great opportunities in a row will be punished.

Podolski: What a dirty curse!

In the 63rd minute, seeing that Lewandowski had scored, Pogba became even more agitated and took another long shot.

The football still went wide.

He Tianqi on the sidelines frowned and scolded Pogba.

Pogba nodded to show that he acknowledged his mistake, but he became slack in running on the court and was not as active as before.

In the 66th minute, Arteta made a lob pass from the midfield.

Oblak confiscated the ball before Podolski.

Oblak in this time and space is not only a goalkeeper with perfect goal-line technique, but also has mastered the ability to attack and developed a good long pass.

If he keeps polishing, it is possible for him to be the world's number one goalkeeper for a long time!
His foundation is better than Handanovic, Schmeichel and Courtois!

In the 77th minute, Rosicky received a through ball from Arteta and dribbled sideways on the penalty area line.

Arsenal have a lot of dribbling like this because they are looking for good enough opportunities.

This is a high-risk, high-reward move.

Villa's counterattacks were several times achieved by intercepting the ball and creating excellent opportunities through lateral dribbling.

But this time...

Pogba, returning to defense, collided with Rosicky.

The referee pointed to the penalty area.

Penalty kick!
