May 12th, Wembley Stadium!

As night falls, the lights are shining!

This is the FA Cup final!

Manchester City, against Wigan Athletic! !

There was a loud voice in the stands in the stadium!

The fans on both sides were very clear, waving their respective flags, cheering for their teams.

However, from the perspective of momentum, it is clear that Manchester City fans have the upper hand.

Although Wigan Athletic reached the FA Cup final, they were still relegated in the league. Just four days ago, Wigan Athletic lost to Liverpool and was relegated two rounds in advance.

Therefore, Wigan Athletic fans are obviously not in a good mood, even if Wigan Athletic wins the FA Cup, it is difficult to heal the trauma of relegation.

For an English team, winning the FA Cup is just a matter of honour, and staying in the Premier League is a major matter related to the survival of the team.

Many relegated teams will face financial crisis the first time.

Because in the Premier League, the annual broadcast fee alone is close to 100 million, which is incomparable in the British Championship.

Once downgraded, the team's income will drop sharply. At this time, the average team will cut expenses and sell those high-paid star players, and their strength will be weakened a lot, and then it will be much more difficult to upgrade to the Premier League. There are even some teams who have been relegated to a slump, continue to relegation directly from the British Championship, and fall into a lower-level league.

On the other side, Manchester City fans are at their most proud moment!

The league has won the championship, and next, there will be two finals!

Compared to the Champions League final ten days later, the FA Cup final is like an appetizer. Even so, the Manchester City fans are also very excited. Before the game started, they cheered in the stands, as if The same as having won the championship.

"This man from Manchester is so annoying!"

"Hey, who made them the league champions?"

Two Wigan Athletic fans were discussing, and then sighed at the same time.

Manchester City won the championship and Wigan Athletic was relegated.

Such a gap made some Wigan Athletic fans look frustrated.

"Don't be frustrated, so what if they are league champions!! Even if we are relegated, we have to win the FA Cup and be relegated!!"

Some diehard Wigan Athletic fans said.

"Yes!!! What about Manchester City!!! Just **** them!!!"

"It's the champion!!"

"Who said that the relegation team can't beat Manchester City!!!"

Soon, the Wigan Athletic fans in the stands were unwilling to see the arrogance of Manchester City fans, and they soon made their own voices.

The game hasn’t started yet, the stands seem to have entered the first climax/trend

"Friends of the audience, welcome to watch the 2012-2013 season, the England FA Cup final, Manchester City vs. Wigan Athletic, and today's Wembley are full! The fans of both sides are already competing before the game starts!!!"

The commentator Letkinson said that at this time, he was sitting in the commentary booth. When the fans were clamoring, he had to grab the headset with his hand and then use his best to speak out loudly so that his voice would not be affected by the fans on the scene. The drum noise overwhelmed.

"Yes! The fans of the two teams can be said to be evenly matched. Both sides occupy a piece of the stand. In terms of number, the fans of the two teams in this game are almost the same, and, to a certain extent, this game The game is still a Manchester Derby!"

Right next to Letkinson, his partner Redknapp said.

Speaking of it, this game is a Manchester derby, which is quite reluctant. Wigan Athletic is a football club located in Wigan, Manchester, and Manchester City can barely be regarded as a team from the same region.

But this will definitely not be the Manchester Derby.

On the one hand, Manchester City will definitely not think that Wigan Athletic is qualified to compete with them as a Derby opponent, and on the other hand, Wigan Athletic does not consider itself a Manchester team.

Therefore, this derby is just a small gimmick for the media, and it is uncountable.

"However, in this FA Cup final, the strengths and weaknesses are very clear. In the 36th round of the league, the two teams can be said to be two days of ice and fire. Manchester City defeated West Bromwich and won two rounds ahead of schedule. , While Wigan Athletic lost to Liverpool in the away game, relegated two rounds early, bid farewell to the Premier League, this FA Cup final, perhaps in the next season or several seasons, Wigan Athletic is one of the few The opportunity to show up in the mainstream media."

Letkinson shook his head and said.

"Do you know which game this reminds me of? Wright." Redknapp asked.

"I know, are you talking about the FA Cup final between Luton and Liverpool four years ago, in the 2008-2009 season?"

"Yes! That's right!!"

That game was also explained by the two men, and they were naturally impressed by that game.

"Luton did a miracle. This is by far the greatest dark horse in the FA Cup final! And today, will Wigan Athletic be a dark horse?"

"I think it's difficult. Because the head coach who led Luton to perform miracles is now the head coach of Manchester City. He knows how to deal with dark horses, and it is not easy for Martinez to counterattack."

The two commentators say you and me, but the meaning is very clear, they are not optimistic about Wigan Athletic.

They believe that the difference in strength between the two sides is too great, even if the FA Cup game is a hotbed of upset, but the probability of an upset is still very low, let alone in such a final.

The final competition is the hard power of both players.

Mindset, technology, team!

From any point of view, Wigan Athletic is very difficult to compare with Manchester City, otherwise, how can they be relegated from the Premier League?

Even Wigan Athletic, there are some fans who are not confident?

At this time, in the locker room.

In this game Manchester City drew the visiting team's locker room, so they can only fight in yellow away jerseys. And their opponent, Wigan Athletic can wear their home blue and white striped shirt.

In the visiting team's locker room, Gao Bo is making final arrangements for the game, and he needs to emphasize some key things.

This game in history ended with Wigan Athletic's lore against Manchester City. Therefore, Wigan Athletic will never be willing to just get the FA Cup runner-up.

"The key is that we need to control the game and not give the opponent a chance to counterattack."

"Their only chance is to launch a counterattack while we slack off! Therefore, all members must take the game seriously and there must not be any slack!"

Gao Bo said very solemnly, and the players also looked serious.

Everyone knows that when the head coach speaks in such a tone, it is best not to gag at this time.

On the other side, in the locker room of Wigan Athletic.

Spanish coach Xavi Martinez is also making final arrangements.

"Unfortunately, we have been relegated from the Premier League this season."

Martinez opened his hands and said.

Wigan Athletic players have mixed reactions after hearing this sentence.

There was a painful face, a depressed face, and a numb face, it didn't matter.

Such reactions were expected by Martinez.

Failure will expose all the problems, and relegation has reduced Martinez's prestige among the players.

In particular, before this game, Martinez also kneeled and licked almost flattery to Manchester City, which made many players feel dissatisfied.

The degraded Wigan Athletic is a broken ship leaking everywhere, and many players are already thinking about how to escape this ship.

After all, playing in the Premier League and playing in the Championship is a completely different world.

"I know that many people are already thinking about the next season, thinking about your future, your salary, and many people don't want to play in the British championship."

Martinez fired his eyes with a torch.

Many players turned their heads with guilty conscience and did not dare to look at them.

"This is the FA Cup final. It's a trophy."

"I think this also concerns you!"

"No team will want a player without fighting spirit. If we raise our hands and surrender, Manchester City will be the happiest. But what about you?"

"McCarthy! Are you looking for a home? Think about it, if you perform badly in this game, what kind of team can you favor?"

Martinez stared at his midfielder McCarthy and asked.

McCarthy was silent, he was a little embarrassed, a little guilty.

He really didn't take this game very seriously before. The strength gap between Wigan Athletic and Manchester City was too big, and after the team was relegated, the team's morale plummeted.

Who cares about this game?

"Listen!" Martinez pointed out the window.

During this period of time, Wigan Athletic fans seemed to have the upper hand, their singing came in, intermittently, but the players heard clearly.

This is the singing they can hear on every home game day.

They are praising the team, but also praising every player.

"Listen, this is the voice of our fans. They did not give up, they are still singing for you!"

"Even if it's not for anything else, just for these fans."

"I beg you, don't give up! Never, don't give up!!!"

Martinez said.

The Wigan Athletic players slowly raised their heads and looked at their head coach.

"This is a regrettable season, but God has given us a chance to make compensation for this regrettable season."

"In this final, if we can bring back a championship for the fans, even if the team is relegated, even if you go your separate ways, I think this season, there will be more than regrets left."

"The last game! We played against them!!" McCarthy stood up, he waved his hand, breathing heavily.

Every player here has come out of the youth training camp and grew up with football since childhood.

Are they willing to surrender directly?

After someone took the lead, all Wigan Athletic players also stood up and stated that they must go all out in the game.

There was a smile on Martinez's mouth.

This is the effect he wants to achieve.

He doesn't know if his pre-match touts to Manchester City can confuse Manchester City's players, which is beyond his control.

The only thing he can do is to inspire the fighting spirit of Wigan Athletic players.

In this case, even if he loses the game, he has tried his best

"The game is about to start! Players from both sides have lined up on the player channel!"

"Let’s take a look at the two teams first. In Wigan Athletic, the goalkeeper is Robles, the center-back combination is Alcalaz and Sarna, the left-back Espinosa, the right-back Bois In the midfield, Gomez, McCarthy. McManaman, MacArthur, and the forward is a combination of Maloney and Kone!"

"As for Manchester City, it looks like coach Gao Bo let Hart play to the end in the FA Cup. The goalkeeper is still Hart, and the central defender is Kompany's partner Maguire, right back Sabaletta. Kolarov, the left back, with Casemiro and Fernandinho as his double back midfielder, frontcourt, David Silva on the left, Kaka on the front, Griezmann on the right, and Val on the forward Di, and Hazard sits on the bench."

On the TV, Letkinson’s voice reached the ears of all the fans watching the game in front of the TV.

At this time, on the TV broadcast, the two teams are already lined up in the player channel, waiting to appear.

At this time, the picture turned and appeared on the sidelines.

The two head coaches are shaking hands.

"Congratulations on winning the league championship, Gao!"

Martinez shook Gao Bo's hand and said, but he quickly added: "However, the FA Cup champion, you don't want to get it so easily!"

Before the game, Martinez stopped pretending to be a grandson.

He pretends to be grandson to numb each other, not really like to keep his breath.

Of course Gao Bo knows this.

"Then we will wait and see!!"

Both head coaches are smiling, but their eyes are cold as a knife

The game starts soon!

As everyone expected, the control of the game was quickly taken over by Manchester City, followed by a continuous offensive!

In the second minute of the game, Kaka's shot from the penalty area line hit the post, which seemed to announce the rhythm of the game.

In the fifth minute of the game, Manchester City attacked again. Vardy's shot in the penalty area was blocked by the goalkeeper with his toes!

In the following period of time, Wigan Athletic was very passive.

Wigan Athletic received the first yellow card in the seventh minute of the game.

Kaka forcibly broke through at the front of the penalty zone and created a foul by Wigan Athletic's central defender Alcalaz!

The referee showed the yellow card to Alcalaz!

In the first few minutes, Wigan Athletic's goal was tested, and the main central defender received a yellow card!

Such a start made Wigan Athletic seem extremely passive.

"Man City's offensive is higher than the waves, Wigan Athletic is struggling to support the field!!"

"The strength gap is too big, Wigan Athletic can hardly resist Manchester City's onslaught!"

"I can smell the goal!"

In the commentary, the commentators said one after another.

At this time in the stands, the cheers of Manchester City fans were also wave after wave.

At this time, Wigan Athletic fans began to sing collectively, they sang the team anthem of the team.

This is the only way fans can think of when they are most passive.

Martinez frowned. Although he had exhausted all his thoughts, it seemed that Wigan Athletic still had a hard time resisting such a fierce offensive.

The singing of Wigan Athletic fans gradually overwhelmed the cheers of Manchester City fans.

"The fans of Wigan Athletic are singing, can they inspire the team's fighting spirit?!"

Martinez looked to the stands, then to the court.

The captain of the team Alcaraz clapped his hands.

"All cheer up!! Listen to this voice! This is our fan!!"

"They didn't give up!!! We won't give up either!!!"

"Don't be scared by the **** Manchester City!!!"

Several core players of the team also stood up to encourage the team's fighting spirit.

This scene was naturally seen by Gao Bo.

The trapped beast is still fighting, and the courage is praised.

A last fight can indeed arouse infinite fighting spirit.

Gao Bo looked at the stadium. What he hopes most is that the team can score an early goal. In this case, Wigan Athletic's fighting spirit will soon be wiped out.

If the team lags behind to score, Wigan Athletic's fighting spirit will become more and more vigorous.

The free kick handled by Griezmann bypassed the wall, but it was also slightly wide of the goal post.

Next, Manchester City's attack continues.

But until the fifteenth minute of the game, Manchester City still did not score.

Wigan Athletic fans were very excited and withstood the 15-minute frenzy of Manchester City. Wigan Athletic's fighting spirit on the pitch made them very happy.

Gao Bo sees the danger.

Wigan Athletic is now like a continuously compressed spring. The more they are compressed, the greater the rebound force.

Their players now seem to have the "sufferers" in their hearts. The more violent Manchester City's offensive, the stronger their fighting spirit.

Without scoring a goal in 15 minutes, Gao Bo immediately gave up his plan to continue the attack.

He handed over David Silva and arranged it.

People soon discovered that Manchester City's offensive was no longer violent and they began to seek control in the midfield.

Manchester City pours the ball slowly in the backcourt, no longer anxious to attack.

Wigan Athletic didn't dare to press it out. After all, they were already very passive when they contracted the defense. If they actively press it out, isn't this looking for death?

Gao Bo sat back on the coach's bench.

The so-called one blast, then decline, and exhaustion.

This is the time when Wigan Athletic is at its peak. Manchester City cannot take the risk of attacking now and continue to inspire Wigan Athletic.

Manchester City's strength is far above Wigan Athletic. As long as the Wigan Athletic players get rid of their strength, they want to be round or flat, or let Manchester City knead?

Gao Bo looked at Martinez, who was not far away. He had already made a move, and it was up to Martinez to take it.

To be honest, Martinez has few choices.

The gap in the hard power of his team has made Martinez's tactical changes difficult.

Martinez really doesn't have the confidence to let Wigan Athletic push up.

Therefore, he pressed his hands on the sidelines to signal the Wigan Athletic players to be patient.

"Wait!! Wait for them to press up!!"

Martinez pulled the team's midfielder McCarthy and said.

"What if they don't press it up?" McCarthy was shocked, then asked.

Martinez smiled: "Isn't that better, zero to zero, and then kick a penalty, we still have a 50% chance of winning the championship!"

McCarthy nodded, yes, if Wigan Athletic can really hold a zero to zero, this is indeed a very good result!

McCarthy returned to the court and passed Martinez's instructions to the players on the court.

The scene of the game has changed dramatically in one minute!

Manchester City recovered and controlled the ball, and Wigan Athletic did not attack.

The scene calmed down in an instant.

"Martinez is a good coach," Gao Bo, sitting on the bench, said to Moya.

Moya rolled his eyes. The opponent is a good coach. Wigan Athletic is difficult to deal with. They made up their minds not to press it out. What should Manchester City do?

Do you really want to get zero to zero with the other party?

"Wear it!! Grind it down with them!!" Gao Bo said, "Wigan Athletic is now in the same heart. When the fighting spirit is strongest, we must lower the rhythm of the game, and it is best to have a hypnotic effect."

"It's better to grind until they lose their vigilance!"

Gao Bo said this to Moya covering his mouth.

"The pace of the game has dropped, Manchester City is no longer eager to attack, and Wigan Athletic does not dare to press out, they still shrink in the penalty area!"

"Man City's slow pass in the midfield seems to be trying to attract Wigan Athletic, but Martinez's team is also very patient!"

In the first half of the game, such a tepid rhythm continued until the end of the first half.

When the whistle sounded at the end of the first half, there was deafening cheers at Wembley Stadium.

This is made by the fans of Wigan Athletic.

Regardless of the process of the first half, but the result is there, that is, Wigan Athletic did not lose the ball!

Although the first half of the game was flat, the fans of Wigan Athletic saw their chance of winning the championship from here!

Since there was no loss in the first half, what about the second half?

What about overtime?

Maybe Wigan Athletic really has a chance to win the championship!

"The first half of the game is over! A result we didn't expect before the game!"

"Zero to zero!! Wigan Athletic did not lose a ball in the first half!!"

"In the first half, zero to zero!!!"

During the commentary of the commentators, the players of the two teams left the court

In the locker room, Martinez praised the Wigan Athletic player.

"Zero to zero!!! We successfully defended the first half!! They had nothing to do with our defense!!"

Martinez said loudly.

The Wigan Athletic players are also very excited.

From the first half of the game, they seemed to see a glimmer of opportunity to win.

"They may be replaced by Hazard in the second half. After Hazard is on the field, they will begin their onslaught. We must be prepared!"

Martinez said.

This is the opinion of most people.

In their view, Hazard sitting on the bench is Manchester City’s backhand in this game. Now that Manchester City has not scored, it is also due to Hazard’s replacement.

At the same time, in another locker room.

"I think our opponents must be very open now." Gao Bo didn't care about the zero-to-zero in the first half.

His team can attack at any time, zero to zero is nothing.

As long as one goal, Manchester City can take away the game.

"In the second half, we need to change a little bit of rhythm to catch them by surprise!"

As long as there is a goal in hand, the game is stable!

The second half of the game started quickly, and in the initial stage, Manchester City did not attack as aggressively as Martinez expected.

After a few minutes, Wigan Athletic, which was waiting in full battle, also relaxed slightly.

At this time, David Silva, who took the ball in the midfield, keenly noticed the change of his opponent. He quickly turned around with the ball, and then suddenly moved the ball with a long diagonal pass!

"David Silva takes a long pass! Griezman!!!"

When David Silva dealt with this unusually and accurately found Griezman, the narrator Letkinson, who had a somewhat plain tone, suddenly realized the change of the situation! His tone immediately became excited.

Martinez bounced directly from the coaching bench and rushed to the sidelines.

At this time, Griezman dunked after taking the ball, passed the Wigan Athletic midfielder MacArthur, and crossed after reaching the penalty area! !

Vardy rushed forward and hit the ball with the back of his left foot!

Goalkeeper Robles is beyond the reach!

The football hit the net!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Vardy scored!!! Manchester City broke the deadlock!!!"

"One to zero!!! The sixtieth minute of the game!!! One to zero!!! Manchester City scored the goal!!!"

"A sudden attack, Manchester City's sudden attack made Wigan Athletic unable to react. After a long time of taking the opportunity, Manchester City's sudden blow helped them get the lead!!!"

After the goal, Vardy laughed and pointed at Griezmann and rushed over, and the two ran across the corner flag area with shoulders.

Other Manchester City players also rushed up.

This is a goal that broke the deadlock. This goal basically means that Manchester City won the game.

Gao Bo clenched his fists and swung his chest twice, then turned around and high-five with his assistants.

It's just defeating Wigan Athletic, it's not too crazy for Gao Bo to celebrate.

On the other side, Martinez's head banged and his whole body felt cold.

Thousands of calculations, after all, the strength is more than one thing worse.

Martinez is a little helpless. All his tactics are based on not being able to lose the ball.

Now that Wigan Athletic has lost the ball, what should I do?

Press out?

Even if Manchester City are willing to play against Wigan Athletic, Wigan Athletic can't stand it.

Without pressing it out, the opponent can boil the frog in warm water and easily win the championship trophy.

With the huge gap in strength, Wigan Athletic does not have much choice.

Wigan Athletic fell into chaos after losing the ball.

In the 68th minute of the game, David Silva passed from his left side and Vardy shot when he won!

The football was lifted out of the crossbar by the goalkeeper.

After Manchester City's corner kick!

David Silva took a corner kick, followed by Maguire in the middle, a powerful header!

Knocked the goal of Wigan Athletic again! !

"Two to zero!!!"

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Another city!!! Manchester City has completely secured the victory!!!"

"Man City won the FA Cup!!!"

"Maguire!! Beautiful header!! Maguire has improved a lot this season, maybe Hodgson should consider recruiting Maguire to the England team!!!"

Maguire was also very excited after the goal.

On the court, the players of Wigan Athletic had low faces. Everyone knew that the trend was over.

Martinez sat on the coach's bench, leaning limply on the back of the chair, even Martinez knew that Wigan Athletic lost.

The FA Cup champion is finally a yellow beam dream

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the whole Wembley was boiling!

The electronic scoreboard at Wembley Stadium showed impressively: Wigan Athletic 1:4 Manchester City! !

With the goals of Vardy, Maguire, Kaka and Adam White who came off the bench, Manchester City defeated Wigan Athletic four to one in this game!

They defeated their opponents and won the 2012-2013 season, the FA Cup championship!

"Congratulations to Manchester City! Congratulations to Gao Bo! Congratulations to them!! They are the FA Cup champions this season, and their colleagues are the league champions this season! They won the double crown!! This is a great season!!! And now , They also need to play a Champions League final. If they win the Champions League in the end, they will create a great season of the Triple Crown!!!"

The commentator Letkinson said excitedly.

Manchester City fans are shouting!

At this time, everyone was staring at the shiny trophy on the court! !

This season, Manchester City won the championship trophy for the second time! !

"I hope we can see Manchester City win the cup again in this stadium this season!!"

This season's Champions League final is also in this stadium and here! !

After a simple and grand award ceremony, the team did not stay in Wembley for too long.

Manchester City returned to Manchester overnight.

After Gao Bo announced a holiday, he gave the team two days off! !

Even four days later, there is still a league game.

Anyway, now that the team has won the championship ahead of schedule, Manchester City will not waste the energy of their main players in the next two rounds of the league.

On May 15, the team faced Reading in the away scene.

Despite a substantial rotation, Manchester City defeated Reading in a two-to-one away game and won another victory.

Four days later, the 38th round of the league!

In the last game of the Premier League this season, the team played against Norwich at home.

The content of the game is not the focus of the fans. Before the game, Norwich lined up on the stadium to welcome the champion this season.

After that, the team captain entered the stadium with the FA Cup trophy ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to show the fans at home.

The atmosphere of the team has reached its peak/trend! !

The singing sounded from the first second of the game until the end of the game.

Even if Manchester City lost 1-2 at home to Norwich, who needed to be relegated, the cheers and singing of the fans continued.

Gao Bo didn't care too much about this failure.

Now the league matches are not important anymore, what matters is the Champions League final a week later!

After the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the game ended!

The 2012-2013 Premier League season is also over! !

The cheers on the scene shook the sky.

For Manchester City fans, this is really a fantastic season.
