This season, Manchester United's schedule is too intensive. The UEFA Cup final played against Dnipro is the 61st official game of the season. It includes 38 rounds of the Premier League, 5 FA Cups, 1 League Cup, 2 UEFA Cup playoffs and 15 UEFA Cup main matches.

This is because Manchester United is out of the League Cup early. If they go far enough in the League Cup, for example, if they enter the finals, Manchester United will have to play 4 more games. This means that Manchester United's total number of games this season will be as high as 66 games!

The Premier League started in mid-August last year and ended at the end of May this year. It was just over 9 months, and it took about 280 days, and it played a game almost every 4 and a half days, and most of the time it was a double match a week.

That is, Manchester United has been going well in all aspects this season, and players rarely suffer injuries, and serious injuries have not happened at all. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to persevere.

Just now, just won the UEFA Cup final, Manchester United's entire team just rested in Warsaw for one night, and then had to take a charter flight without stopping and flew back to the UK the next morning.

Just at 3 pm local time on May 31, local time in the UK, Manchester United had to compete for the FA Cup championship with Aston Villa at the New Wembley Stadium.

And this game is only a little over 88 hours before the end of the Europa League final!

……………………

Because there is only the last game left in the season, and the game interval is too short, after returning to Manchester, Ye Su arranged for the team only some restorative training, mainly to let the players rest and restore their energy.

As for the celebration of the UEFA Cup championship, Ye Su once again postponed it. Anyway, there was no parade celebration after winning the Premier League, so this time it was also exempted and we waited for the FA Cup finals to be held together.

If the FA Cup can win the championship successfully, the team will be celebrating with three trophys, which is exciting to think about!

Despite this, on the eve of the FA Cup final, Ye Su found through the savior system that the physical condition of many players was not optimistic.

In order to reduce the physical energy consumed by the players on the day of the game due to traveling on the journey, Ye Su led the team to London on the afternoon of the 30th.

However, when arranging the starter, Ye Su still did not arrange all the players who started in the Europa League final. Mata, Rooney and the young Bruno Fernandez were rested.

In this game, Manchester United's starting lineup was aiming players De Gea, Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dek, and Kyle Walker formed the back line, Kanter and Carrick partnered with the midfielder, Ashley Young, De Bruyne and Januzai served as the central defender, and Vardy broke out with a single arrow.

There are seven people on the bench, namely Rooney, Mata, Bruno Fernandez, Smalling, Valencia, Phil Jones and Lindegard.

Villa, the rest time they get is more than Manchester United. They have been preparing for the FA Cup final since the 38th round of the Premier League last Saturday.

……………………

However, even if Ye Su rotated three absolute main players, Manchester United's rest time was 4 days less than Villa, but when the game started, it was still Manchester United who grasped the active situation on the court.

Manchester United's midfield and frontcourt have three rotations, and the other three starters in a row, Valdy is a famous physical madman who can't run. De Bruyne, Kante, and the backcourt are all at the age of the most energetic in their lives. With nearly 4 days of rest, their physical fitness has almost recovered.

Of course, another important factor is the excitement of the championship trophy.

Although Ye Su now doesn't have a card like Chicken Blood Technique, he has given the players a dose of Chicken Blood Technique mentally.

In fact, after winning the Premier League and the Europa League one after another, Manchester United did not celebrate on a large scale. On the one hand, it was because time was indeed tight, and on the other hand, Ye Su was preparing momentum for this final sprint.

With two championship trophys in hand, we will definitely celebrate after the FA Cup final. However, if we fail to win the championship in this FA Cup final, will everyone have the right to celebrate then?

If you want to celebrate happily and without regrets, then everyone will fight in this FA Cup. Then you will celebrate with three trophys and blind the whole world!

……………………

Under such stimulation, Manchester United launched a fierce offensive on Villa's defense at the beginning of the game.

Anyway, there are no other games this season, and the players are all trying their best. Even if you try to clean all your physical fitness in this game, it is nothing completely.

Villa was not willing to be outdone and fought back. The two sides did not test at all, and the rhythm of the game was immediately adjusted to the highest level.

Manchester United's first goal-scoring opportunity came in the 8th minute of the game. Luke Shaw took the corner kick, and he made a cross directly, and the ball went straight to Villa's penalty area.

Although Villa has focused on guarding Maguire and Van Dijk, two Manchester United, have high points on the court, facing the absolute high points, Villa's slightly shorter defense still seems helpless. Maguire jumped high in the crowd, grabbed the ball's landing point, and headed the ball slightly off the back post.

Just 6 minutes later, Manchester United almost broke through Villa's goal again. This time it was Manchester United's positional attack. On the left, Manchester United organized the offensive seriously. De Bruyne's over-top ball passed behind Villa's defense line. Luke Xiao, who was in the front, made a cross from the bottom. Maguire suddenly inserted back and grabbed the landing point of Luke Xiao's passing in the middle of the small penalty area line and the large penalty area line, and sent out a powerful header.

At that moment, Villa's players on the court and Villa's fans behind the goal were heartbroken.

However, soon after, Villa's 39-year-old goalkeeper Jiwen burst out with huge energy and unbelievably saved Maguire's killing header from the goal line.

This is a real world-class save!

At that moment, the New Wembley Stadium was filled with applause, and Villa fans cheered for the wonderful performance of their goalkeepers. Even some Manchester United fans were impressed by Ji Wen's performance and gave them applause.

The Irish goalkeeper who had already celebrated his 39th birthday last month is not tall, but in the fiercely competitive Premier League, he can still hold the position of Villa as the main goalkeeper at the age of 39. His ability is only one aspect, and diligence is his greatest magic weapon.

In fact, this veteran who has been in the Premier League for nearly 20 seasons has played nearly 450 games in the Premier League, and the total number of appearances in his career has exceeded 700 games!

……………………

Manchester United players were not discouraged by their shots being resolved by the opponent's goalkeeper and defender again and again. They continued to launch a tide of attack on Villa's goal.

This is the most terrifying trait that Manchester United has shown to the world this season!

In the 17th minute, Kyle Walker broke through on the right and made a low cross from the baseline. De Bruyne's front shot was slightly off.

In the 20th minute, De Bruyne, who was pulled to the left, passed the ball into the penalty area at 45 degrees. Vardy stopped the ball and shot and shot it away.

After 20 minutes of the game, the pace of the game on the court slowed down slightly. After all, this high-intensity offensive and defensive transformation is a huge consumption for both players and it is definitely impossible for them to last for too long.

In this way, the stadium director also has time to cut the camera to other parts of the stadium to show fans around the world the all-round charm of the game.

In the 23rd minute, the live director tangled the camera to a very special fan in the stands. Prince William, who is very popular in the UK, is a Villa fan.

Prince William was shocked in the camera because the director had to cut the camera back to the court immediately. After a few minutes of rest, Manchester United's offensive came again.

In the 25th minute, former Villa player Ashley Young broke through continuously on the left side of the frontcourt, and forced a shot against Villa who was defending him was blocked. Half a minute later, Vardy received a cross from De Bruyne from the left and Richardson completed the blocking.

……………………

As Manchester United attacks one after another, time passed quickly, as if in a blink of an eye, it was approaching the end of the first half.

Because Manchester United's offense was too fierce, it put a huge pressure on Villa's defense. In the first 40 minutes, Villa's player had already received 3 yellow cards due to a foul.

However, despite the huge price, Villa's defense still failed to maintain his innocence until the break.

In the 40th minute, Ashley Young made a cross from the left, Vardy headed the ball back from a distance, and De Bruyne kept shooting with his left foot to score. 1:0, Manchester United finally broke the deadlock after sending more than 15 shots.

This is De Bruyne's 12th goal this season for Manchester United and the second goal in the FA Cup. 8 of the other 10 goals occurred in the Premier League and 2 in the Europa League.

De Bruyne, who scored the first goal of the game, roared and excitedly rushed out of the stadium to come to the corner flag area to celebrate wildly.

This goal has special significance to him, because it was the first time in his career that he scored in the finals of major events, and it was a football event with a long history like the FA Cup.

As a player who joined the Premier League team early, De Bruyne is very clear about the FA Cup. It may not be as dazzling as the Champions League, but it is definitely a jewel of world football.

The other Manchester United players were also very excited. They worked hard in the first half, but unfortunately they were not very lucky and their shots were resolved by their opponents again and again.

This has frustrated some Manchester United players.

Ye Su on the sidelines was relieved when he saw De Bruyne's goal.

He has already discovered that Manchester United players are becoming more impatient during the scene.

If such a fierce offensive in the first half could not score, it would probably have a great impact on the morale of Manchester United players.
Chapter completed!
