"We have not lost, stand up." In the 77th minute of the game, when Richards received Nasri's corner kick, beat the already tired Maguire, and equalized the score with a header, Notts County's The players couldn't hold on any longer.
They experienced a long period of high-intensity defense, and at the moment when they lost the ball, they were a little unable to hold on.
Maguire was a little disappointed because his defensive error resulted in conceding the ball. Alisson went up and patted Maguire,"Harry, you are the best. Everyone will make mistakes, let alone you who defended almost the whole game. Don't be discouraged. Just like the chairman said, we haven't lost yet.""
"Yes, partner. Stones also said to Maguire,"We win this game and introduce you to a good-looking girl another day, do it!""
"Dry!"Maguire regained his composure and continued to participate in the game.
It was a 1:1 draw. Now there are two choices before Zhou Xu. Continue to hold on and try a penalty shootout to decide the winner, or,
"Coach Zhou Xu made substitutions, wait, replacing Robertson with Origi, and Ilori with Cancelo. Is Zhou Xu going to change the formation to 3 central defenders, give up some wing defense, and put on a forward, what is he going to do?"
The commentator's voice was full of surprise, Zhou Xu's substitutions puzzled him.
Just like Zhou Xu said before,"Remember? Either victory or defeat," Zhou Xu pointed at Manchester City's goal.
Mancini was a little emotional. The young man was indeed motivated. Unfortunately, football cannot be won by motivation.
He also made a substitution. He wanted to teach this young man a lesson. Manchester City replaced the defensive midfielder Zabaleta with the Bosnian striker Dzeko, and Manchester City also stepped up its attack.
Although the Nottingham Forest players tried their best to launch an attack, they still failed to break through Manchester City. In the 88th minute of the game, Dzeko's long shot hit the crossbar heavily, causing a series of echoes.
The ball bounced back and Maguire kicked the ball away. Milner received the ball, and Manchester City's offensive continued.
He passed it to Neymar, who was very photogenic on the wing. It was another simple pull to accelerate. Neymar, who completed a single breakthrough, went to the bottom line and sent a cross. Yaya Toure headed the ball in front of the goal, and Nasri, who was ambushing at the back point, made a supplementary shot into the empty goal.
"There was no chance. At the last moment of the game, Manchester City won the game. The Notts County players held the ball and waited for kick-off. Their fighting spirit was commendable, but there was no time."
"In the end, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and Notts County ended their miraculous journey to the English Cup. As a League One team, they won the English League Cup and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup. Unfortunately, they faced Manchester City in the semi-finals and lost 1:2, ending their miraculous journey in the FA Cup.
Congratulations to Manchester City for advancing to the FA Cup final. They will compete with Tottenham, the winner of the previous semi-final, at Wembley for this season's FA Cup championship trophy."
The Notts County players were a little sad. They walked out of Wembley Stadium with the applause of the Wembley fans.
"We have tried our best, as I said before, tried our best and left the rest to luck. We are unlucky in this game and everyone will fail, but we cannot lose the courage to try again. We must remember today's defeat, and when we face Manchester City again, we will win against them and avenge us today."
On the way back to Notts County, the team bus was with the fans from the expedition.
The fans were not disappointed. They are just a League One team. They win blood and make money but lose nothing.
"Pogba, beautiful goal, your goal is much better than Manchester City's two goals!"
"Maguire, we need your defense, you are the best centre-back"
……
"Niemann, don't be frustrated by today's defeat. We will win back next time."
On the bus, listening to the fans' encouragement, Zhou Xu's eyes were a little moist.
"Chairman, let's go down and walk back with the fans."Kante said with some emotion. The other players were also looking at Zhou Xu.
Zhou Xu asked the driver. After confirming that he was not far away from the club, he took the players off the bus and came to the fans.
"Sorry, we lost, but next time we meet Manchester City, we will win it back!"
After that, he bowed to the fans, and the players followed suit.
Fan representative, fat Harry, stood up
"Chairman, we don't feel disappointed. Manchester City is a strong team that can compete for the Premier League championship. The oil guys spent a lot of money on it, but we, a mere English League One team, only lost to them by one goal. Aren't we proud of it?"
Harry said, scratching his head, a little embarrassed to say more
"Harry, hurry up and speak."The fans behind him couldn't help it. There were about a dozen of them. They just happened to meet the Nottingham Forest team returning to the club. They all had similar goals.
Zhou Xu also signaled Harry to continue speaking.
"Chairman, can you give Kante and Pogba their autographs? I really like them so much."
"Yes, yes, I want Maguire!"I want Vardy's"
"Can I have them all? Are you all children?"
Zhou Xu couldn't laugh or cry, and could only helplessly express that he didn't have pen and paper.
"Chairman, I have it here!"A fan who was carrying a pen with him for some reason stood up.
"Sign it on our clothes. Harry said quickly.
Pogba also came over at this time,"I have no objection to the chairman, it's just a signature.""As he said that, Pogba rubbed his hands together, a little eager to give it a try. He had never been asked for an autograph before. He had never thought about making money from the players' image rights, so he stepped aside and let the players Sign autographs to fans one by one
"Long live the Chairman."A young child cheered. Zhou Xu recognized him. When receiving the League Cup award, Mrs. Wendy asked her to take Notts County to the Premier League. This is his grandson Little Jack. Their family is Notts County. County fans.
Sure enough, Mrs. Wendy squeezed out of the crowd and hugged Zhou Xu.
"Long live the fans."Zhou Xu corrected Little Jack's words
"After signing all night, my hands were sore. Oh, why do you think so many people want my autograph? Pogba waved his hand in distress.
Kante beside him poured cold water on him,"No one even said he wanted it, but you signed it for him and said it was a forced sale."."
Seeing Kanter causing trouble, Pogba couldn't sit still.
"Kanter, what's wrong with you? Did you learn from Stones? And as a future Super Invincible Superstar, they will definitely regret it if they don’t get my signature this time."Just when Stones, who was lying innocently, was about to speak, Pogba asked Zhou Xu,"Isn't that right, Chairman, that's what he told me at that time, and it's not an exaggeration at all."
"No smoking, less drinking, no nightclubs and gambling."Zhou Xu couldn't help but say discipline again,"If you can do this, your future achievements will be like this, super super invincible superstar."
"What about doing that kind of thing? Stones asked.
Zhou Xu kicked Stones,"Milly is a good girl. You can't let her down. Do you hear me?""
Zhou Xu remembered that Stones in his previous life was just a big scumbag,"Maguire, supervise him, this B is too carefree. Maguire nodded.
"How's it going with Fern?"Zhou Xu couldn't help but start gossiping.
Maguire suddenly blushed, and his whole head looked like a bubble teapot."Chairman, we are almost at the base. Get ready to get off. I am a little tired after signing so many names. I am so sleepy."
"Ha ha ha ha."The bus suddenly became filled with joy, dispelling the haze of losing the game.
