The latest website: Because of the fierce battle with Sevilla at the Pizjuan Stadium in the middle of the week, coupled with the travel, Ye Su once again carried out a certain degree of rotation on the lineup. The main personnel changes appeared in the midfield and defense. Basically no adjustments were made. Goalkeeper De Gea, Luke Shaw, Maguire, Van Dijk and Kyle Walker form the back line, Kanter serves as a single midfielder, Lingard and Bruno Fernandez form a double midfielder, and the front trident is pulled The combination of Shford, Harry Kane and Martial. On the bench, there are Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Mata, De Bruyne, Phil Jones, Coulibaly and Romero.

Other Manchester United first-team players also went to London with the team, but because they did not enter the squad, they could only cheer for the team in the stands.

Ye Su's mind is to use a young striker to charge first, but if things go wrong, Rooney, Ibrahimovic, Mata, De Bruyne and other powerful players will be his trump cards.

He has already entered the finals, and he is bound to win this championship trophy.

Southampton has nothing to desire in the Premier League this season. In the 5th round of the FA Cup, they were swept by Arsenal 5:0 at home and were eliminated. The League Cup has become their only hope, so they are very concerned about this The preparations for the game are also very sufficient, and I decided to wrestle with Manchester United.

However, in the opening stage, Manchester United still suppressed the Saints with their skillful offensive cooperation and slightly better strength.

In the stands of the new Wembley Stadium, Manchester United fans were also mobilized by the team's offensive early on, suppressing the slightly disadvantaged Southampton fans.

………………

United had a superb strike in the fourth minute when Harry Kane pulled out of the box and in turn the Southampton defender.

Bruno Fernandez rushed to the front of the penalty area. Seeing a good opportunity, after receiving a pass from Rashford, he suddenly took a long shot.

This shot was powerful and heavy, and went straight to the middle of the goal.

Southampton's goalkeeper Fraser Foster faced this powerful long-range shot. He didn't dare to choose to hug the ball. He chose to hit the ball with both fists to the side, which resolved Manchester United's attack.

Bruno Fernandez hugged his head with some regrets. His shot felt very good, but there was a slight problem with his foot control, which caused the shot angle to be slightly right and failed to score.

More than 50,000 Manchester United fans in the new Wembley Stadium applauded and cheered for their players' wonderful shots.

Yesu also applauded Bruno Fernandes' shot from the sidelines.

It was a shot of high quality and if Southampton's goalkeeper had to deal with a slight appearance problem, it would have been there.

………………

After overcoming Manchester United's opening onslaught, Southampton also began to counterattack, and the pace of the game became faster.

In the 11th minute, there was a controversial scene on the field. Southampton's Portuguese international right back Cedric Suarez assisted and stepped forward to steal Manchester United's left central defender Maguire. Then Cedric cut into the right side of the penalty area and made a cross , Gabbiadini blocked the ball into the goal guarded by De Gea in front of the goal.

Southampton players ran to the corner flag, ready to celebrate the goal. But I didn't expect that it was not the whistle that the goal was valid, but the goal was invalid.

It turned out that the referee was prompted by the linesman that Southampton had been offside before scoring.

The Southampton players were very annoyed by this penalty. The always elegant French coach Claude Puel almost jumped up on the sidelines.

Southampton's outrage was justified, as the slow motion showed that Southampton did have players in an offside position when Cedric Suarez passed the ball, but it wasn't the No. 20 Italian striker Gabbiadini who shot. It was No. 22 Nathan Raymond. When Gabbiadini shot, the right center back Van Dijk, who was behind Manchester United, was basically on the same level.

It can be said that Manchester United temporarily escaped by relying on the referee's misjudgment.

Ye Su was a little dissatisfied with the performance of the defense line. He walked to the sidelines and used gestures to remind the defense players to concentrate and not to make such mistakes again.

Harry Maguire is tall so he has an advantage in fighting for high-altitude balls. At the same time, he has outstanding foot skills, can control the ball and advance forward, and at the same time has a strong ability to read the game, has a strong sense of presence on the field, can remain calm under high pressure, calm when holding the ball, and can play a role in both his own side and the opponent's penalty area . When the team is behind, he can turn into a midfielder and make a difference for the team. His set-pieces, especially his header ability, are very strong.

Tall and muscular physique, the negative impact on Harry Maguire is that it turns a little slower. And because he likes to take the ball forward, there is often a large space behind him. Once he is intercepted by the opponent, the situation just now is likely to occur.

………………

It is said that if you survive a catastrophe, you will have blessings. Manchester United, which escaped by chance, quickly responded with offense.

In the 19th minute, Southampton's real former Barcelona star Romeu fouled in front of the penalty area, and the referee awarded Manchester United a free kick 25 yards from the goal.

Because Rooney, Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are not on the field, Bruno Fernandez is Manchester United's first set-kick shooter today. He also stood in front of the ball without hesitation. After the referee blew his whistle, Bruno Fernandez chose to shoot directly. The ball flew over Davis' head in the wall and bypassed Fraser Foster's flying save. Ten fingers off, drilled into the lower left corner.

1:0!

United headed past Southampton with a fantastic free-kick from Bruno Fernandes.

The new Wembley Stadium instantly burst into overwhelming cheers, and Manchester United fans rushed out of their seats to celebrate the team's goal.

………………

"A beautiful direct goal from a free kick! Bruno Fernandez has made a contribution!" Zhan Jun shouted in his studio in Beijing.

"Hey hey, Bruno Fernandez's free kick is very tricky and the angle is very tricky. Fraser Foster has no way to do it!" Zhan Jun's partner Director Zhang's very distinctive voice sounded.

"Manchester United has a lot of young talents. Martial, Rashford, and Mbappe, who has been popular in Europe recently, are all superstars who have risen in the past two years. Even Bruno, who has just scored a goal Fernandez is actually very young, only 22 years old. In addition, Harry Kane, De Bruyne, Lingard, Kante, and the entire starting defense today are all born in the 90s, and they will wait until two or three years later , when these people really grow up, their imaginations are terrifying!"

Zhan Jun nodded sympathetically and said: "Zhang Zhi is right. Today's Manchester United team has a very reasonable age structure. There are experienced veterans like Ibrahimovic and Rooney who are still in good condition. There are also Vardy, Players at the age of Mata, De Bruyne, and Kanter, as well as superstars like Martial, Rashford, and Mbappe, it is no wonder that they have been able to play all over Europe in the past two years Invincible."

After a pause, Zhan Jun continued: "It is said that Ye Su Yezhi is a great tactician. He is able to run across Europe because of his training of the team. But I think the most terrifying thing is Ye Zhi's precise vision. None of the players he has brought in to Manchester United over the years have gone astray, and all of them have performed far beyond their worth."

"Even Harry Kane, who was said to be suspected of parallel imports, actually performed very well. The reason why his status in Manchester United is not so obvious is because the two forwards Rooney and Ibrahimovic are too demonic. I was suppressed by Rooney for a year, and when Rooney moved to the right, an older and more demonic Ibrahimovic came again, thinking about it makes my heart ache for Harry Kane."

Zhang Lu smiled and said: "Indeed, Harry Kane is not easy. But I have to say that Ibrahimovic is too demonic. He is 35 years old and almost 36 years old, and he still maintains the world's top level. This simply does not give young people a chance to survive!"

Zhan Jun was also happy, and said with a smile: "Many Manchester United fans thought that Ye Su brought in a striker substitute for free last summer, but they didn't expect Da Feng to come to Manchester United first and turned into a thigh, and even Harry Kane was suppressed by him. Stop. I have a piece of data here. Since Ibrahimovic joined Manchester United last summer, he has played 26 times for Manchester United in various competitions, scored 18 goals, and 8 assists, which is just one goal per game. "

"Of course, Ibrahimovic's role in Manchester United is more than that, and his tactical role is more obvious. In this regard, Harry Kane should really learn from Ibrahimovic. Their positions and roles on the field are actually very consistent. "

………………

Amidst the duo's commentary, the match at the new Wembley Stadium also continued.

The lagging Southampton launched a counterattack and posed a huge threat to Manchester United's goal. But fortunately, Manchester United's defense, led by Kanter, performed very calmly. Coupled with De Gea who is in excellent form, several dangerous situations created by Southampton were resolved by Manchester United one by one.

In the 28th minute, Southampton counterattacked with a long pass from the backcourt. Gabbiadini controlled the ball at the front of the penalty area, blocked Van Dijk with his back, and then passed the ball back. Ward-Prowse found a chance to shoot , 25 yards kicked a strong shot and was saved by De Gea.

In the 32nd minute, Southampton played an efficient attack again. Raymond sent a diagonal pass from the left and found Tadic in front. The latter shot from 20 yards was also blocked by De Gea with his legs.

De Gea's brave performance has increased the confidence of Manchester United players in the defense, and the offense has also threatened.

In the 38th minute of the game, Manchester United played a series of wonderful cooperation on the left side of the front court. Luke Shaw passed the ball to Bruno Fernandez in the middle. The Portuguese made a coquettish back pass, which was full of imagination The pass pierced through Southampton's defense in the middle.

Martial received the ball in front of the left wing and passed the ball to the forward left back Luke Shaw. Luke Shaw dribbled the ball and, after attracting Southampton's defense, distributed the ball to Lingard who advanced in the middle.

At this time, Southampton's defense had fallen apart, and Lingard was completely emptied.

Faced with such a good opportunity, Lingard certainly will not let it go. He easily met Luke Shaw's pass, pushed the ball with one foot, and hit the ball to the far corner of the goal.

There was nothing Fraser Foster could do about such a shot but watch the ball fly past him and into the goal behind him.

2:0, Manchester United entered the end of the first half and expanded the score again.

Southampton's defense sleepwalked in defense of the goal, being dazzled by a Bruno Fernandes pass in midfield, and the last few defenders, facing Martial and Luke Shaw There was another major marking error at the time, which made them lose the last chance to save the team.

………………

But, despite United's two-goal lead, that doesn't mean United have no problems on the pitch. In fact, this problem has always existed, even in the first goal that Manchester United almost lost, but because of Ye Su's reminder from the sidelines, the players made up for this problem.

However, when the first half drew to a close, the previous problems reappeared.

The first half entered the stoppage time period, and Manchester United's defensive players had problems with their attention again. This allowed Southampton's pass from the right to easily penetrate Manchester United's midfield.

Ward Prowse went forward and sent a cross from the bottom of the right. At this moment, Luke Shaw and Maguire seemed to have a collective short-circuit of thinking.

In front of the goal, Southampton's Italian striker Gabbiadini went around in front of Van Dijk, and sent the ball into Manchester United's goal before De Gea fell to the ground to save.

2:1, Southampton regained a victory, and also retained a glimmer of hope to continue competing with Manchester United for the championship.

Ye Su was very angry about Manchester United's conceded goal. Because as long as the Manchester United players remain focused on the field, this conceded goal can be completely avoided.

First, there was a problem with Lingard's defense on the left. Facing the opponent's advance with the ball, his defense was completely symbolic and had no effect at all. And after being bypassed by the opponent's pass, he did not return to the defense immediately, but retreated like a walk, which led to the obvious lack of Manchester United's defense.

Secondly, although Luke Shaw and Maguire defended well at the back, their minds were obviously paralyzed. Facing the opponent's cross, they didn't stretch their feet to clear the siege, but looked to the middle, hoping De Gea confiscated the ball. As a result, Gabbiadini went around and scored the ball first.

In response to these two problems, Ye Su severely criticized the team's defense during the intermission, asking them to maintain a high degree of concentration in the second half and not to give Southampton such an opportunity.
