From the man behind the football king to the football king

Pierre looked at the bench, and the French head coach was inexplicably a little irritated.

He glanced at Manchester United's bench and felt envious.

Manchester United's bench also had offensive players such as Rooney, Rashford, Gundogan, and Fellaini.

What about his Southampton? Only Boufal and Sean Long were trustworthy on the bench.

"Let Boufal and Sean Long warm up." Pierre said after thinking for a moment.

Three minutes later, Southampton requested a substitution, and Boufal replaced Tadic.

Seeing this substitution at Southampton, Mourinho smiled inexplicably. He took advantage of a dead ball opportunity and called the team's central defender Van Dijk to the sidelines to give instructions: "Pay attention to Raymond's pass. Tell others to pay attention to Boufal's cut-in."

Carrick received Rojo's pass, turned around, pulled the ball to avoid Romeu's grab, looked up in front, and passed the ball directly to Mata.

………………

On the left side of Southampton, it was another scene. Boufal dribbled the ball several times on the wing, but he didn't send a cross at the critical moment. The final result of his dribbling forward was either being disrupted by Manchester United's defensive players, or he barely sent a pass without any threat after dribbling into a dead end.

"It was wonderful. Mata couldn't stop it today." Gary Lineker exclaimed.

He knew Raymond very well. He was fast and had strong impact, but his cross level was really average.

"The fourth one! Herrera scored!"

Raymond came up to defend him, and he chased him from the side and back, intending to overtake and then steal the ball.

The game was in the 71st minute, and the score on the field was still 2:1, with Manchester United leading.

The gesture means don't rush, don't panic.

Fellaini's header was punched out by Fraser Forster.

Mourinho walked to the sidelines, clapped his hands, shouted, and gestured.

Davis came to make up for the defense, but he jumped too hard. Mata saw the opportunity, stopped suddenly, dunked, and broke through. Then, facing Raymond who rushed over again, the Spaniard knocked the ball with his heel and turned halfway to pass Raymond for the second time.

Pierre was so angry that his face turned blue on the sidelines, while Mourinho covered his mouth and laughed.

When the game reached the 88th minute, Southampton scored a goal.

Raymond also quickly moved his center of gravity and wanted to grab the ball for the second time.

As for Buffal, the previous match with Southampton made him notice the characteristics of this player. He would not be willing to send a cross unless he could not continue to dribble the ball.

Mourinho hugged Ibrahimovic, and then he made a steady gesture to the field again.

Ten minutes later, the score on the field was still 3:1, and Manchester United led Southampton by two goals.

Maya Yoshida reacted in time. He fell to the ground to tackle, but he just barely touched the football and did not completely clear it.

Manchester United fans applauded warmly and cheered for Mata's wonderful performance.

Pierre sent Boufar to play on the two flanks with Raymond. The idea was good. Both of them had the ability to attack on the flanks, but the result was... not satisfactory.

"Beautiful!"

The Spanish midfielder was in excellent form today. Ibrahimovic's goal before was also due to his wide-view diagonal pass.

Mourinho also completed Manchester United's second substitution today. Rashford came on as a substitute, replacing Lingard.

Bertrand came up to defend Mata.

The football passed through the intersection of the goal post and the crossbar and hung into the net.

At the same time, Mourinho made a substitution, Fellaini came on as a substitute, and Ibrahimovic was replaced.

"Herrera!"

Mata was very excited after scoring the goal. He tore his jersey hard, ran, shouted, and then he was thrown to the ground by his teammates who rushed over.

Facing a half-empty goal, Herrera easily pushed the ball into the goal.

Boufar passed the ball, and Gabiadini scored with a clever header, changing the score to 2:3.

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster tried his best to save the ball, but faced with such an arc, he was completely helpless.

The football bypassed everyone in the penalty area, and in a large arc in the air, it was about to spin out of the goal, but at the speed of the ball approaching the goal, it spun inward.

"Juan Mata... beautiful goal! In the 72nd minute, he defeated Southampton alone! This Spaniard who was cleared out of Chelsea and came to Manchester United, he used such a wonderful goal to change the score to 3:1!!!" Lineker exclaimed excitedly, "Leo, Alan, I bet this goal will definitely be selected as one of the top ten goals of the season! It's so beautiful! Southampton's defensive players have no way to deal with this ball!"

Pierre applauded on the sidelines, and the French head coach showed a venting smile on his face.

Gabiadini's double goal made him exhale a long breath of foul air.

In this game, Southampton was almost completely suppressed by Manchester United. Although this was related to his hiding some of the main players, it still made him feel very frustrated.

This goal was a complete reflection of the star's personal ability.

………………

Bertrand immediately moved his body, ready to intercept at any time. Then, Bertrand widened his eyes and saw a scene that stunned him: Mata did not choose to break through, he pulled the ball along, adjusted it, then pushed the ground with his right foot, and swung his left foot to kick the ball!

Bertrand rushed forward almost desperately, intending to block the shot, but it was too late. The football flew past Bertrand's face, drawing a strange arc.

Southampton's attack revolves around two wings. Raymond tried several passes from the right, but the quality of the crosses was indeed quite average. Van Dijk successfully fought for the top and gave Raymond no chance to pose a threat.

Mata flicked the football with his left foot and made a gesture ready to break through.

Facing goalkeeper Fraser Forster, Rashford shot low. Fraser Forster stretched his leg to block it, and the football rolled to the side.

Mata hooked the football back before it was about to leave the sideline and stopped steadily.

With this completely desperate style of play, Southampton's back was wide open.

After leading 2:1, Manchester United shrank its defense and began to fight Southampton's counterattack, and then the audience saw a very interesting scene.

For Southampton, there is no essential difference between losing 2:3 or 2:4: they both lost the championship.

"GOOOOOOOOOALLLLL!!!!!"

Gabbiadini's goal gave Southampton hope of equalizing the score. They almost came out in full force with little time left.

The penalty created by Lingard came from a pass from Ibrahimovic, and Ibrahimovic also scored a goal. The Swede is a big contributor to Manchester United today.

"The game is not over yet! It's not over yet!" Southampton's commentator shouted excitedly, "It's just Southampton time!"

………………

At more than 70 minutes, 3:1, this goal is equivalent to adding a key weight to the championship balance!

He turned his head and glanced at the Southampton coach not far to his right and said that he felt happy when he saw Pierre furious.

………………

The football was blocked by Romeu's outstretched leg, causing it to change direction.

In fact, Southampton's defense did not make any obvious mistakes in the process of conceding the ball. The goal was conceded only because Mata's personal ability and condition were too strong.

I saw Mata calmly hooking the football back with his right foot, and then pushing with his left foot. The football rolled forward from Raymond's side. Then, he twisted his waist and passed from Raymond's side. Breakthrough.

Mourinho also applauded from the sidelines.

Mourinho stood up from the coaching bench and waved his fist vigorously.

In the commentary box, the commentators were still praising Mata with various words of praise and modifiers, praising how beautiful this goal was.

At this time, in the penalty area, Herrera, Ibrahimovic and Lingard were all running forward quickly.

Mata also noticed Raymond approaching him at high speed. He calculated correctly that Raymond was approaching him and was about to steal the ball when he suddenly stopped.

Mata got the ball and he was about to take a long shot, but suddenly he hit a through ball!

The football rolled past Steffens' feet, and Steffens didn't react at all.

Because of this, Pierre was even more unhappy because he didn't know who to scold.

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster was a little nervous and shouted loudly to direct the team's defense.

………………

……………………

"Wow... beautiful!"

Manchester United fans applauded Lingard. The performance of the little prince of Wembley today cannot be said to be amazing, but it is still remarkable. Not only did he score a penalty of his own making, he also played a very important role in Manchester United's attack later on.

"Gabbiadini! The Italian scored twice!"

The space was quickly seized by Manchester United, who are good at seizing opportunities. Carrick made a long pass from the backcourt to find Rashford. The Manchester United youngster dribbled the ball along the left wing and passed the ball into the penalty area.

Pierre was indeed very angry, and the reason for his anger was not even because of the team's defensive problems.

All Manchester United fans stood up, applauded and paid tribute to Ibrahimovic.

"4:2! This is the goal that completely kills the game!"

Rashford stepped out from behind the defender and caught up with the ball in stride.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLL!!!!"

"Nice breakthrough, Mata! He showed superb passing skills."

Bertrand knew that Mata had excellent skills with his feet. He did not take any shots blindly. Instead, he stared at Mata's feet and was always wary of the opponent's movements.

At this time, there was no need to worry about defense.

Mata flicked the football and then accelerated to break along the wing.

Lingard left the field with a smile on his face. Mourinho high-fived him, put his arm around his shoulders, whispered and praised him.

Now Manchester United is still leading by one goal and there is not much game time left. There is no need to mess up the position.

"2:4! There is no time, Southampton lost the final!"

"The game is over! The suspense is over! Behind two goals, with only two minutes left, Southampton will never be able to complete the comeback no matter what!"
