Chapter 592
After the 15-minute halftime break, the players from both teams returned to the green field and stood in their respective halves.
The expressions of the Watford players were different.
Confused, flustered, confused, and lost.
The huge Wembley Stadium, with the gazes of more than 90,000 fans, made them feel like grilled fish on an iron plate.
The side that was grilled in the first half.
In the second half, it turned over and continued to be tortured.
The referee looked down at the watch.
Prepared to blow the whistle.
The live director's camera was aimed at a heavyweight audience in the stands today.
William Arthur Philip Louis.
He also has a familiar name, Prince William.
The first heir to the British royal family also serves as the chairman of the English Football Association.
Prince William saw his figure appear on the big screen.
He smiled and waved.
Wembley Stadium immediately rang with cheers.
However, as the referee blew the whistle.
Everyone's attention quickly returned to the court. Even Prince William could only play a supporting role in this FA Cup final that attracted national attention.
Prince William stared at Su Fei on the court with envy, and whispered to his girlfriend Caitlin Delton beside him.
"If possible, I really want to exchange identities with that No. 9."
"You are talking nonsense again, Louis."
"Haha, let's continue to see how crazy that little guy will be in the second half."
......................................................
On the court, the game continued.
Watford has the ball.
In the second half, Boothroyd not only made substitutions, but also changed the team's original 442 to 541 formation.
Compared with the balanced 442 in offense and defense, 541 is a standard positional counterattack formation.
Boothroyd did not expect the team to play a beautiful counterattack, and he did not even imagine any epic reversal.
He only had one belief to convey to the players in the midfield.
That is to keep the score of 5:0 until the last minute of the game, which is the biggest victory.
"The only thing we can do now is to let all the fans who support us see our attitude and changes."
Although that's what he said.
But all Watford people know that after this game, coupled with the relegation to the Championship as the second-to-last team this season.
Next season.....
Perhaps it will be difficult for Vicarage Road Stadium to guarantee an attendance rate of 80% or even 70%.
The fans must be extremely disappointed.
.........................................................
"The second half has started for 5 minutes."
"Manchester City's offensive has changed a lot."
"Breakthrough on the wing..."
"Penetration in the midfield..."
"Various combinations..."
"Watford changed its defensive strategy in the second half and strengthened its regional defense. Manchester City is also adapting and actively looking for loopholes in Watford's defense."
"Manchester City sent us a signal."
"Even though they are already leading by 5 goals."
"They still want to score another goal..."
As Wang Tao's voice fell in the ESPN live broadcast room, the situation on the court suddenly changed.
On the right side of the front court.
Knight pressed closely against Watford's right back Doyle who was dribbling the ball.
He kicked out like lightning.
He destroyed the ball from Doyle's feet.
Then Knight accelerated and successfully got the ball behind Doyle before he turned around and took possession of the ball.
"Mistake!!"
"Doyle made a fatal mistake!!"
"The ball was lost near the baseline!!"
"Manchester City got a chance to counterattack in the frontcourt!"
"Look at this ball..."
The Watford players immediately rushed back to defend and squeezed into the team's penalty area.
Stand in the penalty area first.
Doyle turned around and wanted to steal Knight to redeem his lost ball.
Result.
However, his body slipped and lost balance under Knight's continuous left and right fake moves.
Knight also seized this gap.
Stretch his feet.
Dribble the ball past Doyle and dribble horizontally along the baseline.
Knight near the right side of the penalty area.
Did not choose to continue to break through.
Instead, he suddenly turned back and passed the ball to Modric who was following in the right rib area.
Modric faced the ground ball.Left foot shot.
"Bang!"
The football arced in the air, flew over the heads of a group of Watford players, and went straight to the blind corner of the goal.
This ball.
Even Watford goalkeeper Foster was desperate.
His vision was blocked.
Modric's kick was also tricky enough, aiming close and hitting far.
But the crossbar saved Watford's life.
The football hit the crossbar.
Flying out of the bottom line.
"Oh, what a pity!!"
"Modric's pursuit of this kick is still too extreme."
"A little lower."
"It should have gone in."
"Watford escaped."
There was a cry of surprise at Wembley Stadium, not only from the Blue Moon fans, but also from the Hornets fans.
Modric showed an annoyed expression.
When Su Fei returned to defense, he rubbed the head of the little Modric.
"It's not your fault for this ball, Knight's pass was not good."
Modric didn't say anything.
Knight, who was also defending next to him, was injured when he heard this.
"Hey! Don't comfort me like this, you are too biased, Su!"
........................................................
Manchester City's next few attacks were just like Modric's goal, lacking a bit of luck.
53rd minute of the game.
Sun Jihai dribbled the ball in, made a long pass from the side, and lobbed it high to the top of the penalty area. Su Fei headed the ball to the right. Cassano, who rushed over, volleyed at an extreme angle.
The ball hit the side net.
Watford goalkeeper Foster, who fell to the ground, climbed up panting, with lingering fear.
......
61st minute of the game.
Manchester City's frontcourt made continuous short passes to pull Watford's defense. Martinez passed the ball to Modric, Modric passed the ball to Bale, and Bale passed the ball to Cassano.
Cassano made a long pass from the right side, the ball crossed the half court and found Knight on the left side.
Knight made a diagonal pass to the penalty area, Su Fei shot the ball, the ball hit Watford central defender Shitu, and then was cleared out of the danger zone by Watford midfielder Buaza who returned to the penalty area.
......
The 67th minute of the game.
Cassano, on the right side of the penalty area, performed a good show. Under the double attack of Doyle and Smith, he stumbled and stumbled, and brought the ball into the penalty area from the gap and shot at the near corner.
However, the Barry boy failed to exert force on this ball, and the ball was saved by Watford goalkeeper Foster.
......
When the game entered the 70th minute, although the physical strength declined, Manchester City's offensive firepower remained unabated.
Watford's goal was shaky.
Blue Moon fans were looking forward to who in the team could stand up and further destroy Watford's fighting spirit.
The answer is of course...
73rd minute of the game.
Modric pushed forward and pulled the ball away from Smith, who was defending him. He raised his left foot and kicked the ball with the outside of his foot.
"Bang!"
The ball drew an L-shaped arc in the air.
