Chapter 628: 3 Consecutive FA Cup Titles

Soon, the first half came to an end, and some Manchester United fans had already begun to leave their seats, preparing to go to the bathroom to release the water that had accumulated during the first half of the game and prepare for the second half and the subsequent awards ceremony.

At this time, on the court, McCarthy's long shot caused De Gea to take away. Cone's follow-up shot was blocked by Evans with his leg and went out of the baseline. Wigan got a corner kick opportunity.

Wigan took a tactical corner kick. After several passes, the football reached McManaman's feet. He tried to cut inside and suddenly passed the ball diagonally to the wing. Espinoza jumped in and hoisted the football into the penalty area.

Maloney, who was in the front, pushed the ball, and the ball fell to the top of the penalty area. Cone rushed there, controlled the ball under his feet, and Ferdinand was guarding him.

Ferdinand did not rush forward rashly, but stood behind Cone, preventing him from turning around easily. As long as he could not turn around, his threat to Manchester United's goal could be minimized.

Cone felt the pressure from behind. Ferdinand was an experienced player. While holding Cone, his steps tended to move inwards, which ensured that he could turn around at any time to block Cone's possible attempts. Turn around.

The two men did not have a quiet physical confrontation, and their hands were not honest. Ferdinand grabbed Cone's jersey, and the latter also grabbed Ferdinand's shorts.

Suddenly, Cone's hand pulling on Ferdinand's shorts suddenly tugged down. Ferdinand was suddenly attacked and subconsciously let go of Cone's hand to lift up the shorts. At this moment, Cone thrust his butt, causing Ferdinand to stumble. He also completed a turn, and then directly kicked his right foot.

The embarrassed Ferdinand subconsciously stretched his legs to block the ball, and the football bounced up after being blocked. Then people saw the open arms of Evra who came to fill the position. There was no way to avoid it and it hit the football.

Handball!

Handball in the penalty area!

"Penalty kick!" Cone's eyes lit up and his expression was excited. He raised one of his arms and shouted, signaling the opponent's handball to the referee. He roared and his expression was even ferocious.

There is no doubt that the referee could not have missed such an obvious handball. Referee Oliver's whistle sounded, he pointed firmly at the penalty spot, and then showed a yellow card to the unlucky Evra.

"Oh oh oh! Oliver gave a penalty kick. He thought Evra had a handball in the penalty area and he gave it a penalty kick!"

"Poor Evra, he came to help defend, but he didn't expect the football to change and fly directly towards him. He couldn't avoid it at all, and the football hit his raised arm."

"Thanks to Cone for this penalty, this is his chance to fight!" Lineker said.

"Yes." John Mortensen also said, "Cone did not give up when it seemed that he did not have a good chance. He successfully completed the turn, and then his shot was blocked by Ferdinand and caused E Fola's handball! Cone took the most credit for this penalty."

"Wigan got a great opportunity. They got a penalty kick. If the penalty kick was scored, they would only be one goal behind and there would be a chance in the second half!"

………………

Manchester United players are protesting. There is no controversy about the penalty kick. What the Manchester United players are protesting is not the penalty kick. What they are protesting is the yellow card given to Evra. They think a penalty kick is enough. This is not a malicious handball by Evra. It is indeed a dodge. Failure to do so should not result in a yellow card due to extenuating circumstances.

Oliver ignored Manchester United's protest. With a stern expression, he shouted at Manchester United's players to disperse.

"There is no problem with penalty kicks, and there is no problem with yellow cards." Lineker said, "According to the rules, this handball should be given a yellow card. The referee rules do not look at whether you intentionally handballed it, but the result of the matter."

When the referee called the penalty kick, Martinez raised his arms excitedly, and then calmed down. The penalty kick had not been awarded yet, so it was not the time to be happy.

However, Cone soon scored a penalty kick. De Gea was not good at saving penalty kicks.

Faced with a penalty kick taken by Cone that was not of high quality, he still failed to prevent the ball from entering the net.

Martinez was finally able to celebrate, cheering from the sideline with his arms in the air.

The goal also sparked excited cheers from Wigan fans in the stands of the new Wembley Stadium.

The first half ended with a score of 2:1, and Manchester United temporarily took the lead!

………………

Ferguson was very dissatisfied with this conceding goal. Going into the halftime break with a 2:0 lead and going into the halftime break with a 2:1 lead are completely different concepts. Therefore, even though the team was leading, Ferguson still yelled at his players at halftime.

After being scolded by Ferguson for a while, the players were not unhappy, but more unwilling and inspired to fight. They felt that the coach was right. We should have been leading 2:0, but now we are only 2:1. This is not what we should be. We made a mistake. It is really inappropriate.

On the other side, Wigan head coach Robert Martinez was praising the team's performance. He said to the players: "You performed very well, very tenacious! I was even thinking about the second half when we were 0:2 behind. match, 1:2! Very good! You did a great job!"

The players were surprised. They thought the coach would be furious, but they didn't expect Martinez to praise them.

"1:2, only one goal behind! In the second half of the game, we only need to seize one opportunity to equalize the score." Martinez said, "The most important thing in the second half of the game is not to concede any more goals, and at the same time strive to score goals to equalize. score."

The Wigan players listened very carefully. Although the Wigan players were very unhappy with the media's disapproval of them, they also knew very well that facing the powerful Manchester United, their chances of winning were very slim.

If we can tie the score within 90 minutes of regular time, it may be Wigan's chance in overtime.

Especially if the game can be dragged into a penalty shootout, the possibility of Wigan finally defeating Manchester United and winning the first FA Cup championship in the club's history will further increase.

………………

The second half of the game started quickly. Wigan tried a wave of counterattacks at the beginning, but it did not have any effect, and the field fell into a deadlock.

Ferguson was not conservative, and a one-goal lead was not safe. Therefore, Manchester United played more proactively. On the other hand, Wigan had to invest more offensive power after failing to score an equalizing goal as early as they wished. .

Judging from the actual situation, Martinez's tactics have been curbed, and now Wigan can only play at the pace of Manchester United.

In the 66th minute, McManaman swayed Carrick from the right side of the penalty area and then shot with his right foot but Ferdinand fell to the ground and blocked it. Manchester United immediately launched a fast break. As soon as Sneijder received the ball, there were two more defenders beside him. MacArthur was interfering with the Gunners player, and McCarthy also came up to press him. He took action and pulled Sneijder's jersey.

Sneijder was pulled down, and the referee Oliver had already put the whistle in his mouth, preparing to call a foul. However, before he was pulled down, Sneijder still fell to the ground and sent a through ball without losing his center of gravity. The ball was passed down the wing from Wigan.

Oliver did not blow the whistle, he made a gesture, the offense was favorable, and the game continued.

Bell received Sneijder's pass, got rid of Wigan's defenders with one pull and one dunk, and completed a high-quality cross. Van Persie's accurate judgment of the landing point helped him finish in front of Alcaraz. If Robles hadn't made a world-class save, Wigan's goal might have been breached again.

Martinez was so dissatisfied with the team's defense that he roared loudly on the sidelines.

………………

Manchester United continued to attack and became more and more threatening to Wigan's goal.

In the 79th minute of the game, Manchester United got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Sneijder drove the football into the penalty area, and Evans' header was saved by the goalkeeper. However, the football did not come out, which caused chaos in the Wigan penalty area.

In the chaos, Bell in the small penalty area held up Sharna. He pulled the ball with the inside of his foot and beautifully avoided Alcaraz's grab on the other side. Then with his back to the goal, he deftly Knock with your heel to trigger a killing blow at the same time.

Among the countless human legs, the football strangely found a way to the goal, hit the inside of the far post, and then bounced into the goal!

3:1!

While Bell scored twice, he also scored the goal that sealed the victory for Manchester United!

"Gooooooooooooooooaaaaaallllllllll!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Bell! There was a flash of cold light among the chaotic army!" Zhan Jun jumped up and shouted excitedly, "This is the shooter, this is the nature of the killer! Sharna and Alcaraz have done a good enough job, but they still I can’t guard against Bell!”

At this time, when the goal was replayed in slow motion, Zhan Jun's eyes lit up and he said loudly: "Beautiful! Bell's pull of the ball was very clever, and he made a huge move. This made Sharna, a veteran on the battlefield, unable to do anything. Alcala Zi was also dodged by this, and the last heel shot was the finishing touch! This ball is so beautiful!"

The moment the killer shot was triggered, Bell knew that the ball was there. Although at that time, he couldn't be sure whether he had a shooting route even from God's perspective, but he just had to believe in the ball saint system.

With a sure blow, it's impossible not to score!

The game finally ended with a score of 31. Even after Evra accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off, Wigan could not change the final result.

As Manchester United lifted the FA Cup trophy at the new Wembley Stadium for three consecutive seasons, Manchester United also completed the domestic treble again.

This is the second time that Manchester United has accomplished this great feat in three seasons, and it is also the third time in Bell's career that he has accomplished this great feat.

And if Manchester United can finally lift the Champions League trophy here in two weeks, then Manchester United will complete three consecutive Champions League titles, plus defend the Triple Crown for three consecutive years!
