As the absolute boss of Manchester United and a godfather-type head coach, a score of 2:2 was enough for Ferguson to give the team a "hair dryer" reprimand.

But in fact, Ferguson himself knew that the goal was not the fault of the Manchester United players, but because Gu Ran was too difficult to defend.

Gu Ran was not at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Giggs. With Mikel's timely assistance, it was normal for him to steal the ball from Giggs.

Gu Ran was running wildly in the midfield and Fletch was unable to defend against him. Players in other positions were also unable to assist Fletch in time, so Fletch could only watch Gu Ran shake him off and run straight into the empty space in the middle.

Lallana's cross was not very impressive, or even accurate, which resulted in Gu Ran having to compete for the high ball between two world-class central defenders. However, Gu Ran was able to increase his sprint speed to the extreme, then leap into the air and hook the ball sideways over the two world-class central defenders!

If Gu Ran is replaced in any of the above links, Southampton will have no chance of success.

But Southampton just has Gu Ran.

It's like having a crappy tractor with a V16 engine.

No matter how broken or shabby this tractor is, its engine is a 16-cylinder one. Even if the entire Manchester United team were racing cars, they would not be able to catch up with it.

Ferguson couldn't help but sigh secretly: If I had known this would happen, I should have adopted the advice of scout Jim Lawler earlier and spent a large price to buy Gu Ran before Gu Ran grew up.

At first, I thought a pure rookie player from China was not worth a price of one hundred thousand. In the blink of an eye, this Chinese player was worth one million pounds. In the blink of an eye again, this Chinese player was worth tens of millions of pounds. In the blink of an eye again... he was almost a priceless treasure.

Of course, the more priceless the treasure is, the more only Manchester United deserves it! Ferguson looked at Gu Ran, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness:

When the new season's summer transfer window begins, Manchester United must make signing Gu Ran their top priority! The game continues.

The two sides are back on the same starting line.

Of course, judging from the situation and data of the game, Manchester United still has an absolute advantage.

Manchester United's ball possession rate is over 76% so far, and the number of shots has reached a terrifying 22 times.

On the other hand, Southampton had a ball possession rate of less than 24%. From the start of the first half to 60 minutes into the second half, Southampton had only seven shots, of which only four were on target. However, two of these four shots resulted in two goals.

In terms of the strength of the two teams, Manchester United at this period was definitely the overlord of the Premier League and even the Champions League, so theoretically speaking, there was not much suspense about Manchester United winning Southampton.

But the game so far has left everyone with a shocking feeling.

Southampton is indeed not as strong as Manchester United, and they are indeed being suppressed by Manchester United. Their defense is ugly, and can even be described as shameless. However, no one can deny the super resilience of the Southampton team! The score of 2:2 is proof of this! With the defensive resilience of the Southampton team, coupled with Gu Ran's super conversion in defense and offense, this Southampton team really has a chance to overturn the powerful Manchester United.

Southampton now only needs to fight on one front! Today's FA Cup final is their last game before the season break! In addition to this game, Manchester United will also have to play two tough games for the Premier League championship, a Champions League semi-final, and the Champions League final.

Manchester United is fighting on three fronts.

No matter how strong a team is, it will show signs of fatigue when fighting on three fronts.

After 60 minutes, Manchester United's physical and mental disadvantages began to be exposed.

Southampton continued to defend steadily, and on the offensive end they only used the cooperation of Gu Ran, Lallana and Chamberlain to seek opportunities. Once there were not enough opportunities or more defense was needed, Gu Ran and others would never take risks.

Of course, Manchester United did not want to give up the FA Cup championship that was within their grasp, so they continued to intensify their offensive.

In the 63rd minute, Manchester United pressed forward as a whole.

Giggs made an effective breakthrough on the wing, and after going down the flank, he passed the ball back while being double-teamed by two Southampton defenders. Rooney stopped the ball and shot from 25 yards, but the ball went over the goal.

In the 67th minute, Scholes passed the ball to the right. Nani was blocked by Gu Ran after getting the ball. Nani did not dare to dive, but he could not beat Gu Ran, so he could only hastily pass the ball to the Little Pea who came up to support.

After getting the ball, Little Pea stopped and passed, and passed Chamberlain who came forward to intercept, but was tackled and flew into the air by Lambert who followed closely to assist in defense.

Lambert also received a yellow card.

But this yellow card was necessary.

If the Pea was allowed to pass through and make a through pass, Rooney, who was in a fatal position, would probably seize the opportunity to complete a hat trick.

So, sometimes, when it’s time to do the dirty work, you have to step up and do the dirty work.

After Lambert received the yellow card, Gu Ran and others high-fived Lambert to show their appreciation.

Because of Lambert's foul, Manchester United also won a free kick on the right side, 40 meters away from the goal.

Scholes stood on the penalty spot and took the free kick.

Southampton quickly formed a human wall.

Manchester United's tall defenders also penetrated into the penalty area, waiting for header opportunities.

Scholes glanced at the wall of players, then took a run-up and kicked the ball.

The football fell accurately towards the front point of the goal like a cannonball.

There was chaos in the penalty area. Vidic jumped high under the blocking of Jaidi and headed the ball!

The football was placed in front of the right goal post——

When the ball was about to go out of bounds, Nani rushed over quickly and raised his foot to touch it under the double-teaming of three Southampton players! The ball immediately changed direction and rolled towards the near corner of the goal at a small angle! Goalkeeper Davis was helpless——

The ball went in! The referee signaled that the goal was valid! The Manchester United fans in the stands cheered wildly! The score on the big screen at Wembley Stadium was rewritten again! Manchester United 3:2 Southampton! Under the crazy attack, Manchester United finally opened the door to Southampton with a set piece!

It's Scholes again! Both of Manchester United's goals after Scholes came on the pitch were related to Scholes' instigation!

Scholes's set-piece was very accurate, Vidic's header was good even when he lost his balance, and Nani's insertion was also very agile! Manchester United's set-piece offensive coordination level is absolutely world-class! After all, Southampton's players are much weaker than Manchester United, especially in the ability to grasp the moment!

However, the game is not over yet!

The score of 3:2 is definitely not the end! ... (End of this chapter)
