Evra took a short free kick from the backcourt to Giggs.
Giggs dribbled the ball down the left side, and Southampton's right winger Schneiderlin and Ward-Prowse, who had just come on, double-teamed Giggs at the same time.
Schneiderlin tried his best to use his body to fight against Giggs, while Ward-Prowse seemed a little impatient and nervous, and his movements were relatively large.
Giggs used his ability to fight calmly and pushed Schneiderlin away, then he passed the ball through the crotch and got past the reckless Ward-Prowse!
Southampton's right side was penetrated by Giggs! Fortunately, Mikel made up for it in time and blocked Giggs from continuing to penetrate! Gu Ran also sprinted over from the far end, ready to confront Giggs head-on!
At this point, Giggs certainly didn't dare to confront Gu Ran head-on, so before Gu Ran rushed over, Giggs half-turned to protect the ball and held off Mikel, then saw the right moment and passed the ball back to Evra who was behind him! Although this was a back pass, it was a very beautiful pass, once again penetrating the gap between Schneiderlin and Ward-Prowse.
After Evra got the ball, he immediately dribbled and cut across! Gu Ran also changed his line and blocked Evra! Ferguson in the technical area on the sidelines yelled and asked Evra to move quickly! At this time, Southampton's left side was a weak area. Evra made a long diagonal pass and transferred the ball to the left side of Southampton! Nani ran out of the gap and got Evra's pass at the first time! Chamberlain and Hammond chased Nani with all their might. Chamberlain even stretched out his arm to pull Nani down! It was dangerous to foul at this time, but it was better than Nani dribbling the ball into the penalty area and diving himself! However, Nani was very fast!
Almost in an instant, Nani dribbled the ball into the left side of Southampton's penalty area!
Fonte came forward to block Nani! Goalkeeper Davis also got into position in advance.
Rooney and Little Pea also opened up space on the other side of the penalty area! Gu Ran quickly retreated to the middle of the penalty area, ready to intercept the cross! All the fans in the stands held their breath! This will be the moment that determines the outcome of this FA Cup match! Nani did not choose to cross the ball, but instead tapped his toes and shook his body. The next moment after shaking off Fonte, Nani kicked directly and shot at a small angle!
Davis misjudged the direction and fell to the lower left of the goal. However, when he fell, he stretched out his foot to block the ball! The football hit Davis' calf exactly! It bounced out of the small penalty area! Davis's defense was amazing! Of course, there was definitely an element of luck involved!
Not to mention that Manchester United fans were stunned, even Southampton fans couldn't believe Davis' performance!
The ball is not dead yet! The two sides started a melee on the right side of the penalty area! Mikel and Rooney collided with each other and both fell to the ground!
However, neither the referee nor the linesman could understand what was happening in the penalty area, nor did they dare to make arbitrary decisions at this time, so they could only wait for the situation to become clear.
When Mikel fell to the ground, he reached out and pulled Rooney to prevent him from getting up. At the same time, he fiercely used his toes to poke the football that was pressing on Rooney's arm away!
In this wave of defense, Mikel was a complete villain, but thanks to villains like Mikel, Southampton was not crushed!
The ball that Mikel poked away was not a good one. The ball rolled crookedly to the feet of Scholes, who had already calculated the position! Scholes was ready to kick in the chaos! Gu Ran sprinted in a violent and aesthetic way, and directly made a death sliding tackle in the penalty area! The ball under Scholes' feet was shoveled away! Gu Ran's tackle was fierce and accurate, and he didn't touch Scholes! Scholes retracted his foot in time and didn't kick Gu Ran, otherwise Gu Ran would definitely be injured!
Although it was an FA Cup final that was so tense that it was suffocating, and although both sides competed fiercely during the game, players on both sides maintained the most basic bottom line of sportsmanship.
After Gu Ran shoveled the ball away, it flew rapidly towards the sideline.
Chamberlain was extremely fast and rushed forward to save the ball.
In order to save the ball, Chamberlain twisted his body and stepped on the ball at high speed. Finally, the ball stayed on the boundary line, but Chamberlain himself hit the electronic billboard uncontrollably.
Berbatov was as elegant as a vampire, with almost no expression on his face.
When the camera cut back, Hammond had already passed the ball to Gu Ran, who stood up and blocked Scholes.
When Gu Ran got the ball, Scholes tried his best to stop Gu Ran and even put his hands around Gu Ran's waist!
Gu Ran couldn't get rid of it for a while, so he could only kick his heel and pass the ball to Lallana who came to receive it! After Lallana got the ball, he immediately sprinted at full speed!
Manchester United players retreated frantically!
At this time, Manchester United's physical strength has reached its limit, but no one in Manchester United is falling behind at this time! Even center forward Rooney and Little Pea are desperately returning to defense! Scholes and Carrick are even more tightly blocking Gu Ran, not allowing Gu Ran any chance to sprint! It has to be said that Manchester United in this era is really passionate! Very Red Devils!
but……
Under the double blockade of Scholes and Carrick, Gu Ran used his physical confrontation and explosive speed to pull Scholes and Carrick to the ground! Carrick raised his hand to appeal to the referee! But the referee ignored Carrick's appeal! It was Carrick and Scholes who fouled Gu Ran first, especially Carrick, who almost jumped on Gu Ran's back to stop Gu Ran's attack. It was good enough that the referee did not give Carrick a card.
Scholes fell to the ground, looking at Gu Ran walking away, his eyes full of despair.
Gu Ran sprinted to the front of the penalty area in one breath.
At this time, Manchester United had basically completed their defensive position.
Lallana and Schneiderlin made a pass and almost lost the ball. Fortunately, Schneiderlin fell to the ground and passed the ball to Lallana.
As it turned out, without Gu Ran's participation in the offense, Southampton really had no offensive power.
But fortunately, Gu Ran got rid of the entanglement of Scholes and Carrick in time and came to the frontcourt!
Lallana didn't hesitate and kicked the ball horizontally to Gu Ran.
After Gu Ran got the ball, he immediately crossed to the left side, while Chamberlain, who was in front of the left side, actively ran to the baseline and made a gesture to cut into the small penalty area! Manchester United's defensive players shrank their defense! Rooney also chased Gu Ran to intercept and defend!
