In the pitch-black universe, a little bit of stars shone, and it seemed extremely quiet.

Accompanied by a classic Star Wars opening song suddenly sounded, a paragraph of text appeared.

"February 28, 2016, Sunday."

In the place where the title of Star Wars was supposed to be, the upper and lower lines appeared, and they were specially modeled after the classic yellow font of Star Wars, with "Southampton" on the top and "Manchester City" below.

This subtitle is so vivid, at first glance, people who don’t know really think it is the title of Star Wars.

Like the classic opening of Star Wars, the two-line subtitles slowly retreat, gradually shrink, and finally disappear.

Then a line of text introduction slowly rose from the bottom of the screen.

"This is an England League Cup championship battle."

"The two teams facing each other are the two teams that have emerged in the Premier League in recent years."

"Saint Southampton is the well-deserved leader of the Premier League. He has set off a huge wave in the Premier League, leading all the way and invincible."

"Blue Moon Manchester City is determined to resist the Saints' rule of the Premier League. After the Premier League is behind by a big score, they launched a fierce attack on the traditional League Cup, intending to shake the Saint's dynasty through the competition for the League Cup. ."

"Taking advantage of Southampton's multi-line combat, only arrangements can be made for rotation and the substitute lineup to play in the League Cup. Manchester City do their best to seize the advantage of the game and kill the Saints in one fell swoop."

"Although Southampton can't do its best, it still has strength."

"At Wembley Stadium in London, the two sides have already geared up, and the battle is about to start..."

As the subtitles gradually receded and disappeared in the end, just like a Star Wars movie, the screen pulled down and directly came a bird's eye view of Wembley Stadium in the night sky.

Then, the scene turned around, and the scene of Ancelotti's interview with the media appeared.

"This will be a very fierce game. Manchester City is determined to win the cup, but I believe that our players will go all out. Regardless of the outcome of the game, I am proud of the performance of this group of young players."

Then Harry Kane appeared in the picture.

The local center, who has shined in the Premier League in the past two seasons, said in front of the camera, "The team has worked very hard, game after game, and finally reached the finals. Everyone hopes to win the championship. "

"Although our opponent is Manchester City, we are determined to win this championship!"

The young teenager in the team, the dark-skinned Martial also appeared in the picture.

"Last season we lost the League Cup, which makes us all feel sad. This season we have made a comeback. We performed better than last season. We firmly believe that the team can beat Manchester City."

Midfielder Kovacic also said, "The game is definitely not easy to play. Manchester City is hopeless to win this season. They definitely hope to win the cup, but we will not let it go easily. We are eager to win this championship! "

...

Yang Huan was sitting in the Royal Box at the Wembley Stadium in London, watching what was playing on the iPad in his hand, the official Southampton fans specially made for the club. The game trailer was set against the background of Star Wars. His face was always hanging. Hehe smile, in a good mood.

The fans are really attentive, and the trailer is also well made. It simply mimics the opening of Star Wars very vividly, very realistic, especially the text introduction, which is simply awesome and talented.

"Which fan will do this?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Saint Harry!" Prince William, who was sitting next to him, smiled.

"Saint Harry?" Yang Huan said, and nodded repeatedly. He knew the fat man with rosacea. He is now the most prestigious person among the Saints fans. He runs the largest official fan club of Saints with a large number of people.

It is not surprising that there is no talent in such a large fan club, and it is not surprising that such a trailer can be produced.

"This trailer is very creative and spoofed, and it spreads widely among the fans."

Yang Huan listened and nodded again and again, and he felt that it was done well.

This game is the Saints against Manchester City, but the current situation on both sides is different.

Southampton has remained unbeaten in the Premier League this season and has taken the lead so far. There is not much suspense about winning the league title, so the focus of the game has begun to shift to the Champions League.

On the contrary, it is Manchester City. The league is currently ranked fifth, behind the four teams of Southampton, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. This also surprised many people. They did not expect Manchester City at all. Will fall so fast.

It should be said that this season's Manchester City, the aging of the player structure is already obvious, and the team's renewal is also on the agenda.

In Yang Huan's view, Manchester City is now somewhat weaker before it is strong, which can be regarded as a major tragedy.

Not to mention that Manchester City won the championship this season, it would be nice to be able to get into the top four of the league.

In this case, the focus of Manchester City's game is on the cup, especially the domestic cup.

The Champions League is too risky and Manchester City does not have the slightest advantage. Therefore, Manchester City has the same goals from top to bottom. First, grab the domestic cup and take a championship trophy to the bottom. Let's talk about the rest.

Southampton is different, the focus is on the League and the Champions League, so the League Cup has always been arranged for substitutes and young players to play.

Unexpectedly, in the League Cup, the team's substitutes and teenagers performed quite well, killing Liverpool and other teams one after another and reaching the finals all the way.

The time of the final is arranged between the league and the Champions League game.

Before the League Cup final, the Saints had just beaten Hiddink's Chelsea by 3-0 at home, and then beat Ajax by 2-0 in a non-stop away game. Their opponents in both games were very strong.

In addition, the previous cup matches have always been the stage for substitutes and young players, so in this League Cup final, the Saints still ranked the lineup of substitutes and young players.

The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Luke Shaw, Laporte, Stones and Chambers. The three midfielders are Kovacic, Tillimans and Oscar. The halberds are Martial, Harry Kane and Sturridge.

The current lineup of the Saints is full of talents. Regardless of whether it is a substitute and young players, even Manchester City dare not underestimate the strength.

At least, Liverpool, Everton and other strong teams have fallen at the feet of the Saints bench.

Compared with the Saints, Manchester City is determined to win, and naturally they will do their best to fight.

Both sides have now lined up on the court, waiting for the referee to sound.

Yang Huan sat in the stands and looked at the stadium with a smile, feeling a bit of tension.

He doesn't value the League Cup. He only values ​​the Champions League and the Premier League. That is the champion that can really enhance the influence of the team.

But who would have too many championship trophies?

However, before the fight started, Young Master Huan bypassed Prince William and greeted Mubarak, the chairman of Manchester City who was separated by two or three seats.

"Hey, I said Lao Mu, you can be optimistic, we are all substitutes, enough for you, if you still can't win, you can just find a piece of tofu and hit it to death."

The words of Master Huan immediately made Prince William and others couldn't help but laugh.

See how powerful this is said.

Young Master Huan means that we didn’t take it seriously. Since you want it, we will let you know that we are the main player and you will definitely not win, so I’m on the bench now. If I still can't win, then I'm really out of luck.

Mubarak smiled bitterly and depressed. He couldn't tell that Master Huan was joking. What could he do?

The problem of the aging of the team is not new. How old is Yaya Toure?

There are some things, even if Southampton is on the full bench, Manchester City may not be able to win.

how to say?

Judging from the lineup of today's football, Southampton, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich can be said to be on par, and even the Saints are slightly better than the other two competitors in terms of overall strength.

Just say that Harry Kane, Martial and Sturridge, although they are not first-line big-name superstars, can be placed in any team in the Premier League, they are also the main players of the iron.

Needless to say, Kovacic, this season Tillimans also played well in the midfielder position, coupled with an all-around Oscar, the thickness of the Saints midfield is also not bad.

Moreover, there is also a Prouss of Beckham II sitting on the bench.

Before you know it, the Saints have already left the rest of the Premier League behind.

This season, the Saints Yiqi Juechen is indeed a manifestation of the overall strength, and other teams have to accept it.

But in addition to strength, what is more important is that everyone on this team doesn't know when they started playing with such a momentum.

It's like now.

As soon as the game started, the referee blew a whistle. It should be said that the saints are all young teenagers and substitute players. In the face of Manchester City, which is full of main players and star-studded, you must at least converge, right?

But they don't!

After a whistle sounded, the team pressed forward with three lines from front to back.

Goalkeeper Neuer kept shouting in the backcourt, commanding the team, and kept signalling to press up.

Nimei's, is this like a starting lineup of substitutes and youth players?

Even if it is Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams, when they encounter Manchester City, they don't dare to press it so aggressively, right?

But the Saints players have this courage.

They not only have courage, but also confidence.

They are convinced that through aggressive running and pressing, they can hold down their opponents.

This is also not said, the Saints players can run, which is also famous.

To say that a player runs 12 kilometers in a single game, that is not very new, but if it is a team, the average distance of players running more than 12 kilometers per game is quite scary.

Saints are such terrifying monsters!

With excellent running, coupled with the skillful cooperation of the players without the ball, the Saints naturally easily suppressed Manchester City's position. In less than a minute, the ball changed hands.

All the fans in the stands, even sitting in front of the TV, could not help but exclaim in their hearts.

Is this a second team composed of substitutes and youth players?

Which team's second team ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ can beat a strong team like Manchester City?

But Southampton did it, and they are not only trying to beat Manchester City, they are also trying to score goals.

This made Mubarak, who was sitting not far from Yang Huan in the stands, almost didn't cry.

Nimei, they all say that the Southampton first team is not human!

In my opinion, what's the point, even the bench and the youth team are not human!

Looking at Young Master Huan, his old man was looking excited and shouting to score a goal.

Mubarak suddenly looked resentful. Let's take a championship trophy and hide our shame. Why are you doing this?

However, he didn't dare to ask about this, because he knew that when he asked, he also asked for a face.

Young Master Huan will definitely reply very pretentiously, cut, we are all on the bench and the second team, you still can't beat, who is the blame?
