Chapter 895: The FA Cup Champions and the Worries of Manchester United Fans

"Goal!"

"Goal!"

"Manchester United have won this penalty shootout!"

"4:3! With the lead from the penalty shootout, Manchester United have claimed this season's FA Cup title!"

Last season, Manchester United were shockingly eliminated from the FA Cup; no one ever expected Wolverhampton Wanderers to have the ability to overturn them.

You cannot say this season's Manchester United are stronger than last season's, but the number of trophies they have won has indeed increased.

"Actually, if we look solely at league win rates, Manchester United's performance this season is in fact inferior to last season's; the injuries to De Jong and Varane have indeed brought some problems to the team."

"Mm, but Manchester United's greatest characteristic is their incredibly fast speed in learning lessons from mistakes, and this ability is often very important in professional football."

"Let us congratulate Manchester United!"

【Manchester United】

On the pitch of Wembley Stadium, the Mancheng players receiving their runner-up medals still appeared dazed, seemingly unable to accept this reality.

"It's fine!"

Kyle Walker comforted his teammates: "We made it to the penalty shootout, so both we and Manchester United are exhausted now. As long as we maintain our form, we can win the Champions League!"

"We traded the FA Cup for the Champions League!"

Kyle Walker was being extremely optimistic, and he had found a relatively tricky angle from which to analyze the situation.

They had intentionally lost the FA Cup to Manchester United.

If Manchester United struggled so hard to play for two hours in the FA Cup final, wouldn't they simply explode during the Champions League final in Istanbul?

So comforting!

"Erling."

Tang Ye embraced Haaland: "Sorry about that."

"It's nothing."

Haaland shook his head and laughed: "See you in the Champions League in a week."

"Haha, sure thing. Erling, do you think you can beat us in the Champions League?"

Mancheng played exceptionally well today, but Tang Ye also held extremely strong confidence in his own team.

"It's hard to say, but I think we should have a chance."

Upon receiving Haaland's reply, Tang Ye slapped his old teammate's arm hard several times: "Good luck!"

"Glory Glory Man United~"

"Glory Glory Man United!"

Holding the trophy, Tang Ye led his teammates behind him as a crowd wandered across the pitch of Wembley Stadium, savoring their moment of victory.

"Man United!"

"Man United!"

"We have already secured the FA Cup title; next, we will go to Istanbul to claim the Champions League title there, which will mark our second consecutive season winning the Champions League," Ten Hag announced into the microphone from the center of the pitch.

"For Manchester United to reach this point today, we must thank the support of our fans; it is your support that has forged Manchester United's current strength."

"I promise you, this season will be a perfect one; we will win the title in Istanbul, which will be our fifth trophy of this season."

"Wow!!!!"

"Ten Hag!"

"Ten Hag!"

"Ten Hag!"

Fortunately, Cristiano Ronaldo had already left the team; otherwise, seeing such a scene, he might have, like Escrivá, been unable to resist laying hands on Ten Hag directly.

"Champions!"

"Champions!"

"Champions Man United!"

Check Dongqiu Di Match Report: Jiannanchun Baijiu | Manchester United 0:0, defeated Mancheng 4:3 in a penalty shootout to win the FA Cup title, completing their fourth trophy of the 22-23 season.

Just as the match report stated, the FA Cup title was Manchester United's fourth trophy of this season, and the conclusion of this match also meant that Mancheng had been shaved bald in domestic leagues this season.

If they wanted to win a trophy this season, they had only one path to choose: next week's Champions League final in Turkey.

No league title, no FA Cup title, but sprinting for the Champions League title—this season's Mancheng bore some resemblance to the Liwupu of the past, who took unconventional paths.

Snatching a Champions League title from Manchester United's hands would still be very difficult, but this match allowed some Mancheng fans to see hope.

"We drew 0:0 in regular time and extra time, so we actually have the ability to defeat Manchester United."

A Mancheng fan, interviewed by a reporter from "London Football" outside Wembley Stadium, said: "We have lost to Manchester United continuously this season, already five times, but we only need to win once, to win that one most important time."

As soon as the words left his mouth, the interviewed fan suddenly raised his voice and shouted at the camera.

"Just wait, Manchester United!"

"Just wait, TY!"

Speaking of Tang Ye, this Manchester United captain had not seen the video of opposing fans mocking him.

Recently, he had simply been too busy: training during the day, and at night discussing matters regarding Bubble Bond with Bo Le.

Additionally, the Chinese national team's Asian Cup training camp had already begun in late May; Tang Ye would depart for China immediately after playing the Champions League, leaving him almost no time to rest.

On the evening after winning the FA Cup, Bo Le called Tang Ye.

"Congratulations, Tom. Seeing the 0-0 regular season score, I thought you were going to pull off an upset."

"Hey! Why call it an upset? Even if we lost to Mancheng, it wouldn't be an upset. Don't be misled by online public opinion; Mancheng isn't bad."

Tang Ye told Bo Le.

Among all opponents Manchester United had faced this season, Mancheng was absolutely the foremost existence.

"Haha, then I was indeed misled by the internet. There are too many people hyping you up online, giving me the impression that you're invincible."

"Eon... read less of that stuff, or you'll turn stupid," Tang Ye kindly reminded.

"Okay, okay. Let me first talk about the UAG matter. We initially settled on the name 'United Youth Training Group,' but I encountered some problems during actual implementation."

Bo Le told Tang Ye that youth training was indeed very prone to lawsuits in China, especially since UAG had openly positioned itself against the Football Association, making progress nearly impossible.
