Chapter 146: Following His Footsteps

Most of the important matches in England are held at Wembley Stadium.

For example, the FA Cup final and the League Cup final are like this.

And this season's League Cup final is also held at this stadium.

After nearly a season of fierce battles, two teams finally came to the final stage.

They are Manchester City from the northwest of England and Arsenal from the north of London!

These two teams and Klopp's Liverpool now jointly control the Premier League.

Their performance and state are the best among the current Premier League teams.

Arsenal is even the leader among them. Since the beginning of the season, Arsenal has not lost a game.

Their excellent state and performance have made the entire Premier League and even European teams tremble.

And Manchester City is one of the teams most likely to break Arsenal's crazy state.

Their fierce front line and stable passing and control can become a weapon to stop Arsenal.

When these two teams meet, even if it is the stage of the League Cup, they will become the focus of the focus.

Especially those European war teams who want to study their opponents, they will naturally not let go of this game.

They also want to see what tactical arrangements the opponent will choose when facing Arsenal/Manchester City.

On March 7, the storm in London has lasted for a week.

Although the rain is a little weaker, it still makes the field slippery, so the players need to make corresponding preparations.

"I hate London because of this bad weather!"

Sterling sat on the bus and kept complaining.

He hates London, not only the weather here, but also the nightmare of his life here.

Lucky is almost becoming Sterling's nightmare.

Sterling suffers from Lucky almost every time, so the happy boy is not happy anymore.

"Hey! Guys, we still have a good chance this time. We played great, didn't we?"

Kyle Walker felt that the atmosphere was a little depressed. He didn't know whether it was because of the weather or other reasons, but it was not a good sign.

When facing Arsenal, any team will have a lot of psychological pressure.

Even a strong team like Manchester City has not been particularly good when facing Arsenal in recent seasons.

For this reason, even if they are in excellent form, they will be nervous.

But now, what they need is confidence! It is the morale of winning.

"Kyle is right, we need to be more confident!" De Bruyne said; "We will win because we play well, that's enough!"

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but smile.

Not because of the sentence itself, but because of the person who said it.

Since the beginning of this season, many of Manchester City's midfield responsibilities have been transferred from David Silva to De Bruyne.

It can be said that Manchester City's sudden outbreak of offensive ability is also based on the running-in results of De Bruyne and Manchester City's forward line.

The outstanding performance of both sides showed their offensive state that they were shocked so far.

They are confident that this offensive ability can penetrate Arsenal's defense.

Once there is a gap in Arsenal's defense, the game will be taken over by Manchester City.

For this, Manchester City players are very confident, not only in themselves, but also in De Bruyne, the core player.

After all, they know very well what kind of magical power De Bruyne has on the offensive end.

Manchester City players arrived at the hotel where they were staying. After they were ready, they set off for the training ground.

Only De Bruyne stayed and accepted an interview from Sky Sports.

Facing the camera, De Bruyne was unusually serious:

"That was when I was still playing for Chelsea. As a midfielder, I saw Kai's outstanding performance in Arsenal's lineup. At that time, I was just a substitute, and Kai was already an indispensable and important member of Arsenal."

In the camera, De Bruyne's expression was extremely solemn.

"At that time, I couldn't even get up. This is what my opponent thinks, because the gap between us is too big!"

"I went through a few bad seasons and then transferred to teams in other leagues, but as if it was fate, I returned to the Premier League and stood in the same division with Kai again! At this time, I felt that I had the ability to make Kai official!"

"Yes! Kai has always been the biggest opponent in my heart. I don't know what he thinks, but this is what I think."

"This game is very important for Manchester City and for me. I feel that I have reached my best state. It just so happens that this game allows me to compete with Kai on the same field. Yes! I will give my best performance, and we will also make this game extremely exciting!"

De Bruyne's words are completely from the heart, so it gives people a very real feeling.

And the reporters were also very excited to see this interview material, after all, the gimmick has been created.

That night, Sky Sports Channel began to warm up and released a title.

"Keep up with him! De Bruyne's opponent!"

In the collection of Chelsea's images and the camera switching between the two sides.

A character who is desperately chasing after Lucky has gradually become three-dimensional.

From being unsuccessful in Chelsea to being the best attacking midfielder in the Premier League today.

It can be said that De Bruyne is the only midfielder in the Premier League besides Lucky.

The story between these two people also interests many fans.

On the match day, the news also reached the ears of Arsenal players.

"I didn't expect that De Bruyne would think so highly of you!"

Wilshere asked curiously: "Did you feel that before?"

Lucky shook his head: "Not at all!"

De Bruyne worked hard in the game, but this is the job of the players and their characteristics.

But other than that, De Bruyne and Lucky had no communication at all.

But what De Bruyne said was not wrong. After all, it was not just De Bruyne, Lucky also regarded the other party as one of the biggest opponents.

Wembley Stadium.

The sky was still rolling with dark clouds, as if there was a tendency for heavy rain to pour down at any time.

However, these factors could not stop the enthusiastic players.

For this championship battle, both Manchester City and Arsenal fans were enthusiastic.

"This is Wembley Stadium. I can already feel the depressing atmosphere before the championship battle!"

Paul Mossen roared loudly.

Only in this way can he let his voice be invested in the microphone amid the intense cheers.

"Manchester City and Arsenal, the players of both sides have come to their respective locker rooms. After they have completed the final warm-up and adjusted, the championship battle will begin."

"Whether Arsenal continues its unbeaten myth or Manchester City uses their crazy offensive to break down Arsenal's defense, these have become the focus of this game!"

Dixon quickly took over and said: "Of course, based on yesterday's interview, the topic between De Bruyne and Kai has also become a hot topic."

"Maybe this is the attraction between excellent players. De Bruyne failed to show his talent during the Chelsea period. Looking at his peers of the same age or even younger than him, he has established a foothold in the giant team and repeatedly scored key goals. This feeling is terrible!"

"But De Bruyne did not give up. He stood on this stage with his own efforts and became the most powerful attacking midfielder in the Premier League!"

"Yes! This is not only a battle between Manchester City and Arsenal, but also a wonderful confrontation between these two midfielders!"

After much anticipation, the shot in the player's channel appeared on the big screen.

I saw that the players of both sides had lined up neatly.

The scene changed, and the head coaches of both teams also came out and shook hands in front of the player tunnel.

The two seemed very friendly, but the fans saw the tit-for-tat behind this friendship.

The dark clouds rolled, and a flash of lightning cut through the sky.

The next second, there was a low thunder.

The thunder made the stadium a little noisy. After all, playing a game on a rainy day is not a good choice, and there are many hidden dangers.

The fans were also worried that the game would be extended or even postponed.

But soon, the referee led the players of both sides into the stadium, which dispelled their concerns and the game started normally.

As the players of both sides entered the stadium, the atmosphere on the scene directly overwhelmed the thunder in the sky.

Go ahead!

Arsenal!

!

Glory to Manchester City!

!

The fierce cheers of the fans of both sides came one after another, and the fanatical atmosphere spread in the stadium, as if a handful of gunpowder was ignited before the game, and the atmosphere became extremely warm.
