In front of FC United's dugout, Steele excitedly confronted James. Beatty hugged together, Lu Wei was the first to walk up to Baird, did not say a word, but directly gave the veteran a hug, even if the single knife into FC United is enough to advance, but who knows if the Red Bull Salzburg players will go crazy because of this goal.

So Baird chose the safest way in that moment, but the price of this method was in the Europa League final, where he could only cheer on his teammates from the stands.

But a hundred more times I am afraid he chose to do so, Baird patted the manager, who was five years younger than himself, and went into the stadium to celebrate with his teammates.

The 120-minute battle consumed not only the physical strength of the players, but also a lot of mental consumption, almost all the players fell asleep on the return plane, even Lu Wei was no exception, finally entered the final, the string that had been tight for a long time could finally take a break.

In the other semi-final, Atletico Madrid won the game with Diego. Costa knocked out Arsenal with a first-half stoppage-time goal, Wenger's last European game, and the professor could only return to London with regret against Atletico's iron-blooded defence.

FC United's league opponents at the weekend were Manchester City, who had already won the title early, and Lu Wei didn't care if this was a city derby or not, he planned to give all the main players a break, because the next day Marseille doctors told Lu Wei one bad news after another after doing a detailed physical examination for the players.

Robertson, Maguire, Rice, Matuidy, McGim and Daniel. James' fitness is already severely overdrawn, and continuing to play high-intensity games carries a high risk of injury, Lozano and Baird have slightly torn thigh muscles, and it is best not to let them play in the weekend league for conservative reasons.

Lu Wei also has a headache, and at the end of each season he fears that the team doctor will tell him that the players are not fit, especially at the crucial moment of the league race for the fourth place.

"Marseille, tell me directly, who can I use for the game against Manchester City."

Marseille handed Lu Wei a report, in the list of recommended available players, Lu Wei only saw the names of thirteen people, three goalkeepers vaguely listed, in addition to the only people available on the defenders were Tavernir and Tarkovsky, who did not play in the previous game, and two substitutes Webster and Zinchenko, the good news is that the back line can just put together a set of starters, the bad news is that there is not even a available substitute except for the goalkeeper position.

The midfield is relatively complete, Maddison did not play in the Europa League semifinals due to suspension, Granes only came off the bench in the second half, the physical consumption is not serious, although Hayden played a full 120 minutes, his fitness has been no problem, this season his frequency of games is not high, physical reserve is relatively good.

The biggest problem is in the front line, St. Maximin has not yet finished with a foot injury, Daniel. James and Lozano are also not allowed to appear in the starting line-up for the next game, the only winger Lu Wei can use now is Sancho, Giroud and Barbosa are not in very good physical condition, although Marseille doctors allowed them to play against Manchester City, but if the physical exhaustion is serious, it will affect the preparation for the next round against Chelsea.

Lu Wei sighed, he can only hope that the Manchester City players who have won the title will not be so competitive, this game must be abandoned, and the last two rounds of meetings with two London teams is the key to whether they can keep the top four.

So against Manchester City, Lu Wei sent a starting line-up that was very unfamiliar to even the most senior commentators, goalkeeper Ramsdell, four defenders Tavernir, Tarkovski, Webster and Zinchenko, midfielders Hayden, Tavernir Jr. and Maddison, and the forward trident was Sancho, Balbosa and the youth team's McNeill.

The names on the bench made the commentary even more unfamiliar, except for goalkeeper Edward. Outside Mendy, the remaining six substitutes were all promoted from FC United's youth team and reserves, with Ahrens, Mitchell, Sobosroy and Gilmore in the youth team, and Heyug and Ashley Fletcher in the reserve, six young faces watching the game from the field.

Guardiola also didn't say anything like revenge with much fanfare, in his opinion, the team has won the championship and there is nothing to break the record, and the rest of the league is to observe the form of the substitutes and young players.

"Although this game is Manchester East City derby, but the managers of both teams did not pay attention to this game, all sent substitutes, but this is understandable, Manchester City has won the title early, it is time to let the main players take a rest, and on the other side FC United Manchester has just fought a tough battle in the Europa League, only three days have passed, the players' fitness has not yet recovered, it seems that the meeting between the top three teams in the two standings will not be as fierce as people think."

The commentators in the stands made this judgment after getting the starting list of both sides, but this is not the case in reality.

Manchester City's players didn't get into the game from the start, let alone avenge the first half of the season, and it's nice that they, who have been celebrating the league title the other day, can train without a hangover.

Instead, FC United players firmly controlled the pace of the game early on, countering at the Etihad Stadium, suppressing Manchester City's players in the second half and unable to fight back.

The Reds are in the best form of the two youngsters, McNeill started his first first-team appearance, the young man was very excited, he pulled very far on the left flank, showed his very precise crosses as soon as he had space to get the ball, both the high curve ball and the flat ball were very high-quality, Barbosa almost came out on top twice.

Although it is not the first time Taffnier has appeared in the team, it is his first time with his brother, which is still rare in the Premier League, and the last well-known brother to fight together was Manchester United's Neville and Silva brothers.

Max. Tavernir played in midfield, but he often appeared on the left side, teamed up with McNeill to bully, and finally tore from him in the 24th minute, McNeill took the ball on the left and crossed, inertia made Duhani raise his foot to block, McNeill shook his ankles, did not cross but cut inside with the ball, Duhani immediately reacted and chased over, wanting to wrap him with Otamendi.

McNeill is a Manchester United youth graduate, was waived by the Manchester United echelon and came directly to Newton Heath, red genes filled his body, which made him very energetic when playing Manchester City, just when the encirclement of Duhani and Otamendi was about to close, the football suddenly passed from behind McNeill into the box.

Max. Tavernir cut in at high speed and crossed in front of the penalty area line, and Barbosa wrapped up the goal to give his team the lead.

After the goal, Barbosa ran to the sidelines excitedly, only reacted halfway through, turned back and pointed to the two youngsters, thanks to the assists created by the two, Barbosa came to FC United on loan, his form has been up and down, the number of goals has been less than 10 throughout the season, finally scored a goal and a goal against the league champion, excited just want to vent, only to remember after a while that most of the credit for this goal belongs to those two young men, even if he is only 22 years old.

Manchester City slowly found their game, but FC United did not give the Blue Moon a chance to fight back, and seven minutes later, FC United players passed continuously at the back of Manchester City, played a very wonderful team cooperation, and finally Sancho completed the fatal blow to extend the score advantage to two goals.

The final score was also fixed at 0:2, and FC United completed the feat of winning the double-elimination league in a single season.
