In the dark universe, stars twinkled, looking extremely quiet.
As a classic Star Wars opening song suddenly played, a text appeared.
"Sunday, February 28, 2016 AD."
Where the title of the Star Wars movie should have been, there are two lines of words, upper and lower, which are specially modeled after the classic yellow font of Star Wars.
The top is "Southampton" and the bottom is "Manchester City".
This subtitle is so lifelike that at first glance, people who don’t know it might actually think it’s the title of Star Wars.
Like the classic opening of Star Wars, the two lines of subtitles slowly recede, gradually shrink, and finally disappear.
This is followed by a line of text introduction slowly rising from the bottom of the screen.
"This is an English League Cup title race."
"The two teams facing each other are two teams that have suddenly emerged in the Premier League in recent years."
"Saints Southampton are the well-deserved leaders of the Premier League.
They have made huge waves in the Premier League, leading all the way and being invincible."
"Blue Moon Manchester City is determined to resist the Saints' dominance of the Premier League.
While lagging behind in the Premier League, they launched a strong attack on the traditional League Cup, intending to shake the Saints' dynastic rule by competing for the League Cup. ” "While Southampton was fighting on multiple fronts and could only arrange rotations and substitute lineups to play in the League Cup, Manchester City did their best to seize the advantage of the game and defeat the Saints in one fell swoop."
"Although Southampton cannot use all their main players, their strength is still there."
"At Wembley Stadium in London, the two sides have already been gearing up and the war is about to break out."
As the subtitles gradually receded and finally disappeared, just like a Star Wars movie, the screen scrolled down to reveal a bird's-eye view of Wembley Stadium in the night sky.
Then, the screen turned and showed Ancelotti being interviewed by the media.
"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.
No matter the result of the game, I am very proud of the performance of this group of young players."
Then Harry Kane came into the picture.
The local center, who has shone in the Premier League in the past two seasons, said in front of the camera, "The team worked very hard, playing one game after another, and finally reached the final.
Everyone hopes to win the championship. " "Although our opponent is Manchester City, we are determined to win this championship."
The young player in the team, the dark-skinned Martial, also appeared in the picture.
"Last season we lost the League Cup, which saddened all of us, but this season we are back and we are better than last season and we firmly believe we can beat Manchester City."
Midfielder Kovacic also said, "The game is definitely not easy to play.
Manchester City has no hope of winning this season.
They definitely hope to gain something in 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 London's Wembley Stadium, watching the game trailer with Star Wars as the background that was being played on the IAD in his hand, specially made by Southampton's official fans for the club, with a smile on his face.
Hehe’s smile, he’s in a good mood.
The fans are indeed very attentive, and the trailer is well produced.
It imitates the opening of Star Wars perfectly and is very realistic, especially the text introduction, which is simply amazing and talented.
"Which fan would do this?"
Yang Huan asked with a smile.
"Saint Harry," laughed Prince William, who was sitting next to him.
"Saints Harry" Yang Huan snorted and nodded repeatedly.
He knew the fat man with rosacea.
He was now the most prestigious person among Saints fans.
He ran the largest official Saints fan club with a large number of people.
It's not surprising that a trailer like this can be produced in a large fan club like this, even if there are no talents.
"This trailer is very creative and quite spoof, and it has been widely circulated among the fan base."
Yang Huan listened and nodded repeatedly.
He also felt that the production was good.

This game is the Saints against Manchester City, but the current situation of both sides is different.
Southampton remains unbeaten in the Premier League this season and is far ahead so far.
There is not much suspense about winning the league championship, so the focus of the game has begun to shift to the Champions League.
On the contrary, Manchester City is currently ranked fifth in the league, behind the four teams of Southampton, Leicester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
This also surprised many people.
They did not expect that Manchester City It's going to go down so fast.
It should be said that the aging of Manchester City's player structure has become obvious this season, and the replacement of the team has begun to be put on the agenda.
In Yang Huan's view, Manchester City is somewhat declining before it becomes strong, which can be regarded as a great tragedy.
This season, let alone winning the championship, Manchester City would be good if they could reach the top four in the league.
In this case, Manchester City's focus is on cup competitions, especially domestic cup competitions.
The risks of the Champions League are too high and Manchester City has no advantage at all.
Therefore, the goals of Manchester City are very consistent, first win the domestic cup, win a championship trophy and finish last, and then talk about the rest.
Southampton is different.
The focus is on the league and the Champions League, so the League Cup has always arranged substitutes and young players to play.
Unexpectedly, in the League Cup, the team's substitutes and young players performed quite well, defeating teams such as Liverpool and reaching the finals.
The final is scheduled to take place between the league and Champions League matches.
Before the League Cup final, the Saints had just defeated Chelsea led by Hiddink 3-0 at home, and then defeated Ajax 2-0 away without stopping.
The opponents in both games were very good.
In addition, previous cup matches have always been a stage for substitutes and young players, so in this League Cup final, the Saints still have a lineup of substitutes and young players.
The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense is Luke Shaw, Laporte, Stones and Chambers, the three midfielders are Kovacic, Tielemans and Oscar, and the frontcourt trident It's Martial, Harry Kane and Sturridge.
The Saints' current lineup is full of talents.
Regardless of the substitutes and young players, in terms of strength, even Manchester City dare not underestimate it.
At least, strong teams such as Liverpool and Everton have fallen at the feet of the Saints' substitute young players before.
Compared with the Saints, Manchester City is determined to win, and naturally they will send out their main players to fight.
The two sides have now lined up in their respective formations on the court, waiting for the referee to blow his whistle.
Yang Huan sat in the stands and looked at the stadium with a smile, feeling a bit of a tense atmosphere.
He doesn't value the League Cup.
He only values the Champions League and the Premier League.
Those are the championships that can truly enhance the team's influence.
But who can have too many championship trophies?
However, before the fight started, Master Huan bypassed Prince William and greeted Manchester City Chairman Mubarak who was two or three seats away.
"Hey, Lao Mu, you should be careful.
We are all substitutes, so we can give you enough.
If you still can't win, you might as well find a piece of tofu and kill yourself."
Master Huan's words immediately made Prince William and others couldn't help laughing.
Look how powerful these words are.
What Master Huan means is that we don’t pay attention to the League Cup.
Since you want it, then we will let you know that if we are the main force, you will definitely not win, so I am now on the bench.
If I still can't win, then I'm really at my wits end.
Mubarak smiled gloomily.
He couldn't tell that Master Huan was joking.
He might have some tricks up his sleeve.
The problem of aging teams is not new.
How old is Yaya Toure?
Don't talk about some things.

Even if Southampton plays a full substitute lineup, Manchester City may not be able to win.
How to say Judging from the current football lineup, Southampton, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich can be said to be neck and neck.
Even the Saints are slightly better than the other two competitors in terms of overall strength.
Let's just say that Harry Kane, Martial and Sturridge, although they are not considered first-line superstars, can be placed in any Premier League team and they are still the main force.
Needless to say, Kovacic, Tielemans is also playing well in the defensive midfielder position this season, and coupled with an all-around Oscar, the Saints' midfielder is also not bad.
Moreover, there is a Beckham II Prowse sitting on the bench.
Before you knew it, the Saints' entire lineup had already left other Premier League teams behind.
The Saints' dominance this season is indeed a reflection of their overall strength, and other teams must be convinced.
But in addition to their strength, what's more important is that everyone on this team has been playing with such momentum since I don't know when.
Just like now.
As soon as the game started, the referee blew his whistle.
It must be said that these Saints are just young players and substitute players.
Facing Manchester City with all their main players and star-studded players, you must at least restrain yourself.
But they don't After the whistle blew, the team pressed forward in three lines from front to back.
Goalkeeper Neuer kept shouting in the backcourt, directing the team, and kept signaling to press forward.
Nimi, does this look like a starting lineup made up of substitutes and youth players?
Even if teams such as Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur and other teams encountered Manchester City, they would not dare to press forward so domineeringly.
But the Saints players have the courage.
Not only do they have courage, but they also have confidence.
They firmly believe that through active running and pressing, they can suppress their opponents.
This is also not said, Saints players are famous for their ability to run.
It is not very new for a player to run 12 kilometers in a single game, but if it is a team and the players average more than 12 kilometers per game, it is quite scary.
Saints are such horrible monsters With excellent running and the players' skillful off-ball coordination, the Saints easily suppressed Manchester City's formation.
In less than a minute, the ball changed hands.
This made all the fans in the stands and even sitting in front of the TV unable to help but exclaim in their hearts.
Is this still a second team composed of substitutes and young players?
Which team's second team can beat a strong team like Manchester City?
But Southampton did it, and they not only wanted to suppress Manchester City, but also tried to score goals.
This made Mubarak, who was sitting not far from Yang Huan in the stands, almost cry.
Nimei, they say Southampton first team is not human From my point of view, hell, even the substitutes and the youth team are not human beings.
Looking at Master Huan again, he was excited and shouting to score a goal.
Mubarak suddenly had a look of resentment on his face.
He promised us to get a championship trophy to cover up our shame.
Why are you like this?
However, he didn't dare to ask this, because he knew that if he asked, he would be asking for a slap in the face.
Young Master Huan will definitely reply in a very pretentious manner, "Tsk, we are all on the bench and the second team, and you can't beat us, who is to blame:"
