With a wonderful storyline and excellent actors, "One Ball to Fame" has won praise from the vast majority of people, coupled with a crazy hype, after the first three days, the film's North American box office is fixed at $12 million, which has exceeded the final North American box office of the previous "One Ball of Fame", and the senior management of Le Warner Bros. Pictures can't close their mouths. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After a full second week, instead of falling, the film's box office rose sharply, and when it saw more than $25 million at the box office, Warner Bros. realized for the first time that the film was likely to far exceed its own estimates.

After all, North America is a football desert, and after "One Goal to Fame" was released in other countries and regions, the global box office ushered in a blowout.

"One Ball to Fame" topped the box office in 27 of the world's 46 opening countries, especially overcoming the "adaptation" of Hollywood films in the European market - in fact, "One Ball to Fame" is barely a Hollywood production, but it is essentially closer to British cinema.

Two weeks after its global release, "Ball to Fame" has amassed $70.5 million at the global box office, the best ever box office record for a football film. In particular, in France, the United Kingdom and Ireland, they have received enthusiastic support from fans, each of which has grossed more than $10 million.

It is expected that after "One Ball to Fame" is released around the world, the total box office of the film will almost certainly exceed the $250 million mark - this figure is almost ten times the total global box office of the original "One Ball to Fame" in the previous life!

"With such a good big IP, and FIFA behind it, I got such a result in my previous life, what a waste." Arthur muttered.

After the North American premiere of "One Ball to Fame", Arthur did not return to China, but launched a crazy pursuit of Jessica Alba in Los Angeles.

With Arthur's conditions, a little patience and a lot of spending, Arthur expects him to complete a "home run" against Jessica Alba in just a few days.

"Baby, I'm going back for the weekend, are you interested in seeing the scenery of England?" Arthur asked over the phone.

"Oh, why do you want to go back?" Jessica Alba's confused voice came from the microphone.

"Hehe, because my team is about to win its first title of the season." Arthur said proudly.

In fact, Arthur's explanation is wrong, after all, before that, Blackburn had already won the UEFA Super Cup, Community Shield and Toyota Cup this season.

However, these trophies are somewhat irregular in Arthur's opinion, so the upcoming League Cup trophy at the weekend is the first trophy he thinks Blackburn need to win this season.

In contrast to the previous Carabao Cup winners, the two teams that reached the League Cup final this season are currently the strongest teams in the Premier League - Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United.

Manchester United have not been in good shape this season, with an early exit from the Champions League and a league finish behind Blackburn, Chelsea and Arsenal, so Ferguson is not unfocused on the Carabao Cup.

The biggest piece of good news for Manchester United this season has been the rapid rise of young players.

Patrice Evra, who arrived at Manchester United earlier than his predecessor, has gradually shown a hint of the style of the first left-back in the future under the tutelage of Alex Ferguson, while the newcomer to the attack, Alan Smith, has also played well from time to time.

Manchester United's biggest surprise this season came from the previous "parallel import" Quaresma.

As a technical player, Quaresma's speed, skill, and talent were top when he first debuted, and he had a strong self-obsessive personality and teamwork ability. However, under Ferguson's training in the past two seasons, Quaresma's technique has begun to become more practical, and his continuous goals have brought the team an improvement in performance, which has also given him confidence and prompted him to improve, and he is Ronaldo's biggest opponent in the same position this season by playing on the right side.

"Oh, the players from both teams are starting to enter the field!" The Carabao Cup final was played at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium and was broadcast live on the BBC's sports channel, and the BBC took the game very seriously, sending their ace football commentators Lineker and Inverdale.

Inverdale still introduced the two teams in a rather old-fashioned way: "Blackburn have never lost their last six games against Manchester United and are unbeaten this season...... There is no doubt that Blackburn, who have been in good form of late, are more likely to win the match. ”

"John! If the analysis is useful, the players don't have to play. Lineker quipped, "Let's take a look at the lineups."

Blackburn Rovers line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Cech

Defenders: Ashley Cole, Heinze, Carvalho, Sun Jihai

Midfielders: Deco, Frank Lampard, Cambiaso

Forwards: Duff, Ibrahimovic, Cristiano Ronaldo

Manchester United line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Carroll

Defenders: Patrice Evra, Ferdinand, Silvestre, Gary Neville

Defenders: Ryan Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Quaresma

Forwards: Ruud van Nistelrooy, Alan Smith

For Blackburn, Davies, who focuses on domestic competitions, was out due to injury, Cambiaso started, and Deco replaced Alonso, who suffered a thigh injury, and was in the starting line-up. Heinze partnered Carvalho at centre-back, with Sun Jihai rotating at right-back. Looks like there's something wrong with Blackburn. Lineker Road.

'United also made a rotation, with veterans such as Gary Neville, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Keane, who were rested in the last league game, returning to the starting line-up. Inverdale also gave an explanation of Manchester United's squad.

Blackburn lost when Duff guessed the coin when Blackburn picked the side, Manchester United kicked off first, Cristiano Ronaldo stared at Quaresma standing in front of the halfway line ready to kick off, fighting high - these two Portuguese twin stars who have been compared since their debut, although they are close friends, have always regarded each other as the biggest opponents on the field!

Just 17 seconds into the game, Ryan Giggs, Alan Smith and Quaresma threatened, but Gary Neville's cross was comfortably blocked by Ashley Cole.

In the third minute, Alan Smith passed the ball and Quaresma's left-footed volley from the edge of the box on the right went wide of target, and the United fans applauded.

In the 8th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo delivered a straight message to his husband, whose cross from the left flank to Ibrahimovic was slightly too wide. United had their first chance in the ninth minute when Alan Smith's through ball was met by Heinze's faulty tackle and Ryan Giggs, who had slipped past the outside line, slid his shot from six yards out on the left-hand edge of the six-yard box.

Blackburn Rovers were back four minutes later when Frank Lampard tackled Silvestre and Cristiano Ronaldo's right-footed shot from the edge of the box on the right was saved by Carroll before Rio Ferdinand cleared it widely.

In the 16th minute, Paul Scholes passed the ball and Alan Smith shot wide from outside the box. In the 20th minute, Ryan Giggs and Alan Smith combined for a pass and Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot from 20 yards grazed the right-hand post.

United missed a great chance in the 25th minute when Ryan Giggs delivered a sublime through ball and Alan Smith's shot from 10 yards on the left flank of the box was blocked by Petr Cech, who had squeezed out Friedel as the team's starting goalkeeper in the second half of the season. Ryan Giggs then whipped in a corner from the right, Silvestre headed wide and Alan Smith's header from eight yards was headed over by Carvalho in front of the line.

In the 27th minute, Ronaldo passed, Ibrahimovic finally got a chance at 24 yards in the middle, Ibrahimovic received Ronaldo's pass, **** stopped the ball and sent it directly forward, and then his left foot was tense, and the football was a powerful volley before it landed!

But Ibrahimovic's powerful shot was blocked by Silvestre, who rushed forward - the ball hit Silvestre's elbow and bounced off the line.

"Handball!"

Ibrahimovic saw that Silvestre's handball was not awarded by the referee and rushed straight to complain about the handball foul by the United defender, but the referee thought that the latter's hand was not extended. It wasn't intentional handball, so it just gave Blackburn a corner. Although Ibu kept scolding, he calmed down.

In the next corner, Duff crossed directly, and Silvestek saw Ibrahimovic and immediately posted it - he was arranged by Ferguson to watch Ibrahimovic, and he performed very well before, and completed the task of guarding Ibrahimovic relatively satisfactorily. But this time, although Sylvester is 184cm tall, he is completely unable to move behind Ibrahimovic.

Ibrahimovic jumped up after flicking Silvestek and he didn't flick his head straight at goal, and Ronaldo was a little lower than the pass because it was meant to be passed to Duff.

Ibrahimovic stopped the ball with his thigh and bounced forward, then immediately took a step forward, and immediately raised his foot sideways to smoke the football under the pull of Sylvestke behind him - this kind of difficult maneuver is not practiced by Ibrahimovic in training, but he plays a juggling goal, which may not be one for other strikers in a year, but for Ibrahimovic, he is familiar with it.

Ibrahimovic subconsciously used it, and when he shot the goal, he didn't notice the situation in front of the goalkeeper and the goal, but subconsciously shot the ball out in the way he imagined the shot!

Ibrahimovic successfully drew the football, and the moment the football touched his foot, the force deflated slightly, and then immediately returned to its round shape and flew quickly towards the goal!

Ibrahimovic's luck was that the ball got through the dense crowd in the penalty area, Carroll couldn't see the shadow of the ball at all, and before he could react, the ball had already flown into the left side of the goal!

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium was silent for two seconds, and then a sound rang out over the stands—

“goooooooooooooooooooooal！”

After Ibrahimovic scored, he jumped straight into the air, then clenched his fist towards the sky and threw a punch hard.

Then the Blackburn players in the penalty area all rushed up and hugged Ibrahimovic in a group.

With Ibrahimovic's goal, the game heated up and the confrontation between the two sides intensified.

Even though Blackburn had a one-goal lead over Manchester United, no one dared to ignore the Reds' ability to turn the score around – on 26 May 1999 at the Camp Nou in Barcelona, Manchester United faced Bayern Munich in one of the most iconic Champions League finals in history. The suspensions of Keane and Paul Scholes took a toll on United, who were 1-0 down after 90 minutes and had a number of chances to seal the win. The miracle came in stoppage time in the second half, when David Beckham's two corners allowed Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to score from the back of the net.

It can be said that reversal is what Manchester United do best!

In the 35th minute, Scholes was booked for a foul on Duff. Quaresma was then put up front and United started playing 4-3-3, albeit more attacking than 4-3-3.

United missed another chance in the 38th minute when Ryan Giggs' quick counter-attack met Quaresma, the Portuguese played a clever pass from the edge of the box, and Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot from 10 yards was again blocked by Petr Cech's legs.

However, Ferguson's side did not keep Red Devils fans waiting long.

In the 40th minute, Giggs passed, Quaresma received the ball at the front of the penalty area, Sun Jihai defended Quaresma, in the face of Sun Jihai's defense, Quaresma immediately dodged a gap, and then immediately shot with his left foot!

The football flew past Petr Cech like a sharp sword and into the goal with great speed!

It was Quaresma's 10th goal of the season – a significant number for a midfielder!

This season's Quaresma began to change qualitatively, there were a lot less flashy and unreal actions in the past, replaced by a lot more goals, although there is still a little bit of a wave of shooting, but from this season Quaresma began his own football king's road.

The young Portuguese broke free from the embrace of his team-mates and raced towards the Blackburn Rovers goal, picking up the ball from the net and running towards the halfway line.

Quaresma's meaning is clear – one goal is not enough, we have to score more in the next games!

Equalize and even win the game!

In the following game, Blackburn's situation was precarious under Manchester United's increasingly ferocious attack.

In the 42nd minute of the game, Ryan Giggs passed the ball, and Keane's shot in the penalty area was blocked by Sun Jihai.

But Ronaldo also told Manchester United and Quaresma that he knew he couldn't be ignored! Blackburn Rovers came close to taking the lead again in the 45th minute when Heinze's cross from the right was met by Cristiano Ronaldo's bombardment from six yards out, but his header was just right for Carroll.

United then counter-attacked but missed chances in quick succession, as Ryan Giggs passed the ball and Quaresma's right-footed volley from the edge of the box on the left went just over the far corner.

In first-half stoppage time, Patrice Evra's cross caused chaos and Ryan Giggs fired a left-footed shot from eight yards that hit the right-hand post.

In the first half, the two teams drew 1:1. (To be continued.) )
