Chapter 278: Two Seven Eight:
On May 5, local time in the United Kingdom, the 2011-12 English FA Cup decisive match kicked off, the two sides are Adidas-sponsored Blue Lions Chelsea and Nike-sponsored Red Devils Manchester United, which is not only the ultimate battle between the two giants of the Premier League this season, but also the game between the two major sports brands.
For Chelsea, even if they lose a season, winning this championship is an explanation for the hugely invested owner Abramovich.
It was a great moment for Manchester United to win the treble, and after a season, with just 90 minutes to play, they could live up to the myth of the 1999 zào.
Nike have already made it clear that they will redesign the shirt for the Red Devils to commemorate a great season and look confident of winning the title. Along with them, there is also the British royal family, probably because Manchester United gave face, and let Aston Villa go in both legs this season, and last time it was because Leander inexplicably entered a low ebb in his career, this time it was a blatant release of water in the all-substitute formation! …… Prince William is very satisfied with the two draws, and he has to help blow a wave wherever he goes, saying that Manchester United's season schedule is good, you look at their scores against the major giants, not to mention the domestic league, and they are also invincible in the European arena, giving Britain a long face.
The royal family is ready to re-honour Ferguson, and it's really great.
As for Leander, Prince William openly said that he was the pride of English football and had heard that he would be awarded the Outstanding Person Award.
The BBC and Sky Sports have also prepared their own awards waiting for him.
The British are crazy about football, but they wilt as soon as they reach the big game, and it is not uncommon to suddenly see the hope of rising?
Not to mention, neutral fans are quite ambivalent, on the one hand, they want to see someone stand up and beat the Red Devils head-on with the whole main lineup, breaking the myth of undefeated, and on the other hand, they want to see Manchester United create a zào miracle and compare those five and six crowns in football.
Because the two minds are fighting, there is no difference between high and low, and half of the British fans are simply looking forward to a good game, hoping that their watch is worthy of the FA Cup final.
Prince William's favourite, Aston Villa, and Chelsea's arch-rivals, Fulham, are in a rare position, and they want Manchester United to win! The former is to show that the two draws are worth 10,000 dollars, and the latter is purely to see the broken car abused.
Speaking of which, the two teams that were about to have a life-and-death battle were calm, and they didn't fight much.
After all, Chelsea's acting manager is not qualified to choke with the lord, his personality is also steady, and the assistant coach must be reliable, which is the standard. The Red Devils have proven themselves with results countless times, they don't need to be ruthless or bragging, and now European football is a bit empty when they see Manchester United's team name and team logo, can it be true? All kinds of teams are planted in their hands, and they don't know how to win.
It took a year or two for managers around the world to study the Cosmos thoroughly, and this season they felt a little more normal, and as a result, Manchester United emerged as the new Cosmos. Everyone wants to do the Red Devils, but no one has ever succeeded.
It's too strong, and Chelsea doesn't have much to do in the face of them, so they can only bite the bullet and take one step at a time.
An hour before the start of the game, when the squad was announced, it was clear to fans that Chelsea could not eat the Red Devils, and they were ready to put the bus in the air. If you stick to it, you still have a chance, and you will be blown up in minutes when you go out to wave.
The BBC's commentators are shaking their heads, and they have gotten more than seventy percent of the people who think Manchester United can achieve the treble today, and Chelsea's support rate is only more than 20 percent.
The fans' statement is that objectively speaking, Chelsea has little chance, their squad is not as strong as Manchester United, the manager has been fired, the team is not very united, and the season win rate cannot be compared...... No matter how you look at it, there is no winning point, and you have to stand and die if you die, and it is difficult for a team with this kind of attack intensity to defend.
Celebrities from all walks of life also said that the current Manchester United can't prevent it, and it feels like Chelsea has made a stupid move.
It's too difficult to win by defending, but what else can you say, corners, free kicks, throw-ins, and penalties? What is the guarantee?
God knows that Leander's free-kick index is arguably the highest in today's football, and Rooney Tanky Jr. is also a good player, allowing Kakalai to score goals, and Ryan Giggs is also an attacking player...... If you want to defend to the death, you can challenge the best defenders in the world in a line.
When the starting lineup was brought out, the whole world shook their heads.
'I see Mike Perrin in the acting Chelsea manager and the squad is not fit for today's game. I was expecting the Blues to give the Reds a headache, but now it doesn't seem likely. ”
"That's right, our English football is devastating, this season's Red Devils can speak for England, this front-court attack can rank among the top three in the world, set-piece ability is unparalleled in the world, you just need to foul their chance to come, if you want to do the whole game without fouling Manchester United to die, I can't think about what kind of play I want to do."
The narrator is shaking his head, and so are the guests.
They were embarrassed to assert directly, feeling that there was still a chance, and as soon as this lineup was taken out, there was basically no chance of winning.
Consciously life.
The British media shook their heads, other leagues are waiting, waiting to see Chelsea's table, after all, there is no team in the game with the Red Devils, and it is also necessary to collect a number of jù for reference.
Manchester United and Chelsea are also enemies, the Blues' record in the Mourinho era is not inferior to the Red Devils, but that was a long time ago, and now the relationship between the two pairs is okay, and there will inevitably be friction in the game, many of these players are from the England national team, the relationship is good, and it can't be friction for a few days.
Men's contradictions are different from women's, anger is at the moment, and after that, it's over, and I'm embarrassed to settle accounts with others if my skills are not as good as others, at most I want to come back in the future.
The Chelsea players said in the dressing room that they were going to fight Manchester United, but in fact, everyone was prepared in their hearts, how big it was to win, and what to say if it lost. It is precisely because of this idea that the atmosphere of this game is not too intense, both sides are quite relaxed, and a group of outsiders are in a hurry.
Because of the large difference in the color of the jerseys, you can see at a glance the proportion of fans on both sides, Wembley Stadium in London, Chelsea occupies an advantageous place, but the two sides have bought about the same number of tickets, showing a trend of five or five.
Manchester City is Manchester, Manchester United is the world, think we don't have fans in London? xd
Wembley Stadium can accommodate 90,000 people, the red and blue are split in the middle, and the momentum is really different, although the number of people is about the same, the momentum is really different, the Red Devils probably found a feeling in the game against Dort, the morale was high throughout the half, and the game had not yet started, and they were going to the sky.
The first is singing, after the whole round is ten minutes before the start of the game, at this time, the players are already in the tunnel ready to play, a whole banner is slowly put down, on both sides are waving team flags, Manchester United fans all stand up, everyone has a scarf in their hands, at this time the singing is the first generation of the team song to spread their wings and fly high, as long as they win the championship, they will sing the first generation of the team song, to commemorate all the people who have contributed to the team, do not forget the original intention.
At the bottom of the banner are all members of Manchester United's first team, standing in the middle is Alex Ferguson, Rooney and Leander on the left and right, respectively. There are seven trophies in the upper row, two of which have been turned into color, and five of them are painted with battle symbols, and the whole poster has many profound details.
It was really a joke at first, but now it has been recognized by everyone, and Manchester United are really aiming for a seven-time crown.
The Red Devils are coming!
It's time for the third trophy!
The families of all their players are in the stands, there are a lot of celebrities, Chelsea's battle is not big, the Red Devils have invited I don't know how many retired stars to come, all of them are familiar faces, and the camera swept over the fans and burst into tears.
This is a surprise for everyone, there was no wind before the game, and the fans in front of the TV were still happily waiting for the broken car to be abused, and they cried when the camera cut. Seeing this lineup, the Blues fans were silent for half a minute, this posture, if you don't win the championship, you won't stop!
It makes sense to think about it, Ferguson may retire after this season, even if he doesn't retire, it's hard to say whether he can have such a successful season in the future, his disciples will definitely come to congratulate, the retired players of the Red Devils' class of 92 are neatly arranged, including Beckham.
Ferguson and Beckham both said that they had no estrangement, the media didn't believe it, or continued to hype, watching Xiaobei appear in the stands of Wembley Stadium with his family, in the hearts of fans, the master and apprentice are truly reconciled.
Ferguson won the treble in 1999 and thirteen years later, they are back here and they are on the verge of replicating the legend of the year, with Manchester United lined up and there are no regrets.
Look at the Red Devils, they have all worn shirts for Manchester United, they have laughed, cried, glorified and glorious with the fans...... It was not easy to gather so many people to witness Ferguson's great moments.
Although it was a great moment, there were also disappointments, and after the shock, some people teased the Red Devils fans on the message board.
[I think it's still too impulsive, it's almost the same after winning the triple crown, what if you invite someone in advance to break the car?] ]
[……]
[……]
[I'm you!! ]
[Can't talk and can't shut up?] Shut up, do you understand?!! ]
Usually forget it, at this time, if you don't die if you talk nonsense, who will die?
In fact, this is not counted, after all, it is only the third crown, Ferguson had planned earlier, and when the day of the seven crowns is in hand, he will invite all the Manchester United celebrities who are still alive and invite them back to Old Trafford, which is the goal that generations have been striving for, and if it can be achieved, even the seniors will be satisfied.
If you don't do that now, the season isn't over yet.
Before the game was played, the 92 class set off a wave of high tides.
Seeing them standing in the fan stands, the current players are proud, many of them are players before the first Red Devils fans, they have loved this team since childhood, they watched the class of 92 sweep everywhere, and now it is the turn of the seniors to watch them play, this sense of honor is usually not noticed.
Leander is probably the only one of all who doesn't know these legends very well, and he only remembers Ferguson saying that this game cannot be lost.
It's true that you can't lose, and if you lose, you'll be slapped in the face.
It's a shame not to win the seven crowns after putting so many words.
Others are still reminiscing about the past, Leander has been fully involved in the game, as the outside world predicted, this game from the beginning of Manchester United is to attack, Ferguson said in the dressing room, even if the opposite side of the turtle formation, to break his turtle shell, not only to win, but also to win beautiful!
If the Premier League, FA Cup, and League Cup are all won, this is the treble of domestic competitions, and it is not easy to be so complete.
As if to keep the Red Devils from regrets, the FA announced at the end of last month that it was England's No. 1 whistle Howard Webb, who was called Manchester United's whistle by other fans, not because of his high win rate in the game, but because of the penalty kick.
Howard Webb has given Manchester United seven penalties in the game, and only given one to their opponents, but to say that the Red Devils' win rate in his hands is only 60%, which is not so high that it is against the sky, and the red and yellow cards are even fairer, and there is no partiality at all.
The FA did not list him as pro-Manchester united, and the number jù explained a qiē, so he came again in this game.
Fans are still more relieved to see this name, at least he is fair, there is no obvious favoritism in the number, and he is not afraid of anything, just afraid of the appearance of a second Clattenburg, and he can't afford to provoke him.
Referee Howard Webb blew the whistle and the game began, in order to let the 92 class see the strength of the 12 class, Manchester United opened the attack, just like the media predicted.
Generally speaking, it takes time for any game to get into shape, you have to warm up, and today Manchester United seemed to be on a high pitch, Leander didn't open his feet, he took the ball and used all his skills to rush in front of the Petr Cech's goal.
It is said that Dort is a five-gear shift, Leander is fiercer than them, and before he has come to his senses, he has already rushed to the front, Terry and Ashley Cole are chasing, desperately chasing, but he has already run halfway from the middle circle to the goal line, he has come to the top of the arc, he has to prepare to kick -
Actually, I've said it many times, if you can't catch up, just watch the goalkeeper, don't play with your life.
Let him get up and not necessarily score, and a scoop of the penalty is fine.
However, when the defender has an obvious aversion to attacking with the ball, hating it to the bone, and the hatred is as deep as the sea, it is easy to get up, and you hit me in the face at the beginning of the game, and it is light to not hurt you!
Ashley Cole started instantly, burst up to speed, and put a shovel behind his back.
Leander shoveled his heel, but fortunately he reacted quickly and fell to the side to avoid it, and if the shovel was strong, he could only lift it down.
Howard Webb decisively pulled out the cards.
The commentary is already hilarious.
"Red card! Howard Webb decisively gave the red card! And let Manchester United add a penalty, the back tackle is a very dangerous action, this penalty is very reasonable, Ashley Cole is not calm enough. ”
"It should be the first leg of the season to get a feud, and then Ashley Cole was banned for a long time, and it's understandable that he will lose his mind if he encounters it again, but the penalty can't be escaped."
Even the Blues fans are shaking their heads.
If there is a controversy in other circumstances, it is a favor to give a yellow card to a shovel behind the back, and it is natural to give a red card. Leander has one foot on the line of the penalty area, and the Blues are ready to eat the red package.
[I'm also convinced, what about Chelsea's acting manager?] I don't know how big the first round was, right? Dare to let Ashley Cole come up! ]
[It's just right to let him go down, save yourself from continuing to send packages to Manchester United, anyway, if you don't shovel this time, it's much more comfortable to think about it, the only trouble is that Chelsea directly entered the ten-man battle mode in the first half minute, isn't it funny?] ]
[If it continues like this, the two can't reconcile, Ashley Cole is ten * to be abandoned by the national team, he can be less, and Leander is indispensable, An Fat has said that Leander and Rooney are the core players in his team, the tactical system is built around them, he is the kind of coach who uses the formation to match the stars and let the stars play to the limit. ]
[That's why you can use people as disabled, you know.] ]
Did the Chelsea players try to intercede with the referee, the penalty was given, and as it should be, how about a red card for a yellow card?
If the referee with little qualifications may also have to consider that Howard Webb has officiated in the World Cup final, the biggest referee in Britain, and he will definitely not change it since he has made a decision. Webber is a referee who likes to play cards, and it is not appropriate to say that he likes it, he has set a record for playing cards in the World Cup, that is, 10 finals, 14 yellows and 1 red in a single game.
The Chelsea players gave up when they found it couldn't make sense, and with no face to be entangled, Leander sent the team doctor who came to check on the situation, rubbed his heel and stood up.
Because of the vigorous shovel, the Red Devils team did not have the face to snatch the penalty, Rooney pushed him to the penalty spot, and the Red Devils fans were waiting for the first goal to be born after worrying.
Got it? There should be, right?
Under the expectation of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, Leander calmly pushed the upper right corner and hung the net beautifully.
“al!”
