Chapter 470: The Only Player Who Cried
Wembley Stadium.
The cheers in the stands around were deafening, and the scoreboard hanging high above the roof showed a score of 5-0, and the time below showed 35 minutes and 20 seconds.
Before half-time was ticking, Newcastle United were five goals ahead of Cardiff City.
If you have just turned on the TV, you will definitely feel the huge gap between the two teams, but most of the fans in the stadium are talking about only one name - Zhen Shaolong.
Newcastle United's five goals were scored by Zhen Shaolong alone, completing 5 goals in 35 minutes, an average of only 7 minutes for a goal, and considering Cardiff City's strict defense of him, Zhen Shaolong's performance shocked everyone.
When the game restarted, the game commentator was still sighing, "There is no suspense!" ”
"Zhen Shaolong's performance is too good!"
'Cardiff City didn't seem to be defending his goal, but before half-time he had already scored five goals, Cardiff City should not think about winning the game, but how to lose a few goals.
"The game has collapsed......"
Sidelines.
Newcastle United coach Sam Allardyce watched the game excitedly, his mouth couldn't close, the smile on his face couldn't be hidden, he couldn't help but say to Cavro next to him, "If I knew that the game was like this, I would have packed a few burgers in advance!" ”
"We don't have to worry about it at all, we just sit here eating a burger and watching the game."
"It's the most enjoyable thing!"
Cavro tugged at the corners of his mouth, holding back his inner complaint, he didn't think that eating a hamburger was enjoyment, like a fan, holding a glass of beer, sitting in his position and watching the game, it could be called enjoyment.
But he still nodded in agreement and sighed, "No one would have thought that the game would be so easy, Zhen Shaolong, it's so good!" ”
"yes!"
During the conversation between the two people, Cafro suddenly had a question, Allardyce occasionally went to the red-light area, he carefully looked at the chubby body next to him, and then considered the age of the other party, and couldn't help but think, "Is it the reason why he likes to snack burgers?" How else would he have held on? ”
Cavro suddenly wanted to eat a burger, and his wife brought a lot of trouble in his family life!
The game goes on.
Newcastle United were in control of the situation, controlling the ball most of the time, and attacking Cardiff City in waves, but Cardiff City's main focus was on defense, and the game was almost hopeless, and they even gave up attacking, just trying to slowly mix the time.
This practice is also effective.
When the eleven players of the entire team are all staying in their own half, in front of the goal and in the penalty area, it can be described as a sea of people, and it is not easy for Newcastle Lenovo to break through the defensive line.
Zhen Shaolong was caught between McKeail and Wittingham, and it was too difficult for him to get the ball in front.
Although he didn't get the ball for a long time, the camera camera still pointed over again and again, and the changes in the expression on his face could become a topic of conversation for the commentator.
He is the focus.
In the eyes of the vast majority of fans, the game has lost its meaning, because there is no suspense about the outcome of the game, and Newcastle United will definitely win and win the FA Cup.
There were more Newcastle fans celebrating the title in the stands.
They didn't even care about the game, they just celebrated, excited, and shouted, attracting a lot of neutral fans, who joined the celebratory team, and many fans, shouting slogans loudly--
"Champion!"
"Newcastle United!"
"Zhen Shaolong!"
These are the key words of the slogan.
In the warm atmosphere of the surrounding stands, there is one person who is very special, he is the coach of the Chinese Olympic team, Duisevich.
Dujshevic watched the game with burning eyes.
The other players on the field were not taken seriously, he only stared at Zhen Shaolong, who was constantly running back and forth near the California penalty area.
"This is the real best player in the world!"
"Less than half-time, scored five goals and was heavily defended...... He's enough for one person......"
"He'll be back in the Olympic team soon!"
"Go to the Olympics!"
"If he can play so well on a regular basis, he will easily win the Olympic title......
Olympic champions!
Duisevic is not a world famous coach, but he has a lot of coaching experience, and he also hopes to use the platform of the national Olympic team to make his coaching career go further.
As long as he can lead the team to win the Olympic championship, his name will resound all over the world.
Because......
He led the Chinese Olympic team!
After some excitement, Duyshevic also felt a little sad when he thought about the situation in the past year.
In last year's Toulon Cup, the Chinese Olympic team won the championship, and the influence on the world is not small, not to mention China's influence, fans very much hope that football can be played, and the national Olympic team won the championship, even if it is only the championship of the Toulon Cup, but also let many fans pay attention to the national Olympic team.
The national team was beaten down.
At the end of the Asian Cup in July last year, the Chinese national team was eliminated from the group stage, and the domestic media and fans scolded them.
And so something interesting happened.
When fans talk about the national team, it can be said that there is negative content everywhere, and the national Olympic team has received a lot of praise and has become the focus of fans' talk.
But praise is not an indication of strength.
In the past year, the national Olympic team has not played satisfactory results, they continue to lose, keep losing, and the performance of the national team is not much better, and continuous losses will also produce internal problems, such as he and some officials within the Football Association, there are disagreements on leading the team and commanding, and some small things in game training may cause some contradictions and controversies.
Duisevic was upset, but he knew the root cause was results.
If the Olympic team can win all the time and show a very good level, everything else will become a small thing, and any problems will not be a problem.
Why the poor grades?
It's not a problem with the performance, the root cause is the overall poor quality.
This is a fact and it must be faced!
In terms of forming the national Olympic team and recruiting players, Dujshevic has a feeling that 'it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice', and there are so many professional players on the register in China, and even fewer young players who are in line with their age.
He simply had no choice.
Even if there are some players who do not perform well in the team, he can only let them stay in the team, because those players who do not enter are even worse in strength and performance.
Now that the Olympics in the capital are just around the corner, he can finally call up the best players he has in mind.
Duisevich also feels very much looking forward to it, "Although the results have not been very good, as long as Zhen Shaolong returns to the team, his strength will become completely different, and he will definitely be able to play a good result......
on the field.
The score has been rewritten again!
In the 41st minute, Zhen Shaolong took advantage of the opportunity of a free kick and hit the arc of his left foot to break through the gate of Cardiff City again.
6 to 0!
"Zhen Shaolong has gone crazy!" The commentator sighed excitedly, "This is the sixth goal, six goals were completed in the half, and he and Newcastle United have completed or equaled many FA Cup final records!" ”
The narrator begins to look back at history --
'The previous top scorer in an FA Cup final was Liverpool striker Ian Rush, who scored five goals in the FA Cup final, two in 1986, two in 1989 and one in 1992.
"Zhen Shaolong only took one FA Cup to surpass Rush. Of course, he is also the most goals scored in a single game in an FA Cup final! ”
"The last time the FA Cup final was 6-0 was a century ago in 1903, when Boehly beat Derby County to win the FA Cup for the second time in the club's history."
'The first time in FA Cup history a team could score six goals in a single game was in 1890 when Blackburn Rovers swept Sheffield Wednesday 6-1, and the second time was against Boehly and Derby County.
'Newcastle United were the third team, but the game didn't go through the half and they had a lot of time to rewrite the record......
"We are confident that by the time 90 minutes of normal time is over, Newcastle United will definitely break a lot of records and their names will forever be recorded in FA Cup history!"
"They're going to be a great team!"
————
The score of the first half was finally fixed at 6-0, and both teams returned to the dressing room with their emotions in their own hands.
Newcastle United certainly had an easy time.
Many players are starting to imagine the award ceremony, especially those in England who have a deep sense of the FA Cup, and they are all very excited, and their expectations for the FA Cup are much higher than others.
The other side.
Cardiff City doesn't feel good.
Most of the players were at a loss, trailing the opposition by six goals at half-time, and the second half was completely meaningless.
It's the same with Jones.
As the head coach of the team, he should not have been without fighting spirit, but with such a big gap, he has no way to say 'chance' to the players.
Lose, that's for sure.
If it is just a loss to Newcastle United, Jones, the players, the fans and the Cardiff City club are completely acceptable, they can reach the final, thank God, the loss to the Premier League champion is expected, even if they lose the final, they can still rely on the rules to qualify for next season's European competition.
You can't lose so badly!
The biggest score in the history of an FA Cup final was 6-0, and it only took them half time to 'break' the record.
When this game is over, and then the FA Cup final, fans will think of the biggest score ever recorded, think of Newcastle United who created the score, think of Cardiff City, but the two teams are completely different, Newcastle United is the side that created the score, Cardiff City is only mentioned as a foil, they will be nailed to the shame pillar of the FA Cup final.
Cardiff City could not accept it.
At half-time, Jones kept emphasizing the defense, "You have to keep the goal, you can't let them score again." ”
"That's the most important thing!"
"We don't want to win, but we must not let them create the biggest game!"
Jones didn't even think about offense.
Offensive?
What's the point?
Newcastle United can definitely win, no matter how well they play in attack, they can't score more goals than Newcastle United, and the score will only get bigger and bigger.
It will be a real shame then!
Soon.
The second half began.
Cardiff City didn't have any desire to attack, and they kept the goal in the opening kick-off, putting on a look of not allowing Newcastle to succeed.
Newcastle United have been relaxed and they are starting to play freely.
At this time, tactics are no longer important, under the huge gap in the score, the players on the field can win, and the casual play also represents the relaxation of the mentality, Newcastle United's performance has not deteriorated, because most of the players are in good shape, they have played quite good attacks.
In the 53rd minute, Michael Owen received a pass from the left and scored a low shot from a small angle to break through the Cardiff City gate.
In the 59th minute, Zhen Shaolong's header in the penalty area helped Newcastle United score another goal.
This was Zhen Shaolong's seventh goal.
After completing this goal, Newcastle United made a substitution, Zhen Shaolong was substituted, and Martins, who had been waiting for a long time, finally got his chance.
Although Zhen Shaolong was off, the game was not over.
In the 85th minute of the game, Martins and Owen combined to successfully send the ball to the right side of the penalty area, and Milner, who followed up, sent the ball into the goal.
9 to 0!
This is also the final score.
The referee did not give a minute of stoppage time, and the moment the clock reached the 90th minute, the whistle for the end of the game was simply blown.
"It's game over!"
"9 to 0!"
"It's an unbelievable scoreline! The FA Cup final was such a huge scoreline, with Newcastle United beating Cardiff City in a tough way to show the strength of the Premier League title. ”
"Zhen Shaolong's performance is quite good, he scored 7 goals personally, and almost single-handedly, completely crushed the confidence of Cardiff City!"
"This is Zhen Shaolong, this is Newcastle United!"
"Congratulations to them for winning the FA Cup in 2007~2008! They are a double winner of the season! They have a great track record! They have reached the pinnacle of English football......"
Amid the shouts of the commentators, the fans in the surrounding stands were already cheering.
The stadium was filled with madness.
The Newcastle United players also kept celebrating, hugging each other on the pitch with smiles on their faces, and it wasn't long before they gathered together to chant Newcastle United slogans and celebrate their latest title.
The other side.
Cardiff City is very lost.
Many Cardiff City players sat straight on the grass at the end of the day, feeling too tired, not just physically, but mentally.
This match belongs to Newcastle United.
For the entire 90 minutes of the game, Cardiff City spent most of the time defending.
If it's just 90 minutes of defending, every player doesn't care too much, they know there's a big gap with Newcastle United, and the important thing is that they don't succeed defensively.
9 to 0.
This terrifying score made them all feel nightmares.
Now the nightmare is finally over.
Many of the players let out a long breath, most of them had no energy on their faces, but they still felt relaxed when the game was finally over.
One of the players burst into tears.
That's Cardiff City striker Hasselbaink.
With Hasselbaink on the verge of retiring, this is the final game of his career, and with the FA Cup final in his final for the final of the game, he feels his career has been perfect.
Hasselbaink had no idea that he would encounter such an FA Cup final.
Against the mighty Newcastle United, Cardiff City had nothing to fight back, scoring nine goals in the game and showing little on his own.
It's a pain that can be remembered for many years.
In the last game of his career, he had to experience such a painful game, and Hasselbaink's heart was full of helplessness and bitter smiles.
This is already the case, and we must learn to accept it.
Hasselbaink covered his cheeks hard, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and walked straight to Zhen Shaolong, who was surrounded by his teammates, "Congratulations!" ”
"You've done fantastic!"
Hasselbaink sighed a few words, and then said the purpose of his arrival, "Can you exchange jerseys with me?" I'm retiring and I want to remember this game for a long time. ”
Zhen Shaolong felt a little surprised, but he nodded immediately, "Of course you can." ”
He took off his jersey and handed it over.
Hasselbaink took the jersey and handed it to Zhen Shaolong, and then the two hugged tightly.
This is the final picture of the game.
