612, the most gorgeous red in the friendship arena
Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
Friendship Arena.
It is a large stadium that can accommodate more than 5,400 fans to watch the games in person. It is the home of Swiss Premier League team AIK and is also home to this year's Europa League.
Normally, this stadium is hard to fill up.
After all, Sweden has a small population, and the stadium is located in Solna, north of Stockholm, not in the heart of the city.
However.
When Chu Ge and his teammates walked into the stadium, the Friendship Arena was already filled with fans coming from all directions. There are even many fans who linger outside the stadium because they can't buy tickets, and they don't want to leave for a long time.
Many of them are Asian faces.
As a result of this competition, Sweden welcomed a large number of tourists from Asia from the first three days of the competition. Or, rather, most of them are tourists from China.
To this end, Sweden's tourism board even put a special promotional video on Huaxia's Weibo to attract more tourists to Sweden. Many hotels, supermarkets and convenience stores in Sweden advertise in Chinese in prominent locations.
Maybe they are still arrogant in their bones, but everyone wants to be right.
β¦β¦
Amid the cheers of the fans, Chu Ge and his teammates stepped into the friendship arena.
He looked around.
Unexpectedly, in this stadium, he saw many Chinese flags.
Compared with the Champions League final a year ago, there are obviously a lot more Chinese compatriots in this game.
A year later, Chu Ge is the teenager behind the superstar.
And now,
He's a superstar.
In today's game, Chu Ge still wore the captain's armband.
As in the previous league game, Wayne Rooney did not start, so Chu Ge once again became the captain of Manchester United.
β¦β¦
The race started quickly.
Unlike the previous game, Ferguson stood on the sidelines early.
He chewed gum and watched the game unfold.
Compared to the Chelsea game, Ferguson made changes in three positions.
Juan Mata started in place of Anthony Martial, Blind replaced Darmian and Marouane Fellaini replaced Herrera.
With a week of double-ties, especially after the big game against Chelsea, Ferguson will need to rotate his players to ensure that the players on the pitch are at their best.
In fact.
Ferguson's biggest concern is the fitness of the players.
Judging from the report given by the team doctor before the game, the physical condition of many Manchester United players is not very ideal, including important players such as Anthony Martial and Pogba.
And Chu Ge's physical fitness is actually not too good.
This made Ferguson a little nervous.
After working as a coach, Ferguson won a total of 51 titles. During his 28 years in charge of the Red Devils, he won 14 Premier League titles, two European Cups, five FA Cups and one Club World Cup.
On the honor list of the world's famous coaches, Ferguson has won the most championships.
However.
For the championship coach, he is not without regrets.
Ferguson's regret is that he never won the UEFA Cup. He is only one trophy away from completing the Grand Slam of European major tournament titles.
He thought that after announcing his retirement, this regret would continue to exist.
But today, Manchester United stood on the field of the Europa League final.
A win over Ajax would lift the Europa League trophy and Alex Ferguson would complete the Grand Slam of his coaching career.
"Can I make my dream come true today?"
Ferguson was a little nervous.
Such emotions are not common for him.
In terms of strength, his United should be above today's opponents.
However, the final mechanism of the first battle determines that any outcome can happen in this game.
Moreover, Manchester United is not in good shape, and opponents Ajax ended the fierce competition in the league early and prepared for today's game.
Compared with the Premier League teams with serious internal friction, Ajax undoubtedly has a certain advantage.
'If we can get a goal quickly, maybe it will be a little easier.'
Ferguson thought to himself.
That's at this time.
There was a change in the game.
β¦β¦
The first half of the game went on for more than 30 minutes.
After a period of probing, the Ajax players discovered that the opposite side of Manchester United were not as strong as they had imagined before the game.
Maybe it's a physical problem, maybe it's too much consumption in the league.
All in all, the new Premier League champions did not show any quality that was significantly outperform.
The young people of Ajax are starting to get moving.
Under the control of Hakim Ziyech and Frenkie de Jong, Ajax even began to gain the lead in possession. Donny van de Beek and Dorberg have taken the opportunity to continue to threaten, constantly testing United's defence and goal.
Had it not been for N'Golo Kante's interceptions and De Geagao's block, Ajax would likely have scored long ago.
With the hope of scoring goals, the Ajax lads were getting more and more excited by the excitement of winning Manchester United and winning the title. They started to put more troops into their attack, and the team started to get more and more forward.
Then.
Juan Mata dropped back and teamed up with N'Golo Kante and Chris Smalling to cut off Donny van de Beek.
Football comes to Uncle Mata.
Juan Mata dribbles forward.
He only glanced up and immediately moved the long ball to the side.
Marcus Rashford, who was originally a central striker, quickly picked up the ball and received Mata's pass smoothly. Meanwhile, Chu Ge ran down the middle and crossed with Rashford.
Marcus Rashford is fast.
He dribbles the ball and goes at high speed.
After running around ten metres, Rashford cut inside with a quick dribble.
After attracting two defenders, the youngster suddenly knocked the ball sideways.
"Chu!"
Marcus Rashford passes the football to Chu Ge.
Ajax defender Davidson Sanchez immediately ran towards Chu Ge, ready to intercept Chu Ge.
Facing this defender.
Chu Ge first stopped the football with the outside of his right foot.
Immediately afterwards, without waiting for Sanchez to make defensive moves, Chu Ge immediately pushed the football out with the soles of his feet, and at the same time lowered his center of gravity, shook his shoulders, and made a quick-start feint. Before he could finish this action, he immediately pulled the ball on the sole of his foot and pulled the ball back to the inside of his own foot.
Chu Ge's first move made Sanchez nervous.
And he didn't even stand still, only to see Chu Ge pull the football back.
"It's good I didn't move."
Sanchez couldn't help but rejoice.
If Chu Ge made the first move, Sanchez immediately started and stretched his legs to block. Well, he's been passed by now.
And just when Sanchez was secretly glad that he was a little relaxed, Chu Ge moved again.
The action of pulling the ball back was also only halfway, and Chu Ge suddenly pushed the football away.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Ge shook his shoulders and kicked the ground hard with his left foot.
Swish!
Chu Ge accelerated instantly, and suddenly took the ball and threw off Sanchez.
Sanchez was so uncomfortable.
All of Chu Ge's leg swinging movements were only half done. Such a rapid change of pace caused Sanchez's defensive rhythm to be disrupted.
When the fake is true, it is also false, and when it is false, it is also true.
When Chu Ge really started, Sanchez's breathing was a little disordered, and he instantly lost his most advantageous defensive position, and was shaken away by Chu Ge all of a sudden.
The master has made a move, and the details determine success or failure!
After throwing off his position, Chu Ge did not hesitate at all.
On the edge of the Ajax penalty area, he pulled his leg and shot.
De Ligt, another defender of Ajax, didn't have time to defend and fill the position, when he saw a white light flying from under Chu Ge's feet.
Call!
The ball was like a cannonball, past Sanchez and De Ligt, and straight towards the Ajax goal.
On the door line.
Goalkeeper Onana leaps into the air.
And the goalkeeper didn't touch the football.
Rumble!
Football hangs in the net!
βGOALοΌβ
Friendship Arena, boiling in an instant!
All 50,000 fans rose from their seats at once.
They jumped and began to cheer.
"Chu-song!"
"Chu-song!"
"Chu-song!"
Stockholm, Sweden, the name of a Chinese player resounded in the sky!
'When Ajax came so close to scoring, when United were on the back foot.
"He's coming! He came with a goal! β
"Chu Ge, come forward again! Once again, he became the hero of the team! β
The commentators shouted Chu Ge's name loudly.
The fans cheered.
On online social media, Chu Ge's name once again dominates traffic!
β¦β¦
The teammates rushed up and tightly surrounded Chu Ge in the middle.
Manchester United's red flows freely in the friendship arena.
Amidst cheers.
Ferguson smiled and turned around.
"It was exactly the start I wanted." The old coach thought to himself.
He relaxed.
Ferguson walked briskly to the dugout.
After standing for so long, it's strange that I'm tired.
He could finally take a break.
