Chapter 405: The Final Begins
On the day of the Carabao Cup final, no alcohol or alcoholic beverages are allowed to be sold near the stadium, but this does not stop heavy English fans from drinking.
In the square near Wembley Stadium, you can see fans carrying beer bottles everywhere, Manchester City fans and Chelsea fans, and for England fans, it is so easy to get a beer that you don't have to buy it in the shops near the stadium.
Manchester City's dressing room is also on the verge of exploding, and the two managers of the two teams are very different in terms of coaching style and age, but this does not prevent the two teams from bursting with the same enthusiasm at this time.
Pep Guardiola crossed his arms and looked at his players, he was thinking about what he should say, and after a moment of thought, he said: "The importance of today's game, I think everyone knows, this is our first final of the season, but not the last.
We've had a good season, but we've been held back by Chelsea in the league! We've got nothing in this season so far, and you've got to be those damn guys!
They're laughing, they're pointing, saying, 'Look at Manchester City, they've had a good season and they ended up with nothing, this game is crucial for me to talk about, it's a game against Chelsea who are unbeatable right now!
The next league game is the best chance for us to turn the tables in the league, and after tonight, it's either a championship and a happy night for the fans who support you, or you're going to see those guys in the newspaper the next day sneering and saying, "Look, Manchester City are going to get nothing this season." ”
"We don't want to, we'll win the championship!" The room resounded with the roar of Manchester City players.
"So, what are you waiting for! Let's go! Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany, with a wave of his hand, led his team-mates onto the pitch.
In the players' tunnel, the two teams waiting to enter the stadium stood side by side, Manchester City and Chelsea are not mortal enemies, they are rivals for the title, but this season the two sides are very nervous, Chelsea has always been slightly ahead of Manchester City in the league, Manchester City is also in hot pursuit.
Chelsea's first draw of the season was against Manchester City, and in the dressing room, the players on both sides were eager to knock each other down, so although they stood side by side, neither the Chelsea players nor the Manchester City players had any communication with each other, and the two teams were like two parallel lines, ignoring each other.
One sentence summed up both sides, and now the fighting spirit of both sides is very strong!
Wembley Stadium is emitting a tsunami-like noise, reminding the players that there will be a blood-boiling game here, and the fans on both sides in the stadium are venting their inner excitement, the flags are flying, the singing is loud, and everyone is waiting for the game to begin.
"Coming out, they're out!" With a loud cheer, excited and surging sound, under the leadership of referee Pawson, the two teams lined up in two rows and strode into Wembley Stadium, and the players also detonated the entire stadium.
Everyone was shouting the names of the teams and players they supported, and the whole stadium was almost boiling, and even several team executives in the VIP box still felt a wave of heat rushing towards their faces.
The live broadcast also showed the names of each player, and as each name was read out, it would cause crazy cheers and applause from the fans.
At this time, on the big screen, the list of both sides of the game was also played: Manchester City formation 443, lineup: goalkeeper: No. 1 Bravo, backline: No. 3 Danilo, No. 30 Otamendi, No. 4 Kompany, No. 2 Kyle Walker, midfielder: No. 8 Gundogan, No. 25 Fernandinho, No. 17 De Bruyne, forwards: No. 19 Sane, Aguero, Silva.

Forwards: No. 10 Eden Hazard, No. 9 Jones on the left, No. 22 Willian on the right.
The Sky commentator said: 'It's the strongest squad that both sides have been able to put out at the moment, so you can imagine it's going to be a fantastic game and I think Chelsea have a better chance of winning the Carabao Cup, but football is round, anything can happen and that's the fun of football.' ”
Jones stood in the middle circle, moving for a moment, and at this time, his eyes stopped on the sidelines, the trophy of the championship trophy next to the court, the trophy of Semimy, lying quietly on the side of the court, it was waiting, waiting for the birth of the champion, waiting for the moment of glory that lifted it high.
"What are you thinking?" Hazard asked his young partner.
"I was thinking what it would be like to lift the trophy after the game!" Jones replied with a smile.
Hazard, who has already won the Premier League at Chelsea twice and the Carabao Cup in 1415, has tasted that feeling, and after listening to Jones, Hazard also smiled and said: "You know after the game. ”
Jones nodded vigorously: "That's right, we will know after the game, because we must be the champions!" ”
In the finals, all players have only one goal, that is, championship and honor, and the glory of the championship is the motivation for the players to struggle.
The off-field camera was firmly fixed on the blue No. 8 boy on the field, and the referee Pawson was about to blow the whistle for the game, but the camera showed who was the focus of the night.
The perfect 18, the enviable 18, the unique 18! Dream 18 years old!
One day, I can be like him! Countless young players are thinking the same thing in front of the TV at the moment.
This teenager, who is almost the same age as them, has already played in the final of the top league at the moment, and has played the main core in the Premier League, which is a situation they could not have imagined before.
It turns out that I am not the most talented person in my age, and I don't know how many junior players Jones' results have inspired today.
"Beep ......" referee Pawson blew the whistle for the start of the game.
"Audience friends, the 1718 English League Cup final, Manchester City vs. Chelsea, officially began, both sides wore their home shirts, Chelsea kicked off first......"
"This is the Sky Sports ......"
"I'm Lineker, live on BBC for you......" Dozens of TV presenters began to explain the final as the whistle blew.
