Chapter 325: Crazy Ferguson Stands

After the match against Hudders, Manchester United ushered in the third round of the English League Cup.

The League Cup, also known as the English Football League Cup. In all domestic football competitions in England, the importance is second only to the league and the FA Cup. Last year, Manchester United won the League Cup, the Community Shield and the UEFA Cup "mini-treble". As a result, Manchester United are the reigning champions of the Carabao Cup this year.

The League Cup format is a first-round tournament with all teams from League Two, League One and Championship. The second round of participation is made up of the 13 teams that qualified from the first round and the Premier League that did not qualify for Europe. The third round saw the teams that qualified for the second round and the other seven teams that qualified for European competition in the Premier League.

Manchester United are in the Champions League this season and they are straight into the third round of competition.

Manchester United's first opponent in the League Cup is League Two side Burton.

The Theatre of Dreams played at home against the League Two team, and Mourinho hid Liu Yun, Lukaku, Ibrahimovic, Nemanja Matic, Pogba and other main players and sent a full bench to fight.

"LIL" didn't even make it to the 23-man squad. Sitting on the bench for this game are young players from Manchester United's development squad.

The club had arranged for "LIL" to watch the game in a box. Liu Yun said that he came to the UK and never watched a game in the stands of the Dream Theater.

Liu Yun said that he wanted to think of the Ferguson Grandstand and watch the game with ordinary fans.

Liu Yun's thoughts reminded Woodward. Bringing the big names of the Red Devils to the stands and watching the game with the regular fans will make the team look more accessible!

On the day of the League Cup matchday. There was something strange about the fans at the Theatre of Dreams "Ferguson Stand". Why is there a dozen chairs in the middle that no one sits? You must know that the "Ferguson Stand" is the territory of Manchester United's die-hard fans. There has never been an empty seat in more than 20 years.

10 minutes before the kick-off of the game, the owners of the dozen or so seats appeared.

Manchester United diehards in the Ferguson stands are boiling! Walking towards these dozen seats turned out to be old lieutenants Liu Yun, Ibrahimovic, Lukaku, Nemanja Matic, and Pogba。。。。。。 A group of Manchester United mainstays!

All the fans in the Ferguson stands stood up and applauded their heroes!

Next to Liu Yun sat a man in his thirties, who led his six-year-old son to watch the game here.

Liu Yun stretched out his hand to him: "Hey, buddy, hello." I'm Liu Yun. ”

The fan was flattered: "Hello, old lieutenant, my name is Hook. This is my son. ”

The six-year-old boy timidly greeted Liu Yun: "Old lieutenant, I, I, my name is Jack." Sparrow. ”

Jack. Sparrow is the name of Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean. This is obviously not the real name of the little pot friend. It is estimated that the little pen friend has just watched Pirates of the Caribbean 4, so he calls himself Jack Sparrow.

Liu Yun smiled and patted the child's head: "Hello, Captain Jack." ”

Liu Yun asked the fans around him, Hook: "Do you come to the Dream Theater every weekend to watch the game?" ”

Hook replied, "Of course! For as long as I can remember, my grandfather has taken me to the Dream Theater to watch the ball. My grandfather, my father and I were the most loyal Manchester United fans. My grandfather booked a 60-year season ticket for Old Trafford and my father booked a 40-year season ticket. It's a pity... Now they all go to heaven. But I think my son will be the most loyal Red Devils fan in the future! ”

This is the culture of football in the UK, where it is often the grandparents, fathers, children, and grandchildren who spend a hundred years supporting a team.

The referee blew the whistle, and the League Cup match between Manchester United and Burton Albion officially began!

Even with the bench playing, the Red Devils are more than enough to beat a team of the level of Burton. Perhaps there has been a Coventry miracle in the FA Cup, where Coventry picked out a bunch of giants and eventually won the title. However, this miracle occurs only once in more than half a century. The Burton team off the field obviously does not have the strength to perform a miracle!

Just five minutes into the game, Mechtaryan knocked on the Burton goal with a long-range shot.

"Yay~~~~~" The entire Dream Theater fell into a sea of joy. The fans cheered loudly.

In the past, Liu Yun listened to the sound of this celebration on the field. Now in the stands, he realized how powerful the cheers after the goal were! His eardrums were buzzing with the shock. The cheers and applause converged into the most beautiful movement of the Dream Theater.

The "Captain Jack" beside Liu Yun straddled his father's neck, and shouted in a milky and hoarse voice: "Yay~~~~~~ glory belongs to Manchester United!" ”

Liu Yun was deeply shocked by the atmosphere in the stands of the Dream Theater.

Why is Old Trafford called the Theatre of Dreams? Because every week Manchester United creates a fantastic football world for fans that they want!

Theatre of Dreams wouldn't be complete without these adorable fans!

Manchester United scored a goal in the opening five minutes, which seemed to indicate that this game would be a slaughter!

Sure enough, in the 12th minute, Juan Mata scored another goal from close range in the penalty area! 2:0!

Juan Mata suffered that small injury in the first round of the league, and was robbed of the main position by the old lieutenant Liu Yun. He's been holding back the fire in his stomach lately, and this evil fire is now just venting on the underdog Burton team!

"Yay~~~~" The fans in the stands of the Dream Theater are boiling for the second time in this game!

The song of "Glory Glory Man United" resounded in the Dream Theater!

Liu Yun has heard fans sing "Glory Glory Man United" countless times on the turf below. However, actually standing in the stands and listening to Manchester United's battle song is even more shocking! The singing of tens of thousands of fans in the stadium merged into a torrent of singing and soared into the sky!

In the 30th minute, Raheem Sterling scored again. 3:0! The Burton team is powerless!

Before the end of the first half, Juan Mata scored twice, 4:0!

In Liu Yun's view, there is nothing to see in the slaughter of the weak brigade by the wealthy. Those crazy fans don't see it that way at all. They cheered again and again! Excited! In their view, scoring the goals of Manchester City and Chelsea is just as worthy of celebration as the goals of the underdogs. Every goal the team scores seems to ignite their passion!

The first half of the game is over. Manchester United, who came off the bench, took a 4-0 lead over the visiting Burton team.

The second half of the game begins, and the slaughter is still going on! In the 64th minute of the game, Lindelof received a corner kick from Juan Mata and headed the goal! 5:0!

In the 70th minute of the game, Mitchell's long-range shot, 6:0!

In the 85th minute, Anthony Martial's goal finally put an end to the slaughter! 7:0!

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. It's game over! Manchester United swept the visiting Burton team 7-0 and entered the fourth round of the League Cup!

As soon as the game ended, the fans of the Theater of Dreams immediately stood up and applauded wildly.
