Chapter 177: A Calm Start

"Thank you, Prince William, and at the same time wish Madeleine can return to her parents as soon as possible, let us send blessings to Madeleine together!"

On the same day, the new Wembley Stadium was packed with bigwigs from all walks of life, as well as Bob Goldorf, Henry Cooper and Geoff Hirst, who had created glory at Wembley Stadium. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 At the beginning of the stadium, the organizers once again appealed to the missing Madeleine, hoping that the enthusiasts would help her return to her parents. Finally, Prince William appeared on the podium with the FA Cup trophy and announced the official opening of the new Wembley Stadium, which brought the atmosphere to a small climax.

Once everything was ready, the big screen inside the stadium showed fans the path of both teams to the finals.

When the Manchester United team appeared on the big screen, the Manchester United fans in red shirts let out a burst of cheers.

And when the Chelsea team appeared on the big screen, there was a burst of cheers from the Chelsea fans in the blue shirts.

Each other, not equal.

After the promotion of both sides has been broadcast, a final is about to be staged.

The starting lists of both sides were immediately played on the big screen.

Chelsea 433, goalkeeper: 1, fit.

Defenders: 20, Ferreira, 5, Essien, 26, Terry, 18, Bridge.

Midfielders: 8, Frank Lampard, 12, Mikel, 4, Makelele.

Midfielders: 10, Carrick, 24, Fletcher, 18, Scholes.

"Judging from the starting list, their lineup changes are still relatively large." Martin Taylor sat in the commentary box and flipped through the profiles of both teams, where he began to explain the game in a subdued tone.

Of course, there will be a big change compared to the last round of the league, Manchester United was mainly for training at that time, and Chelsea had no hope of winning the title and the Champions League place was worrying, of course, the main squad had to relax and relax.

However, Chelsea's squad has changed significantly from their regular starters, with Carvalho, Ballack and Shepchenko missing through injury, while Essien, Mikel and Wright-Phillips have been given the chance to start. For Manchester United, Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic have made up for the weakest link at the back, but Gary Neville is still out injured.

"Yes, but it's still the familiar recipe! Honestly, I'm tired of watching their games! In the end, it was either Chelsea or Manchester United who won! Because the championship always belongs to both of them! ”

"Uh... I hate to admit it, but you're right. Three months ago, they beat Arsenal at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to lift the Carabao Cup! A week ago, Manchester United lifted the league trophy and now they will be in contention for another trophy. It's their third collision of the season, but Andy, I think you're going to have to put up with it because they're going to be fighting for a trophy here in three months' time. ”

The entry of players from both sides pushed the atmosphere in the stadium to another climax.

Every time the announcer reads the name of a player, there is a loud cheer and deafening boos in the stadium. The fans on both sides cheered for their players and booed the opponent's players, and neither affected the other and did not interfere with each other.

Amid cheers and boos from the fans, the referee blew the whistle and the 2006/2007 FA Cup final officially began.

Chelsea kick-off first.

Didier Drogba latched on to Frank Lampard's pass and knocked it back to Mikel.

Although Mikel was relieved of the defensive burden in this game, and although he was determined to show his playmaking talent in this game before the game, he played in a central midfield position for Chelsea for a season, and under the influence of Claude Makelele, he was used to a style of play and quick balls.

Receiving a pass from Drogba, it was like a hot potato and quickly passed to Wright-Phillips on the wing.

The Jamaican descendant, who made a name for himself at Manchester City, shares the same traits as Jamaican athletes, with a quick start. While his dribbling ability isn't great, his quick start and excellent ability to change direction allow him to get away from defenders quickly. However, after receiving the ball today, he did not rush straight towards United's half of the pitch as he had done before, and after taking two steps, he passed the ball to the middle of the pitch to Blues commander Frank Lampard.

Frank Lampard received the ball and immediately pressed with both hands.

Joe Cole and Wright Phillips, who were preparing for a quick start, immediately slowed down and slowly retreated to midfield to engage in the down.

Steady!

This is what the players of both sides showed to everyone after the opening.

When the Chelsea players were on the back foot, the Manchester United players pressed Chelsea with pressing, but they did not invest much. They put more force into the defence and a solid defence made it difficult for Chelsea to find chances.

It's like two martial arts masters in a competition, constantly playing Tai Chi pushing hands there, and no one is willing to use the first move, as if they are afraid of destroying this harmonious scene.

The dreary game had a lethargic feel, but with only a few minutes into the game, the fans on both sides were in good spirits.

The Chelsea fans, cheering from the stands, were rising wave after wave, as if they had won the game.

Amid the cheers of the fans, the Chelsea players who continued to fall their feet finally couldn't hold back their inner desire to attack.

Frank Lampard distributed the ball to the feet of Wright-Phillips on the wing, who slid a curl with his right foot and suddenly arched the ball forward and accelerated past Fletcher.

Wright-Phillips' sudden start caught Fletcher off guard. Chelsea players were also caught off guard, but it was a clear signal of attack and the Chelsea players stepped forward immediately.

After shaking off Fletcher, Wright Phillips dribbled the ball and cut in quickly down the middle.

Wright-Phillips is a sword on the wing, but in the middle of the lane, the diminutive Wright-Phillips can be transformed into a heavy cannon.

His long-range shooting ability has been well proven at Manchester City.

Manchester United's players naturally did not dare to slack off, Evra and Vidic immediately blocked Wright's shooting route and breakthrough route, and there were pursuers after the ambush, seeing that Wright-Phillips was about to fall into trouble.

After looking up for a moment, Wright sent the ball to the wing with a diagonal pass.

At the moment of Wright's pass, a blue figure ran at great speed and cut in from the back row...... (To be continued.) )
