Chapter Eighty-Six: Temptation

Instead of sitting in Wembley Stadium's most famous royal box, Boya just bought a ticket with a not-so-good or not-so-bad spot like a regular fan, and then covered herself tightly and walked into the magnificent stadium on time with the singing and dancing fans.

Because the weather is still cold, Boya's dress is not outstanding, and there are more people who wear more clothes than her and cover more tightly than her.

Shun Lì entered the court, found a seat, and Boya sat down.

Looking around, Boya finally found the two familiar figures, she frowned in her heart, but she thought that the other party was also responsible, so she simply didn't see it as before.

The stands of Wembley Stadium are divided into three floors, the upper level has the most seats, the middle level has the fewest seats, the position of Boya is in the middle of the east stand, the view is good, or rather, the entire Wembley Stadium stands have a good view of the ball, thanks to the beautiful arch, yes, that arch is not exactly a decoration, its purpose is to fix the north side of Wembley Stadium and 60% of the south side of the roof with dozens of steel cables, so that the new Wembley does not need to use support columns to support the roof like the old stadium, Let the four stands of the entire stadium have a good view of the ball.

At this time, the players of both sides had already warmed up in the field for the last time before the game, and although the distance was still far away, Boya still spotted the figure standing on the sidelines at this time.

With his hands in his pockets, he couldn't see his expression, only that he could look up to the stands from time to time.

It's strange if you can find me.

I don't know why, Boya just felt that he should be looking for himself, so he muttered to himself, but he couldn't help but remember the first time he watched the game in the stands with Cinderella and Ariel, at that time, he was still the head coach of another team.

A crumbling team.

At that time, he stood on the sidelines, like a newcomer who had just entered the workplace. And now, he leads. It's a team that can compete with any team in the world, and it still has the heart to look into the stands before the game.

"You...... Also a Manchester City fan? Just when Boya fell into memory, a crisp voice came from the side, Boya turned his head and found that there was already a young girl sitting next to her, compared with her who was not "professional", the girl in front of her could be described as fully armed, with scarves, hats and jerseys, but so much equipment, which made her a little playful.

This is a girl who can easily associate Boya with Cinderella. It made Boya feel some closeness all of a sudden.

"This side should be the stands for the City fans, isn't it?" Boya smiled.

"That's right." The girl smiled and nodded, and then said with some surprise, "I thought you didn't have anything related to Manchester City, I thought ......"

"Think I'm a Manchester United fan?"

"Of course not, no Manchester United fan would dare to sit here. That's their territory. As she spoke, the young girl pointed to the sea of red in the stands opposite.

Boya still smiled.

"By the way, my name is Ada." The young girl was enthusiastic, she introduced herself. Then she turned sideways to reveal an old man sitting on the other side of her, "This is my grandfather, to watch this game." He didn't even do business. ”

The old man, who was all in sky blue, turned his head and didn't speak, but smiled kindly at Boya, which was regarded as a greeting.

Boya responded politely. Then introduce yourself.

"Boya." ――

The Carabao Cup is not the most important competition in England, but it is the most important competition for both sides, especially Manchester City.

Because this was the last time Manchester City won the accolade. It was still in '76 of the last century, 33 years ago, and it was the most recent time Manchester City won the title, and it was this championship that was hung up by Manchester United's die-hard fans in the West Stand at Old Trafford, which was regarded as a disgrace by all Manchester City fans.

And now, Manchester City are on track to end that humiliating record.

Manchester City CEO Gary Cook appeared in the stands, but he was not the most heavyweight in Manchester City, because next to him, it was Mubarak. Originally, Mansour, the owner of Manchester City, even planned to watch the game in person, but considering that Mansour, who is a politician of the country, has been busy lately, Mubarak finally persuaded him to stay and watch the game live on Abu Dhabi Tongguò. After all, this is just a League Cup final. While it may be the first to be very iconic, it will definitely not be the last.

At this time, with the whistle of the referee in the center of the court, a burst of warm applause suddenly broke out over the court.

The game has begun.

"Welcome to Wembley Stadium and welcome to this season's English League Cup final. The two sides of the game are familiar to us in Manchester, and the two teams are currently in second and third place in the league, and it is destined to be a fierce matchup......" The narrator of this game is still the golden pair of Andy Gray and Martin Taylor.

“…… On Manchester City's side, it is still 4231, it is worth mentioning that Bale, who was rumored to be paid, did not appear in Manchester City's start, standing in the left winger position, it was Manchester City's winter introduction of Reuss, and in Manchester United, Scholes, who was unanimously favored to start before the game, ended up on the bench, Sir Alex Ferguson instead used Gary Neville in the right wing-back position, and the young Rafael sat on the bench. ”

"Lin's choice is not unexpected, Bale has just recovered from injury after all, he is unlikely to start in a game like this, but it is a bit of a surprise that Manchester United's Gary Neville can start, Manchester United's captain has not been in very good form this season......

……

It wasn't just them who were surprised, Lin Sen was also a little surprised. Because in his opinion, whether it is Bale or Reuss who starts on his side, they are very fast players, Gary Neville? Lin Sen can't deny that he is a great player, but he is thirty-five years old after all, and at this point, Jiang is still old and spicy.

Lin Sen turned his head intentionally or unintentionally, and his gaze quickly swept over Ferguson not far away.

This was the second final of Linson's coaching career and the second meeting between him and Alex Ferguson.

But Linson still hasn't "confronted" Ferguson head-on, here. Referring to the fact that it is not on the field, but that the two have never had face-to-face communication, the last post-match press conference was originally an opportunity, but unfortunately Ferguson was absent, and this time the pre-match press conference, both sides were held in various training bases. Therefore, for most of the season in charge of Manchester City, Lin Sen and this legend who has almost become synonymous with the Premier League, except for the occasional few times in the last meeting, only a few times in the media are not-for-tat "conversations".

Impressions? That's someone else's impression.

Ferguson in the eyes of Lin Sen. Still the same as in the first round, the two eyes were looking at the court from behind the lenses, and the mouth was constantly chewing...... I don't see the slightest abnormality.

Lin Sen shook his head in his heart, what is Ferguson's plan, it seems that the answer still needs to be found by himself in the game-

The tournament is still not going well.

Although both sides are not conservative in terms of lineup and style of play, the attitude of both sides is surprisingly consistent. After the start of the game, the two sides were more just conservative tentative, and the wing that both sides paid great attention to was undoubtedly the key area of the two sides' temptation.

Linson found his answer very quickly, after the ball at Reus's feet was cut off by Gary Neville.

Actually, exactly. It wasn't Gary Neville who broke it, it was him who joined forces with Valencia to break it.

Manchester United's defense on the right flank, the focus is really not all on Gary Neville, obviously. Valencia is Ferguson's reliance. Valencia, who has excellent speed and power, played as a right wing-back in this game, and he has played as a full-back, a typical bottom-to-bottom player, as long as he is willing to participate in defence. In front of him and Gary Neville, Royce really can't take advantage.

Moreover, this pair of combinations. It's not just that it's solid defensively, it's not inferior offensively, Valencia has a great ability to return, can attack, can defend back, and as for Gary Neville, if Linson thinks he can't come forward to assist because of his age, it's wrong. Gary Neville's age does not allow him to go back and forth like Valencia, but his experience has given him a better sense of timing and maybe he will be in key positions at crucial moments.

With these two men, Manchester City's left side is destined to be difficult to open the gap in a short period of time, and the reason why it is a short time is because in the second half, Gary Neville's physical exertion will inevitably intensify, and at that time, it will not be fully compensated by experience.

On the right side, Robben's save zài allowed Manchester City to take some initiative, David Silva was more on the "care" side after the opening, and as Lin Sen thought, this game replaced Scholes with Park Ji-sung, and his main task is obviously to keep an eye on Robben. The Koreans have a gap with Robben in terms of technology, but unfortunately his own "dog skin plaster" attribute makes Robben at least in the past period of time, not get too good opportunities.

Although the two sides of the side road are entangled, there are still occasional bright spots, and compared to them, the middle lane is more boring.

Bidarga De Jong, against Fletcher and Carrick, if both sides focus on attacking, then these four people may be able to burst out some sparks, but if these four people are focused on defense, then it is ugly to say, it is four-stirring sticks, one mess around, and then, no one can take advantage of anyone.

The crux of the game ultimately came back to two people, David Silva and Wayne Rooney.

David Silva is the heart of Manchester City's playmaking, while England's golden boy, who has been behind Berbatov, has returned to midfield more often.

These two people are the focus of both sides, but at the moment, these two people are undoubtedly the most likely to become game-breakers. Because two people have the most opportunities to catch the ball, and the space for movement is also the largest. (To be continued......)

PS: After thinking about it for a while, I decided to arrange two secret bodyguards for Boya~~~
