Chapter Eighty-Nine: Settled

Lin Sen didn't know if the goal had been scored, and it was even less likely that Ferguson, who was farther away than him and whose eyes were certainly not as good as him, would know.

However, this did not prevent Ferguson from raising his arms high for the first time.

Just because Rooney, the Manchester United player closest to the goal, raised his arms high.

That's the experience.

At this point, it doesn't matter if the ball actually went in or not, it's important to make the referee think that the ball really went in.

The ball was kicked out of the sideline, the referee Webber only temporarily suspended the game, and did not award the goal valid for the first time, Manchester United players immediately surrounded it, Manchester United's reaction, after all, still gave Webber some pressure, he gestured to the Manchester United players to retreat, while running quickly to the direction of the linesman, this is in fact already a compromise, because if he thinks the goal is effective, then his first gesture should be to point to the center circle, not to pause the game.

However, after a brief exchange, Webb's hand did not point in the direction of the center circle, as the United players would like, but pointed to the sideline.

No goals!

Enraged, Rooney immediately tried to rush at Webber again, but at this time, it was Scholes who grabbed him.

If it had been just now, United might have been able to change Webb's decision, but for now, it would be futile and would have wasted the little time they had left.

The game resumed.

But Manchester United on the field need to seize the last time to temporarily stop this matter, Ferguson on the sidelines is not so good-tempered, he directly shouted at the referee on the sidelines, and the fourth official saw that the situation was not right, and hurried over to persuade him. Yes, just persuasion. Ferguson's identity and status really made him unable to use a "warning" tone.

The old gentleman, who had the object of the appeal, immediately turned on his hair dryer. Especially when the linesman who had just communicated with Weber happened to come over, he had a direct argument with the linesman. Webb, who had long been aware of the situation on the sidelines, took advantage of the fact that Manchester City had once again broken the ball off the sideline, and once again suspended the game, running over to verbally warn Ferguson. But if Ferguson can settle so lightly, then he is not Ferguson.

Seeing that Ferguson and Webb began to speak on the sidelines, Lin Sen on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

At the moment of controversy, Lin Sen thought that the game was going to start again, not because he thought the ball had really scored, but because he really didn't have much confidence in the referee Webb.

Webb, a bald referee in Chinese New Year's Eve, is also a police sergeant in South Yorkshire, England. Because he is also known as a police referee, but for Premier League fans, his other nickname may be more concerning, that is, Manchester United's royal referee, although this nickname is mostly out of ridicule, but it is obviously no wind and no waves. Lin Sen is really afraid that Webber is really a fan of Manchester United, after all, no one has stipulated that the referee cannot be a fan of any team.

For now, Webber is ignoring United's complaints. This made Linsen have to look up to the bald referee, because it is clear that Webber has no reason to favor Manchester City, and since he made such a decision, most likely he himself thinks that the goal is more likely to not go through. And being able to insist on his own judgment and not be disturbed by external factors is not something that any referee can do.

However, did the ball go in?

Andy Gray and Martin Taylor stared at the screen in slow motion for a long time. I can't wait to stuff my eyes into the screen, and even the live broadcast footage has been played several times in a row. From all angles, but the conclusion is still the same: I don't know. Because it seems. The moment the ball fell, it seemed to be pressed on the inside of the goal line, and whether it crossed the goal line as a whole is really two words.

England always seemed to have a special relationship with the goal line, most famously in the 1966 World Cup final between England and Germany, when England scored a similar goal, but it was more controversial at the time, as the Swedish referee had already signalled for Germany to open the door and then consulted with the linesman to signal that England's goal was valid, and England eventually beat Germany 4-2 to win the only World Cup in history. But to this day, this unsolved case is still unsolved. Of course, this possible "debt" is likely to be repaid to Germany this summer......

After such a toss-up, the little game time left soon came to stoppage time.

Stoppage time is five minutes.

Lin Sen had nothing to say about this. He had only made one substitution before and soon made his last two substitutions: Bale for Reuss and Wright Jr. for Arjen Robben.

Ferguson, who had been verbally warned by Webb, stood on the sidelines with no time to think about Bale's threat, and if United were unable to score in the final minutes, it would make no difference whether they would lose one or two.

The game time is getting less and less, and Manchester United's attacking style is getting simpler and simpler, getting the ball to the midfield quickly, and then pinning hope on the glitter of the frontcourt players and the favor of God, at this time, any attacking organization is nonsense. At this time, the Manchester City team has contracted across the board, and the rest of the game is now in seconds, even the most arrogant attacking players are at this time to put down their bodies and meet the opponent's bayonets.

'Paul Scholes handed the ball to Rooney and Rooney shot at goal...... It was too reluctant and the ball was blocked by a Manchester City player. ”

'Manchester United are back and this is probably their last chance to attack, and stoppage time is almost up, no...... Vidal cut off Fletcher's pass and now they have lost even one last chance to attack......"

"Webb blew the whistle for the end of the game! 1-0, with Vidal's goal, Manchester City finally beat Manchester United to win the League Cup this season! Manchester City have finally ended their embarrassing 33-year history without a title! Although there was a controversial picture in the game, it is undeniable that Manchester City played very well in this game, so let's congratulate Manchester City! Let's congratulate Lin on having his name etched into the history of Manchester City in his first season in charge of Manchester City! ”

……

The moment the referee blew the whistle, Wembley Stadium erupted into a burst of applause that seemed to be really brewing, and the applause swept over the pitch.

Gary Cook and Mubarak in the stands stood up at the same time. He raised his arms high and stood up at the same time as them. It was the entire east stand at Wembley Stadium, and all the Manchester City fans were rippling in the stands like a tide. At the same time, he frantically waved everything in his hand that could dance......

Really won the championship!

I don't know if it's because of the infection of the surrounding Manchester City fans, or because of other factors, Boya's mood seems to be a little happy, and she applauds while casting her eyes on the field again.

After the whistle blew, most of the Manchester City dugouts and bench members rushed into the stadium to celebrate with the players, except for two people, Tang Hua and Dina, the former because of his personality. The latter is because of gender. Lin Sen thought he would be excited, just like he had won the Copa del Rey last season, but after the whistle blew, he found himself unexpectedly calm, just clapping and then shaking hands and hugging everyone around him.

It was Linson's second title since last season's Copa del Rey.

Last time, he beat the unbeatable Barcelona. This time, he defeated city rivals Manchester United.

Although the gold content of the two cup titles is not too high, two finals. It's all generous.

Ferguson, who had seemed furious just a few minutes ago, had regained his composure, and even after the game was over, he prevented Wayne Rooney from continuing to trouble referee Webber. He walked over and shook Linson's hand politely, then walked over to his team without saying a word, passing one Manchester United player at a time. He would reach out and pat the other person's shoulder as a sign of comfort......

Lin Sen, who had been staring at Ferguson out of the corner of his eye, didn't know what Ferguson would say to his team at this time, but obviously. The battle between Manchester United and Manchester City will not end here.

A podium was quickly erected in the middle of the course. During this time, the Manchester City players went to the east stand of the stadium to thank their supporters, while Linson was surrounded by a group of reporters carrying various long guns and short guns.

"It was a tough game and I'm glad that our players withstood the pressure and the championship was the best reward for their performance. Thirty-three years without a crown? For us, it's not pressure, it's motivation. Now, this qiē is history. The goal? The game is over, and now it makes no sense to talk about this ......"

Lin Sen was calm.

This was evident from his statement, and all the reporters were a little surprised, although the League Cup is not the most important trophy, but it is an honor after all. As they just asked, Manchester City haven't won any titles in years, how can you be so calm? At this time, where did they think that the second time, and the first time, how could it be the same? Without the passion of the first time, the dust has settled, and this is just a league cup after all.

The ensuing award ceremony, as the United players ascended the famous 107 steps leading to the Royal Box, the United fans still gave their team a round of applause, for them it was a shame to lose to Manchester City, and even more so to lose to Manchester City in the final, but it was still just a League Cup, and they still gave enough trust and understanding to a team that brought them so much joy last season.

FOLLOWING UNITED IS THE MANCHESTER CITY TEAM, AND THE UNITED PLAYERS GENERALLY BOW THEIR HEADS AND REMAIN SILENT, THE EXCITED MANZHOU CITY PLAYERS CONTINUE TO REACH OUT AND INTERACT WITH THE FANS ON BOTH SIDES ALONG THE WAY, WHEN THE MANCHESTER TEAM IS ON THE PODIUM, WHEN MANCHESTER CITY'S CAPTAIN DERN LIFTS THE DELICATE TROPHY UNDER THE BANNER PRINTED WITH "CARLINGCUP", THE STADIUM RADIO SOUNDED AT THE SAME TIME.

09/10 English League Cup winner, Manchester City.

The entire Wembley Stadium burst into applause, streamers continued to fall from the air, and the trophy was passed in the hands of Manchester City's players, and when Linsen, wearing a Manchester City scarf, appeared in the stands and received the League Cup trophy from the players, the atmosphere reached its climax.

The elder Miller in the stands almost burst into tears.

Thirty-three years.

As an old fan who witnessed Manchester City's championship last time, at that time, who would have thought that in order to come again at this moment, they waited for 33 years, and 33 years made him from a passionate young fan to an old fan with silver frost and sideburns.

Now, this moment has finally arrived, right now, right now. (To be continued......)
