No. 184: League Cup final against Birmingham
This year's League Cup final in England is played at the new Wembley Stadium, not at Arsenal's home stadium or Birmingham's stadium, which is a neutral stadium.
But the stadium is in London, after all, and the Londoners still make it their home turf.
However, Birmingham are not far from the wheel, and a large number of Birmingham fans have come to the new Wembley Stadium, and they can be at fault in this game.
Many Birmingham fans were holding their breath in their hearts, and they pulled up banners in the stands to attack Dongfang Chen's banner. There are even guys who directly hold up Dongfang Chen's portrait, Dongfang Chen's portrait of kneeling down and admitting his mistake.
It seems that in the last game, Dongfang Chen offended the fans of the Birmingham team.
Now the new Wembley Stadium is almost full, and it seems that everyone is really looking forward to this game. There were a lot of fans from both sides today, and the fans on both sides had already started the war before the game even started.
"Hello everyone, fans! This is Sky Sports, I'm Andy Gray, and today we're bringing you the final of this season's English League Cup. "Sky Sports' League Cup final is going to be broadcast live," said Andy Gray.
"Hello fans! We're Martin Taylor and today we're bringing you the English League Cup final between Birmingham and Arsenal. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.
"The match between these two teams was very intriguing and attracted a lot of attention ahead of this game. This is entirely because of Dongfang Chen, because of the last time the two sides met! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"In the last match between the two sides, Dongfang Chen brought everyone an earth-shattering game, in that game he not only scored a hat trick, but even killed his old club Birmingham team at the last second of the game, known as a cold-blooded killer!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"After that game, many Birmingham fans suddenly defected and became Dongfang Chen's enemy. You see, there are a lot of Birmingham fans in the stands now, and they have pulled up banners against Dongfang Chen! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"Today, the people of Birmingham are holding back their energy, today they are here to take revenge, they are here to teach Dongfang Chen a lesson, they will definitely go all out in this game!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"After the last game, the Birmingham team was in a slump, losing consecutive games in the league, and now they are deep in the relegation zone, which can be said to be caused by Dongfang Chen, and today, the Birminghams are here to take revenge," said Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray.
"This game is already the final of the League Cup, I think at this time, the two sides will not stay, Dongfang Chen will not stay, today must be a very exciting game!" Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"Okay, now that the players from both sides are about to play, we will use this time to introduce you to the starting line-ups for both sides today." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"First of all, let me give you a brief overview of the starting line-up for today's Birmingham City team." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said, "Today Hodgson was still in a 442 formation, the same formation as the last time the two sides met. In the goalkeeper position, it is still Kasper Schmeichel! ”
'In the back four, it's David Murphy, Ridgewell, James Collins and Zim Bonda. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"It's a change from the last time we played each other, and that was David Murphy in the starting line-up, while Stephen Kyle, who started the last game, was injured and out of season." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"And the Chinese full-back Zhang Ningpeng, who had a very good substitute appearance in the last game, continued to sit on the bench and waited for the opportunity." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"Birmingham's midfield quartet today is Sebastian Larsson, Barry Ferguson, Ji Chengyong and Li Qinglong, and it's exactly the same as the last time they met, nothing has changed." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
'The two up front are Chamacher and Carlos Verra, and nothing has changed. The last time they faced their former club Arsenal, both of them had good performances and both scored. I wonder how their table is this time? Sky Sports guest commentator Martin Taylor said.
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately said: "This is the starting list for the Birmingham team, and then I will give you an introduction to the starting list of the Arsenal team today. ”
At this time, Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray understood: "Arsène Wenger played a 442 formation today, which is different from the last time the two sides met! ”
Andy Gray immediately said: "I don't think Arsène Wenger has any reason to press Dongfang Chen on the bench today, so he has lined up their usual 4442 formation!" ”
Fans in front of the TV also think that Andy Gray has a point, the Arsenal team is a four-four-two formation when Dongfang Chen is there, and the forward line is partnered by Dongfang Chen and Van Persie.
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said: "There was a change in the goalkeeper position, with the goalkeeper starting today, Fabianski. ”
"Sure enough, the Arsenal team still hasn't found a regular goalkeeper, the last time the two sides met, it was Almunia who started, and the last Arsenal game started with Szczesny, and today it was Fabianski, it seems that the Arsenal team is going to bring in a goalkeeper in the new season," Andy Gray said.
Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray continued: "There were some changes to the Arsenal squad today in the back four, with Eboue, Gallas, Koscielny and Klich. Vermaelen was not in the starting line-up today and was not on the bench. ”
"Vermaelen must be injured, otherwise he should be on the bench as well." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
'Next up is the midfield, and the midfield quartet is Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Song and Arshavin. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"It's a big change, from three in the last game to four. And there is no Rosicky and Nasri in today's starting list, which is also beyond everyone's expectations, today's Arshavin started is beyond everyone's expectations, the last time the two sides met, Arshavin also started, but the table is not ideal, I don't know what kind of table Arshavin will hand over today? Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"Next is the forward line of the Arsenal team, sure enough, it is not beyond my expectations, today it is Dongfang Chen and Van Persie who are partners in the front line!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"It's also different from the last time the two sides met, today Dongfang Chen appeared in the starting line-up, not on the bench." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
At this time, when the overly radical Birmingham fans heard Dongfang Chen's name, they immediately broke out into a burst of boos and cheers, and even some guys directly cursed Dongfang Chen frantically and criticized Dongfang Chen.
This made the Arsenal fans very dissatisfied, and they also fought back frantically, scolding with the Birmingham fans.
"Okay, that's the starting line-up for today, and the game is about to start." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
At this moment, players from both sides walked out of the players' tunnel and into the stadium.
At this time, the Birmingham fans at the scene saw Dongfang Chen's figure, and they immediately broke out more violently boos and cheers, and even some guys threw hard objects directly into the stadium and broke drinks to attack Dongfang Chen.
Dongfang Chen didn't have any expression, and walked directly into the stadium, as if he didn't hear the voices of these Birmingham fans, he walked into the stadium so calmly, waiting for the game to start.
"Oh, these Birmingham fans are really a bit overdone, how can they do this to their former heroes? This is the legendary scorer of their club, the legendary hero! The last time the two sides met, Dongfang Chen couldn't be blamed at all, after all, each was its master, and Dongfang Chen did nothing wrong! Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor also said: "Yes! This is professional football, I don't think there was anything wrong with what Dongfang Chen did in the last game? Birmingham fans are a little irrational and they shouldn't treat their club's heroes like this! ”
The over-the-top Birmingham fans at the scene didn't listen to what you said, and they continued to curse and criticize Dongfang Chen frantically.
Of course, there are more sane Birmingham fans, who know very well that Dongfang Chen is doing everything right, but they didn't say anything? Of course, at this time, it is naturally unlikely that they will cheer for Dongfang Chen and welcome Dongfang Chen, after all, Dongfang Chen will kill them in Birmingham.
At this time, the complicated pre-match ceremony on the pitch has ended, the players of both sides have taken their positions, and the game is about to begin.
At this time, Dongfang Chen is standing in the middle circle, that is, the first to kick off will be the Arsenal team.
At this moment, the referee of the game, Brown, immediately blew the whistle for the start of the first half.
In the middle circle, Dongfang Chen immediately put the ball a little, and then quickly rushed into the Birmingham team's half, and the speed was very fast. In the middle circle, Van Persie also passed the ball backwards and rushed into the Birmingham half.
"Audience friends. Fans and friends, the English League Cup final between Birmingham and Arsenal has officially begun, and the first kick-off is the Arsenal team wearing red jerseys and white shorts, they attack from the left side of the TV screen to the right, while the Birmingham team is wearing white shirts and blue shorts, they attack from the right side of the screen to the left. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
