The Red Devils fans were so enthusiastic that they waved the flag and even pulled up a giant red Manchester United shirt from the stands.
This excites the Manchester United players in the stadium and their hearts are full of fighting spirit, and it seems that they can't wait for the game to start immediately.
And the Birmingham fans did not show weakness, they shouted loudly Dongfang Chen's name: "King Dongfang! King East! King East! ”
The Birmingham team shouted this as they cheered for the Birmingham team and sarcastically mocked Manchester United, and it was the player they gave up who has now become the king of Birmingham and the nemesis of Manchester United, and the Birmingham fans are thrilled and sarcastically ridiculed Manchester United.
Manchester United fans are really angry when they hear the shouts of the Birmingham fans, these damn guys, and the most deserving Dongfang Chen, damn it!
In the stadium, Dongfang Chen and Ryan Giggs came to Howard's side.
Howard said to Giggs and Dongfangchen: "Heads and tails? The right to guess the ball, the right to pick the edge if you don't guess, you choose! ”
Dongfang Chen immediately raised his hand to signal Giggs to choose first, Giggs was not polite, touched his nose, and said directly to Howard: "Positive!" ”
Howard nodded and looked at Dongfang Chen again. Dongfang Chen immediately said: "Opposite! ”
Howard glanced at the two of them again, then immediately threw the coin into the air, and the coin immediately spun rapidly in the air before slamming the turf.
Suddenly, six eyes were glued to the coin on the turf.
Howard immediately said: "On the other hand, the players of the Birmingham team, the United team picks the right to the edge. With that, Howard immediately leaned down and picked up the coin.
Giggs sighed silently, his luck today is a bit bad, it seems that he will not be too lucky today.
Giggs glanced at Dongfang Chen, then turned his head to look at the court, and then he immediately said to Howard: "That's it now, I'm too lazy to change." ”
Howard nodded and said to Dongfang Chen and Ryan Giggs: "Okay, Birmingham have the ball, Manchester United choose the right court." ”
Dongfang Chen and Giggs immediately nodded, indicating that they knew. Then Dongfang Chen immediately stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to Howard, the two shook hands, and then the two separated, and Dongfang Chen turned around and walked back to his half.
"The game is about to start, we see Birmingham get the ball, Dongfang Chen goes straight to the center circle." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.
Dongfang Chen came to the center circle and immediately called Sturridge, and the two stood in the center circle waiting for the game to start.
Referee Howard was counting down the time in hand, and at this time, the scene was very quiet, and everyone was waiting for the game to start.
Honk!
Suddenly, referee Howard puffed his cheeks and blew the whistle in his mouth.
In the center circle, Dongfang Chen jerked the ball a little and then rushed into the United half of the field himself, while Sturridge passed the ball back to the backfield, and then he himself rushed into the United half.
"The game started and it was the Birmingham City team who kicked off first, wearing blue shirts, attacking from the left side of the curtain to the right. The Red Devils, on the other hand, wore traditional red shirts and attacked from the right side of the curtain to the left. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
At the scene, the fans of both sides immediately roared wildly and shouted loudly to welcome the arrival of this final.
"Fans and friends, spectators and friends! The 2009-2010 FA Cup final has been played and it was Birmingham who kicked off. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
The football rolled to the feet of Kevin Boateng, Manchester United striker Edin Dzeko immediately rushed up, Kevin Boateng directly changed direction past Dzeko, and before Rooney pounced, the ball was knocked horizontally, and the football rolled to the feet of Ji Chengyong.
Ji Chengyong did not stop the ball, and directly sent the football to the half of Manchester United with a long pass, and flew directly to Dongfang Chen, who was inserted in front.
Manchester United's centre-back Nemanja Vidic immediately rushed out, jumped high and hit Dongfangchen's head. The football was put on top, and the Manchester United fans at the scene immediately became excited, shouting loudly, very excited.
But the ball flew to the feet of Kevin Boateng, who immediately dribbled forward, and Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes rushed up and crossed in front of Kevin Boateng, who immediately passed the ball to Sebastian Larsson on the wing.
Sebastian Larsson did not stop the ball and immediately knocked the ball back to Kevin Boateng, who immediately rushed towards the United penalty area with the ball.
"Kevin Boateng rushed up, to intercept it, otherwise it will be dangerous!" Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray immediately shouted loudly.
Manchester United's centre-back Rio Ferdinand immediately burst out to intercept Kevin Boateng.
But at this moment, Kevin Boateng picked the ball straight away, and the ball immediately flew over the head of Rio Ferdinand and into the Manchester United penalty area.
"Sturridge! Danger, Manchester United are in danger! Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor also shouted, and the Manchester United fans at the scene also immediately erupted into a scream of horror, how could this be? How so?
Sturridge raced into the Manchester United box and sprinted towards the ball.
Manchester United's goalkeeper Van der Sar rushed out desperately, jumped up, and slapped the ball directly with both palms!
