No. 247: Represents the glory of the city of Birmingham
28 October 2009, Birmingham, St Andrews Stadium, sunny weather.
In the evening, the sun sinks in the west, and the fiery red sunset is like a cluster of fiery clouds, covering the entire sky, looking from afar, like a fairytale world.
Dressed in blue jerseys, scarves and gear in hand, Birmingham fans walked out of their homes and into this fairytale world, where the surging flow of people was like a rushing river, and the dragon and tiger jumped forward and slowly pointed towards St Andrews Stadium.
There were already a lot of fans gathered outside St Andrews Stadium, all waiting to enter the stadium for the Birmingham derby.
The Birmingham fans were already excited at this time, and looking at the camera in front of them, they immediately rushed over and roared loudly at the camera: "Birmingham will win!" Birmingham wins! ”
More Birmingham fans are gathered here to look forward to the game.
Aston Villa fans were also indispensable today, taking up a small area outside the St Andrews stadium in their traditional crimson sky blue short-sleeved shirts, as they gathered to cheer on their team and look forward to the game.
At this time, the third largest group outside the St Andrews stadium was heavily armed police and security personnel, all of whom were extremely nervous to watch the Birmingham FC fan base and the Aston Villa fan base, which had to be guarded against or cause trouble.
The police and security personnel were very vigilant, and they were put to the test the last time they played, and this time they were more careful.
In addition to the police and security personnel inside and outside St Andrews Stadium, the streets around St Andrews Stadium and even some of the bar streets were patrolled back and forth by police, and almost all of Birmingham's urban police force was deployed on this day.
It didn't take long for the doors of St Andrews Stadium to finally open and fans began to walk into St Andrews Stadium one after another.
At this time, the players of the Birmingham team boarded the bus and headed for St Andrews Stadium.
Dongfang Chen was wearing headphones and closing his eyes, Sebastian Larsson was taking a nap with his eyes closed, Li Qinglong was playing with the game console in his hand, and Sturridge was listening to music and twisting his body......
The Birmingham team was in a variety of ways in the bus, each doing their own thing and relaxing.
McLeish, who was sitting in the front row, turned his head to look at the players in the car, nodded slightly, then turned over and sat down quietly.
Soon, the bus came to St Andrews Stadium, which was naturally welcomed by countless Birmingham team fans, the Birmingham fans on the scene were excitedly shouting Dongfangchen's name, Dongfangchen immediately waved to the Birmingham team fans after getting off the bus, which naturally attracted louder cheers.
The Birmingham players arrived in the dressing room, began to pack their gear briefly, and then walked out onto the pitch to warm up.
When Dongfang Chen took the lead to walk out, the fans of the Birmingham team on the scene neatly shouted Dongfang Chen's name, and now Dongfang Chen is in the heart of Birmingham fans The position is very lofty, and they have regarded Dongfang Chen as the king of the Birmingham team.
When the players of the Birmingham team were warming up, the Aston Villa bus also came to the scene, and when the Aston Villa players also entered the stadium to warm up, the Birmingham fans immediately broke out into a burst of boos.
Aston Villa's fans didn't care at all, and Abang Laho was even more disdainful, he was looking for Dongfang Chen's figure in the begging taste, and when he saw Dongfang Chen, Abang Laho glared at Dongfang Chen fiercely, his eyes were full of war.
Last time, Abang Laho not only lost to Dongfang Chen in the derby, but also was sent off with a red card, he was very unhappy and unconvinced, he glared at Dongfang Chen fiercely, this time, he must defeat Dongfang Chen, absolutely!
Dongfang Chen naturally felt Abang Laho's gaze, but Dongfang Chen didn't pay attention to Abang Laho, and still did his own, which made Abang Laho even more angry, this guy actually ignored him, he was very angry, stared at Dongfang Chen viciously, and then snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Before the game, the two sides warmed up for about 40 minutes, and then they returned to the dressing room to make their final preparations.
"Hello everyone, fans! This is Sky Sports, and I'm Andy Gray. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray started to talk about it again.
"Hello fans, I'm Martin Taylor, you're all familiar with." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor also began to introduce himself.
'Today we're bringing you the fourth round of the English league this season against Birmingham City and Aston Villa, yes, you haven't heard of it, it's a Birmingham derby in the Carabao Cup. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
"This is the second Birmingham derby of the season, and in the first Birmingham derby between the two sides this season, Dongfang Chen made history by scoring a hat-trick, the first player to score a hat-trick in a Birmingham derby in decades." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"In the last meeting between the two sides, Birmingham won 3-2 against Aston Villa thanks to Dongfangchen's hat-trick. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
"It was a very exciting, very hot game, and the referee on duty, Brown, showed more than a dozen yellow cards and three red cards, which is a master dealer. That game, after the game, also caused some big problems, the FA came forward, and overall, the last Birmingham derby was a veritable derby. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.
'Last time, Aston Villa were definitely not convinced to lose and this time they were definitely revenge, so a game is absolutely exciting, even better than the first Birmingham derby. Let's wait and see. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.
At this time, in the dressing room of the Birmingham team.
Birmingham's head coach McLeish once again said: "There is no two days in the sky, and there is no room for two tigers in one mountain!" In Birmingham, there can only be one team, that must be our Birmingham, only we Birmingham can represent the glory of Birmingham, only we can carry the glory of Birmingham, warriors, come to war, kill a puppet army, let us climb to the top of the king! ”
The players of the Birmingham team were naturally enthusiastic when they heard it, and Dongfang Chen was also surprised, this is not the same as the usual McLeish, this is not something he can say, did he prepare a draft before the game?
McLeish added: "Last time, we beat Aston Villa, Aston Villa are not strong, we are better than them, this time we still want to win, on our home turf, stomp Aston Villa under their feet, let them understand who Birmingham is! ”
McLeish was like a great general, looking around at his soldiers, full of domineering.
Macleish's eyes tightened, and he cried out loudly, "Do you have the faith to defeat them?" ”
Dongfang Chen and the others immediately shouted: "Yes! They must be defeated! This is St Andrews! ”
McLeish was very satisfied with the performance of the Birmingham players, he immediately nodded, and said with great satisfaction: "Good job, this is the warrior of the Birmingham team!" Warriors, let's go and conquer the Aston Villas! ”
The Birmingham players immediately got up and howled out of the dressing room and into the tunnel.
In the dressing room at Aston Villa.
Aston Villa's manager Martin O'Neill looked stern, staring sharply at his players before he said: "Remember the last time we played against Birmingham? ”
Hearing this inquiry, the faces of the Aston Villa players were full of anger, as long as they thought of that game, the Aston Villa players were extremely angry, and the Aston Villa players have been haunted by that game.
In the hearts of the Aston Villa players, that game was a great shame, they hated the Birminghams in their hearts, and the victory of that game should have belonged to them, but the shameless Birminghames used despicable means, which made them extremely angry.
Martin O'Neill said coldly: "The last time we lost, it was a great shame! In Birmingham, it has always been our Aston Villa who have the final say, when will it be their turn to be arrogant in Birmingham? ”
Martin O'Neill continued: "The glory of Birmingham can only be represented by us, and we are the only kings of Birmingham. This time, we are here at St. Andrews, to take revenge, to conquer, to take revenge! ”
Aston Villa's fans immediately shouted excitedly: "Revenge! Avenge! Kill the damn Birmingham! Reinvent the glory! ”
Martin O'Neill said coldly: "This is a game we have to win. And I believe we can win the game, we're so much better than the opponents, you have to have that confidence, you know? ”
The Aston Villa players immediately shouted with determination: "Don't worry, boss, we are very confident!" ”
Martin O'Neill was very pleased with the performance of the Aston Villa players and said excitedly: "Well, let's go, let's win!" ”
The Aston Villa players immediately burst out of the dressing room and into the tunnel.
In the tunnel of the players, the players of the Birmingham team were already waiting there. The Aston Villa players saw the captain of the Birmingham City team, wearing the number 10 shirt, Dongfang Chen chatting with the referee Howard in detail.
Aston Villa's fans were immediately unhappy and despised Dongfang Chen, this guy will be close to the referee, and nothing else.
Abang Laho was even more disdainful when he saw this, he really didn't take Dongfang Chen too in his heart, in his opinion, Dongfang Chen was not worthy of being called his opponent at all, he was the one who wanted to be a man like Alan Shearer, who was Dongfang Chen?
Abang Laho looked at Dongfang Chen coldly, with a wave of contempt in his heart.
Dongfang Chen naturally felt Abang Lajo's cold gaze, but Dongfang Chen didn't pay attention to it, he wouldn't care about this guy, in his opinion, Aston Villa wouldn't cause them any trouble at all.
At this moment, Howard immediately turned around and said, "Okay, ready, we're going to play soon." ”
Hearing Howard's words, Dongfang Chen immediately turned around and motioned for the players of the Birmingham team to quickly stand up and set off. Abang Laho stared at Dongfang Chen coldly, and snorted coldly in his heart: "Sycophant! ”
However, the Aston Villa players were not far behind, and they also stood behind the referee team, waiting for the game to start.
Standing at the front of the Aston Villa team was naturally the captain of the Aston Villa team, Petrov, Petrov turned his head to look at the young captain of the Birmingham team, Dongfang Chen, and then turned his head away, his eyes looking ahead, very strict.
Dongfang Chen smiled slightly, ignored Petrov's movements, and reminded his teammates of the Birmingham team behind him to wait for the start of the game.
