I am Chuqiu Wang

Chapter 222 Another record is born

When Wang Xuan turned his head, he saw Lao Wang in the front row shouting passionately with the Manchester United fans around him, but when he saw Wang Xuan turned around, he immediately returned to his calm appearance.

Wang Wei suppressed a smile, turned around and ran to the midfield.

It seems that people of their age were ashamed to show themselves.

It's really hard to save face and suffer, and you have to maintain the image of a strict father in front of yourself.

"After watching this goal repeatedly, I still feel that Manchester United's offense is hard to defend."

"Their small-scale cooperation has improved a lot compared to last season. Because Allais and Berbatov moved to Manchester United, the technical content of Manchester United's frontcourt has improved significantly. They can be complicated and fancy, and they can also introduce quickly. Ronaldo and Rooney are two young men with outstanding physical talents. Manchester United is not bad in terms of impact. The current Manchester United is not the best Manchester United. If they can find a player who can take on the heavy responsibility of a single midfielder, let Rooney and Berbato With Husband playing at the same time, Manchester United's offensive ability will be so strong that it will be suffocating."

"This start is like a nightmare for Tottenham. What they need to think about now is how to equalize the game. Harry Redknapp is obviously struggling."

Lao Lei was indeed stunned.

Before the final, he planned a lot, especially let the team continue to practice penalty kicks, and prepared to delay the time for a penalty shootout with Manchester United. Before seeing the news that Van der Sar was absent due to injury, he almost jumped up excitedly. When Desa's Manchester United rushed to the point, it was completely at the open level.

Van der Sar was injured, and Lao Lei felt that it was a gift from God, which indicated that Tottenham would win the final.

But what he didn't expect was that everything he did was to prepare for the penalty shootout. Tottenham fell behind in the opening game. If they couldn't draw with Manchester United, they would have no chance to play a penalty shootout.

It's as if you have planned what to do after graduating from university, and you will be promoted to CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of your life from then on, but suddenly find that you can't even graduate from the college entrance examination, let alone improve the admission to university.

What should we do?

Redknapp stroked his chin and kept thinking about the countermeasures. From the corner of his eye, he inadvertently caught Gareth Bale on the bench, making the corners of his eyes twitch.

Maybe he shouldn't have been brought to Wembley?
Bale, whose name Bale means bad luck in British slang, and neither he nor his predecessor Juan Ramos have seen Bale come off the bench as Spurs have failed to win a single game.

Although Lao Lei believes that Bell is a talented player with an extremely bright future, the loss of the ball in the first few seconds of today's game still made him subconsciously think whether it was the bad luck brought by Bell.

This topic has been talked about several times by the London media, and the "Daily Telegraph" even did a special report - "Bell's Curse".

No, you can't think about it.

But Lao Lei found sadly that there was not much he could do.

Ferguson's team is difficult to deal with at any time, and today his tactics are arranged mainly to stabilize and try to delay time.

Now we can only let the players stabilize their mentality and try not to lose the ball in the first half.

Harry Redknapp yelled a few words on the court, and continued to frown and look at the court in a daze.

Tottenham's two wingers, Modric and Aaron Lennon, have good offensive abilities. Modric is not fast, but his organizational talent is unparalleled. Although Lennon has the advantage of speed, he prefers to go straight up. Straight down Bell, Lennon's extraordinary changes, he likes to use changes of direction and feints to solve the fight.

The team conceded the ball just now did not affect their state, and soon Lennon created a chance on the right.Lennon passed Evra with a series of changes in rhythm, and made two consecutive spikes so that Evans couldn't get in front of him, but he passed to the middle and found that the ball slipped past the goal, and there was no teammate in the middle!
Pavlyuchenko is still outside the penalty area.

Ferdinand quickly stepped forward to control the ball, and when he turned around, he found that Modric had appeared behind him. He was about to pass the ball twice in a row, but he couldn't find a chance. It was O'Shea who ran in front of the ball and gave it a big kick. Danger in the restricted area.

"Modric's body is very thin, but he has a fighting spirit when he plays. In this regard, he is very similar to Allais of Manchester United. They are not physically strong, but they are very desperate when defending. Obviously He is a player with excellent skills, but he will always appear in the defensive position, which is more competent than some defensive midfielders."

Mortensen admires Modric more, just as he appreciates Wang He's willingness. He likes this kind of player who plays hard.

When he was young, the wages of the players were only a few pounds or a dozen pounds a week. Many players played part-time to support their families and usually worked in factories. But when those people played football, it was like a war. They absolutely Will not let the opponent easily pass in front of him.

The tradition of England’s barbaric football is left by those workers, but this desperate style of play is becoming less and less common. These players who live in big houses with high salaries feel like they are made of glass when they are on the pitch. The premise of protecting oneself and not daring to work hard made the 63-year-old legendary commentator very helpless.

He feels that the passion of football is gradually disappearing. Although the low-level leagues still have that kind of fighting, they don't go for the ball at all. What he likes is that kind of fighting spirit, not that kind of ugly foul.

Mortensen did not forget to name and criticize: "Ben Foster is like taking a vacation at the goal line. He could have saved the pass just now if he attacked, and it would not cause danger in Manchester United's penalty area."

The defense line is a bit poor, but the frontcourt is picturesque.

Manchester United's offensive combination played very well today, but they always lacked a little luck. After 7 seconds of scoring, everyone was looking forward to a big victory, but when it came to the halftime break, the score between the two sides was still 1:0.

Gaining power without scoring is a true portrayal of Manchester United in the first half of the game.

Wang Hao doubted that Wembley Stadium had something to say. By the way, wouldn't it become Tottenham's home ground nine years later? Could it be that Wembley was rented because it felt good to play here?

"Louis, can you pass the ball!"

When Ronaldo walked to the locker room, he did not forget to educate his compatriot Nani.

"It's not my fault." Nani pouted and said in a low voice, "It seems that I don't own the ball anymore. There is always a voice in my heart telling me 'pass him, pass him'..."

Ronaldo: ...

Wang Ji: ...

This buddy, where is the green version of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" staged here?
Why don't you say that you are possessed by someone? Today's young people can find so many excuses for not passing the ball.

Fortunately, Welbeck did not start today, otherwise the game may be more difficult.

Nani was responsible for failing to score goals in the first half, but luck still played a major role at home.

Wang Haoguang sent 4 through balls because of his particularly good chance, but Rooney and Ronaldo kicked one away, and then each hit the post once.It is also a strange thing to shoot 14 shots but fail to rewrite the score again.

Back in the locker room, it was rare for the old Scottish man to criticize the team.

"You unlucky guys, keep working hard in the second half, don't let this game waste any more time for us."

"Tottenham is just a mid-range team. Even if we have rotated, we are much stronger than them. There are only two strong teams in the Premier League. The first is Manchester United's first team, and the second is Manchester United's reserve team. So today's I don't want to see any surprises in the game."

"Go back to the pitch, score at least one more goal, and beat them all with our counter-attack."

After seeing him finish speaking, the locker room resumed its hustle and bustle.

Gibson and Evra discussed the recent popular Internet topics together. The 21-year-old midfielder occasionally took off his character, said with joy, and danced.

The Scottish old man immediately fired: "Darren, I hope you can appear on the court in the second half. I didn't see you for 45 minutes. Did you stay in the locker room?"

Gibson was overwhelmed by his words, so he quickly sat down and lowered his head to pretend to be an ostrich.

In fact, he still plays football very hard, full of desire for performance, always chasing the ball and running, and then becomes the background board and is passed by the opponent.Gibson doesn't know how he should play now. He is more like a midfielder. This kind of unpredictable movement is equally lethal to the opponent and his own people.

"Man, in the second half I think you should focus on the right wing."

C Luo pulled Wang Xie's arm and said in a low voice.

"no problem."

Ronaldo is indeed very active today, and his ability is trustworthy. During this period, Ronaldo's breakthrough is at its peak, and he can attract a lot of defensive attention from the opponent and tear their defense.

Ronaldo's free kick ability is also good. Although his shooting is not as strong as in the future, it is still top-notch. The only shortcoming may be his ability to compete for the top, but he will often score beautiful headers.

Thinking that in the future, even shortcomings will become strengths, Wang He felt how terrifying this somewhat narcissistic Portuguese was.

His success is entirely paid for with sweat.

Wang He also reminded himself to keep improving so that he would not be left too far behind by this abnormality.

The two of them discussed a lot, but the progress of the second half of the game was not at all what they imagined.

Tottenham didn't have many offensive ideas, but in the 62nd minute, Tottenham captain Ledley King scored a goal from a corner kick to help Tottenham equalize the score.Next, Manchester United was still unlucky, and the 90-minute attack failed.

In extra time, Welbeck and Ryan Giggs came on, and Tottenham also replaced Bale, Bentley and others. Both sides intensified their attack, but there was still no goal in 30 minutes of the game.

"It was a boring and exciting game. The two sides played unconservatively in overtime, but still didn't score." Mortensen concluded again: "But it's okay, a penalty kick Big battles are always exciting, and I'm not sure who will win the championship today."

"United completely crushed Tottenham in terms of statistics. I said at the beginning that they were unlucky today."

"Now it's the penalty shootout and their fate is out of their hands."

"Every minute that follows, it feels suffocating."

Redknapp put his hands in his pockets, with a strange expression on his face.

His heart was already filled with joy, and he even wanted to rush out and do a passionate slide.

The game finally entered the penalty shootout, which was the part he was most looking forward to.

Seeing Ryan Giggs scoring the first penalty, he did not have much emotional fluctuations.

Well, it's normal for a penalty kick to fail.

But Tottenham's Jamie O'Hara kicked the penalty away, and Lao Lei's expression collapsed instantly.

Director, there may be a little problem with the script!
Wang He was the second to stand on the penalty spot. After his run-up, he slammed his right foot on the ball, and the ball flew straight into the left side of the goal without any rotation.After scoring the goal, Wang Hui turned around and gave Ronaldo a high five.

"Just wait, I'll score too."

"Okay."

Wang Hao said with a smile, but his eyes were full of worry when he looked at Ben Foster.

You can score but you are also afraid that your teammates will lose the ball. Just now the Tottenham player kicked away. If he didn't fly, Ben Foster, who made a mistake in judgment, would not be able to save it.

Vedran Joelluka felt a lot of pressure. He took the ball silently and walked to the penalty spot. After a little adjustment, he kicked at the whistle, and then the ball flew out of the crossbar again.

"Manchester United's bad luck just now may have been accumulating luck for this moment. The Tottenham players actually kicked two penalty kicks in a row. The champion has begun to drift away from them."

Redknapp was furious. He had bet on the penalty shootout and had done so much preparation.

And this is how these stupid players repay him?
Scholes' penalty hit again, David Bentley's shot will determine whether Tottenham can continue to survive, without this goal, they will not even qualify for the fourth round.

Bentley also knew that the responsibility was heavy. He wiped the ball with the inside of the jersey over and over again, and it took 30 seconds to place the penalty spot.

beep—

Bentley started to run, swinging his arms sideways, bang——

Without any hesitation, the ball flew directly out of the baseline from the right post.

boom--

Manchester United's substitutes stormed the pitch, and the chants of "United, United, United..." echoed through the London night sky.

"Congratulations to Manchester United for winning the League Cup in 08/09. Tottenham were so disappointing in the last few minutes. They even made a piece of history. In the 46-year history of the League Cup, they are the only ones. A team that missed all penalty kicks in the first three rounds and the opponent scored all of them. This is the first time in the history of the League Cup that a penalty shootout ended in only three rounds of penalty kicks. Tottenham will be nailed to the shame forever. on the pillar."

Ribbons and champagne danced together, and the passionate scene of Manchester United players made Tottenham even more sad. Harry Redknapp even took off his shirt and threw it into the stands, and walked into the player tunnel without going back. At this time, he Need to calm down, or he might hit those bastards with his hands.

The following award presentation was undoubtedly another torture for the loser. Tottenham accepted the award listlessly, and then left in despair.

After that, the Manchester United players stepped onto the podium one by one. Every time a medal was awarded, the name of a Manchester United player would be heard in Wembley.London is, after all, Manchester United's home ground.

Finally, in the countdown of the audience, Sir Alex Ferguson and today's captain Evra raised the championship trophy together.

……

……

　In this final of the 0809 season, Tottenham really pulled their hips in the penalty shootout. Joel Luka scored, but it only lasted 4 rounds. Ben Foster was not tested at all. I missed the first and third rounds...
