Chapter 210 Trophy in Hand
Before Chelsea's home game against Manchester City, all media in England regarded Terry and Bridge as the biggest attraction of this game. Especially in the middle of this week, Bridge, a victim of friendly wife, has announced his withdrawal from the England team, adding a "never-time teammate" to the game. Before the game, Sky Sports predicted the game and thought: "After the outbreak of the storm, the confrontation between two former Chelsea teammates in this game is even more exciting. Will the two shake hands? And Manchester City fans in "Sports Life" are "enhance" for Bridge: "Since ** Bridge has lost to Terry first, we should win back a city on the court."
As a result, the two highlights of this game have been said.
When the players of both sides shook hands before the start of the game, Bridge did not pay attention to Terry's right hand, but chose to shake a shot and shake hands with the caddie beside him.
The mean British media immediately fell down: "Bridge must think that the caddie's little hand is more sincere and pure than Terry's cheating on his girlfriend's claws."
And Terry's performance was also affected. He was not only directly responsible for the first goal, but also played like sleepwalking throughout the game.
In the end, Chelsea lost 2-4 at home, and the record of 24 consecutive home games was unbeaten.
After the game, Sky Sports only scored the lowest score of 6 points for Terry, and thought that he was facing great psychological pressure. The Daily Telegraph also commented: "Obviously, this is not normal for Terry. The wife incident itself has put a lot of pressure on him, and Bridge's refusal to shake hands has disturbed his mind even more."
Indeed, as the English media said, this is not a normal Terry's due level.
In the first half, Manchester City was in a passive situation with only two shots, but the second time they broke through Hilalio's goal. Terry is directly responsible for this ball.
In the half-time stoppage time, Manchester City's big foot in the backcourt kicked to the middle and front court. Unexpectedly, this unintentional relief caused a mistake in Mikkel's header. After getting the ball, Tevez turned around and broke through Terry. After entering the penalty area, he shook Carvalho. It was too late for Terry to catch up again. Argentine The push shot at 12 yards on the right side of the penalty area was originally weak, but the old goalkeeper Hilaryo obviously had a certain gap from the responsive Cech, and the ball rolled into the far corner. In this regard, The Guardian believes: "In the face of Tevez's strong breakthrough, Terry showed a weakness in speed, and it is useless to catch up again."
Terry's condition in the second half was still unspeakable. In the 48th minute, Adam Johnson shook Maluda and dribbled the ball horizontally. Terry came forward to block it. As a result, he tripped Johnson outside the edge of the penalty area and was warned with a yellow card.
For good, Bridge, the victim of the friend's wife's goal, shot directly from the wall. Perhaps for the purpose of being out for Bridge, the Manchester City player also provoked Terry several times and deliberately interfered with his mind. In the 63rd minute, after Tevez broke into the left side of the penalty area, there was a dispute in the battle for the card position. Tevez even wanted to hit his chest to provoke Terry, and the bad boy Bellamy immediately came forward to help.
And Chelsea's last goal conceded also has something to do with Terry.
In the 87th minute, Wright-Phillips quickly counterattacked and made a cross on the right side of the penalty area, and Bellamy easily shot into the empty goal. In the defensive process of the ball, the left central defender Terry did not put the defense in time, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it. In the end, Terry's data for the whole game was fixed at 46 passes and 40 kicks, and one foul got a yellow card.
In the most prominent release data in the past, Terry's contribution is zero! Before the game, Ancelotti had been depressing Terry before the game: "I don't think there is anything special about the game. It's just an ordinary game for Terry." But looking back, the Guardian's evaluation seemed to hit the nail on the head: "The pressure of public opinion and Bridge's refusal to shake hands made Terry look a little tired. It's normal to have a big discount on the court. This is his worst game of the season.
It is worth mentioning that Terry has been blown up by the opponent's striker for two consecutive games, and both strikers are Argentines. In the away game against Inter Milan in the middle of the week, Milito just took the ball in the penalty area at the beginning. After a simple sudden fake move, he shook Terry's defense to get the shooting angle and broke through Cech's door. Counting the 2-4 defeat, Terry is directly responsible for the first goal loss in two consecutive games.
In fact, Terry is already one of the two best central defenders in football today.
In the 2009 best team selected by UEFA fans, Barcelona central defender Pujol and Terry were selected together.
In the FIFA 11-man best team of the year, Terry and Vidic partnered with the central defender. In addition, Terry also won the honor of Chelsea's Player of the Month. But a wave of friendly wives has changed a lot for Terry.
He will face great public condemnation and psychological pressure, and he can no longer play football wholeheartedly as usual. Although Europeans like to use "Businessisbusiness" to distinguish many events, the overexposure of Terry's private life has seriously interfered with his normal performance as a player.
There is no doubt that although marginal players like Bridge can opt out of the national team as an escape, as an indispensable central defender of the England team, Terry cannot refuse the call of the Three Lions.
Recently, a columnist in The Guardian publicly appealed: "To put aside the current task of the World Cup, we also need a normal Terry to play for Chelsea and the Premier League. Too much privacy news has seriously interfered with his court performance. Our public opinion environment is too harsh. Capello has also deprived Terry of his captain's armband. Now is the time to turn criticism into protection.
Ancelotti needs a normal Terry to lead Chelsea to realize the dream of winning the Premier League and the Champions League; Capello also needs a normal Terry to help England achieve something in the World Cup. Behind the ridicule of the outside world, many people should be responsible for the slippage of Terry's competitive state. In contrast, the remarks before the match between Ancelotti and Mancini show two completely different cultural atmospheres in Italy and England on the treatment of private life. Manchester City coach Mancini called for a fair treatment of Terry before the game, and Ancelotti said, "In Italy, I have never encountered such a public opinion situation."
Chelsea captain Terry's disturbance is good news for Manchester United to a certain extent, and it has indeed helped Manchester United a lot. Now Manchester United's leading 3 points have become a real 3 points.
There is nothing better than this in the League Cup final!
Li Yu has also arrived at Wembley to meet the team, and the well-formed Manchester United is obviously more confident against Villa.
As for the identity of Manchester United No. 9 appearing in the final, many people still don't know the exact news, the starter or the substitute?
Soon, Ferguson gave the answer under the reporter's question: "I have to observe again, but now Li Yu has no problem at all, and she is also fully prepared for the game!"
With the final approaching, Manchester United was unexpectedly sought after by a well-known fan. This fan is none other than Jamaican Flyer Eusein Bolt. According to The Sun, Flying Man fell in love with Manchester United when he watched football on a broken TV when he was a child. He announced that he would watch the live broadcast of the final between Manchester United and Aston Villa with his friends and hoped to celebrate the championship after the game.
But Bolt also admitted that his worship of the Red Devils made him feel very frustrated this season. He explained: "Usually, we are invincible at the beginning of January, but this season is up and down. Maybe it's because of injuries that we can't always find the best 11 people." It is said that after Manchester United missed the toffee game, Fei was so popular that he smashed his spikes on the TV! You should know that he got up at 8 a.m. (Caribbean time) to watch the Red Devils game!
Bolt also had a coaching addiction in an interview: "When Carrick and Fletcher played at the same time, I felt great. At the same time, I hope there will be two partners on the front line, instead of letting Rooney fight alone. Beba disappointed me. He needs to take it to the next level. Our defense is now the main problem. If Vidic and Ferdinand can play at the same time, we will be safe. Unfortunately, we can't wait for this day.
At tomorrow's Wembley Stadium, fans will wait and see if the Red Devils can defend the league cup trophy. If the Flying Man's TV can make a statement, it must also hope that Manchester United will win, so that it will no longer be hit by the fate of "shoes"!
At 15:00 British local time, the 2009/10 English League Cup final was contested at Wembley Stadium.
Villa won at Old Trafford for the first time in 26 years this season, which is also Villa's only victory in the last 26 games between the two sides. In the remaining 25 matches, Manchester United scored 21 wins and 4 draws.
This is also the reason why Villa has been unbeaten against Manchester United in the league this season since 1997. The two sides have met six times in the League Cup, and Manchester United's only victory was in 1975. In the 1994 final, Villa defeated the Red Devils 3-1. The defending champion Manchester United beat Tottenham Hotspur for the third time last season, while Villa won the championship six times, second only to Liverpool, who won seven times.
After the opening, Li Yu has become the focus of Villa players. People are still worried about whether Manchester United No. 9 will have any accidents in the high confrontation after the comeback.
However, Li Yu soon dispelled the fans' concerns with a series of wonderful performances. After Li Yu passed three people in a row, she directly kicked the goal and shot, and the audience was full of joy. The omnipotent Manchester United No. 9 is back today!
Although the goal did not score, the fans were not too disappointed. Today's Manchester United will let them enjoy the goal. They are convinced of this!
It's really strange to say that whether it's the media or the fans, as long as Li Yu is in Manchester United's starting lineup, they now feel that Manchester United will score a goal, and the game also makes them feel at ease. This is the peace of mind brought by Li Yu.
Manchester United put pressure on Villa as soon as they opened the game. In the face of this oppression, Villa was extremely passive from the beginning. Even if they got the opportunity to attack, their attack seemed a little messy.
Fletcher and Carrick's cooperation in the midfield guarded the middle. Valencia and Park Ji-sung hit the opponent's defense on the sidelines, while on the front line, Li Yu and Rooney's threats needless to be said.
Li Yu, who has rested for nearly ten days, has already been angry. Li Yu vented all her grievances in this game. He is on the unscrupulous defense line of ** Vera.
Manchester United's crazy attack was effective when the game lasted for 13 minutes.
Li Yu received Rafael's pass and headed the goal.
To be precise, this is a relatively difficult header shot. Li Yu noticed that Villa's goalkeeper Fridel stood relatively forward, and the intentional header was hung in the upper left corner of the goal.
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"
"The goal was scored. As soon as Manchester United came back on the 9th, they sent us a goal and a shot! Head the ball and shoot! Li Yu's header shot!! Look at Friedel's eyes. He has no choice but to head the ball. At this moment, he saw an alien! Manchester United took the lead in the final! Manchester United has always had an advantage on the scene, and it's a matter of course to take the lead!"
Villa's head coach looked extremely angry on the sidelines. He thought that the team's central defender Dunn could not successfully stick to Li Yu, giving Li Yu a chance to play the ball calmly.
If the first conceded ball makes it angry.
Then at the end of the first half, they conceded another goal. At that time, he was already helpless.
The person who scored this goal is Rooney.
Valencia's sharp breakthrough tore up Villa's defense. This time, Downing was deceived by his continuous shaking and lost his center of gravity. He could only watch Valencia pass by him with the ball.
In front of the door, Villa's goalkeeper Friedel is facing the enemy.
Just when Friedel thought that Neche's Valencia would shoot directly, he passed the ball to Rooney. What happened next made Wembley a red sea of joy.
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! One by one in the first half, Manchester United's goals were well allocated!"
2:0! The score in front of the upper half of the wing. Manchester United played very easily, simply finished the lead, and returned to the locker room with the advantage of 2 balls to prepare for the second half of the game!"
In today's Manchester United and the league, Villa's Manchester United, which has a win and a draw, has a huge difference. It means to continue to kill. Can Villa do anything in the second half of the game?
At the end of the first half of the game, the Villa players walked to the player's corridor listlessly and depressedly. Everyone knows that the final trophy of the game can almost be announced to be over ahead of schedule.
Manchester United will not give them any chance today!
Manchester United equalized the score in the 52nd minute. Li Yu stole the front court and broke into the right side of the penalty area. Dunn barely broke the ball, but the follow-up Owen pushed the left corner at 16 yards into the net, which was his 9th goal of the season.
Owen, who replaced Rooney, kicked the football into Villa's goal with the first touch of the ball, 3:0.
Manchester United's goal does not mean to end here.
Manchester United expanded the score again in the 74th minute. Valencia cooperated with Owen and made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Li Yu headed the ball from 10 yards and hung Frieder into the net, which was his 34th goal in all competitions this season.
Manchester United locked the victory early, and the final was completely one-sided. Manchester United's goal performance made the Manchester United fans excited.
At this time, more than 10,000 Villa fans from afar in the stands were completely dumb. They looked at their beloved team and were beaten to the ground by their opponents. Many fans couldn't stand it anymore. They left the stadium early. The champion must have left them, and they could only be sad to stay!
In the 82nd minute, Downing's cross, Collins' header was blocked by Vidic.
In the 85th minute, Valencia passed the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and Li Yu shot high for 15 yards. Subsequently, Gibson replaced Park Ji-sung.
In the 89th minute, Downing made a corner kick, and Deng Enyuan headed the ball and missed the goal.
In the 91st minute, Carrick passed the ball and Valencia's shot on the right side of the penalty area missed the corner.
In the 94th minute, Ashley Young made a cross, and Abanglaho headed the ball from the right side of the penalty area to the near corner.
Villa's efforts in the last few minutes also failed to save face. In the end, Manchester United 4:0 defended the League Cup.
Manchester United finally won the first championship trophy in Europe this season, and it was Li Yu who contributed two goals.
In the face of the first final of the season, Ferguson did not dare to neglect, but he was entangled. Villa is not a good player. Manchester United's record against Villa in the league this season is shabby - they lost away and drew at home. In times of chaos, no opponent is easy to deal with, not to mention Vera?
But Ferguson obviously cares more about the team's competitiveness at the end of the season. A data is enough to arouse his deep thought: Manchester United has lost nine games in the league this season, all because Li Yu is not in the field for various reasons. Therefore, the Lord repeatedly protected Li Yu's health to make Manchester United 9 appear in the starting lineup. However, Ferguson still chose to let Rooney rest. At the beginning of the second half, Rooney was prepared for the next league.
Ferguson's entanglement is not unreasonable. The competition in the Premier League this season is unprecedentedly fierce. Counting that Chelsea was defeated by Manchester City at home on Saturday and suffered their first home defeat, the total number of losses in the quarterfinals has reached 24 so far. The so-called strongest defense line of the Premier League looks weak in front of Manchester City's mercenaries, and Ramsey's broken leg when visiting Stoke City is more cruel. After this week, the gap between the top three points has changed again. There are still 10 rounds left in the season, and no one has a sure 3 points, just like Manchester United won the championship.
It is undeniable that Li Yu's performance this season is amazing, and there is indeed a tendency to be replaced by C. Luo. Since Henry, Van Ni and C. Luo left one after another, he has become the first brand star in the Premier League, especially in Asia. Li Yu has made the Premier League into an unparalleled football league.
After winning the League Cup, he can also look forward to the League and the Champions League. However, a League Cup final has shown that it is not easy to win. As a new brand in the Premier League, Li Yu's first championship actually alluds to the chaotic situation of the Premier League at the turning point.
The new ruler is coming, and now the strong are competing one after another. I don't know how long it can last?
