Chapter 436 Wembley Stadium
Outside Wembley Stadium, countless fans of both sides have gathered.While waiting to enter the arena, they also sang loudly. Although the game has not yet started, for the fans, the game has already begun. They are comparing whose voice is louder, whose movements are the most neat, whose song The most exciting.

United fans rioted at the sight of the Manchester United team bus, with applause and cheers for the team's heroes - and, of course, shrill boos from Chelsea fans to the United team bus The sound and the middle finger erected like a forest.

"It's really lively." Li Rui sighed comfortably when he saw the following scene in the car. "I can't wait for the game..." He saw the big Manchester United No. 10 jersey held by fans, and there were banners and slogans supporting him. These made Li Rui's blood boil. He is a big-time player. He was excited.

Thinking of the excitement that made the heart jump out of his throat when he won the championship trophy, Li Rui felt his whole body tremble, which really made people's blood boil.

He was born for this kind of big scene.
***********
Seeing that the bus was about to enter the special parking lot, at this time, a bus slowly approached not far away.

"Look, that's Chelsea's bus!" Shouted the sharp-eyed Rooney.

Li Rui turned his head and looked through the window. It was indeed Chelsea's bus. Looking at the posture, the two buses might even bump into each other and drive into the parking lot side by side.

"Hey, this is really interesting." Cassano said, he was crazy all by himself, and now the buses of the two teams are about to meet. Considering that there are so many crazy fans outside, the police must have a headache. It's better not to make any trouble, but Cassano doesn't care about it, he thinks it's interesting.

***********
The police who were maintaining order also noticed this situation, "Damn, how did they meet together?"

Complaints are complaints, things are already like this, they can only try their best to maintain the safety of the scene, and don't make any troubles.

However, the police's worries quickly dissipated, because Chelsea's bus suddenly exerted force, grabbed ahead of Manchester United's bus, made a sharp turn and drove into a dedicated parking lot, leaving the buttocks of Manchester United's bus.

Seeing that Chelsea's bus came from behind, they left them and went to the front. In the Manchester United bus, everyone also cursed, and some players even muttered softly. Does this indicate a bad omen?
Don't blame the players for making a fuss, and don't say they are superstitious. This kind of thinking is normal in the football circle. Similar superstitious thoughts are not isolated cases, and fatalism and the like still have a certain market in this circle.

Ferguson glared at everyone, no one dared to say anything, the bus followed Chelsea's bus into the parking lot, and everyone got off.

***********
What the Manchester United people didn't know was that there was a burst of laughter in the Chelsea bus. Just now, Chelsea coach Mourinho suddenly said to the bus driver, "Drive faster and overtake the Manchester United people."

And then there's what happened next.

When the Chelsea bus passed the Manchester United bus, all the Mourinho players said, "We have surpassed the Manchester United people. What I want to say is that this is all I can do. The rest is Watching you guys on the pitch."

The players laughed knowingly about Mourinho's little humor.

This is Mourinho, some people don't like him, some scold him, some hate him, but there are few players in the team he coached who don't miss him, the Portuguese seems to have some kind of magic.

***********
After closing the locker room door, the singing outside was still a bit deafening. Of course, it cannot be said that the sound insulation effect of this stadium is not good. You must know that the remodeled Wembley Stadium definitely meets the UEFA five-star standard.

It can only be said that for this final, the fans of both sides showed unimaginable enthusiasm. This is the first game of the FA Cup final returning to Wembley Stadium. Many old fans came here with memories of this stadium. to the scene.

***********
Li Rui sat on the seat and pressed it against the wall, feeling a strange coolness on the wall. He could hear singing, boos, applause, and even stomping in the stadium. vibration.

Ferguson explained the tactical arrangement of the game again. After all this, he looked at the time. When he was about to play, Ferguson raised his hand: "This game is the final of the FA Cup. What I want to say Yes, win him! It will be our second championship trophy this season!! I look forward to drinking champagne to celebrate with you!" Having said this, he paused and took a deep breath.

"This title! is our prelude to conquering Europe!!! Win Chelsea! Get this title! Then, a week later, let's go and conquer all of Europe - to terrify our opponents!! Let Chelsea beat ours Fear, starting from this game, is rooted in my heart!!"

"Let them fear! The champion is ours!!" Following the roar of Gary Neville, the captain of the game, everyone followed him.

***********
When the Manchester United players rushed out of the dressing room, they found that the Chelsea people were already waiting in line in the player tunnel.Everyone is an old opponent. If you count today's game, the two teams have met for the third time this season. It can be said that there is no secret at all for both sides in this game. It depends on the players' on-the-spot performance and the head coach's tactical changes at any time.

The entire stadium has been warmed up and is waiting for the players to play.

The North Stand where the Manchester United fans are located is near the exit of the player tunnel. They sang their own songs and stared at the exit of the player tunnel.

Their captain Gary Neville was the first to step forward. Immediately, the singing of Manchester United fans completely covered the voices of Chelsea fans.But Chelsea captain Terry came out only half a second behind, and the Chelsea fans also burst into applause.

*********
The media at the press booth also started to work, and the flash lights flickered like daylight.

The starting stars of both sides came out of the player tunnel one by one, walked towards the court, and waved to receive the cheers and compliments from the fans.But when Li Rui appeared in front of everyone, the cheers of the entire stadium suddenly reached the highest point.
"Li Rui——!"
The Manchester United fans broke out with the greatest enthusiasm, and the cheers suddenly overwhelmed the voice of the Dutch star Arjen Robben who appeared at the same time as the Chelsea fans cheered them.

If the cheers of fans can prove the influence of a star, then Li Rui is undoubtedly the most popular among his fans at Wembley Stadium!
***********
"This is really a duel like sparks hitting the earth! This season, Manchester United and Chelsea have fully confronted and competed for the championship in the league, FA Cup and Champions Cup. In the league that has ended, Manchester United beat Chelsea by 3 points to win the championship , won the first championship, and this FA Cup final is the second championship that the two sides compete for. Whether Manchester United can make persistent efforts to win this championship, or Chelsea can pull back a round. After 90 minutes of the game, Everything will be revealed." Lineker's voice sounded.

"That's right, in this game, I believe most fans don't want to see overtime." Taibi went on to say, and he has a certain basis for saying this. The Olympic Stadium and the final of the Champions Cup collided. If the game was fought too hard, it would definitely affect the excitement of the game that attracted the attention of the whole of Europe.

"Gary, who do you prefer in this game?"

"This question is difficult to answer." Lineker thought for a while and said, "I support Manchester United. The Triple Crown is a difficult goal to achieve, but it is an exciting goal."

Taibi said with a smile that he does not support anyone. He thinks that neither team will fight too hard in this game. After all, although the FA Cup champion is important, it still cannot compete with the Champions Cup champion. Than.

***********
What Taibi said may be able to get a more intuitive impression from the data of the gaming company.

The betting support for Manchester United to win the FA Cup is almost half of those who support Chelsea. This kind of situation is very rare. It can only show that the buyer is also a little uncertain. This game is not just a contest of the strength of the two players. It also depends on the mentality of the players or the head coach of both sides. If a certain team considers giving up the FA Cup and concentrating all their energy on competing for the Champions Cup, it is not impossible.

However, before this game, Chelsea coach Mourinho said that he would try his best to compete for the FA Cup championship, and said that this is a respect for this historic event.

***********
The commentators also began to introduce the starting player lists of both sides when the players of both sides entered the field.

Chelsea -

The goalkeeper is still the Czech Petr Cech, and the combination of Ferreira, Terry, Bridge, and Ashley Cole is listed on the back line. People find it surprising that Ferreira's performance in recent games can only be described as horrible, so Ferreira's appearance seems to bring a trace of suspicion to people. Is Chelsea staying for the Champions League final?
On the midfield line, the French veteran Makelele is still the midfielder, and the German national team captain Ballack, who has returned from injury, occupies the position of the offensive and defensive center, and beside him is Chelsea's deputy Lampard.In addition, Essien, who came in in excellent form, also started the game and was not 'hidden'.

On the forward line, Robben and Drogba are partners.

And Manchester United is still 442, with Li Rui and Rooney partnering forwards, Scholes as the midfielder, Fletcher as the midfielder, Welsh veteran Ryan Giggs on the left, Cristiano Ronaldo on the right, and central defender Wei Wei. Dicky and Ferdinand, left back Evra, right back captain Gary Neville.

***********
"The game is about to start! Let's look forward to the final at the new Wembley Stadium!"
"This is the third time the two sides have played against each other this season. In the two matches in the league, Chelsea were 3:1 away and 3:4 at home. They haven't won yet. I don't know if Chelsea can change this embarrassment at Wembley Stadium. The situation.” The commentator took the time to introduce some background knowledge to the TV audience after the start of the game, or just gossip.

"The referee of this game is Wade. He has enforced a total of 4 Chelsea games this season. In these 4 games, the Blues have two wins and two draws to remain unbeaten. However, in Wade's Manchester United game , Manchester United is 3 wins and 1 loss, also performed well, the only thing that makes Chelsea happy is that they have not lost in Wade's law enforcement game."

Manchester United captain Gary Neville and Chelsea captain John Terry were guessing.It turned out that Terry won over Gary Neville, so Manchester United won the kick-off.

***********
Li Rui knocked the football to Ronaldo behind him. The Portuguese star did not pass the ball back immediately. He stepped on the football. When Lampard came up to press, he stepped on his bicycle twice in a row, and Ronaldo passed. Chelsea's vice-president, and facing Makelele's attack, Ronaldo knocked the football back to Scholes behind him...

After getting the ball, Scholes first knocked the football forward and chased towards it. When Essien came up to interfere, 'Ginger Head' chose to pass the football back. After getting the ball, Fry Che continued to pass back, the football reached Ferdinand's feet, he just stepped on the football, and saw Drogba rushing fiercely, Ferdinand seemed to want to play tricks, as soon as he pulled the football, he wanted to pass Drogba Ba, but the ball was almost intercepted. The shocked Ferdinand could only return the football to the goal in embarrassment, but he did not expect that the strength of the return pass was weak, and he slowly rolled towards Van der Sar...

Drogba also rushed up, Van der Sar didn't dare to be careless, and quickly kicked the football out with a big foot.In a hurry, this big foot drove directly towards the stands.

Chelsea fans in the South Stand of Wembley Stadium applauded the Ivorian striker's hard work.

***********
After driving the football away, Van der Sar was extremely angry. He yelled at Ferdinand. Ferdinand himself was indeed wronged. He came over to apologize to Van der Sar and explained a few more words.

The director also cleverly switched the camera to the sidelines quickly. Ferguson looked particularly angry at Ferdinand's carelessness.

***********
Makelele throws the ball out of bounds.

Robben stopped the ball with his chest, and Fletcher immediately came up to grab the ball. The Dutch international raised his right foot, tapped the heel of his right foot on the football, and the football reached the feet of Ballack who came to meet him.

Ballack put the football straight, and Drogba turned around facing the incoming ball, knocked the football forward, and accelerated. This made Evra, who came up to interfere, fall into the air, and he could only watch helplessly. Roba's back.

The applause from the stands where Chelsea fans rang out again.

"Beautiful, we saw elephants dancing! Drogba is in good shape today, he looks very excited." The commentator said.

***********
Drogba, who caught up with the football, raised his right foot and pretended to shoot, but split the football, and Robben got the ball.

Robben faced Gary Neville who came up to defend him. The Dutch star shook his upper body and pulled his feet at the same time. Then he accelerated and wiped past the Manchester United captain. Gary Neville wanted to chase back, but the speed Can't keep up, after all, age is there.

Absolute speed!

In the thunderous cheers at Wembley Stadium, Vidic came out to intercept.

Just when everyone thought that Robben would continue to dribble, he suddenly cut in, which made him shake the angle of the shot, without the slightest hesitation, when Van der Sar yelled for his defensive teammates to block the shot Amidst the exclamation, Robben raised his right foot, quickly landed, and slammed the middle and lower part of the football——

The football that was drawn flew towards the football with a quick choice. Van der Sar tried his best to dive and made a side attack. After being thrown, the football hit the post and rolled out of the baseline...

corner kick! !
************
This loud bang completely ignited Wembley Stadium. Although no goal was scored, the atmosphere of the entire stadium suddenly became hot.This kind of long shot is always the most refreshing! ! ! !

Manchester United fans were afraid for a while. If they conceded a goal at the beginning, the game would be difficult.

Robben's corner kick, under the pressure of Ferdinand, Drogba hit the football, but the strength was not strong, Van der Sar easily hugged the football.

This is the end of the first attack after the opening of the game.

***********
Giggs controlled the football under his feet and observed the situation in the frontcourt. After colliding with Cristiano Ronaldo, who came to meet him, he made a wall-slamming cooperation, and then winked at Li Rui on the other side.

Li Rui understood, and inserted from the left to the right of the front field.

at the same time.The football flew out from Giggs' feet and rolled towards Li Rui quickly against the turf. Makelele made a half-way shovel against the turf, but the shovel missed.

Li Rui didn't stop the ball, but ran along the football for a certain distance, which just took advantage of its speed, and then Li Rui passed the football before Bridge came out to intercept.

***********
Rooney saw the football rolling towards him. He had just controlled the football under his feet, and when he turned around and was about to pounce in, he bumped into Terry's body. The Chelsea captain didn't know whether it was intentional or not, and his arm just hit the ground. on Rooney's nose.

The little fat man screamed and covered his nose and rolled on the ground. Li Rui, who saw clearly, rushed over immediately, and he protested angrily to the referee Wade.

However, the referee did not see Terry's action, he just fined Terry for a foul.

Manchester United fans booed.

***********
"Wayne, are you okay?"

Li Rui pulled Rooney up, the little fat man patted his butt, and looked at the innocent Terry, feeling very annoyed. Of course he knew that Terry's slap just now was intentional. This England teammate, a small defensive move Not so much.

Terry's foul was very timely. If Rooney successfully got the ball and turned around, it would be dangerous after the little fat man dribbled the ball up. The little fat man is simply a smaller tank. Very threatening.

The free kick is about 29 meters away from the goal. This distance can hit the goal directly, or pass the football into the penalty area, threatening Chelsea's goal with a header.

Ferdinand also came up, and his header was also very threatening. Sure enough, seeing Ferdinand came up, Chelsea also became nervous in the penalty area. Goalkeeper Petr Cech arranged for German star Ballack, who also had a good header, to mark Ferdinand.

***********
Cristiano Ronaldo stood at the penalty spot. After he placed the football, he stepped back and looked at it. He found that the Chelsea team was too close to the wall, and waved to the referee Wade.

Wade naturally saw it too, and he ran over to warn Chelsea captain Terry, asking them to take another two steps back from the wall.

Terry reluctantly complied.But when Wade turned around and walked away, Chelsea's human wall slowly moved up in small steps-this is experience, don't underestimate the height of their take-off by moving these two steps, and the distance from the human wall Relatively close, the height of the free kick taken by the host has not yet come up, it is difficult to cross the wall, and it will be hit back by the wall.

Ronaldo curled his lips, he knew that the Chelsea players must have thought that he was going to shoot directly, so he was so fussy about these two steps.

But what about the truth?

**********
Referee Wade's whistle sounded.

After taking two steps in the run-up, Ronaldo swung his right foot and rubbed the football, but he didn't hit the goal directly, nor did he want to pass the football into the penalty area. Instead, he rubbed it lightly, and then stood beside the Chelsea wall. Fletcher jumped up and headed the ball, rubbing the football to the side.

At the same time, Giggs suddenly rushed up along the left. He moved the football forward, broke free from Robben's pull, broke through to the bottom line, and then kicked the football into the penalty area with his left foot.

***********
The landing point of the football is not in front of the goal, but on the right side of the penalty area. There, Li Rui has been waiting for a long time. It can be said that Manchester United's free kick cooperation is almost a big circle. What about Li Rui, and Chelsea's defense did not expect Manchester United's free kick cooperation.

Makelele rushed to Li Rui immediately. However, Makelele already knew that he was doomed to miss the ball, but he could interfere with Li Rui and prevent him from shooting comfortably.

Once Li Rui is allowed to finish the shot comfortably, any fool will know how threatening it will be.

The football was falling in front of his eyes, and Li Rui was about to raise his foot to volley, but he felt a collision from behind. He had to try to maintain his balance, otherwise, once he raised his foot to shoot, the Chelsea player behind him only needed to push a little harder. Even if Li Rui completes the shot, the shot is not so optimistic.

***********
At this moment, a red shadow appeared in Li Rui's sight.

With a heartbeat and unambiguous feet, Li Rui volleyed from the inside of his right foot to the arch of his foot, and put the football into the penalty area. Then the red shadow rushed out, with a dive-bombing action, He smashed the football into the net at the front point! !

The net was hit by this powerful header, and a big bag was jacked up! !

The ball is in! !

"Boom—" Wembley Stadium seemed to be detonated instantly as if a volcano full of TNT explosives.

After scoring the goal, the little fat Rooney ran on the turf of Wembley Stadium like a fat penguin. His forward drive was very beautiful. When Li Rui passed the ball, Rooney also rushed to the goal. Qi didn't react at all, and could only watch Rooney suddenly burst into the goal with a header.

***********
"GOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAL!!! THE GOAL!! WAYNE ROONEY!! Manchester United took the lead in the 16th minute!! It's only their second shot since the start of the game!!"

"Amazing free-kick coordination! This coordination deceived Chelsea's defense! Li Rui's pass was beautiful, and Rooney's header shamed Bridge who was defending him!!"

"1:0! Manchester United made a perfect start!!!"

Seeing the football headed into the net by Wayne Rooney, Mourinho turned and punched the bench seat.At the same time, on the other side, there was Ferguson doing the same action with him.

The 'Madman' coach did it out of chagrin and anger at losing the ball, while the Scottish old man did it out of excitement and excitement.Because the two teams are too familiar with each other, there must be changes if they want to take the lead, and Manchester United's free kick cooperation is the offensive routine that Manchester United has focused on in recent games. Whether it is Li Rui The possible shot is still Rooney's forward drive behind, one after another, can threaten Chelsea's goal!

***********
After Mourinho vented his anger on the seat, the gloomy Portuguese began to calm down. He didn't get up in a hurry to make any adjustments on the sidelines, but sat on the coach's bench and moved toward the field. After making a 'steady' gesture, there was nothing else to explain, just watching the situation on the field, frowning, thinking about countermeasures.

Now that the ball has been conceded, it is the most stupid thing to complain about it. What Chelsea have to do now is to stabilize and not be affected by this conceded goal.

Chelsea is not the kind of team that has never seen a big scene. The players were just a little dazed when they lost the ball, but they quickly got out of the loss.

**********
Terry fulfilled the duties of the captain very well on the field. He comforted his teammates, encouraged them loudly, and reminded his teammates that conceding the ball at this time is not necessarily a bad thing, it is just a gap of one goal, and there are more than 70 minutes left, which is enough They went chasing points, the important thing is not to concede the ball again.

Indeed, conceding a goal in the last ten minutes of the game is much luckier than conceding the goal in the last ten minutes of the game. For a team, time is the most precious thing, and now Chelsea still has time Go for it!
