Chapter 194 Alan Hardaker Award

"Gooooal!"

"Goooooooal!"

"Goooooooooooooooooooooal!"

"2:0, Dong scored, Manchester United scored again! Their League Cup championship is almost here."

"What do Liverpool do? They are already two goals behind."

"Oh, God, the two of them are gay again, and they also joined Rooney..."

In the 76th minute, Dong Fangzhuo rewritten the score to 2:0. In such a final, leading by two goals, it is difficult for the plot to reverse again.

"Dong's ball fully demonstrated his excellent running awareness. Most forwards would never run like this, but he ran out of opportunities like this."

"Hypia must have forgotten he existed."

"..."

Manchester United relied on their tenacious fighting spirit to deal with Liverpool until this point, and then launched a wave of attacks, completely kicking Liverpool into the abyss of death.

Wembley Stadium is half a sea of ​​joy and half a hell of pain. Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans form two completely different pictures.

The joyful Manchester United fans have already begun to celebrate. Some fans have hung up a League Cup championship banner in the fan seat like a magic trick, with the name of Manchester United embroidered on it...

Two years ago, Liverpool fans did the same thing in front of them, when Manchester United finished second.

Now, it's their turn to laugh at the Liverpool fans!

In about ten minutes, Manchester United will win!

Ferguson finally began to change players. He boldly let these players play on the court for so long and finally won the championship.

In fact, there is nothing he can replace. After all, there is only one substitution place, and the previous two places were passively given to Giggs and Keane. He left this spot to Ronaldo, and Philip Neville came on to replace Ronaldo.

Ronaldo got off the field and received warm applause from Manchester United fans, but the game continued. The next game will be more challenging, because Liverpool will definitely launch the fiercest attack to try to regain the ground they lost.

But too many positions were lost, how could they recover them?

"Dong should be replaced and let Dong enjoy the cheers!"

"No, he should probably stay on the field because Manchester United doesn't have a fourth captain! He is the spiritual pillar of the team!"

Lineker's words were somewhat contradictory, but he did guess what Ferguson was thinking. Anyone can play, but Dong Fangzhuo must stay on the court.

Neville came up and strengthened Manchester United's midfield defense. It was a bit of a dream for Liverpool to score two goals in a row. Manchester United's players are not rookies and cannot collapse at the last moment. Everyone thinks they will get something at the end of the game, so they will only leave the failure to the Liverpool people.

As time passed by, Liverpool was getting further and further away from the championship. The ball kept flying into Manchester United's penalty area and flew out again and again. Dong Fangzhuo still rushed towards every ball that flew out. No matter if there was a chance or not, he would try to drive Liverpool's defense.

Carragher, who was originally following Dong Fangzhuo, couldn't help but abandon the task given to him by Benitez and took the initiative to step forward, leaving only Hyypia staring at Dong Fangzhuo in the backcourt.

But this is not something that one person can change. Although Dong Fangzhuo's threat has become smaller, Manchester United's midfield and backfield are more stable, because at this time, all Manchester United players are focused on defense.

As the game entered stoppage time, the fans gallery became even more lively.

There are some unsteady Liverpool fans who can't stand the defeat and have begun to leave, swearing. Not all fans are so KOP and will accompany the team until the end. You will never walk alone, it is not a fairy tale, but you must also accept the reality. …

"Farquhar Benitez, go to hell with your team."

"Fack United."

“Fake the Chinese.”

Countless insults...

beep--

beep--

beep--

At that moment, Carragher and Hyypia really wanted to rush to Dong Fangzhuo and beat him up...

"The game is over! Manchester United are the 2004-05 League Cup champions!"

"This is their first championship honor of the season."

The moment the whistle sounded, the Manchester United coaching staff and players on the bench all rushed into the stadium...

All the Manchester United players on the field hugged each other. The air at Wembley Stadium was so hot at this moment that it only belonged to the red Manchester United.

I don’t know why, but this year’s League Cup seems particularly exciting.

In the past, teams were really not interested in this trophy. Besides the league championship, Manchester United cared more about the FA Cup championship. However, they were not as excited as when they won the FA Cup last year.

This can be seen when Keane limped and Giggs walked onto the field, with happy smiles on their faces.

In fact, since the creation of the League Cup, this is only the second time that Manchester United has won this award. In the long history of the League Cup, Manchester United did not win this championship for the first time until 1992. However, they have won the runner-up many times, including the year before last. Lost to old rival Liverpool and finished second.

"Manchester United captain, Chinese Dong won the Alan Hardaker Award. He became the best player in the game and deserved it!"

The League Cup has been awarding the best player in the finals since 1990. It is named after Alan Hardaker, the secretary of the English Football League who founded the League Cup. It is called the "Alan Hardaker Award".

Dong Fangzhuo has no interest in this award. His eyes are fixed on the shining League Cup championship trophy not far away, which is more attractive.

The captain's armband is still wrapped around his left arm, and he is quite excited at the thought of lifting the trophy with his own hands soon. I feel ashamed talking about it. In the domestic youth championships, he was really soft on winning awards, but after joining the adult team, he never won a championship medal. The only one closest to the championship was Manchester United in 2008. A double champion, but due to insufficient playing time, he didn't even get a chance to wear a medal, and was often ridiculed by Chinese fans.

According to FA regulations, only those members of the championship team who have played 10 or more times in the club's league season are eligible to win championship medals. In the Champions League, Dong Fangzhuo was not even included in the squad, so he naturally did not win the championship. medal.

but now!

Dong Fangzhuo, wearing the captain's armband, lowered his head to kiss the trophy, then raised it high above his head and shouted loudly:

"we are the champion!"

All the pain of the year was gone in an instant. He finally truly became a winner in life.

This definitely won't be the last time!

A few tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, both sour and sweet.

No one knows that he has been waiting for a championship that truly belongs to him for 14 years.

Then, the championship trophy was snatched away by Ronaldo and the others...

"Dong, why did you calm down so quickly?"

Next to Dong Fangzhuo, the old captain Keane looked a little confused. Just now he saw Dong Fangzhuo excited like a child who got candy, but now he is so indifferent?

"Because, this is just the beginning."
