Chapter 586 League Cup Final
Steven Gerald and Anthony Gerald.
Two brothers with the same surname and different destiny, one is the top team in the Premier League and the other is the top club in the Championship.
In addition to this, there is another interesting thing.
This is the 30th time the two teams have played in history. What is unexpected is that Liverpool is at an absolute disadvantage.
The score of 9 wins, 18 losses and 3 draws is very telling, and Liverpool lags behind the opponent in all historical records.
They even lost 1-6 to Cardiff in December 1957.
Therefore, this game was nicknamed by the media as Liverpool's [Battle of Justice].
Liverpool has reached the League Cup finals 10 times before, and this time, that would be eleven.
Moreover, they won 7 times in the previous 10 times!
It's the most among all teams!
The well-deserved King of the League Cup!
If Liverpool can win the final this time, it will set a new record for winning the League Cup.
This is also where Dalglish surpasses Ferguson.
Because in this game, Manchester United has never been able to surpass Liverpool.
Of course, this game also attracted a lot of attention.
Now every game at Liverpool is focused on, and people want to find the key to victory from Liverpool's rise this season.
...
Inside the passage of Wembley Stadium.
Henderson was jumping and warming up with some excitement. This was his first final.
Even in the League Cup, it is still the final.
He looked at Lindy in front of him: "We will win the championship, right?"
Lindy nodded with a smile. He could vaguely see the championship trophy outside the passage. He turned to Henderson and said, "It must be won. If you lose, you will be punished to run 20 laps around the Melwood training base!"
The smile on Henderson's face suddenly froze: "Why did I punish me if I lost? I have practiced very carefully recently!"
"Because you talk too much!" It was Carragher who spoke, patted Henderson on the shoulder and blinked at him.
Henderson was a little dissatisfied and pointed at Maguire who was stretching and said, "Can those who are as dull as him be welcome?"
Maguire didn't hear their conversation clearly, and saw Henderson pointing at him, and even reached out to signal.
While everyone was talking, Cardiff's players also walked out of the locker room wearing blue and white jerseys.
The players on both sides had an unusual understanding at this moment.
Everyone's eyes were focused on each other's Gerald.
Especially the Liverpool players led by Lindy stared at Anthony Gerald who was walking over like a curious baby.
Then he immediately looked back at Gerald in his team.
"This is not exactly like it!"
The Liverpool players said in unison.
In their eyes, Anthony Gerald was like a growing Gerald.
Well, the bloated face version of Gerald.
At this time, Gerald rolled his eyes and was about to turn the sky, a group of childish ghosts.
"How many times have we said that we are cousins, not brothers!"
But a voice came from behind: "I'll just say it? It's impossible, after today's game, you will be responsible for recharge."
Then everyone laughed again, and I don’t know which fool was the sucker.
However, the opponent's reaction was very cold, and he saw the Liverpool player's appearance.
A rare and strange expression on his face.
In England, few people have never seen Steven Gerald, and it is not the first time they have seen Gerald in front of a TV.
Of course, I know that the two cousins look different.
When the two cousins met, they just hugged each other, after all, they were their own masters.
The players slowly walked out of the passage.
Listening to the familiar singing on the scene, Lindy once thought she had arrived at Liverpool's home court.
The League Cup trophy placed in front of the player channel is so dazzling in Lindy's eyes.
After the Golden Globes, Lindy was particularly strict with herself.
The League Cup champion is already within his plan.
...
"Today, Liverpool, wearing a red jersey, lined up a 442 formation. Left player Downing had to change his team due to discomfort in his legs."
"Starting goalkeeper: De Gea, defenders: Johnson, Carragher, Maguire, Enrique, midfielder looks like a diamond position Lindy, Henderson, Gerald, Griezmann, forward line
The partners Giroud and Suarez.”
"Cardiff's side, starting goalkeeper: Heaton...center-back Anthony Gerrard...forward: Jamie, Mason."
"It can be seen that Liverpool, who has sent out a full set of main lineups, is determined to win this game, and the price difference between the players on both sides is as high as 220 million."
"The central defender Anthony Gerrard, who chose to play for Ireland, is worth only 100,000 euros, while Steven Gerrard is worth 20 million euros."
"Of course, the results of the game are not calculated based on the value."
"Okay, with the referee's whistle, the 2011-12 final of the England League Cup has officially begun. Let's see whether Liverpool won the eighth League Cup trophy in team history or Cardiff won the team.
The first league trophy in history.”
This is the final, and Liverpool attacked with all their strength as soon as they came out.
Obviously, Dalglish also knows the principle of lion fighting against rabbits.
They have taken the absolute initiative from the first minute of the game.
After Lindy received the ball in the midfield, she glanced at the forward Masen who was snatching the opponent, and a small change of direction was wiped directly.
As the first time at the opening, Lindy aroused a lot of cheers.
But Lindy did not stop because of this and directly dribbled the ball from the middle.
It seems like ignoring the opponent's defense.
Gunathan saw Lindy being so arrogant, and rushed up without caring about it and just made a tackle.
But Lindy just stopped and changed direction, fully applying his recent dribbling skills.
"After two consecutive days, Lindy is in a very good condition today." James was a little excited. This was Lindy's first champion to conquer Britain.
"Do you want to come again?"
Watching Lindy continue to move forward, Cardiff's players seemed a little insulted.
Two players, one left and one right, rushed towards Lindy directly.
Just at this moment
Lindy leaned to the left, then knocked away the person and sent a pass directly.
Gerald faced his brother and shot with a long shot without hesitation.
Fortunately, Cardiff goalkeeper Heaton reacted quickly and saved the ball.
But football is still in the penalty area.
But at this moment, a ghost suddenly appeared.
Before the defender cleared the ball, he stretched out his foot and stabbed the ball in.
“1 to 0!”
"Suarez's supplementary shot!"
"Liverpool won the first goal in just 1 minute and 02 seconds!"
"It seems that today's luck seems to be on Liverpool's side."
After scoring the goal, Suarez punched hard and greeted Liverpool fans.
The entire Wembley Stadium was trapped in a sea of red joy.
Many fans have even started singing "onekiss" to celebrate the goal.
Although they are very confident about the team's championship.
But when you see a goal, who can keep calm?
Look at Daglish on the sidelines, facing the eighth League Cup championship trophy in club history.
He also raised his fists and turned around to cheer with the fans.
No matter how many times you have, you won’t get tired of it!
Chapter completed!
