During the training early the next morning, Xiangnan discovered that all his teammates were so fierce. When fighting, they seemed to be taking K drugs. This also scared Brian, the team doctor next to him, and the assistant coach Wilkins had to interrupt the game several times, making the players be careful when they were on their feet. He didn't want to, before the game started, the non-combat reduction was caused by the over-excitation of his players.

Uh...but, I have to say, this one is really amazing when you have a half-day vacation!!!

Last night, when it was almost 10 o'clock, Wilkins looked at the players returning to the hotel like soft-footed shrimps in the hotel lobby, and were still worried that these overworked guys would not have any spirit or condition today. However, now it seems---

Women are indeed the strongest booster for football!!

Uh...this...

Ashley Cole made a long pass with a big foot, passing the ball to an open space on the right. Xiangnan kept changing positions and passing the ball at the left back, and it started to start.

Ashley Cole's pass was a bit big. When he was moving south at high speed, he did not slow down. He stretched out his right foot, paused gently on the turf, hooked the ball in front of him with his toes, and took off the ball skillfully, controlled the ball, adjusted it slightly, then rubbed his right foot and the ball drew a graceful arc-

Beautiful stop!!

If Mr. Wilson saw this artistic stop and got rid of the pass, he would definitely take off his hat and pay tribute again!!

The arc was extending, Drogba jumped high, and a powerful head chased, sending the ball into the goal of the substitute without any suspense. Kudicini barely responded...

Wilkins shouted loudly, applauding this beautiful counterattack. The attack just now took less than ten seconds from Ashley Cole's cut off Sidwell's pass in the backcourt to launching a counterattack, stopping the ball south, assisting, and scoring the goal...

Cardiff's Millennium Stadium (LLENNM-TDM) is a very modern stadium, which is also the home stadium of the Welsh national team. Located by the TF Lake, it has become a landmark building in Cardiff City.

However, interestingly, this Welsh football temple was not built for football matches at the beginning. In 1999, the Welsh Rugby League spent 126 million pounds to build a millennium stadium for hosting the 1999 World Cup. The new stadium can accommodate 74,500 spectators. It is the second and largest sports field in Europe and the world with a ceiling. **** and in order to develop the versatile value of the stadium, it specially used a movable playing lawn. In 2005, the World Car Rally was even held on the stadium.

May 17, 2008, Cardiff, sunny day.

A large number of fans began to gather outside the square outside the Millennium Stadium, waiting to enter the venue.

The fans of the Pompeii Army carried the banner and walked from the left side of the square with banners. Although it was only May, some fans were already shirtless, carrying wine bottles, and roaring towards the entrance of the court.

The Welsh police, who had been on high alert at Millennium Stadium, immediately dispatched and quickly controlled the guys carrying wine bottles and pressed onto the police car. Before these guys' fans and brothers reacted, they left.

On the FA Cup final day, Cardiff Millennium Stadium was listed as a zero-alcohol sales area. All alcoholic beverages near the stadium or places where alcoholic beverages may be sold will either be closed or have been registered with Cardiff Police Station, promising not to sell any alcoholic beverages.

On the right side of the square, a large number of Chelsea fans began to appear. Of course, the same goes for several brothers to take out the tickets they had been controlled by the police before they could be taken out.

These unfortunate guys are either full of alcohol or simply holding beer bottles in their hands. Their relationship doesn't take the Welsh police seriously...

Of course, there are also several football hooligans who have already been on the police blacklist. They have bought air tickets. When they are waiting for boarding at the England airport, they are controlled by the police. Occasionally, there are brave brothers who enter Cardiff from other places. When they appear outside the Millennium Stadium, they are also pushed into the police car and taken away directly. Several large-screen TVs have been prepared in the police station to provide these guys with the best quality and humanized service. Sir Michael from Cardiff Police Station in Wales.)

Xiangnan sat in the bus's window position. He liked the window position. Now, the middle window position is almost a special seat towards the south.

The sun is bright outside the window, and Wales is a beautiful place. If Wales is a beautiful lady, Cardiff is the moment when this beautiful lady smiles the most charming and her heart is moved.

When the bus passed several streets, you can see that in the small stadium beside the street, some children were happily chasing the black and white elves, enjoying the power of dreams and happy laughter...

Xiangnan was a little confused, which reminded him of his childhood, Lennon, Simung, Harrison, Mott, Bill, and other friends' faces kept popping up in his mind. From his childhood childishness to now, they have been working hard on their own paths and moving forward.===

Xiangnan understood that even on the day he was old, whenever he remembered his childhood, when he was chasing his dreams with Ximang and others on the training ground in the Walong District, he would still show the happiest smile. This is the purest love and innocent friendship...

"Andre, what do you think?"

Joe Kerr sat beside Xiangnan and saw his teammates looking thoughtfully out the window. He looked at him and saw nothing.

"Joe, look at them, how much they look like when we were kids..."

Joker followed the gesture to the south and looked out the window. A child about ten years old was dribbling the ball, shook the child who was defending himself, and shot with a weak force. The goalkeeper was clumsy and did not save him. The child who scored the goal excitedly took off the small jersey of the Welsh national team on his body, cheered happily on the training ground, and hugged his teammates warmly...

The bus continued to drive slowly, and Joe Cole's eyes retracted. He didn't say anything. This scene was experienced by European football players when they were young. This nostalgic feeling is understandable but indescribable...

"Andre, do you know? When I was a child, my biggest dream was to be able to touch the FA Cup trophy. If I had obtained the land for the club myself, it was God's greatest favor. Now, my dream has long been realized, but every moment I hold a new trophy and every moment I hit the new land, I still can't help but feel excited!!"

"Joe, don't worry, today, we will hold the FA Cup." Xiangnan's eyes continued to be outside the window, and he could already see the spectacular appearance of Millennium Stadium, "I'm ready!!"

The bus passed a bend and entered the square of Millennium Stadium.

Chelsea fans made a way out and cheered for their team with applause and cheers. A few young fans were chasing the bus, eager to get an autograph from their favorite players. ***** or just the look of the stars was satisfied.

Fans cheered, and the names of each player cheered for their own stars.

Andre!!!

Xiangnan noticed a little fan holding his No. 9 jersey, staggering and falling to the ground. The fan next to him quickly helped the little fan up.

The little fan behind her got up and felt the pain in her knees. At this time, she raised her head and saw Xiangnan watching him and making a V-shaped gesture to him. Suddenly, she felt that her knee that had just fallen no longer hurts, and he said to himself---

That was Andre. He saw me, he gestured to me, I must not let Andre see me crying, but he was embarrassed---

Dad, Andre made a gesture to me, we will win, right?

Yes, child!! Because we have an omnipotent Andrey!! The father picked up the child and rode him around his neck.

Portsmouth fans did not have time to boo and greet the Chelsea bus, because, as if it had been discussed, the Pompeii Legion bus also arrived, and the Pompeii fans sent the greatest applause and blessings to their heroes...

However, it is obvious that the two teams, the soon-to-be opponents, met in this situation, which obviously was something the organizer did not want to see, which may also bring safety concerns to the public security at the scene. Chelsea's bus entered the door of the internal bus parking lot of Millennium Stadium. Once you stepped on the accelerator, you went in first!!

The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, like Wembley Stadium, also has an almost curse-like data. The data shows that in previous and many major competitions, teams using the South locker room of Cardiff Millennium Stadium cannot win. For example, Chelsea, the runner-up of the 2002 FA Cup, and Arsenal, the runner-up of 2001, are all used by the South locker room, which has become an almost superstitious curse of a Millennium Stadium...

Unfortunately, in the draw before the game, Chelsea captain Terry once again continued his bad luck and won the South locker room at Millennium Stadium.

However, this time the team's reaction to this has become relatively dull. Even Grant did not use this as a weapon to mobilize his players. For Chelsea, who had already broken a spell in the League Cup final, it seems that he has a destiny to break the spell.^^    ^^

The locker room was silent, only Grant explained the tactical deployment on the tactical version. The Tel Aviv English accent of the Israelites has undergone a great improvement, at least it sounds less nasal.

"Ricardo, John, you must be careful of the Ugandan's header." Grant wrote Portsmouth's No. 17 on the tactical version, the name of Ugandan striker John Utaka, and then explained to Terry and Carvalho again. Terry and Carvalho nodded to show their understanding.

"Michael," Grant looked at Essin and wrote the name of Portsmouth's No. 11 Sure Montari on the tactical version. "Mentari and you are a teammate of the Ghana national team. You should understand his characteristics and stick to him and don't give him a chance to shoot long shots near the penalty area."

"Marklele. You are here to help, and be careful of Croatian Kranicar, who can shoot with both left and right feet and is very fast."

Kranicar's father was Croatian coach zltk-krnjr. When Kranicar was recruited into the national team at that time, there was a lot of doubts in the country, but zltk-krnjr insisted on selecting talents and not avoiding relatives. Kranicar quickly used his good performance to prove that he could enter the Croatian national team. He relied on his own strength, not by taking the backdoor. Now in Croatia, Kranicar has praised Kranicar as the second in Boban...

Xiangnan looked at his head coach with confidence and told the Israelites that he was ready.

Obviously, Grant is very satisfied with the vigorous fighting spirit shown by his No. 9. "Andre, please pay attention to using your own technical and speed advantages. Tear the defense line of Portsmouth, their central defender, No. 1 Sylviney Distin's turn is slow."

"Didier, if you try long shots near the penalty area, James will easily lose his hands."

Drogba didn't say anything, and a smile appeared on his lips, familiar with the Ivorians knowing it. This is the cruel smile of the African elephant...

Uh... I have to say that the Israelites really have the potential to be conspirators...

Amen, I observed a silence for the former England gate in advance...

The North locker room at Millennium Stadium is a different scene.

It is different from the fiery passion under the calm surface of Chelsea, here.\\\\\\ is completely the lava that is already erupting.

Portsmouth's head coach, Redknapp, looked at his disciples and held his arms habitually.

"I think everyone knows the importance of today's local competition."

"This is our last game this season. If you win, you are the heroes of Portsmouth. If you lose, those guys will say, look at those damn idiots, they have nothing this season again!!"

"Would you like to let those shit-like guys succeed? Answer me!!" Old Redknapp punched the table and looked up at his player.

"I don't want to!!" Everyone's roar sounded in the room.

Old Redknapp nodded. This is the effect he wants. In terms of the player's personal ability, he admitted that the guy in the room opposite was much stronger than his own. However, Old Redknapp firmly believed a little--

Even lions should be afraid of a group of hungry wild wolves!!

Now, what he has to do is to let these wild wolves feel hungry for championship and honor, and then infinitely amplify this feeling of hunger!!

"You are not much worse than those guys in the next room who earn several times your annual salary!! You have to prove it to everyone that you are the champion!!! Tell me, are you the champion?"

The atmosphere in the North locker room reached a boiling point, and the man's hunger was filled with the blood of every Portsmouth player, flowing in his body...

As night gradually descended, huge and bright lights shone on Cardiff Millennium Stadium, suddenly there was a sacred feeling, and there was a passionate sound of waves.

The 74,500 fans at Millennium Stadium are venting their inner hunger, the flags are flying, and the singing is loud, and everyone is waiting for the start of the game.

"It's out, they're out!!"

With a huge cheer and a surging sound, the ceiling of Millennium Stadium almost overturned!!

The players of Chelsea and Portsmouth, each of them held their heads high, their proud eyes, the flames of fighting, and their powerful steps, stepped onto the turf of the Millennium Stadium!!

The fans still shouted loudly about the names of their favorite stars. At this time, the starting lineup of both sides was also played on the big screen of the stadium. As the on-site commentator did not read a player's name, it would make an explosion sound.

Terry Lampard, Chelsea's chief and vice captain's name and Joe Cole's name have aroused the cheers of Chelsea fans like tsunami, which also proves the unique position of the chief and vice captain and Joe Cole in the owner of Stamford Bridge.

The on-site commentator obviously has a deep understanding of the fans' psychology and knows who will talk about the fans' darlings. I have to say that this on-site commentator is a competent guy--

"Below is Chelsea's No. 9--

The commentator pulled the voice long-

Responding to his crazy cheers in the South Stand---

Before the game began, Andre’s Song was hovering over the Millennium Stadium, like a flame of endless passion!!

Joanna was also shouting for her boyfriend in the VIP stands. At this moment, all her reserve and shyness were infected by passion and strong love.

Joanna could clearly feel in the VIP stand that just now, the cheers in the South stand were almost the same as the cheers Terry enjoyed. Although the little beauty was not a fan, she also knew what Terry, the captain and soul of Chelsea, meant to the hearts of the Blues fans. This made Joanna feel a hint of irresistible pride in her heart!!

A moving and beautiful look was on the grass of the Millennium Field. The man who was doing preparation activities in the middle circle and jumped twice from time to time was his lover. A man who made countless people crazy!!

Joanna will never forget the words that Xiangnan said to him when she and Xiangnan just met---

When I stepped into the stadium, I felt that I was the king of this stadium, and this was my territory!! When my feet touched the ball, my blood was boiling. When the time for scoring came, listening to the cheers of the fans of the venue, this is my value. I brought the greatest joy and happiness to those who love me---

I enjoy this feeling of happiness!!

With the roar of the Millennium Stadium commentator, Mr. Wilson of Sky Sports also joined his partner Reinkell to report the starting lineup of both sides of the game for the audience in front of the TV--

Chelsea:(4-3-1-2)

Goalkeeper: 1-Peter Cech;

Defence: 5-Michael Essin, 26-John Terry, 6-Ricardo Carvalho, 3-Ashley Cole;

Midfielder: 4-Marklele, 8-Frank Lampard, 13-Michal Barack, / 10-Joe Cole

Midfielder: 11-Suré Montari, 8-Lasana Diyala, 30-Padro Mendes, 19 Nico Kranica

Forward: 17-John Utaka, 1-David Nugent

"This is the strongest lineup that both sides can rank. It can be imagined that this will be an extremely exciting game!!" Mr. Wilson took a sip of water.

"Portsmouth is indeed very capable. It is definitely not accidental that they can enter the finals. Redknapp's team can always make people shine in key games."

"The competition is about to begin. Let us welcome the decisive battle with the warmest cheers!!"

Xiangnan's eyes were set on the FA Cup championship trophy next to the stadium, the glittering trophy, lying quietly on the side of the stadium, she was waiting, waiting for the birth of the strongest, waiting for the glory and dizzy moments of excitement when she lifted her high.

"Andre, that will be ours!!" Joe Kerr noticed Xiangnan's gaze and said behind Xiangnan. "Yes, she will be ours!!" Chelsea No. 9 nodded heavily!!

In the finals, the real Warriors and Kings have only one goal, that is, championship and honor!!

What?!!

You said runner-up?!!

The runner-up means nothing to the king, this is an insult to a real fighter!!

The glory of the champion is the limit of a man's desperate gaze!!

As the night falls, the lights fill, the passion burns...
Chapter completed!
