The sky turned out to be sunny. Such good weather is definitely rare in February. Although the temperature is only about six or seven degrees, it is much better than rainy weather.
This is Cardiff, the capital of Wales.
Because Wembley Stadium is being expanded, the English League Cup final and FA Cup final are held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium. Among English stadiums, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium is a very outstanding and luxurious stadium.
Although it is not as famous as Wembley Stadium and Old Trafford Stadium, it will definitely not lose to them in terms of luxury.
Even within the scope of European football, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium is a very outstanding stadium, a five-star luxury stadium in Europe.
The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which can accommodate more than 74,000 people, is the national stadium of Wales.
Su Yun always feels that he is lucky.
When he was at Sunderland, he was the first coach to direct the game in Sunderland's new stadium, the Stadium of Light. As soon as the Stadium of Light was newly built, Su Yun became the head coach of Sunderland. Now at Chelsea, the first coach
The League Cup final was held at the Millennium Stadium for the first time, and Su Yun caught up.
Su Yun also became the first coach to hold a cup final at the Millennium Stadium.
If there is no League Cup final, when will we be able to visit the Millennium Stadium? And coming to play games in the future will not be as meaningful as it is now.
At this time, the Millennium Stadium was completely surrounded by fans from both sides.
For Chelsea, the League Cup final is not a much-desired event. A season or two ago, they even deliberately gave up the League Cup because the gold content of the League Cup was too low.
Strong teams like Chelsea cannot be looked down upon.
But no one thinks there are too many champions.
And after these two seasons, Chelsea has always been empty-handed. Two seasons ago, Chelsea was able to win a championship almost every season. Whether it was domestic cups or European competitions.
But nothing has been gained in the past two seasons.
Therefore, the League Cup championship also aroused great interest in them.
The 30,000 tickets allocated to Chelsea fans were sold out. For wealthy Chelsea fans, these tickets for the League Cup final are simply child's play.
Even Birmingham is the same.
There are many fans.
Completely different to Chelsea.
Birmingham's desire for the League Cup is completely incomprehensible to those strong teams. Just as rich people cannot understand the thoughts of poor people, strong teams can never understand the thoughts of small teams. As the old saying goes, a man who is full does not know how to be hungry.
The man is hungry.
But Su Yun is different.
Su Yun, who came from a small team, understands better than anyone else the desire of small teams for glory.
Birmingham Club has only had one League Cup championship in its century-old history. And they have been in low-level leagues all year round. The League Cup championship is a very great honor for them.
I don't know how excited they are to be able to reach the League Cup final this time.
So those Birmingham fans were far crazier than the Chelsea fans.
If they win the League Cup this time, they will have one more championship trophy in their honor book. This is different from Chelsea fans. Although Chelsea does not have many historical honors in English football, they still have a few championships.
of.
There are many fans and many reporters.
They have already surrounded the Millennium Stadium.
No matter how you say it, this is the first cup championship in English football this season.
"Chelsea! Chelsea! Chelsea!"
The Chelsea fans who were pulled by reporters kept waving their scarves and shouting "Chelsea."
"What do you think of Birmingham, our opponents in the final?"
Because it was already very noisy in front of the stadium, the reporter asked the fans as loudly as possible.
When a big man heard what the reporter said, he opened his eyes wide and asked his friend who was coming with him. "Birmingham? I haven't heard of it. Do you know Birmingham?"
We are indeed friends together.
The cooperation is very tacit.
When the kid next to him heard what the big man said, he shook his head in confusion. His expression looked so real.
"Birmingham? Never heard of it. Which of you has heard of it?"
He asked the fans next to him again.
Hearing his words, several people nearby laughed loudly. "Birmingham? Never heard of it."
"Birmingham, what for?"
"Is it Aston Villa?"
A few people couldn't stop laughing at Birmingham.
Their loud shouting was also heard by Chelsea fans not far away. They took over what these people said and shouted loudly: "Birmingham? Never heard of it. We only know Aston Villa!"
"
When we started the interview, there were only six or seven fans. Unexpectedly, the noise they made alerted hundreds of Chelsea fans.
They all laughed.
After these people finished laughing, they started cheering.
"Champion! Champion! We will definitely be the champion!"
The reporter was startled by their sudden cheers.
But they did not continue to pay attention to the reporter. They continued to shout "Chelsea! We are the champions!"
Then walked to the stadium.
"It seems that Chelsea fans are very confident. But it is true. Chelsea is in great shape now, and in terms of strength, Chelsea is indeed a step ahead of Birmingham. Chelsea fans will naturally be confident."
"I also believe that it is difficult for Birmingham to create a miracle. The League Cup championship should belong to Chelsea."
It's obvious that this reporter is biased.
The fans in Birmingham are also crazy.
Although they are not as confident as Chelsea fans, they are not to be outdone.
…………
Cardiff's Millennium Stadium was completely full with fans from both sides.
More than seventy-four thousand people seems like a lot.
Actually not much at all.
There were still many fans from both sides who had not received tickets. Many fans who could not go to the venue were shouting at each other.
Looking up, the stands of the Millennium Stadium are filled with a sea of blue.
The home jerseys of Chelsea and Birmingham are both blue. They belong to the blue camp in the traditional red-blue confrontation in England.
In English football, the confrontation between red and blue has always been the mainstream.
However, in the history of English football, the red color will always be the boss. Take a look at the major football teams in England. From Liverpool to Manchester United, and then to Arsenal. They are all representative teams of the red color. There are also some teams that were once famous.
, Nottingham Forest, which streaks across the European football world like a shooting star, is also red.
Chelsea's opponent today is Birmingham. They have a very good team in the same city.
Not only has seven top league championships, seven FA Cup championships, and even a Champions League championship. He is Aston Villa. It is also a force that cannot be ignored in English football. Their color is also red.
.
Compared to their blue-coloured teams, the one with the best historical results is probably Everton.
Red and blue are completely out of contrast.
Red has always been the main color.
However, today's League Cup final is a confrontation between blue and blue. Chelsea, the blue team, and Birmingham City, which also uses blue as their home uniform. Of course, there are some differences. The Chelsea fan lineup is completely blue.
You can't see any other colors among the Chelsea fans.
But there was a hint of whiteness in the Birmingham stands.
Because their jersey is blue and white.
"Come to the game, we welcome you!
Put on your blues and watch our game.
Sing loud, sing clear. Until we win!
Everyone was singing: Chelsea!!"
Chelsea fans and Birmingham fans have already started cheering for their respective teams.
But it's not over.
If the two sides just sang to cheer, then there would be no confrontation. Soon the Chelsea fans were the first to sing their own lyrics: "Birmingham... clatter--Birmingham, we have only heard of Aston."
Vera—oooooo—what’s Birmingham for?”
Of course the Birmingham fans were furious when they heard the Chelsea fans singing.
In a city, there is a team as outstanding as Villa, which really doubles the pressure for Birmingham fans. It should be said that it is very embarrassing.
Vera's results are really outstanding.
Even Arsenal, who are currently fighting Manchester United to the death, are not much better than Villa in terms of historical results. They are not even necessarily better than Villa.
There is such a neighbor, and he has been a mortal enemy for centuries.
It's a scar for Birmingham fans.
Even if Chelsea aspires to be a strong team in London, having a team like Arsenal is very depressing. Not to mention the thoughts of Birmingham fans who are far inferior to Chelsea.
Angry Birmingham fans also hit back at Chelsea fans.
"You guys are as disgusting as Bates' mouth!"
Chelsea fans immediately hit back at Birmingham fans.
"Hurry up and take a photo album, we are still waiting to see!!!"
This is an irony that the boss of Birmingham is from the pornographic publishing industry. Photo album, isn't it just about shooting pornographic photo albums?
These are what Su Yun looked like when he first entered the Millennium Stadium.
Fans from both sides couldn't wait to fully uncover each other's scars before they would be happy. The back and forth between the fans from both sides was very lively.
The atmosphere at the stadium is very good.
"The players from both sides have already entered the field. This is the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The live broadcast for you now is the English League Cup final of the 0001 season. Because Wembley Stadium is being expanded, this year's League Cup final venue is
In the Millennium Stadium.”
"The opponents in the final are Chelsea and Birmingham City from League One."
"Judging from the arguments before the game, they all support Chelsea to win the championship. After all, the strength gap between the two teams is still very big. Chelsea is now the second-place team in the Premier League, while Birmingham is only in English League One.
They are ranked fifth. In terms of strength, the two sides are not on the same level."
"But football is round. Who says that a weak team cannot win. But who can win the championship will not be known until the game is over."
Mortensen has already started his own work. (To be continued...)
