Moreover, the FA Cup final and the UEFA Cup final are only two days apart. In addition, because the opponents of the game are the same, the atmosphere becomes more and more solemn.
Even in London, Su Yun could feel the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air.
You can all feel the hostility coming from Liverpool.
Just as the final was about to come, Houllier appeared on the TV show.
Of course, the host asked questions about the finals, as well as questions about the opponents.
Houllier has a good temper.
In the Premier League, he is not a very bad-tempered person. In England, there are many managers with a certain personality. Wenger is known as a "professor" and looks personable, but his mouth is not at all forgiving.
.
Among the current Premier League, Wenger and Ferguson are the most talkative.
Houllier is nothing at all.
But this is just because Houllier doesn't like these things, it doesn't mean that Houllier doesn't understand them.
After talking a lot of nonsense, he started to comment on Chelsea and Su Yun.
"Chelsea's strength is good, and coach Su Yun is also very capable. But what coach Su Yun lacks most is experience. Coach Su Yun had the chance to win the Premier League championship for two consecutive seasons, but fell short in both seasons.
This is a sign of inexperience.”
"Of course he is still young and has plenty of time to gain experience."
That's what Houllier said.
Because Houllier knows that talking too much is useless. As long as he says a few words, the media will naturally help Houllier say more. Houllier is an old coach and understands this truth better than anyone else.
Sure enough, Houllier's words appeared in the next day's newspaper.
The meaning has completely changed.
It turned out that Houllier was very confident about the final, and then said that Su Yun lacked the experience to win the championship.
Su Yun said nothing after reading the newspaper.
What is this little trick?
This is to anger myself. Do you really think that I am young and can't stand it even if I just say a few words?
Su Yun didn't even bother to respond to Houllier.
The more Houllier says this, the more anxious he is and the greater the pressure on him. Su Yun likes to play games with impatient opponents, because once a team is impatient, many loopholes will appear.
Su Yun already had a full set of ideas and didn't want to start a verbal argument with Houllier. That would be boring.
Beating you in the competition is the best response.
However, if Su Yun doesn't argue, Su Yun's players will not be so peaceful.
"Houllier?"
As a direct descendant of Su Yun, Eto'o was greatly questioned at the beginning of the season. Because his worth is not low at all, but he has not achieved any results before.
But Su Yun supported Eto'o.
And Eto'o also used his outstanding performance in a season to make everyone shut up. In his limited playing time, Eto'o scored 16 goals.
Eto'o is currently Chelsea's third striker.
Eto'o has also become famous this season.
I admire Suyun Eto'o very much, so he immediately came out and became a vanguard.
"We have been in the Premier League for three seasons, and we already have three championships in hand. Coach Houllier coaches a giant like Liverpool, but he doesn't have a championship. When it comes to winning experience, we have much more experience than Coach Houllier.
"
Houllier felt a little sorry for Su Yun's silence.
But after hearing Eto'o's words, Houllier knew that his words must have had an effect.
Houllier just wanted to convey that he was anxious.
The purpose was achieved.
As for the verbal spat with Eto'o, Houllier doesn't have the time yet.
Time slowly came to May 12th.
May 12th is a very ordinary day. But for English football, it is also a big day. Because this day is the oldest football match in the world, and it is also the FA Cup with a high status in English football.
The day of the final.
The status of the FA Cup has dropped a lot.
But as the oldest competition in England, its status in the hearts of English fans is not low at all.
Su Yun has won the FA Cup.
Just last season, Su Yun led Sunderland to sweep Chelsea in the FA Cup final. Chelsea lost face with a score of 4-0. In just one season, Su Yun reached the FA Cup final again.
But this time he led Chelsea to the FA Cup final.
He has reached the FA Cup finals for two consecutive years and led two different teams. This is the first time in the history of English football. Su Yun has created a new history.
Of course, if he wins the FA Cup, then Su Yun will be the first coach in English football to lead two different teams to win the FA Cup within two years.
In the history of the FA Cup, no team has been able to defend the FA Cup title.
Not to mention the manager of the defending FA Cup champion.
Su Yun has little interest in these records. If it is the defending Premier League champion, the honor of defending the Champions League champion is almost the same. No matter how high the FA Cup champion's status is in the minds of domestic fans in England, his status in European football is not
Very average.
Su Yun now hopes to create a new world in European football.
Of course, there are never too many champions.
So does the FA Cup winner.
…………
On May 12th, the weather was good.
Su Yun led Chelsea to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff again.
This is the second time that Su Yun has led the team to the Millennium Stadium this year. The last time Su Yun led Chelsea to win the League Cup, this time they are competing for the FA Cup.
Su Yun has reached quite a few finals now.
Su Yun has played in three cup finals so far and won all of them. Two League Cup champions and one FA Cup champion. Maybe because of this, Su Yun is in a very calm mood now.
Although it was the finals, Su Yun was not in a hurry.
Just Liverpool.
When I play against Manchester United, no one is afraid of Arsenal. Liverpool is already a down and out giant. Can I still be afraid of him?
The Millennium Stadium was already overcrowded.
Chelsea fans, Liverpool fans, they surrounded the entire Millennium Stadium.
Needless to say Chelsea fans.
If Chelsea can win the FA Cup, then Chelsea will be the second domestic cup double champion in the history of English football. The last time they won the League Cup and FA Cup at the same time dates back to the Graham era.
Arsenal on.
Therefore, Chelsea fans are very enthusiastic.
Liverpool fans' thoughts are a bit complicated.
Liverpool was the undisputed king of English football at the time. The glittering four Champions League trophies and eighteen top league titles were enough for other teams in England to look up to.
When they were at their most glorious, they not only swept across English football, but even European football.
The color of European football at that time was red.
The English teams led by Liverpool, including Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa, all won the Champions League that year. They dominated European football for nearly ten years. And they all belong to the traditional red color of English football.
line-up.
It's a pity that two tragedies completely changed Liverpool's destiny.
The "Heysel Disaster" caused Liverpool to be banned from European football and lost its dominance in European football. The "Hillsborough Disaster" caused Liverpool to lose its dominance in England.
From being the king of England, Liverpool has not won a top league title for eleven seasons. Even in these eleven seasons, Liverpool has only won one FA Cup championship and one League Cup championship.
And the last time we won the League Cup was six years ago.
Over the past six years, there has been a blank in Liverpool's honor book.
Over the past few seasons, Liverpool's performance in the league has been getting worse and worse. But fortunately, this season they finally entered the FA Cup final and the UEFA Cup final.
This is Liverpool's best chance to win the championship.
Therefore, Liverpool fans expect Liverpool to win a championship. They hope that this championship will allow Liverpool to regain its rich status and regain its rich temperament.
There are many fans from both sides at the Millennium Stadium, and they are clearly differentiated.
Liverpool fans are exclusively in the red camp, while Chelsea fans are exclusively in the blue camp.
This is also a red-blue confrontation.
Red Army versus Blue Army.
The police were quite nervous. Because of the two tragedies, the fans of the Red Army and Liverpool did not have a very good reputation, and the fans of the Blue Army and Chelsea also had a group of notorious football hooligans.
This time it was two finals in a row.
The police are afraid of what might happen.
This game was held in the afternoon of British time...Zhong. When Su Yun led Chelsea to the Millennium Stadium, he had just finished lunch. The weather was still relatively hot and the temperature was not low.
But it doesn't matter.
Because these players are used to playing games during this time period. Premier League games are almost always played during this time period.
"Champion! Champion! We want the championship!"
"Su, give us a championship!"
When Su Yun got off the bus first, he was greeted by thousands of Chelsea fans next to the Millennium Stadium. They welcomed Chelsea very enthusiastically and shouted "Champion".
Su Yun waved to them.
Then he ignored the reporters who followed him. Recently, Su Yun saw so many reporters that Su Yun felt a little sick. And before the game, Su Yun didn't want to say anything more, especially since the game was about to begin.
There wasn't much to say. So I pushed aside the reporters and continued to move forward regardless.
Just when Su Yun was about to enter the stadium, the Liverpool bus also arrived at the entrance of the stadium.
Liverpool fans started singing as they came in from the bus.
When Houllier led the Liverpool fans down, the Liverpool fans also cheered.
The voices of "champions" are everywhere.
Houllier was not too high-profile. He simply expressed his gratitude to the fans and then led the players into the stadium.
There is still a lot of time before the game.
But the fans have already started to look for seats, and most of the stadium is already full of fans.
