() Before Chelsea faced Manchester City at home, various media in England regarded the competition between Terry and Bridge as the biggest highlight of the game. Especially in the middle of this week, the victims of the Friendship Gate scandal announced
Ritchie has announced his withdrawal from the England team, which added to the game's rupture of "never being a teammate again." Before the game, Sky Sports predicted the game.
He thought: "After the controversy over the Tomo Wife scandal broke out, the confrontation between the two former Chelsea teammates in this game has become even more interesting. Will the two shake hands?" And there are Manchester City fans in "Sports Life"
He even "encouraged" Bridge: "Since Bridge has already lost to Terry on the bed, we should make a comeback on the court."
As a result, the two highlights of this game were both on target.
When the players from both sides shook hands before the start of the game, Bridge ignored Terry's friendly right hand and chose to feint and shake hands with the ball boy next to him.
The mean British media immediately added insult to injury: "Bridge must have felt that the caddy's little hands were more sincere and pure compared to Terry's claws that cheated on his girlfriend."...
Terry's performance was also affected. He was not only directly responsible for conceding the first goal, but also performed like a sleepwalker throughout the game.
In the end, Chelsea lost 24-2 at home, and their record of 24 consecutive unbeaten home games came to an end.
After the game, Sky Sports only gave Terry 6 points, the lowest score of the game, and believed that he was facing great psychological pressure. The Daily Telegraph also commented: "This is obviously not a normal Terry.
"The Friend's Wife scandal itself put a lot of pressure on him, and Bridge's refusal to shake hands further disturbed his mind."
Indeed, as the English media said, this is not the level expected of a normal Terry.
In the first half, Manchester City was in a passive situation and only shot twice, but in the second kick, they broke through Hilario's goal. Terry was directly responsible for this goal.
In the half-time stoppage time, Manchester City made a huge clearance from the backcourt and kicked it into the midfield. Unexpectedly, this unintentional clearance actually caused Mikel to make a header error. Tevez got the ball and turned around to break through Tevez.
Here, Xian Mei rushed into the penalty area and then passed Carvalho. It was too late for Terry to catch up again. The Argentine was in the penalty area.
The push from 12 yards on the right side of the area was originally weak, but there was obviously a certain gap between the veteran goalkeeper Hilario and the quick-reacting Cech. As a result, the ball rolled into the far corner. In this regard, the "Guardian" believed: "In special
In the face of Weiss's powerful breakthrough, Terry showed his weakness in speed, and chasing after him again was of no avail."
In the second half, Terry's state was still unspeakable. In the 48th minute, Adam Johnson passed Malouda and dribbled the ball laterally. Terry stepped forward to block it, but he tripped Johnson outside the edge of the penalty area and was given a yellow card.
Fortunately, Bridge's free kick, which was the victim of the Friendship Gate, was directly blocked by the wall. Perhaps with the purpose of standing up for Bridge, Manchester City players also provoked Terry several times and deliberately disturbed his mind. Chapter 2
In the 63rd minute, after Tevez broke into the left side of the penalty area, there was an argument while fighting for a position. Tevez even hit his chest to challenge Terry, and bad boy Bellamy immediately stepped forward to help.
And Chelsea's last goal conceded also had something to do with Terry.
In the 87th minute, Wright-Phillips made a quick counterattack and broke into the right side of the penalty area to cross the ball. Bellamy easily shot into the empty goal. During the defense of this ball, left center back Terry did not deploy his defense in time, giving the opponent an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Machine. In the end, Terry's statistics for the whole game were fixed at 40 of 46 passes, and he received 1 yellow card for 1 foul.
In terms of the most outstanding clearance data in the past, Terry's contribution was zero! Before the game, Ancelotti had been decompressing Terry: "I don't think there is anything special about the game. This is just a problem for Terry."
It was an ordinary game." But looking back, the "Guardian"'s evaluation seemed to hit the mark: "The strong support of Friendship Gate and Bridge's refusal to shake hands made Terry look a little tired. His performance on the field was greatly reduced.
It's normal. This is his worst game of the season."
It is worth mentioning that this is Terry's two consecutive games where he has been beaten by the opponent's forwards, and both forwards are Argentinian. In the away game against Inter Milan in midweek, Milito scored in the penalty area just after the opening game.
The ball, a simple feint to rush forward and then a dunk, swayed Terry's defense to gain a shooting angle, and broke through Cech's door. Counting this 24-point defeat, Terry had to face the first player in two consecutive games.
He is directly responsible for conceding a goal.
In fact, Terry is already one of the two best central defenders in football today.
In the previous 2009 Best Team selected by UEFA fans, Barcelona defender Puyol was selected together with Terry.
In FIFA's annual 11-man best team, Terry and Vidic partnered as central defenders. In addition, Terry also won the honor of Chelsea's Player of the Month. However, a scandal involving his wife's wife changed the situation.
There's a lot in it.
He will face huge public condemnation and psychological pressure, and will no longer be able to devote himself to playing football as he did in the past. Although Europeans like to use "business is business (business is business)" to distinguish many incidents, Terry's excessive private life
The exposure has seriously interfered with his normal performance as a player.
There is no doubt that although fringe players of the national team like Bridge can choose to quit the national team as an escape, as the indispensable central defender of the England team, Terry cannot refuse the call of the Three Lions.
Recently, a columnist in the "Guardian" publicly appealed: "Leave aside the current tasks of the World Cup, we also need a normal Terry to play for Chelsea and the Premier League. Too many gossipy news have seriously interfered with him.
Regarding his performance on the field, our public opinion environment is too harsh and harsh. Capello has also stripped Terry of the captain's armband. Now is the time to turn criticism into protection."
Ancelotti needs a normal Terry to lead Chelsea to realize their dream of winning the Premier League and the Champions League; Capello also needs a normal Terry to help England achieve success in the World Cup. There is a lot of backlash from the outside world.
Behind the ridicule, many people should be held responsible for Terry's decline in competitive status.
In contrast, the remarks made by Ancelotti and Mancini before the game showed that Italy and England have two completely different cultural atmospheres when it comes to private life issues. Manchester City coach Mancini called for Terry to be treated fairly before the game.
And Ancelotti said: "I have never encountered a public opinion situation like this in Italy."
The turmoil involving Chelsea captain Terry is good news for Manchester United to a certain extent, and it has indeed done Manchester United a big favor. Now Manchester United's 3-point lead has become a real 3-point lead.
There's nothing better than a League Cup final!
Li Yu has also arrived at Wembley to join the team. Manchester United, with its well-organized striker, is obviously more confident to face Villa.
As for the role of Manchester United's No. 9 in the final, many people still don't know the exact news. Is he a starter or a substitute?
Soon, Ferguson gave the answer to the reporter's questioning: "I still need to observe it again, but now Li Yu has no problem at all, and he is fully prepared for the game!"
With the final approaching, Manchester United unexpectedly received high-profile support from a well-known fan. This fan was none other than the Jamaican flying star Usain Bolt. According to the "Sun" report, when the flying star was watching the game on a broken TV when he was a child,
He became obsessed with Manchester United. He announced that he would watch the live broadcast of the final between Manchester United and Aston Villa with his friends, and hoped to celebrate winning the championship after the game.
But Bolt also admitted that his admiration for the Red Devils has made him feel very disappointed this season. He explained: "Usually we start in January invincible, but this season it has been up and down. Maybe it is injuries that prevent us from finding a place.
The best 11." It is said that after Manchester United lost the Toffees game, the Flying Man was so angry that he smashed his spikes against the TV! You know, he got up at 8 o'clock in the morning (Caribbean time) in order to watch the Red Devils game!
Bolt also experienced a coach's addiction in an interview: "When Carrick and Fletcher play at the same time, I feel great. At the same time, I hope there are two people partnering on the front line, rather than letting
Rooney fought alone. Berbatov disappointed me, he needs to go to the next level. Our defense is now the main problem. If Vidic and Ferdinand can play at the same time, then we will be safe, but it is a pity that we can't wait.
This day.”
At Wembley Stadium tomorrow, fans will wait and see whether the Red Devils can defend the League Cup trophy. If the Flyers' TVs can express their opinions, they will definitely hope that Manchester United will win so that they will no longer suffer the bad luck of being "hit on the head with spikes"!
At 15:00 local time in the UK, the 2009-10 English League Cup final begins at Wembley Stadium.
This season, Villa won at Old Trafford for the first time in 26 years. This was Villa's only victory in the past 26 meetings between the two sides. In the remaining 25 meetings, Manchester United achieved 21 wins and 4 draws.
This is also the first time since 1997 that Villa has remained unbeaten against Manchester United in the league that season. The two sides met 6 times in the League Cup, and Manchester United's only victory was in 1975. In the 1994 final, Villa defeated the Red Devils 3-1. The defending champion
Manchester United won the championship for the third time last season with a penalty kick victory over Tottenham, while Villa has won the championship 6 times, second only to Liverpool, who has won 7 times.
Since the start of the game, Li Yu has become the focus of Villa players' attention. People are still worried about whether Manchester United's No. 9 will have any surprises in high-confrontation situations after his comeback.
However, Li Yu soon dispelled the fans' concerns with a series of wonderful performances. After Li Yu passed three people in a row, he directly kicked the goal and the whole audience burst into cheers. The all-powerful Manchester United No. 9 is back today!
Although the goal was not scored, the fans were not too disappointed. Today's Manchester United will let them enjoy scoring goals. They have no doubt about this!
It's really strange to say that whether it is the media or fans, as long as Li Yu is in Manchester United's starting lineup, they now feel that Manchester United will score goals, and the game also makes them feel at ease. This is the peace of mind that Li Yu brings.
Manchester United put pressure on Villa from the beginning. Faced with this pressure, Villa was extremely passive from the beginning. Even if they got the opportunity to attack, their offense seemed a bit disorganized.
Fletcher and Carrick worked together in the midfield to guard the center. Valencia and Park Ji-sung attacked the opponent's defense from the wings, and on the front line, it goes without saying that Li Yu and Rooney posed threats.
Li Yu, who had rested for nearly ten days, was already full of anger. Li Yu vented all his grievances on this game. He was ravaging Vera's defense unscrupulously.
Manchester United's crazy attack bore fruit when the game lasted thirteen minutes.
Li Yu received a pass from Rafael and succeeded with a header.
To be precise, this was a rather difficult header. Li Yu noticed that Villa's goalkeeper Friedel was positioned relatively far forward and intentionally headed the ball towards the upper left corner of the goal.
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!"
"The ball was scored. As soon as Manchester United's No. 9 came back, he scored a goal for us, lob! Header to lob! Li Yu's header to lob! Look at Friedel's eyes. He was so concerned about this header.
There was absolutely nothing he could do. At this moment, he seemed to see a visitor from outside the world! Manchester United took the lead in the final! Manchester United always had the advantage on the scene, and it was natural for them to take the lead!"
The Villa head coach looked extremely angry on the sidelines. He believed that the team's center back Dunn failed to successfully close to Li Yu and gave Li Yu a chance to calmly head the ball.
If anything, the first goal he conceded made him angry.
Then at the end of the first half, they conceded another goal. At that time, he was already helpless.
The person who scored this time was Rooney.
Valencia's sharp breakthrough tore apart Villa's defense. This time, Tangning was deceived by his continuous shaking and lost all focus. He could only watch as Valencia dribbled the ball past him.
In front of the goal, Villa's goalkeeper Friedel was facing a powerful enemy.
Just when Friedel thought that Valencia, who was cutting inside, would shoot directly, he passed the ball across to Rooney who was inserted. What happened next turned Wembley into a sea of red joy.
"goooooooooooooooooooooooal! One player per player in the first half, Manchester United's goals were distributed very well!"
"2:0! The score before the first half. Manchester United played very easily. They simply took the lead and returned to the locker room with a 2-goal advantage to prepare for the second half of the game!"
There is a huge difference between Manchester United today and Manchester United, which has one win and one draw with Villa. It seems that they will continue to hit the target. Is there anything Villa can do in the second half of the game?
Look at the end of the first half, when the Villa players walked to the players' tunnel listlessly and dejectedly. Everyone knew that the final trophy of this game could almost be declared over early.
Manchester United will not give them any chance today!
Manchester United equalized the score in the 52nd minute. Li Yu broke into the right side of the penalty area after stealing the ball in the frontcourt. Dunn chased back and barely intercepted the ball, but Irving followed up and pushed it into the lower left corner from 16 yards. This was his 9th goal this season.
Owen, who replaced Rooney, kicked the ball into Villa's goal with his first touch after coming on, 3:0.
Manchester United's goal didn't mean it was over.
Manchester United expanded the score again in the 74th minute. After Valencia cooperated with Owen, he made a cross from the right side of the penalty area. Li Yu headed the goal from 10 yards past Friedel and into the net. This was his 34th goal in all competitions this season.
.
Manchester United sealed the victory early, and the final was a completely one-sided game. Manchester United's goal performance made the Manchester United fans in attendance cheered.
They left the court early, and the championship was definitely far away from them. Those who stayed could only be sad!
In the 82nd minute, Downing made a pass and Collins' header was blocked by Vidic.
In the 85th minute, Valencia passed the ball from the right side of the penalty area, and Li Yu shot high from 15 yards. Subsequently, Gibson replaced Park Ji-sung.
In the 89th minute, Downing took a corner kick and Dunn's header went wide.
In the 91st minute, Carrick passed the ball and Valencia's shot on the right side of the penalty area missed the near corner.
In the 94th minute, Ashley Young made a pass, and Agbonlahor's header from the right side of the penalty area missed the near corner.
Villa's efforts in the last few minutes failed to save face. In the end, Manchester United defended the League Cup 4:0.
Manchester United finally won their first European championship trophy this season, and it was Li Yu who contributed two goals and made a great contribution.
Facing the first final of the season, Ferguson did not dare to neglect, but he was extremely entangled. Villa was not a good owner. Manchester United had a poor record against Villa in the league this season, losing away and drawing at home. In the era of chaos,
No opponent is easy to deal with, let alone Vera?
But Ferguson is obviously more concerned about the team's competitiveness at the end of the season. One statistic is enough to cause him to think deeply: Manchester United has lost 9 games in the league this season, all because Li Yu was not on the court for various reasons. Therefore, Sir Alex Ferguson repeatedly protected Li Yu.
Jade's health allowed Manchester United to appear in the starting lineup. However, Ferguson still chose to let Rooney rest. At the beginning of the second half, Rooney was replaced to prepare for the league.
Ferguson's entanglement is not unreasonable. The competition in the Premier League this season has been unprecedentedly fierce. Counting Chelsea's first defeat at home last Saturday when they were defeated by Manchester City, the total number of losses among the top four has reached 24 games. Manchester City is known as the strongest defense in the Premier League.
mercenaries
In front of the team, he seemed weak, and Ramsey's broken leg when visiting Stoke City made the competition even more cruel. After this week, the points gap between the top three changed again. There are still 10 rounds left in the season, and no one can secure the 3rd place.
points, just like Manchester United's thrilling victory in the championship.
It is undeniable that Li Yu's performance this season is amazing, and he is indeed on the verge of being replaced by Cristiano Ronaldo. Since Henry, Ruud van Nistelrooy, and Cristiano Ronaldo have left one after another, he has become the unquestionable number one brand star in the Premier League, especially
In Asia, Li Yu has made the Premier League an unrivaled football league.
After winning the League Cup, he can still look forward to the league and the Champions League. But a League Cup final has shown that winning is not easy. As a new brand of the Premier League, Li Yu's first crown is actually at an inflection point.
The current situation in the Premier League is chaotic and unclear.
A new ruler is coming soon, and now all the powers are competing against each other. I wonder how long it can last?
