In the center of Cardiff's Millennium Stadium, Welsh singer Katherine Jenkins was singing the national anthem "God Save the Queen."
Unsurprisingly, this game will be the last time the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff hosts the League Cup final.
Huang Jianxiang crowded in the Southampton fans' stands and looked at everything in the stadium with a look of surprise.
"Good guy, Southampton has just as many fans as Manchester United!"
As a senior commentator, Huang Jianxiang naturally understands the significance of the League Cup.
This kind of trivial cup competition is very attractive to small teams, but for giants like Manchester United, it is really something that cannot be obtained.
But this season Manchester United has no choice other than the League Cup. Manchester United fans from all over the world crowded into Cardiff City today, hoping to see the home team win the championship.
Huang Jianxiang holds a home video camera in his hand, just like when Milu coached the national football team.
The athletes from both sides had not yet entered the stadium, so he mainly focused his camera on the stands.
Needless to say, Manchester United's players are mostly familiar and well-known stars.
As for Southampton, most of the fans held up the words "DONG&BALE" to promote their new twin stars to the world.
"Are they Wang Xiaodong and Gareth Bale?" Huang Jianxiang pinched his chin, "It is said that these two young players were both born in 1989. I didn't expect them to be so popular among fans!"
"Wang Xiaodong, Wang Xiaodong, your appearance has taught the Football Association a lesson!"
“What Brazilian Jianlibao?!”
"It is wise to send young players to Europe from an early age and receive the influence of the most modern football!"
"As long as these players have a patriotic heart, are we afraid that we will not be able to form a standing team for the World Cup finals in the future? What a joke!"
As a senior commentator, although Huang Jianxiang is well-informed, he has his limitations.
Cultivating patriotic education and accepting Western culture from an early age are inherently contradictory propositions.
Many domestic children who have not completed nine years of compulsory education are sent abroad by their parents early, but when they grow up, few return to the country.
Many people are even willing to be "banana people" and third-class citizens.
Such a result was unexpected by those parents.
Not everyone is like Wang Xiaodong's family who cultivates the concept of family and country in their children from an early age. Although they came to the UK at a young age, the words and deeds of the Queen's father and Queen Mother have never left their lips. In Wang Xiaodong's family, total Westernization has always been an extremely serious topic. Whenever he crosses the line, Wang Fu will even fight with his opponent with red eyes.
Therefore, no matter whether it is the uncles or relatives at home, or Wang Xiaodong himself, everyone has always kept in mind where their roots are.
Speaking of which, they are just Chinese people trying to make a living in Great Britain.
Wang Xiaodong's situation itself is difficult to replicate, not to mention that those domestic children who have money to live in Europe are not necessarily good at playing football.
After all, it was just Huang Jianxiang's wish.
...
In the history of the two teams, only Manchester United won the League Cup in 1992, which happened to be the transition between the old and new Premier League.
Manchester United's championship in that era meant that the Red Devils began to pull Liverpool out of the English league dominance, which had far-reaching significance.
Or maybe it was from then on that Manchester United became truly qualified and "looked down" on trivial little champions like the League Cup.
Southampton, with its red and white straight stripes, and Manchester United's players, who were dressed in dark blue, were clearly distinguishable. They stood on both sides of the players' tunnel, blocked by three referees.
The little caddy held by Wang Xiaodong frequently turned his head to look at the players on both sides. The little girl with two braids looked to her left at Wang Xiaodong next to her, and to her right at Cristiano not far away, looking dizzy.
"Hey, little girl, what's there to see over there?" Wang Xiaodong leaned down and scratched the tip of the little girl's nose.
"You are so handsome!" The little girl is not afraid of stage, and she shows the characteristics of a nymphomaniac at a young age. "I don't know which of you to choose as my future husband."
The little girl's answer made Wang Xiaodong laugh. "How old are you? That you've even thought about this?"
"Alice is already six years old!" The little girl with braided braids tried to puff up her chest. "At Colorful Rainbow (the name of the kindergarten), Parker and Bonnie have taken an oath of marriage!"
Upon hearing this answer, Wang Xiaodong instantly showed a black question mark face.
Are all kindergarten children today so precocious? ? ?
"Then which one do you like more?" Wang Xiaodong knelt down, pointed at himself, and then at Cristiano Ronaldo on the other side, who was looking at him frequently.
The little girl looked at Wang Xiaodong's face carefully, then looked at Cristiano Ronaldo not far away, pointed at the other person's face and said, "Well... Alice likes that one better!"
"WHY???" Wang Xiaodong looked shocked.
You actually prefer that big talker?
What's good about him?
"He has a cooler hairstyle than you!" Alice said sweetly.
Wang Xiaodong touched the neatly trimmed hair on top of his head, then looked at the yellow-dyed curly hair on Ronaldo's head, and gritted his teeth in anger.
What kind of hairstyle is that?
It's just a pile of straw on the head!
After being "slightly inferior" in terms of appearance, Wang Xiaodong suppressed the anger in his heart and asked softly again: "Alice, you can't choose a man just based on his appearance! It's also about his strength, don't you think?"
Wang Xiaodong said, showing his strong muscles in front of the little girl.
Alice pinched Wang Xiaodong's biceps brightly and nodded repeatedly: "Wow! You're right, I just don't know if his muscles are as hard as yours!"
"So...if I kick him out on the court later, who will you choose?"
"Of course I choose you, giggle, giggle, giggle~~~" the little girl laughed loudly, holding Wang Xiaodong's chin with both hands, and looked at it carefully, "Speaking of which, I have never had a boyfriend from the East. Woolen cloth!"
"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT..."
Wang Xiaodong was enjoying the little girl's facial spa, but at first glance he felt something was wrong.
"You, what did you just say? Have you had other boyfriends?"
"Of course!" Alice clapped her fingers, "My ex-boyfriends include Anthony, Joshua, Matthew, Andrew, Michael..."
Seeing the little girl spit out a long list of names, Wang Xiaodong stood up awkwardly and looked at the back of his teammates' heads again.
After a while, Alice finished checking. She tugged on Wang Xiaodong's finger and said, "If you can beat him, I will let you be my 23rd boyfriend. How about that?"
Wang Xiaodong looked straight ahead and said softly: "Oh, lovely lady, forgive me for not being able to do this."
"Why?"
"Because that would be illegal!"
At this moment, the person in front began to move forward slowly, and Wang Xiaodong also pulled Alice's hand closer and walked towards the entrance of the passage.
"Dong, those guys don't think you have any good intentions." Bell said against Wang Xiaodong's neck.
"Nonsense, at the press conference just now, I had a fight with the guy opposite Huang Mao." Wang Xiaodong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Luo not far away.
"Not only him, but also No. 8 in front of you. He also looks at you with evil intentions."
"Then it's over? Let's take one of two brothers. You deal with that short winter melon, and I'll deal with that yellow hair to let them know how powerful we are."
"OK, just look at me!" Bell replied confidently.
Fernandez listened to the conversation between the two behind him, shook his head and chuckled twice.
It’s true that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
The short winter melon and yellow hair mentioned by Wang Xiaodong and Bale are the hottest young players in the Premier League today, Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.
The two of them can be said to be the top young talents in the entire English league in terms of combat effectiveness. How can they do it just by lying down?
Do Wang Xiaodong and Beier really not know about them?
Fernandez had a second thought.
of course not!
Perhaps it is because they know that the two people in front of them are the leaders of the younger generation that Wang Xiaodong and Bell are so motivated!
Young people, shouldn’t they have unlimited vitality and the courage to fight against the world?
The two long queues walked to the entrance of the players' tunnel and settled down. They had to wait until all the cameramen at the entrance were ready before the two sides could appear in order.
After the team was compressed, the distance that originally separated the four people from two to three meters was shortened to about one meter.
Just when Wang Xiaodong and Alice were playing a game of scratching each other's palms, Xiao Luo, who was not far in front, turned around, lowered his head and said to Alice: "Beautiful lady, I will definitely win that guy. The champion, in the end It can only belong to me! You will also belong to me."
After saying that, Xiao Luo winked at Alice and followed the teammates in front of him.
"Fake, what a stinky guy! I must make him look good!"
Seeing the other party leave after saying harsh words, Wang Xiaodong's chest heaved with anger.
"Wow, what a romance! Are you going to stage a duel for Alice?"
The little guy's eyes were twinkling with stars, looking at Wang Xiaodong expectantly.
"Of course!" Wang Xiaodong clenched the fist of his other hand, "In order to become Alice's twenty-third boyfriend, and to be the champion! I must beat this guy down!"
