It's game day.
London, Wembley Stadium.
Wang Xiaodong pulled a Chelsea ball boy in blue and slowly walked out of the player tunnel.
As soon as the camera came into view, fans saw the little caddy with his head raised and an obsessed look on his face.
Although he is wearing a blue robe, he is a fan of Wang Xiaodong.
Wang Xiaodong touched the caddy's hair, and his intimate gesture made other children extremely envious.
After another hat-trick in the Champions League, even Chelsea fans could not restrain their admiration for Wang Xiaodong.
"Hey, have you heard? DONG is coming to Chelsea next season!"
"Oh my God, where did you hear this news?"
"Don't worry about where I heard it from. The Russian has made it clear in front of the media that he will buy DONG at all costs, and I also heard that he bought a new blue car for DONG!"
"A new blue car? Why didn't I see DONG drive?"
"Who knows? Maybe he's still embarrassed."
…
In the Champions League a few days ago, Chelsea played away to Olympiakos. Coach Grant abandoned Terry and Lampard, who had just recovered from injuries, which was undoubtedly a brave move.
Before the League Cup final, Grant once again warned the fans that the captain and deputy captain may not be able to return to the starting lineup.
In the end, Grant still didn't dare to touch these two key players, and the one he attacked was still left-back Ashley Cole, whose life was in a mess.
Ashley Cole's life has not been quiet since the sex scandal broke out.
His celebrity wife Shelly has not forgiven him yet, and the major newspapers in England have taken advantage of this matter and continuously hyped it up.
It is said that Shelly not only no longer wears a wedding ring, but also no longer takes her husband's surname "Cole" on some occasions. I finally got home last week, but I have been unwilling to talk to my unfaithful husband, let alone sleep in the same room with him.
In Shelly's words, she is more concerned about her two pet dogs.
Therefore, in this game, Ashley Cole could only appear on the bench, and Grant gave Bridge, who has been working hard, a chance.
In the midfield, Ballack, who has been flirting with Real Madrid, was also abandoned, and his replacement was Mikel from Nigeria.
Mikel has been growing based on Makelele's template, and now Blues fans are expecting him to play the role of France's midfielder.
…
There were also a large number of Chinese fans in the stands for this game.
In the words of the fans, this is Xiaodong’s third League Cup championship, and of course we are here to support him!
When this is mentioned, Chinese fans become more proud.
In the past three years, Wang Xiaodong has represented two teams and reached three consecutive League Cup finals. Although the League Cup has never been valued by the giants, he has reached the finals for three consecutive years. This is already an incredible personal record.
"Wang Xiaodong, come on!"
"A UEFA Cup hat-trick!"
"Kill Chelsea!"
Compared with the championship, Chinese fans obviously value Wang Xiaodong's personal honor more.
...
In this game, Martin Joel still ranked the traditional 442. Although Robinson's state in the England national team has declined seriously, Martin Joel still chose to believe in the three-year-old national goalkeeper.
The back line is Hutton, Woodgate, Ledley King and Shimbonda.
The Englishman, who just joined Tottenham from Middlesbrough last month, became famous at Newcastle. In the 2004-05 season, he was spotted by the then "Galaxy" and moved to Real Madrid for 13.4 million pounds.
Since then, Woodgate has been plagued by bad luck. Endless injuries and poor form have made him disappear from people's sight for a time.
In 2006, Woodgate was loaned to Middlesbrough and later officially transferred for £7 million.
In nearly two seasons at the Riverside Stadium, the England defender has gradually regained his form. In the end, Martin Joel spent 8 million pounds to bring him to White Hart Lane during this year's winter transfer period.
But his debut made Bai Baihe fans worried.
After all, Woodgate was injured immediately after joining Real Madrid; when he returned from injury, he contributed a red card and a "maiden own goal" in Real Madrid's first game.
How can Tottenham fans not be frightened by such a "strong record"?
The starting lineup in the midfield is very fixed, from left to right, Bell, Wang Xiaodong, Modric and Lennon.
On the forward line, it is still the partnership of Berbatov and Robbie Keane.
Chelsea is quite weird.
Grant continued his "strange tricks" and even formed a weird 433 formation.
The goalkeeper is Cech, the helmet man, the four defenders are Belletti, Carvalho, Terry and Bridge, and the three midfielders are Essien, Mikel and Lampard.
The three players on the forward line are Wright Phillips, Drogba and Anelka.
Anelka was placed on the left, which had never happened before, and fans were deeply doubtful whether he could play his due role.
...
As soon as the game started, Spurs pressed hard.
This has been the norm this season.
These London teams have always been competing for the title of "King of London".
Like the Chelsea team under Magic Bird that "only knows how to drive a bus", even if they win against their opponents, the fans will not admit the Blues' status because of the situation.
Tottenham's youthful storm this season is worthy of the word "king" in terms of both the scene and the results, especially in the face of Wang Xiaodong and Modric's unrelenting fight. In desperation, the Blues had to temporarily give up. Hand over control of the midfield.
In the third minute, Modric sent a through ball, and at the same time, Robbie Keane succeeded in countering offside.
The Blues defender at the end was none other than Bridge, who was exceptionally trusted by Grant.
"Bridgetto was at the end, Tottenham were not offside!"
On the bench, Ashley Cole hugged his shoulders and looked expressionless.
Even if he is on the field, the ball may not return to the central defender in time.
There are so many things that bother him off the court!
Bridge seemed to have noticed the mistake and immediately turned around, pulling down Robbie Keane behind him.
The referee immediately blew his whistle and gave Tottenham a free kick in the frontcourt just after the game started. This was not a good sign.
The Chelsea players looked at Wang Xiaodong standing in front of the ball with fear, especially at the human walls. Their expressions were no different from those of someone who was about to die.
"You really shouldn't have given him a free kick in this position!" Lampard muttered.
"Maybe there will be new injured people on our team." Essien on the side was also extremely pessimistic.
"I hope he can kick it crookedly!" Mikel crossed himself on his chest.
...
The 26-meter free kick was slightly to the right.
Wang Xiaodong retreated far away, full of intimidation.
The ultra-long run-up caused both the wall and Cech to suffer intense psychological torture.
When the ball flew past Lampard's scalp and hit the door frame so hard that it kept shaking, the entire Wembley gasped.
Buzz~~~~
Everyone stayed where they were.
Watch as Chelsea's doorframe trembles.
The first person to react was Cech. He silently came to the back of the goal and asked the ball boy for the ball.
The little caddy, who was so frightened that his mouth opened wide, realized what he was doing. He picked up the spare ball prepared on the table and threw it towards Cech.
When Cech returned to the court with the ball and placed the ball on the line of the small penalty area, everyone came to their senses and ran towards where they should be.
"Wang Xiaodong's free kick was really earth-shattering!" Zhan Jun lamented for Wang Xiaodong, "It was just a little short of creating a perfect start for Tottenham."
"It's a pity that it hit the crossbar."
"But we can also see from the shaking doorframe how powerful Wang Xiaodong's kick is!"
...
The free kick failed, and no one stepped forward to comfort Wang Xiaodong; on the contrary, the Chelsea players themselves comforted each other.
Especially Lampard, who crossed himself.
After all, I just walked through the gate of hell.
However, not long after, Chelsea gave Tottenham another free kick.
"Farke!"
"What the hell is that guy Bridge doing?"
"Is he still thinking about his girlfriend?"
The teammates reluctantly lined up in a human wall again, inevitably swearing.
The location of the foul this time was almost the same as before, except that it was slightly to the left.
The two free kicks are said to be in similar positions, mostly because the effective range of Wang Xiaodong's free kick is too large.
Whether it is 20 meters or 30 meters, whether it is a 60-degree angle or a 90-degree angle, Wang Xiaodong can kick a powerful and heavy shot.
This is terrible!
But there was nothing Bridge could do. If he didn't foul, Bell would use his speed to overtake him.
When the time comes, let Bell pass, and the Great Sage might be able to create a single sword.
That's also dangerous!
