Fortunately, Van Persie stood up again after a brief treatment by the team doctor, and then signaled to George Lee off the court that there was no problem.
George Li also felt relieved.
On the field, Leeds United still surrounded the referee and Ziegler who committed the foul.
The referee showed Ziegler a yellow card and then dismissed other nearby players.
In the stands, Ferguson told Helen a story.
"In the 1960s, the head coach of Leeds United was Don Revie. He was a great English coach and one of the best in history."
"Leeds United at that time was called a dirty United by others, you know?"
"It's not just because of their rough style of play, it's also because their games are boring, they encourage defense, physical confrontation, and pursue a 1-0 doctrine. In short, they do whatever it takes to win."
"The media describes Don Reavie as a paranoid, negative person, a pessimist, and a person who is afraid of failure."
"Do you think George is such a person?"
Helen shook her head desperately. It was difficult to connect the current George Lee with the countless generations before him.
"Listen to me, I'm not done yet."
"Behind the scenes, Don Revie has completely transformed the team. He has strict dress code for the team and attaches great importance to the incentive and punishment system for the players."
"He likes to study his opponents, obsessively."
"His notes are very thick. He will target the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, including the players' preferences and habits, etc."
"In short, I admire him very much. He has set many precedents and led many trends."
"Have you seen George's thick notes?"
Helen still shook her head. He knew that George Li had the habit of taking notes, but he had never seen many of his notebooks, let alone piled them up.
"It's all there..." Ferguson pointed to the Leeds United dugout.
Because they were far apart, Helen glanced at him, and then continued to look at Ferguson, waiting for Ferguson to give an answer.
"They are all my disciples. If any of the three of them were still at Manchester United now, I would wake up laughing at night."
"That's right, it's the one who was least effective at the beginning."
The answer is readily apparent: Leeds United’s current technical director, Chris Casper, is currently operating a laptop on the coaching bench.
When Ferguson said this, he didn't take into account Queiroz next to him at all.
He knows that Queiroz will only be back for a while, and he will still go out to work alone if he has the opportunity. As he is getting older, how long can he continue to work at Manchester United? It is time to put the training of successors on the agenda.
There are many outstanding young coaches in the Premier League and other English leagues, but when Ferguson compares him with the one off the field, there is a huge difference.
"That one will be the same as Don Revie sooner or later. Maybe, he can be better."
After hearing this, Helen followed Ferguson's gaze and looked at George Li on the side of the field.
And now George Lee is waving his hands, and then waiting for Baynes to come over and celebrate when he scores.
In the 81st minute of the game, Baines took the set kick created by Robin van Persie and sent it directly into the door of his old club.
This opportunity was applied for by himself. He took the initiative to take the set kick, and then got approval from George Lee on the sidelines.
Looking at George Lee's outstretched thumb on the sidelines, Baynes nodded firmly to the coach.
Then there was a "full moon scimitar" like Beckham's, which hit the dead center of the goal.
3 to 0.
There was no chance of a comeback for Wigan. The left-back who left Wigan killed Wigan's last hope.
Baynes came to the sidelines and hugged George Lee.
"Boss, I still can't hold it in, I still can't hold it in..."
"Well done, Layton..."
Wigan's players were like deflated balls, looking down at Leeds United.
After going through a lot of hard work and defeating many strong teams, we reached the finals, but we lost completely.
Maybe this is football.
^^^
After this goal, both sides did not work hard, and Leeds United did not press here. Wigan's offense here also dragged its feet and almost gave up the game. Even if the team's coach Paul Jewell shouted from the sidelines, it didn't help.
Then Jewell simply gave up and replaced several main players of the team.
In the end, although three minutes of additional time were needed, the referee blew the whistle to end the game just one or two minutes after the 90th minute.
"Let's go, Carlos." Ferguson urged Queiroz to leave.
"Aren't you going to watch the awards?" Queiroz thought Ferguson was going to watch this former disciple attend the awards and lift his first championship trophy.
"What's there to see? The fans around are going to sing the Leeds United team anthem. Can you sing it... Anyway, I can't."
"Okay, let's go..." Although Queiroz was a head coach before, now that he has returned to Manchester United, he can only listen to Ferguson.
As soon as Ferguson stood up, he suddenly thought of something and turned to Helen.
"That guy will probably invite you down to celebrate together in a while. Just listen to me and don't go down."
"Why?" Helen was curious.
"What if he pulls out a ring, what will you do, will you accept it or not?"
Helen blushed and covered her mouth.
Angry and funny.
"Listen to me, the League Cup champion is too cheap."
After speaking, Ferguson turned around and left first.
Sure enough, Helen received a text message on her phone after a while.
Come down and celebrate together later? --plum
No. ——Helen
Why? --plum
There was an old man sitting next to me just now. He left after seeing Leeds United win the championship. I saw that he was walking too fast, so I helped him and left together. ——Helen
Old Leeds United fan? --plum
Manchester United's. ——Helen
......--plum
He asked me to congratulate you. ——Helen
I'm going to present the awards, we'll talk later. --plum
Well, congratulations! ——Helen
Helen looked at the court. Officials from the Football Association first shook hands with George Li, and then hung the championship medal around his neck.
Then George Li walked past the championship trophy, glanced at it briefly, and then walked to the podium in front.
The players behind him walked past one by one to receive their championship medals.
After George Lee, there are substitute players such as Kelly, Hart, and De Jong.
After they received the medals, some touched the trophy and some kissed it.
Parker, Matthiassen, and Van der Sar all received their medals one after another, and then went to the trophy.
The last one is today's Leeds United captain, Alan Smith.
He shook hands and hugged the officials in turn, then hung up the medal. Then he walked to the League Cup trophy, picked up the trophy with one hand, and came to the podium.
However, he did not immediately lift the trophy. Instead, he found Gary Kelly and motioned for him to lift this hard-won trophy.
Kelly quickly waved his hand to indicate no need. After all, he has stepped down from the position of captain. Logically speaking, it should be Smith who raised it.
"Let's go together."
Seeing that the two people had been giving in, George Li spoke.
Smith looked at Kelly, and Kelly looked at Smith and laughed.
"Let's do it together..." "If you don't lift it up, Mills will do it." "Robin, I didn't say that." "Hurry up, let's do it together..."
The rest of the team booed.
In the end, the trophy was lifted by Smith and Kelly together. Smith grabbed both sides and lifted it hard. Kelly, on the other hand, held on with both hands and pushed upward slightly.
After the trophy was lifted, countless pieces of white, gold, and blue paper sprayed out from behind, sparkling under the lights.
“Here we go with Leeds United”
"We're gonna give the boys a hand"
...
"We are so proud we'll shout it out loud"
"We love you Leeds, Leeds, Leeds"
"Marching on together" was sung by all Leeds United fans at the final stadium.
Since the 1992 Community Shield.
After 14 years, Leeds United once again won the championship trophy.
