Chapter 619 The smell of gunpowder before the Champions League final
"Ai Luo, who makes people feel dreadful, is back! No one else's speed, unparalleled personal dribbling! Come on!! Keep going, the third championship of this season will be getting closer..." Zhan Jun said excitedly.
Lampard took the penalty kick overnight and tied the score at 1:2
Although the score was still leading by one goal, Portsmouth's coach Palin couldn't sit still, and began to frequently stand on the sidelines and call on the players to concentrate on defense and cheer up.
However, the players on the court felt the pressure coming from their faces and couldn’t take into account the various arrangements of the head coach off the court. In the past 3 minutes, it was Aiello again. He used his skillful foot skills to sway Glenn Johnson.
Immediately, a tsunami-like shout erupted from around the new Wembley Stadium, expressing their unhappiness for Chelsea to score two consecutive goals within 5 minutes of the second half!
At the end of the first half, they once thought that Chelsea would lose the FA Cup champion, but what they didn't expect was that after a short 15-minute intermission, the team would undergo earth-shaking changes. That is to say, the FA Cup trophy that they thought could not be touched would be within reach. The huge gap in their hearts made them burst out at this moment.
What is even more exciting is that the Chelsea players who equalized the score did not choose to celebrate, but picked up the football from the goal and placed it in the middle circle...
Palin, who was standing in the visiting team's command area, clenched his fists, but he was powerless. The difference in strength prevented him from making any changes on the court. If he was to blame, he had too few cards in his hand... Moreover, Chelsea's self-adjustment ability is really too strong. It is really more difficult than reaching the sky to regain the lead!
The next game was indeed as Palin expected. Chelsea began to take the initiative in an all-round way. Instead, their own players made frequent active mistakes. Fortunately, they were not overtaken by Chelsea in the few minutes after being equalized.
But many doomed results cannot be changed. In the 70th minute of the game, Ballack intercepted the ball from the backcourt and directly launched a long pass to counterattack. Drogba headed the ball in the middle.
Accompanied by the huge cheers erupting from the new Wembley Stadium in an instant, Ai Luo left the two behind in less than two seconds. The next task was very simple. A fake shot passed James, the old England goal, and scored the ball into the empty goal!
3:2! !
Chelsea scored three consecutive goals in the second half! ! !
At the same time, huge shouts erupted from the stands, which was a bit louder than Ai Luo's beautiful consecutive stops!
Seeing this, Palin closed his eyes in pain. He knew... There was no room for maneuver in this match!
Before the end of the game, Aiello and Kalu each scored a goal!
With a total score of 5:2, they defeated Portsmouth and won the FA Cup in the 2007-2008 season!
Aiello, who contributed two goals and two assists in this game, undoubtedly became the best player in this FA Cup final. At the moment the whistle was over, he was surrounded by teammates with malicious intentions, but he had a lesson from the league championship. He took advantage of his speed and forced his teammates out of breath.
So at the end of the game, the commentators in the live studio began to humorously start the lines at the end of the game.
CCTV-5’s commentator in charge of live commentary for this game is the current “first brother” Huang Jianxiang. When Ai Luo successfully “escaped” from the control of his teammates, he blurted out: “From this scene, it can be easily seen that Ai Luo gets along very happily with his teammates. From another perspective, whether a player performs well in a team has a lot to do with his popularity in the team, because every bit of life will be brought into the game... I remember I once said that there is no shortcut to success, The Aiello in front of us is such a talented and hard-working player! Come on Aiello! I hope Chelsea can have the last laugh in the Champions League final..."
Huang Jianxiang's words made the young players sitting in front of the TV and watching the live broadcast ponder...
※※※
A football game is played by eleven players, but the media's attention is always on the most shining player.
As the hero of Chelsea’s second-half comeback, Aiello was naturally interviewed by a swarm of reporters in the mixed zone. The first interview was the “Times” which has a cooperative relationship with the FA. The reporter who interviewed him was also a half-acquaintance, a 40-year-old middle-aged man named Tony Barrett. He was in good shape. If he wore a jersey, he would definitely be regarded as a professional player.
"Was winning the FA Cup part of your plan?"
Ai Luo replied without hesitation: "Yes, this is the result of our plan!"
"Will you be champions in the Champions League final in six days' time?"
"Of course, at this stage of the finals, why don't you consider the championship? You must know that I am the king of the finals!"
The reporters in the mixed area were choked up by Ai Luo's answer, especially the local reporters in Manchester, who almost wrote the word "displeased" on their faces, but then again, Ai Luo was not wrong. Since the beginning of his career, as long as he has won the finals he has experienced, he has no reason to refute...
The next question was Aiello's old acquaintance, Enrique Wien. He winked and asked: "The third championship of the season has been won, are you going to win the last Champions League championship? By the way... Your good friend Cristiano Ronaldo said in an interview with reporters that he would beat you. How are you going to respond?"
"Hey... This is naturally by the way, but the question you asked sent a text message to that guy, Cristiano Ronaldo, do you want to know what I replied?"
Ai Luo ignored the dissatisfied gazes of other Manchester local reporters and asked back.
Only the local reporters in Manchester were dissatisfied. Other reporters were very interested in Ai Luo's question, so they kept nodding.
"Hey, I replied directly, don't let me down!"
For a moment, there was an uproar in the mixed area, and then fell into a self-sluggish state, even Ai Luo left without noticing...
In addition to Aiello being the favorite of reporters in the Chelsea team, coach Mourinho is also the key interviewee.
What made the reporters happy was that Mourinho was worthy of being called a "madman". When the reporter mentioned the Champions League final six days later, he did not hesitate to express his thoughts: "Manchester United? Hehe... I don't think about them. In short, we must be Chelsea who won the final championship!"
Fortunately, with Ai Luo's previous answer to the question to lay the foundation, he has the ability to resist Mourinho's answer, otherwise he will fall into dullness again...
……
The efficiency of the FA staff was very fast. As soon as the Chelsea players changed into the commemorative jerseys of their '5' championships, they were told to prepare for the award ceremony.
The awarding of the FA Cup is different from the awarding of the league championship. Like the League Cup champion, there is a special awarding channel above the rostrum of the New Wembley Stadium, so the players and coaching staff of the runner-up Portsmouth came to the stage to receive the medals.
They knew that they were not the protagonists here, so they left the court listlessly and early after receiving the silver medal.
Then... came the most exciting moment, all the members of the champion Chelsea came to the stage to accept the award!
※※※
The next day, the headlines of British newspapers were basically dominated by Aiello, Mourinho and Chelsea winning the 2007-2008 FA Cup.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the end of the Premier League.
However, when the major newspapers were circulating in the major newsstands in England, all the members of Chelsea had already boarded the owner Abramovich's private jet to Moscow, preparing for the next Champions League final against Manchester United!
At the same time, Manchester United stars Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney and head coach Ferguson, who are actively preparing for the Champions League final in Moscow, were interviewed by reporters during the training break.
When Cristiano Ronaldo learned from reporters what Aiello said when he won the FA Cup, he was not angry because of it, but shrugged: "I have always had a healthy competition with him (Ai), just like my super performance this season, it is all due to the pressure he brought me, so this is not a bad thing, maybe... This is one of the motivations that stimulated me to score in the Champions League final..."
No one thought that Cristiano Ronaldo would answer like this, so it took a little time to react.
Ferguson did not respond directly to Aiello and Mourinho's remarks, but made people think.
"You must know that this is the top European Champions League final! At that time, it is really uncertain who will win..."
The answers given by Cristiano Ronaldo, Rooney and Ferguson to the reporter surprised the reporter, because there was no expected gunpowder at all. Instead, it was like a reminder of condolences to each other, which lacked a lot of fun before the Champions League final.
But they quickly realized that it was only because of the mistakes of the interviewed players. Then in the interview with 'The Beast' Tevez, he answered quite fieryly: "I really don't know where their confidence comes from, but I won't remind them, because they underestimated us, and they should bear the consequences at that time!"
Hargreaves directly talked about Ai Luo in an interview: "He is great, but he also knows how to respect his opponent. Cristiano is a great young man, [-] times better than him!"
Not long after, Essien, who arrived in Moscow by Abramovich's private jet, immediately stopped doing it when he learned about it, and said directly: "Tell them to stop talking nonsense, and just do it if they have the ability!"
It wasn't until this moment that the reporters felt... the coming atmosphere of the Champions League final!
Especially the Premier League derby, which appeared for the first time in the history of the Champions League final, is full of gunpowder to make the game more exciting!
