Hero of the Penalty Area

Reporters and editors ignored him with the frustrated growl, because it made no sense. In the end, everyone's attention has to fall back to the football game itself.

It's impossible to hype it up before the game. In the end, everyone stopped watching the game and just watched the media hype with each other.

As the FA Cup finals approached day by day, everyone's attention shifted to the game itself.

After the media found that no matter what methods they used, they couldn't open the mouths of both sides of the game, they had no choice but to fry, and that was to re-turn the love and hatred between the referee James and the two teams of Liverpool and Everton.

The controversial game was brought up again by the media a few months later. The media kept reminding readers and fans of the special nature of this referee and the relationship between him and the two teams. Through these, I will tell everyone that this game is extraordinary and there are many points worthy of everyone's attention.

Under the frantic hype in the media, even the FA could not sit still and had to come forward to refute the rumors again, saying that the arrangement of James as the referee of the game was decided long ago and has nothing to do with Liverpool and Everton. Moreover, at that time, no one would have thought that Liverpool and Everton would appear in the FA Cup final. This is really a coincidence... They hope that some media will not be boring to make such hype.

Such hype by the media has yielded nothing other than a warning from the FA. Whether it is Liverpool or Everton, they have avoided talking about this refereeing issue.

In desperation, the media had no choice but to return to the right path, but it was also the most boring way.

They honestly introduced the fans to the recent state of the two teams, analyzed the history of the two teams... these contents are really boring.

But it must be done. A careful person may be able to tell which team has a higher winning percentage.

As for the Liverpool reserve team, there is no injury problem. The morale of the team is high. Coupled with Chen Yingxiong and Carlton Cole, this team is strong enough. This is from past League Cup and FA Cup matches. It can already be seen.

In addition, they have a long rest time and a long time to prepare for battle.

The only problem is that the rest period is too long. The preparation time is too long. Maybe it will make the players lose their foot feel and state.

Although Martin O'Neal let some reserve players participate in the last four rounds of the Premier League. But after all, not all Liverpool reserve players have a share. There is always half of the people who do not have this opportunity.

Everton's advantage here is that they are the first team, and the game experience will definitely be more abundant than that of the Liverpool reserve team.

The problem is that they have just ended a long and stressful season, and the team is exhausted. If there is no time to rest and make any adjustments, we must play in the finals immediately. This is a severe test for the players' physical fitness and willpower.

Because neither side took the initiative to provoke the incident, the FA Cup final arrived in a calm atmosphere.

This disappointed many reporters.

In their opinion, this is a game full of gimmicks. Especially James, as the referee of this game, makes this game full of infinite possibilities.

The media actually want to see Chen Yingxiong lashing out at James before the game, so the game hasn't started yet. The atmosphere has been pushed up **.

How can I think that Chen Yingxiong was not fooled at all.

He kept silent.

But the media do not believe that Chen Yingxiong really has no opinion on that James.

Well, you little fox. You don't want to let people grab the handle before the game, but you will always show your tail during the game!

Let us wait and see!

May 20th, four o'clock in the afternoon, the FA Cup final day.

The Wembley Stadium is full of seats, full of fans from Liverpool and Everton.

There was a lot of people in the stadium, Liverpool fans and Everton fans were singing before the game. This is the traditional way for English fans to cheer for their team.

The two teams were originally rivals in the same city, and the relationship between the fans of the two teams can be imagined. They use singing as a weapon to attack each other. Extraordinarily exciting. For a while, the singing resounded over Wembley Stadium, echoing for a long time.

At this time, in the locker room, the two teams are making the final preparations for the appearance.

In the Everton locker room, Moyes told the players with a serious face, the last things to pay attention to.

But his eyebrows couldn't hide his worry.

The game will start in ten minutes. But he still failed to find his own flaws, as well as Liverpool's conspiracy.

It stands to reason that I haven't found the words yet. You should give up.

But for a smart man like Moyes, he can't just give up. The more he doesn't understand, the more he wants to figure it out, and he must get to the bottom of it.

He always believes in his own wisdom. Believe it too much, and that's it in the end-cleverness is mistaken by cleverness.

Although he had tried very hard to cover up in front of the players, the worry between his brows was still clearly seen by everyone.

Players are pure creatures on the football field-they only need to follow the instructions of the head coach. Don't need to think too much, anyway, there is a head coach for everything. The head coach told them to go east. They go east. So they don't have to think about other things too much.

So they didn't understand what their head coach was worried about.

They didn't see any problem from Chen Yingxiong's low profile.

But they saw the problem in Moyes' look.

What's wrong with the coach?

What is he worried about? Worried that we can't win the game?

Although the strength of the Liverpool reserve team is indeed not weak, it shouldn't be worrying to this point, right?

We at Everton go all out, can't we fight them? We couldn't beat Liverpool before. That was because Liverpool was the first team. Now the opponent in front of us is the reserve team! Can the reserve team be better than the first team? No matter how bad we are, we won't even be unable to deal with the reserve team, right?

People tend to think crookedly, especially after preconceived ideas.

The more I think about it, the Everton players feel that it should be like this-the head coach is worried about whether the team can beat the Liverpool reserve team, and worried that speaking out will affect morale, so he is particularly low-key in front of the media. He can't speak, so he can only secretly worry, and this worry is reflected in some of his details.

He was a little absent-minded in training before. It must be for this reason!

Many Everton players feel very sad and unhappy when they think that their head coach is worried that they will not be able to win. We are your players! You brought this team out by yourself! Before such an important game in the FA Cup final. Can't you give some confidence and trust your team? What's so scary about the Liverpool reserve team? Isn't it just a reserve team? Just scared you like this! Could it be that ten defeats in the same city derby will hit you so hard?

The Everton players who felt that they were not trusted by the coach were injured. Some people are dissatisfied and want to prove their ability in the game and prove that the coach's worries are unnecessary. Some people are dissatisfied. They think that since the head coach doesn't believe us anymore, why are we trying our best? It is only natural to lose the game anyway. Others feel frustrated, lose the trust of the coach, and lose motivation.

For a time, several undercurrents surged among Everton's players.

It's a pity that Moyes's mind is still "Where did Liverpool find our problem?" "What problem did we have and were caught by Liverpool without paying attention?" Above this. I didn't notice the look on the faces of my players at all.

Because of his lack of thought, his pre-war mobilization was painless. This scene was seen by Everton's players, and it made them firmer in their ideas-now it is not a guess, but a final conclusion.

Their coach does not trust them!

At the same time, in the Liverpool locker room, the situation is much simpler.

Martin O'Neal waved his big hand to boost the morale and fighting spirit of the reserve team.

"Guys. What are your efforts for a season? Isn't it for this day? I know. The Champions League final belongs to the first team, and many of you will not be able to participate in the Champions League final."

There are more than many people... there is only one person who can participate in the Champions League final, and that person is Chen Yingxiong. No one else can, even Carlton Cole, who has recently risen so fast that he can dribble the ball on the court, is not eligible to represent the first team in the Champions League final. First of all, he was not registered in the team's 25-man roster to participate in the Champions League. Secondly, even if he is on the roster, with his strength, he does not want to represent Liverpool's first team in the Champions League final.

Everyone is very clear about their situation, so when Martin O'Neill tells the truth. No one in the Liverpool reserve team felt uncomfortable.

"But now you have a chance. This FA Cup final is actually your Champions League final! Play it like the Champions League final!"

Nothing else was said, it was as simple as that, but it was enough. The effect has been achieved.

The players of the Liverpool reserve team were encouraged to fight.

The boss is right! This is our Champions League final!

The reserve team also has the glory that the reserve team can pursue!

※※※

that's it. The two teams walked through the player channel with completely different moods and stepped onto the turf of Wembley Stadium.

In the stands, the fans from both sides whispered in the tsunami, pushing the atmosphere to the extreme.

Listening to the deafening shouts, the Liverpool fans raised their heads and looked around, and their hearts were surging.

We have all watched the Champions League final on TV.

In the UEFA Champions League final, when both participating teams played, it was nothing more than that.

Wembley is also the stadium where the Champions League final has been held.

Such a feeling, such an atmosphere, and such a stadium...

Isn't this our Champions League final?

Amid the shouts of the fans, they held their heads high.

This scene surprised the Everton players next to him-how come the mental outlook of the reserve players next to him has risen to the next level in such a short journey out of the tunnel?

※※※

Among those who are watching these reserve players is Everton coach Moyes, who played early, standing in front of the coaching bench.

He frowned even more when he saw the reserve players with their heads up and their heads up and walking onto the court with confidence.

He kept repeating in his heart.

That's right! That's right! They must have some secret weapon! They must have found something wrong! They know it well, and the reason why they are so unscrupulous must be that something went wrong with us... but hell! What the **** is wrong with us? !

Who will tell me!

What problem do we have to make the Liverpool reserve team so confident!

He roared in his heart.

No one can answer his question.

Because there is no such question at all, no question, where can the answer be?

Moyes fell into an inexplicable anxiety.

In his view, the confident smiles on the faces of the Liverpool reserve players are also a sly smile that the conspiracy is about to succeed. Especially the leader Chen Yingxiong, that is no longer a smirk, but a mockery of himself! He was laughing at his incompetence! ! ~!
