The biggest fanatic in football

August 26, 2014, 18:45 London time.

2:45 a.m. domestically.

Zhan Jun, the leading commentator of Sina Sports, started his work:

"Welcome everyone to watch the second round of the English League Cup, Manchester United's away match against New Wimbledon. There are still 15 minutes left before the start of the game. Let's take a look at the situation of both sides."

A group of blue players appeared on the big screen behind him:

"The home team is New Wimbledon from the fourth tier. This English second division team was founded in 2002. It is undoubtedly a new team in the entire English football world, but their background is not small at all. They inherited

Wimbledon is the oldest team in English football, founded in 1889. It is a team built entirely by fans and supporters. It always adheres to tradition and glory. At this point,

Worthy of everyone’s respect.”

Zhan Jun looked at the information he had prepared in advance:

"New Wimbledon suffered some injuries in the new season, but still achieved four consecutive league wins. In the last round of the League Cup, they faced the powerful Milton Keynes. They staged a great comeback, but they did not expect it.

The opponents in the second round are even more formidable.”

"Um……"

He hesitated for a moment:

"It is worth mentioning that the home team has a friendly Asian face, Lee Polo, and it was his header that allowed the Mad Gang to kill the enemy. Judging from his name and appearance, he is probably a

A Chinese player, but unfortunately there is too little information about the English second division team, so we can't get a deeper understanding of this 20-year-old youngster."

The footage of the previous round of competition was being played on the screen. Lee Polo jumped high in the crowd and hit the goal with a head shake that was extremely visually impactful, condemning Milton Keynes to death!

The screen then turned to Manchester United, and Zhan Jun could finally put down the information in his hands:

"The visiting team is the 'Red Devils' Manchester United that everyone is very familiar with. In the first season after Sir Alex Ferguson retired, Manchester United, as the defending champion, only ranked seventh in the league, and the management could only fire people with poor results.

The head coach Moyes and the famous Dutch coach Louis van Gaal took office, but the team's situation did not improve immediately. In the first two rounds of the league, they had one loss and one draw, without winning a single victory. It is obvious that they are not on the right track yet.

However, just this morning, Manchester United officially announced the signing of Argentina's Angel Wings Di Maria from Real Madrid. The transfer fee is as high as 60 million pounds, breaking the record of the most expensive signing in the Premier League held by Torres. Such a transfer is undoubtedly

It will give Manchester United a shot in the arm."

-

Thousands of miles away in England, local TV station BBC also sent a reporting team composed of football legend Gary Lineker and special guest, former Manchester United captain Gary Neville.

Lineker looked at the lists of both sides in his hand and raised his own topic:

"In your memory, is it an amazing thing for Manchester United to appear in the second round of the League Cup?"

The League Cup is a cup competition between the four professional leagues of the Premier League, Championship, League One, and League Two. As a top team, Manchester United used to be arranged to play in the third round, but Manchester United's performance last season was really bad.

In the end, they only ranked seventh. With no European competition to play in, they could only play early. This is not a good thing for Manchester United in any case.

Neville nodded:

"Indeed, this is rare."

Seeing that he didn't want to delve into this topic, Lineker immediately changed direction:

"Manchester United is only one day away from the last game and has almost no rest time. Judging from the 18-man squad they submitted, Rooney, Robin van Persie, Mata, Carrick, Ashley Young, Smalling, Jones and other main players

None of the players have entered the roster, and new aid Di Maria will not appear in the game. In the starting lineup, only goalkeeper De Gea is the absolute main force. It seems that Van Gaal wants to let young people practice on the fourth-level team.

Practice your skills, what do you think?"

Neville nodded:

"Indeed, if the substitute players perform well, it may also be able to provide some positive stimulation to the main players, thus triggering healthy competition within the team..."

Lineker agreed:

"As a Manchester United legend, or as a commentator, how much do you know about today's home team?"

Neville shrugged:

"Crazy Gang, all football people know this name. Their style of play is tough and powerful, and they are feared in all levels of English leagues. In 1988, I remember clearly, when I was only 13 years old, this team defeated

The arrogant Liverpool won the FA Cup that year."

Lineker laughed:

"You were already a youth player at Manchester United at that time, right?"

Neville also smiled:

"Yes, so we are very happy to see Liverpool being robbed of the championship."

He immediately put away his smile again:

"But I know almost nothing about the new Wimbledon today. I'm sorry, but it's true."

Lineker also looked matter-of-fact:

"This is normal, brother. The only thing I know about this team is that they signed Adebayo Akinfenwa this season. Maybe you will have some impression of this guy?"

Neville cooperated and put on a thoughtful look:

"Oh, he is the strongest player in England? Look at his size, he is really oppressive!"

As the commentators chatted, the players from both sides lined up in the tunnel and began to walk towards the court one after another.

As the right back, Lee Polo was the third player to appear after the deputy captain Smith and goalkeeper Shea, who had returned from injury, while Akinfenwa, the center, was the last player to appear.

Before the game, Li Polo originally thought he would be very excited, but when the moment actually arrived, he seemed extremely calm.

Perhaps it's because he is playing at home and is surrounded by the sounds of supporters.

Maybe... it's just because his opponent is not as scary as he imagined?

De Gea, Michael Keane, Evans, Vermeer, Janko, Powell, Anderson, Reece James, Shinji Kagawa, Hernandez, Welbeck, among the eleven starting players, he was the only one.

Meet five!

De Gea is another Spanish goalkeeper after Casillas, and there is no need to go into details.

Brazilian midfielder Anderson is world-famous for winning the European Golden Boy Award in 2008, and has also become the most prestigious Golden Boy Award winner.

Shinji Kagawa once played an important role in Dortmund's re-emergence and even overturned Bayern's dominance in the Bundesliga. With his outstanding performance, he was once regarded as Asia's number one superstar.

"Little Pea" Hernandez is Mexico's main striker. Although he is only the third option on Manchester United's front line, he also scored 15 goals last season and his efficiency was very good.

As a member of Manchester United's youth training, "Black Bay" Welbeck is not only a representative of England's new generation of strikers, but also an outstanding representative of this generation's "happy football".

These five players seem to have backgrounds, but except for De Gea, the other four are just regulars on Manchester United's bench. Compared with the main players Robin van Persie, Rooney, Carrick, Mata, and Di Maria, their personal strength and

There is an obvious gap in status within the team. As for Keane, Vermeer and others, they are even more unknown. Even Manchester United fans do not understand the strength of these young players at all.

The two sides lined up and shook hands one by one under the witness of the referee team to express their friendship.

The broadcast camera focused on the 22 starting players and suddenly captured an unharmonious picture.

The player wearing the blue jersey No. 1 paused for a moment in front of the red team player No. 19, and then said something quickly.

Welbeck, who was originally dark-skinned, now looks even more gloomy!

The yellow-skinned monkey that just walked past me actually challenged me!

"You can't even think of scoring a goal in this game!"

Good boy, do you want to stop the British Emperor's goal?

Who do you think you are riding a horse?
