"The order of taking penalties for both sides is out."

The big screen also showed the order. Although the order of the penalty shootout can be adjusted temporarily, most of them will still strictly follow the order given by the head coach.

Manchester United is Li Qiao, Ronaldo, Rooney, Giggs and Scholes.

Liverpool are Mascherano, Torres, Hyypia, Babel, Gerrard.

Manchester United was the first to take the penalty. Amidst huge boos, Li Qiao walked towards the penalty spot. At this time, not only the whole of England was paying attention to this game, but also hundreds of millions of people in the far East were paying attention to this game.

A person, and this person is walking towards the penalty spot.

This kind of pressure is too much.

In the past, Li Qiao could only hide in the shadow of others. At Liverpool, it was Gerrard, and at Arsenal, it was Henry. But at Manchester United, the three tridents are equal, they are all very strong and young, and no one belongs to whom.

Boss.

This feeling is great, but it also means the pressure is greater. After all, the honor and pressure are equal.

Finally reaching the penalty spot, Li Qiao placed the ball and then lowered his head. At this time, the goalkeeper made many gestures to disturb him. The best choice was not to look. Li Qiao only listened to the referee with his ears.

whistle.

As soon as the whistle blew, Li Qiao started to take a run, and combined with a push shot and a fake move, the goalkeeper jumped in the wrong direction.

Ferguson clenched his fist tightly, and the goal went in, and it was a beautiful goal.

In this way, Manchester United passed the first round test and temporarily led 1-0.

The pressure is on Liverpool's side.

Mascherano came out, and the Argentinian warrior held his head high, as if he was scorning everything. The Argentine was still domineering enough. After placing the ball, he looked directly at Manchester United's Van der Sar, with no intention of avoiding it at all.

.

Van der Sar moved left and right in front of the goal, preparing to interfere with Mascherano's judgment, but it seemed to be of no use. Mascherano didn't use any footwork at all, but fired a blast directly into the middle of the goal.

This kind of unreasonable shot is actually rare in penalty shootouts because it can easily be kicked away.

1 to 1.

There were no near misses, and both sides withstood the pressure in the first round.

What no one expected was that both sides were very stable. It was not until the fourth round that the young Dutch player Babel could not withstand the pressure. In front of the Dutch big brother Edwin van der Sar, he did not withstand the pressure and the ball was hit by a half-high penalty.

Van der Sar jumped out.

At this time, Benitez had the urge to go up and take a penalty kick. He felt that even if he went up to take the penalty kick, it would be better than this, but there is no regret in the world. Amidst the comfort of his teammates, Babel retreated to the midfield.

.

The last player on Manchester United's side was Scholes, but the camera was focused on Gerrard's face for a long time.

In fact, it is very clear that if Scholes scored the goal, then Gerrard would not even have a chance to play, and the game would be over. Gerrard's expression was very complicated, and he seemed to have mixed emotions.

Because fate is no longer in Liverpool's hands, the camera cuts back to Scholes walking towards the penalty spot. Will he be the last player to play in this game?

Ferguson turned around and didn't look at the last ball. In just a few dozen seconds, the answer would naturally be revealed.

At this time, the pressure on Scholes could be described as a heavy burden, and Reina also knew the key at this time. He started to play tricks, just not standing in front of the goal. After being warned by the referee with a yellow card, Reina reluctantly walked over.

In front of the goal, and the closer the time is, the greater the pressure on Scholes will be.

Scholes has a bright eye. He is a loyal minister of Manchester United. For the last opportunity to play, Ferguson did not give it to the younger generation such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Li Qiao and Rooney, but gave it to him. This is a deep trust.

Finally, Reina stood where he should be, and the referee's whistle sounded, and a few seconds that were enough to make Manchester United fans suffocate began. Most of the Manchester United people held their breaths to watch Scholes' approach.

There was a crisp sound when the ball touched the ball. Scholes really had a big heart. He used the arch of his foot to push into a blind spot. The ball hit the goalpost and bounced into the goal. The crisp sound was the sound of the ball hitting the goalpost.

This may be the most beautiful bang ever.

The next second, Manchester United players rushed onto the field and we won.

Ferguson and Queiroz hugged each other, two championships were won, and Ronaldo covered his face in midfield and cried.

The pressure at the last moment is too great, and everything may be lost at any time. After all, Manchester United's most glorious achievement is the Triple Crown. As long as they do not win the Triple Crown, this generation of Manchester United people cannot say that they are the best Manchester United.

When Scholes scored the penalty, all the pressure was released, it was over, Manchester United were FA Cup champions.

Wembley has become a sea of ​​joy for Manchester United fans. Liverpool fans are a little sad, but they are not particularly uncomfortable. After all, Liverpool performed really well today and fought until the last moment, leaving Gerrard more depressed.

, he didn’t play, the game was over.

Gerrard was comforting his sad teammates. Life cannot always be a miracle in Istanbul. More often, life is full of helplessness.

Benitez walked over to Ferguson after consoling his players.

"Congratulations."

"Thanks."

The FA Cup may not have high gold content, but the FA Cup has a long history. It is a cup competition that far exceeds the Champions League. Therefore, winning the FA Cup has a strong sense of honor for the English team. In theory, it

, this is the best team in Britain.

At the awards ceremony, runner-up Liverpool was the first to appear. Manchester United lined the streets to welcome their opponents, and Liverpool players left quickly after receiving the award. The runner-up felt uncomfortable. It was Manchester United's turn. This was the second time on the podium in a short period of time.

Yes, it feels great.

In the end, it was Neville who received the trophy and held it high, the song "We Are the Champions" played, and all the Manchester United soldiers were immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

Ferguson was very happy as he touched the FA Cup trophy, but his heart had already flown to distant Moscow, where the Champions League decisive battle awaited him.

Just like winning the league, Manchester United still does not hold any celebrations. Manchester United's attitude is very clear, either none will be held, or three celebrations after the Champions League will be held together.

After returning to Manchester with the championship, the team basically had no rest and resumed training the next day. The players had no complaints as they all knew what the head coach meant.

At the same time in Moscow, the organizers have everything in place. The Luzhniki Stadium, the venue for the final, is ready, and all conditions have met UEFA's requirements.

The Champions League final is about to begin, and fans of both teams have already begun to go to Moscow one after another.
