Chapter 86 Temptation
Boya did not sit in the most famous Royal Box at Wembley Stadium. She just like an ordinary fan, bought a ticket that was not good or bad, and then covered herself tightly and walked into the magnificent stadium on time with the fans who sang and danced.
Because the weather is still cold, Boya's outfit is not outstanding, and she wears more clothes than her, and there are more people who cover her tighterly.
After successfully entering the stadium, finding a seat, Boya sat down.
After looking around, Boya finally found the two familiar figures. She frowned in her heart, but thinking that the other party was also responsible, she simply pretended not to see it as before.
The stands of Wembley Stadium are divided into three floors: upper, middle and lower. The upper floor has the most seats and the middle floor has the least seats. Boya is located in the middle floor of the east stand, with a good viewing field. In other words, the viewing field of the entire Wembley Stadium stand is good, thanks to the beautiful arch. Yes, that arch is not entirely a decoration. Its purpose is to use dozens of steel cables to fix the north roof and 60% of the south roof of Wembley Stadium, so that the new Wembley does not need to use support columns to support the ceiling like the old stadium, so that the entire stadium can have a good viewing field of football.
At this time, the players from both sides had already warmed up before the game on the court. Although the distance was still far, Boya still suddenly discovered the figure standing on the sidelines.
He put his hands in his pockets, and he could not see his expression, but he could only look into the stands from time to time.
It would be strange if you can find me.
For some reason, Boya thought he should be looking for him, so she said to herself, but she couldn't help but remember the first time he was watching football with Cinderella and Ariel in the stands. At that time, he was the head coach of another team.
A shaky team.
At that time, he was standing on the sidelines, like a newcomer who had just entered the workplace. Now, he is leading a team that can compete with any team in the world. Before the game, he still had the intention to look into the stands.
"Are you... also a Manchester City fan?" Just as Boya was in memory, a crisp voice came from beside her. Boya turned her head and found a young girl sitting next to her. Compared with her who was not "professional", the girl in front of her was fully armed, with scarves, hats and jerseys. But so much equipment made her a little more playful.
This is a girl who is very easy to remind Boya of Cinderella. It makes Boya feel a little close.
"This side should be the stands for Manchester City fans, isn't it?" Boya smiled.
"That's right." The girl nodded with a smile, and then said in surprise, "Seeing that you don't have anything related to Manchester City, I thought..."
"I think I'm a Manchester United fan?"
"Of course not, no Manchester United fans dare to sit here. That's their territory." As he said, the young girl pointed to the red ocean in the opposite stands.
Boya still smiled.
"By the way, my name is Ada." The young girl was very enthusiastic, and she introduced herself. Then she turned sideways to reveal an old man sitting on the other side of her. "This is my grandfather, to watch this game. He doesn't even do business."
The old man, who was also full of sky blue, turned his head and didn't say anything, but just smiled kindly at Boya, saying hello.
Boya responded politely and then introduced herself.
“Boya.”

The League Cup is not the most important event in England, but for both sides of the game, especially for Manchester City, this is the most important event at present.
Because this is the last time Manchester City won this honor. It was in the 76th year of the last century, thirty-three years ago, and it was also the latest championship that Manchester City won. The timed banner that Manchester United fans hung in the west stands of Old Trafford Stadium, which was regarded as a shame by all Manchester City fans, started with this championship.
And now, Manchester City is expected to end this shameful record.
Manchester City ceo Gary Cook appeared in the stands, but he was not the most heavyweight in Manchester City, because sitting next to him was Mubarak. Originally, Manchester City owner Mansour even planned to watch the game himself, but considering that Mansour, as a politician, has been busy recently, Mubarak finally convinced him to stay in Abu Dhabi to watch the game live on TV. This is ultimately just a League Cup final. Although it may be the first with a very iconic significance, it will definitely not be the last one.
At this time, with the whistle of the referee in the center of the court, a burst of warm applause suddenly erupted over the court.
The competition begins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Welcome to Wembley Stadium, welcome to the scene of the final of the England League Cup this season. The two sides of the game are the familiar Manchester two-man. Currently, these two teams are ranked second and third in the league. This is destined to be a fierce showdown..." The person in charge of commenting on this game is still the golden pair of Andy Grey and Martin Taylor.
"...Manchester City is still 4231. It is worth mentioning that Bale, who had been rumored to pay, did not appear in Manchester City's starting lineup. Standing at the left winger, was Reus who was introduced by Manchester City in the winter. In Manchester United, Scholes, who was unanimously optimistic about the starting lineup before the game, finally sat on the bench. Sir Ferguson instead adopted Gary Neville in the right back position, and the young Raphael sat on the bench."
"Lin's choice is not unexpected. After all, Bale has just recovered from injury, so it is unlikely that he will start in such a game. It is a bit surprising that Manchester United's Gary Neville can start. Manchester United's captain is not in very good shape this season..."
...
It was not only them who were surprised, but Lin Sen was also a little surprised. Because in his opinion, whether he started Bale or Reus, he was a player with outstanding speed. Gary Neville Lin Sen could not deny that he was a great player, but he was already thirty-five years old after all, and at this point, it may not be applicable to Jiang or old.
Lin Sen turned his head intentionally or unintentionally, and his eyes quickly swept across Ferguson not far away.
This game is the second final of Linson's coaching career and his second meeting with Ferguson.
But Lin Sen has not yet "confronted" with Ferguson head-on. The confrontation here is naturally not on the court, but the two have never had face-to-face communication. The post-match press conference in the last game was originally an opportunity, but unfortunately Ferguson was absent. This time, both sides were held at various training bases. Therefore, for most of the season coaching Manchester City, Lin Sen and this legend who has almost become synonymous with the Premier League. Apart from the occasional air-to-air look at each other during the last game, there were only a few times in the media that were not considered tit-for-tat "dialogues".
Impression? That's all the impressions of others.
Ferguson in Lin Sen's eyes was still the same as in the first round, with his eyes watching the court behind the lens, his mouth constantly chewing... There was no sign of anything unusual.
Lin Sen shook his head in his heart. What exactly Ferguson had plans? It seems that the answer still needs to be found by himself in the game.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is still no good game in the competition.
Although both sides are not conservative in terms of lineup and style of play, the attitudes of both sides are unexpectedly consistent. After the game started, both sides were only conservatively testing, and the wing roads that both sides pay great attention to are undoubtedly the key areas for both sides to test.
Linson quickly found his answer, after the ball at Reus was cut off by Gary Neville.
To be precise, it was not Gary Neville who broke the ground, but he and Valencia joined forces to break the ground.
Manchester United's right-side defense is indeed not all about Gary Neville. It is obvious that Valencia is Ferguson's reliance. Valencia, who has excellent speed and strength, plays as the right forward in this game. He has played as a full-back and is a typical baseline-to-bottom-line player. As long as he is willing to participate in defense, Reus really can't take advantage in front of him and Gary Neville.
Moreover, this pair of pairs is not just as simple as being stable in defense, and it will not be inferior in offense. Valencia has excellent ability to attack and defend. As for Gary Neville, if Linson thinks that he cannot go forward and assist because of his age, it would be wrong. Although Gary Neville's age no longer allows him to go back and forth like Valencia, his rich experience will make him more accurate in judging the time of insertion. Maybe at critical moments, he will appear in a critical position.
With these two people, Manchester City's left side is destined to be difficult to open the gap in a short period of time. The reason is that it is short period of time is that Gary Neville's physical energy consumption will inevitably intensify in the second half. At that time, it is not completely compensated by experience.
On the right, Robben's existence gave Manchester City some initiative. After the opening, David Silva was more on the "care" side. As Lin Sen thought, Park Ji-sung replaced Scholes in this game, and his main task was obviously to guard Robben. The Koreans are technically different from Robben, but his own "dog skin plaster" attribute has made Robben not get much good opportunities at least in the past period of time.
Although the two sides are entangled, there are still highlights at least. Compared with the middle, the middle is much more boring.
Vidalgard Jong, against Fletcher Gacarick, if both sides focus on offense, then these four people may be able to spark some sparks, but if these four people focus on defense, it would be a bit ugly, just four scoundrels, one messing around, and then no one can take advantage of anyone.
The key to the game was finally back to the two, David Silva and Rooney.
David Silva is the core of Manchester City's organization, and the English Golden Boys who cruised behind Berbatov returned to the midfield to serve more often.
These two people are both the key objects of care for both sides, but at the moment, these two people are undoubtedly the most likely to become breakers. Because the two have the most chances of receiving the ball and the largest activity space. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
