Chapter 89 Settled

Lin Sen didn't know if the ball was scored, the distance was farther than him, and his eyes were definitely not as good as him, and Ferguson was even more unlikely to know.

However, this did not prevent Ferguson from raising his arms high at the first time.

Just because Manchester United player Rooney, who was closest to the goal, raised his arms high.

This is experience.

At this time, it doesn't matter whether the ball has really been scored. What is important is to make the referee think that the ball has really been scored.

The ball was kicked out of the sideline, and the referee Weber only temporarily suspended the game. The first time he did not make the penalty effective. Manchester United players immediately surrounded him. Manchester United's reaction finally put some pressure on Weber. While using gestures to signal Manchester United's players to retreat, he ran quickly towards the sideline. This is actually a compromise, because if he thinks the goal is effective, then his first gesture should be directed to the center circle, rather than suspending the game.

However, after a brief exchange, Weber's hand did not point to the center circle as Manchester United players wanted, but to the sideline.

No goals!

The furious Rooney immediately wanted to rush towards Webber again, but at this time, Scholes grabbed him again.

If it were just now, Manchester United might have changed Weber's penalty, but now, everything is in vain and will waste Manchester United's little time left.

The game resumes.

But Manchester United on the court needs to seize the last time to temporarily stop the matter. Ferguson on the sidelines was not so kind. He roared at the referee on the sidelines. Seeing that the situation was wrong, the fourth official quickly came to persuade him. Yes. Just persuading. Ferguson's identity and status really made him unable to use a "warning" tone.

The old Sir, who had a complaint, immediately turned on his hair dryer, especially when the linebacker who had just communicated with Weber came over, he even argued directly with the linebacker. Weber, who had long noticed the situation on the sideline, took advantage of Manchester City to break the ball out of the sideline again. He paused the game again and ran over to verbally warn Ferguson. But if Ferguson could settle it so easily, he would not be Ferguson.

Seeing Ferguson and Weber starting to have a passionate voice on the sidelines, Lin Sen, who was on the side, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the controversy arose, Lin Sen once thought that the game was about to start again, not because he thought the ball had really made it. But because he really didn't have much confidence in referee Weber.

The 38-year-old bald referee Weber has another identity as a sheriff in South Yorkshire, England, because he is also called a police referee. However, for Premier League fans, his other nickname is probably more concerned, that is, Manchester United's royal referee. Although this nickname is mostly out of jokes, it is obvious that there is no wind and no waves. Lin Sen is really afraid that Weber is really a fan of Manchester United. After all, no one has stipulated that the referee cannot be a fan of which team.

At the moment, Weber ignored Manchester United's appeal, which forced Lin Sen to look up to the bald referee, because obviously Weber has no reason to favor Manchester City. Since he made such a penalty, it is probably because he himself believes that the possibility of not being scored is greater, and being able to insist on his own judgment and not interfere with external factors is not something that any referee can do.

But did the ball go in?

Andy Gray and Martin Taylor stared at the slow motion on the screen for a long time, hoping to stuff his eyes into the screen. Even the live broadcast camera was played several times in a row, from all angles, but the conclusion was still: I don’t know. Because it seemed that the ball fell just the inside of the goal line, as for whether it was crossing the goal line as a whole. It was really a different story.

England seems to always have a special fate with the goal line. The most famous one is the England-German final in the 1966 World Cup. England also scored a similar goal at that time, but the controversy was even greater at that time, because the Swedish referee at that time had already signaled the German team to open the goal, and then discussed with the lineman and signaled that England's goal was valid. England finally defeated Germany four-two and won the only World Cup in history. But to this day, this unsolved case is still a unsolved case. Of course, the England team is likely to return this possible "debt" to the German team this summer...

After such a struggle, the few games left soon arrived at stoppage time.

The stoppage time is five minutes.

Lin Sen had nothing to say about this. He had only made one substitution before, and soon made the last two substitutions: Bale replaced Royce and Wright replaced Robben.

Ferguson, who was verbally warned by Weber, stood on the sidelines without expression. At this time, he had no time to consider Bale's threat. If Manchester United cannot score in these last few minutes, there is no difference between losing one or two goals.

The game time is getting less and less, and Manchester United's offensive method is getting easier and easier. He quickly passes through the midfield with the ball, and then puts his hopes on the flashes of the frontcourt players and the favor of God. At this time, all offensive organizations are nonsense. Manchester City has already contracted across the board at this time, and the rest of the game is now in seconds. Even the most arrogant offensive player is still put down his figure and gets angry with the opponent's bayonet.

"Scholes handed the ball to Rooney, and Rooney shot... It was too hard, and the ball was blocked by Manchester City players."

"Manchester United made a comeback, this may be their last offensive opportunity. The stoppage time is coming, oh no... Vidal cut off Fletcher's pass, and now, they even lost their last offensive opportunity..."

"Weber blew the whistle to the end of the game! One to zero, with Vidal's goal, Manchester City finally defeated Manchester United and won the League Cup championship this season! Manchester City finally ended their embarrassing history of not having a championship for 33 years! Although there was a controversial scene in the game, it is undeniable that Manchester City played very well in this game. Let us congratulate Manchester City! Let us congratulate Lin, in his first season in coaching Manchester City, he engraved his name into Manchester City's history!"

...

The moment the referee blew the whistle, a burst of applause from Wembley Stadium that seemed to be brewing, and the applause swept over the field.

Gary Cook and Mubarak in the stands stood up at the same time, raising their arms high. What stood up at the same time was the entire East stand at Wembley Stadium. All Manchester City fans were rippling in the stands like a tide, while waving everything in their hands that could dance...

Really won the championship!

I don’t know if it was because of the infection of Manchester City fans around me or because of other factors. Boya seemed to be a little happy. While applauding, she turned her eyes to the court again.

After the whistle sounded, most of the Manchester City coaching and benches rushed into the field to celebrate with the players, except for the two, Tang Hua and Dina. The former was because of their personality and the latter was because of their gender. Lin Sen once thought he would be very excited, just like he won the Copa del Rey last season, but after the whistle sounded, he found that he was unexpectedly calm. He just clapped and shook hands and hugged the people around him one by one.

This is Linsen's second title after last season's Cup of del Rey.

Last time, he defeated the arrogant Barcelona. This time, he defeated his city rival Manchester United.

Although the value of the two cup championships is not too high, both finals are very important.

Ferguson, who seemed to be furious a few minutes ago, had recovered his calm at this time, and even after the game ended. He also stopped Rooney from continuing to trouble referee Weber. He came over and shook hands politely with Lin Sen, and then walked towards his players without saying a word. Every time he passed by a Manchester United player, he would stretch out his hand to pat the opponent's shoulder to show comfort...

Lin Sen, who had been watching Ferguson from the corner of his eyes, didn't know what Ferguson would say to his players at this time, but obviously, the battle between Manchester United and Manchester City would not end here.

The podium was quickly built in the center of the stadium, and during this period, Manchester City players went to the east stand of the stadium to thank their supporters. As for Lin Sen, he was surrounded by reporters carrying various long guns and short cannons.

"The game was tough, I'm glad our players took the pressure. The championship was the best reward for their performance in this game. Thirty-three years without a championship? For us, it was not pressure, but motivation. Now, it's all history. That goal? The game has ended, and it's meaningless to talk about this now..."

Lin Sen was very calm.

This can be heard from his speech that all the reporters were a little surprised. Although the League Cup is not the most important trophy, it is an honor after all. Just as they asked just now, Manchester City has not won any championship in many years, how can you be so calm? At this time, they did not want to get the second time, how could it be the same as the first time? Without the passion for the first time, the dust has settled, this is just a League Cup after all.

At the subsequent award ceremony, when Manchester United players climbed the famous 107 ladder to the Royal Box, Manchester United fans still gave their applause to their team. For them, losing to Manchester City was a shame, and losing to Manchester City in the final was even more shameful, but this was still just a League Cup. They still gave enough trust and understanding to this team that brought them countless joy last season.

Following Manchester United is Manchester City, which is different from Manchester United players generally bow their heads and speaks. The excited Manchester City players kept reaching out and interacting with the fans on both sides. When all Manchester City players came to the podium and when Manchester City captain Dunn held up the exquisite trophy under the banner printed with the "carlingcup", the radio of the stadium rang out at the same time.

09/10 England League Cup champion, Manchester City.

A burst of warm applause suddenly erupted from the entire Wembley Stadium, and the ribbons kept floating down from the air, and the trophy was also passed by Manchester City players. When Lin Sen, wearing a Manchester City scarf, appeared in the stands and took over the League Cup trophy from the players, the atmosphere came to the highest level.

Old Miller in the stands was almost filled with tears.

Thirty-three years.

As an old fan who personally witnessed the last Manchester City championship, who would have thought that for the time being, they had waited for thirty-three years for the next moment. Thirty-three years have turned him from a passionate young fan to an old fan with silver frost. At one point, he even thought that he might never wait for this moment to come again.
