Messi was so scared that he cried when he maxed out his header talent at the start of the game

Chapter 587

On May 19, the 2006-07 FA Cup final day arrived, a side dish before the Champions League final.

The venue was Wembley Stadium, which was demolished and rebuilt in 2000 and completed at the beginning of this year.

In the last century, Wembley Stadium hosted the Olympic Games, the World Cup final, the European Championship final, several FA Cup finals and several Champions League finals.

Wembley Stadium has witnessed the birth of countless legends.

In the 1966 World Cup, it also witnessed the supreme moment of England's men's football team winning the championship.

It is an absolute holy place in the hearts of English fans.

And this FA Cup final will also be the first important championship event after the renovation and reconstruction of Wembley Stadium.

At two o'clock in the afternoon.

The bus carrying Manchester City players arrived at the parking lot on time, and Guardiola went to the pre-match press conference.

He will be interviewed together with Watford head coach Boothroyd.

Guardiola, who just finished his first England coaching debut after taking office, looked very relaxed.

On the contrary, Boothroyd, a veteran coach in England, could not hide his sorrow in his eyes.

The two teams had just met in the 37th round of the Premier League not long ago.

It was also in that game that Watford helped Manchester City to lock in the league championship one round ahead of schedule.

And today.

Watford is likely to help Manchester City win the FA Cup this year and achieve the achievement of two consecutive championships.

This is not just a background board.

It is a historical background board that can be nailed to the pillar of shame of English football.

The Premier League media at the scene did not let go of the poor Watford coach.

"Mr. Boothroyd, how confident do you think the team is today to defeat Manchester City and win the FA Cup?"

How much?

Boothroyd's honest answer is less than 20%.

But in front of the camera, the poor coach could only bite the bullet and answer.

"We have had experience playing against Manchester City recently. They are very strong, but we will also make corresponding adjustments in this game. I think we have a chance to beat them."

The reporter who asked the question immediately pointed the microphone at the calm Guardiola on the side.

"Mr. Guardiola, what do you think?"

"Well... let's wait and see."

Guardiola had just arrived in the Premier League and did not want to have a face-to-face fight with the opponent's head coach, so he answered the question evasively.

The pre-match press conference ended uneventfully.

But the reporters knew very well.

Manchester City will definitely not let this opportunity to achieve two consecutive championships slip away.

Watford, which has been confirmed to be relegated, will also seize this last opportunity to prove itself.

Today.

It is bound to be a game full of gunpowder.

..........................................................

At three o'clock in the afternoon.

At Wembley Stadium, amid the cheers and shouts of 90,000 fans on the scene, the appearance ceremony of the two teams is in progress.

"Superbia in Proelio!!"

"Let'go, Watford!!"

"Superbia in Proelio!!"

"Let'go, Watford!!"

Blue Moon fans and Hornets fans sat in the north and south stands of the stadium respectively, competing with each other in decibels.

Most of the fans in the east and west stands were neutral fans, and many celebrities came to join in the fun.

Among them were many well-known faces in England.

England's national treasure actor Martin Freeman, 007 actor Daniel Craig, Spanish actress Penelope Cruz, singer Lianna Lewis...

The camera kept sliding across the faces of celebrities on the court and appeared on the big screen.

Fans of both sides also generously cheered for these stars who were present.

Finally, the camera stopped on a face that made all the fans crazy.

In the ESPN live broadcast room, Zhan Jun and Wang Tao, who were commentating, couldn't help but make fun of it.

"Hey! David Beckham!!"

"Beckham is here to watch the FA Cup final too, haha!"

"Since Beckham left the Premier League in 2003 and joined Real Madrid."

"This is the first time I've seen Beckham in the final of the English Championship."

"Tao'er, who do you think Beckham is supporting today?"

"Teacher Zhan Jun, it's hard to say. According to common sense, Beckham, who came from Manchester United, definitely doesn't support Manchester City."

"But I heard that Beckham is leaving Real Madrid this summer."

"Who knows?. "

"Manchester City may be Beckham's next stop."

"Haha, Taoer."

"Your guess is very bold, but it is not impossible!"

"Beckham will definitely not be able to return to Manchester United."

"Joining Manchester City, they can still compete for the Champions League. Manchester City will definitely need to add more substitutes in the midfield this summer."

"In fact, Mr. Zhan Jun, it's very simple to see who Beckham supports. Just wait and see if Beckham will cheer when Manchester City scores a goal."

"Hahaha, Taoer, you are still smart! ”

The comments in the live broadcast room were also aroused by the two commentators.

-【Hahaha, what Brother Taoer said makes sense!】

-【But I think it’s okay for Beckham to join Manchester City. He is such a proud person. He can’t return to Manchester United, and it’s impossible for him to join the enemy Manchester City.】

-【Who said that? When he left Manchester United, he had such a bad relationship with the old Jazz. Joining Manchester City is not just to anger Ferguson, but also to have a chance to complete revenge, killing two birds with one stone.】

-【It’s hard to say, it’s really hard to say.】

.........................................................................

In this era, no matter where David Beckham appears, he is an absolute hot topic.

However, as the appearance ceremony on the court ended.

Everyone’s attention has returned to this FA Cup final.

“The players on both sides are in position!”

“The referee raised his hand to look at the watch!”

“The 2006-07 English FA Cup final is about to begin. Let’s introduce the two warring parties to the fans in front of the TV! ”

“Blue Moon Manchester City vs. Hornet Watford!”

“Beep! !”

“With the referee’s whistle, the game officially begins!”

“Manchester City has the ball!”

“Here I’ll also introduce the starting lineups of both sides!”

“Wearing yellow, Hornet, Watford.”

“Goalkeeper: Foster!”

“Defenders: Stuart, Delmet, Shittu, Doyle!”

“Midfield: Bangura, Mahon, Bouaza, Smith!”

“Double strikers: Henderson, Francis!”

“Watford is playing 4-4-2, this lineup…”

“Goal!”

“Goal!”

“Oh my God!”

“Less than 10 seconds into the game, Manchester City scored a goal!”

“Too fast!!” ”

“I believe many fans are still in a state of confusion like me. In the blink of an eye, the football was sent into the goal of Watford by Manchester City!”

“This goal!”

“Let’s watch the replay together!!”

At this moment.

At Wembley Stadium, tens of thousands of Blue Moon fans sitting in the south stand burst into a volcanic eruption.

Manchester City players.

Su Fei rushed to the corner area from all directions of the stadium.

On the other side.

The Hornets fans in the north stand and the Hornets players on the field were dumbfounded.
