I am Kaka

Chapter 493 Fighter

"Friends from the audience, welcome to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. The 2006/07 League Cup final will be held here. Arsenal and Chelsea will decide the final championship here."

"This is Chelsea's fourth final this year. They have won the Community Shield, European Super Cup and Club World Cup before. I don't know if this game will be their fourth championship this season. Of course , Arsenal definitely don't want to let them do what they want, because this is the first time the two sides have met since Chelsea broke their record, and it is also because they are so close to the championship for the first time in two or three years!"

"This season's Premier League competition is very strong. Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday and other teams are all very strong. In the era of the Seven Sisters of Serie A, this season's Premier League has more highlights, but Chelsea has risen strongly and surpassed the dust. For other teams except Manchester United, the league championship is becoming more and more popular. The farther away, so the European Championship, the League Cup and the FA Cup have become the events they must win, which will undoubtedly make this year's League Cup more intense."

Although the weight of the League Cup is insufficient, due to the accumulation of many reasons, the attention of this final has skyrocketed, attracting the attention of many media around the world.

"This game is the sixth time for both sides to participate in the League Cup final, but Chelsea have won three times, Arsenal have only two times, unfortunately, neither of those two times has anything to do with Wenger, so if Arsenal wins this time, That professor will win the first League Cup trophy in his life.

This is also the second time the two sides have met in the finals of various competitions. The first time was on May 4, 2002, when Chelsea lost 0-2 to Arsenal in the FA Cup final. Scoring a goal helped the Reds beat the Blues, so it was also a battle of revenge for Chelsea, and the venue of that final happened to be the Millennium Stadium.

Let's take a look at the starting rosters of both sides first.

Arsenal lost 0-1 away to Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League in the middle of the week. Wenger rotated as many as 8 people, Henry was hidden, Lehmann was suspended and was replaced by Almunia, Hoyt, Trau Young players such as Ray, Diaby, Denilson and Theo Walcott started, and Baptista and Aliadiere partnered up front.

Goalkeeper: 24-Almunia;

Defenders: 31-Hoyt, 5-Kolo Toure, 6-Senderos, 45-Traore;

Midfielder: 2-Diaby, 4-Cesc Fabregas, 15-De Nilson, 32-Walcott;

Forward: 9-Baptista, 30-Aliadiere (81', 25-Adebayor)

The worst news for Arsenal fans is the absence of Henry. In the last league matchup, Henry broke the gate of Chelsea. The king of guns is also the only player who can let Cech pick up the ball from his own goal this season. One of the forwards, the other is Kaka and Baptista playing on the same field, because they have been teammates since the Sao Paulo youth team. At that time, they must have never imagined that they would represent different teams in the league in distant England many years later. We met in the final of the cup..."

"Chelsea also played a 4-4-2.

Goalkeeper: Petr Cech;

Defenders: Maicon, Lucio, Terry, Zambrotta;

Midfielders: Makelele, Bale, Lampard, Royce;

Forwards: Pato, Shevchenko.

Kaka and Torres, who played in the Champions League and Premier League consecutively, sat on the bench, and Lampard and Shevchenko appeared in the starting lineup.

Makelele, Bale, Royce, and Pato are all Chelsea's main players in the League Cup. The major giants don't pay much attention to such a cup as the League Cup. Generally speaking, they will send a substitute lineup to play. After entering the semi-finals and finals, the main players come up. This is cruel to the substitute players, but this is professional football. Fortunately, Ancelotti gave Bell, Royce and others the opportunity to participate in the finals. I also hope that they will seize this opportunity and give themselves a satisfactory result.

In addition, because of Bell's relationship, many people on the scene are on Chelsea's side, which is undoubtedly good news for the Blues. "

Henry and Kaka were not on the field. Many people's interest in this game was halved immediately. Many people even turned the channel as soon as they saw the main lineup, and they were going to come back in the second half to see if Kaka played.

However, the atmosphere at the scene will not appear dull because of Kaka's absence.

Young Theo Walcott and Bale were particularly active.

Only 1 minute into the game, Zambrotta made a direct pass from the left. Bale received the ball and passed a cross in the penalty area. Essien who followed up was about to hit the goal, but was tackled by Diaby, but the referee Willie did nothing. express.

In the 2nd minute, Lampard made a direct pass, and both Pato and Shevchenko were offside.

Chelsea began aggressively, but Arsenal then continued to press. In the 6th minute, Diaby passed the ball to Walcott with the heel on the right side of the penalty area. He firmly confiscated it.

In the 8th minute, Baptista made a cross from the left side of the penalty area after dodging the two. Carvalho grabbed a tackle 7 yards ahead of Aliadiere to clear the siege.

In the 9th minute, Shevchenko made a pass from the left, and Lampard outflanked the left rib 15 yards from the penalty area and missed the ball a little slower.

In the 10th minute, Diaby passed the ball from the left, Aliadiere tricked Carvalho and made a pass, the ball hit Terry and deflected, Cech confiscated it.

In the 11th minute, Aliadiere passed the ball, and Baptista volleyed from 24 yards in the middle. The ball passed between Terry's legs and ran to the upper left corner of the gate. Petr Cech flew to save the ball.

Arsenal took the lead in the 12th minute. Fabregas took a left corner kick and was cleared. Walcott recovered the ball and passed it to Diaby. After avoiding Lampard's steal and Royce's tackle, the player broke into the left rib of the penalty area and broke through the gate guarded by Petr Cech.

This is the 17-year-old's first goal for Arsenal, and his excitement can be imagined.

Bale was stimulated to play more aggressively and it paid off in the 20th minute of the game.

It was a left-footed pass from Lampard in the middle. Bell, who successfully reversed offside, calmly pushed and scored from 10 yards to the left of the penalty area.

The game became more and more intense, and the atmosphere was so tense that it was breathless, but until the end of the first half, the score of 1-1 did not change in any way.

The two sides drew 1-1 in the first half. Chelsea had 6 shots and Arsenal 8 shots. The pass success rate was around 87%, and there was a yellow card.

In the 57th minute, a touching scene happened.

Royce took a corner kick on the right, and Terry made a brave header from 6 yards in front of the goal, but was kicked by Diaby on the left cheek.

Chelsea and England double captain immediately passed out, unconscious.

Seeing that Love will be injured, the England coach McLaren in the stands hastily left people's sight, it should be to inquire about Terry's injury.

Ancelotti was naturally furious, while Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich was in a daze in the box.

Players on both sides forgot about the game.

Not only Shevchenko and other Chelsea players anxiously greeted the team doctor on the sidelines, Fabregas and other Arsenal players also waved their arms anxiously to call the doctor to enter the field.

At this moment, treating the comatose Terry is everyone's idea.

The first to rush to the scene of the incident was the Arsenal team doctor.

At this time, the rivalry between the teams has long been forgotten.

"Terry hasn't woken up yet! He's in a dangerous condition! God bless, hope he's ok.

Not long before Terry was injured, Arsenal's team doctors had just dealt with an injury and were walking along the sideline to the bench outside the field, so they were relatively close to the place where Terry fell to the ground, so they went to the scene first and were treating Terry. The preliminary diagnosis and treatment were carried out here, let's take a look at the replay first.

Diaby didn't foul the ball. It can only be said that Terry was really brave. He almost used his face to block other people's shots! This is the captain of Chelsea! This is the Iron Blood team soul of the Blue Army!

Well, Chelsea's doctors finally came up and they put Terry on an oxygen mask and a neck brace.

Now in the footage are Terry's wife and children..."

His wife held the child in her right hand, and tightly covered her mouth with her left hand, with tears in the corners of her eyes.

After several minutes of emergency treatment, Terry was fixed on a stretcher and carried out with oxygen, and the fans applauded the fighter.

Ancelotti made an emergency substitution.

Mascherano replaced Terry, Kaka replaced the underperforming Reus.

Game start.
