Chapter 194 Alan Haddock Award
“gooooal!”
“gooooooooooal!”
“gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
"2:0, Dong scored, Manchester United scored again! Their League Cup championship is almost done."
"What should Liverpool do? They are already behind two goals."
"Oh God, the two of them went again and joined Rooney..."
In the 76th minute, Dong Fangzhuo rewritten the score to 2:0. In such a final, if you lead by two goals, it is difficult for the plot to reverse again.
"Dong's ball fully reflects his excellent running awareness. Generally, strikers don't run like this, but he just runs out of the opportunity."
"Hepia must have forgotten his existence at that time."
“…”
Manchester United dealt with Liverpool with its tenacious fighting spirit to this point, and then launched a wave of attacks, completely kicking Liverpool into the abyss of death.
At Wembley Stadium, half is a sea of joy and half a hell of pain. Manchester United fans and Liverpool fans form two completely different pictures.
The joyful and encouraging Manchester United fans have begun to celebrate. Some fans have hung up banners of League Cup championships in the fan seat like magic, with the name of Manchester United embroidered on them...
Two years ago, Liverpool fans did this in front of them, when Manchester United won the runner-up.
Now, it's their turn to mock Liverpool fans!
Manchester United will win in ten minutes!
Ferguson finally started to change players. He boldly allowed these players to play on the court for so long and finally won the championship.
In fact, he can't change anything. After all, there is only one substitution quota, and the two previous places were passively given to Giggs and Keane. He left this place to Ronaldo, and Philip Neville replaced Ronaldo on the field.
Ronaldo got warm applause from Manchester United fans, but the game continued. The next game was even more challenging, as Liverpool must launch the fiercest attack to try to regain their lost position.
But there are too many lost positions, how can they catch them back?
"Dong should be replaced and let Dong enjoy cheering!"
"No, he should probably stay on the court, because Manchester United does not have a fourth captain! He is the spiritual pillar of the team!"
Linkel's words were a bit contradictory, but he did guess Ferguson's thoughts. Anyone could do it, but Dong Fangzhuo had to stay on the court.
Neville came up and strengthened Manchester United's midfield defense. Liverpool wanted to play two goals in a row, which was a bit of a dream. Manchester United players were not rookies and could not collapse at the last moment. Everyone thought they would get something at the end of the game, so they would only leave the defeat to the Liverpool people.
Time is consumed every minute and second, Liverpool is getting farther and farther away from the championship, and the ball keeps flying into Manchester United's penalty area and flies out again and again. Dong Fangzhuo still rushed towards each ball flying out desperately. No matter whether there is a chance or not, he will try to drive Liverpool's defense.
Carragher, who was originally following Dong Fangzhuo, couldn't help but "abandon" the task given to him by Benitez. He had already taken the initiative to step forward, leaving only Hypia staring at Dong Fangzhuo in the backcourt.
But this is not a battle situation that can be changed by one person. Although Dong Fangzhuo's threat has become smaller, Manchester United's midfield and backcourt has become more stable, because at this time all Manchester United players are focused on defense.
The game entered stoppage time and the fan seat became even more lively.
Some unstable Liverpool fans can't stand the failure and have begun to leave. They are cursing and not all fans are so KOP and will accompany the team to the end. You will never walk alone. It's not a fairy tale, but you must also accept reality...
"Fake Benitez, take your team to hell."
"Fark Manchester United."
"Farke Chinese."
Countless abuse...

At that moment, Carragher and Hypia really wanted to rush to Dong Fangzhuo and beat him up...
"The game is over! Manchester United became the champion of the 2004-05 English League Cup!"
"This is their first championship honor this season."
The moment the whistle sounded, Manchester United coaching staff and players on the bench rushed into the stadium...
All Manchester United players on the court hugged each other. At this moment, the air at Wembley Stadium was so hot that it only belonged to the red Manchester United.
I don’t know why, but this year’s League Cup seems particularly exciting.
In the past, the team really didn't catch a cold about this trophy. In addition to the league championship, Manchester United cared more about the FA Cup, but they were not excited this time when they won the FA Cup last year.
This can be seen from the time Keane limped and Giggs walked onto the field, with happy smiles on their faces.
In fact, it is the second time that Manchester United has won this honor since its establishment. In the long history of the League Cup, Manchester United won the championship for the first time until 1992. They won the runner-up many times. The previous year lost to their old rival Liverpool and won the runner-up.
"Manchester United captain, China Dong won the Alan Hadak Award. He became the best player in this game, and deserved it!"
The League Cup has been awarded the final best player award since 1990, named after the English Football League secretary Alan Hadak, who founded the League Cup, and is called the "Alan Hadak Award".
Dong Fangzhuo was not interested in this award. His eyes were staring at the glittering League Cup trophy not far away, which was even more attractive.
The captain's armband was still wrapped around his left arm. He was very excited to think that he would raise the trophy in his hand for a while. He felt embarrassed when he talked about it. He had really won the prize in the domestic youth championships before, but after he became an adult team, he had never won a single championship medal. The only closest thing to the championship was Manchester United's double championship in 2008. However, because he did not play enough, he did not even have the chance to wear medals, and he was often ridiculed by Chinese fans.
According to the FA, only those who play 10 or more times in the club's league this season are eligible to win the championship medal. In the Champions League, Dong Fangzhuo did not even make the roster, so naturally there was no championship medal.
But now!
Dong Fangzhuo wore the captain's armband, lowered his head and kissed the trophy lightly, then raised it high above his head and shouted:
“We are the champions!”
All the pain of that year was instantly wiped out. He finally truly became the winner of life.
This will definitely not be the last time!
A few tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes, sour and sweet.
No one knew that he had been waiting for a champion that really belonged to him for 14 years.
Then, the championship trophy was snatched away by Ronaldo and the others...
"Dong, why do you calm down so quickly?"
Beside Dong Fangzhuo, the old captain Keane saw it inexplicably. He just saw Dong Fangzhuo as excited as a child who got candy, but now he is so indifferent?
Chapter completed!
