Chapter 114
After the game, the north bank of the Thames turned into a blue ocean, and the floats circled the entire London. Everywhere they went, all the fans blushed and roared the same slogan: "We are the champions!"
At the end of the ceremony, following Along with the fireworks, there was also the rising ambition of all the players and fans at the scene: four crowns!
The slogan "Chelsea's Four Crowns" has become popular throughout England in just one day. After winning the English League Cup, the Premier League and the Champions League, as long as Chelsea wins the FA Cup opponent Portsmouth, Then they can create a miracle and achieve four crowns!
As soon as the slogan came out, the ratings of the FA Cup final, which had already attracted much attention from the audience, once again hit a new high on the opening day. The directors focused their cameras on Endritt, laughing at the rising ratings until their teeth were exposed. .
Chelsea's players are very relaxed. Although coach Mourinho emphasized before the game that he should not relax with his last breath, facing an opponent like Portsmouth, Chelsea players who have already held three championships are very relaxed. It's hard not to feel a sense of complacency.
Not to mention the Chelsea fans who were extremely passionate before the game even started. When the football is at the feet of Chelsea players, whether it is a normal pass or catch or an ordinary dribbling, Chelsea fans can be shocked. The cheers from the sky, not to mention the young players, even the experienced Lampard was blushing by the cheers of the fans.
In order to reciprocate the enthusiasm of the fans, the Chelsea players on the court performed tricks one by one, with endless fancy dribblings, and the voices of the fans at the scene became even more excited.
"The atmosphere at the scene is very good. This is the most lively FA Cup final I have ever commented on. The fans at the scene are very enthusiastic and the players are very cooperative."
"Yes, Chelsea fans are very gentlemen, even though They didn't boo even when facing the opponent players. "
The scene became a sea of joy, but the Portsmouth players on the field only felt that they were noisy.
Before the game, they did not have any hope for this game because their opponent was Chelsea, who had already won the Triple Crown and had goalkeeper Endrit. What should they do to win this game? ?
Neither the head coach nor the players of Portsmouth could find this answer, but at this moment, in this kind of game that is not expected by everyone, the players of Portsmouth are looking at the Chelsea players on the opposite side getting more and more fancy. The Chelsea players, who didn't take them seriously at all, found an answer for themselves: don't steam the steamed buns to save your breath!
In the 20th minute after the opening of the first half, Drogba scored with a diving header. The ball hit the crossbar of Portsmouth's goal. For the first time, the fans in the stands felt a little regretful. After all, this was Chelsea's fifth time. Rushing through the door - but it's not a big problem, the advantage is mine!
Three minutes later, Chelsea once again attacked the Portsmouth goal, but the curve ball was collected by the Portsmouth goalkeeper as soon as it flew to the goal.
The ball came to Portsmouth, and the boys tried their best to give their opponents some color, but when they brought the ball to the Chelsea half, the ball was directly intercepted by Essien, who passed the ball directly. Gave it to Lampard.
Chelsea launched an attack again, and the cheers that had just disappeared resounded in the stands.
Mourinho stood on the sidelines with his arms folded, watching the football go wide, then snorted after it went directly out of bounds. He turned his head and looked at Endrit, and found that the latter was looking straight ahead attentively without losing sight, and then he forced a smile.
In the 30th minute, the football plunged into the arms of the Portsmouth goalkeeper. The latter did not choose to throw the ball with his hands this time. Instead, he put the football on the lawn and kicked it out. The football flew directly to the half-court. The Portsmouth forward aimed at the football, stopped the ball with his chest and immediately passed the ball back to his teammate, who shot a long shot directly towards the Chelsea goal.
Endrit took off easily and took off the football and held it in his arms. After his feet landed, his eyes scanned the four defenders in front of him and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Even if he has saved the football hundreds of times, every save is a new beginning for Ritter, and he will be happy for every save he makes!"
the director shot immediately. When it came to Endrit's face, the commentators looked at the smile on Endrit's face and turned it into a smile without thinking, but in fact Endrit was gloating about his misfortune.
Until the referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, Portsmouth failed to send the football to their Chelsea goal. But similarly, Chelsea's many attacks on Portsmouth's goal failed to open Portsmouth's goal.
In the locker room,
Mourinho held the rolled-up newspapers in his hands and slapped the players on the court one by one except Endrit.
"Do you want me to buy you some clothes from Shakespeare's era? Huh?"
"No?!"
"I thought you knew this was a game! Not a performance!"
"The fans cheered so loudly that it went to your head. Really? If you lose this game, do you think you will still be surrounded by cheers? "
At this moment, as if Coach Ferguson was possessed, Mourinho waited for a whole group of people to train. , it didn’t stop until the staff came and knocked on the door to remind them that the second half of the game was about to begin.
Chelsea's players returned to the court in disgrace, and they all showed the spirit of this being the last game of their careers and bombarded Portsmouth's goal. No player dared to perform any more fancy kicks. In the 20th minute after the start of the second half, Drogba finally sent the football into the goal with a long shot.
Chelsea 1:0 Portsmouth, the fans in the stands were very excited, and the Chelsea players on the field also breathed a sigh of relief. After celebrating, they set up a bus directly in front of the goal after the kick-off, as if to make it 1:0. The score is implemented to the end.
The Portsmouth fans booed in unison, but the sound was quickly drowned out by the Chelsea fans.
"A very wise choice," Chelsea's four-time champion seemed to be on the way, and the commentators did not throw cold water at all. "Watch these last twenty-five minutes. In every last minute, Chelsea is creating its own team history!
" In the first half, I felt that I had a chance to steal the home. In the second half, the Portsmouth players looked at the bus opposite and felt very depressed: No, are you only half-pretending these days? Keep pretending! Why are you so obscene all of a sudden?
Although Chelsea rarely set up buses in the second half of the season, this is the traditional skill of their coach after all. Portsmouth's players were stunned and failed to find a scoring opportunity, and the ball was hit before Endritt could even get it. The defender stopped.
"There are only three minutes left before the end of the game. Portsmouth still failed to seize the opportunity. The long-range shot just now was blocked. Chelsea probably will not give the ball away again."
"Can I already advance? Congratulations to Chelsea for becoming the four-time champion! This is simply a miracle. I never thought that Chelsea would achieve such good results this season. It’s like a dream.”
“Actually, I have thought about it, after all, Chelsea has Ritter. The first time I commented on Ritter's game, I knew that he was the one who created miracles. However, I always thought that this year's Champions League or Premier League championship would be decided by a penalty shootout. With Ritter here, Chelsea would definitely be able to do it. Victory through a penalty shootout, but I was wrong, Chelsea didn't even play overtime this season!"
"Dududu..."
"The game is over! Congratulations to Chelsea for their 1:0 victory over Portsmouth. , became this year’s FA Cup champion and crowned the four-time champion!”
…
["Is Ritter the best goalkeeper in the world? Sorry, the question you asked seems to be asking whether a goalkeeper is needed to play football." - Cristiano Ronaldo
"I am here just for him. When he When he asked me if I wanted to come, I agreed without any hesitation. I am already looking forward to the scene when we play together next season." - Modric
"He promised me to play together in the next life, and I hope he can. Keep your promise." - Gerrard
"The most regretful thing in my life is not going to the Luzhniki Stadium that day. I am strong and not afraid of the rain at all." - Crouch.
"Four-time champion, he deserves it. I know he is the best goalkeeper I have ever seen. I believe we will win the fifth championship in his career together this summer." - Capello.
"He is not for sale to Chelsea. Chelsea can make mistakes for anyone but him." - Roman Abramovich
"He deserves it." - José Mourinho "
The Times": The goalkeeper of the new century Gold content - Endrit never plays overtime! ]
"What these people said is not good, why did they just put it on the headlines?" Lampard shook the newspaper in his hand and said with some displeasure: "What I said in the interview today will definitely make the headlines tomorrow! "
What did you say?" Endrit raised his hand to fan himself, and asked, "When did you introduce the interview?"
"You came here for training this morning ?" When Coach Capello asked him to leave,” Lampard recounted his speech excitedly, “I told the reporter, if you love watching football, but you don’t love Endrit, then there must be something wrong with you. Reflect on why you don’t love Endrit, is it because you didn’t work hard enough?”
Endrit was silent for a moment and covered his face in confusion.
"Why are you covering your face?" Lampard raised his arm and bumped into Endritt, "Are you shy?"
"Aren't you afraid of being beaten when you say this?"
"Why did I get beaten when I told the truth?"
Lampard's tone was very serious, not joking at all. Endrit opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. He thought to himself that if the reporter released this interview tomorrow and Lampard was scolded, he would stand up and say that the two of them made a bet and it was he who asked Lampard to say so.
Most players are busy during this year's summer break. Although England players don't have to go to the Olympics, they have the European Cup this year. When we reached the top 16 in the qualifying round, we relied on Endrit to turn the tide. Now we are entering the main draw and we will not let Endrit go. The morning after the game against Portsmouth, coach Capello The phone call came.
"This is definitely my most unforgettable season."
It's too busy. Not long after the European Cup, the new season is coming. They certainly can't win the four crowns last season but not win a championship in the new season, so There can be no relaxation, he must continue to train and improve himself.
The new season has not yet ended, and the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa will be drawn. By then, it is estimated that, no, he will definitely represent the national team in the qualifiers. The qualifiers will be played from 2008 to 2009. He is not worried about the England team not qualifying because he remembers that historically the England team qualified first in the group.
After this result came out, the people of England were walking with joy. They had never felt for a moment that their Three Lions were so close to winning the World Cup. All the media had already started setting off firecrackers to celebrate, but as a result, the Three Lions were in trouble. Big one: qualify first in the group and stop in the top 16.
Obviously they were still in the quarterfinals during the 2006 World Cup in Germany - in short, both the players and coaches were scolded that year.
"Alas..."
Thinking of this, Endrit couldn't help but sigh deeply: In the next few years, it seems that he will not be able to take any time off at all!
