Football: Guards with knives, shovel Ronaldo at the beginning

After a long wait, the new Wembley Stadium finally ushered in opening hours.

There are no World Cup qualifiers until September, and only the FA Cup warm-up match with England will come here.

Today, the new Wembley Stadium, which could only seat 2 fans, was flooded by a sea of ​​red, and more than 8 fans poured into the home of the England national team.

But in one corner on the west side of the stand, more than 8000 fans from West Yorkshire came to cheer their home team in red and yellow striped jerseys.

Bradford, this is a team from League Two.

His name is very similar to Brentford, but the Little Bee is quite different from his team logo. At this time, the Little Bee is still fighting for the British Championship in the League One. Don't get it wrong.

Even now, the 46 rounds of the League Two matches have ended, and Bradford is only ranked seventh in the League Two. The results of 46 games, 18 wins, 15 draws and 13 losses are not outstanding.

Even the club's most loyal fans did not expect the team to advance in the past two years.

This team nicknamed [Bantam] was founded in 1903, and its predecessor was just a football team.

At present, the most valuable player in the team is defender Andrew Davis, worth 65, which is not even comparable to those Liverpool youth players.

And the valuation of the entire team is only 600 million.

But such a small League Two team has a stadium with 25000 people: [Valley of Glory Stadium].

Over 7000 season ticket owners (real data).

With the support of these diehard fans, they first defeated Notts County, a League One team located in Nottingham, one level above themselves.

Then in the second lap of the game, they once again upset Watford in the British Championship.

Continuous leapfrog defeating opponents has made this team more and more followers, and the fans of each battle are far more than before.

On the third lap, they beat Burton, who is also in the second division, with a penalty kick at their home court, and rushed into the fourth lap of the game.

This time, their opponent is Wigan Athletic in the Premier League.

Bradford relied on solid defense to draw with their opponents 0-0 in regular time, and once again relied on penalty kicks to advance.

So far, this team from the second division has miraculously entered the semi-finals of the League Cup, which is the top 8.

This time, their opponent is the mighty Arsenal!

At this time, the value of the Arsenal team has exceeded 1.9 million pounds, while their opponents only have 520 million pounds.

The gap between the two teams is too great, spanning three league levels, the English club rankings are 64 places apart!

Facing the powerful Arsenal, Bradford, who is not afraid of tigers, scored the first goal, although he was equalized in the 88th minute.

But Arsenal lost the game on penalties.

Even BBC commentator Lawrence sighed after the game: "My words and comments are insignificant in front of them."

In the semi-finals, they eliminated Aston Villa 4-3 in two rounds.

At the end of the game, the crazy fans rushed straight onto the pitch, enjoying their moment.

Even back in Yorkshire, the local fans had already treated them as heroes, and a victory parade of tens of thousands of people emerged in a small town with a population of several 10.

They also became the first English fourth-tier team to reach the League Cup final in 51 years.

Hansen, who scored the winning goal for them, used to be just a shelf clerk, and his income with the team was not even as good as his previous job.

You know, Bradford's average weekly salary is only 747 pounds, and many players can only get a monthly salary of about 2000 pounds.

But they miraculously broke into the final of the English League Cup!

"Well, this is the story of Bradford, a legendary and inspirational story, their spirit is worth learning from."

After listening to Dalglish's narration about Bradford in the locker room, Lindy was equally excited. He stood up and faced his teammates who were still stunned: "They are creating miracles, why aren't we?!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, what the fuck, it makes sense!

"yeah!"

The players were excited by Lindy and stood up one after another, especially those young people who were scheduled to play in this game.

He even tapped on the walls or cabinets of the locker room: "That's right, we are also on the way to create miracles!"

"Victory belongs to Liverpool!"

Looking at the players whose fighting spirit was inspired by Lindy's simple words, Dalglish smiled gratifiedly. This is the cooperation he wanted.

On the bus that came here, no matter what Dalglish said, everyone was always unmotivated about a League Two team.

Many players are worth more than their entire team, not to mention that Liverpool just won the Premier League championship, which is the time to be proud.

Salah, Trippier, Coutinho, and Shaheen who just joined the team, it was the first time they touched the trophy and medal of the Premier League championship. The huge glory added to them made them all a little bit floating.

That's why before the start of the game, Dalglish told about Bradford's legendary experience.

As the two teams slowly stepped into the field, a sea of ​​red caught everyone's eyes.

The biggest stadium they have ever seen is the Emirates Stadium, and the new Wembley, a stadium that symbolizes championships and national glory, is almost the first time for Bradford players to come in.

Lindy could even see the excited expressions of many players looking around.

After exchanging flags with Bradford captain Rich Ravenhill, Lindy heard the other whisper: "Lin, can I swap jerseys with you after the game? My son is your fan."

Lindy was a little taken aback. Is it appropriate for you to say this now?

But seeing the sincere eyes of the other party, Lindy nodded: "Okay, no problem."

"Thank you, but during the game, I won't release water because of it."

Lindy is a little dumbfounded, I don't seem to need you to release the water, do I?

With the whistle of the referee, the League Cup final of the 2012-13 season officially began.

Dalglish's formation in this game is still 433, and Bradford's game video is very unreferenced.

Defense, counterattack, desperate, luck, these four constitute all their tactics.

Especially toughness, but also let Dalglish admire.

However, it was difficult to find a clear tactic, so he simply set up Liverpool's strongest formation directly to respond to changes without change.

His idea is very correct, and it also allows the team to exert its greatest strength.

The game time is 4 minutes.

When Lindy was fighting for a chance ball, he used his body to resist the opponent's midfielder.

Lin Di steadied his horse and didn't move at all, but the other party rolled over like a three-none rider riding a Ducati.

Seeing this opportunity, Lindy quickly advanced the ball to the opponent's penalty area, attracted the defense and then quickly split the side.

This time, Griezmann, who came to the left, directly sent a cross.

Giroud's first point was interfered by two opposing defenders. Lindy's second point in the penalty area flew directly into the Bradford defender and headed the ball into the goal.

1 is better than 0

This made Bradford, who was trying to get the ball and opportunities through desperate physical confrontation, a little confused.

It seems that Liverpool's strength is completely beyond all the teams they have met before.
