Chapter 294 Birth of the League Cup Champion
Sure enough, as soon as the second half started, West Ham stepped up their offensive.
However, just after halftime West Ham United's offense was surrounded by Manchester City's midfielders.
Difficulty.
That's what's on the minds of the West Ham players.
There is no space to pass the ball forward, only to pass the ball back.
However, Manchester City's players are not like West Ham United in the first half. Their defense has been following the returned football, slowly pressing West Ham United's players closer and closer to their penalty area.
In the end, the defense had no choice but to pass the ball back to goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski.
Faced with the defender's helpless pass, the 37-year-old goalkeeper was even more helpless, and could only drive the ball to the frontcourt with a big kick.
But I don't know if the goalkeeper was nervous or because of slippery feet. The football that should have been kicked was not kicked very far by him, but flew directly to the area 30 meters away from the middle.
That position has been firmly controlled by Manchester City.
The ball just flew to Jing Duoan's feet. When encountering this kind of ball that the goalkeeper gave a big gift, Gun Duoan would not be polite. With his chest, he unloaded the soft big ball.
This sudden steal caused confusion in West Ham's defense.
Due to the pursuit all the way just now, West Ham United's defense has been stretched out of lineup.
Therefore, when Gundogan broke the ball, West Ham United's defense in the middle could be said to be wide open.
Gundogan took the ball directly and rushed towards the penalty area.
The defensive players who were pulled apart on both sides also tried their best to defend against the middle.
But after Gundogan took two steps forward, before the defensive players on both sides were in place, he sent the football to his side.
Li Mingyu plugged in from the back row at high speed, and Jing Duoan sent this wonderful pass as if he had eyes in the back of his head.
When Li Mingyu got the ball, he directly took the ball forward. With one acceleration, Li Mingyu rushed into the penalty area.
Gundogan's dribbling has attracted all of West Ham's defenses.
Passing the ball without looking at people like long eyes in the back of the head, playing with the entire defense of West Ham United.
Li Mingyu broke into the penalty area with the ball, and West Ham's defense had no resistance at all. They could only watch helplessly as he swayed from an angle and volleyed.
The football roared towards the West Ham United goal.
The old goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has tried his best, stretched his body completely, and used his fingers to reach the football as much as possible.
However, to no avail, Li Mingyu's shot was from a tricky angle and fast, so the goalkeeper could only look back and hope that the football hit the goal frame.
However, the net flowers aroused in the goal once again made the fans cheer excitedly.
After Li Mingyu shot the goal, he excitedly swung his fist a few times and roared angrily.
He knew that this goal basically declared the end of the game.
Seeing this scene, the West Ham United players all sat on the ground dejectedly.
The pain and despair of being scored in the first half came to my mind again.
This time, there was really no hope.
West Ham coach David Moyes also shook his head helplessly.
In football, sometimes tactics are very important.
However, tactics are of little use if the gap between the two teams is too great.
In fact, the Manchester City team did not have any special tactics. It just used the familiar pass control and the personal ability of the players to drag down the West Ham United players.
Goals happen naturally.
This goal caused the players of West Ham United to have mental problems.
A player like Lingard still hopes to score a goal.
However, there are still some players whose minds are no longer on this game.
The next game became a one-sided massacre situation.
Although Lingard was running desperately on the field, he could only watch helplessly as the team gradually began to collapse.
No. In the 60th minute, Jesus took the ball in front of the penalty area and was brought down from behind by defender Angelo Obonna.
The referee awarded a direct free kick on the spot.
Li Mingyu made great free kicks overnight.
3: 0.
Li Mingyu also completed a hat-trick in the English League Cup final.
No.605 minutes, Li Mingyu was replaced by Bernardo Silva by Guardiola.
Guardiola didn't need Li Mingyu to waste his energy on the court in this kind of game that was already a sure thing.
After all, there are more important games ahead.
When Li Mingyu left the field, all the fans stood up and gave heartfelt cheers and applause.
Li Mingyu also walked off the stage slowly, applauding the audience around him in response.
This moment belonged entirely to Li Mingyu.
Although Manchester City has won five consecutive English League Cups, no one will dislike a sixth consecutive championship.
Li Mingyu smiled and hugged Guardiola on the sidelines.
Guardiola thanked him with a pat on the back.
In this game, Li Mingyu played an extremely important role.
The gimmicky opening, irritating the opponent, causing the opponent to make a mistake, get the topaz God of war card.
Then the team can attack this player frequently until a goal is scored.
Although the tactics are a bit wretched, it would be really difficult to do without a player like Li Mingyu.
No.90 minutes, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game on time, and did not give an extra minute of stoppage time.
It's not because there is no need to add time, but the referee feels that it would be too inhumane to add time.
7: 0.
This is the final score.
Manchester City are crazy.
This also created the most goals scored in a single game in the English League Cup final, and the largest point difference in a single game.
After the game, the West Ham players couldn't wait to leave the field. They felt that the opponent's players were crazy, and they wanted to leave this sad place quickly.
The players of the Manchester City team don't care about the reaction of a group of defeated players at all.
The six consecutive championships of the English League Cup is also the longest winning streak in the cups of the five major leagues.
Although the players of the Manchester City team have become accustomed to this championship, there is another player who won this championship for the first time.
That was Li Mingyu.
This is Li Mingyu's third championship trophy since he came to the Premier League.
Charity Shield, Premier League Champions, Carabao Cup Champions.
Next there is an FA Cup and a UEFA Champions League title waiting for him to win.
Five crowns in a single season have never appeared in the history of the Premier League.
Liverpool once won a total of five championship trophies in the natural year of 2001.
