Chapter 680 The decisive moment

Since the birth of the League Cup in 1960-1961, England's top teams have had three honors to compete for every season. However, in the previous 45 seasons, although there have been many cases of winning two championships, such as Manchester United won two championships in the 1993-1994 season, 1995-1996 season, 1998-1999 season, 2002-2003 season, and 2003-2004 season, but no team can win all three championships.

Now, Manchester United is expected to become the first team in history to achieve this feat!

Not far away, in the visiting coach's seat, West Ham United's head coach Alan Padu stood up, his expression was serious and silent.

He knew too well how strong Manchester United is. Now that his team is behind two goals, he basically said goodbye to the champion.

……………………

Half a minute later, referee Willie blew the whistle to the end of the first half.

The cheers and celebrations in the stands did not stop because of the whistle, and Manchester United fans were very excited.

As the top leader of the Premier League, Manchester United does not lack championships after entering the Premier League era, and fans often witness the team win the championship. However, winning all three domestic championships this year is the first to win the first place!

What makes fans even more excited is that the team they support is likely to become the first "Four-Crown" team in history in four days!

"Yin Jun, the youngest World Footballer in history and European Golden Ball winner, did not waste another chance after his first shot was rejected by the goal frame. His goal helped Manchester United lead West Ham United 2-0 in the half. Now, it is only a matter of time before Manchester United won the 12th FA Cup championship in team history!" John Motterson shouted.

"Coach Ferguson's Manchester United showed everyone their offensive storm, especially the second goal. The entire goal process was like the art of offensive, speed, breakthrough, wonderful pass cooperation, shot, and supplementary shot. The entire goal process did not give West Ham United any chance!" Leinker said.

He was very excited, not only because he had some support and favor for Manchester United and Yin Jun, but also because as a commentator, he would naturally be excited when facing such a wonderful goal.

What's more, he may soon witness an unprecedented miracle born in front of him: he won three championships in the Premier League, the FA Cup and the League Cup in one season!

……………………

The second half begins soon.

Unwilling to admit defeat, West Ham United took the lead in launching an offensive and created continuous threats. However, Van der Sar continued to perform bravely in the first half and contributed several consecutive pounces.

In the first minute of the second half, Etherington made a low cross from the left. Heywood fell to the ground and shot from 7 meters away from the goal, but was blocked by Van derssa. Benardon took the ball on the other side and dunked the defender. Heywood shot with his left foot 10 meters in front of the goal and was blocked by Van derssa!

Although these two attacks failed to make a contribution, they boosted the morale of West Ham United players. Coupled with Ferguson's tactical arrangement in the midfield, Manchester United, who began to keep their strength, was gradually suppressed by West Ham United on the scene.

Of course, this is not to say that Manchester United has no chance, they are even closer to goals than West Ham United.

In the 51st minute, Rooney stopped the ball in his chest, and Yin Jun volleyed his right foot 18 meters in front of the goal and bounced back.

This was the second time Yin Jun hit the door frame in this game. At that moment, Yin Jun was stunned. He rushed to the front of the door and punched the door frame twice to vent his depression.

Yin Jun's actions caused laughter from the fans at the scene, and the commentators were also very happy. It was difficult for them to see Yin Jun perform like this. This young and mature football superstar has always given people the feeling of a mountain falling in front of him without changing his face.

……………………

West Ham United finally became the first team to score goals in the second half.

In the 64th minute, Etherington passed the ball to the left, and Concheski made a cross from outside the corner of the penalty area, but the ball miserably crossed Van der Sar's fingertips and fell into the far corner.

The score on the field became 2:1, and West Ham United won a goal!

With almost half an hour left in the game, West Ham United saw the dawn of winning again, and Hammers coach Padu also laughed on the sidelines.

Ferguson began to make substitution adjustments. He first replaced Giggs with Park Ji-sung in the 67th minute of the game, and then replaced Rooney with Fanny in the 71st minute.

Although both substitutions were adjusted in the opposite position, it can also be seen that Ferguson was staying in the Champions League final four days later.

Alan Padu is also making personnel adjustments. He first replaced Ashton with forward player Zamora, and then replaced Carl Fletcher with veteran Daly.

Whether it is veteran Daly or forward Zamora, they are all the heroes of West Ham United's promotion to the Premier League last season and are also the main players this season. However, they had minor injuries before, and Padu did not arrange for them to start for safety reasons.

However, now the team is facing difficulties, he doesn't care about so much and sends both of them on the court.

……………………

As time passed by 80 minutes, the game had reached a heightened level, and both sides had already become red-eyed.

Especially with Alan Padu substituting 40-year-old former Manchester United striker Sheringham on the field in the 85th minute, West Ham United used three center tactics, which even declared that this was the final moment of the decisive battle!

At this time, any side scores a goal, which may determine the outcome of the game!

West Ham United is completely unwilling to worry about defense at this time, and it can be said that it is coming out in full swing.

For the Hammer Gang, 2:1 and 3:1 are the same, they are both eliminated, and they can only attack at this time.

What if you score a goal?

In the 88th minute of the game, West Ham United's gambling offense finally exposed their defense loopholes.

West Ham United won a free kick in the frontcourt, including two centre-backs Anton Ferdinand and Gabiden, with as many as eight West Ham United players squeezed into Manchester United's penalty area.

Cork passed the ball into the penalty area. Veteran Sheringham, who had just made a substitute Etherington's three-minute appearance, headed the ball by goalkeeper Van der Sar, and Manchester United launched a quick counterattack.

"This is Manchester United's counterattack opportunity!" John Motterson shouted, "Four-to-two! Manchester United's goal opportunity!"

At this moment, in the backcourt of West Ham United, there are only two defensive players, Scaloni and Concheski.

Ronaldo dribbled the ball forward at high speed, and Concheski went up to defend him. Before getting close, Ronaldo passed the ball out. Fanny held Scaloni and knocked the ball over and passed it to Yin Jun.

"It's a one-on-one!"

Yin Jun, who received the ball, moved forward and went straight into the penalty area.

Alan Padu's face turned pale, and he was confused and panicked. He had done everything he could, but could he still not turn the tables?
Chapter completed!
