The 2008-2009 League Cup final between Chelsea and Manchester United was held at 8pm local time on March 3rd in the UK, which is three o'clock in the morning Beijing time, but there are still countless Chinese fans waiting for the start of the game at midnight.
All Chinese Fans hope that Aiello can defend all the championships he won last season in this season and prove to the world that Aiello is the best player.
Before the game, the odds of the three major European bookmakers were that Chelsea conceded half a goal within 90 minutes.
The odds of Chelsea winning were 1:115, while the odds of Manchester United winning were 1:206.
It was obviously leaning towards Chelsea winning.
This made many Chelsea fans feel secretly happy.
The game hasn't even started yet, but most of the seats at the new Wembley Stadium have already been occupied by fans from both sides of the game, leaving only about 10,000 empty seats for the idle British fans.
It just so happens that these tickets are all occupied.
It was bought by Chinese people studying or working in England, so when players from both sides entered the field to warm up, the entire stadium looked more like Chelsea's home court.
This also made Chelsea boss Abramovich, who came to the VIP table in advance, once again plan to build a new stadium for Chelsea.
Stamford Bridge, which only accommodates 40,000 fans, is no longer worthy of the current Champions League champion Chelsea, so he turned to face CEO Kenyon said: "Peter, give you one month to give me a detailed plan for building a new stadium."
"Ah" Kenyon was stunned for a moment instinctively, and then nodded sharply after reacting: "I understand, boss."
Abramovich was satisfied and returned his attention to the court.
Of course, his attention was still on Aiello, the world's hottest player.
He knows that he really bought the right person when he decisively spent 60 million pounds.
Aiello's 30 image rights alone are already worth half of the transfer funds.
Coupled with a series of advertising revenue and game bonuses last season, it completely exceeds Aiello's transfer fee.
Abramovich sometimes secretly Calling Valencia's president Soler a fool, he has a championship and a cash cow but wants to sell it for a small profit.
He is really stupid.
Chelsea has been inconspicuous in the history of English football over the past century.
It was not until the end of the century that Chelsea began to introduce international stars.
It was not until Russian owner Abramovich took over that Chelsea officially had the foundation to become a giant.
However, This rich background is not a traditional term, but a description with a negative color.
A truly rich team has countless championships as its foundation.
The previous Chelsea team didn't have that, but it's different now.
With Aiello joining the team, they won all the championships they could in just one season, and they were truly recognized as a European giants team.
It can be seen that Aiello's arrival has a great impact on Chelsea.
Therefore, Chelsea fans also know how to be grateful to Aiello.
Whenever there is a home game, there will always be a huge Aiello poster hung artificially in the stands.
Indirect beneficiaries are also the Chinese who spend money at Chelsea fans, just like Valencia. , many enthusiastic Chelsea fans gave the Chinese the cost price.
However, the League Cup final is different from previous games.
This time the Chelsea fans in the stands hung two huge posters of Aiello: One is Aiello wearing a blue No. 9 jersey holding up the poster that led Chelsea to win seven trophies last season. comics, and another giant The second poster shows Ai Luo's back, with the ink unicorn tattoo looming behind him.
The tense momentum sets off the atmosphere of the new Wembley Stadium, making it even more majestic.
The two huge posters are rolling and sliding under the operation of the fans at the scene.
Lifelike.
This has also become a beautiful scenery in the League Cup final.
As in previous games, Aiello squatted aside and joked with Cristiano Ronaldo and Rooney before the game while picking up the ball.
This scene also attracted the attention of reporters on the scene.
The two armies were fighting, and the exchanges between the team members who had a personal relationship before the game always became a highlight of the game coverage.
It is worth mentioning that when it was revealed that Liverpool head coach Benitez fired his assistant Ayerstrom after discovering that he had developed a friendship with Mourinho, the Daily Mirror also opened fire with Mourinho who complained.
Just kidding, it is well known that Aiello has a friendship with Cristiano Ronaldo.
Will he refuse to use Aiello because of their relationship?
At that time, Mourinho said insinuation: "Unless there is something wrong with my brain."
The camera returned to the new Wembley Stadium, where the three people chatting happily were arming arms until each was called back to their own warm-up area by the team's physical coach to continue warming up.
The game time was eight o'clock in the evening, around 7:30, and the players from both sides returned to their respective locker rooms.

In the pre-match draw, Chelsea drew the home draw, while Manchester United became the away team.
However, because the colors of the home jerseys of the two teams did not conflict, Manchester United wore their traditional jerseys with the permission of the organizing committee before the League Cup final.
Red jersey.
So this is again a blue-red battle rather than a blue-white battle.
As McFerran closed the door to the dressing room tightly, the sound from the stadium suddenly stopped.
All the players' attention was focused on Ferguson.
They all knew that the Scottish old man would definitely have a lot to ask for before the game.
Account.
Ferguson chewed gum and looked at the team's first star Cristiano Ronaldo, and said meaningfully: "Cristiano, you have to shoulder more responsibilities in this game, so I will push you to the front line with Wei Well partner, we have lost to Chelsea in the past two games this season, so we have to win this game, right?
I believe you think so too.”
Everyone is looking at Cristiano Ronaldo.
As the team's well-deserved top star and top scorer, he should naturally shoulder equal responsibilities in a championship-related game.
Rooney also looked at his friend Cristiano Ronaldo expectantly, but his eyes were complicated.
From the beginning of the 2006-2007 season, he had to sacrifice himself for the benefit of the team to help his friend Cristiano Ronaldo.
He is not a saint.
Sometimes he will be jealous and complain, but many times he has to swallow his anger.
This time He didn't want to lose to Aiello again in the League Cup final, so he wanted to see his friend's answer.
Cristiano Ronaldo raised his head and glanced at all his teammates, then looked at his mentor Ferguson, and nodded fiercely: "I will definitely do it."
Rooney and Ferguson nodded simultaneously.
Immediately, Ferguson focused on explaining Aiello's defense.
Even though he had said it countless times before the game, for him now, limiting Aiello during the game is the most important part of the finals.
The atmosphere in the home team's locker room seemed more relaxed.
Mourinho explained possible situations and countermeasures in the first half in an orderly manner.
Of course, the more important thing is to remind the team's defense not to be distracted.
The final is a game that determines the outcome, as long as there is a slight mistake, you will miss the championship.
At the same time, the frontcourt players are also required to seize the opportunity and try not to let the League Cup final enter overtime when there are two consecutive games in a week.
Otherwise, the physical exertion of the players will be very serious, and the probability of injuries to the players will be increased, such as cards.
Players such as Valho, Ballack and Drogba who are over 30 years old naturally cannot recover their physical fitness as well as young people in their twenties.
Therefore, we must do our best to resolve the battle within ninety minutes.
In this 2008-2009 English League Cup final, both sides presented the strongest lineups they could field.
Chelsea's goalkeeper is Cech, the four defenders are Ashley Cole, Terry, Carvalho and Bosingwa, the midfielders are Essien, Lampard and Ballack, and the forwards are Aiello, Drogba and Arsenal.
Nelka.
Manchester United's goalkeeper is still Edwin van der Sar, the four defenders are Evra, Vidic, Rio Ferdinand and O'Shea, the midfielders are Park Ji-sung, Scholes, Carrick and Nani, and the forward is Cristiano.
Ronaldo and Rooney.
The two teams have met seven times in the past two seasons, with Chelsea having the absolute upper hand with five wins, one draw and one loss.
This game is the eighth time the two teams have met in the past two seasons.
The fans in the stands are clearly divided, half red and half blue, with only a small patch of color, representing neutral fans.
The process after the start of the game was beyond everyone's expectations.
Manchester United, who kicked off first, used continuous passes to enter Chelsea's 30-meter defensive zone.
Cristiano Ronaldo used Rooney's screen to deflect the ball away from Essien's defensive range, and then directly With a powerful volley, the football hit the goal like a cannonball, causing Cech to save the ball in a panic and save it from the baseline.
"The beautiful Cristiano Ronaldo's first shot in the opening shot was extremely threatening.
If Cech hadn't reacted quickly enough, Chelsea would have fallen behind in the new Wembley Stadium in less than a minute."
Before Lineker had time to report the lineups of both sides, he had to explain the surprise process of the game.
A minute later, Chelsea made continuous passes in the midfield.
The central midfielder combination of Carrick and Scholes was mobilized to run back and forth, but there was nothing they could do.

Soon the football was passed to Aiello's feet, which immediately attracted the attention of Carrick and Nani, but before the two arrived, Aiello suddenly swung his right foot about 32 meters away from the goal.
The instep of his right foot hit the football firmly.
"Ai, shoot" Van der Sar's pupils shrank sharply, and his body instinctively made a sideways dive, blocking the ball in a very thrilling way.
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar and hung above the net.
Originally, everyone thought that the two teams would test each other and attack each other.
Unexpectedly, the core players of the two teams directly attacked each other, completely raising the pace of the game:
