London. Thousands and thousands of Newcastle supporters dominated London in the League Cup Final.
The victory meant a lot to these people, but this is guaranteed to be just the beginning for them.
It may also be the beginning of a new era for Manchester United.
Two hours before kick-off at Wembley, when it was teeming with hope Gordez On the parade route to this great arena, I walked around thinking it meant more to Newcastle supporters.
Newcastle United had not been in a cup final since 1999 (and fell to Manchester United). Admittedly, it was the FA Cup, which is above the League Cup in the hierarchy. At this time it was not called the Carabao Cup but the Worthington Cup – or “Worthless Cup” as some players called it the tournament.
From the turn of the millennium onwards, Manchester United won bigger and more important titles. Most recently in Stockholm in 2017 when Zlatan Ibrahimovic jumped on his knees 1.5 inside Friends when the Europa League title was saved against Ajax.
Sir Alex and Tin Hag’s sweet moment
Although those six years must have felt like an eternity to Man United fans. It became a blur when Eric ten Hag met Alex Ferguson in the Wembley catacombs after the award ceremony. A firm and sincere hug united these gentlemen for an emotional moment.
Sir Alex had to wait longer than planned for his rightful heir. Most signs point to it being here now.
The image of the match reflects the expectations of most people. Newcastle is not scoring at the moment, despite trying hard. Shortly before Casemiro headed in behind Loris Karius, David De Gea saved a goal from Allan Saint-Maximin.
He is always posting (or saving) for Newcastle’s attack. The ball was then unfortunately won over by centre-back Sven Bothman, who assisted Marcus Rashford to make it 2-0 just before half-time. Poor Karius – looking for redress in England – could do nothing.
Team raises
Eddie Howe selected linebacker Sean Longstaff and threw to Alexander Isaacs. Black and White shoved and shoved and shoved in front of their massive supporters. But Manchester United persevered and soon saw the referee put the tube in his mouth for the last time.
Before Casemiro started celebrating, Bruno berated Fernandes a bit about a missed pass. That says something about the winning brass skull. He has absolutely raised this team in quality and also shows mental toughness when he steps onto the field.
Newcastle is still in the early stages of its new venture. In a sense, Manchester United is in a similar situation.
Erik ten Hag might not have put together his strongest team if his prize pool was already so heavy underneath him. In the 1999 FA Cup Final, for example, Sir Alex picked the bench for a number of his regular players to protect them before a meeting – obviously more important – with Bayern Munich.
Newcastle wanted to win on Sunday, but Manchester United needed to. As primary evidence that the club is heading in the right direction. That this is only the beginning of a new distinguished era.
