When Arsenal led 5:1, Wenger made the last substitution.
He substituted Nasri for Blaise Matuidi, using a double pivot to strengthen the defense.
After all, it was already 5:1, there was no need to continue pushing for offense.
In the 89th minute of the match.
Martins scored a goal with an assist from Barry Ferguson, and Birmingham pulled one back to 2:5.
But this goal could no longer ignite the emotions of the fans present.
After all, with less than 5 minutes left in the match, they were still three goals behind. Even the 2022 Real Madrid and the 1999 Manchester United couldn't turn it around.'
Finally, accompanied by Barry Ferguson's yellow card foul in the final moments, the Main Referee blew the whistle to end the match.
Arsenal defeated Birmingham 5:2, winning the championship again after 6 years!
The moment the Main Referee blew the final whistle, the players on the Arsenal bench rushed onto the field and passionately embraced the players on the pitch.
Fly, being the greatest contributor to this final, naturally suffered from "extensive attacks".
"Bro, we are the champions!!!"
"Incredible, I never thought I would finally win my first championship after so many years at Arsenal."
"It's so rare..."
Except for a very small number of people like Nasri and Fabregas.
Most Arsenal players had only joined Arsenal in recent years. They had never tasted the feeling of being champions before.
Fly, however, looked calm, he just said to his teammates:
"It's just the League Cup... Why get so excited? In a few months, we will win two bigger championships!"
Hearing Fly's words, many players realized what the two bigger championships referred to.
"Fly, really...? Do you really think we can win the Champions League?"
Fabregas was a bit disbelieving. As for this season's League championship, he already felt it was secured.
But for the Champions League, he still didn't have much confidence.
After all, in the Champions League, they had to face the top teams in Europe.
This included his former club, Barcelona.
The impression that Dream Three Barça had left on Fabregas was simply too deep...
He subconsciously felt that Arsenal would not be a match for Barcelona.
Especially last year's Champions League, Messi scored a quadruple, directly crushing Arsenal!
Since that match, he had developed a kind of "Barcelona phobia".
Even though Arsenal had shown themselves to be invincible in the Champions League and League this season, and had even reached the League Cup final using their reserve squad all the way, and then won the championship without any suspense after the starting lineup played.
Fabregas still felt that Barcelona was invincible!
He still didn't think the current Arsenal was a match for Barcelona.
Hearing the hidden meaning of "trembling" in Cesc Fàbregas's words, Fly knew this poor kid had been scared by Barcelona.
According to Fly's memory, this season's Barcelona was indeed very strong, even arguably the "strongest Barcelona in history".
Even though they didn't win the sextuple like in the 2008-09 season, losing one trophy in the Copa del Rey Final where Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning header.
But in all fairness, the dominance shown by this Barcelona team on the field was definitely stronger than the 2009 Barcelona.
It's important to know that the 2008-09 Barcelona did not have a significant gap in class compared to other strong teams.
Not to mention anything else, just playing against Chelsea, if it weren't for the Stamford Bridge tragedy, Barcelona would have been eliminated...
But this season's Barcelona truly created a gap in class with other strong teams.
Sir Alex Ferguson's hands trembled from being beaten, which happened in this season's Champions League Final.
It can be said that in the original timeline where Fly did not exist, no team could stop this season's Barcelona.
Although Arsenal did cause enough trouble for Barcelona this season.
But ultimately, they were just one step short and were unfortunately eliminated.
Fly knew all this clearly, so he didn't blame his teammates for fearing Barcelona.
But since he exists in this timeline, he, Fly, must do something big to change history!
Otherwise, wouldn't he, Fly, have time-traveled for nothing?
"Don't worry, Cesc (Fabregas), you know my strength... I will make a move against any team!"
"No team can stop me from scoring. I have one hundred percent confidence in this."
The Arsenal players around were influenced by Fly and also started shouting.
"Yes, that's right, we Arsenal are invincible..."
"I don't want to say too much, Arsenal will win!"
"Fly is right, why be afraid of those damn Southern Europeans and Americans? We will definitely win!"
Hearing his teammates include him in the insults, Fabregas couldn't help but shake his head and smile.
"Okay... Fly, I believe you. I'll count on you to carry me then!"
"Heh heh... Don't worry, Cesc, as long as you guys play like humans, I'm confident I can lead you to the championship!"
"Then don't worry, even if I don't play well, I can still manage to play like a human..."
While waiting for the staff to set up the awards stage, Fly chatted excitedly with his teammates.
Wenger also walked over with a smile, giving each player on the field a fist bump.
When it was Fly's turn, Arsène Wenger gave him a hug, then quietly said:
"Fly, we're going to do something big this season, aren't we?"
Fly nodded and teased:
"Boss, didn't we already agree? You're not scared, are you?"
"Scared?" Wenger looked at Fly with a strange gaze, then said like an old imp:
"Do you think I'm still afraid of playing matches after coaching for so many years? At worst, we lose... I've lost too many times, I'm used to it."
After chatting for a while, the awards stage was set up.
First to receive the awards was the runner-up team, Birmingham.
Arsenal players lined up on both sides, applauding the runner-up Birmingham team.
The Birmingham players weren't particularly down. After all, they had already anticipated the result of playing against the invincible Arsenal this season in the final.
They could only say that the miracle they were hoping for didn't happen... It wasn't worth being disappointed, they just treated it with a normal mindset.
Facing the Arsenal players who were lined up on both sides, extending their hands for high-fives, they didn't refuse and maintained a good attitude for friendly high-fives.
Seeing this scene, Fly couldn't help but feel strange.
If he remembered correctly, just before he time-traveled, it seemed that a certain English star from the runner-up team Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey at that time, when faced with the Barcelona players lining up for high-fives, chose to ignore them with a straight face.
"I think his name was Bellingham... If I meet him in the future, I'd like to see if he dares to put on a face for me."
Thinking of having such a junior after he joins the England team in the future, Fly felt a bit speechless.
To be honest, in his previous life, these so-called England 'princes' and England'superstars'.
In Fly's eyes, they were praised to the skies by the media from a young age, leading them to completely lose themselves.
If they really become his teammates in the future, Fly will definitely teach them how to behave.
He is not Harry Kane, who went his whole life without a trophy, nor is his personality so weak.
If anyone dares to bare their teeth at him in the England team in the future, Fly will beat the crap out of them, unless they've already cleanly emptied their bowels.
According to information from his agent, it seems the Football Association is currently waiting for this season to end.
Once the season ends, someone will contact me immediately.
Fly knew his plan had achieved its goal; the officials at the Football Association were completely unable to sit still.
If they didn't act soon, the angry England fans would probably rush them to death immediately.
"Heh heh... A bunch of fat-headed guys, they deserve to be rushed."
After Birmingham received their silver medals and left the stage, it was time for the Arsenal players to go up and receive their gold medals.
Fly, as Arsenal's star player now, stayed at the back and was the last to go on stage.
Head coach Wenger and captain Fabregas were first and second respectively, leading the other players onto the stage one after another.
The Football Association officials looked at the Arsenal players receiving their awards, each with a huge smile on their face.
Although Fly guessed that these fat-headed guys probably hated Arsenal to death in their hearts right now.
After all, this season's Premier League has basically been made suspense-free by Arsenal.
This does not align with the interests of these fat-headed guys.
Seeing the Football Association chairman pulling Wenger aside for a warm chat, anyone who didn't know better would think they had some shady deal going on.
When it was Fly's turn, the Football Association chairman's expression was even more enthusiastic, as if he were seeing his own father.
"Fly, congratulations on winning the first championship of your professional career. You deserve it..."
"Thank you, Chairman."
After Fly hung the gold medal around his neck, the Football Association chairman quietly said:
"Fly, England needs you. Please consider it, we will help you win everything."
