    Although Newcastle failed to top the standings, in this league, no one dares to underestimate this team, and at this point in the league, it has become unprecedentedly fierce. The points difference between the top three is only two points, and fourth place Chelsea  Although they have been separated by eight points from the top two, who can say that they can't catch up?  After all, their strength is quite strong.

    Just when the Premier League was at its most intense, the Premier League teams had to stop playing. According to the schedule, the next week will be the time for the English Cup. During this week, there will be an English Cup match.  The first leg of the League Cup semi-finals and the fourth round of the FA Cup.

    For Newcastle, the tasks of these two competitions are very clear - strive for the League Cup and give up the FA Cup. It is very simple. Newcastle has now entered the semi-finals of the League Cup, and by the end of this cup, there will only be three left.  It¡¯s only one game, not to mention that this year¡¯s League Cup seems to have become a graveyard for strong teams. Strong teams such as Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United have all been eliminated. In addition to Newcastle, the other three teams are Bolton Wanderers and Manchester United.  The biggest dark horse of Dellsbrough and this season's UEFA Cup is Barnsley from League Two.

    Fortunately, Newcastle¡¯s opponent in the League Cup semi-finals was this Barnsley team.

    With Newcastle's strength, it is almost impossible to lose to Barnsley - although Barnsley is the biggest dark horse in the UEFA Cup this season, they are not in the top four after defeating several Premier League teams.  Strong, but they were quite lucky in the draw. They always encountered teams that were equal to or even lower than them. In the quarter-finals, they were lucky enough to eliminate the English League One team with one goal at home.  Crewe.  This is how we entered the semi-finals.

    In fact, for Newcastle, they only need to consider the final. For Newcastle, who hope to win a championship this season,

    For Castle, the League Cup cannot be missed no matter what.

    Other teams in the FA Cup need to pay more attention to it. They have to pass five levels from the fourth round to the final. Newcastle will definitely not be able to divert their energy from the Champions League and the league to play the FA Cup, so for the FA Cup  , Mourinho and Pei Wei both have the mentality of playing wherever they go.

    The first leg of the League Cup semi-finals on the 21st (after entering the semi-finals, the League Cup became a home and away game) was played at Newcastle's home court.  Except for a few tired main players who were resting, Newcastle sent all their main players on the field. Mourinho's idea was to completely eliminate the opponent at home and then send substitutes on the road to get through.

    ?For a League Two team like Barnsley.  The lineup Mourinho sent was so bullying that even Williams, the St. James Park stadium commentator, couldn't stand it: "Mourinho is so cruel using a group of people with an annual salary of over a million.  Stars bully these semi-amateur players whose maximum annual salary is only 200,000 yuan I understand his desire to win a championship for Newcastle, but this is too bullying. "

    Given, Trabelsi, Dawson, Woodgate, Hart, Makelele, Dyer, Stewart, Nie Fei, Bellamy, Viduka.  The value of one Hart alone is basically equal to the total of Barnsley's entire team. This is not a close game at all.

    How can Barnsley¡¯s players who have been in Serie A and B for a long time resist a team that is basically composed of international players from various countries?  However, their performance was respectable enough. In fact, they were obviously far behind. Through their constant running and desperate fighting, Newcastle's offensive combination failed to score even a goal in the first half hour!

    However, they could only resist so far. In the 33rd minute, Stewart received the ball from Nie Fei in the midfield and forced it down and then made a cross. Viduka opened the door for Newcastle with a powerful header from the back point.  The door to victory.

    Once there is one, there are two. Barnsley, who resisted with courage, began to make more mistakes. In the 40th minute, Dyer actively pressed in the frontcourt and got a chance, intercepting a return pass from the opponent's defender who made a mistake.  After the ball, his low shot in front of the penalty area extended the score to 2-0.

    After the start of the second half, Newcastle's attack became more intense.  In the 69th minute, Nie Fei, Stewart and Dyer played a series of dazzling combinations in the frontcourt and tore apart the opponent's defense. Nie Fei's shot near the penalty spot scored Newcastle's third goal.

    Seventy-six minutes.  Bellamy, who has been looking for opportunities, also scored. He received a long pass from Makelele and scored directly.  After passing the attacking goalkeeper, he scored the ball.

    The score of four to zero did not satisfy the Newcastle players. Before the end, Viduka scored a goal in the melee in front of the goal.Five to zero, Newcastle won a big victory at home, and this score also basically confirmed their entry into the final.

    ¡°Well done, Jose, win this one, and then we¡¯ll play in the League Cup.¡±

    We only need to prepare for the final, which can greatly save our ball energy Do you plan to use most of the substitutes in the next game?  "

    "Well, the opponents in the fourth round of the FA Cup are not strong, and we don't need to pay too much attention to this game. We can go as far as we can. I plan to let some players who rarely get playing opportunities play. I hope  They can behave better."

    Newcastle's opponent in the fourth round of the FA Cup was Reading, a League One team. Pei Wei didn't have much impression of this team. In fact, Reading only broke into the Premier League in the summer of his reincarnation. Pei Wei  Naturally, they would not have known that this team with rough play would subsequently injured two Chelsea goalkeepers in the same game, including Cech, whom he had already booked.

    In this game, Mourinho indeed sent out most of the substitutes, goalkeeper Harper, defenders Kufuor, Dawson, Taylor and Bernard, midfielders Speed, Stewart, Solano and Viana.  , the forwards are still Bellamy and Viduka.

    However, the substitutes showed amazing fighting spirit on the court. It's no wonder that players like Solano, Viana, Speed ??and Bellamy have rarely been given the opportunity to play this season. A game like this is just right.  This is their chance to prove themselves. Even if they want to leave, they have to perform well to find their next home.

    In the end, thanks to Bellamy¡¯s goal in the 51st minute, Newcastle defeated Credding 1-0 in the away game and entered the fifth round.

    ******************************************

    Since entering January, Newcastle's performance is the best in the league. They have won all the two FA Cups, one League Cup and three league games that have been played. No Premier League team can match them.  So brilliant!

    January 31st is the 23rd round of the Premier League. If Newcastle can defeat their opponent Leicester City in this game, they will become the first team to play in a month since the beginning of this season.  It is a team that has maintained a complete victory in all games - this is something that neither Manchester United, which has won six consecutive victories, nor Arsenal, which has remained undefeated so far, has ever done it!

    And they have now won five consecutive games in the league. If they can win this game, Newcastle will also tie Manchester United's longest winning streak this season.

    Before the start of the game, Shearer and Leicester City captain Les Ferdinand hugged near the center circle. The 36-year-old veteran played for Newcastle for two seasons from 1995 to 1997.  Shearer and "Sir Les" Ferdinand only worked together for one season, but the two scored 49 goals together - he was the best strike partner in Shearer's career.

    It is worth mentioning that the celebration of running with his right hand high after scoring a goal has become a symbol of Shearer, but this celebration was first used by Ferdinand on the court, and this player also has another thing that no one can  The record achieved - on 12.15 in 2001, Ferdinand wrote his name into the history of the Premier League - he scored the 10,000th goal since the establishment of the Premier League

    However, after the game started, the Newcastle players did not give the former senior any face. Woodgate followed him closely, while the Newcastle offensive players launched a barrage at the Leicester gate.  Wave after wave of attacks.

    Ibrahimovic opened the scoring for Newcastle in the 30th minute - Shearer's number of goals dropped significantly after the New Year. Of course, no one will demand that the veteran can continue to maintain his magical state in the first half of the season - at this time  , Ibrahimovic became Newcastle's most reliable source of goals. He swept Shearer's header into the door, giving Newcastle a one-goal lead.

    Seven minutes later, defender Howie, who had played for Newcastle for 12 years, accidentally scored an own goal. Nie Fei's shot in the penalty area bounced off the goal post. Howie tried to make a clearance but failed to hit the target.  The ball flew into the door.

    In the second half, Jenas's volley in front of the penalty area sealed the victory for Newcastle. After that, Newcastle's pace on the court slowed down, and Mourinho also replaced two consecutive substitutes, Viana and Bellamy, in the eighth  Ten minutes later, Ferdinand headed his teammate's cross into the goal to get one point back. The Newcastle fans applauded him enthusiastically - it is estimated that if Newcastle was lagging behind now, Ferdinand would not be able to get this honor.

    In the end, Newcastle defeated Leicester City 3-1 at home, maintaining a complete victory throughout January!  They are the deserved Premier League Team of the Month for January!
