    (Brothers, there are still two guaranteed updates this month, and there will be occasional outbreaks. If you have monthly recommended tickets for me, don¡¯t keep them, and support the subscription. The data is a bit ugly!) After the cruel test of the Christmas Devil schedule, the Premier League championship and relegation  The situation is already beginning to take shape.  .  .  Among the teams competing for the championship, Mourinho and Ferguson's teams were hindered last night. Wenger finally turned around, while Benitez continued the winning streak that Ferguson and Mourinho least wanted to see.  Among the relegation teams, except for the brothers Fulham and Watford, Charlton, Wigan, and Sheffield United have all suffered defeats. For them, winter has just arrived.  ??Obviously, Liverpool is the biggest winner in this round of the Premier League and even the entire devilish schedule.  During the Christmas schedule, Ben¨ªtez¡¯s team scored 12 points in 4 games, scored 12 goals and conceded 1 goal, and its momentum was as strong as ever.  Manchester United's record of three wins and one draw in 4 games is second only to Liverpool. Arsenal has three wins and one loss and ranks third with 9 points. Chelsea is unbeaten in four games during the devil's schedule, but one win, three draws and only 6 points makes them a devil.  The biggest loser of the schedule.  Liverpool's victory over England during the Christmas period was not due to Benitez's rotation, good luck or weak opponents, but Chen Yu's timely comeback.  ??Among the 12 goals in the four games on Christmas Day, Chen Yu scored 5 of them, opened the scoring in three of them, and had three assists. He became the biggest contributor to Liverpool's consecutive wins.  In addition to Liverpool, the biggest winner is Chen Yu.  In just 9 rounds, Chen Yu caught up with Drogba, who ranked first in the scorer list. His scoring efficiency is so high that it is rare in the Premier League, which has always been known for its offense.  This season, due to the injury of Henry, who has been the top scorer in the Premier League for three consecutive times, the battle for the top scorer has become extremely fierce. After Chen Yu returned, because he missed 13 rounds of the league, he did not know his status after his return. Everyone outside was not sure.  It was not expected that he would make a difference in the scorer list, but after his comeback, Chen Yu rose like a rocket in the scorer list. After 9 rounds, he has been astonishingly promoted to the first place, on par with Drogba.  There are now 6 forwards on the scorer list who have scored more than 10 goals. Chen Yu's advantage is not big, but at this moment no one thinks that others still have a chance to compete for the top scorer. Chen Yu's scoring momentum completely shocked everyone.  People, including Chen Yu¡¯s opponents.  After watching Chen Yu score the 13th goal, Drogba said with some frustration: "It's unbelievable. Chen is so crazy, but I don't believe that his crazy state will continue, but even if he continues  Crazy, I won¡¯t give up. As for who is the top scorer, let¡¯s wait until the end of the season. Maybe it¡¯s me, maybe McCarthy or Ronaldo.¡± Drogba was describing Chen Yu.  After three consecutive rounds of Crazy, Chen Yu got another nickname: Chen Crazy.  With Chen Yu's return, Liverpool seems to have received a powerful new aid, which has activated the entire Liverpool team. Seeing that Liverpool is so strong, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, Everton and other teams that are aiming for the championship and Champions League seats can't help but  Not jealous.  The schedule during Christmas and New Year is tight, and the Premier League is full of upsets. It also exposes the shortcomings of the lineups of various wealthy teams. Other leagues have winter breaks. Teams can use the break time to adjust their status, but the Premier League  But there is no choice. Winter games are more stressful, so "winter supplementation" is the most convenient way for Premier League teams to improve their strength.  In January, the European winter transfer market kicked off, and "The Sun" announced the winter transfer targets of major teams.  Although Manchester United faces pressure from Liverpool and Chelsea to catch up, their results are very good. Ferguson confidently stated that he will not change his usual winter transfer strategy, that is, there will be no hasty purchases in the winter market, but the old  Sir Alex did not say anything to death, "Unless we are sure that there is a player like this that we have been observing for a long time, we will try to sign him." The "Sun" pointed out that this player is the former Barcelona player Larsson.  Chelsea is currently suffering from internal and external problems. Chelsea owner Abramovich has publicly stated that he is not a friend to Mourinho. Mourinho has already had a stalemate with senior officials including CEO Kenyon. After the draw with Aston Villa, he criticized players by name again.  This intensified the conflict with the players. On the field, the defense that was once impregnable has now turned into dregs. After losing Terry and Cech, the team no longer knows how to defend; Mourinho urgently needs to be able to provide special  For those who play as substitutes, the "Sun" said that the Blues' targets are mainly concentrated on Manchester City's Richards, Portsmouth's Campbell and Birmingham City's Upson, and in the forward and midfield, the Madmen hope to get  His old subordinate Deco and Valencia's leading striker Villa.  However, the relationship between Mourinho and the senior management is not good now. It is rumored that some people want Mourinho to leave Chelsea. If the rumors are true, a winter transferIt may be difficult for Rinho to buy the players he needs.  Arsenal has never liked to spend money in the transfer market. Wenger, who majored in economics, pays more attention to cost-effectiveness. Arsenal has many problems now, including flaws in the front, middle and backcourt, but Wenger only has two targets, namely  Are: Portuguese defensive midfielder Manuel Fernandez, who plays for Portsmouth, and Hungarian playmaker Guerra, who plays for West Bromwich Albion.  As for the remaining problems, Wenger just wants to tap potential from within, such as letting 23-year-old defender Eboue come on to replace Laurent.  Although Liverpool's record is very good, their bench strength is far inferior to that of Manchester United and Chelsea. In order to cope with the two-line or even three-fourth line battles that will come later, Benitez has begun to make preparations and plans to introduce defenders Arbeloa and  Insua, midfielder Mascherano.  The transfer is a matter of mutual consent. If the negotiation is not settled, you can wait slowly and negotiate in detail. If it doesn't work, just wait for the summer transfer. But in the British Isles, the game will not stop at any time, 9 days  The four Premier League games have just ended, and the FA Cup and League Cup have begun again.  The English FA Cup, referred to as the FA Cup, is the oldest football competition in the world. Every August, all non-league clubs with basic facilities under the English Football Association begin to participate in the elimination preliminaries, with the largest number of participants.  The most interesting thing is that in the 2004/2005 season, 660 clubs participated in the FA Cup.  The extra preliminary rounds are followed by preliminary rounds, four qualifying rounds and six official rounds, ending with the semi-finals and finals.  Teams like the Premier League usually start participating in the third round.  The FA Cup has a longer history than the League Cup, and is more valued by Premier League teams. In the ranking of ordinary Premier League teams and wealthy teams, the most important ones are undoubtedly the League and the Champions League, followed by the FA Cup, and then the League Cup.  , and finally the Community Shield.  Liverpool has always had good luck in cup competitions, but this time their good luck came to an end. Their opponent in the third round of the FA Cup turned out to be the Premier League giant Arsenal.  Encountering an old enemy while chasing points in the league gave Benitez a headache. If Liverpool all used substitutes, they would probably be massacred by Arsenal, who were hopeless in the league. This would have an impact on Liverpool's morale, but  If Liverpool, which originally had a weak bench, had to fight Arsenal for an FA Cup match during the devilish schedule, Benitez would really be unwilling to do so.  Manchester United¡¯s opponents are better than Liverpool. Aston Villa is also a mid-range team in the Premier League. How Manchester United will play against Villa is still a problem, but at least Sir Alex Ferguson dares to use half of the substitute lineup.  Chelsea is better off. Their opponent is the amateur team Macclesfield. Basically, Mourinho will never worry about losing even if he sends the youth team to play.  Before the start of the FA Cup, Benitez and his coaching staff discussed how to play this game, because three days later they would play against Arsenal in the League Cup quarter-finals.  For these two cup games, are they going all out or just doing their job.  If this question was put a month ago, Liverpool would definitely have to go all out, because at that time they were 16 points behind Manchester United in the league and basically had no hope of winning the league. But now, they are only nine points behind Manchester United and there is still hope of winning the league.  At this time, it is not worthwhile to fight against Arsenal, who have no hope of winning the league and can only count on the cup. After repeated discussions, Benitez finally decided to focus on the league and the Champions League, and the League Cup and FA Cup can only be given priority.  Let it go, but the premise is that the loss cannot be too ugly. Even if you are eliminated, it should be honorable even though you lose.  Benitez reported his plan to CEO Rick Barry and Chairman Morse. Now CEO Rick Barry and Chairman Morse are busy recruiting and selling the team, so they don't have the mood to worry about so much.  They all said that Benitez makes the decision on the team's affairs himself and does not need to ask them for instructions.  With the delegation of power from the chairman and manager, Benitez boldly sent substitutes in the FA Cup and League Cup, putting all the main players on the bench. Chen Yu didn't even make the squad.  Arsenal has no hope of going all out in the cup competition, and Liverpool gave up strategically. After this, their strength has dropped by a different level, and Arsenal is obviously stronger in terms of fighting spirit. Liverpool is more of a gamble, and finally won the FA Cup.  In the two games of the FA Cup and the League Cup, Arsenal defeated Liverpool 3:1 and 3:0 respectively, reaching the next round of the FA Cup and the semi-finals of the League Cup.  Chelsea and Manchester United, who encountered underdogs, also easily advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup, and Chelsea also reached the semi-finals of the League Cup.  Liverpool¡¯s lack of seriousness in the cup competition has been severely criticized by the Football Association and reporters. They believe that it is a bit risky for Liverpool to give up the cup competition so easily, because if the league cannot catch up with Manchester United, there is a possibility that all four will be lost in the end, but at this moment Liverpool??The league is really eager. In order to realize their desire to win the league, let alone give up promotion to the FA Cup and League Cup, they are not willing to hesitate even to the final. Now they have won the Community Shield and lost the FA Cup.  Cup and League Cup, we can finally go all out to launch a sprint for the League Championship and the Champions League Championship.
