    After the fourth round of the League Cup, eight teams including Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Everton, Tottenham Hotspur, Blackburn and West Ham United advanced to the quarterfinals. Among the four giants,  Manchester United was eliminated miserably, but in the League Cup, which is known as a hotbed of unpopularity, it is not a shocking thing that Manchester United, which has always ignored it, was eliminated.  After the fourth round, the Football Association of England conducted a quarter-final draw that night. Liverpool and Chelsea were very unlucky. They were drawn together, while Arsenal's luck was also average. They faced  It is Blackburn Rovers, a team in the middle and upper reaches of the league that is gaining momentum. The other two teams are Manchester City, where Chinese player Sun Hai belongs, challenging Tottenham, and Everton competing with West Ham.  Chelsea was the League Cup champion last year. Last year they defeated Arsenal 2-1 at Cardiff¡¯s Millennium Stadium to win the cup, while Liverpool was the league champion last year. Their meeting between Chelsea and Liverpool was basically equivalent to an advance final.  Chinese player Sun Hai's Manchester City team defeated Bolton Wanderers 1-0 in an away game and reached the top 8 of the League Cup for the first time in seven years. Their opponent is Tottenham Hotspur. Tottenham Hotspur's current record is deteriorating, with 11 games in the league so far.  With only 1 victory, if Liverpool defeats Chelsea and Manchester City overcomes Tottenham, the League Cup may usher in the Chinese Derby for the first time.  According to the schedule, the first leg of this round of quarter-finals will be held on December 17. The final of this season is scheduled to be held at Wembley on February 24. After the reconstruction of Wembley, the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales  It has fulfilled its 7-year hosting duty.  The substitutes got Liverpool tickets to the top 8 of the League Cup. This is also very important for Liverpool. They have great ambitions this season and are determined to win the Triple Crown or even all the championships, so physical fitness is very important to them.  , in the last game against Arsenal, they were tied by Arsenal because of lack of physical fitness. If the substitutes can help Liverpool share the cup, then Liverpool's goal will be easier to achieve.  After knowing that their opponent in the League Cup was Chelsea, Liverpool's generals all had a headache. It was too early to face a wealthy team like Chelsea in the quarter-finals. Chelsea and Arsenal should have met in the final.  , I definitely wouldn¡¯t dare to come on the bench when playing against Chelsea. The whole main force might not be able to win, let alone the substitutes.  But the full force and Chelsea's desperate fight for the League Cup quarter-finals was really not worth the gain.  However, the game is still more than a month away, and now Liverpool don't have to worry about the League Cup. What matters to them now is to win the 12th round of the league against Blackburn Rovers. Blackburn have played really well this season. Now  They have 6 wins, 2 losses, and 3 draws with 21 points, ranking fifth, second only to Chelsea, and their momentum is so strong that Liverpool does not dare to underestimate it.  Last season Blackburn was 10th in the Premier League, reaching the top 32 of the UEFA Cup and the top 4 of the FA Cup. Only the results in the League Cup were slightly worse. They are a typical middle-class team in the Premier League.  Blackburn's head coach Mark Hughes is very capable. Under his training, Blackburn is famous for its tough style of play and fierce fighting. From last season to the present, Blackburn has been the number one red and yellow card player in the Premier League.  It's Liverpool. Any team in the Premier League will have a headache when they see them.  Blackburn's heavyweight signing this season is handsome forward Santa Cruz. Others like Dutch striker Riggs, who has only scored 5 goals in 60 games for Breda, have never been selected for the Dutch national team.  .  Nelson's arrival is only as a substitute for goalkeeper Friedel, but after reinforcing Santa Cruz, South African striker McKenzie is no longer alone. The help this brings to Blackburn is equivalent to "Liverpool gets Chen Yu", Blackburn  So said head coach Mark Hughes.  Although Blackburn are known for their ferocity and toughness, they are not as reckless as Reading. They have England international David Bentley and Pedersen on the wing, as well as Savage and Tuguet for midfield dispatch and interception.  Ability cannot be underestimated.  The forward line composed of McCarthy and Santa Cruz has skills, physical strength and height. Taken together, Blackburn is really difficult to deal with.  However, no matter how difficult Blackburn is to beat, Liverpool must win, because this round Liverpool also got the same opportunities as Manchester United and Chelsea in the last round. In this round of the Premier League, Arsenal and Manchester United meet on a narrow road, regardless of whether these two teams  Whatever the outcome, both Liverpool and Chelsea will be the beneficiaries, especially Liverpool. Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United now have the same points. If Manchester United and Arsenal were not competing against each other, Liverpool would not know when it would be possible to get rid of them.  , and now their chance has come.  Mark Hughes is a famous player of Manchester United. Manchester United and Liverpool are sworn rivals. When these two teams play against each other, there will definitely be no calm before the game. Blackburn¡¯s head coach Mark Hughes said that he will break Liverpool¡¯s unbeaten streak.  , South African striker McCarthy has scored 5 goals in the last four rounds, which is somewhat inflated. He said that he willBreaking the phenomenon of Chen Yu dominating the scorer list.  Faced with the challenge from their opponents, Liverpool was not unambiguous. Benitez was unwilling to say too harsh words when faced with a superstar coach like Mark Hughes. He just said lightly that if Blackburn had this ability, let them break it.  .  Chen Yu was dismissive of McCarthy's adjustment. He sneered and said that anyone can be the top scorer, but whoever wants to be the top scorer must score more than 38 goals, and don't even think about scoring less than 38 goals.  The coaches and stars of the two teams talk so hotly, and the results of the two teams are so good. Under normal circumstances, as long as the media provokes it, this is the rhythm of a war of words, but this round is not possible, because this  The focus of a round of media attention is on Arsenal and Manchester United. Whether it is fans, reporters, or celebrities and celebrities in England, the focus of the battle between Manchester United and Arsenal is the focus. TV, Internet and print media are also paying attention.  Since the news of Arsenal and Manchester United was put on the front page, only Liverpool's own media did this, the game between Liverpool and Blackburn was considered to be quite important, but now it has become insignificant.  Arsenal and Manchester United are old rivals. They have been fighting in the Premier League for 11 years. The two have faced each other 33 times before. In the three competitions of the League, FA Cup and League Cup, they were just tied. It was just because of 4 community games.  The Shield (Charity Shield) met Wenger and won three times, giving the professor a slight advantage in the total record with 14 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses, but the goals scored were slightly worse than 37 to 41.  The media likes to see the two famous coaches being incompatible. In the past, in every battle between Arsenal and Manchester United, Wenger would have a war of words with Ferguson, and the media would also add fuel to the flames, allowing the Gunners and the Red Devils to reach a small climax before the game, attracting attention.  Fans' attention.  But in recent years, with the rise of Chelsea and the return of Liverpool as the king, Manchester United and Arsenal are no longer direct competitors. Instead, they have common enemies, Chelsea and Liverpool.  Since they are no longer rivals for the championship, the relationship between Wenger and Ferguson has eased a lot. The two teams have not had much conflict since the pizza war three years ago.  Although Wenger has never followed Ferguson's habit of drinking after games, they did have dinner together during several UEFA meetings, and neither of them turned the table over, so at least they are no longer enemies.  What makes Liverpool happy is that the game between Arsenal and Manchester United was played before them. According to convention, such a game will be used as the finale of this round and put to the end, and this round of Arsenal and Manchester United  Not only was the game not moved to the last game, but it was also played before the games between Liverpool and Blackburn, and Chelsea and Wigan Athletic. This was equivalent to giving Liverpool and Chelsea the initiative.  The game between Manchester United and Arsenal will be played at 12.45 noon on November 3, the game between Chelsea and Wigan Athletic will be played at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the game between Liverpool and Blackburn will be played at 5:15 p.m.  Proceed by points.  Since the time gap between these three games was too small, there was no time to go and see it. Liverpool's head coach Benitez took the players to watch the strong dialogue between Manchester United and Arsenal during lunch.  Arsenal was at home and had just tied with Liverpool on the road. The morale and confidence of the players were simply overwhelming. After the kick-off, Arsenal launched a full-court press and launched a counterattack after grabbing the ball. Manchester United was very upset after the start.  of passivity.  However, Manchester United has more experience than Liverpool. Although they were passive, they did not lose the ability to counterattack, and relied on counterattacks to reduce the pressure on the defense. They slowly recovered a little from the passive situation and made up for it in the first half.  time to break the deadlock.  At that time, Manchester United defender Brown passed the ball, C-Ronaldo made a low pass from the right, Rooney's shot from 6 yards in front was deflected into the near corner, and Galas was unable to tackle it.  This is Rooney's ninth goal in the past eight games, his fifth league goal this season, and his sixth goal against Arsenal.  Arsenal's youth team was also unambiguous. They immediately equalized the score at the beginning of the second half. Ebou made a pass. Adebayor's shot from 6 yards before the point was blocked by Van der Sar. Sagna was on the right side of the penalty area.  A pass was passed near the baseline, and Fabregas shot a low shot from 10 yards into the lower left corner of the net. This was his 10th goal this season, and his scoring rate was as high as Chen Yu.  Arsenal still took the initiative on the field, but it was the veteran Manchester United who scored first. In the 82nd minute, Manchester United forward Saha made a wonderful pass from the left. Evra broke into the left side of the penalty area and passed again. At this time, C-  Ronaldo scored 6 yards into the empty goal at high speed. This was his third goal against Arsenal in an away game.  The goal in the 82nd minute can basically determine the outcome of the game. Manchester United's victory was not pleased by Liverpool. They actually wanted Arsenal to win because they knew that young people were not durable enough to keep pace with Arsenal.  It is easy for Liverpool to get rid of them, but it is not reassuring to be followed by a cunning team like Manchester United.  But Arsenal nowWith such a strong head, although Arsenal conceded another goal in the 82nd minute, Arsenal did not panic. They still used their skillful cooperation to deal with Manchester United, and often changed their rhythm. Sometimes short passes penetrated, and sometimes they suddenly turned into long passes and lobs.  The pass made it difficult for Manchester United's players to defend.  Manchester United was really tenacious and persisted until the end of regular game time without giving Arsenal a chance to score.  But just when the fourth official raised the stoppage time sign, Arsenal suddenly scored. At this time, 91 minutes had passed. Walcott made a cross from the right side of the penalty area, and Galas made a cross from the left side of the penalty area.  The shot from outside the edge was saved by Van der Sar within the goal line, but the linesman made the correct judgment and determined that the goal was valid. Arsenal tied the score at 72:2.  Such a score is something neither Arsenal nor Manchester United want to accept, but there is no time in the game. No matter how unwilling the two teams are, there is nothing they can do.  A draw between Arsenal and Manchester United is great news for Chelsea and Liverpool. Among the three relationships between victory, draw and loss, the best thing for Liverpool is a draw between Manchester United and Arsenal. They did not expect that Manchester United and Arsenal would actually fight.  draw.  Next is the game between Chelsea and Wigan Athletic. Although the Liverpool players have already gone to training and cannot pay attention, Liverpool coaches are still paying close attention to the situation of the game between Chelsea and Wigan Athletic.  Liverpool definitely hopes that Chelsea will also draw or lose, but now Grant seems to have found a way to coach Chelsea. Facing the tough Wigan Athletic, they relied on the goals of Lampard and Belletti to defeat Wigan 2:0.  Grant attended the press conference after the game and took the players to watch the game between Liverpool and Blackburn in the studio at Stamford Bridge.  Although Liverpool very much hopes that Arsenal and Manchester United can draw, now that the two teams have actually drawn, Liverpool's players feel a lot of pressure.  After the start of the game, Liverpool played very reservedly in the away game. After the start, they were suppressed by Blackburn. In the first thirty minutes of the game, Blackburn shot four times.  In these 30 minutes, Gerrard counterattacked after being intercepted. Dunn broke through Mascherano and Carragher at the front of Liverpool's penalty area and entered the penalty area. Reina saved the ball. Chen Yu continued to score in the penalty area.  The ball was brought down in the frontcourt, but the referee did not call a foul.  Chinese commentator Duan Xuan was surprised that Liverpool had such a difficult time, "Have Liverpool not rested yet? They have been resting for a week? Blackburn are not weak, but Liverpool actually defended them like Arsenal."  , This is too outrageous. In addition, did the referee today not have a card? Chen Yu was violated so many times, but he pretended not to see it. If this continues, Liverpool may have wasted the draw between Manchester United and Arsenal.  What an opportunity.¡±
