PDLP Chapter 72, Four Consecutive Caps, The League Cup Final!
Chapter 72, Four Consecutive Caps, The League Cup Final!
Chapter 72: Four consecutive hat matches, League Cup final!
It's different from other leagues.
There is no winter break in the Premier League.
So.
Even if the first half of the league is over.
Teams have already played each other for one round.
The game still has to go on.
Manchester City won the half-fix.
Pellegrini's team have shown great consistency.
Except for the loss to Manchester United.
They also had the last laugh in the competition against strong teams.
Victories over Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal respectively.
Aguero, the number one star, seems to have been stimulated by Li Ao.
18 league goals in 19 league matches!
If you don't look at Li Ao's performance.
Sergio Aguero is the most goal-efficient striker in the Premier League in the past five or six years, second only to Cristiano Ronaldo, who won the Ballon d'Or!
Cristiano Ronaldo scored 31 goals in the Premier League that season.
But this goal rate is not as high as Aguero's.
He Sheng Liang.
Aguero certainly doesn't know this dragon kingdom idiom.
But his mood must be like this now.
If there is no Li Ao.
Sergio Aguero is the most watched player in the Premier League this season.
And now.
Even if his goal efficiency is so high.
But compared with Li Ao, it seems... Some, but that's it.
After the nineteenth round of the league.
It's 2014.
A new year has arrived.
And Manchester United's first game in 2014.
It's the League Cup semi-final!!
Their opponent in the semi-finals was Chelsea.
Manchester United are sitting at home to face their opponents.
The winner will advance to the final of the League Cup.
It's different from other countries.
England have two cups.
One is the FA Cup and the other is the Quadron Cup.
Compared with the FA Cup, the League Cup is a bit chicken.
Although many managers have suggested cancelling the League Cup.
Give the players more time to rest.
But the English professional league league is in tall prospects.
Because the league was originally a product launched by the professional league to compete with the FA's FA Cup.
Cancellation of the League Cup.
Doesn't it mean that the professional leagues have bowed to the FA?
As for the physical and mental health of the players and so on.
They wouldn't care.
And for the team.
If Manchester United are going to play in the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho would probably consider rotating in the Carabao Cup, but since there is no need to play in the Champions League.
Then there is no need for rotation!
The League Cup is chicken ribs though.
But if you reach the final, you also have a chance to win the championship.
And before the start of the season, Li Ao shouted that the team wanted to win the treble.
Although Jose Mourinho, who is the head coach, did not take a position.
But if you can win the championship, why not?
So Manchester United are the main players. 、
Surprisingly.
Chelsea are also doing their best!
Thirteen minutes into the game, away Chelsea came out on top.
Centre-back John Terry took advantage of his height in the corner and nodded a header.
De Gea couldn't react to a close-range header, and although he made a save, it was already after the ball flew into the goal...
"Terry!!! He took the lead for Chelsea!~"!"
TChelsea's players celebrated at Old Trafford, leaving the United fans in a hurry.
But soon, there were boos from Manchester United fans over the pitch.
Liversea's players don't seem to realise that their goals have angered the league.
Just six minutes after they took the lead, United also won a corner, in this case Michael Carrick kicked the ball in front of the goal, and centre-back Bailly headed the ball into the Chelsea goal to equalize the score!
"Just six minutes later, United equalised! The same header from a corner!"
Huge cheers resounded at Old Trafford.
But the equalizer wasn't the end, it was just the beginning.
Just three minutes after the equaliser, Li Ao sent a second pass in front, Wilhelm cut inside, rubbed into the far corner in the big penalty area, and the ball flew into the Chelsea goal for the second time!
Manchester United are ahead! It took only three minutes to go from equalizer to lead!"
After taking the lead, United's attack was even more stormy, and Chelsea could not lift their heads, and they could only shrink their defense to avoid conceding more goals.
In the end, the first half ended with Chelsea leading 2-1 by a goal.
After a fifteen-minute intermission, the two sides fought again.
In the 54th minute, Wilhelm crossed from the wing, Li Ao nodded in front of the goal!
The header ability from Gerd Müller is at this point!
Two minutes later, United made a comeback, and on the counter-attack, Carrick split the ball into the ribs, where Li Ao received the ball and shot straight into the grass
Flew into the Chelsea goal!
々 Li Ao!! Brace! In just two minutes, Manchester United changed the score to 4-1! This game has ended early!!"
As Andy Gray said, the game ended prematurely, and despite more than thirty minutes left in the game, how could Manchester United, who were three goals ahead and playing at home, allow Chelsea to turn over on their turf?
Considering the fitness of the next players, Mourinho also made substitutions.
In the 59th minute, he replaced Wilhelm with Welbeck.
Ten minutes later, Luke Shaw was also replaced by Zaha and Ashley Young went to play full-back.
However, successive substitutions did not stop Manchester United's goalscoring momentum, or Li Ao, who was in excellent form today.
In the 72nd minute, he caught a mistake from his opponent and scored another goal!
” Li Ao!! Hat-trick! Hat-trick! Another hat-trick! Hat-trick for the fourth consecutive match!!"
Li Ao was also excited after the goal, and he rushed to the dugout and bench and plunged into the crowd.
Not long after Li Ao's goal, Mourinho ran out of his last substitution of the game, replacing Michael Carrick with Cleverley to give veteran Carrick a rest
In the end, Manchester United beat Chelsea 5-1 at home!!
Advance to the League Cup final!.
