Football King Bale

　　 Tottenham, tied by the relegation team, did not have time to hurt the spring and autumn. On the second day of the game, they joined the whole team and went north to Manchester to prepare for the first round of the League Cup semi-final match on the evening of the 19th.

　　 The reason why Tottenham went north to Manchester three days in advance is because the club has already negotiated with Manchester United and borrowed the venue of Manchester United's Carrington training base before the game.

Although Tottenham eliminated Manchester United in the quarter-finals, this will not affect the relationship between Tottenham and Manchester United, as well as the friendship between Ferguson and Lao Lei. Manchester United's rivals in the same city, they naturally do not mind helping Tottenham.

　　Two days of training at the Carrington base made Tottenham players feel the gap between their own training base and Manchester United. This comprehensive training center covering nearly 30 hectares is definitely the world's top training center.

Although all of Manchester United’s echelons are also training in this training center, there is not much intersection between Tottenham players and them, because the training area leased by Manchester United to Tottenham is relatively independent, separated from the Manchester United echelon training area by buildings and green belts. There will be no impact on each other.

　　………………

　　After two days of training, Tottenham also ushered in the first match day of the League Cup semi-finals.

　　 This is Tottenham's second encounter with Manchester City after a month. Although the time interval is not far away, the Manchester City team in front of them has changed a lot.

　　 Of course, the biggest change is that this Manchester City coach has been replaced!

The Italian's record after taking over Manchester City is still good. The four league records are three wins and one loss. They are 2:0 at home to the Potter Stoke City, 3:0 at the Wolves, and 4:1 at home against Blackburn. , And 0:2 away to Toffee Everton. In addition, they also beat Mi Bao 1:0 away in the FA Cup.

　　 Because this is Manchester City's first semi-final in the domestic cup since 1981, it only takes two games to advance to the League Cup final. Manchester City attaches great importance to this game. However, for many reasons, many players in Mancini's hands were unable to play.

　　 The first is Paraguayan striker Roque Santa Cruz who suffered a leg injury soon after the last round of the league. The possibility of new aid Patrick Vieira playing is also denied by the head coach.

　　 Defenders Wayne Richards, Joe Leone Lescott, Nedum Onoha were all injured. Midfielder Michael Johnson has already been reimbursed for the season, and last season's best player Stephen Erlan may not be able to start, the Irish can at least start the game from the bench.

　　The other two players who could not compete were Emmanuel Adebayor who had left England for the Africa Cup and defender Kolo Touré.

Tottenham's side is Lao Lei's favorite 442 formation recently, goalkeeper No. 1 Gomez, four defenders are Basson, Dawson, Ledley King and Joel Luca, young left-back Danny Rose The previous two Premier League games performed poorly and did not get a starting opportunity today. The quad in the midfield is in a diamond shape. After Palacios dragged, Modric moved forward and Bell and Lennon separated. The double forward is a combination of Crouch and Defoe. Robbie Keane is not on the big list by Lao Lei. It is said that he is already contacting the team to seek a transfer or loan.

　　………………

Because Tottenham were tied by Hull City in the last game, Bell didn’t get a chance to draw, and Bell only had 11 experience cards left, including 3 Ronaldo experience cards and two Gerrard experience cards. In addition, David James, Fanny, Scholes, Drogba, Pires and Rooney have one experience card each.

　　 In this game, after deducting C Ronaldo and Gerrard's experience card to continue to remain, Bell has few options. Until the game started, Bell finally decided to choose to use Pire's experience card.

　　 The former Arsenal midfielder is a versatile player. Any position in the midfield can be competent, but the best is the left wing, which is more in line with Bell's position in this field.

As a direct contrast between the top two Premier League players in the same period, Pires is no worse than Giggs in overall ability. Giggs is known for his speed, excellent dribbling and flexibility, but he does not pass and shoot. Not great. Pires is different. His dribbling is not inferior to Giggs, but his speed is not so good, and his flexibility is slightly inferior, but he has a clear advantage in passing and shooting.

　　Because of the experience card in the midfield, only Scholes and Gerrard are left, so Bell did not exchange the two-star experience card.

　　 After the game started, both sides played very positively, but in the end Tottenham scored the first goal.

In the 17th minute of the game, Tottenham midfielder Modric made a diagonal pass to the right. Lennon passed Bellamy and passed. Defoe grabbed the front point, but his shot was deflected after hitting Given. Bell, who plugged in at high speed, hit the ball into the empty goal at close range.

　　However, when the first half of the game was nearing the end, Manchester City set off a counterattack craze and equalized the score in the 44th minute.

　　 At that time, Manchester City made a breakthrough on the right side of Tottenham. Bellamy wiped Joel Luca near the penalty area. The Croatian chose to put Bellamy down on the ground. The referee on duty showed a penalty kick to the home team Manchester City while showing a yellow card to Joel Luca.

　　 Seeing that the first half of the game was about to end, the team was awarded a penalty. This made Tottenham players very dissatisfied. The team goalkeeper Gomez even spoke poorly to the referee and was also issued a topaz card.

　　After some frustration, the referee suppressed the emotional Tottenham player and let Manchester City take the penalty.

　　Tevez took a penalty and Manchester City equalized the score at the end of the first half. The Argentinian ran to celebrate after scoring a goal.

　　 Soon, the first half of the game was over, the two sides returned to the dressing room.

　　………………

　　 For the first half of the game, Lao Lei was quite satisfied, so during the halftime break, he did not adjust the team lineup, just made some tactical requirements.

　　In the field, Mancini's premise to the midfield, Compagni appeared on the pass of Sabaletta, kicked the ball to the left of the penalty area.

　　 In the contest of speed, Bassong lost to Tevez. The Argentine beast grabbed Bassoon and pushed the ball into the Tottenham goal.

　　 As for the Champions League (third league) championship won in 1999 and the British championship championship won in 2002, it is not so much an honor as a record of the team's sinking.

　　 as an important force in the long-term battle in the English top league, actually won the second league championship and the third league championship. What does this mean?
