Chapter 198: Still Not Up After All

,

spn Li Yu is also worried about the club's current financial situation. To be honest, no one could have imagined that such a big Manchester United would reach such a stage.

However, these issues are beyond the control of the players. The club owner did not say anything, and it was not convenient for him as a footballer to say anything. When asked by the media, whether the club would consider transfers due to its poor financial situation.

Li Yu answered simply: "Transfer? Never thought about it!"

Manchester United's No. 9's answer obviously made Chelsea very sad. They had been building momentum before, trying to contact Li Yu's agent to persuade the players to step up the transfer, but now it seems that there is no chance at all!

Chelsea certainly knows how difficult it is to operate Li Yu, especially if the players are not cooperative, it is almost an impossible task. Manchester United will not let Li Yu go to a competitor for the league championship. This is not

The question of how much it cost, who did it, maybe the passionate Manchester United fans can give you a death threat.[

But Chelsea is not willing to give in. There is no way for the big boss Abramovich to personally name the players he wants. It won't work if he doesn't work hard!

There is definitely no hope before the winter transfer window is closed. Then wait for the next summer transfer. Originally, 50 million is a tentative offer. Let's look at Manchester United's reaction and the media's reaction.

Also look at the reactions of the players themselves.

Fortunately, Manchester United's financial problems were replaced by the League Cup semi-finals, which is a good thing for Manchester United.

Manchester City faced Manchester United at home in the first leg.

It is not difficult to see from the other two semi-final teams that whoever advances to the finals, Manchester United or Manchester City, will basically win this year's League Cup.

Although Blackburn and Villa are not soft persimmons, they are definitely not strong opponents.

Ferguson is very satisfied with the semi-final schedule of first away and then home. Facing strong rising opponents, being able to retain a back-up is very powerful for today's Manchester United.

Manchester United has never been comfortable this season. The defense has been injured one after another, and the forwards are also uneasy. Rooney has been injured for a long time, and there are also many injuries in the midfield. Fortunately, Li Yu has always been very healthy. Such a player can

Going to a competitor, Ferguson simply despised Chelsea's stupid behavior. What was he thinking?

This Tuesday's League Cup semi-finals will usher in the Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City. This focus game, which was postponed due to bad weather, has been fermented for nearly two weeks and has further aroused the interest of fans and the media.

Interested. Manchester United's official website also invited team legend Irwin to give an outlook on this game.

Irvine believes that although the League Cup has traditionally been a stage for young players to train, this game is of great importance and it is an away game, so "Manchester United will see more experienced players on the court", and Manchester City coach Manci

Nigeria will have the strongest lineup. Given that Manchester City remains unbeaten at home this season and has won five consecutive games in the last five home games, "I think Ferguson will be satisfied with a draw."

Alan Hansen, the former Liverpool star and current bb football commentator, said that this derby will put Ferguson in a dilemma in terms of formation. In

This is the first time Manchester City has entered the domestic cup semi-finals since 1981. Boyata and Wright-Phillips rotated the starting lineup, Kompany moved forward into the midfield, and Tevez faced the old club. Manchester United rotated 4 people, pulling

Phil, Fletcher, Diouf and Giggs entered the starting lineup.

In line with the predictions of the media before the game, Ferguson indeed replaced Li Yu in the starting lineup with Diouf, and Manchester United's No. 9 sat on the bench for this game.

Everyone believes that if it is a draw, it is very likely that Li Yu will not appear in the first round. Manchester United's No. 9 has been too busy in recent games!

Both sides seemed very cautious after the start, and neither side had any intention of speeding up the tempo of the game. In the 11th minute, Evra broke through and passed from the left. Kompany blocked it before Rooney, and Evra followed up on the left side of the penalty area and fired again.

partial.

Manchester United then got their first corner kick, but the Manchester City defender made an easy clearance. Manchester United took the lead in the 17th minute. Evra passed a diagonal pass to the right. Valencia passed Bellamy and passed in. Rooney's S Literature Network still deflected towards the goal.

, Giggs scored an empty goal from close range.

A perfect start, a perfect Welsh veteran, and Giggs stepped up and scored a great goal.

1:0, Manchester United leads the home team Manchester City at the City Stadium, the home of their rivals in the same city.

However, the score did not last until the end of the first half. Manchester City equalized the score in the 42nd minute. Rafael pulled Bellamy down on the left side of the penalty area and was given a yellow card. Van der Sar also received a yellow card for delaying time. Tevez scored a penalty kick and Argentina

People celebrate after scoring a goal.

The Argentinian's move was met with huge boos from Manchester United fans.

1:1, at the end of the first half, neither team had any advantage.

The game was at a deadlock, and Li Yu stayed in the field to warm up during the halftime break. All Manchester City fans thought that Li Yu would come on as a substitute after the start of the second half. They did not have a good impression on Manchester United's No. 9 Manchester City fans.

Li Yu's warm-up was spent with Manchester City fans booing from time to time.

Afterwards, Li Yu returned to the locker room. His own idea was to come on as a substitute. However, he did not expect that Ferguson did not replace Li Yu at the beginning of the second half, but let Manchester United No. 9 continue to sit on the bench.

superior.

Li Yu wanted to fight for it, but he still held back and didn't say it. The coach's arrangement was also out of good intentions. Although he knew that there was nothing wrong with his body and the physical report could prove it, the old man still put him on the bench.

It is a kind of love and respect.

After thinking about it, Li Yu walked back to the court and sat on the bench.

In the 49th minute, Brown made a long pass and Boyata was out of position. Rooney broke into the right side of the penalty area and shot from a small angle but was blocked by Given. One minute later, Brown passed the header with a header. Rooney lacked power in his header from outside the penalty area.

Given easily confiscated. In the 53rd minute,

Valencia fouled Tevez, Garrido passed a free kick from the left, and Kompany's header in front of the penalty area was deflected. After 3 minutes, Manchester City received 4 consecutive corner kicks, including Richards' sideways hook in front of the penalty area.

She was the most threatening, but the ball was blocked by Evra.

In the 58th minute, Barry passed back from the right side of the penalty area, and Kompany missed from 30 yards. One minute later, Rooney made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, and Giggs' header from a small angle was saved by Given. In the 62nd minute,

, Giggs pass, Rooney 2

The slingshot from 5 yards was slightly higher than the crossbar. Manchester City took the lead in the 65th minute. Van der Sar punched out a corner kick. Zabaleta headed into the right side of the penalty area. Kompany made a pass. Tevez grabbed Everest from close range.

Before pulling, he scored twice with a header.

2:1! Manchester City overtook the score.

After Li Yu conceded the ball, he glanced at Ferguson on the bench who was standing on the sidelines.

Although the old man didn't react much, he chewed gum significantly faster. Was he thinking? Or was he a little anxious?

Anyway, Ferguson's mood was fluctuating, and Li Yu also felt that it was time to play, so he waited for the head coach to turn around and greet him to warm up.[

At this moment, the TV broadcast camera was also focused on Li Yu on the bench, trying to capture the scene of Li Yu standing up and getting ready to play.

The media was disappointed to find that Ferguson did not take any action.

It is rare that the old Scotsman, who has always refused to admit defeat, accepted such a score and accepted a 2:1 defeat?

Absolutely not. Ferguson's roar on the sidelines also proved this. The Manchester United boss did not want to accept such a score. He was asking the players on the Manchester United field to increase the speed of the attack and press the attack. Ferguson chose to believe in the players on the field.

.

Soon someone finally stood up from the bench and noticed the movement on the Manchester United bench. The camera immediately cut to it. It was just Irving, not Li Yu.

Subsequently, Owen replaced Diouf, and Scholes also came on to replace Valencia. Manchester United replaced two people in a row, but their No. 9 was still sitting on the bench.

Li Yu already knew in his heart that he would not have a chance to play in this game. He really didn't know whether to thank the head coach for his kindness or to complain about this arrangement. With a helpless smile, Li Yu could only become a spectator.

In the 79th minute, Tevez was replaced by Benjani, and the audience burst into applause.

In the 80th minute, Irving passed the ball, and Rooney broke into the left side of the penalty area and his poke was saved by Given. De Jong fouled Evra and was given a yellow card. In the 85th minute, Sylvinho replaced Wright-Phillips. In the 85th minute, Sylvinho replaced Wright-Phillips.

In the 87th minute, Evra made a pass from the left side of the penalty area, Valencia was far away

The point was wide, but he was already offside. Then Scholes and Diouf replaced Valencia and Rafael successively. In the 92nd minute, Giggs made a pass from the left, and Rooney shot low to the lower left from 16 yards.

The corner was saved by Given. Giggs took a corner kick and Diouf's header went wide.

At the end of the game, Manchester City defeated Manchester United 2:1 in the first round of the League Cup at the City Stadium.

Li Yu heard the whistle and quickly disappeared into the player tunnel. It was not like he was caught by the media asking some idiotic questions about whether he should play or not. He was not in that mood now. He lost to his rival in the same city. Li Yu was a little unconvinced.

, also felt that it was necessary to find an opportunity to talk to Ferguson, because he did not need to rotate at all. Although it is a bit sensational, in fact, Li Yu's body can handle all kinds of games as long as there are no injuries.

As soon as the smoke on the field cleared, various reports surrounding this game came flooding in.

The most exciting thing is the breaking news about Manchester United signing Tevez.

The FA said it would investigate the "middle finger incident" involving Manchester United captain Gary Neville during the Manchester City derby in the Carabao Cup.

At that time, Tevez rushed to the sidelines to celebrate after scoring a penalty kick for Manchester City. Neville, who was warming up there, was photographed raising his middle finger towards Tevez, and the Argentine responded with a "shut up" gesture.

.The FA confirmed that they will investigate this matter to see whether disciplinary action should be taken.

This is not the first time Neville has caused trouble. After Owen scored in the first Manchester City derby this season, he rushed to the Manchester City fans to provoke and celebrate. That time, the FA only gave Neville a warning, but this time he may do so.

Issue penalties.

Neville and Tevez had a quarrel before the game. The Manchester United captain told the media that letting Tevez go was a completely correct and wise move. Manchester City teammate Zabaleta revealed that these words completely inspired Tevez.

Weiss' determination for revenge.

"Tevez was irritated by those words before the game and became very energetic," Zabaleta said. "In fact, Manchester United fans knew that losing him was a huge loss and he was OK in the second leg.

Such an "outstanding" performance."

Coincidentally, Manchester United's forward Rooney was also found a topic to report by the media.

Manchester United lost 1-2 away to Manchester City. At the last moment of stoppage time, Rooney got the ball in the opponent's penalty area but was defended by two people. However, after getting a corner kick, Rooney became extremely angry and rushed to the court.

Roar. Where did Rooney's roar come from?

"Manchester City Evening News" gave the answer after the game: Rooney received too little support. Yes, he watched Tevez score 2 goals and then rest, but he could only be alone in the opponent's crowd tactics.

Fighting hard, Xiaopang couldn't contain his anger no matter what. However, looking at Manchester United's bench, maybe the Red Devils can only sigh, Manchester United No. 9!

Manchester United, which is known to be full of talents, is also in a shortage of strikers. Although Owen has performed a hat trick this season, he has too few shining points; the 22-year-old Diouf is obviously inexperienced. There are still 2 people in the Manchester United team.

The top strikers: Welbeck and Macheda can only be used as surprise players. It is obviously unrealistic to place hopes on these two players born in the 1990s.

Rooney only has Li Yu to look forward to, but the determined Ferguson put Manchester United's No. 9 on the bench. The possible reasons are all clear, but the fact that the game was lost still needs to be faced, Rooney

Without the support of Li Yu, the original threat cannot be exerted, which also needs to be considered.

In any case, there is still one more semi-final between the two rounds. Perhaps Ferguson's plan has taken into account the factor of defeat. A one-goal gap is not irreversible, but can also be reluctantly accepted.

The key is to perform as well as we should in the next round and defeat our rivals in the same city to advance to the finals. The next game will become a life-or-death battle.
