The League Cup final is looming, but there is no war of words between the two sides regarding this game.
Newcastle United's head coach Alan Pardew seems very low-key and doesn't talk much about his opponents. When he does talk about it, it's all praise.
He seemed to treat the Liverpool reserve team as the Liverpool first team.
Martin O'Neill's side naturally believes that Newcastle United is a very strong opponent.
Anyway, both sides choose to say nice things. I don’t know if they really think so from the bottom of their hearts, or if they are just trying to confuse their opponents.
But everyone agrees with what Alan Pardew said.
In any case, Liverpool's reserve team has proven their ability with their previous performance, and they have won the respect of most people.
So even if Alan Pardew is more cautious, no one will laugh at him.
For the Liverpool reserve team, perhaps this is the most severe challenge and test. After all, in last season's FA Cup final, although Chelsea were strong, they were proud and underestimated their opponents. So in the end they lost to the Liverpool reserve team, which was their own fault.
This time Newcastle United did not underestimate the enemy.
With both sides playing their best, strength will definitely become the deciding factor in the outcome.
In terms of strength, even if Chen Yingxiong is added to the Liverpool reserve team, they may not be Newcastle United's opponents.
So what can they rely on to win?
Losing the mystery of the past and being thoroughly studied, the Liverpool reserve team may only be able to pray that God is on their side during the game.
No one thought that the Liverpool reserve team would also use the tactics of the first team, focusing on matching Chen Yingxiong's left foot.
Some people thought of Chen Yingxiong's left foot, but then they all thought that it was impossible for Chen Yingxiong to continue to use his left foot in the reserve team. Because the left foot requires the cooperation of the whole team, the reserve team obviously does not have this condition.
So Newcastle United lost their last chance to prepare for the game.

The twin towers of the old Wembley Stadium are gone. Today's Wembley Stadium is marked by an arch that is 133 meters high and 315 meters long. At night, the arch is like a beautiful rainbow bridge in the night sky, mirroring the famous giant Ferris wheel "London Eye" not far away. Of course, the role of an arch is not just decoration. Its actual purpose is to use dozens of steel cables to fix the northern roof of Wembley Stadium and 60% of the southern roof. In this way, the new Wembley does not need to be supported like the old stadium. Living under the roof ensures that the 90,000 seats in the new Wembley will have a very good view of the game from every angle.
Anyone who has been to a game knows how painful it is to be in a bad position, which means you have spent money and cannot enjoy a wonderful game with others. This situation is not uncommon in traditional English golf courses. Because most English stadiums have many pillars supporting the roof. If you're unlucky enough to get a seat behind the pillars, you won't see anything. Some courts have very low ceilings, so if you are on the top floor, you will only be able to see a very narrow part of the court.
But at the new Wembley Stadium. There are no such problems.
This is the top five-star golf course in the UK.
After the stadium was rebuilt, its historical status in English football was still intact.
Being able to play in such a stadium is still a dream for many English players.
Without Chen Yingxiong, these reserve team players in Liverpool don't know how long they would have to wait. Maybe until they retire, some of them may not have the chance to play here.
But now, they can openly use the modern dressing rooms at Wembley Stadium and step onto the court to feel the softness and toughness of the turf.
They are doing their last warm-up before the game at Wembley Stadium.
There were already many fans from both sides sitting in the stands.
The red Liverpool fans and the black and white Newcastle United fans are clearly distinct. You can tell them apart at a glance. They occupy almost 80% of the stadium. The remaining 20% are reserved for sponsors, some are reserved for the families of FA officials and staff, and some are sold to neutral fans.
Originally, games like the League Cup final had little appeal to neutral fans, let alone neutral fans, even to sponsors and the FA themselves. Everyone knows that the League Cup is a piece of cake. The real giants don't care about it at all, so they just throw it to other small teams.
But since the emergence of Chen Yingxiong and the Liverpool reserve team, the League Cup has been full of gimmicks.
This can be seen from the ratings and attendance of the previous few Liverpool reserve games.
All top the list.
Now that the Liverpool reserve team has reached the final, this has pushed this gimmick to the extreme.
Many people are concerned about the fate of Liverpool's reserve team. Will they lose to the powerful Newcastle United in the final? Or will he tenaciously defeat Newcastle United and create a legend?
Therefore, not only fans from both sides cheered for this game, but even neutral fans chose to watch the game live out of curiosity.
The 20% of tickets have been sold out long ago, and today at Wembley Stadium, all 90,000 seats were occupied!

"It's really spectacular..." The players of Liverpool's reserve team couldn't help but glance curiously into the stands during the warm-up. Then they will be frightened by what they see.
It’s not like they haven’t seen the stands at Wembley Stadium filled. They watched it in front of the TV on weekdays. Sometimes they also came to the stands of Wembley Stadium as spectators and watched it in the stands.
But never once did I feel as shocked as I did today.
They are in the stadium below, with 90,000 people high in the stands. Even if those people do nothing, shout, or make any sound, just looking at them can make them feel tremendous pressure and momentum. They rushed at them from all directions, trying to pin them to the ground unable to move. Let alone what it looks like now.
The various noises intertwined together, bringing huge pressure to them.
Even Carlton Cole, who has seen the world in the reserve team, seems a little shy, let alone others.
Only Chen Yingxiong was the calmest among them all. Because he no longer knows how many games he has played in this stadium.
The annual Community Shield is played here, the League Cup final and the FA Cup final are played here. He has three such opportunities every year.
And he is not an English player and has no other special feelings about Wembley Stadium.
Treat it with a normal mind, it is just a larger stadium.
Clark also noticed the performance of Liverpool's reserve players. They seemed to be frightened by the momentum and pressure and were distracted.
He shouted loudly, asking the players to warm up.
"If you only want to play the League Cup final for ten minutes, you can just look up and watch it all! If you still want to finish this final, then you can warm up for me!"
This kind of shouting is quite effective.
After all, no one has to come to the finals and only play for a few minutes before getting injured due to insufficient warm-up.
Now everyone abandoned their distracting thoughts and began to warm up seriously.
※※※
After the warm-up, everyone returned to the locker room.
Waiting for the final moment to come.
Head coach Martin O'Neill paced back and forth in the locker room, waiting for each player to return.
When everyone returned, he motioned to assistant coach Clark to close the door to the locker room.
The noise was shut out.
This five-star stadium is different. The sound insulation effect of the locker room is much better.
"Guys, this is a special and difficult game for you." Martin O'Neal didn't talk nonsense, but got straight to the point. "The experience of the reserve team playing in the FA Cup final last year does not apply to you. Because you and them are two completely different teams. You have even changed the players... So for you and me, this is not the same. It is a brand new experience. But this is not a reason for you to back down! Think about how much pressure you have withstood along the way? What kind of results have you achieved... You have reached this point as a reserve team, Only you yourself know how difficult it is!”
Hearing the boss say this, many players in the reserve team had tears in their eyes.
Because this journey is indeed much more difficult for them than their opponents.
In order to meet Chen Yingxiong's requirements and to be qualified to participate in the League Cup with Chen Yingxiong, each of them has made several times, ten times, dozens of times, or even a hundred times of effort. They had never thought before that the training intensity of the reserve team would even exceed that of the first team...
What day is this!
"But you all persisted, didn't you? That's why you are qualified to stand in this finals! So there is no need to be nervous or worried at all. You have to know what is behind you! It is all the hard work and sweat you have put in! You are more qualified to stand here than your opponents!"
At this point, Martin O'Neill glanced at Chen Yingxiong. Chen Yingxiong stood up and said to his teammates with a smile: "Guys, you performed great! You have long been qualified to be my Chen Yingxiong. Teammates, you are also qualified to be part of this legend!"
Finally someone couldn't hold it back and cheered.
Then more people cheered, they raised their arms, shouted, and stood up from their seats.
"Beat Newcastle United!"
"Win the League Cup!"
"We want to be legends!!"
