In the League Cup quarter-finals, Liverpool defeated Watford 2-1 away.
A goal was conceded in the opening 12 minutes, but in stoppage time in the first half, Crouch equalized for Liverpool, and then Gareth Bale took the lead for Liverpool in the 75th minute.
In the end, Liverpool eliminated Watford 2-1 and successfully advanced to the League Cup semi-finals.
Arsenal's luck was not so good, the Gunners lost 0-2 away to Burnley.
Wenger was furious after the game and was very dissatisfied with the team's performance, believing that this was not the performance of a strong Premier League team.
For Wenger's anger, the outside world basically agrees, because the league has no hope, and don't think about the Champions League. The real thing that can be used to cover the shame is the League Cup and the FA Cup.
Now that they have been eliminated from the League Cup, Arsenal can only do their best to play the FA Cup, otherwise this season will be doomed to be empty-handed.
In addition to Liverpool and Burnley, Manchester United and Derby County also stood out from the four teams that entered the semi-finals. These four teams competed against each other, and the two-legged semi-final match will be held in January.
...
On the afternoon of December 5th, in the sixteenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool played away to Blackburn.
Although it was an away game, Liverpool performed exceptionally brave in this game. At the beginning of the game, they launched an offensive against the visitors, and in the 19th minute, Kuyt made a direct pass, Yang Yang succeeded in anti-offside, and single-handedly passed the opponent's goalkeeper Robinson. Score.
Afterwards, you and I went back and forth, and the fight was lively.
After the second half, Liverpool continued to increase their offensive efforts.
In the 69th minute, Gerrard made a cross from the right and Kuyt was blocked by the defender. Xavi Alonso followed up and shot from a long distance, which once again pierced Blackburn's goal.
Ten minutes later, it was another pass from Kuyt from the right. After Yang Yang passed Warnock, he hit the goal from a small angle and scored twice, helping the team to expand the score to 3-0.
After that, Blackburn recovered a goal from Santa Cruz, but in the 95th minute of Liverpool, Yang Yang made continuous passes from the left. He wanted to pass to Gerrard, who was inserted later, but was attacked by goalkeeper Robinson. He shoveled out, but Yang Yang followed and passed it to Gerrard again. This time, the Liverpool captain pushed directly to the empty goal.
Liverpool beat Blackburn 4-1.
Yang Yang, who just successfully won the European Ballon d'Or, scored twice and contributed an assist to win the game.
But Yang Yang himself said in an interview with the media after the game that scoring goals is not his happiest thing.
"I said before that the coaching staff adjusted the training for me. I hope to be able to maintain my form steadily in December and the following winter break. This game is undoubtedly a good start. I am satisfied with my current state and performance.”
...
Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 away to continue to lead the Premier League table.
Chelsea beat Bolton 2-0 away.
Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home.
Manchester United beat Sunderland 1-0 at home.
Among them, the performance of the Red Devils in this round was not ideal. It was not until the 91st minute that Carrick shot a long shot, which coincidentally hit the defender and was refracted. Vidic was close range. Refill hit.
It can be said that this goal is full of luck and coincidence.
But looking at the whole game, Manchester United had 85% of the ball possession, shot 31 times, but never broke the opponent's goal. Cristiano Ronaldo played completely abnormal, especially when emotional. In terms of control, he deliberately kicked people again in the first half, which seriously affected his image.
In the 66th minute, the Portuguese was also injured.
The outside world has interpreted this, believing that Cristiano Ronaldo's mentality was completely unbalanced after losing the European Ballon d'Or, and his performance this season has not returned to the peak of last season, which has made him recently performance is even worse.
Ferguson, on the other hand, believes that he needs to give the Portuguese some time to adjust and recover.

As soon as the two left the airport, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the French media and fans.
Just in the Premier League, he won the Player of the Month in November, and Yang Yang won the Best of the Month for three consecutive months. He seems to be in a very good state of mind, smiling throughout, and unconditionally meeting the requirements of the media and fans.
The clothes of Yang Yang and Su Ye for the award ceremony are still sponsored by their sponsor Armani, and this time they will be broadcast live to the world.
Newcomer and new style. After Dennis Chaumier took office, he made a lot of changes to the awarding process. For example, this brand-new Golden Globe Award was the first time Yang Yang saw it, and it was not sent to Yang Yang's house in advance to take pictures as before. .
When Yang Yang stepped into the venue, he immediately felt the weight of this trophy.
When Dennis Schomill asked Yang Yang with a smile what it was like to receive this award for the second time, Yang Yang smiled and said, "This year's one is a little heavier and more beautiful than the one in my home that has been in my collection for a year. To update some."
This joking sentence made Xiaomir and the others burst into laughter.
Following this topic, Dennis Shomill also mentioned his visit to Yang Yang's house a week ago, and mentioned that there is a special room in Yang Yang's house for collecting trophies and medals.
"When I walked into that room, I was really surprised. There were a lot of trophies and medals in the window, some from the Eredivisie, some from the Premier League. I couldn't believe it. It was a 20-year-old. The honors and trophies collected by the two-year-old professional players." Shawmill was quite shocked when he recalled it.
The TV host also jokingly said that when Yang Yang moves in the future, it is estimated that just to move these trophies, he will have to hire a special moving company, which will take a lot of effort.
Yang Yang explained this, thinking that collecting these trophies is a kind of spur and encouragement to himself.
"Whenever I feel tired, or I feel bad, I will walk into that room." Yang Yang said lightly, "Whenever I walk to a trophy or a medal, I can walk into that room. I vividly recall the experience of getting this trophy and medal and the hard work I put into it."
"Whenever this happens, I keep telling myself that I'm not good enough and I can do better."
After Xiaomir and everyone in the studio heard it, they all applauded.
French football magazines and TV stations also specially created a surprise for Yang Yang. This time they specially invited Van Basten, the famous Dutch star who won the European Ballon d'Or, to come to the scene in person, which surprised Yang Yang.
I haven't seen Van Basten for a long time. Although it's only been over two years, it feels like a long time.
Van Basten took the initiative to hug Yang Yang and was full of praise for Yang Yang, saying that in his mind, Yang Yang is the strongest player in football today, "In fact, from the first time I saw him, I knew He's an extraordinary player."
"At that time he was still very young, but from him I saw an energy, an energy to strive for the top and never give up easily. At that time, I decided that he would become an incredible player, but I definitely did not. It makes me proud and proud to think that he has achieved what he is today."
Van Basten also said that Yang Yang is still very young, "He is only 22 years old and is about to usher in his best golden years. I hope he can continue to work hard, next year, the year after, and even every year after that. , I want to be able to see him standing here."
Yang Yang was also very happy with the wishes from Van Basten, and hugged the senior who was also a teacher and a friend.
At Ajax, Van Basten really taught him a lot.
In addition to the surprise brought by Van Basten, the scene also specially video-connected Van Gaal in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, Benitez in Liverpool, and Ronald Koeman, the former head coach of Yang Yang. , and even John Repp, the head coach when he was in Almere, appeared on the big screen one by one.
In addition, some famous celebrities invited by the organizers also appeared on the scene through video, and sent their blessings to Yang Yang for winning the award. The most interesting of them was the group of teammates Yang Yang had in Ajax.
Ibrahimovic even arrogantly clamored in the video to ask Yang Yang to keep the throne more stable.
"You wait for me, I will overthrow you next year!"
Yang Yang was very moved by this, and he kept thanking everyone for their love and support.
"I am a very emotional person. I am very moved to receive your praise and support from you. At the same time, I also promise to all those who choose me, support me and love me that I will do my best and play hard. Do well in every game, work hard to improve your strength, and never let down everyone's high expectations!"
"I hope that as Marko said, next year, the year after, the year after, and even every year in the future, I will be able to stand here, and I will make unremitting efforts for this!"
Yang Yang's announcement caused thunderous applause from the scene.
This fully represents his determination and fighting spirit. It proves that even though he has won two European Ballon d'Or awards, he is still full of hunger and enterprising spirit. of people disappointed.
And there is one in front of Yang Yang, and that is the famous French football legend Michel Platini.
The former French legend, the current UEFA President appeared in the video link just now, and he encouraged Yang Yang to continue his efforts and strive to come back next year.
In the history of the European Ballon d'Or, only one person has achieved three consecutive championships, and that is Platini.
And now, Yang Yang has won two consecutive terms. With his current state and performance, I believe that as long as he keeps on working hard, it is not impossible for him to win three consecutive terms.
Tie Platini's three-peat of the Ballon d'Or, which will undoubtedly once again cause the world's shock.
