Chapter 353 FA Cup Qualification
The day after returning to Liverpool, Tang Wu and other teammates did not relax.
With Liverpool's current situation of fighting on the third front, the schedule is tightly arranged.
The most terrible thing is that the Red Army's bench is not deep enough, and there are no suitable substitutes at all.
It would be good if the League Cup and the FA Cup were eliminated from the beginning. Now that the FA Cup has reached the semi-finals, even Beitu will feel distressed if he gives up at this time.
What's more, with Chelsea's current state, there is almost no hope for the league title.The champion of the League Cup cannot satisfy the tricky appetite of the fans. In this way, the champion of the FA Cup is very precious.
On April 4th, Liverpool will return to the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff to compete with the Magpies Newcastle for the qualification for the FA Cup final.
Newcastle is Liverpool's current top four contender. Although it is not as threatening as Everton, this veteran Premier League powerhouse still has the strength to squeeze out Liverpool and Everton at the last minute of the league.
In this game, Newcastle faced the helplessness of injury reduction: Dyer and Bowyer were absent due to suspension, and Brambo and Janus were absent due to injury.After being eliminated by Sporting Lisbon in the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday, Robert, who had spoken badly again, was recalled by Souness and replaced by 18-year-old Nzobia in the starting line-up.
The team that advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League and the team that was eliminated in the semi-finals of the Europa League played an FA Cup semi-final. The gimmick was thrown out before the game started.
For Beitu, it was also the first time he led his team to participate in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.In order to win the Champions League, Beitu tried his best to arrange a set of semi-main lineup, but after patching it together, this "semi-main lineup" is almost the same as the main lineup.
Both sides are old acquaintances, and they fought together from the beginning of the game.
In the 19th minute, the Red Army took the lead in breaking the deadlock.
Babayaro made a mistake with a left tackle and Garcia made a low pass to the penalty area.Magpies defender Bomsson accidentally slipped when trying to intercept the ball. Of course, Cisse would not miss such a good opportunity and scored an 8-yard shot in front of the goal.It was the Frenchman's first goal since his retirement from injury last year.
Cisse's goal cheered Liverpool up and down. Everyone, including the Red Army fans, was taken aback for a moment, and then they were overjoyed.If Cisse can return to the way he was at the beginning of the season, what defensive counterattack will Liverpool play?
As the top scorer in Ligue [-] last season, Cisse has had ill-fated fate after coming to Liverpool this season.
His performance at the beginning of the league did not meet people's expectations. When he gradually adapted to the Premier League, his leg was broken again.
In other words, so far Cisse has not even had a chance to prove himself.
The KOP's requirements for Cisse are not as high as Irving's. They only hope that the French striker can be like the beginning of the season. Although he has not yet proved himself, he has been on the way to prove himself.
After a one-goal lead, the Red Army began to play offensive football. The poor Magpies found that the Red Army's opening three tricks did not stop with the passage of time.
Looking at the long passes from the backcourt, the Newcastle players were all frightened, for fear that if they were not careful, they would be caught by the Red Army's fast break.
Especially Tang Wu, who seemed to be crazy, after returning from Turin, Tang Wu's behavior was a bit unusual.
Not only has the amount of training increased on weekdays, but the amount of food has also begun to increase sharply.
According to Alonso's gossip, Tang Wu has recently been reading a cheat book on increasing endurance.
For this reason, other players of the Red Army also followed suit.
Not only would he be caught by Tang Wu on weekdays as a "strong man" to accompany him to run, but he would even accept Tang Wu's invitation after training to have another HAPPY time in the gym.
Now, these Red Army members who had been tortured by Tang Wu bit the bullet again and ran back and forth on the field.
But compared to the magpies who have never had such "training", they are much happier.
As long as the ball is confiscated by Tang Wu with both hands, he will immediately stand up and look for Cisse who is at the front.
Cisse, who has just come back, is also more energetic. He has not run on the football field for too long, and he runs like a beast in heat every time, running with the ball.
At the last minute of the first half, Liverpool extended their lead.
Cisse's rampage disrupted Newcastle's defense, Riise took the opportunity to outflank to the back point, received a pass from Cisse, and scored with a header.
With a two-goal lead, Liverpool returned to the dressing room.
In the second half, Souness replaced Faye, who had an ankle injury, with N'Zobia to strengthen the attack, and Baba Yaro, who exposed his defensive weakness on the left, was also replaced by O'Brien due to a thigh injury. Steven Taylor Move to the left back position.
But the leading Red Army still did not stop, and continued to expand the score in the 58th minute.Alonso rushed in front of Newcastle's goal and was intercepted by Bomsson when he was about to shoot, and the ball rolled to Finnan's feet.The latter gave Cisse a through ball, and the Frenchman scored the second goal of the game with a push from 16 yards.
Cisse, who scored twice, became more and more brave, and Beitu also hoped that Cisse's spirit would continue.
A young and energetic Cisse will not only bring goals and victories to Liverpool, but also disrupt Newcastle's entire team, allowing them to give up the competition for the top four as soon as possible.
It seems that the attack went too smoothly, and the members of the Red Army were a little smug.
After Newcastle re-kicked off, Shearer made a long pass from the right. Ameobi shot from a small angle on the right side of the penalty area after receiving the ball. The ball hit Tang Wu's instep and rebounded too much, and fell to the front of the rush again. at the foot of Shearer.Of course, the classic English center forward would not miss such an opportunity. He flew up with his right foot and volleyed the ball into the empty goal.
3 to 1, Souness replaced Kluivert in the 63rd minute and changed to 433, planning to let go.
But the "old" Dutch striker did not save the team like his peer Ruud van Nistelrooy. In the 75th minute of the game, Cisse wanted to have a two-on-one with Garcia on the side in front of the penalty area.But the Spanish winger feinted not only his teammates, but also his opponents.
Facing the Newcastle goalkeeper Shay, whose center of gravity had shifted, Garcia gave a nudge and sealed the victory with the simplest blow.
4 to 1, this is the 12th time in Liverpool's history that they have reached the FA Cup final.
On the other side of the stadium, Arsenal and Manchester United staged a "life and death battle".
For the Gunners, Ice Prince Bergkamp replaced Henry, who was absent due to injury, and the teenager Reyes started the striker. Centerback Campbell was eventually placed on the bench. Toure and Swiss teenager Senderos started the center back.
Manchester United's Heinze was still injured and was replaced by O'Shea. Brown replaced the injured Gary Neville.
The two sides failed to achieve each other in the 120-minute fierce battle, and in the end they could only rely on penalty kicks to decide the winner.
In the first round, Ruud van Nistelrooy made it easy, Lauren also scored a penalty kick; in the second round, Scholes' penalty kick was saved by Lehmann, Ljungberg scored a penalty kick, and Arsenal led 2-1 In the third round, Ronaldinho and Van Persie both scored penalty kicks; in the fourth round, Rooney and Ashley Cole both scored penalty kicks; in the fifth round, Roy Keane scored penalty kicks, but Gunners captain Vieira scored a key penalty to give Arsenal a 5-4 score to help the team advance to the final.
The Manchester United players who performed well after the game were very frustrated, and Ferdinand wept bitterly.Scholes, who missed the penalty kick, also squatted aside alone, weeping sadly.
The old man was chewing gum on the sidelines, looking thoughtful.
Everyone knows that although the season is not over yet, Manchester United has already ushered in an ending where all four players are empty.
Ferguson's mortal enemy, Liverpool, has not only won the League Cup, but also reached the semi-finals of the Champions League and the FA Cup final.
For Sir Alex, who has dedicated his life to "pulling Liverpool off the throne", this season is undoubtedly a sad and distressing season.
Ronaldinho stood on the sidelines, looking at the Arsenal players who were celebrating wildly in the stadium, feeling a bit of bitterness in his heart.
A few days ago, he received a small gift from Tang Wu, which was a plane ticket from Manchester to Turin; but now, he couldn't meet Tang Wu in the final of the FA Cup, and said in person A thank you.
For Ronaldinho, who has a strong self-esteem, this is something he can't let go of.
This is the reality, how can manpower reverse time?
Ronaldinho clenched his fists tightly, and he vowed that next season, he must let his name resound throughout the world.
