The red and yellow cards in the Premier League are inseparable from the cup competition, and Balotelli was lucky this time, because Manchester City was just about to meet the quarter-finals of the League Cup, and as for the opponent, it happened to be Arsenal, the target of Manchester City's previous thirteen consecutive wins.

However, Arsenal has not paid much attention to the cup competition, and even the degree of lack of attention can crown the entire Premier League, Arsenal is the world of young players, and the cup is specially used by Wenger to train.

In this regard, Wenger has not been less sarcastic, but no matter what the outside world is, the professor is unmoved, what to do or how to do, and there will be no shortage of young players who should be on it.

The Carabao Cup is also a rare break for Manchester City's main players, and Van Basten also doesn't care about domestic cup competitions, but compared to Wenger to train young people, Van Basten is used to keep the substitutes in shape.

At 8pm on the last day of November, Van Basten showed up on time at Arsenal's home stadium at the Emirates Stadium with a group of players, and the two sides had to figure out the cup tie before the league match.

However, it is a pity that the managers of both sides have done a very thorough job, Wenger sent a pure young lineup, and even did not sit on the bench with a few main players, you can imagine how thorough Wenger is and how much he does not want to see the cup.

Van Basten is okay, although the pure substitute lineup is excluded, but Manchester City's substitute lineup is also quite strong, and in the end, the two sides fought for 90 minutes, relying on Adam Johnson and Minaar's goals to defeat Arsenal 2-0 away, and entered the League Cup semi-finals.

The other three teams in the last four are Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Cardiff City, just two Premier League and two Championship teams, and even the draw is even more interesting, Premier League vs Premier League, Championship vs Championship, Manchester City against Liverpool again, Crystal Palace vs Cardiff City.

And as the League Cup is coming to an end, the English FA Cup is beginning to be put on the agenda, and I don't know if Manchester City is too smooth in the league and the Champions Cup this season.

What makes people even more speechless is that the guest of this draw is a player from China, who once played for Everton midfielder Li Tie in the English Premier League, who could have become China's most successful overseas player, but was eventually knocked down by injury.

In addition to Li Tie, Sun Jihai was the first person in China to stay abroad before Li Feng appeared, and he played for Manchester City, but Manchester City at that time could not be compared with Manchester City now.

After the local tyrant became the owner, Sun Jihai's strength obviously could not keep up with the development of the team, coupled with the increase in age, Sun Jihai finally left Manchester City and returned to China for retirement in 10 years.

After Li Feng finally made the decision to transfer to Manchester City, Sun Jihai also called Li Feng, as an old-timer who has lived in Manchester for 6 years, Sun Jihai told Li Feng a lot of life things.

As for another domestic bigwig who has stayed in the Premier League, the two basically have little intersection, even if Li Feng appeared in the national team for a short time, the two have no intersection.

But since this is already the case, Manchester City has nothing to worry about, anyway, it has won the FA Cup last season, even if it loses, it is nothing, and this can make Manchester City more focused on the league and the Champions Cup, not to mention that Manchester City will not necessarily book, the Premier League giants, for the domestic league, in fact, do not pay much attention, but Wenger's Arsenal has done too thoroughly, so it has been criticized.

As we enter December, the first half of the Premier League season is finally coming to an end, with Manchester City facing Chelsea and Arsenal among their remaining four league opponents.

Although Manchester City have just taken away a win at the Emirates Stadium, it is clear to everyone that this game cannot be taken seriously, and the next time they meet Arsene Wenger and his Gunners, Manchester City will be the strongest squad for the Gunners.

However, before facing the Gunners, Manchester City need to make another trip to London, where they will need to face Arsenal's city-side rivals and City's other title rivals, Chelsea, of course, even in the 15th round of the league.

As for Manchester City's opponent in the fourteenth round is the Canary Norwich, Norwich is currently performing very well, ranking tenth in the Premier League, before this season, the canary has been in the cage, but in the past two years, the canary has some meaning of getting out of the cage, two consecutive jumps in two years, from the League One all the way to the Premier League.

Norwich's performance as a promoted team has been impressive, but it is difficult for Norwich to pose any threat to Manchester City, especially after the City players realise what the problem is.

With the match against Arsenal and the Manchester City players immediately returning to Manchester, Van Basten gave the players a day off to work and rest, and Van Basten would not skimp on a holiday as long as time permitted.

During this time, since he sent a text message that day, Li Feng did not look for Yun'er again, but Li Feng still had some understanding of the situation when he was young, after all, Kim Sung-eun had always been by their side, and they had no intention of driving people.

Judging from the feedback from Kim Sung-eun, Yuna seems to have let go of her suspicions about the members after receiving Li Feng's text message, but it is obvious that once something appears, it is not so simple to eliminate, but Li Feng also seems a little helpless about this.

He is ready, and this day is not far off, with the end of November, Girls' Generation's singing in South Korea is coming to an end.

Next, they will usher in a small holiday, and then start preparing for the next major award ceremonies, after all, it is the end of the year, and they will start to share the cake again, plus various song wars, and now because of the popularity of Girls' Generation, they are naturally indispensable.

So taking advantage of this holiday, Li Feng directly invited all of them to Manchester, and for this reason, Li Feng had already booked a special plane.

Time doesn't matter whether you care about it or not, it's always eternal, and on December 3, England time, Manchester City welcomed their opponents in the 14th round at home.

In this game, Van Basten did not have any selfishness, the main force was exhausted, although there is still a Champions Cup to play in midweek, but for Manchester City, who have already qualified from the group, the Champions Cup in midweek is not very important, and the same is true for Bayern Munich.

However, it was not a pure main force this season, Boateng had to rest again due to minor injuries in training, and this time Van Basten opted for Kolo Toure, which was also the first start of the league for the Ivory Coast centre-back this season.

There were no changes to the trio of midfielders Frenkie de Jong, Yaya Toure and Li Feng, with Dzeko returning to the starting line-up line flanked by Silva and Sergio Aguero. (To be continued.) )
