When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire Old Trafford stadium was transformed into a sea of celebration.

Manchester United, who played as much as possible, defeated Liverpool 1:0 with a goal from Ryan Giggs at home stadium, and then knocked Liverpool out of the League Cup with a two-legged aggregate score of 1:0.

With just one goal in two games, 180 minutes, Liverpool's incomplete squad is not without the power of a fight, and they have also tried their best in both games, but in the end they could not prevent United from advancing to the final.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, almost all of the Liverpool players collapsed on the pitch, from 0:0 at Anfield in the first leg to 0:1 in the second leg, they did their best but could not get the rewards they deserved.

'Obviously, Manchester United have started to pay more attention to the cup competition, and when Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-1 at Anfield in the first flywheel of the league, Ferguson joked that they would pull one back at Old Trafford, in fact, we had a hunch at the time, because Manchester United did not have the strongest squad at that time, and it was obvious that they were adjusting to prepare for the second leg of the Carabao Cup.

'It's hard for Manchester United to make a difference in the league these days, Chelsea and Liverpool are on high spirits, Manchester United are even threatened by Everton in fourth place in the league, and it is unrealistic to win the title, so Ferguson has set his sights on the cup competition.

"One goes all out, one has to be distracted on multiple fronts, plus from December 26 to January 26, Liverpool played six league games, FA Cup, League Cup and League Cup in total, and the opponents encountered were very strong, almost every game had to go all out, which was a great test for Liverpool."

But, Andy? What Gray didn't say was that Liverpool survived 6 rounds of 5 wins and 1 draw in the league, second only to Chelsea, who won all 6 rounds, but you must know that Liverpool's lineup is inferior to Chelsea.

Although Chelsea also reached the League Cup final, their opponent is Watford in the Championship, and the overall strength cannot be compared with Manchester United, and Chelsea's schedule in the league is obviously more advantageous, with more home games and weaker opponents.

On the contrary, Liverpool, when the schedule was intensive, met Manchester United three times, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, Yang Cheng made a trade-off, won the league, and lost the League Cup is also a reasonable trade-off, after all, the League Cup can only be used as a fig leaf, Yang Cheng's team does not need a fig leaf.

"Kuyt, Ribery, Robben, Araudiala, Essien, Carrick, Gega Johnson, Agger, Hyypia, Volnock, Reina, Liverpool's squad is very young but shows a lot of fighting power, although they lost the cup, we still have to say that Liverpool's young guards are really good."

'At least we saw that Liverpool had lost but they had forced Manchester United to the ground at Old Trafford, and if you were to count the points from the two legs, there would be no doubt that Liverpool should be in the final, but unfortunately the reality is brutal.'

It's clear that Andy and Gray are more happy with Liverpool's performances as they have been sticking to their attacking philosophy, showing more aggressiveness, and their style of play is more likable even to the fact that they are the most pleasing team in the Premier League this season, surpassing Arsenal.

"Come on, Caesar's Guards have lost the Carabao Cup, but you still have the league, the FA Cup, and the Champions League, and you still have a great future, and I believe that as long as you continue to maintain this momentum, you will have a chance sooner or later to wash away today's shame."

"We should also congratulate Manchester United, the Bungsen side have always shown tenacity in the face of adversity and they deserved this victory!" Andy Gray is not guilty of either.

"I'm sorry, I beat you!" Ferguson walked over with a smile and stretched out his hand towards Yang Cheng from a distance.

Yang Cheng sneered, "No, Sir Alexand, you didn't defeat me at all, it was I who respected the elders and let you win!" ”

Ferguson shrugged his shoulders and grimaced like an old monster, "Whatever you want, I won anyway." ”

Turning around and looking at the pitch, the entire Old Trafford grandstand was in a state of amusement. ,

You know, this is the first time they beat Liverpool at Old Trafford this season, and although it was a messy scene, at least they still won, at least they stepped on Liverpool's corpse to reach the final.

"It's just going to be in the final, there's nothing to be happy about, you should be careful of Mourinho!" Yang Cheng reminded.

The victory or defeat of a game, the win or loss of a league cup, Yang Cheng has long been down-looking about this, although the fighting spirit is endless, but he will not see a league cup as bigger than the sky, at least his goal from beginning to end is in the league and the Champions League.

"He's still not as dangerous as you!" Ferguson said from the bottom of his heart.

Chelsea's signings this season are truly unprecedented, let's just say that the two seismic signings during the winter break have indeed greatly improved Chelsea's strength, at least with Robinho joining the lineup, Chelsea immediately got rid of the 1:0 doctrine.

In the last three rounds of the league, Chelsea's scores were 3:0, 3:0 and 4:0, all of which were complete wins, Mourinho's adjustment of the trident of Gudjohnsen, Duff and Robinho went very well, Chelsea showed excellent attacking form, Robinho although there are still many problems, but he did play very well.

It is estimated that this is related to the deep freshness of his first arrival in the Premier League.

"Should I be grateful for your kindness?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically.

Gerson smiled, "Whatever! ”

"Be careful, old fellow, don't capsize in the gutter!" Yang Cheng smiled and patted Ferguson on the shoulder and walked onto the court.

Ferguson looked at his back, smiled as well, and walked back to the ball lane.

Yang Cheng walked into the court...... The closest to him was Ribery, who was sitting on the ground, and he walked over and slapped him the shoulder, "Stand up, Frank!" But he didn't linger, but kept going.

"Don't sit, stand up, Arau!"

"Cheer up, Michael!"

"What I hate most is to see you look like the end of the world, Glenn, stand up!"

Yang Cheng passed by the players one by one and reminded them to stand up one by one.

Some players stood up, not least Hyypia, who wore the captain's armband for the game...... So he also followed Yang Cheng to pull up his teammates, and Gerrard on the bench also came out to encourage his teammates.

"You all stand up for me! , Yang Tan just increased his voice, and he couldn't see anything special.

The players who haven't stood up yet, now they're standing up.

Yang Cheng touched his face with both hands, his beard was a little prickly, he had been so busy in the past month that he didn't even have time to shave, his hair was long, and it was a little messy, but he didn't have much time to take care of it.

However, this makes many people think that he looks like a sharp brother.

"Past, say goodbye to our fans!"

Yang Cheng shook his head, and the players, led by Gerrard and Hyypia, came to the bottom of the stands where the Liverpool fans were, and waved to the fans in the stands.

Although the game was lost, everyone could see that Liverpool gave it their all.

As long as you do your best, no one will blame you!

So the Liverpool fans didn't blame the players at all, on the contrary, they could see that the players worked hard, but they lost a cup title, but they were happy with the team's performance and mentality.

"You'll never walk alone!"

The fans stretched the banner they had brought with them and used it to show their support for the team. Two hours later, the Liverpool squad arrived at the Melwood training base.

Yang Cheng was the first to get off the bus, and the players followed one by one, it was raining outside, a little cold, but fortunately there was no snow, otherwise the weather would have been worse.

Yang Cheng stood in front of all the players and watched them get off the bus...... Lined up in front of the two, he raised his left hand, on which was a mechanical watch specially designed for chalk mobilization, and tapped his right index finger on it.

"It's January 26, 2005, at 20:35 and we lost the League Cup!"

The players all hung their heads, especially the players who played in this game, and they all felt a little frustrated. ,

"From now on, I'm going to give you 12 hours, and you can be sad, sad, and upset, and you can do all the things you blame and feel guilty about, and you can even go home and cry under the covers, but, guys, I don't want to see you like this when you come back to Melwood after a few hours!"

"Every team will have times when they lose, there will be times when they lose championships, when they lose games, and even when they lose very ugly, but the teams that have the last laugh are often the teams that get out of the shadow of defeat in the shortest possible time."

'We lost the Carabao Cup, but we still have the league, the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League to fight for, so I want all of you to go home, take a shower, look in the mirror and tell yourself that when you wake up, I'm a new me, and I'm going to fight for the day after tomorrow and for every game in the future!'

Speaking of this, Yang Cheng waved his hand and signaled to disband.

One by one, the players went back to the dressing room to prepare for their home.

"Fuck, that old guy really looks like he's decided to give up the league!"

After sending off the players, the coaching staff was slowly walking back to the boot room on the second floor.

"Regardless of him, our goal this season is the league and the Champions League!" Yang Cheng is at the forefront.

Although Liverpool is still behind Chelsea so far, Yang Cheng still hasn't given up, these two titles are what he values the most, as for the League Cup and FA Cup, it's more of the icing on the cake.

Paul Byer and Tim Hank, who were walking around him, both smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's time for you to go back and rest!" ”

"I'm ready!" Yang Cheng said with a smile that his psychological tolerance has always been strong, "I'm going to take a shower...... By the way, shave off my sloppy beard and make a whole new image! ”

The group of people immediately laughed, in fact, they all looked sloppy now.

It's just that Yang Cheng's sloppiness is praised by others, and their sloppiness is a little ashamed to see people, who makes the family the protagonist?

Lying in the large bathtub in the bathroom at home...... The hot water made Yang Cheng's whole body feel as if he was about to float up from the water, a bit like soaking in a hot spring, which was very comfortable.

His head was on the edge of the bathtub, his face was covered with a hot towel, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be asleep.

At this moment, he didn't think about anything, his mind went blank, just enjoying this rare comfort.

The sliding door of the bathroom shower room was opened, and Yang Cheng didn't have to think about it to know who it was.

"I'll help you shave, okay?" Charlize Theron knelt behind his head, pulled out the towel, and skillfully massaged his hands on his shoulders, which was so comfortable that Yang Cheng almost screamed. BU

She shaved Yang Cheng very carefully, very carefully, for fear that she would accidentally break the skin, until she shaved cleanly, she put away the razor with satisfaction, and when she walked in again, she saw Yang Cheng reaching out and touching his chin and upper lip, and asked with a smile: "Uncle, how is the craftsmanship?" ”

"It's sloppy!" Yang Cheng smiled and wrung out the hot water in the towel, and then covered his face, he liked the feeling of this hot compress very much, as if the pores on his face were opened, I heard that it can achieve the effect of beauty, I don't know if it can make people more handsome?

I didn't hear any movement for a long time, but soon, there was one more person in the large bathtub.

Charlize Theron also stripped naked and lay down in the large bathtub, her hair wrapped in a bath towel...... Lying next to Yang Cheng.

Yang Cheng gently stretched out his hand, hugged her over, and hugged him tightly, while her right hand was rubbing Yang Cheng's body, as if to help him rub off the grease, but it was very light and comfortable.

"In a few days, I'll take Charles to the Creceous Kingdom, and I'm going to live there for a while!" Charlize Theron was next to Yang Cheng's ear and said in a tired voice.

Yang Cheng nodded, the Spring Festival is coming, his parents hope that Yuzi can go home to accompany them for the New Year, Charlize Theron also likes the farm in the countryside, and after the Chinese New Year, she took over a commercial blockbuster, so she is going to put Charles at home, let the two elders help take it for a while, and wait until they are busy for a while, and then pick it up. ,

"I'll help you contact Chen Xi and ask him to be your translator." Yang Cheng said with a smile.

Ziselon nodded and patted his chest gently, "You, don't put so much pressure on yourself, in fact, you have done well enough!" ”

Yang Cheng smiled, "Without pressure, I have no motivation!" ”

He is always asking higher for himself, because he wants to be able to continue to maintain this drive and enthusiasm.

With three Champions League, Bundesliga, Serie A, Premier League titles and cup titles, and many best coaching titles, he fears that one day he will lose his drive and enthusiasm, which is a terrible thing.

When you quietly lose your enthusiasm for something, you will be distracted and uninterested.

"Don't you think it's tiring?" Charlie Shaw Seron reached out and ruffled his hair, there were a lot of gray hairs, but the whole person looked very energetic.

"When you have a pursuit and a desire for something, you won't feel tired!" Yang Cheng said with a smile, "Even if you occasionally feel tired, but after resting, after charging, you will feel a hundred times more combative!" ”

"You look like an electric car!" Charlize, Theron giggled.

"Then are you going to charge me now, I'm going to drive?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile that meant something else.

"I'm sorry, now the lottery is on the road, you can't drive out today!" Charlie said slyly, but soon, she felt that Yang Cheng's cheating hand had touched her body

"Tsk, how do you maintain it after giving birth...... "the lower abdomen is still so flat...... the calves are still so thin, and they should be big...... Well, it's a lot bigger...... "He's already conquering the city."

Charlize and Theron listened to his appreciation, and his heart was full of joy, and he reached out hard to press his head against his fiercely undulating chest, enjoying his teasing.

As the action became more and more intense, the water in the large bathtub kept overflowing out of the bathtub, splashing all over the shower room, but the carved sliding door of the shower room completely isolated everything inside from the outside, as if they were two completely unrelated worlds.

Charles, on the other hand, lay on his cot, sleeping soundly and sweetly.

Outside the villa, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if to wash away the turbid air of this dilapidated industrial city.

I believe that after this one, the heavy rain at night, tomorrow is likely to usher in a sunny day, maybe, get up early, and be able to see the rainbow after the rain, it must be beautiful!

In Cowberham, in south-west London, a shabby, or barely a training ground, doesn't even have a name, but a prominent crest on the outside, making it clear that this is Chelsea's new training base. The first day of '05 was very simple, everything was temporary, including the restaurant, locker room, office, etc., all of them were temporary, only the turf was on track.

However, on the side of the main gate of the training base, the basement is being dug, and the entire training base is being intensified overnight, in addition to the floors on the ground, one or two floors will be built underground, and the main construction of the training building is expected to be completed in 2006.

It's pretty basic, and it's almost amateur amateur team, but it's a paradise compared to the old training ground that used to rent a university football pitch next door to Heathrow Airport.

Because there, you have to endure the noise of airport flights, and the number of flights coming and going back every day is enough to be deafening.

It's all new now, and Mourinho wants to build the most modern training base in the next year or so, because he has the financial backing of Roman Abramovich and can do that.

And what made Mourinho even more elated was that he had just received the news that Liverpool had lost!

"He's finished!" Mourinho was in the office, in front of the coaching staff, and the excitement was a little incomprehensible...... ）
