After a painful fight, Manchester United struggled to reverse West Ham United and advance to the quarterfinals of the English League Cup in the 2010-2011 season. In this game, Bell, who contributed two goals and two assists in the first half, is undoubtedly the biggest hero.

　　When Manchester United fought at Upton Park Stadium, on the other side of London, Arsenal were also vying for another ticket to the semifinals of the League Cup this season. In the end, they beat Wigan Athletic 2-0 at home.

The next day, on the evening of December 1st, British local time, the remaining two quarter-finals of the League Cup continued. Eventually, Birmingham 2:1 Lectra Villa, and Ipswich of the British Championship broke 1 :0 defeated West Brom and won the last two tickets of the League Cup semi-finals.

　　 In the subsequent League Cup semi-final draw, Manchester United drew Birmingham, who is also a Premier League team, and Arsenal drew Ipswich in the middle of the crown.

　　According to the schedule, the two rounds of the League Cup semi-finals will be played in mid-January and late January, respectively. Manchester United's schedule is first-in-first-out, not dominant. Fortunately, the semifinals of the League Cup do not count the advantage of away goals, but simply compare how many goals are scored.

　　………………

　　 Entering England in December, most of them have reached the snow-covered season. Snowing is common and freezing is common.

　　 Especially in the Manchester area, it is already the northwest of England, and there is more snow and ice in winter. And ice and snow is not a friendly thing for football games.

　　No, after finishing the quarter-finals of the League Cup with West Ham United, and returning to Manchester United in Manchester, I started to have a headache for the Premier League next weekend.

　　According to the schedule of the Premier League, the Manchester United away game with Blackpool will take place at 5:30 pm GMT on December 4th. However, before the game, there was a sudden shocking news. Due to the extreme weather, the stadium in Blackpool froze.

　　 The weather in the city of Blackpool has been very bad since the last week. Although the newly promoted staff tried their best to maintain the lawn of the stadium, they still failed to prevent the Bloomfield Road stadium from freezing. The day before the game (December 3), the game between Manchester United and Blackpool was that the referee Mr. Wald specially went to the Bloomfield Road stadium to investigate and concluded that Blackpool's stadium was not suitable for the game.

　　 The official staff of the Premier League contacted both parties, especially Manchester United, to put forward a proposal to postpone the game. However, after repeated reflection and consideration, Manchester United rejected this proposal.

　　 It is also very difficult for Manchester United to make such a decision. After all, playing in a harsh environment is detrimental to Manchester United, which tends to play technically.

　　 However, considering that the next season is about to enter the most densely scheduled period of the year, Manchester United have to gritt their teeth to stick to the game.

Regardless of the accident, in the next two months of December and January, Manchester United will usher in the Premier League 16 rounds to the Premier League 24 rounds of 9 Premier League games, 1 UEFA Champions League group match, 2 League Cup and a half The finals, as well as the third and fourth rounds of the FA Cup, will have a total of 14 matches, almost the rhythm of a week's doubles.

　　 This ruled out the situation where extreme weather appeared again and the game had to be postponed. In fact, with years of experience, it is inevitable that the game has to be postponed due to extreme weather.

　　 Therefore, it is undoubtedly a sensible choice to continue the game when the stadium is only slightly icy.

As for postponing the game to February or later, it will be even more impossible, because then the Champions League knockout will start, plus the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, Manchester United is likely to start on four fronts, If there is a make-up, it will be a disaster for the team.

　　………………

　　Although the last game of the UEFA Champions League group stage will be ushered in next Tuesday night, Manchester United's main force is present in the bus to Blackpool.

　　 has already locked in the first round of Manchester United ahead of schedule. There is capital in the last round of the group stage.

Of course, Chelsea and Arsenal with 10 points ahead of the second and third places in the league have the same room to make mistakes. However, in order to go more calmly in the second half of the season, they will win the promotion of the Premier League like Blackpool and continue to expand. Leading edge is undoubtedly the best choice.

　　Before the game against Blackpool, the Manchester United got good news that their biggest rival, Chelsea, was stubbornly forced by Everton to a 1:1 draw at Stamford Bridge!

　　 The Blues lost points again, not only may they get further and further away from Manchester United, they can't even keep the second place in the standings. Because at the same time in the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal 2:1 Lectra Farmer Fulham, overtaking Chelsea in the standings.

　　 The biggest competitor, Ma, lost the lead and made Manchester United players very happy. As for Arsenal to continue to win, Manchester United players did not care too much. Because in recent years, Manchester United's opponents are not Arsenal. With the urgency of Arsenal, when the Champions League knockout begins, they will naturally fall behind.

　　Of course, another important reason is that Manchester United will face the Gunners at home after ten days. When they are eliminated, the points gap will be further widened.

　　………………

　　The game between Manchester United and Blackpool is the 85th match in the history of the two sides. After 84 matches, Manchester United lost the absolute advantage.

　　Although there have been a lot of fights in history, the two sides have not played each other for nearly 40 years. The last encounter between the two sides dates back to the distant English Premier League in April 1975, when Manchester United defeated their opponents 4-0 at home, then won 3-0 as a guest, and won the championship this season and returned to the top league.

　　 The last time the two met in the top league was in the 1970-1971 season in the old Premier League, when they both drew 1:1.

Manchester United's Rafael lifted Scholes's injury, Ferdinand continued to be sidelined, and Bell, who just gave a wonderful performance in the quarter-finals of the League Cup, sat on the bench again. At the same time, Rooney was at Manchester United. Game 300.

Ferguson almost sent his strongest lineup, goalkeeper Van der Sar, four guards Raphael, Smalling, Vidic and Evra, four midfielders Nani, Fletcher, Scholes And Gibson, Rooney and Berbatov are partner strikers.

For Blackpool, the goalkeeper is their No. 28 Jinson, the fourth defenders are No. 5 Edley, No. 6 Ewat, No. 20 Cascade, No. 15 Alex Baptiste, four midfielders respectively It was No. 12 Taylor Fletcher, No. 14 Granding, No. 26 Adam, No. 11 Vogan, and double forwards were No. 16 Varney and No. 39 Dudley Campbell.

　　 From the player's side of the two sides, the newly promoted and Manchester United are not at the same level, but Blackpool's ability to beat Liverpool ranked No. 10 in the Premier League after 15 rounds illustrates the team's combat effectiveness.

　　Man United had originally disapproved of this newly promoted horse, but when the game started, Blackpool quickly proved to Manchester United that they could be ranked 10th in the Premier League.

　　 In the 13th minute, Evra dribbled the ball and was bleed by Adam's elbow. The referee did not say that Ferguson was very angry on the sidelines. Two minutes later, taking advantage of Evra's treatment, Blackpool played on the right and Rooney pushed the ball out of the bottom line. Adam took the right corner, Manchester United stared and missed, Cascade from Manchester United's youth camp headed for a header at 6 yards and Blackpool led 1:0.

　　………………

　　 Manchester United, who took the lead in conceding the ball, then counterattacked, but the poor court conditions made it difficult for them to play a smooth attack. Coupled with Blackpool's tenacious defense, although Manchester United has been pressing Blackpool on the offensive, but there is always no way to break the goal. Instead, the home team's two counterattacks made Manchester United very confused.

In the 25th minute of the game, Adam made a left cross from the bottom. Vidic's header in the small penalty area took a risky pass and scared the Manchester United soldiers enough. Fortunately, Van der Sar's attention was focused and his performance was good. Ditch's back pass.

A minute later, Blackpool made a comeback. Smalling made a mistake under the pressure of the opponent's striker, and directly kicked the ball to the opponent. Varni made a cross from the right rib in the penalty area. Grantin's right foot shot at 12 yards kicked off.

　　Escaped Manchester United, the performance of the players on the court has not improved due to this ~lightnovelpub.net~ Instead, it was almost 7 minutes later by the opponent to break through the city. Grantin crosses the right rib of the penalty area, is blocked by Vidic and then folds to the goal, but luckily, this time the refraction slightly missed the goal, but it still scares Manchester United fans and coach Ferguson. Enough choking.

　　………………

　　 After several good luck without losing the ball, Manchester City's city gate was still lost, and it was also a lost ball caused by a wrong positioning defense.

　　 In the 43rd minute, Varni passed the ball and Vogan shot from the left foot to Vanderssa to save the bottom line. Adam took the right corner, Nani headed the header to make a header, and Campbell scored a header at 5 yards. The ball flew into the goal from Raphael's head near the back post. Blackpool 2:0 .

　　 Two goals behind makes the Manchester United players' mentality a bit unbalanced, and their actions on the court are getting bigger and bigger. And they also paid the price of two yellow cards. In the 45th minute, Scholes received a yellow card for a foul on the already broken Vogan. In the second minute of stoppage time, Gibson hooked Grantin and also received a yellow card.

　　 Two goals behind halftime, this is simply a mid-week replica of the game at Upson Park Stadium, which made the team coach Ferguson almost out of anger.

　　 Two goals behind halftime at Upson Park Stadium in the middle of the week can also be said to be the majority of United's backup lineup, with limited strength, but now Manchester United is almost full of the main game, it can't be said.

　　 Therefore, before the referee had sounded the half-time whistle, the old man returned to the locker room with his face on his face.
