The news that Arsenal sent a full bench squad to Tottenham Hotspur in the first contract of the League Cup semi-finals was immediately spread throughout the United Kingdom through the media after the referee blew the final whistle to announce the end of the game!

The vast majority of people were amazed by this result. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After all, Tottenham did not send any absolute main force in this game, even in terms of the number of league appearances, only Darren Anderton and Phil Neville can barely be counted as the main team, and the others are real substitutes.

However, it is a big surprise that Tottenham Hotspur actually played evenly with Arsenal, who fielded the strongest team, in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

In fact, if it weren't for Lehmann's excellent performance in this game, his decisive attacks on several occasions, and the timing was just right, saving the lone shots of Ribery and Toney, Arsenal might have even lost this duel with Tottenham.

"Haha, George, you've done a great job this time!" Ferguson's hearty laugh came from the microphone. Clearly, the draw had some fun for the gentleman, who had been in a rather bad mood recently after his team had lost his top spot: "I guess Wenger has been messed up by the media and fans right now, right?"

"Judging from the current situation, I think the situation should be similar to Alex, what you guessed. George, who was also in a good mood, almost laughed out loud when he thought back to the footage sent by his men two days ago, when Arsenal fans who were extremely unhappy with the draw surrounded A.T. Kearney and protested in front of Arsenal headquarters and A.T. Kearney training base, "By the way, I have a video here, Alex, if you're interested, I'll send someone to send it to you." ”

Sure enough, hearing George's words, Ferguson, who realized that this video was probably related to Wenger's old rival, immediately agreed - the lord was naturally extremely happy to see his old opponent Wenger make a mess.

"It's light, you can do it!" Seeing the continuous criticism of Arsenal in the newspaper, the grumpy Vieira threw the "Times" in his hand to the ground, and then stepped on the newspaper again and again in anger, and said hatefully, "Those cowards, they only know how to cower in the half, and they have the ability to attack and face us head-on!"

"Alright, Patrick (Vieira). It's not your first day of playing football, you should know a lot about what kind of virtue these media are. Henry smiled wryly and stepped forward, comforting his compatriot and captain. Whenever Vieira was angry, it was Henry who stepped in to appease the former's anger.

A lot of times, fans and the media are just that's unreasonable. They don't care what Arsenal are frustrating with, or what they can't do to win what looks like a big win. They only know that Arsenal, who have been unbeaten in the league so far and have been praised by the media, failed to win Tottenham Hotspur, which played with a full substitute lineup, in the semi-finals of the League Cup, and it was still when the Gunners did their best!

You know, Tottenham's so-called all-underbench play in this game is not just talk. Even the starting goalkeeper was changed from Petr Cech to Casey Keller, and the four starting defenders were half of the main players, and the other three were absolute substitutes in the first team...... This shows how impressive Tottenham's rotation in this semi-final is.

It is precisely for this reason that the pressure on the Arsenal players is so great now - Tottenham Hotspur, who is not even an absolute main player in the starting list, are you embarrassed to say that Arsenal is the number one team in the Premier League?

Due to the 0-0 draw with Tottenham Hotspur in the last leg with the absolute dominance of strength and field, the team has been widely criticized by the media and fans in the past week, so before the start of the second leg, although Wenger has not yet figured out a solution, and does not think that the team can beat Tottenham to advance to the League Cup final, but when interviewed by reporters at the pre-match press conference, the professor still has to put on a confident appearance, as if he has found a way to deal with Tottenham。

If Arsene Wenger behaved unconfidently in the pre-match press conference, or showed the slightest intention of admitting defeat and surrendering, then even the professor himself would have attracted a lot of scolding from Arsenal fans after that, and greatly boosted the momentum of the opponent!

For Arsenal fans, even if the team loses to Manchester United, it is not unacceptable, but if the team shows timidity or even loses to the other side in front of Tottenham, a sworn enemy, it is definitely beyond the bottom line they can tolerate!

However, even if he can't think of a countermeasure, it can't be said that Wenger's tactical level is not up to par. After all, how to crack the dense defense can be a worldwide problem, let alone Arsenal, who are already extremely difficult in this area.

Another point that left Wenger puzzling was why George would field such a quirky starting line-up in the first leg. Although Arsene Wenger had suspected that George was planning to allow the Tottenham players to hold on to a draw at Highbury, shift all the pressure to Arsenal, and then wait until the second leg at White Hart Lane to decide the winner, but if you think about it, George is unlikely to do so - if these substitutes can't withstand Arsenal's strong pressure in the first leg and are directly knocked down, then Tottenham will now face a super hole that cannot be filled. What's more, if that's the case, then there's no need for George to even change the goalkeeper!

If it had been Drogba's maneuverability far beyond that of a normal power center in the last game, I am afraid that there would be no suspense in this semi-final...... Thinking of this, Wenger couldn't help but shudder, the picture was so beautiful, he didn't dare to continue imagining it.

And so it was January 27, the day when Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur met for the second time in the English League Cup semi-finals. What shocked everyone, including Arsene Wenger, was that Tottenham still did not plan to send main players to play in this game, but continued to send a starting lineup dominated by substitute players!

"This guy ...... Don't you look down on me and my Arsenal like that?!" Wenger didn't know that George had promised his players that "substitutes and bench players would be placed as starters in the domestic cup competition", so when the professor saw that Tottenham actually used the line-up from the first leg of the two teams in this game, and only made changes to one or two positions, Wenger was furious!

Arsenal's starting line-up has not changed from a week ago. Although Arsene Wenger still hasn't found a way to crack Tottenham's dense defense in the middle, out of trust in the players under his opponents, the professor has not made adjustments to the staffing of the starting lineup, but hopes that the players can adapt on the field and find holes in Tottenham's defense through a lot of off-ball runs and passes, so as to solve this increasingly difficult enemy!

Because Ribery was in the limelight in the last game, his sharp breakthrough and fast speed made Lauren, who was responsible for Arsenal's right side defense, disgraced, so before the start of this game, Wenger thought that Ribery was likely to continue to start, and specially emphasized to the players that they should pay attention to Ribery's defense, and never let him easily get the ball, or resolutely take foul tactics against him after winning the ball!

All in all, it is that Ribery must not be allowed to break through the Arsenal defence over and over again like in the last game!

In Arsene Wenger's view, Tottenham's return to home after a draw in the first leg will inevitably lead to the replacement of most of their main players and those who played well in the first leg against Arsenal.

However, reality was destined to disappoint Arsene Wenger. Because George's line-up in the second leg of this League Cup semi-final was once again beyond his expectations!

For example, when Arsene Wenger was given the starting XI for Tottenham, the professor was shocked to find that his pre-match plan for Ribery had fallen through. Because George didn't put Ribery in the starting line-up at all, but replaced the French winger with Spanish striker David Villa!

"Villa, Toney, Anderton, two strikers and one winger? Nelson is this guy going to put only Anderton on the wing as an attacker today?" Wenger was a little puzzled, because in this way, he only needed to target Anderton alone to paralyze Tottenham's counter-attack.

Arsene Wenger's doubts didn't last long, as the Tottenham players were quick to answer his questions with action as soon as the game began!

Although with the addition of new players such as Ronaldo, Ribery and Bierovka, as well as the impact of his own injuries, Anderton's main position in Tottenham Hotspur is no longer as solid as before, but this does not mean that Anderton's strength is not as good as the previous ones.

You must know that Anderton was able to beat McManaman as the starting right midfielder of the England national team and squeezed the latter to the left side. Even if Beckham later came out of nowhere, causing him to lose his starting position as a right midfielder and had to move to the left side, Anderton did not substitute Beckham, but directly squeezed McManaman to the bench!

Therefore, in the second leg of the contest between the two sides, Tottenham's counterattack was still impressive. Anderton's mastery of possession and experience make it difficult for an Arsenal player to cut off the ball at his feet in one-on-one situations or stop him in his tracks.

Anderton's breakthrough cross, Drogbacze should cover, Villa waiting for the opportunity to grab the point, this is the main counter-attacking routine of Tottenham in this game. Arsenal did just the same tactics as Tottenham, because they needed the input of Patrick Vieira and Ashley Cole in attack, so defending Anderton naturally couldn't be as focused as Lauren was on Ribery.

In the 35th minute, Tottenham took advantage of Arsenal's attack defeat to launch a counterattack. Basturk played the ball to Anderton, who drove the ball parallel to the line of the box and headed straight into a high cross, but Drogba was interfered with by Campbell in a battle for the top and couldn't get on target.

However, just as Tottenham fans were sighing for this attack, a white figure suddenly appeared at the place where the ball landed and shot the ball into the unguarded goal!

The Spaniard broke away from Lauren's defence with the help of Drogba's cover and scored with a powerful shot before Kolo Toure could get back into place!

In the 35th minute of the game, Tottenham Hotspur took the lead in breaking the deadlock and taking the lead in the League Cup semi-finals!
