At the end of the game, Wenger walked up to Ferguson with a serious expression, "Congratulations on reaching the semi-finals, Sir Alex." ”

Seeing that Wenger didn't look like a smirk at all, Ferguson was happy and said with a smile: "Arsenal played well and created a lot of pressure on us. ”

Wenger waved his hand lightly, "The ball has been lost, what's the use of saying this." With that, he turned around and walked to the locker room.

Ferguson said to Wenger's somewhat lonely back: "Do you want to have a drink?"

Basically, the four are empty, Wenger has no heart to have a drink with Ferguson, he waved at Ferguson without looking back, "No, next time." ”

As the two managers spoke, the Arsenal players were already briskly walking to the dressing room, leaving only the Manchester United players on the pitch celebrating excitedly.

United's last FA Cup triumph was in 2004 when they beat lower-division side Millwall, and the Reds have reached two finals in the seven years since, losing to Arsenal and Chelsea.

Now Manchester United has a huge advantage in the league, beating Inter Milan 2-1 away in the Champions League, and has a good chance of promotion, so it is natural to hope to make a breakthrough in the FA Cup and repeat the glory of the treble.

In the previous two FA Cup games, Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City were promoted, and the other was Manchester City against Reading, and Manchester United only need to eliminate Arsenal to have a good chance of winning the FA Cup.

The talented teenager Paul Pogba was an eye-catcher in defence, scoring a goal and becoming the target of journalists after the game.

Pogba is very sensible, and first thanked the coach Ferguson who gave him the opportunity to play, and then thanked Gao Xiaodong for giving him the assist.

Pogba specifically mentioned Gao Xiaodong's help to him, thinking that without Gao Xiaodong's help, he would not have been able to play so well, Gao Xiaodong is like his big brother, he is honored to play in such a great team as Manchester United.

For his own performance in this game, Pogba spoke in the style of Gao Xiaodong, he said that he just played according to the coach's arrangement and completed the tasks assigned by the coach, which is not very brilliant, and it is the old players of the team who really decide the game.

Gao Xiaodong is naturally the focus of reporters, especially after eating a red card in the last game, countless reporters want to take something out of Gao Xiaodong's mouth.

After a few days of rest and calm, press officer Diana finally gave Gao Xiaodong the opportunity to be interviewed.

After being slapped by Carragher and sent off with a red card, Gao Xiaodong was under a lot of pressure, and Ferguson did not let him be interviewed to protect him, and now Manchester United defeated its old rival Arsenal to reach the FA Cup semi-finals, Gao Xiaodong passed and shot, which can be regarded as a complete redemption.

Facing reporters, Gao Xiaodong did not evade the question about the red card, he simply explained the reason why he played Carragher, thinking that he was a little impulsive, because he had never encountered such a bad encounter before.

When the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong if he apologized to Carragher after the game, Gao Xiaodong asked the reporter rhetorically that Carragher did not apologize to the injured Nani, why did he apologize to Carragher.

Regarding the next three suspensions, Gao Xiaodong said that he caused problems for his teammates, but he believes that Manchester United is a great team, and he does not need to count on him to play alone to win, Rooney, Berbatov and Hernandez can all score.

Then the topic shifted to today's game, Gao Xiaodong praised Ferguson's tactics, thinking that today's victory was a tactical victory, because Manchester United lacked 10 players today, and it is very proud of a team like Arsenal to win with 10 fewer players.

Gao Xiaodong doesn't care about his performance, he thinks that he doesn't want to compete with Ronaldo and Messi for the European Golden Boot, it is better to score goals and assists, it is nothing if he doesn't score, and the most important thing is to compete for the European championship.

Finally, the reporter asked Gao Xiaodong that Manchester United has a chance to hit the treble this season, and if Manchester United also wins the treble, will he choose to leave.

In this regard, Gao Xiaodong gave a denial, saying that he played very comfortably at Manchester United and had no plans to leave Manchester United for the time being.

Gao Xiaodong was disgusted by the reporters who provoked the topic, and he quipped, "If I plan to leave Manchester United, I will call you." ”

Gao Xiaodong's answer caused the reporter to laugh, and the atmosphere on the field became relaxed and joyful.

Gao Xiaodong answered a few more irrelevant questions, and when he saw that his teammates had returned to the locker room, he ended the interview and went back to the locker room.

In the post-match press conference, Ferguson was delighted and felt it would not be easy to beat Arsenal with injuries in place, as it was a combination of hard work and luck from the players.

Ferguson believes that as things stand, as long as the injured return in time, United can hope to regain their treble dream.

Looking ahead to the FA Cup semi-finals, Ferguson hopes to draw a weaker opponent, because the Champions League is also in the most critical period, and if all three lines meet strong opponents, it will be difficult to win all of them with Manchester United's current personnel allocation.

However, Ferguson's idea did not materialise and in the subsequent draw ceremony, Ferguson drew his local rivals Manchester City among the three teams of Bolton, Stoke City and Manchester City.

In fact, there was a lot of speculation before the draw that the FA Cup would be played in the Manchester derby, and Bolton would face Stoke City for another place in the final, so as to ensure that an underdog would reach the final.

It was the first time in 30 years that City had reached the last four of the FA Cup, and the first time in 30 years that City had come so close to FA Cup title, so they had never won a trophy in the previous 35 years, not even the Carabao Cup.

What is clear is that regardless of which team wins the Manchester City duo, if they make it to the final, they will have a very good chance of winning the title as they are significantly higher than their other final opponents. This is also the second time Manchester United and Manchester City met in the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup last season, Manchester City won and then lost, and were eliminated by Manchester United, watching the sworn rivals play a triumphant song all the way to win the title, avoiding the fate of the big four.

Last season, Manchester City were beaten twice by Manchester United in the league. Manchester United have won both of their games against Manchester City this season, and Roberto Mancini's side are desperate to knock out arch-rivals Manchester United and lead them to a 35-year titleless streak.

Apparently Mancini is also well aware of what the FA Cup means to Manchester City and to him. Speaking after the draw, Mancini was confident: "The FA Cup is different from other competitions, we know when we last reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup [30 years ago], so it will motivate everyone and make us not afraid to face any opponent, including Manchester United, I think it's even better to meet Manchester United in the semi-finals than in the final, Manchester City have very little experience in the final, and Manchester United have a lot of experience. ”

Ferguson was unhappy with the signing, but he said City were a little more troublesome than the other two teams, but if they want to win the title, they will have to beat all their opponents, and United will not be afraid of the challenge and they will beat Manchester City again to reach the FA Cup final.
