After this round of the League Cup, the top four clubs are also officially released.

Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, Sheffield Wednesday and Notts County are the last four of the English League Cup in 01-02.

Many fans were shocked to find that there was not a single big club left in the League Cup semi-finals, and there were two non-Premier League teams among them.

Manchester United were knocked out of the tournament by Arsenal in the third round, while Arsenal were beaten by Notts County in the quarter-finals, and Liverpool were knocked out by League One side Gosby early.

Although the Carabao Cup is known as a hotbed of underdogs, there are usually giants in the top four, but this season has completely turned that impression on its head.

Two clubs in the middle of the Premier League, a strong team in League One, plus a club in League Two, if you go back in history, this League Cup semi-final configuration can even be called the weakest in history.

The two Premier League teams aside, Sheffield Wednesday's road to promotion for the League One team is not so bumpy, although not lucky enough to be escorted all the way, but only in the early rounds of the two Premier League teams, in the case of the opponent's strategic abandonment, smoothly all the way to the promotion, the 1/4 final opponent is only Watford, the same League One team.

But Notts County's path to qualification is fantastic, with three Premier League teams, including Arsenal, and every game against an all-out opponent, and they can qualify for the semi-finals is a miracle, an epic miracle.

Sometimes fate is so elusive, maybe it's a bittersweet end, but Notts County won't have to face two Premier League clubs in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, because the Magpies are against Sheffield Wednesday.

Many fans are questioning the result of the draw, which is a manipulative result because it means that a non-Premier League club will inevitably emerge in the Carabao Cup final.

It's hard to say if this is a ghost done by the FA to add to the highlights, although the strong dialogue in the final will be more eye-catching, but after the semi-finals are released, no matter how you look at it, you don't think the final will be a fierce game, so simply change to an alternative way.

Non-top professional league teams advance to the finals, so let's be watching!

Maybe after an upset, this non-top professional league team won the championship and will represent the English league in the UEFA Cup next season!

Regardless of whether there was a lot of noise outside, Notts County didn't care, because their victory was fought with sweat, and no one could deny Notts County's strength and hard work.

On the night of the end of the game, the Notts County fans held a grand parade, it was like winning the championship, and the perennial battle in the lower leagues has made the Notts County fans accustomed to coarse tea and light meals, and are satisfied with the life of small wealth, but by chance one day won the second prize in the lottery, it is happier than winning the first prize, and now Notts County has advanced to the League Cup semi-finals, which is equivalent to winning the lottery.

The fans of Mansfield and Nottingham Forest, the sworn enemies of the same city, were sour in their hearts, but they expressed disdain on their lips, ridiculing Notts County fans for not seeing the world, and they were excited to be like this in the semi-finals of the League Cup.

And the Notts County fans looked down with a winner's attitude, leaving no room for hitting the two rival clubs: this is a typical pathological psychology of saying that grapes are sour if you can't eat grapes, the loser just needs to look up at the winner with a reverent gaze, in the face of strong strength, your best choice is to be silent, so that no one will treat you as ****.

The Carabao Cup quarter-finals were just a minor episode of the season, and the heat quickly wore off and Notts County's eyes shifted back to the league.

Before Christmas, there were only two league games and an FA Cup replay, but to the dismay of the players, on 26 December, the day after Christmas, there was still a League Two game to play, and it was still a battle at the top of the table, and their opponents were none other than Brighton.

Including the league on December 22, which means that the Notts County players will only have a maximum of three days off at Christmas, and this is without thinking about training, and if Loew were to train the day before the game against Brighton, it would effectively mean that the team would be in training on Christmas Day.

David doesn't have much sense of substitution for Christmas, because this is a foreigner's holiday, and he is still yellow in his bones.

But he also understands the mentality of the players, so he is thinking about whether to communicate with the league organizing committee and try to postpone the game, even if it is just for one day.

However, he also knows in his heart, I am afraid that with the status of Notts County, this kind of application will be rejected nine times out of ten, adjusting the schedule is not a simple matter, there are too many things that need to be coordinated, if Notts County is a Premier League giant, and on the grounds of European competition, it is possible to be approved, but on his side, it is going to be Christmas, and there is no drama for a while.

In the 22nd round of the league, Notts County defeated Chesterfield 5-0 away.

The absolute main players who did not get the chance to start the League Cup were holding their breath in this game to vent their frustration of not getting a chance to perform in the League Cup, so Chesterfield was unlucky.

Hubnell and Villa both scored twice from the starters, and substitute Di Natale also scored the icing on the cake, as Notts County's forward line showed razor-sharp fangs.

In the rest of the league round, the pursuers behind Notts County have all won, although it may have been a difficult process, but at least they have not been left behind, whether it is Brighton or Mansfield, they are gritting their teeth and insisting that no one wants to be the first to be left behind.

After this round of fixtures, Notts County have a replay of the second round of the FA Cup at home, against Maggsfield, who they failed to win on the road.

The Notts County players saw it as a humiliation when they were held to a draw away from home, and it taught them a vivid lesson in the need to be pampered at all times.

Alonso said in an interview before the game that this game was a battle of atonement, and they wanted to bow and apologize to the fans who went with the team to cheer for the team, they lived up to their expectations because of the inflated, and they will definitely win the opponent quickly and neatly, and give the victory to the fans as an early Christmas gift.
