693 I'll be back next year!
In the quarter-finals of the League Cup, Liverpool reversed Watford 2-1 away.
A goal was conceded in the opening 12 minutes, but Crouch equalised for Liverpool in first-half stoppage time, before Gareth Bale put Liverpool ahead in the 75th minute.
In the end, Liverpool eliminated Watford 2-1 and successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the League Cup.
Arsenal's luck was not so good, as the Gunners lost 2-0 away to Burnley.
Arsene Wenger was furious after the game and was very unhappy with his team's performance, believing that this was not the way a Premier League team should behave.
The outside world basically agrees with Wenger's anger, because there is no hope for the league, and the Champions League is not to think about it, and what can really be used to cover up the shame is the League Cup and FA Cup.
Now knocked out of the Carabao Cup, Arsenal will have to give it all to play in the FA Cup, otherwise they will be doomed to be empty-handed this season.
In addition to Liverpool and Burnley, Manchester United and Derby County also stand out in the semi-finals, with the two legs of the semi-finals taking place in January.
……
On the afternoon of December 5, in the sixteenth round of the Premier League, Liverpool challenged Blackburn away from home.
Although it is an away game, Liverpool has shown extraordinary courage in this game, launching an offensive against the main side at the beginning, and in the 19th minute, Kuyt passed directly, Yang Yang successfully countered offside, and single-handedly shook the opponent's goalkeeper Robinson to score.
Then the two sides went back and forth, and the fight was impressive.
After the second half, Liverpool continued to increase their attacking intensity.
In the 69th minute, Gerrard's cross from the right was blocked by a defender, and Xavi Alonso followed up with a direct long-range shot that once again penetrated the Blackburn Rovers goal.
Ten minutes later, it was another pass from Kuyt on the right, and after Yang Yang shook off Volnock, he hit the goal from a tight angle and scored a brace to help the team extend the score to 3-0.
After that, Blackburn Rovers recovered a goal from Santa Cruz, but Liverpool in the 95th minute, Yang Yang made continuous passes on the left side, first wanted to pass to Gerrard, who was inserted later, but was tackled by goalkeeper Robinson, but Yang Yang followed up and passed to Gerrard again, and the Liverpool captain this time directly pushed the empty goal.
Four to one, Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers away.
Yang Yang, who had just won the European Ballon d'Or for the second consecutive year, scored a brace and contributed an assist, which won the best of the game.
But Yang Yang himself said in an interview with the media after the game that scoring goals was not his happiest thing.
'As I said before, the coaching staff have adjusted the training for me and I hope to be able to maintain my form in December and the following winter break, so this game is definitely a good start and I'm happy with my form and performance so far.
……
Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 4-1 away to continue leading the Premier League table.
Chelsea beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 away.
Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic 1-0 at home.
Manchester United, on the other hand, beat Black Cats Sunderland 1-0 at home.
Among them, the Red Devils did not perform well in this round, and it was not until the 91st minute that a long-range shot from Carrick hit the defender by chance, and Vidic hit the close-range shot.
It can be said that this goal was full of luck and coincidence.
Throughout the game, United had a whopping 85 per cent possession and 31 shots on goal, but never found the back of the net, and Cristiano Ronaldo's performance was completely out of order, especially in terms of emotional control, and he deliberately kicked people again in the first half, which seriously affected his image.
In the 66th minute, the Portuguese also went off injured.
The outside world has interpreted this as Cristiano Ronaldo's mentality is completely unbalanced after losing the European Ballon d'Or, and his performance this season has not returned to the peak form of last season, making his recent performance even more abnormal.
Ferguson, on the other hand, believes the Portuguese need to be given a little time to adjust and recover.

On the afternoon of December 7, Yang Yang and Su Ye arrived in Paris by private jet.
As soon as the two left the airport, they were immediately warmly welcomed by the French media and fans.
Yang Yang, who has just won the Player of the Month award for November in the Premier League and the best of the month for three consecutive months, looks in a very good mental state, smiling all the time, and unconditionally satisfying the demands of the media and fans.
The clothes that Yang Yang and Su Ye wore to the award ceremony were still sponsored by Armani, their sponsor, and this time they will be broadcast live to the world.
Newcomer new style, after Denis Shomill took office, he made a lot of changes to the award process, such as the new Golden Globe Award is the first time Yang Yang has seen it, and it was not sent to Yang Yang's home in advance to take pictures as before.
When Yang Yang stepped into the venue, he immediately felt the weight of this trophy.
When Dennis Shomill asked Yang Yang with a smile what it was like to win this award for the second time, Yang Yang smiled and said, "This one this year is a little heavy, very beautiful, and it is a little newer than the Golden Globe that I have collected for a year at home." ”
This joking sentence made Xiao Mill and the others laugh out loud.
Following this topic, Dennis Shomill also mentioned that he visited Yang Yang's home a week ago, and mentioned that Yang Yang's house has a special room for storing trophies and medals.
'When I walked into that room, I was really surprised, there were so many trophies and medals in the window, some in the Eredivisie, some in the Premier League, and I couldn't believe it was a 22-year-old professional footballer's collection of honours and trophies. When Xiao Mill recalled, he was quite shocked.
And the TV host also jokingly said that when Yang Yang moves in the future, it is estimated that just to move these trophies, he will have to hire a special moving company, and it will take a lot of effort.
Yang Yang explained this, believing that collecting these trophies was a spur and encouragement to him.
"Whenever I feel tired, or when I feel like I'm not feeling good, I go into that room." Yang Yang said lightly, "Every time I walk in front of a trophy or a medal, I can clearly recall the experience of getting this trophy and medal, and the efforts I made for it." ”
"Every time I do this, I keep telling myself that I am not good enough, I can do better."
When Xiao Mill and everyone in the studio heard this, they all applauded.
French football magazines and TV stations also created a little surprise for Yang Yang, this time they specially invited Van Basten, a Dutch legend who won the European Ballon d'Or last time, to come to the scene in person, which surprised Yang Yang.
It's been a long time since I've seen Van Basten, and although it's only been a little over two years, it feels like a long time.
Van Basten took the initiative to hug Yang Yang and was full of praise for him, saying that in his mind, Yang Yang is the strongest player in football today, "In fact, from the first time I saw him, I knew that he was an extraordinary player. ”
"He was very young at the time, but I saw in him a spirit, a spirit to strive for the top and never give up, and I decided that he would be an incredible player, but I never imagined that he would be where he is today, and I am proud and proud of that."
Van Basten also said that Yang Yang is still very young, "He is only 22 years old, he is about to have his best golden years, I hope he can continue to work hard, next year, the year after that, and even every year after, I hope to see him standing here." ”
Yang Yang was also very happy with the wishes from Van Basten and hugged this senior who was also a teacher and friend.
Van Basten really taught him a lot of things during his time at Ajax.
In addition to the surprise brought by Van Basten, Van Gaal in Alkmaar, the Netherlands, Benitez in Liverpool, and Yang Yang's previous head coach Ronald Koeman, and even the head coach John Repp when he was in Almere also appeared on the big screen one by one.
In addition, some celebrities invited by the organizers also appeared on the scene through video and sent their blessings to Yang Yang for winning the award, the most interesting of which was Yang Yang's group of teammates during the Ajax period.
Ibrahimovic even arrogantly shouted in the video, asking Yang Yang to hold the throne more securely.
"You wait for me, I'll overthrow you next year!"
Yang Yang was very touched by this, and he kept thanking everyone for their love and support.
"I am a very emotional person, I am very touched to be praised and supported by everyone, and I would like to assure all those who choose me, support me and love me that I will do my best, try to play every game, strive to improve my strength, and never disappoint everyone's high expectations!"
"I hope that next year, the year after that, the year after that, and even every year after that, as Marco said, I will be able to stand here, and I will work tirelessly for this!"
Yang Yang's declaration made the scene burst into thunderous applause.
This is a testament to his determination and fighting spirit, proving that even though he has won two European Ballon d'Or awards, he is still hungry and aggressive, he wants to do better, and he doesn't want to disappoint all those who support and like him.
And there is one in front of Yang Yang, that is, Michel Platini, a famous figure in French football.
The former French legend and current UEFA president appeared in the video link just now, and he encouraged Yang Yang to make persistent efforts and strive to come back next year.
In the history of the European Ballon d'Or, only one person has won three times in a row, and that is Platini.
And now, Yang Yang has won two consecutive terms, with his current state and performance, I believe that as long as he continues to work hard, it is not impossible to win three consecutive terms.
Tying Platini's Ballon d'Or for three consecutive titles, this will undoubtedly cause the world to shock again.
