Sheffield Wednesday, who have won three in a row, are even more impressive, and they are gearing up to wait at home for Liverpool, even if the opposition is the most successful team in England's history, and the Sheffield Wednesday lads will have to pull each other down.

Compared with Sheffield Wednesday's smooth sailing, Liverpool's recent situation is a little bad, not only was it overtaken by Everton in the league, but Hamann also suffered a minor injury, which made the Liverpudlians, who were already greatly damaged by injuries, even more devastated. The harsh reality has forced Liverpool's new boss Rafael Benitez to consider whether to give up the Carabao Cup tie with Sheffield Wednesday.

Before the start of the game, when Li Chengfeng got Liverpool's appearance list, he felt relieved, the other party really didn't mean to fight hard with him, and even hid the core of the midfield, Alonso and the veteran Hamann, and replaced it with the young Letale, who had been rented out for exercise, but Liverpool's injury was too serious, and he was called back.

It seems that Benitez is really scared, Gerrard is still in the hospital bed, Alonso is actually returning from injury not long ago, if he is injured again, Liverpool's midfield will collapse, and others have no ability to act as the core of the midfield. In contrast, Hamann is more of an engineer, he is older, he has also been injured this season, and now he still has a small injury, and Benitez simply let him rest.

Either way, it's good news for Sheffield Wednesday, with Liverpool's midfield lacking three absolute mainstays and their midfield control must be severely weakened. Lee Seung-peak also decided to resume the pass-and-control style of play in this game, starting from the control of the midfield to press Liverpool, and strive to win this game.

Liverpool's players worked hard and lived up to the Reds' title, but the absence of most of the team's main players, and even the absence of the main goalkeeper, made their struggle seem a little overwhelmed.

Sheffield Wednesday controlled the ball in midfield and Liverpool's substitutes ran desperately to intercept it, but could not get the ball down. Even when they were given possession, the midfielders, who lacked playmakers, were unable to create enough threat and often had to shoot from distance.

Sheffield Wednesday, who controlled the midfield, were in complete control of the game, and they were not in a hurry to score, but unhurriedly used the pass to wear down the physical strength and patience of the Liverpool players, like a poisonous snake, waiting for the prey to reveal its flaws, and then give the opponent a fatal blow.

Such an opportunity soon came, the first half was uneventful after 30 minutes, Sheffield Wednesday team kept the ball in midfield as usual, and the Liverpool team was not as active as before, in any case, being slipped by someone else for 30 minutes, everyone will be discouraged, not everyone is always full of fighting spirit Gerrard, and their physical strength is not enough to support them to keep chasing like this, and they also need to rest.

But at this time, Guardiola, who had the ball, was keenly aware of the changes in Liverpool's defense, and decisively passed a straight shot, and the ball was caught off guard and passed from behind Liverpool's substitute midfielder Welsh, and was picked up by Ederson.

Ederson ran forward with the ball, and Liverpool's substitute defender Biscayne hurriedly stepped forward to fill in. Ederson was not greedy and distributed the ball to the right wing. Bellion arrived quickly, accelerated past the opposing right-back Warnock, and rushed towards the penalty area with the ball.

In desperation, Liverpool's Pellegrino had no choice but to step forward to block, he knew that he was old, his speed was too slow, and he would only be used by Belion to pass by his speed, just standing in his position and trying his best to reduce the angle of Belleon's shot.

Knowing his intentions, Vonock was approaching behind him, pretending to be reluctant to shoot, poking his toes and stabbing the ball quickly behind Pellegrino.

Pellegrino was aware of Bellion's intentions, but his body could not keep up with his thoughts, and he barely turned around, only to tripped over himself and fell on the lawn. When Pellegrini watched the unmarked Braten easily get the ball and hit him into the goal guarded by substitute goalkeeper Carson, he couldn't help but have a kind of heroic sadness in his heart, if he could be a few years younger, this conceded goal would not exist.

The goal conceded would have left Liverpool with no way out, and they had to attack if they didn't want to be eliminated, but Benitez didn't choose to fight back right away, and Liverpool only ended the attack with a long-range shot from Rieser after restarting the game, and then took it back, leaving Sheffield Wednesday to control the ball in their half, and there was no intention of pressing out the counterattack.

The one-goal lead made Lee Chengfeng a little excited, although it was also because of the injury absence of the opponent's main goalkeeper Dudek that made this goal so easy, but the situation is going in the direction he expected, Benitez should not waste energy in the Carabao Cup again, Sheffield Wednesday is nine out of ten in the final.

It seems that Benitez has the intention of giving up this game, but Li Chengfeng will not be careless, after all, the opponent is a Premier League giant, and the strength is strong, even if they are only half of the strength now, the Sheffield Wednesday team must go all out to compete with them.

In the second half, Liverpool, in addition to replacing the young player Pongele to strengthen the midfield, attacked for more than ten minutes, and found that it had no effect, so it died down, as if calmly accepting the result of being eliminated from the League Cup, which made Li Chengfeng suspicious and happy.

Lee Seung-bong speculated that Benitez might have had the idea of abandoning the Carabao Cup before the game, because of the tough and brutal performance of the Sheffield Wednesday team in the last leg, he didn't want to pay too much price in the Carabao Cup, especially the risk of injury to the main players, so he sent substitutes mainly young players, wanting to use their impact to fight. If you can win, it's the best, even if you lose, it won't affect the more important league and Champions League matches. When the game fell behind and there was no hope of equalizing in a short period of time, he gave up, after all, he was unwilling to play extra time. And even if they win this game, they will have to play the winner of Chelsea and Manchester United in the final, and there is little hope of winning the trophy. Rather than fighting for this kind of chicken rib game, it is better to concentrate on playing well in the league and the Champions League, and strive for good results, you know, Liverpool is still fighting with Everton for fourth place in the league and qualifying for next season's Champions League.

Regardless, Sheffield Wednesday won the game comfortably, with the final score being 2-1, with Guarin's free-kick giving Sheffield Wednesday a two-goal lead, while Liverpool pulled a goal back in stoppage time from a long-range strike from Reese. This goal was a little careless on the part of Sheffield Wednesday's defenders, seeing that victory was in sight, Sheffield Wednesday's young players were a little unfocused, although Li Chengfeng emphasized before the game to be careful with his long-range shot, but in the end he was given a chance. Reese stole from a careless Bellion and cut inside before Francis could get in and fired straight into the net before the Sheffield Wednesday players rushed up to block after they had just seen the referee on the sidelines raise the sign for two minutes of stoppage time.

Still too young, Li Chengfeng saw the lost goal, waved his hand a little annoyed, and roared angrily, so that the players cheered up and concentrated on the game: "The game is not over yet, give me attention, make this mistake again, and practice tomorrow." ”

Sheffield Wednesday won the game without danger and reached the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea, who eliminated Manchester United, much to the disappointment of Belion, who had hoped that he would be able to show his quality against his former club before returning to Manchester United at the end of his loan spell.

This season's Chelsea ushered in a new manager, the madman Mourinho was reborn after the rebirth, the original habitual drop of the chain has completely disappeared, Mourinho in a short period of time to train this mercenary into a formidable iron-blooded army, this season in the Premier League is unbeatable, the league has 14 rounds left, has been ahead of the second place Arsenal as many as 10 points, and the consistency of the performance is simply desperate for the pursuers, winning the Premier League title can be said to be a sure thing.

Arsenal's performance this season is also very good, after winning the championship undefeated last season, if it were not for Chelsea's sudden rise this season, I am afraid that the Premier League would have won two consecutive championships, but unfortunately Abu's gold yuan and Mourinho's iron blood changed all this, and then Arsenal tightened the money in order to build a new stadium, and the Premier League also changed from Arsenal and Manchester United to Chelsea and Manchester United.

However, this has nothing to do with Lee, he only knows that he still needs to defeat Chelsea, a formidable opponent, to enter the Europa League, but against Chelsea, who have been almost impeccable this season, how can he win this game? Li Chengfeng was full of distress.

Originally, Li Chengfeng didn't need to worry, if it was before, even if Sheffield Wednesday lost this final, because Chelsea was destined to play in the Champions League, Sheffield Wednesday team could also qualify for the League Cup, but this season the situation has changed, and the runners-up of the League Cup will no longer qualify for the League Cup.

The FA Cup runners-up are retained to participate in the League Cup on the premise that the champion qualifies for the Champions League, but Li Chengfeng does not dare to bet, in the real world, the two teams that play the role of the FA Cup this season are the Premier League giants Manchester United and Arsenal, and they lost the opportunity to play the league early This season If they don't want to get nothing, the FA Cup is their only solace, and they want to snatch the opportunity to advance from the hungry hands, but I am afraid that it will be more difficult than defeating Chelsea, after all, Chelsea's focus is still on the league and the Champions Cup, They don't take the Carabao Cup as seriously as the other two wolves.

But trouble aside, now that we've come to this place, Lee doesn't want to give up easily, and Chelsea still need to be distracted from Premier League and Champions League games, which is Sheffield Wednesday's only hope.
