After the laboratory test in the clinic, Lin Jianjun determined that Lu Ying had indeed taken drugs without knowing it, and this news was a painful blow to everyone present, especially Shen Chao, who was now eager to tear Xu Jing and Sun Zijie immediately to avenge Lu Ying. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lin Jianjun's suggestion was to send Lu Ying to a drug rehabilitation center, after all, she was not deeply contaminated, although the treatment process was painful, but fortunately it did not take too long.

Under the discussion between Nan Xiao and Shen Chao, they finally agreed to Lin Jianjun's suggestion, so under Lin Jianjun's introduction, Nan Xiao and several people took Lu Ying to a drug rehabilitation center on the outskirts of the city.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the drug rehabilitation center, and after completing the relevant procedures, Chen Mingshuo said to Nan Xiao and You Lu: "There is a game tomorrow, so you should hurry up and go back to rest first, and leave it to the three of us here."

Shi Yao, who was standing on the side, also said, "Yes, you all still have work, don't delay your rest."

"Okay, it's hard for you here, we'll call you if there's any situation." Nan Xiao said.

"Don't worry, no problem." Chen Mingshuo patted Nan Xiao's shoulder and said.

The wind was a little cool at night, and Nan Xiao and You Lu trotted all the way back to the car.

"I didn't expect this to happen." You Lu sighed.

"The world is unpredictable, maybe that's it." Nan Xiao's tone was also very low.

"I hope Lu Ying can be strong and get through."

"Definitely, with all of us with her, she will definitely get through." Nan Xiao said firmly.

Since the League Cup match started at half past three in the afternoon, the two of them only rested for less than five hours before getting up, and after a simple breakfast, Nan Xiao first sent You Lu to the studio, and then returned to the club by himself.

"Amy, come over here." Nan Xiao said on the phone.

Amy soon appeared in Nanshaw's office, "Give this starting list to Bracewell. Nan Xiao handed the prepared materials to Amy.

"Okay, Coach." Amy took the material with both hands.

After the preparations before the start of the game, the time had come to two o'clock in the afternoon, Nan Xiao took a little free time to call Chen Mingshuo, and temporarily relieved himself after learning that Lu Ying was fine.

"South, the players are all in the dressing room." After Nanshaw hung up, Bracewell's voice rang in his ears.

"Oh, okay." Nan Xiao responded.

With all the players in the dressing room in place for this game, Nan Xiao went to the players' tunnel with the players after briefly arranging the tactical priorities.

Because it was a midweek game, there were not many fans who came to the scene today, about 30,000 to 40,000 people, Nan Xiao sat in the coach's seat after entering the stadium, You Lu could clearly see his depressed mood from the broadcast camera, knowing that he was worried about Lu Ying's situation.

"This Carabao Cup match will be played against Sunderland, who are currently sixth in the Premier League, hosting Norwich City, who are third in the Championship......

"Before the start of the game, I would like to introduce to you the starting lists of both sides in this game; Sunderland's side lined up the 4231 formation they are good at, but there were big changes in the starting line-up and the league, first of all, the goalkeeper position, Pickford replaced Mannone, Van Aanholt and Billy Jones still sat on the two wings on the defensive line, and the center-back combination was Koné's partner with veteran O'Shea; Captain Cattermor and youngster Watmore form the team's back two, with Borini in the attacking line as the central striker, and behind him from left to right, Murphy, Zhang Xiuwei and Carlos. ”

"At the same time, Norwich's starting lineup is ......"

Due to the relatively weak strength of Norwich City, Nan Xiao boldly discharged this set of lineups that are basically all substitutes, on the one hand, in order not to make the main players too tired, and on the other hand, to examine the ability and state of the substitute players.

Sunderland, who had the home advantage at the start of the game, launched an active attack, with Murphy and Carlos relying on their speed to bombard Norwich's two flanks in turn, and dominated the field.

Zhang Xiuwei did a very good job of threading the needle, and although he did not have a very dangerous pass, he was always able to move the ball to the weak side at the right time to constantly mobilize the opponent's backline.

"Norwich City don't have the upper hand on the pitch, but they don't seem to be in a hurry from the look on the faces of the manager and the players, and as the rules of the Carabao Cup are that the first draw will be moved to the home stadium of the other team, Norwich City are happy to accept the result of the draw."

"Positional warfare seems to be very difficult to pose a threat to the adversary." Nan Xiao said to Bracewell beside him.

"As things stand, Norwich's three lines are tightened and the two wings are recycled deep, not giving Murphy and Carlos a chance to break through at all." Braitwell replied.

'There are still 10 minutes left in the first half, so let's see if the players on the pitch can create some more threats. Nan Xiao looked at his watch and said, he turned around and waved, "Rodwell, Larsson, Toure, go to the sidelines to warm up." ”

"Let's go and warm up Defoe, this kind of game might need a breaking point like him." Braitwell suggested.

"Defoe, go too." Nan Xiao accepted his suggestion.

Sunderland almost scored in the final stages of the first half, the Norwich City defender made a mistake in the penalty area and kicked a pass that was not far away, Borini observed the landing point of the ball and leaned on the central defender behind him, and made the ball firmly to the Chinese teenager Zhang Xiuwei who faced the goal, Zhang Xiuwei met the ball and pulled out a long shot with the outside of the box with the outside of the box, the ball hit the connection point between the left post and the crossbar in a high-speed flight, and almost flew into the Norwich goal. The Sunderland fans were extremely disappointed with the shot, and then immediately gave Zhang Xiuwei a round of applause.

After returning to the dressing room, Nanshaw made a personnel change, with Larsson coming off the bench to replace Murphy on the wing, with Carlos filling his position on the left and Larsson continuing to play on the right.

After the adjustment, Sunderland naturally increased the number of crosses in the second half and began to play high; In the 60th minute of the game, Nan Xiao made personnel adjustments again, and Defoe came off the bench to replace Brazilian teenager Carlos, which advanced Van Aanholt's position again, forming a formation of three central defenders, and Defoe and Borini also increased their attacking points in the penalty area.

"Sunderland's formation has changed to 352, and Billy Jones has his own centre-back attributes, so it's a good strategy to adjust......

Sunderland quickly paid off after the second substitution, as Van Aanholt's cross from the left found the Italian striker Borini in ambush at the back post with great accuracy, and with no guard, Borini comfortably slotted the ball into the Norwich goal.

Sunderland lead 1-0!

Sunderland seemed to find their rhythm after Bolini's goal, with goals from Defoe and Cattermmore finally killing the suspense, with Swedish midfielder Larsson and Chinese teenager Zhang Xiuwei providing the assists.

'It was Zhang's first assist for Sunderland FC, and his clever cross found Cattermole in front of him, while the latter's low shot was brilliant and the ball passed between the legs of the goalkeeper and rolled into the goal behind him.

Sunderland have lost just one of their nine games since the start of the new season, the league away at Old Trafford, and are unbeaten in their remaining eight matches, including fan-talked-about feats such as a draw with Tottenham at White Hart Lane and a win over Liverpool at Anfield.

The outstanding performance since the new season has also made Nan Xiao's status in the hearts of fans continue to rise, and many fans have even begun to call on the club to build a separate stand in the name of Nan Xiao.

Sunderland also reached the last 16 of the Carabao Cup with a win over visiting Norwich City, and after the draw on the second day, they also confirmed their opponents in the quarter-finals, also from the Championship, Newcastle United.

That's right, the same team that former Liverpool decorated coach Rafael Benitez coached.
