The English Football League Cup, abbreviated as the League Cup, is an elimination football competition hosted by the English Football League.

Launched in 1960, the League Cup is open to members of the Premier League and English Football League (Championship, League One and League Two) for a total of 92 teams (excluding the two promoted teams from League Two).

Like the FA Cup, in the eyes of the Premier League's powerhouses, the cup competition is chicken ribs, and most teams will send a second team to the League Cup.

But when it comes to the semi-finals, the teams will still pay attention to it, after all, this is also a championship.

On 8 January, Everton will face their League Cup semi-final opponents Chelsea.

The semi-finals are played over two legs, with the Carabao Cup final coming in February.

However, David Moyes faces happy troubles as the team still have title hopes in the Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup, but Everton's squad cannot cope with the pressure of the third tier.

After training, Moyes went to the office of his boss, Bill.

"Hi David."

Bill noticed that Moyes's face was not good.

"What's wrong? Is Tang Zhenglong causing trouble again? ”

"Nope."

"What else can I do?"

Suddenly, Bill chuckled.

"Could it be that there is a team that wants to poach you with a high salary?"

……

"Not either."

Bill breathed a sigh of relief.

"What else could it be?"

Moyes held out three fingers.

"Premier League, FA Cup, League Cup, you choose one, I can only get you a trophy."

Bill understood immediately.

"Haha, so you're bothered by this."

"Choose."

"Do you really want to choose?"

Moyes nodded.

"That's good." Bill smiled with a sly look, "I want all three." ”

Moyes was slightly stunned.

"All three?"

"That's right, all three, you can open the bonus as you like, I'll try my best to be satisfied."

Moyes shook his head, "It's not about money, it's about our squad not being able to cope with the third-line battle. ”

Bill stood up and poured Moyes a cup of tea, then gave him a gentle tap on the shoulder.

'A lot of fringe players are also strong, as long as you give them a chance, Graveson, Pinard, these people are not much worse than the main team.

"And if you need reinforcements during the winter break, I will also fully support you."

Moyes shook his head, "I can't buy any reinforcements during the winter break. ”

"Then dig the potential inside, in short, I will not give up any championship."

Moyes laughed, no wonder Beal would be the owner, he has a kind of courage in him, maybe such a person can run a team.

Bill patted Moyes on the shoulder again, "Go ahead, David, the goal is set, all you have to do is make it happen." ”

What else can Moyes say? I could only nod and agree.

*****

Bang bang bang.

Grant clapped incessantly.

"Hurry, hurry."

After Grant took office, the tactics were actually inherited from Mourinho, and the team's attack had to be fast-paced.

Quickly tear apart the opponent's defence with two or three quick passes, then get the ball at the feet of the striker to score.

The ball reached Drogba's feet, and the Ivorian stuck the ball a little and immediately lost it.

Grant immediately stopped the training.

He walked towards Drogba.

"Didier, what's the matter with you?"

"I didn't have a line for the ball, so I stopped the ball."

Grant said angrily: "This is training, the opponent's defense will be tighter in the game, do you think the opponent will give you time to think?" ”

"Coach, I made a mistake once, you don't have to."

After Mourinho took over Chelsea, the pressure on Grant was already great, although Abou did not say it explicitly, but Grant understood that only the championship can satisfy the big guy.

"Once? It's a matter of attitude. ”

Drogba was a little upset, and this kind of suspension of training and teaching him a lesson was already a little humiliating.

"I hope it doesn't happen again."

Drogba nodded.

However, Drogba's basic skills were already average, coupled with the pressure from the coach, so after a while, he made another pass error.

The moment the ball rolled off the sideline, the court fell silent, waiting for Grant's rage to explode.

And Grant didn't break out, he threw a vest that symbolized the workhorse to Pizarro.

"Claudio, you're the team's main centre-forward for the next Carabao Cup."

Everyone is stupid.

"What are you doing in a daze? Let's train. ”

"Hurry!!"

*****

How much gossip is the British media?

The answer is super gossip.

Soon, news of the Chelsea infighting spread and was made known by the media.

Grant, of course, is in denial.

'It's a healthy competition in the team, Drogba needs to rest, and I think Claudio has been in good form lately.

The reporter asked: "Is it true that you were seen arguing with Drogba on the pitch?" ”

Grant laughed, "We're manly, not sissy, and if my voice is a little louder, it's called a fight, then I think you're ridiculous." ”

"I repeat, I have no contradiction with Drogba."

"Can you talk about Tang Zhenglong?"

For this topic, Grant is the most unhappy, why do you have to talk about Tang Zhenglong, a player on loan, every time?

'He's from Everton now and I don't want to talk about him.

Grant didn't talk about Tang Zhenglong here, and the reporter over there chased Tang Zhenglong and asked.

"Don, I heard that Drogba and Grant have a conflict, what do you think about this matter?"

"I don't know, I don't look at gossip."

'Don, if Grant ends up staying at Chelsea, would you consider a permanent move to Everton?'

"Again, this question I can't answer."

"Don, I heard you're dating your boss's daughter."

……

……

Tang Zhenglong was dumbfounded, do you know this?

After thinking about it for a fraction of a second in his head, Tang Zhenglong reacted quickly.

It's impossible to deny it, what if it's photographed later, but admit it? This is even more unlikely.

"I don't want to talk about my private life."

"Why? Is it the boss who forbids you to talk about your relationship with his daughter? Don, will you be the boss of Everton? ”

Burst.

How big are these guys' brains?

"I'm not obligated to report my private life to the media, and if you don't have any questions about football, then I'm leaving."

"Don, wait a minute."

"Wait a minute."

******

Argentina, Buenos Aires, Maradona was watching TV when he suddenly saw the news about Tang Zhenglong.

"What's the news for this little bastard?"

The old horse looked at it and was immediately furious.

"Bastard, hooking up with a new woman again, I'm pissed off."

Lao Ma's mind went back to last summer, how stupid he was, luring the wolf into the room.
