Football's No. 1 Prodigal Son

After the match between Manchester City and Arsenal, the first leg of the other semi-final also came to a conclusion.

Manchester United defeated Wigan Athletic 2-0, laying a solid foundation for the second leg.

It is worth mentioning that the newly joined Downing also came off the bench in the second half and completed an assist.

Everything looks good.

After losing to Manchester City, Arsenal became the focus of the transfer market.

The next day, Arsenal officially announced that the team signed the young player Vasilyki Abou Diaby from the French Auxerre club for a transfer fee of 2 million euros.

Although this young player under the age of 20 did not play much in Auxerre, he was tall and long-legged, and played very cool and delicately. He was a player that Wenger liked at first glance.

But Yang Luo knew how miserable the fate of the French midfielder would be.

As a famous glass man, he spent much more time in the Arsenal hospital bed than on the field.

Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on him, as his first injury was caused by a fierce tackle.

Many English defenders of this era are very fierce and violent, which has caused many technical players to suffer.

And this is exactly why Yang Luo has always controlled Messi's playing time.

After signing Diaby, Arsenal announced another deal the next day, which was to win Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor for 5 million pounds!

This is a good deal. If you don't consider the striker's amazing slide, he has left something for Arsenal.

It's a pity that the slide really made Arsenal fans disgusted with him.

And Arsenal's pace has not stopped, and players have joined for the third consecutive day.

The player who joined this time is Theo Walcott!

This handsome black player is less than 17 years old, but Arsenal paid 5 million pounds. It can be seen how much Wenger thinks of him.

Indeed, Walcott is very fast and has great potential, but his subsequent growth has not met expectations.

Yang Luo certainly considered him before, but this kind of player who is neither high nor low did not make him send an offer in the end.

It's not that you are not good, it's that my vision is too high!

The three consecutive transactions also shocked the entire English football world. It seems that Wenger has also invested heavily this time and wants to achieve higher goals through reinforcement!

However, Yang Luo knows that these three people have not met Arsenal's expectations.

Although there is no loss, Arsenal has never become a championship-level team again.

When Arsenal was buying people crazily, Manchester City ushered in the next game.

The opponent in this game is Bolton.

Since Fabregas was injured in the League Cup match with them, Yang Luo's order for this game was to attack with all his strength and make Bolton regret the action of injuring Fabregas.

And the players did not disappoint Yang Luo. They blossomed in all aspects and finally won the opponent 4-0.

It is worth mentioning that in the second half of the game, Vidic replaced Kompany and completed his Manchester City debut.

And Fabregas also returned in this game and played for more than ten minutes.

In Yang Luo's expectation, both players will appear in the starting lineup of the second leg of the League Cup semi-final against Arsenal three days later.

What made Yang Luo even happier was that Chelsea was tied by Charlton at home in this round, and the points gap with Manchester City was widened to four points.

It seems that after Drogba went to participate in the African Cup, Chelsea's forward strength was still affected a little.

Another focus of this round is Manchester United's home game against Liverpool.

For Manchester United, this is a game that cannot be lost.

Now they are not in an advantageous position in the race for the top four, so they must win this six-point battle.

But unfortunately, Manchester United was tied by Liverpool in this game and did not seize the opportunity to close the score.

Tang Ning, who joined the team with a lot of money, started the game, did nothing in the whole game, and was eventually replaced by Giggs early.

Yang Luo couldn't help laughing after watching the whole game.

Is it going to show its true colors so soon?

Three days later, Manchester City came to North London to challenge Arsenal away.

This is the second round of the League Cup semi-finals. Since Manchester City won 3-0 in the first round, as long as they don't commit suicide in this game, the possibility of Manchester City advancing is almost 99%.

And Yang Luo also

Vidic and Fabregas were put in the starting lineup.

The other starters were substitutes, and the tone of this game was training!

As for Arsenal, the change from the previous game was that three new players, including Walcott, Adebayor and Diaby, all appeared on the field!

It seems that Wenger is also ready to focus on training, and this game is a strategic abandonment!

When the two teams started to shake hands before the game, Yang Luo on the sidelines was happy.

The four gentlemen of North London in football stalks actually appeared in this game!

Zhongyi Fa, Fan Xiongxin and Song Gongming, the people who hurt Arsenal the most, appeared on the field at the same time.

And in this game, there were also sick brother Diaby and sliding brother Adebayor. No matter how you look at it, you feel that Wenger has a hard life.

Yang Luo sighed on the sidelines. He looked at Wenger and couldn't help but rang a sentence in his heart: Loyalty sometimes hurts you.

Although there was no suspense in this game, a bunch of young players from both sides let go and showed their talents to their heart's content.

In the 21st minute, Alexander Song made a long pass to Adebayor who was advancing. Adebayor dribbled the ball to Lescott and sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area.

Van Persie made a right-footed shot to avoid the shooting space, and then shot with his left foot, making the score one to zero.

Manchester City was not to be outdone. In the 37th minute, Fabregas made a straight pass after breaking through the middle. Messi made a high-speed run and passed the central defender Giroud, then shot with his left foot and broke through the goal guarded by Almunia.

In the first half, the two sides were tied at one to one.

In the 61st minute, Manchester City changed the score again.

This time, Messi made a continuous breakthrough and sent the ball to the middle. Fabregas followed up and shot from the top of the penalty area, breaking through Arsenal's goal again.

Arsenal did not give up. In the 78th minute, Diaby dribbled forward and made a through pass after continuous breakthroughs. Adebayor leaned on Vidic and shot directly to equalize the score!

In the end, the score of the whole game was locked at 2-2, and Manchester City advanced to the League Cup final with a total score of 5-2!

In this game, Fan Hongxin, Song Gongming and Huaguige all performed well, which made Wenger feel more confident about the future of his team!
