The winter transfer window lasts throughout January.
Although Manchester City has announced that the window has ended early, other teams are still making signings.
Therefore, the results of each team will fluctuate greatly this month.
But Manchester City's results have not fluctuated.
Winning two games in a row, he improved his winning streak in all competitions to 16 consecutive victories.
This is also very scary.
But because of the signings, the effect was not shocking.
On January 21, the English League Cup semi-finals are about to begin.
England turned its attention from the noisy signings to the playing field.
Because the two sides are Middlesbrough and Bolton.
fan:? ? ?
Oh, no!
This is another semi-final.
There is also a semi-final match between Manchester City and Arsenal!
Just asking if you are excited or not.
Arsenal are currently unbeaten in twenty-two rounds of the Premier League!
Shockingly strong!
Everyone used to call him the Gunner.
But this year, everyone calls him the Gun King!
Manchester City, undefeated in all competitions this season!
Scaryly strong!
Everyone used to call them Little Blue Moon.
But this year, the terrifying Blue Moon has swept across Europe.
This duel, even across Europe, is very attractive.
The EFL Cup shows how capable we are and how we can attract so much attention from the media and fans.
Now they themselves are a little embarrassed about the 100,000 pounds championship bonus.
As for any event with this level of popularity, which one won’t have a million-level championship reward?
One hundred thousand pounds?
If you can’t afford it, don’t play it!
The game will be held at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff as usual.
Both parties are regular visitors to this stadium.
Before the game, both sides also announced their starting lineups.
Arsenal:
Henry, Reyes
Pires, Vieira, Gilbert Silva, Ljungberg
Ashley Cole, Campbell, Kolo Toure, Wu Xudong
Lyman

The starting of new aid Reyes was something that many people did not expect.
Wenger was too bold.
No wonder people say he is good at developing young people.
In the EFL Cup semi-finals, basically all major teams will take it seriously and give their best.
Wenger can give Reyes a chance like this, which most people really can't do.
After Lehmann joined Arsenal this season, he quickly replaced Seaman and became Arsenal's "only Man"!
Arsenal are undefeated in the Premier League so far, which is also inseparable from Lehmann's good form.
But after looking at Manchester City's lineup, people have to say that Maxa is more ruthless.
Except for Reyes, Wenger is a pure main player.
You, Manchester City, actually still use the previous pure substitute lineup.
Torres, Villa
Deng Kai, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva
Mascherano
Ashley Young, Thiago Silva, Kompany, Sun Jihai
Neuer
=
Are you looking down on Arsenal or something?
Undefeated versus undefeated!
Substitute for the main team!
Arsenal's win rate in social media predictions is much higher than Manchester City's.
But this substitute is actually not weak either.
Four people like Torres, Villa, Fabregas, and David Silva have been nicknamed the "Four Dark Kings of Spain" by fans.
This title is taken from the popular Japanese cartoon, Digimon.
Torres rides alone and moves alone, just like the Iron Seadramon.
David Silva is as thin as a puppet beast.
David Villa can be called an offensive kaleidoscope, the most threatening, comparable to the Mechanical Evil Dragon Beast.
Fabregas has the highest talent and ceiling, and he seems to be the real core among the four, the clown king!
In addition, there is another huge attraction when these two teams meet, and that is the Chinese Derby.
When the two sides played against each other before, because Sun Jihai was only a substitute, he actually did not have much of a derby effect.
But this time, Arsenal's Wu Jisi Khan and Manchester City's China Sun were both starters.
Let domestic fans say it’s so enjoyable!
No matter what, there is a Chinese player who can reach the EFL Cup final!
As players from both sides lined up in the tunnel ready to play.
The atmosphere before the game was already full.
On Arsenal's bench, Wenger stood ready and looked solemn.
On the Manchester City bench, Guardiola and others are discussing some personal data of recent players on the team.
Guardiola: "When did Kai become so fast? Isn't this already a fast horse?"
Deschamps: "Well, Kai's speed has improved significantly since last season. This season he has strengthened his speed training."
"Although it is not as good as Torres, Ashley Young, and Franck Ribery, it is already much better than players such as Cesc Fabregas and Sun Jihai."
"It's considered an advantage."
Schmeichel: "And I feel that Kai's playing style is also changing. He has become more extreme this season, and he has done an even better job of organizing in the middle and breaking through from the wing."
"I think he's trying to transition."
Maxa nodded: "After all, judging from his age, Kai's physical development is basically the same. At this time, we can focus on developing his physical potential."
Guardiola and others couldn't help but sigh.
He now somewhat understands why Deng Kai was not eager to win the Golden Ball last year, and said that once he won the Golden Ball, he might not give others a chance.
Do you think Deng Kai is talking nonsense?
But in fact, this is just a normal estimate made by Deng Kai based on his own condition.
Before his body reached its peak, he was already able to win the golden ball.
What happens when his body reaches its peak?
A player's true peak period should be between the ages of twenty-four and twenty-six.
And Deng Kai is not yet nineteen years old this year.
Even if he falls off a cliff from his peak, he can at least dominate world football for another six or seven years.
These six or seven years may have been like a nightmare to other football stars in the world.
With a whistle, the game officially begins.
Third minute.
Ljungberg circled people on the wing and won a free kick for the team.
But Henry's free kick went directly over the crossbar.
Nine minutes.
Thiago Silva showed off his passing skills.
Launch an attack directly in the backcourt and make a long pass to find Torres who is moving forward.
Under the influence of Kolo Toure, Torres headed the ball wide and failed to create a threat.
Fifteenth minute.
Deng Kai holds the ball on the right.
Ashley Young quickly put it on.
Deng Kai passed the ball to find Ashley Young.
Wu Xudong quickly followed.
Ashley Young knocked back without stopping the ball.
Deng Kai received the ball and cut inside.
Wu Xudong turned around and chased Deng Kai. Deng Kai swayed his shoulders and pretended to dribble, but in fact he moved the ball under his feet and started to cut inside.
Wu Xudong tried to catch up, but found that Deng Kai's speed was obviously much faster than in the past, and it was difficult for him to make up the gap for a while.
boom!
Deng Kai passed the ball directly to Torres while cutting inside.
Kolo Toure raised his leg to kick the football out of the baseline and completed a wonderful clearance.
