England's FA Cup semi-finals this year were supposed to be before the just-completed 34th round of the league.
However, due to a series of crashes in the schedule, the FA moved the time back.
Arranged behind the thirty-fourth round.
Subsequent Premier League games were partially moved back.
Among them, there are several duels between strong teams. We will decide whether to move them back further depending on the situation in the Champions League semi-finals and finals.
Because if the Premier League team reaches the final, then in order to make way for the Champions League, the final round of the Premier League will most likely start after the Champions League.
This is a rare move by the Premier League to make way for the Champions League in recent years.
This is also inspired by La Liga's schedule for the Copa del Rey.
Who made La Liga win the Champions League for two consecutive years recently?
Although the main hero is Lu Yang.
But do you dare to say that the schedule does not have even a little bit of credit?
Just that little bit may be the key to the Premier League winning the Champions League.
Chelsea and Barcelona, Arsenal and Real Madrid, except for Lu Yang, the only difference is that little bit!
Talk about it.
Before the thirty-fourth round, the top four of the three major European competitions have been announced.
In the UEFA Cup, the top four are Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur of the Premier League, Olympique Marseille of Ligue 1, and Slavia Prague of the Czech First Division.
In the Europa League, the top four are Manchester City in the Premier League, Barcelona in La Liga, Juventus in Serie A, and Red Bull Leipzig in the Bundesliga.
As for the Champions League, it’s a bit exciting.
Chelsea, who beat Bayern 1-0 in the first round, lost 1-0 in the second round, leaving Bayern without any temper.
Without Robbery, Bayern's explosive ability has dropped significantly.
You can't see it when facing a normal team, but when facing a super defensive team, the difference is like clouds and mud.
Chelsea stepped on Bayern's corpse and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Many Bayern fans discovered that the team cannot live without Robbery.
Because Liverpool, with Robery and Carlisle, actually trailed Real Madrid 1-2 in the first round and made a huge comeback 4-2 in the second round!
For the third time, the Galaxy Battleship collapsed at a critical moment.
Izellet was injured in the first 20 minutes while fighting with Najib.
The key is that Izellet tackled Najib, but Najib was fine and Izellet was completely destroyed.
In the next game, although Zizzo instigated and assisted teammates Alfa and Henriquez's goals.
But they couldn't stand up to three goals from Carlisle and Robery on Liverpool's side.
Even so, Real Madrid still has an away goal advantage.
As a result, in the 80th minute, in order to fight for their lives, Liverpool removed the team's fire-fighting right back John Peel and replaced him with an all-around midfielder Versage to strengthen the attack.
In the 85th minute, Najib launched the attack with a long pass, and Gerondo finally completed the long shot.
However, the shot was blocked by Real Madrid defender Landene with his thigh and was blocked outside the penalty area.
Versage imitated Zizzo, volleying from the sky and flying into the sky.
Help Liverpool defeat Real Madrid.
Real Madrid has established itself as one of the most difficult characters in football. The superstars in their team must fail at critical moments, for four consecutive years, without exception.
Liverpool created a miracle and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League again after five years.
The last time they reached the semi-finals, they counterattacked AC Milan and successfully won the cup, leaving behind the story of the Miracle in Istanbul.
AC Milan, on the other hand, had a draw with Atletico Madrid in the first round.
In the second round, striker Gutierrez, who moved from Chelsea to AC Milan this season, seemed to have finally regained his former feelings. He imitated the sage Lu Yang with a hat trick and turned Atletico Madrid into a sissy team.
Of course, Soger's two assists are also crucial.
Atletico forward Nick Young scored a goal in the 80th minute, but it didn't help matters.
AC Milan defeated Atletico Madrid and advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
The last Champions League semi-final spot was born between Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.
In the first round, the two teams were tied three to three.
In the second round, at the Dream Theater, Perrotta's hat trick showed the true nature of the Red Wolf!
Highlander had two shots and one pass, once tying the score.
But at the critical moment, Aveiro created a point in the penalty area and took the penalty kick himself. The penalty kick defeated Paris and refused overtime!
The battle between the two stars once again ended with Aveiro winning.
Manchester United enters the semi-finals again!
In addition, in addition to the three major European competitions, the semi-finals of the Premier League and FA Cup were also born early.
They are Newcastle, Tottenham, Manchester City and Liverpool.
From this point of view, all four teams have dual tasks of European competition and league.
The FA Cup semi-finals are grouped with Tottenham and Manchester City.
Newcastle and Liverpool are in a group.
Manchester City's lineup is full of top stars, and the bench is full of immediate players. The substitutes can form a main force in the Premier League.
But Tottenham are also stubborn, and the UEFA Cup is insignificant to them.
Under the pressure of league relegation, they chose to abandon the UEFA Cup and focus on the league and FA Cup.
As a result, in the semi-finals, Manchester City and Tottenham went head-to-head, and Tottenham was defeated by Manchester City.
Manchester City easily advanced to the FA Cup final.
Not only did Tottenham lose the FA Cup, they also wasted a chance to rest.
The teams next door to Newcastle and Liverpool are different.
Newcastle released the news early and will go all out.
Liverpool is in trouble.
Because they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League this year, their goal is naturally to win the Champions League.
Compared to the Champions League, the Premier League is slightly less enjoyable, let alone the FA Cup?
Liverpool right back Moruno's broken leg injury is still before his eyes, and the scar has not healed, so the pain cannot be forgotten.
In the end, Liverpool sent out a substitute + youth training lineup to fight.
Beaten by Newcastle 3-0.
Sauber scored twice.
Chiesa scored.
Lu Yang sent two assists.
This treatment really pisses Tottenham off.
The boss of Tottenham openly criticized Liverpool and Newcastle for playing tacit football, and believed that Liverpool's failure to use the full lineup was disrespectful to the FA Cup.
But at the same time, he insulted Manchester City's Gudiola in another interview, saying that he still sent all the main players in the FA Cup under the pressure of the Europa League and the league championship. He was simply a dog.
Such contradictory remarks made people laugh at the Tottenham boss who couldn't afford to lose.
Compared with Tottenham's request, it's not what you want.
The "royal" treatment at Newcastle is simply insane with envy.
However, some people think it is because of good treatment, but some people can see why Newcastle can receive such royal treatment.
Compared to Tottenham, Newcastle are more resolute and will play with all their main players if they speak out early.
At the same time, Newcastle's Lu Yang, Kyle Reese, and Deas have always been known for their tough defense.
In addition, they also have Boyle, a full-back who likes to tackle, and a physical monster like Lucatu on their team.
If you're not careful, it's really easy to injure your opponent.
Arsenal are afraid of such a threat.
Liverpool is naturally afraid too.
As for Tottenham, since Finger joined Tottenham, Tottenham's record has improved a lot, and the football has become much smoother and more beautiful.
After all, Finger was once the top midfielder in Serie A. After leaving Inter Milan's terrible locker room, he quickly regained his form at Tottenham.
But the biggest reason why Finger was abandoned by the Italian national team was actually not because of his poor performance.
It's because he doesn't have a good relationship with Lu Yang, ah... but it's because his playing style is soft.
Coupled with the addition of Brazilian full-back Gelis, Tottenham's offensive speed has indeed increased, but it has also taken a while.
The intensity has dropped compared to before.
Besides, how could Gudiola be scared by such a team?
Gudiola is a head coach that even Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are not afraid of. It is completely normal for him to play with all his strength.
To put it bluntly, Tottenham are just unlucky.
If they had played Liverpool instead, they might have been able to miss out.
They have reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup, but Liverpool are still willing to give up.
I have to say that this Liverpool team is really willing to make decisions.
This kind of spirit has been underestimated in the Champions League odds for the time being.
But it's definitely not a bad thing.
…
May 5th.
The first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-finals begins.
Newcastle's luck in the FA Cup turned into misfortune in the UEFA Cup, which made Tottenham a lot happy.
Tottenham drew Slavia Prague of the Czech First Division, the weakest of the semi-finals.
Newcastle were drawn against French giants Marseille.
In the seventh minute of the game, Tavares guided a long pass and assisted Sauber to complete the goal.
But after Sauber scored, he collided with the goalkeeper and his knees touched his knees.
The team doctor rushed in and carried Sauber off the field, with Beckenham coming on as a substitute.
In the 31st minute, Beckenham assisted Manjujovic to score.
Leading Marseille 2-0.
In the 53rd minute of the second half, as the confrontation became more intense, Flick replaced Manjujovic with Lucatu.
In the 68th minute, Lukatu lost the ball and Marseille launched a counterattack. The winger countered offside and scored with a single goal to get a goal back.
In the 86th minute, Tavares lost his defensive position. Lu Yang made a defensive foul, received a yellow card, and gave the opponent a free kick.
The opponent scored directly from a free kick and tied the score at 2-2.
Afterwards, the two sides made no further achievements.
After the game, Sauber's injury was determined. He had cartilage damage in his knee and there were two treatment options.
One is surgical treatment. The advantage is that Sauber can recover and reach competition status after one month.
But the disadvantage is that after one month, the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup, and the Premier League will all be over.
There is no game for Newcastle, so it doesn't matter whether Sauber is good or not.
The only thing that has an impact is probably the European Cup, which will start less than a month after the end of all competitions this season.
That is Sauber's national team recruitment, training and competition.
After surgical treatment, Sauber retained the opportunity to play in the European Cup, but lost the opportunity to play for the club.
Another option is conservative treatment.
Sauber's normal athletic ability will not be affected, and Sauber can continue to play for Newcastle in the next game.
But his injury will not be completely healed, and there is a high probability that it will relapse after a few games. If surgery is performed at that time, the recovery period will be at least three months.
The advantage is that Sauber can still play for Newcastle for a period of time, and this period is the most difficult time for Newcastle and when they need someone to step up and grab points.
The downside is that this almost means saying goodbye to the European Cup for Sauber.
Sauber was once a regular in the England national team and even an attacking spear.
But with the sluggish state, reduced ability, and the impact of injuries, he has not received any signs of the national team for a long time.
Sauber has taken on a new lease of life at Newcastle this season.
Especially in recent times, with the players' physical crisis, the running distance of the entire team's players has been declining.
Newcastle's offense and defense had some problems.
Only Lu Yang increased his running range and concealed the truth of Newcastle's physical collapse.
However, Lu Yang was unable to use his hands as a result and was completely reduced to a defensive position, scoring significantly fewer goals.
At this time, it was Sauber who stood up and grabbed points for Newcastle.
Seven goals and two assists in the UEFA Cup.
Two goals in the FA Cup.
Twenty-four goals and five assists in the league.
He has contributed a total of 33 goals and seven assists to Newcastle, making him a well-deserved point-grabber.
Newcastle cannot live without him.
Originally, this matter was Newcastle's own business. Slowly discussing it will always lead to a result that satisfies everyone.
However, there was a problem on Sauber's side.
"Lu, I'm sorry..." Sauber took the initiative to call Lu Yang, and the two agreed to meet at a coffee shop near Lu Yang's home.
Lu Yang went out and read sports news.
The situation is really as bad as Sauber said.
His condition was leaked by his agent.
The team told Sauber about the condition out of respect for Sauber.
You know, during the season, the team does not need to tell Sauber about his true condition.
All Sauber's examinations must be conducted at a medical institution arranged by the team or must be approved by the team.
In extreme cases, the team can ask Sauber to play through injury.
Of course, no team would do that, it would be stupid.
However, now Sauber's agent has revealed the situation.
A matter that could have been handled well suddenly became a lot more external pressure.
"Breaking injury became the last straw for Newcastle! 》
"Lu Yang, who is trapped in a defensive fog, needs a top attacker to step up! But Sauber should undergo surgery immediately! 》
"Newcastle or England!" The league or the European Cup! China Tang needs to make careful decisions! 》
"The England national team coach called on Sauber to have surgery as soon as possible: Sauber will of course be in my plan. He is a key part of our game. We now need this kind of striker with the final finishing ability!" 》
"Tottenham boss: Playing for the national team is something that no English player will refuse, but I'm worried that Lu will stop this!" He doesn't have the England national team in his sights! Maybe, he is hoping to weaken the strong enemy of the national team through such means! 》
The end of the season is approaching and the European Cup is just around the corner.
Many people are concerned about this matter.
The England national team is full of superstars.
But as the coach said, they lack nothing but a guy who can score goals.
Michael Sauber is the perfect candidate.
Of course, the Tottenham boss said this because Tottenham will play Newcastle in the next round of the Premier League.
Tottenham are now in the top four of the Premier League. Defeating Newcastle will not only solve a competitor, but it may also allow them to go one step further.
At this time, it would be best not to have Sauber.
Many Premier League fans have heated discussions about this.
"What are Newcastle still hesitating about? Why not let Sauber have surgery?"
"How are you talking? Did Newcastle not allow Sauber to have surgery? Hasn't the decision not been made yet?"
"Haha! The decision has been made a long time ago. Isn't it just to let Sauber miss the best period for surgery?"
"Exactly! Otherwise, why would Sauber's agent reveal this news? Sauber needs the support of our people in England. He is being persecuted by the Orientals who control Newcastle!"
"Lu is too domineering! Weakening the England team through such defense will make them unable to win!"
"Bah! This is what China needs to do to defeat the England team? It doesn't matter what level you are! How dare a third-rate European to compete with the newly crowned World Cup champion and defending European Cup champion? Believe it or not, you can't even win against Molich!"
Moic? ? ?
"Newcastle must let Sauber have surgery or I will never support Newcastle again!"
"This is a matter for the whole of England, not for one Newcastle club! Surgery, surgery!"
Premier League fans are unified as never before.
Someone even organized a group of extreme fans to send crazy greetings on Newcastle's website and Lu Yang's social account.
The entire Newcastle management, head coach, and Lu Yang had an explosive mentality.
Come to the coffee shop.
Sauber immediately expressed his thoughts to Lu Yang: "Lu, otherwise... I'll give him conservative treatment."
Sauber struggled, but he finally said this.
In an instant, both Lu Yang and Newcastle United chairman Tang Yuqin, who was next to Lu Yang, felt warm in their hearts.
All the unhappiness caused by netizens has disappeared.
You guys are making a fuss about Jaguar!
Is your rightful owner now actively requesting conservative treatment?
However, Chinese people pay attention to reciprocity.
You are good to me.
I treat you better.
You take care of me for a while.
I will support you forever!
So Lu Yang said: "Sauber, this matter is not up to you. I have told Yuqin a long time ago that you must undergo surgery to ensure that you can participate in the European Cup."
"To this end, we have specially invited a famous doctor of sports science in the United States... to operate on you. He should be arriving in London soon. Believe me, he is the top three doctor in knee surgery in the world. This will definitely help. You appeared in the national team earlier."
Sauber's eyes were so moved that his eyes turned red.
Although he is willing to sacrifice for the club.
But I didn't expect that the club was willing to sacrifice for him.
"I have fired my agent. He announced my condition just to put pressure on the club to allow me to undergo surgery and join the national team." Sauber told more insider information, "This way he will find someone for me in the summer. A few very well-priced endorsements, and he was able to take a very large cut from them.”
At the end of the day, Sauber was also the one who got stabbed in the back.
He never meant it.
Lu Yang didn't believe what most people said.
But Sauber said, Lu Yangxin.
Because this is a player who is 100% loyal to the club.
As long as the club doesn't ask, he will never ask for a transfer.
Soon, relevant news spread.
"The Sun": "This year's most expensive flying knife! Newcastle spends a lot of money to invite top doctors to fly to London to perform surgery on Sauber!"
"Newcastle Evening News": "The operation was very successful! After Sauber recovers, he may even perform better than before, because the operation also cleared up his old knee disease!"
"Sky Sports": "England is aiming for the European Cup, and its record may have a huge breakthrough! Just because it has found the strongest striker in the Premier League in recent times!"
"The Times": "Mr. Ballon d'Or is back! The England national team coach announced in advance that Sauber has locked up a spot in the European Cup!"
But soon, the agent who was fired by Sauber broke some news: "Sauber does not love England at all. He plans to receive conservative treatment and continue to play for Newcastle. In order to stop his stupid ideas and for the interests of English football, I I told the media that Newcastle wanted him to undergo conservative treatment."
"He is just a rubbish player. He made a few achievements and then kicked me away, who helped him recover. He and Newcastle are the same as each other, and he does not deserve to be in the national team!"
If you don’t tell me, you don’t know. If you tell me, you will be shocked.
This agent thought he had ruined Sauber.
Because Sauber doesn't like pot.
Anywhere, not loving pot is definitely a huge stain.
What's more, many English people have now described Sauber as a national hero and believe that he will overcome all obstacles for England in the European Cup.
This news is not easy for fans to digest.
Some people were indeed stunned by this.
If there is a problem with Sauber's position, then how can everyone still praise him as a national hero.
But soon, Lu Yang personally came forward to "refute the rumors": "I have never seen a special player like Sauber in the Premier League before. He is someone who is willing to give his best for every game."
"Whether it's the Premier League, FA Cup, UEFA Cup, Champions League, European Cup, or World Cup."
"He does want conservative treatment, but not because he doesn't value the opportunity to play for England."
"It's just the opposite. He told me that he must play for the national team, and he must use better performance and better data to impress fans all over England and the national team coaching staff."
"He was afraid that he would not receive the call from the national team office. He was afraid that when he watched the national team head coach reading the list live on the news, he would not hear his name."
Soon, Sauber was interviewed by the BBC while lying on the hospital bed, which was in contrast to this: "Of course I hope for conservative treatment. I think I can still compete. This is not a serious injury."
"I would not hesitate at all when I was injured to this extent at Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United. I am not saying that these three clubs are not good to the players, they are great, but what I want to say is, Newcastle or Luhe The other clubs are really different."
"People will worry that I'm getting paid but not playing for the club."
"But Lu told me that he would do everything possible to let the national team see my excellence and recruit me. But the premise is that I must be healthy at that time."
"He told me to undergo surgery and hired the best doctor without telling Miss Tang and I. I don't know what to say. I only know that Newcastle United has become my second home."
"I'm happy here and I'll stay here forever and never leave."
These two interviews instantly detonated the whole of England.
Red Clapp: "I feel like we are like clowns! We, all England fans, our ideas make people feel ugly. Our doubts about Newcastle and Lu Yang are selfish and ridiculous in the face of his actions and ideas!" "
Gerondo: "We are rivals with Newcastle in the league, but I have to say that Newcastle's decision shocked me. I have always respected Lu, because he is the spiritual leader of Liverpool, but until now I Only then did I realize that my respect for him was still too superficial!”
"He is a true football saint!"
McLoughlin: "The whole of England owes Lu Yang an apology. Newcastle is a great club. Chinese football and Italian football will always be friends of English football!"
Mancini: "I have never worried about Sauber not receiving treatment because I have been teammates with Lu Yang and I know that he values the health and career of his teammates above all else."
Thorkan White: "Because of the Newcastle incident, several players in our Arsenal team had some disputes with Moric. We were scolding Lu, and Moric stood up and accused us."
"That was the biggest argument we've had in the locker room in years. Mr. Winter couldn't control the situation."
"But now, on behalf of myself, and also on behalf of Gordon, Madduk, Walter and other English players, I want to say sorry to Moric. We misunderstood Lu, and we also misunderstood you."
"You're right. Lu doesn't need to go through anyone to pursue victory. He always works hard and his victory comes from himself, not others."
"From now on, we will listen to Moric in everything, and fans all over the world bear witness for us!"
England is full of triumphant songs for Newcastle and Lu Yang.
Moric even became the second captain of Arsenal because of this.
This is also the first time that Arsenal has such a young player enter the captaincy after they mistakenly handed the captain's armband to an immature young man last time.
However, after the triumph, there was an anxious mood inside Newcastle.
No matter how exaggerated the verbal praise is, it is useless.
Newcastle are really missing a striker.
Chiesa, Bridge, Beckenham, Lucatu, Boyle, Reese, Fenio and others practiced desperately until they were dispersed by Flick and Lu Yang.
They both knew someone needed to step up and fill Sauber's shoes.
If no one can do it, then they can do it together, right?
The team understands the good intentions of these players, but in order to prevent them from over-training, which may lead to physical disorders and vulnerability to injury, the management has even arranged for staff to supervise their daily lives.
The next day, when everyone was still restless.
Flick arranged the training.
Lu Yang's stance puzzled many people.
He didn't stand in the midfield.
Instead, he stood... in the midfield position.
Flick said to Manchester United star Best, who came to visit Beckenham: "Some time ago, there was a lively discussion in the Premier League about the three major gods."
"God's No. 10, God's No. 9, God's No. 7... It seems that the discussion has reached a conclusion."
"But in my opinion, such a discussion is meaningless."
"In other words, this kind of discussion was meaningful before players like Lu Yang appeared. But after Lu Yang appeared, everything became meaningless."
"Because he used his actions to break the common sense of football and told people that there are players who can play the roles of God 10, God 9, and God 7 at the same time in one game!"
"The Holy Trinity, the true god of football, comes to life on the page."
"These Premier League teams conspired together to force Newcastle to give up Sauber, forcing Newcastle to break their teeth and swallow it."
"But it also opened the seal of Lu Yang's position and forced out Lu Yang, who only made a surprise appearance last season... Phnom Penh's full strength Lu!"
"They'll regret it!"
"You will definitely regret it!"
