2015-2016赛季英联杯1/4决赛在周三晚上8点45分先进行三场。

Middlesbrough VS Everton, Stoke City VS Arsenal, Manchester City VS Hull City.

On Thursday night, the last quarter-final match Southampton VS Liverpool.

Stoke-on-Trent is only 257 kilometers away from London. The Arsenal team departed from London on the team bus in the morning of the same day.

The game kicked off on time at 8:45 that night, and the Britannia Stadium, which could accommodate 27902 fans, was packed.

Although the fanatical atmosphere of the small stadium does not have the overwhelming sense of sight of the big stadium, the home players can make full use of the advantage of the small stadium and tighten the fence for defense.

Amidst the chants of the home fans, stay focused and make sure the defense doesn't err in the run of league leaders Arsenal.

The style in charge of Mark Hughes tends to be conservative and focuses on defense.

After 14 rounds of the league this season, Stoke City ranks 12th in the league, but its defense is one of the best teams in the Premier League. It has conceded more goals than Arsenal, Tottenham and Manchester United.

Ranked 12th in the league, it has a lot to do with their offense.

It has only scored 14 goals in 11 league games. It is the team with the fewest goals in the Premier League so far, one goal less than deputy captain Aston Villa.

Therefore, Stoke City has every reason to use its strengths and avoid its weaknesses at home, to see if it can first keep the goal in a relentless defense, and then seek opportunities to score a counterattack goal.

It is undeniable that Mark Hughes's tactics were very successful, at least in the first 45 minutes and did not give Arsenal, led by Martin, any chance.

The two sides entered the locker room with a score of 0:0.

In the second half, they changed sides and fought again. The home fans hoped that the team they supported would upset Arsenal and advance to the semi-finals of the English League Cup this season.

Unexpectedly, only 2 minutes into the second half, Arsenal's frontcourt attack was coordinated by Martin with exquisite coordination. Martin, who penetrated forward and participated in the direct attack to the right rib, sent a very stealthy through ball.

Charlie Adam stretched his legs a little too late, and Shawcross, the famous villain in the Premier League, was knocked to the ground by Sanchez who caught the ball.

Goalkeeper Butland was affected by the blockage of sight caused by Walscheid's supplementary defense, and his reaction was obviously slow. It was too late for him to fall to the ground to save when he saw the football...

With the score behind at home, Stoke City had no choice but to strengthen their offense.

However, their offensive cooperation cannot be played out in Arsenal's solid defensive system. The offensive system composed of former Barcelona geniuses Bojan, Arnautovic and Shaqiri can easily fall into the situation of individual combat in the offense.

Big thunder and little rain is the epitome of Stoke City's offense.

In the 59th minute of the game, Martin sent a precise cross from the right. Giroud jumped high and beat Shawcross and Walscheid to complete a high-quality header.

Butland reacted this time, but faced with the extremely tricky football placement, he was still... powerless.

0:2
Arsenal are leading by two goals as a guest. Considering that they will face the challenge of Sunderland at home on the weekend, they consciously play back and play, mainly to reduce physical energy consumption and consume game time reasonably.

After 10 and 2 minutes, Arsenal defeated the home team Stoke City 0-[-] at the Britannia Stadium with two assists from Martin, taking the lead in advancing to the semi-finals of this season's EFL Cup.

同时进行的另外两场英联杯1/4决赛的结果是米德尔斯堡0：2埃弗顿、曼城4：1赫尔城。

The next night, the final EFL Cup quarter-finals came to an end at St. Mary's Stadium on the south coast.

The home team was slaughtered by Liverpool 1:6.

The draw for the 2015-2016 Carabao Cup semi-finals took place on Friday night.

Liverpool and Arsenal are drawn together, while Manchester City and Everton are automatically paired.

Compared with the quarter-finals and previous games that determined the outcome, the EFL Cup semi-finals are a two-leg elimination system at home and away.

The two winners will decide the final champion at the new Wembley Stadium at the end of February.

At the end of the EFL Cup semi-final draw ceremony, the specific game times for a total of four semi-finals were announced.

明年的1月5/6日晚上8点和1月26/27日晚上八点。

At the end of the draw ceremony, Arsenal coach Arsene Wenger couldn't help but sigh.

Since Klopp took charge of Liverpool, it can be regarded as getting rid of the downturn at the beginning of the season. After six rounds of coaching, Liverpool has achieved 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss.

The top six level matches drew with Tottenham as a guest, and defeated Chelsea and Manchester City as a guest.

Obviously, Liverpool under Klopp is getting better.

Of course, Wenger is not worried, but... he has to spend more time dealing with Liverpool, which is getting better and better.

The focus of the Arsenal team shifted to the league again, and they played at home against the 'Black Cat' Sunderland, which is ranked 17th in the league.

When the time came to December, the weather in England was getting colder and colder, but no one thought that the first game of the 12th round of the Premier League in the 2015-2016 season would be a huge upset.

Stoke City, who had just been eliminated by Arsenal in the EFL Cup quarter-finals, defeated Manchester City 1-4 at home.

The following West Bromwich Albion also drew with Tottenham 1:1 at home.

Chelsea lost to Bournemouth 0:1.

Three upsets in the league made Arsenal players feel nervous as they prepared to face Sunderland at home.

Martin encouraged his teammates in the locker room. He said loudly: "With our 100% concentration and state, we are invincible at the Emirates Stadium! It's just a 'black cat' who is about to be relegated. It's no big deal, Manchester City , Tottenham have lost points, this is an excellent opportunity for us to widen the gap!"

"Yes, this is our chance!"

Sanchez, the leader of the atmosphere team in the team, shouted in cooperation with Martin.

Arsenal's overall strength itself crushes Sunderland, and it also has the advantage of the home court. The players have extra trust in Martin, so they are full of confidence in winning their opponents at home.

as predicted!

Through the efforts of the whole team, they finally defeated visiting Sunderland 3:1 at home with goals from Sanchez, Mertesacker and Cazorla.

Leicester City beat Swansea City 3-0 away in the same game, and they still maintain the point pressure on Arsenal.

The next day, Liverpool, who were a guest at St. James' Park, also had a big upset. They lost 0:2 to Newcastle, who ranked 19th.

Manchester United unfortunately encountered West Ham United, which has robbed the rich and given to the poor this season. The two sides fought hard for 10 and [-] minutes and ended in a goalless draw.

At the end of the 10th round of the league after all 15 games, Arsenal topped the list with 38 points, followed by Leicester City, who had a thrilling relegation last season, with 6 points behind. Manchester City ranked third and fourth with 29 points. , Tottenham ranked 26th with 5 points.

Liverpool, which lost this round, has 23 points with Crystal Palace and West Ham United, ranking 6th to 8th respectively.

There are still four rounds left before the end of the half-time period, which also means that Arsenal, with a goal difference of 29, can win the half-time league championship two rounds in advance as long as they win the next two league rounds.

Of course, this half-time championship does not have any real rewards, it can only bring the confidence of the Arsenal team to finally win the league championship.

After playing the league, it will be the European match day in the middle of next week.

European local time Tuesday and Wednesday at 45:45pm is the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, and Thursday evening at [-]:[-]pm is the final round of the Europa League group stage.

Arsenal has locked in the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule, and it seems unnecessary to challenge Olympiacos in the last round of the group stage.

After the regular press conference after the home game against Sunderland, Wenger, who was interviewed by the media, talked about the midweek Champions League group match against Olympiacos.

He has made it clear that he will hide some of his main players in the final round.

The reason is simple. Arsenal's bench depth is relatively weak. Several main players were injured at the end of last month's international match, which cast a shadow on him. Therefore, in insignificant games, they still send out non-main players as much as possible.

Martin, Sanchez, Koscielny and other players who played all the games did not go to Greece at all, but stayed in London for a rest.

After 10 and 0 minutes of fierce fighting in the last round of Group F at the Kareskaski Stadium in the middle of the week, Arsenal, who had obvious reservations, lost 1:[-] to Olympiacos.

Another group match played at the same time was Wolfsburg's 2-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb as a guest.

于是，F组的排名是这样的，阿森纳4胜1平1负积13分排名第1，沃尔夫斯堡4胜2负积12分排名第三，奥林匹亚科斯3胜3负积9分排名第3，萨格勒布迪纳摩1平5负积1分垫底。

The final round of the group stage of the 2015-2016 UEFA Champions League has come to an end, and all 16 teams that have advanced have also been settled.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern, Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Manchester City, Juventus, Barcelona, ​​Roma, Arsenal, Wolfsburg, Chelsea, Dynamo Kiev, Zenit St Petersburg and Roots special.

The draw for the 1/8 finals will be held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon at noon the day after the Europa League group stage ends.

周五中午12点，2015-2016赛季欧冠1/8决赛和欧联杯1/16决赛抽签仪式准时开始。

The Arsenal team watched the live broadcast from the player cafeteria at the Kearney training base.

Compared to previous seasons, Arsenal had really good luck in the draw for the Champions League 1/8 finals this season.

With strong opponents Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Roma, we drew Gent, which is almost the weakest in the top [-]!

"Ness!"

Captain Arteta, who was doing individual recovery training at the training base, raised his arms and shouted excitedly.

Since joining Arsenal in the summer of 2011, he has not advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals with the team.

Because every time the UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals either draw Barcelona, ​​or encounter the Bundesliga giant Bayern.

It is simply killing people.

Last year, I thought that drawing Monaco was the top draw, but I lost 1:3 at home.

Although they won two goals in the second round and equalized the total score, they were eventually eliminated due to a small number of away goals.

Head coach Wenger saw that the opponent in the draw was Ghent from Belgium, and his emotions were also high.

The last time he was promoted to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it dates back to the 2009-2010 season, when he defeated Martin's youth club Porto 6:2 in two rounds.

There are avoidance rules in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, there are upper and higher draws, and naturally there are also lower and lower draws and encounters.

Paris Saint-Germain VS Chelsea, Wolfsburg VS Barcelona.

Manchester City also drew the upper lottery, and their opponent in the 1/8 finals is Dynamo Kiev.

The battle of strong dialogue is Bayern VS Juventus!

The remaining three 1/8 final matches are Eindhoven VS Atletico Madrid, Benfica VS Zenit St. Petersburg, Rome VS Real Madrid.

Mainstream European media conducted various analyzes on the draw for the 1/8 finals of this season's Champions League. Arsenal were secretly happy that they were chosen and did not participate in the discussions at all. They focused on visiting the league to challenge deputy captain Aston. Villa's league.

Perhaps it was a good mood that brought great changes to the team. Arsenal beat Aston Villa 3-0 as a guest, and Martin made a contribution with a pass.

The day after the league ended, Martin got a special call.

The other party claimed to be the editor-in-chief of Turin Sports News, De Paola.

Hearing this, Martin was refreshed and immediately realized something.

He responded very quickly. He only paused for a few tenths of a second before speaking naturally to the phone: "Hello, Mr. Paula, I have long admired you."

"Martin, congratulations, winner of the 2015 European Golden Boy Award."

The other party's high-pitched voice came from the speaker.
