In the 18-19 season, the Manchester City dynasty officially kicked off.

Since Guardiola took over Manchester City last season, not to mention how he performed in the European arena, the league has been very stable.

Last season broke many historical records in the Premier League such as points, goals, and wins, and is regarded as one of the strongest Premier League champions in history.

This summer, he has the confidence to only introduce Mahrez, a heavyweight new aid. In addition, Mendy's comeback is like a new aid, and the young player Foden will also be promoted.Although De Bruyne was injured for three months at the beginning of the season, Manchester City is still widely expected to become the first Premier League team to successfully defend the title since 3.

Judging from the progress of the league, Manchester City has not been misunderstood.

The stability is astonishing. Although the UEFA Champions League once again fell into the sand, the league and the cup are originally two latitudes, which are not the same.

Although some veterans' physical functions have degraded, the economic status has had a little impact. For example, Fernandinho's status has declined rapidly.

However, Guardiola has too many soldiers available, and he can even arrange different lineups to deal with them in the League Cup and the league.

In this Carabao Cup semi-final, even though Millwall has won four consecutive league victories and even defeated strong teams like Liverpool and Chelsea, Guardiola still ranked the "semi-main players" commonly used in the Carabao Cup. "line-up.

On the goal line, Bravo replaced Ederson in goal for Manchester City.

On the back line, Walker, Danilo, Laporte, Adarabioyu lined up.

Stones and Mendy got a rest.

The midfielders are Fernandinho, B Silva and Zinchenko.

Mahrez and De Bruyne sat on the bench, ready to turn the situation around in times of crisis.

On the front line, Prince Foden, Jesus, and Sterling formed the attack line.

Legendary striker Aguero and Sane, who has become so popular this season, need to watch the brothers charge first from the bench.

Take a look at this luxurious bench. Manchester City's wealth is fully reflected on the bench.

...

Compared with Manchester City, if Millwall wants to win, it has to die as the main force.

Fortunately, the current four-game winning streak in the league allows Ranieri to relax a bit in the league and play the main force in the League Cup.

"The Carabao Cup semi-final!"

"Man City vs Millwall!"

"Who can win this game? The key depends on each other's determination..."

Gary Neville, as usual, started the analysis before the game.

Having said that, commenting games also requires a certain amount of talent.

For the same game, whether the commentary is good or not, the audience's senses are completely different.

For example, in this meeting, Neville's perspective on this game is very unique.

But I heard him say slowly: "Currently in the last few rounds of the league, Manchester City is competing with Liverpool for the championship. Cup squad."

Due to Carabao's sponsorship, the name of the League Cup has been changed to the Carabao Cup in all official channels.

As a commentator, Neville is still professional in this regard.

Martin Taylor on the side said: "Yes, Klopp's Liverpool bite very tightly. Although the gap with the top of the list after losing to Millwall has come to three points, it is only a gap of one goal."

"For Guardiola, winning the league championship is obviously much more important than the Carabao Cup."

"Having said that, even Pep Guardiola's cup squad is already very good."

"It's just that in comparison, Ranieri seems to pay more attention to the Carabao Cup."

"No rotations have been made and there doesn't seem to be any concern about the impact on the league."

"This side is the cup lineup, and the other side is the full main lineup. It's hard to say who will win this game."

Martin Taylor, true to form, has something special he loves about Millwall.

...

With the end of the opening remarks, the Carabao Cup of the 18-19 season, which is the semi-finals of the League Cup, officially kicked off.

According to the result of the draw, Millwall played against Manchester City at home, which can be regarded as a little advantage...

For the home game, this night is definitely a sleepless night for everyone in Neal Field.

CCTV, with Zhang Bo in such a prosperous situation, finally applied for the broadcasting rights of the League Cup as a special case.

But there is only the League Cup, and the Premier League is absolutely impossible.

As I said before, the Premier League broadcasting rights are a business worth hundreds of millions of euros, and there are no exceptions if you rely on a CCTV brand.

...

But for Hong Gang, the commentator who came to Neal Stadium, this has been a very wonderful experience.

This CCTV gold medal commentator has also come to the scene of the World Cup and the European Cup to comment, but everything before and today's coming to the Neal Stadium are completely different feelings.

This well-tested commentator, the moment he stepped into the Neil Stadium, he knew that today's feeling is very special, so special that people... can easily get excited!

The Neil Stadium, which can accommodate more than 2 people, can no longer find an empty seat at this moment. Countless astigmatism lights illuminate the stadium like daytime. The silhouettes of light intersect on the green turf. Lights, banners, waves of people , wave after wave of cheers, all of these give people the feeling of soul shock.

"From the commentary stand where I am, it is overwhelming white, which is the main color of Millwall!"

"The game is about to start, and everyone is ready to cheer and applaud their heroes as they enter the field."

At this time, Hong Gang saw a touch of red in his eyes, such a familiar red.In the corner of the stand where the die-hard fans of Millwall sat, several huge five-star red flags fluttered in the night wind of the Neil Stadium.

So chic and handsome, so heart-warming and making people's blood boil.

...

"What we saw, in the stands where the Millwall fans were, there were a large number of Chinese fans, they were there, yes, my eyes can't be wrong, the five-star red flag is there.

"Where did they come from? Manchester? London? Or Birmingham? These are not important. The important thing is that they came. They came for Zhang Bo and cheered for Zhang Bo."

Hong Gang's style is generally more serious and restrained, but at this moment, his magnetic and passionate commentary voice has been transmitted to thousands of households in front of the TV through electromagnetic waves, and many people have already begun to be emotional.The skill of CCTV's gold medal commentator is undoubtedly revealed at this moment.

Regardless of whether it is London, the UK, or China, with Neville and Hong Gang's very different opening styles, the game is finally about to start!
