The four finals of the 2006-2007 English League Cup are all over.
Except for Blackburn's 2:2 draw with Arsenal at home, which needs to be replayed on another day, the other three games all have winners and losers.
Chelsea 2:0 Liverpool at home, Heat The Assassins defeated Manchester City 2:0, and West Ham United lost 1:2 at home to Everton.
Since Arsenal drew with Blackburn away from home, the draw for the two semi-finals will not begin until Arsenal returns home to decide the winner with Blackburn.
Therefore, the other three teams that advanced to the semi-finals can only wait for the rematch. result.
The next day, in addition to continuing to report on Chelsea's player Aiello winning the European Ballon d'Or, the English media also reported on the four finals of the English League Cup.
The most eye-catching game was Chelsea's 2-0 victory over Liverpool at home.
However, the most fascinating news report was not the League Cup final 14 itself, but the news that the Daily Mail broke the next day: Benitez fired his assistant coach who had worked with him for 11 years.
Ayerström.
"Yesterday afternoon, the last 14-finals of the English League Cup of the 2007-2008 season ended.
Chelsea, who played at home in the end, relied on Ai's two goals as a substitute in the second half to help the team eliminate the Red Army Liverpool 2:0.
It is worth mentioning that in The Liverpool coach refused to shake Mourinho's hand after the game, while Rafael Benitez's assistant Yestron completed this etiquette on his behalf, but this scene was learned by Benitez after the game.
According to reliable information, the two had a fierce dispute last night, and Benitez finally fired ten Ajström, his assistant for one year, was fired because he found that his assistant and Mourinho had become good friends."
When the news was broken by the Daily Mail, the entire English media was amazed.
The reason was too weird.
It can be said that Benitez was too unkind to fire his assistant who had served him for 11 years just because he discovered that he had a personal relationship with Mourinho.
In other words, he is a bit of a coward.
After all, everyone has the right to make friends.
Soon Benitez’s behavior rose to the level of infringing on the human rights of others.
It must be said that the reporter’s thinking logic is still very advanced.
The disagreement between Benitez and Mourinho is no longer a matter of a day or two, but it is indeed a bit far-fetched to escalate it to the point where Ajestron was fired because of his good relationship with Mourinho.
It is even said that It's a bit rigid.
But this news came and went quickly, because that night there was also the draw ceremony for the 2007-2008 UEFA Champions League 18th finals waiting for the attention of major European media.
The English team occupies four seats in the top 16 of the Champions League, so they are also one of the main media paying attention to the draw.
Although the England national team is not the world's top, the media reporting on football is the world's top.
In addition, the Premier League is this The most lucrative league in the world also makes them a little arrogant.
Premier League teams occupy four of the seats that advance to the final sixteen, which is a large percentage.
If the luck of the draw is slightly better, then it is not impossible for all four Premier League teams to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, because in the group stage, except for Liverpool's abnormal performance and becoming the second qualifying team in the group, The other three teams advanced to the top 16 as the first in the group.
According to the lottery rules of the 18th finals, teams from the same Football Association will not play against each other in the 18th finals, so the above possibility is entirely possible.
As a result, apart from Chelsea's good opponents, the other three teams all encountered very strong opponents.
It can be said that the giants fought hard.
Arsenal was drawn by Sevilla, Manchester United was drawn by Lyon, and Liverpool was drawn by Inter Milan.
When the results of the draw came out, some were really happy and some were sad.
The one with the best draw is Chelsea.
Their opponent is Olympiacos, followed by Barcelona.
Their opponent is the Scottish Premier League team Celtic.
The other three opponents in the 18th final are: AC Milan vs.
Barron.
West Asia, Real Madrid vs Roma, Schalke 04 vs Porto.
Of course, the most eye-catching draw for the eight finals of 18 is that UEFA has drawn together the champions and runners-up of last season's UEFA Champions League.
This contest has high expectations.
Kaka's form has declined this season, and Valencia also lost its star star Aiello in the summer, and its strength has dropped significantly.
Therefore, on balance, the two teams are evenly matched, but the grievances between the two teams It is still worthy of extensive coverage by the media and mass media on both sides.
But because the first leg of the Champions League 18 finals will have to wait until February 21st and 22nd, it has little to do with the current English team.
Moreover, they have to rush forward during the Christmas period, which means that the devil's schedule is coming.

In just nine days, every Premier League team has to play four league games.
This is a big test for every team.
The frequency of games and the high level of confrontation in the game are a big challenge for every team.
It is a big test for every player.
Because physical fitness is a gap that is difficult for every player to overcome, and it is inevitable that the injury rate of players in each team will rise rapidly.
The devilish schedule during this period is not only a challenge to the four giants in the Premier League, but also a challenge to the other 16 teams.
Whether we can win the European competition this season or successfully avoid relegation depends on the specific performance of these four games.
Except for a key report and analysis on the day after the UEFA Champions League 18-final draw, the English media did not report much at other times.
After all, the first leg of the UEFA Champions League 18-final will have to wait until late February next year. , which is also two months away from now.
For the entire British media, the most concerning thing is undoubtedly the upcoming Christmas Devils schedule.
The first two league matches are the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, and the simultaneous league match between Liverpool and Portsmouth.
Of course, the most eye-catching one is the North London Derby.
Arsenal lost to Chelsea in the last round of London derby, so this North London derby is definitely not something they can afford to miss.
The kick-off time of both games is at 4:30 pm on the 22nd.
This much-watched North London derby was more intense than the media imagined.
The referee showed 2 reds and 13 yellows throughout the game, of which 1 red and 5 yellows went to the home team Arsenal, and the other 1 red and 7 yellows went to the visiting team Tottenham.
The final result was 2:1, and the home team narrowly won.
Another focus battle was held at Anfield Stadium.
Relying on Torres's brace, the opponent's own goal and Babel's icing on the cake, Liverpool beat Portsmouth 4:1.
Chelsea's opponent in this round will have to wait until Christmas Eve on the 24th, and their opponent is Blackburn.
But the day before this focus battle, Ai Luo still had something very important to do.
That was heading to London Heathrow International Airport to pick up his girlfriend Taylor Swift.
In order to avoid the paparazzi who had been squatting near his villa for a long time, Aiello specially dressed up before heading to London Heathrow International Airport.
He even borrowed an Audi R8 from his neighbor to hide his identity.
However, he I also paid for my smile and signature to get the right to use the neighbor's car.
Although Ai Luo was very careful and even disguised himself, he was still discovered by the dazzling paparazzi.
Therefore, the next day, he appeared on the Sun's headline again for the first time in a month.
The headline was also surrounded by real and reliable photos, including two close-up shots.
As long as fans are slightly familiar with Aiello, , you can see everything at a glance, this is Ai Luo.
"Last night at about 7 o'clock, our reporter saw a young man suspected of being Chelsea star Ai at the exit of London Heathrow International Airport.
He was greeted at the airport by a tall blonde girl wearing sunglasses.
According to our side The reporter followed up without any trouble and finally confirmed that this person was indeed the Chelsea star, because the place he returned to was the rich villa area in London where Ai lived."
"So we are absolutely certain that this person is the Chelsea star, and it is worth mentioning that there will be a highlight game of the Premier League at Ewood Park at seven o'clock tonight, which is really true for a professional player.
Is it appropriate?
Is it a little inappropriate the night before the game?
In addition, the identity of this blonde girl wearing sunglasses is worthy of our suspicion.
In other words, does he still have the energy to play a fierce Premier League game?"
Although the Sun is a very small newspaper in the UK, and often uses page three girls as the cover of the newspaper, and many of its contents are even taken out of context to sensationalize, the sales of the newspaper are very good, and even at its peak sales there were no It is inferior to The Times, the UK's best-selling newspaper.
It can be seen that the sales of The Sun are guaranteed.
From another perspective, it covers a wide area and has a large number of readers.
Therefore, before the away challenge to Blackburn, Aiello was criticized by most of the media, and also attracted the attention of the team's head coach Mourinho.
You must know that Aiello is related to Ashley Cole and Terry.
Have a criminal record.
However, Aiello responded quickly.
After discovering the news reported by The Sun, he took the initiative to find Mourinho.

Mourinho could only be dubious about Aiello's statement.
His girlfriend was not a young American country singer.
But then again, at least it was not as negative as the previous nightclub.
Maybe Aiello was not lying.
Picking up a suspicious woman at the airport and telling lies is too advanced.
Besides, as a head coach, don’t you have too much to worry about?
At least there is nothing wrong with Aiello’s competitive form today, and there is no overindulgence as mentioned in The Sun.
Since there is no problem in this regard, there is no problem at all in putting Aiello into the starting lineup.
As for whether the regular press conference before the game may be suspected, that is not something that he should consider. , after all, football matches depend on the results. s: Thanks to Panda Superman for your monthly ticket:
