No one was surprised by Arsenal's result of eliminating Schalke 04. It can be said that as early as the first round of the game, everyone no longer paid attention to the second encounter between the two sides. This is the case. With the crazy performance of the substitutes, Arsenal once again easily defeated his opponent.

Schalke 04's players embarked on a journey home with grief. This season they once had a passion for proving their strength in the Champions League, but now Arsenal has allowed them to fully understand what it means to have someone outside of others.

"Sometimes we have to admit that although the Champions League has brought together very good teams in major leagues, there is still a clear gap between these teams. For example, the two-round match between Arsenal and Schalke 04 is even easier than their league matches."

After the game, countless journalists and media began to feel heartbroken. Their remarks and reports made Schalke 04 fans extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Arsenal fans obviously no longer focus on their opponents who have been eliminated. They have already looked at their team's opponent Sunderland in the second leg of the League Cup.

In the first round of the match, the Black Cat, who was at home, scored a goal at home with his unyielding momentum to retain the suspense of the game. Now it is their turn to go to Arsenal's home Emirates Stadium to challenge. Everyone is looking forward to whether they can stage a reversal in the League Cup.

After all, it is foreseeable that Arsenal in Wednesday's matches will not always face the first team lineup. They will inevitably put most of the main strength in the league against Manchester United in the third game, which is undoubtedly good news for Sunderland.

In this case, the Sunderland players and the coach dared not say anything harsh when they interviewed reporters before the game, for fear of irritating the professor to directly send a full lineup to play at home, so that the possibility of the team's turnaround will be greatly reduced.

"Arsenal is an excellent team. Our main purpose is to learn. Of course, if we can successfully reach the final, it will naturally be a very beautiful result and we will work hard for it."

Such a kind speech will naturally not be hostile to Arsenal. The professor and Liu Feng were also very gentlemanly when interviewing with fans.

"We welcome Sunderland to visit Emirates Stadium, and we will give us respect with our performance on the court."

In this way, the interview before the game between the two sides ended in an ordinary way, and soon the day of the game came.

"Our starting lineup today is as follows."

In the conference room of the Gunners Training Base, the professor quickly announced the starting lineup of this game. With a 433 outing, it is really true that they offer the greatest respect to their opponents at home.

Bordoski serves as the starting center, left winger Neymar, right winger William, and Liu Feng still do not appear in the starting lineup in this game.

This is naturally not a problem with Liu Feng's condition, but the professor is determined to let him rest until he starts directly to Manchester United's game.

Faced with the professor's arrangement, Liu Feng naturally had no objection. Anyway, he could still find opportunities when he came on as a substitute. And as long as the team can win, it is really no problem whether he plays or not. After all, this is just a cup game.

In the arrangement of the three midfielders, Wilshire, Ganso and Granero started, and all the midfield starters on the table were rested.

In terms of four defenders, Alba, Mertesak, Koscheerny and Kavajal formed a half-main and half-substitute back line, while the goalkeeper was still the team's two-pointer Fabianski.

Such a starting lineup is naturally the result of rotation, but the team's main players have appeared in it.

Although the professor believes that Sunderland is a respectable opponent, he still deals with them at home, and he does not think that the team needs to use all their strength.

"There is only one purpose for today's game, that is, to win the game as quickly as possible. I think you want to have a good rest and play on the weekend, right?"

"Of course the coach!"

"Okay, then let's take a rest now."

Time flies, and since it was the starting lineup announced in the morning, the afternoon game was about to begin, so the players did not go home, but instead had lunch at the training base and had a simple rest.

In the afternoon, amid the cheers of countless gun fans in the streets near the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's bus drove into its home stadium first.

Not long after, Sunderland's bus also arrived at the Emirates Stadium, and they naturally faced the grand booing of opponents' fans.

...

"Okay, CCTV, CCTV, audiences, welcome to watch the second leg of the 2013-2014 English League Cup semi-finals Arsenal team against Sunderland at home. I am commentator Liu Jianhong."

"Hello everyone, I am the commentator Zhan Jun."

When the voices of the two commentators rang out, the two teams on the stadium had finished their warm-up and returned to the locker room and returned to the stage.

The captains of the two teams quickly performed captains' rock-scissors, and Arsenal chose to kick off at home, which was very beneficial for them to have an advantage.

"Shh!!!"

"The game has officially begun. Bordosky took the ball. Neymar received the ball and passed it back to Ganso. Arsenal's lineup in this game is a semi-main lineup, but they are all the main players of the team in the core position."

"Yes, I quickly started to control the ball. Gansu showed great offensive desire at the beginning and cooperated with two midfield teammates to continue to penetrate forward."

As soon as the game started, Arsenal's offensive excited the fans. Singing sounded over the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal's first wave of offense officially started.

"Faced with the Gunners' offense, Sunderland responded very quickly. Their recovery was completely unavailable for the opponent at the beginning of the game. After Granero received the ball, he passed it to Bordosky. He was cut off before he had time to pass the ball!"

Just when many gun fans were excited and thought that their team was going to create a scene where they scored goals and determined their advantage within ten minutes of the game, their home team's offense came to an abrupt end.

Then, the tone of the game was changed, and Arsenal began to have to face Sunderland's iron wall. The Black Cats, who were one goal behind, did not show their urgent desire to equalize after the start of the away game. Their stability made Arsenal a severe defeat.

On the stadium, the two teams had to start a tug-of-war.
