In the second leg of the League Cup semi-finals, Swansea shook hands with Chelsea at home.

In the end, he defeated the Blues Chelsea with a total score of 2-0 and advanced to the finals.

In the 80th minute of this game, in a hurry to get the football, Hazard played Swansea's caddie Charlie Morgan's ribs and was sent off by the referee Chris Foey on the red card.

After the game, there are two completely different views on Hazard's red card.

Some people think that Hazard is a serious crime and must be severely punished.

There are also voices that if the caddie had not deliberately delayed time, such a thing would have happened.

In fact, this caddie is not an ordinary person. He is the son of Swansea director Martin Morgan. Before the game, Charlie Morgan said on Twitter that he would show his ultimate performance to delay time and deserve the title of "King of Caddy".

Back to the topic, Swansea eliminated Chelsea and reached the League Cup final.

For Swansea, they have made history.

Swansea has never reached the quarterfinals of the League Cup in the past, but this time they reached the finals in one go!

Moreover, Swansea's promotion journey is not easy. Swansea's dead souls include powerful people like Liverpool and Chelsea.

If we count the league defeats Arsenal and draws with Manchester United, Swansea can be regarded as a miracle teacher in Premier League teams this season.

The Daily Telegraph praised: Salute to Swansea taking off his hat!

Compared with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Aston Villa, Swansea are hardly worth mentioning.

This Welsh club is a model of small business operations. Last summer, they Wubaiwushiwan introduced Spanish international midfielder Pablo Hernandez, which is the most valuable signing in the club's history.

Also last summer, they sold Joe Allen to Liverpool and received £15 million, which is the most valuable player in Swansea's history.

Swansea does not have rich bosses like Abu. They compete in low-level leagues all year round, allowing them to develop the good habit of being careful in budgeting.

Using the money sold by Jo Allen can create a highly combative team.

2 million pounds to introduce central defender Chico, 2 million euros to acquire La Liga Vallecano's "midfielder scorer" Michu, got Villarreal's Dguzmann at a low price and Swansea's extremely affordable signings. The successful operation has become a unique landscape of "burning money to the Premier League".

Interestingly, Aston Villa is also considered to be a club with very good business and very healthy finances.

Aston Villa is also defined by some media as ‘buy low and sell high’.

Of course, this is more of a joke. Aston Villa spent a total of £90.8 million in signings last summer. They were the club that spent the most money last summer in the Premier League. Even the richest people like Manchester City did not spend much more money.

Aston Villa, who spent more than 90 million pounds in the transfer market, is considered the most profitable club in the Premier League.

If you look at the income of Aston Villa selling people, you will understand why the media said that.

The recruitment cost 90.8 million pounds, and Aston Villa made a total of 283.1 million pounds in selling.

Last summer, Aston Villa made a net profit of £192.3 million through the transfer market just.

At the pre-match press conference of the League Cup final, Fang Jue praised Swansea's healthy finance, business and competitive state.

"Swansea is a respectable opponent. They have excellent results and very healthy finances. They are a beautiful landscape in the Premier League."

"We will have trouble in this game, and of course, I believe we are closer to victory."

...

February 24, London, New Wembley Stadium.

Fang Jue made his final speech to the players in the South locker room.

"The key to freezing Swansea's attack lies in freezing Mi Chu." Fang Jue said with a serious expression.

Michu is definitely the core of Swansea's offensive.

The outstanding performance of this Spanish civilian star has attracted the attention of the entire English media.

The Daily Telegraph had a previous report reviewing Michu's debut in Swansea.

On that afternoon in August, Swansea fullback Ranhel was teaching a newcomer to a "Premier League rookie" in Loftes Road stadium by example: "This is the first game of the season and your first Premier League game. You don't know that every away game here is very difficult. Not to mention winning, it's good enough to draw. You must be mentally prepared to fight hard."

Following the advice of teammate Ranhull, it was Michu, who had just transferred from Vallecano to Swansea for 2 million pounds last summer. With the halo of "Jeho Lin of La Liga" ("As") that the 26-year-old striker officially stepped onto the Premier League.

However, what Ranhull never expected was that just two hours later, Mi Chu, who was still tutoring English in his spare time, announced his arrival with an amazing personal performance: two goals and one assist, Swansea beat the Queens Park Rangers 5-0 away.

This season, the Premier League has been held for twenty-seven rounds, and Michu has performed a personal phenomenal performance: he scored 13 goals in 27 league games, and successively scored goals from Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea, helping Swansea reach the League Cup final for the first time in history. Almost with his own strength, he attracted the attention of the British media for Spanish civilian players.

In this regard, the Daily Mail even published a series of special topics to discuss which player can become the "next Michu" - a civilian star with a transfer fee of only 2 million pounds, but he can score nearly 20 goals at two-thirds of the season.

Seeing this unknown Espanyol ascended to the Premier League, even Sir Ferguson quipped publicly: "We actually missed such a player. It seems that I have to question Manchester United's scouting department."

Fang Jue had also been interviewed by the media before. When talking about Mi Chu, Fang Jue said in an admiration, "Sir Ferguson said he wanted to hold Manchester United scouting department accountable, but I wanted to hold myself accountable. I actually missed such a player."

Once upon a time, Michu, who could only play for financially strapped clubs like Oviedo, Celta, and Vallecano, has now become a phenomenal star in the Premier League and is said to have attracted the attention of Spanish national team coach Bosque.

"White, Michu is handed over to you." Fang Jue said to Clement.

"Don't worry, boss." Clement promised.

Fang Jue looked at his watch and it was almost time.

"Okay, let me say one last thing, defense is never a way to solve problems. Attack, goals, strive to score early, and establish the victory as soon as possible." Fang Jue said, "If everyone can score as many goals as possible early and lock the victory and championship into the safe, our Iron Man will also be more relaxed. He will treat you to a meal."

In addition to accumulating yellow cards, Clement has been almost fully attending this season.

"I won the championship, I treat the whole team." Clement said in due time.

This sentence attracted everyone's cheers, and no one missed this meal. The attitude of the head coach and the captain and the confident attitude made the whole team feel comfortable. This is a reflection of the strong self-confidence of this champion team.

...

The game has been around for more than ten minutes.

Fang Jue sat in the coach's seat, crossing his legs with a relaxed expression.

He even took a leisurely glance at Swansea coach Michael Laudrup, who looked a little impatient and kept waving on the sidelines.

Laudrup pressed before signaling Swansea, and pressed more fiercely.

Facing the three consecutive Premier League champions Aston Villa, Swansea head coach Michael Lauderup knew that he could not sit still and wait for death. Swansea played very proactively in today's final.

This kind of initiative is through active fighting.

Swansea learned how Arsenal played in the 27th round of the league match between Arsenal and Aston Villa.

The whole audience pressed Aston Villa desperately.

In fact, at the pre-match tactical meeting, some members of Laudrup's coaching staff raised objections, and his objection was that Arsenal's tactics seemed effective, but Arsenal eventually lost to Aston Villa 2-4:

It seems that Aston Villa lost to Ibrahimovic, but it is actually a sequelae of Arsenal's fierce fighting in the first half of the game.

Laudrup rejected the assistant's objection, saying that he had considered what the assistant said, but not to mention the second half, Arsenal led Aston Villa 1-0 in the first half, which shows that Arsenal's tactics were successful.

This is exactly what Swansea wants to learn.

As for physical exhaustion, including Aston Villa's previous FA Cup game, Swansea rested for three days over Aston Villado, and Swansea had a rotation in the last round of the league. Their physical strength was better, which was enough to support this full-game pressing tactic.

Michael Laudrup felt confident.

...

The game ended in the fifteenth minute of the first half.

Taking advantage of Swansea's desperate attempt to snatch the defense caused empty space, Aston Villa launched a fast attack.

Michu was pressed by Clement, and he passed the ball to Ji Chengyong.

The Korean international stopped the ball, and it seemed that the turf was not flat, and the football had a bounce. Milner poked his foot out from his side and poked the football.

Modric came over to intercept the ball, and Aston Villa immediately launched a quick counterattack attack.

The Croatian midfielder made a beautiful straight pass and directly tore open Swansea's defense.

What's next is very simple for a team with offensive configurations like Mane, Hamei, Ibrahimovic and Valdi.

Ibrahimovic, Hamei and Mane played and passed quickly. In the end, the Swedish veteran faced Swansea captain Williams who was defending him, and made a fake shot and made a real pass, and skillfully sent the ball behind him.

Vardy had a beautiful running position, the fierce team stopped the ball, and successfully entered the penalty area on offside.

Facing the attacking Swansea goalkeeper Tremel, Vardy shot low, and the football bypassed Tremel's feet and flew into the far goal.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooaal!”

"Beautiful, the ball went in! Jamie Vardy! Ibrahimovic's beautiful assist, Vardy's low shot, Aston Villa took the lead!!!"

"A quick counterattack that made people jump up and cheer, Aston Villa showed the world their powerful offensive energy." The narrator shouted.

The huge cheers of Aston Villa fans rang out in the stands at the New Wembley Stadium.

Many neutral fans in front of the TV also cheered and praised. Aston Villa has successfully risen in recent seasons. The team has won one victory after another and one championship trophy for Villa to win a considerable number of new fans around the world. Even those other relatively large number of neutral fans who have not yet been converted into fans have a good impression of this team.

This also has something to do with Aston Villa's victory and honor of excellent quality and not much controversy.

...

Michael Laudrup is a little bit furious.

He frowned.

Swansea's goal loss is fundamentally related to their desperate pressing.

Yes, this kind of full-game press is a protection for the defense, but in some cases, it becomes a hidden danger of losing the ball.
