Wednesday, January 21, the first leg of the Carling Cup semi-final.


    Chelsea face Bolton on the road.


    Just at the beginning of the game, the morale of the blue team on the back of the main, Bolton launched a crazy press.


    Just one minute after the opening, Lampard finished the match for Gudjohnsen after breaking the ball in the front court. He volleyed near the penalty spot to open the door to victory for Chelsea.


    This goal completely stunned the fans of the home team, and also surprised all the media reporters who came to the road after Chelsea. But what shocked them even more was that after the goal, Lampard turned and rushed to the side of the field, hugged the coach Gao Han, and they looked very close.


    Not only all the fans and reporters, but also the audience in front of the TV were shocked.


    The media is not always in the pass, Lampard and alpine discord, making to leave the team?


    Even his agent has been in frequent contact with other teams, especially Manchester United. Even Ferguson himself has said welcome words to Lampard, but what is the situation now?


    However, on the pitch, Chelsea did not pay any attention to other people''s ideas and still suppressed Bolton.


    But when everyone thought Middlesbrough would enter the final, Arsene made a substitution adjustment at the critical moment. Reyes, the Spanish youngster introduced during the winter break, used a counterattack to score a crucial goal and dragged the game into extra time.


    However, both sides failed to perform well in extra time. Arsenal, with one less player, was forced to defend and counterattack, and finally kept the score to the end. With the number of away goals, they eliminated Middlesbrough and successfully advanced to the final.


    The final will be held on February 29, the last Sunday in February, at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which is also the venue for the England Cup final since the Wembley Stadium was rebuilt.


    The match between Chelsea and Arsenal in the final of the Carling Cup has also brought the cup, which has not been taken seriously, back to the vision of Premier League fans all over the world.


    But Gao and Arsene Wenger have no spare time to pay attention to this final, because three days after the second round of the semi-final, the Premier League ushered in the 23rd round.


    Chelsea, who beat Bolton 2-0 at home in the second leg of the Carling Cup semi-final, returned to the Premier League with a steady attack and beat Blackburn 3-0 away.


    Eto''o scored twice and Ibrahimovic scored one.


    But it didn''t last long. In another match that followed, Arsenal beat Manchester City 2-1 at home and Henry scored the team''s second goal.


    As a result, in the Premier League scorer list, Henry continued to lead with 18 goals, Eto''o took second place with 17 goals, Hiller ranked third with 16 goals, van Nistelrooy ranked fourth with 15 goals, Ibrahimovic and Saha, who just transferred to Manchester United, both scored 14 goals and tied for fifth.


    Relative to the league in the dust, the shooters on the list of brilliant, but has become the focus of media reporters.


    In particular, the pre-season bets made by the cold weather and media reporters worried the media all over England.


    Watching Eto''o approach Henry step by step and Ibrahimovic follow suit, the English media are worried that if they lose, they will publish an apology.


    A week later, in the 24th round of the Premier League, Chelsea won Charlton 2-0 at home. Edwin van der Sar made an eye-catching performance and won the cheers of the Stamford Bridge fans.


    Eto''o and Ibrahimovic''s goal momentum is not reduced, continue to double goals.


    But this round Arsenal away game 3:1 wins wolves, Henry also scored a goal, continues to suppress Eto''o in the scorer list.


    But United beat Everton 4-3 away.


    Ferguson''s team had a three goal lead when Moyes''s team pulled three goals in a row, then relied on van Nistelrooy''s goal to win Everton.


    Van Nistelrooy and Saha both scored twice.


    This also made the media reporters revel after the game, because with this goal, van Nistelrooy caught up with Henry and Eto''o with 17 goals, and there was only one goal gap between them.


    But Saha, with 16 goals, tied Alan Shearer and stepped on Ibrahimovic, who scored 15 goals.


    As a result, at the end of this round, the British media touted Manchester United one after another, believing that the Red Devils have two big strikers and their attack power is better than that of Chelsea.


    However, Gao Han scoffed at this kind of speech and thought it was a fantasy of having fun and suffering after losing the league.


    "Saha''s goals, at least half of the credit should belong to Fulham, but Eto''o and Ibrahimovic''s goals are all achieved in Chelsea, they are worthy of the Premier League''s best attack combination


    "I can understand the minds of some people who want to hit me and my players, but I want to say that we won''t be fooled and I can guarantee that they will score more goals!"


    As it turns out, the words of Alpine are not exaggerated at all.


    Three days after playing Charlton, it was the 25th round of the Premier League when Chelsea beat Portsmouth 2-0 away.


    Ibrahimovic and Eto''o each scored one goal.


    But in this round, Henry scored twice to help Arsenal beat Southampton 2-0.


    Van Nistelrooy also scored a goal, but Manchester United lost to Middlesbrough 2-3 at home.


    Judging from the current situation in the Premier League, Chelsea have won the league championship, while Arsenal continue to take the second place in the league, and Manchester United gradually fall to the third place in the league.


    The top three teams have little suspense, only the fourth in the league, including Liverpool, Newcastle, Birmingham, Charlton, Fulham and Bolton, even Tottenham, Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa. The competition is very fierce.


    In the shooter list, Henry scored 21 goals, with the advantage of two goals, suppressing Eto''o who scored 19 goals.


    Van Nistelrooy was third, scoring 18 goals.


    Although Saha started this round, he failed to score. On the contrary, Ibrahimovic scored a goal and finally caught up with him. Together with Alan Shearer, he scored 16 league goals, ranking fourth.


    Veteran Alan Shearer scored a lot of goals before the winter break, but after the winter break, the situation is not optimistic.


    On the contrary, it was Henry, van Nistelrooy, Eto''o and Ibrahimovic who scored very steadily.


    But for British journalists, they don''t care about anything else. Instead, they focus on their bets with alpine.


    In their view, as long as Henry can get the top scorer, even if Gao Han leads Chelsea to the championship, he will lose.


    As a result, everyone has their eyes on the 26th round of the Premier League.


    After 25 rounds of training, the national team began to train, and then another important battle.


    Chelsea at home against Arsenal!
