Chapter 232 Football Association Cup

No. 15 minutes after the opening of the second half, the gate of the City League fell again, and the Liangang team scored another goal, leading 3:0.This goal also basically killed the game, making the game no longer suspenseful.After more than ten minutes, the two sides fell into a stalemate. After that, both sides also made some substitutions and adjustments. The Liangang team's desire to attack was not very strong. Although the City League played a few good counterattacks, they did not score.

The first home game of the City League ended in failure. After the game, Liu Feiyu led the frustrated players to leave the field as usual. What the players did not expect was that the enthusiasm of the tens of thousands of fans at home did not disappear because of the loss. Instead, they communicated with the players one after another to encourage them.

"We will work hard!" Liu Feiyu shouted loudly.

"We will work hard!" City League players shouted together.

Ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.Despite the hard work of the City League players, in the next three rounds, the City League only achieved one draw and two losses. After six rounds, the City League had one win, one draw and three losses, accumulating four points and ranking first from the bottom.Things are not looking good.

"Xiao Feifei, we don't really travel for a year, do we?" In private, Chen Tianhao asked Liu Feiyu.

"Impossible!" Liu Feiyu replied very neatly: "Although our current points are low, we have not widened the gap with the previous opponents. The most important thing is that we have already played against the most powerful teams in the league. The remaining opponents are not much stronger than us, so we still have opportunities to grab points."

Liu Feiyu's words are not unreasonable. Although the city league is now the bottom one in points, the gap with the previous teams is also within five points, a matter of two games.So Liu Feiyu doesn't think City League can be relegated.

Now Liu Feiyu is worried about the home fans. In the past four rounds, the City League has two home games and four away games. Among them, there are two consecutive losses at home and two consecutive losses in away games.The only point was won by the last away game against the Eastern Guangdong team. While ending the four-game losing streak, they also scored a precious point. On the road to relegation, any point is crucial.

Due to the poor record at home, the attendance rate of fans is a problem. In the last game in Xicheng, some fans left early.This is not a good sign.

After six rounds, the league came to an end. During this period, there were training sessions for the national team and matches in the FA Cup.

The Football Association Cup is divided into six rounds, of which the first five rounds will be played within one month, and the final will be held in November, one week after the end of the league.

According to the competition system, the City League will face the Liaoheyuan team of the second-level league in the first round. This is a familiar opponent of the City League. Liu Feiyu, who was planning to give up the FA Cup and concentrate on the league, due to the attendance of the home fans, intends to face the FA Cup home court seriously and use his record to win back the goal. , As a result, the City League won 5:0 at home, which also gave the City League in a downturn a shot in the arm!

In the second round of the next first round, although the Liaoheyuan team played at home, they were defeated by a large score in the first round, which made the Liaoheyuan team, which was about to give up the FA Cup, even more unwilling to fight. With a small loss at home, the City League successfully entered the second round of the FA Cup.

This is also good news for the City League, which is on the verge of relegation.

In the second round of the FA Cup, the opponent of the City League was the Huaihe team that unexpectedly knocked out the first-level league Guangdong team in the last round.

The Huaihe team is also a team that aims to advance to the next level. It was an unintentional move to eliminate the Guangdong team in the last round. It won a small 1:0 in the first round, and the two sides scored 0:0 in the second round.This allowed the Huaihe team, who had no intention of entering the next round, to enter the next round, and the Guangdong team members probably did not pay much attention to the Football Association Cup. Their main goal is to win the top league championship!

So I didn't feel anything when I was eliminated.

However, this allowed the City League to pick up a big deal.This time the City League defeated the Huaihe team by a big score at the Donghai Stadium. This victory made some Donghai fans even think that it doesn't matter if the City League is relegated.

The big score victory at home made the away game boring. As a result, the City League successfully entered the third round of the FA Cup, which is the quarter-finals.

"Should we think about it?" Liu Feiyu looked at Gu Xiaomeng and said.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Xiaomeng said.

"The Football Association Cup." Liu Feiyu said.

"What's there to think about, it's already here, let's play hard." Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

"But our strength is difficult to fight on two fronts." Liu Feiyu said.

"Isn't this a concentrated game, and it's not played together." Gu Xiaomeng said.

"But we don't have enough replacement players, which is a great loss to the physical fitness of the main players." Liu Feiyu said.

"I asked Vicente, and he said that with the current physical fitness of our players, there is no problem." Gu Xiaomeng said with a smile.

"No problem?" Liu Feiyu looked at Gu Xiaomeng and said.

"Yeah." Gu Xiaomeng nodded.

"Great!" Liu Feiyu said with a smile, "Then let's have a good game!"

The teams that entered the quarter-finals of the FA Cup were Liangang, Shanghai Shen, Ludong, Shouan, City League, five top-level league teams, and three second-tier league teams, Shanghai North Team, Jinmen Team, and Nanyue Team.

The matchup situation is Ludong team against Jinmen team, City League team against Shanghai North team, Shouan team against Nanyue team, and the top two league teams Liangang and Shanghai Shen team are the highlight of the quarter-finals.

The quarter-finals are still home and away.

This time, the Urban League is the guest before the host.

The Hubei team is not an easy opponent to deal with, and since it has entered the quarterfinals, there is no team without ideas. After all, the FA Cup champion is also the champion!

Once again set foot on the home court of the Hubei team, the players of the city league were inexplicably excited. The players who had been beaten in the top league and couldn't find their way to the north actually found their sense in the FA Cup and reached the quarter-finals all the way, and they still hope to go further.

That's enough to get City League players excited.
