Chapter 371 Before the Semifinals
Before the FA Cup semi-finals, there will be three rounds of the league, and after the FA Cup final, the last two rounds of the league will start. Two weeks after the end of the league, the FA Cup final will start, and the two major domestic football events this year will officially end.

In the remaining five rounds, it is very important for the four teams aspiring to win the championship!

Although the City League has not completely broken out of the relegation zone at this time, it has always maintained a certain distance from the relegation zone in terms of points. As long as it does not make too many mistakes, it is basically safe to stay in relegation.

After the fifth-to-last round of the league, the situation of relegation gradually became clear. After the city league defeated the opponent, it also increased its points and the relegation zone to seven points. With four rounds left in the league, seven points is still a score that is difficult to catch up.

The Shencheng team also defeated their opponents and firmly followed the winning group. In the next two rounds, the City League achieved a record of [-] win and [-] loss. Although the point gap with the relegation zone has narrowed to six points, no matter how you calculate it, the City League can rank ahead of those teams that are likely to tie with them.City League succeeded in relegation two rounds ahead of schedule!
And the Shencheng team won three consecutive victories, successfully overtaking the second place in the standings, and only one point behind the No.1 Yancheng team!Of course, it is only one point ahead of the Beijing team and the Shancheng team with the same score behind them.

With two rounds left in the league, the gap between the top four in the league standings is only one more goal!This has not happened for many years.

The competition for the league championship is becoming increasingly tense!
"Everyone knows the overall situation now! Our opponent in the semi-finals is the Beijing team. We will go away first and then host. The interval between the two games in this semi-final is only three days. After we finish the away game, we will basically return to the home court with the players of the Beijing team. Therefore, our rest time is the same!" Liu Feiyu said.

"Xiao Feifei, do you mean that our home field advantage will be weakened?" Chen Tianhao said.

"That's right, but in the double-round knockout match, the away team will have some advantages. As long as we have an away goal, we will take the absolute initiative!" Liu Feiyu said.

"That's right! We will definitely score!" Chen Tianhao said.

"Haozi is right! This year's Beijing team's league performance is very good, and they also scored a lot of goals, but at the same time, the Beijing team conceded the most goals among the top four, and more than the teams behind him!" Liu Feiyu said: "So I think away goals are relatively easier than defending the Beijing team's offense."

Liu Feiyu paused for a moment, turned on the projector, and continued: "This year, the three foreign players brought in by the Beijing team are also frontcourt players. Their individual technical characteristics are also very distinctive. The most important thing is that these three foreign players integrated into the team very quickly. The Beijing team is also the team with the best cooperation between foreign players and domestic players, so there is basically no team in the frontcourt that can be prevented."

Liu Feiyu's words are very well-founded. In this year's league, the Beijing team has broken the gate of every team. In all the games, the Beijing team only failed to score in three games.There were goals in other games, including two five-goal wins and one six-goal win.

"Let's focus on the three games in which the Beijing team did not score. The first game was the home game between the Beijing team and the Yancheng team. In that game, the Beijing team lost two goals at home. However, in the subsequent away game, the Beijing team returned the favor, and the away game was 3:2 immediately. In the first match, the midfielder of the Yancheng team was absent due to injury!" Liu Feiyu pointed to the No. 30 player of the Yancheng team on the big screen and said: "This player has cut off the connection between the three foreign players of the Beijing team and the domestic players. In the whole game, this No. [-] player has more than [-] effective steals in this game, which means that there will be one effective steal in a few minutes, and his coverage area basically covers all the areas between the two restricted areas!" Liu Feiyu pointed to the big screen and said. : "Of course, such a player still has a long shot."

Then Liu Feiyu adjusted the screen, and continued: "This is the second game in which the Beijing team did not score a goal. It was a 0-0 away game against Yicheng. You must know that in the first round, the Beijing team beat Yicheng with four goals at home. In this game, the method used by the Yicheng team is similar to that of the Yancheng team. Of course, this is only defensive, and the Yicheng team used three players to complete what the Yancheng team's No. [-] player did before!"

Liu Feiyu pointed to the big screen and said: "No. 19, No. 31, and No. [-]! It was the foreign player who was constantly interfering with the Jingcheng team. They didn't play well throughout the game! However, Yicheng's ability to draw with the Jingcheng team also depends on their comprehensive defense."

Liu Feiyu paused for a moment, and then changed the screen while talking, "So the Yicheng team gave up their offense and defended with all their strength to prevent the Beijing team from breaking through the gate. Well, let's watch the last game, which is also the most recent one."

Liu Feiyu pointed to the big screen and said, "The Beijing team was tied 0-0 at home by the Juncheng team!" Liu Feiyu said, entering the big screen to enlarge it, and then continued: "Everyone pay attention, this is a quick counterattack by the Beijing team in the first half. This quick counterattack did not result in a shot. Then the player from the Juncheng team intercepted the ball!"

At this moment, what appeared on the big screen was Wei Daming, the central defender of the Juncheng team, an old player who had been selected for the national team.

"Let's take a look at Wei Daming's position when the Jingcheng team launched a counterattack." Liu Ziyu moved the screen again, and continued: "At that time, Wei Daming was in this position, but when the Jingcheng team launched a counterattack, Wei Daming did not retreat very fast, but was staring at the Jingcheng team's wing. It turned out that Wei Daming's judgment was correct! Start quickly and destroy the football!" Liu Feiyu said: "The result is that this counterattack did not complete the shot! So everyone must pay attention to the movement of the opponent's players when defending. Of course, Wei Daming's successful defense this time is largely due to experience, and part of it is luck. But it is worth learning!"
