Chapter 198 Advance to the French Cup Final

Ajaccio is the capital of the French province of South Corsica and is geographically located in the Gulf of Ajaccio on the west coast of Corsica.

Ajaccio is also an ancient fishing port, and it is the economic, commercial, transportation center and largest city of Corsica.

In addition, Ajaccio is also the hometown of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte. Napoleon was born here in 1769. This is the birthplace of Napoleon Bonaparte I. There is the ancestral house where Napoleon was born. Now it has been set up as the Napoleon Memorial.

Ajaccio Football Club is a professional football club in Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica, one of the four major Mediterranean islands in southeast France.

The Ajaccio Club was founded in 1910. Its home court is the Francois Coty Stadium with 12000 seats. It is located in Ajaccio City, which has a population of only 6 plus the suburbs. The Francois Coty Stadium is already a huge local stadium.

But tonight's protagonist is not Ajaccio Football Club, which is playing in Ligue [-], but another city team, GFC Ajaccio Football Club.

Compared with Ajaccio Football Club, GFC Ajaccio Football Club is "weaker" in almost every aspect. The GFC Ajaccio Club, which was formed in 1997, was established 87 years later than Ajaccio Club.

GFC Ajaccio's home stadium is the Casanova Stadium, a small stadium with a capacity of only 5000 fans. Although the stadium has complete facilities, it is definitely not as good as the Francois Coty Stadium in the same city.

But it is this small club that is still working hard in the French C-League, relying on the tenacious fighting spirit of the whole team to stage a "dark horse" drama all the way in this season's French Cup.

Looking back on GFC Ajaccio's French Cup journey this season, GFC Ajaccio, who advanced from the play-offs to the main match, first defeated Toulouse from Ligue 32 in the top [-], and then won Troyes, a league level higher than himself, and then luckily met Durancy, who was at a lower level in the [-]-to-[-] game, and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the French Cup.

After that, in the competition for the semi-finals, GFC Ajaccio encountered a real strong team, that is, Montpellier, the biggest "dark horse" in Ligue [-] this season.

When no one was optimistic that GFC Ajaccio would continue to stay in the French Cup, this small team in the French third-tier league broke out with a high-spirited fighting spirit, and finally let Montpellier stop the French Cup quarter-finals with a score of 1:0.

After an upset victory over Montpellier, GFC Ajaccio advanced to the semi-finals of the French Cup this season, and their opponent in the semi-finals tonight is Paris Saint-Germain.

Because each team attaches different importance to it, and because the French Cup is a single-elimination competition, just like other countries' cups are also a hotbed of unpopularity, the French Cup has always had a tradition of unpopularity.

Before GFC Ajaccio defeated Montpellier in an upset, the media may have misjudged once, but against Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-finals, they believe that there will be no such misjudgment again.

Because Paris Saint-Germain has always attached great importance to the French Cup, the team also urgently needs this French Cup championship trophy to prove its reputation as the "King of the Cup" in France.

As the media expected, Paris Saint-Germain did attach great importance to this French Cup semi-final, and Ancelotti is also eager to win the championship trophy in his first season in charge.

Therefore, even if it is an away game, even if the opponent is a team in the French third-tier league, Ancelotti still brought a full lineup to Ajaccio.

As an opponent, GFC Ajaccio also wants to go further in the French Cup. Their morale is also high recently. In the last round of the French League 1, GFC Ajaccio rose to No.0 in the league after beating Rouen 2:[-] away.

Another French Cup semi-final will also start at the same time tonight. The opponents are Kwiy and Rennes, and the stadium is a neutral stadium.

Like GFC Ajaccio, the Kwiy club, also in the French third division, also won the semi-finals of the French Cup this season.

It's just that Kwij's path to the semi-finals was much easier than GFC Ajaccio's. It wasn't until the eight-to-four knockout round that Kwij met a club from Ligue [-] for the first time.

Facing Marseille, in the 10 minutes of the game, Kwij was equalized by Marseille striker Remy after scoring the first goal, and the two sides fought to a 1:1 draw.

Subsequently, the two teams entered overtime. In overtime, although Remy scored another goal, it was not equal to Aina's brace after all.

In the end, relying on Kvey's leading striker Aina's two goals including overtime, Aina, who performed a hat-trick, led Kvey to continue to move forward, and Remy, who scored twice, was powerless.

Therefore, Marseille lost 2:3 to Kwij in the away game, thus missed the semi-finals of the French Cup, and could only give up the promotion places.

Kwij's opponent in the semi-finals was Rennes. Rennes defeated teams of the same level in Ligue [-] in the process of promotion. Nancy, Nice and Valenciennes have all become the background boards for Rennes' promotion.

The day before the game, Wang Zi called his friend Morris and learned that Morris would start the semi-final against Kwij. Wang Zi also cheered for his friend on the phone.

In this regard, Morris on the other end of the phone also expressed his blessings to Wang Zi. The two agreed to win their respective opponents and then meet in the French Cup final.

In the corner area, Nene took a tactical corner kick, and the Paris Saint-Germain midfielder passed the ball to Wang Zi who came to meet him.

Catching the ball near the baseline, Wang Zi didn't hit back to Nene, but turned around with the ball.

The GFC Ajaccio defender closest to Wang Zi stepped forward to intercept. Facing the comer, Wang Zi first pulled the ball to the back of his body, then used the toe of the other foot to catch the ball behind him, and while pulling the ball to the front with the toe, Wang Zi quickly changed feet and made a small jump to make an outward step.

Under Wang Zi's action, the GFC Ajaccio defensive player was obviously anxious, and then tried to step forward to steal Wang Zi, but this obviously anxious attack achieved the goal Wang Zi wanted.

Wang Zi, facing the defensive player sideways, saw the opportunity of the opponent's legs wide open. After a simple pull back, Wang Zi then dialed the ball and easily completed the crotch piercing of the GFC Ajaccio defensive player.

After wearing the crotch, Wang Zi broke into the penalty area, and then passed the ball in an inverted triangle to Gameiro in the middle of the penalty area. The Paris Saint-Germain forward shoveled in front of the goal and broke the goal of the GFC Ajaccio goalkeeper.

The day after the French Cup semi-final, the sports channel on the TV screen repeatedly played the goal of Paris Saint-Germain.

In this French Cup semi-final with GFC Ajaccio, Paris Saint-Germain finally scored 4:0 and scored zero opponents. Wang Zi contributed a wonderful breakthrough assist in the game.

After defeating GFC Ajaccio, Paris Saint-Germain successfully advanced to the final.

In another semi-final of the French Cup, Morris opened the scoring for Rennes in the 8th minute of the opening, but Kwiy quickly adjusted after conceding a goal first, and scored two consecutive goals in the second half, and finally reversed Rennes with a score of 2:1 to advance to the final.

Rennes missed the final, and Morris failed to fulfill his agreement with Wang Zi, but he has tried his best.

Kwiy, who advanced to the final, also successfully surpassed GFC Ajaccio to become the biggest "dark horse" of the French Cup this season.
