Don't think that the revenge of Borger targeting North Glenford United has ended here. Before the end of the first half, Borger dribbled into the penalty area and tripped by the opponent, and Wimbledon got another penalty.

Seeing Borger work so hard, Kevin Cooper gave him the penalty. As a result, Borger shot hard and the football crashed into the goal from the middle. Wimbledon had already led 3:0 before the first half was over.

At the end of the first half, the players of North Glenford United were almost crying - why were they so unlucky? Last season, they planned to take advantage of the turf difference in different halfs after the rain. Unexpectedly, they lost the coin and the half that was favorable to the offense fell into their own hands and suffered. This time, they wanted to anger Wimbledon No. 17, which caused him to be sent off, now it seems that they have successfully angered the other party, but the opponent's anger turned into goals... During the break, Eames did not ask what Borger and Chu said again, nor did he ask why Borger was so irritable at the beginning of the game.

But Borger himself took the initiative to stand up, apologized to his teammates for his poor performance in the first half of the first half, and explained why he became so irritable and dangerous.

"I received a call from Alai last night. He told me that he was sorry for keeping it from me. In fact, since he was injured, he knew that he couldn't continue playing football."

What Borger said shocked others. They never saw Russell again in the new season. They originally thought Russell must have gone to the Weling United. Who would have thought he would have retired completely?

"Today's opponent happened to be the team that caused Alley to be injured last time, so I was a little impulsive. I apologized to everyone for the unnecessary yellow card. Fortunately, I have not been sent off." Borge said very sincerely, and then he glanced at Chu Zhongtian sitting in front of his cabinet. "I think I must thank someone. If it weren't for him, I would have been sent off with a red card long ago."

He did not say Chu Zhongtian's name, but everyone knew who that person was, because they turned their heads and looked over with Borge's gaze.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Zhongtian grinned.

Eames stood up and said, "Okay, the matter has been resolved. I'll ask you a question now: we took the lead in three goals in the first half, what do you plan to play in the second half?"

Everyone looked at each other, not quite understanding what the boss meant. Wouldn't it be better to lead three goals in the first half?

Imes knew that the players misunderstood what he meant, so he explained: "I personally think that three goals are enough to ensure that we win this game, but I want to hear your opinions. Is it like this? Or is it going to score a few more goals in the second half?"

"Of course I'm scoring another goal, boss!" Chu Zhongtian stood up. "I don't mind scoring too many goals, do anyone complain?" He blinked at Borger.

Borger also stood up and expressed his support for Chu Zhongtian: "I hope I can score a goal in the next game!" He clenched his fists and waved it, obviously he had not yet taken revenge.

Others also agreed and agreed with their speeches.

Eames slapped his face: "Okay, let's continue to attack in the second half!"

※※※ Poor North Glenford United were sent four more goals by Wimbledon in the second half. They couldn't figure out why Wimbledon, who had three goals in the first half, was still so motivated because they had long forgotten the Wimbledon player who had been injured in the game with them.

The news of Russell's retirement has filled Wimbledon players with motivation, and they also hope to use a hearty victory to Russell, who has said goodbye to football.

So goals appeared one by one, which made the Wimbledon fans in the stands exclaim, and the cheers could hardly stop.

In the end, the score was frozen on "7:0". Borger scored a hat-trick, and he also had two assists, with Kevin Cooper and Joe Xilin scoring twice.

As for Chu Zhongtian, he was really leisurely in this game. He was beaten by Wimbledon's powerful offensive and had no fighting spirit. The lost North Glenford United did not organize a decent offensive to threaten Wimbledon's penalty area - let alone threaten the goal, they could not even threaten Wimbledon's defense in the third zone... As soon as the game ended, the players were surrounded by excited fans. You must know that this was the biggest victory since the team was formed.

Emily ran to Chu Zhongtian and asked him what he said to Borger during the game.

"Are you two quarreling?"

Chu Zhongtian glanced at Borge who was surrounded by others, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, you're arguing."

Emily frowned and looked at him for a while, then shook her head: "I don't look like it. What are you talking about?"

"I just told him to stay on the court if he wants to avenge Russell."

"Avenge Russell?" Emily didn't understand.

Speaking of this, the smile on Chu Zhongtian's face disappeared. "Yester yesterday Russell came to say goodbye to me, he was going to the United States."

"America? Why is it America? If I remember correctly, I remember he should go to the Weling United..."

"He retired," Chu Zhongtian said. "Because he suffered an ankle and knee injury in the game against North Glenford United, he couldn't continue playing."

"Ah..." Emily covered her mouth and stared at Chu Zhongtian with her eyes wide open, unable to believe it.

"Do you know why Borger was so irritable in the game? It's because he knew about it too."

"So that's what it is..." Emily pondered. "Then he is still teaching you football during the summer vacation?"

"He hopes that I can help him realize his ideal that he cannot achieve."

"What is it?" Emily asked curiously.

"Go and play professional football." Chu Zhongtian replied.

Emily looked at Chu Zhongtian in front of her in surprise.

As she watched her expression change from surprise to joy, her mouth closed and the corners of her mouth curled up, she laughed.

"But I didn't agree." Chu Zhongtian quickly explained when he saw her like this.

"I know, I know." Emily nodded vigorously, but obviously she didn't take Chu Zhongtian's explanation to heart.

Chu Zhongtian ignored her. Both of them had their own persistence on whether they wanted to play professional football. Emily firmly believed that Chu Zhongtian should play, while Chu Zhongtian insisted that he was not capable, qualified, and had no interest. Even if they were good friends, they could not find any common language on this issue.

"But it's so interesting. Why did Russell put his ideals into your hands? Isn't Borger better? And they're still very good friends..."

"That's the genius knows." Chu Zhongtian muttered.

When Emily heard him swearing, she pouted and was very dissatisfied.

Chu Zhongtian didn't see it. He was still talking about what happened yesterday. In fact, he was also worried about this now - Russell, what are you entrusting me? You have to entrust me with this? You are so rich and handsome, how good it would be to entrust some money to me with the beauty... "Chu!" Emily saw that Chu Zhongtian was distracted, so she put her hand in front of him and shook it.

"Ah? What's the matter, Emily?"

"I'll ask you if you will participate in the FA Cup qualifier next week?"

"FA Cup qualifiers? That's next Saturday, right? Of course I'll participate."

"You still insist on not participating in the mid-week game?"

"My identity is a student, my main job is learning, Emily..." Chu Zhongtian smiled helplessly.

Emily shrugged: "Luckily, the FA Cup was held on Saturday, otherwise... but you have to pray that the team will not tie the game."

"Why?" Chu Zhongtian asked. "Isn't there a rematch to the draw?"

The rules of the FA Cup are that in addition to the semi-finals and finals, if each round of matches is tied within 90 minutes, you need to choose a day to rematch. If the rematch is still tied, you will decide the winner in overtime. If the winner is still not determined in overtime, then the penalty kick will be final.

“Because the rematch is held in the middle of the week of the round.”

"Uh..." Chu Zhongtian was stunned.

※※September 9 is an ordinary Tuesday. Chu Zhongtian was sitting in the classroom and was in class, but today he was a little absent-minded. Last school year, he received a scholarship with his own hard work. Logically speaking, he should study harder now, but today he is so evil that no matter what the tutor said, he just can't listen.

He found that his mind was full of competitions in progress at this moment.

Wimbledon faces Ferimleglen at home, which is actually just an ordinary league game. The opponent is not strong. If nothing unexpected happens, Wimbledon can win easily, even if he doesn't go there, it's okay.

He had no reason to be obsessed with this game.

He looked at the left and front positions, and there was no one left. Charles Philip and Joseph Kenny both ran to watch the ball. After a school year honestly, they also began to get ready.

At noon, Chu Zhongtian took the football to practice on the court after lunch. Philip and Kenny followed him, trying to encourage him to change his mind and go to play the game. Chu Zhongtian did not want to skip class and did not agree. In the end, the two people ran to watch the game themselves.

He changed his sitting position and remembered what Emily said ten days ago.

He really has to thank the FA. He did not put the Cup in the middle of the week like other national FAs, but the weekend. Otherwise, he would have faced a very painful choice - he wanted to play in the FA Cup more than the league. Because only in the FA Cup games that any team is allowed to participate in can he meet those high-level opponents, and such a game will be more exciting.

Chu Zhongtian felt excited when he thought that he might face teams from the League One and Premier League.

In fact, the Cups held by the Football Association are basically useless among other countries, and the league is the most valued. However, English football is special. As the oldest football event in England and even the oldest in the world, the FA Cup has always enjoyed a high reputation and popularity. Before the establishment and development of the Premier League, the FA Cup has always been regarded as the most important honor in English football. Countless teams have the ultimate goal of winning the FA Cup.

The FA Cup is the only event under the FA that can attract fans and sponsors besides the national team. It is also one of the few important events that the FA still holds in its own hands. The Premier League is not the FA manager, they are managed by the Premier League company they established. The establishment of the Premier League is the product of "uneven distribution of spoils". For the most profitable football league in the world, the FA has only the power to appoint referees... If such a good resource is put into the middle of the week, it would be a waste! Of course, it has to make full use of it, so the number of fans who go to watch the game on site is the most popular weekend, and the weekend with the highest ratings is an excellent opportunity to hold the FA Cup. In order to make way for the FA Cup, leagues at all levels have to move to the middle of the week, and even the Premier League is no exception.

Thank you for the FA for making such arrangements. Chu Zhongtian has not missed his first FA Cup match now.

Just three days ago, on Saturday, September 6, Wimbledon welcomed the first FA Cup in their history of building a team. It was also the first FA Cup that Chu Zhongtian participated in since he was a woman. Although it was just a qualifying match... The FA Cup is different from the League Cup, the League Cup was a match against the FA Cup created by the English Football League in 1962, because the FA Cup was much more famous than the leagues at all levels and had a wide audience. Until now, except for the Premier League, the FA Cup is still the most famous and most popular event, and the League Cup has completely become useless. It is really a tragedy... The official name of the League Cup should actually be the "English Football League Cup". Only the 92 teams under the "League League" are qualified to participate in this event. The level of the participating teams is strictly limited and the competition has not made this event competitive.

In the FA Cup, we welcome all teams to participate with open arms, but it has a wide influence. This is worthy of reflection by many football workers - football is a grassroots sport, and only by allowing more people to participate can the sport be more vital. It is impossible to play elite games with closed doors and try every means to make football farther and farther away from ordinary people.

From the top Premier League giants to amateur teams, they are all eligible to participate in the FA Cup, which has also led to too many participating teams. Therefore, in terms of the schedule, the FA Cup is divided into three stages: qualifiers, qualifiers, and main matches. First, a single-game elimination qualifier is held, and the teams that can participate in the qualifiers are determined from hundreds of participating teams. Then, four rounds of qualifiers are still single-game eliminations, and teams of different levels are added in each round. Teams in the ninth league in the first round of qualifiers are added, and the second round of qualifiers are added in higher orders.

In the last round, all non-league league teams will participate. Teams that pass these four rounds of qualifying will be allowed to participate in the main game - this is the authentic FA Cup. Here, those amateur teams who have fought all the way will face professional teams that are countless times stronger than them - other two-tier league teams except the Premier League and League One teams. Most of the time, these brave amateur teams' FA Cup journey basically ends here, and the next game will be a higher-level battle.

The Premier League and League One (later English Championship) league teams joined in the third round of the main match, which was early January of the second year.

The first round of the qualifiers, four rounds of the qualifiers, and eight rounds of the main match. Suppose an amateur team that participates in the qualifiers wants to go to Wembley Stadium to see the big scene, and they need to pass the test of twelve games, which does not include the rematch you may encounter during the promotion process.

This is also the charm of the FA Cup. As long as you have strength and luck, you can create miracles. The FA Cup has been established for 130 years, and countless "dragon slaying" stories of weak defeating the strong are circulating among English fans. The Wimbledon team inherited by Chu Zhongtian has been the protagonist twice. One is known to defeat the powerful Liverpool in the final and reached the top. The other is earlier in 1975, they passed the six rounds of qualifying as the seventh league team and

The main game came to Burnley, the top team at that time. No one was optimistic about them. As a result, they defeated Burnley 1-0 away and advanced again. Their next round opponent was top league champion Leeds United. At Elland Road Stadium, Wimbledon's goalkeeper Dickie Guy saved a penalty from Peter Lorimer to defend a draw for the team. Unfortunately, they lost 0-1 in the rematch and failed to continue to create miracles.

Since there is a glorious precedent, can Wimbledon now create a miracle?

Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but get up.

If I could reach the FA Cup final...wow, I was played on Wembley Stadium and was broadcast live on TV... I became a star like that. At that time, countless media came to interview me, and maybe there would be Chinese media... Well, what if my mother found out?

My mother's angry face appeared in Chu Zhongtian's fantasy, and the colorful flowers, media reporters and the crowded Wembley Stadium all disappeared.

Chu Zhongtian, who woke up from his fantasy, originally planned to turn his attention back to the lecture, but found that it was getting more and more difficult.

So he ran away again, and he thought of the game three days ago.

At Kings Ranch, their opponent is Ashford_town. The team in the eighth level league is one level higher than them. From this level, the opponent should be better than them. The Wimbledon players also thought so before the game, so they prepared quite well and took this game very important. What is the result?

3:0. International practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in back.

Wimbledon won no doubt.

So much so that after the game, even Wimbledon's players themselves did not understand - is this the strength of the eighth-level league team?

Ashford Town is ranked in the middle of the eighth Division and can very well represent the level of the first division.

If this is really the representative of the backbone of the 8th Division, then Wimbledon would not stay there for too long after he was promoted, or Wimbledon now has the strength to surpass the 8th Division, and their vision should be farther and higher.

Chu Zhongtian suddenly looked forward to next season. This season he was his sophomore year and his junior year next season was his last year in the UK. If nothing unexpected happened after graduation, he would return to China to find a job. He hopes to help the team upgrade to another level in that last season and to the seventh league!

That's one step closer to the goal of the top league. Even if you leave by yourself, you will have no regrets, right?

Wimbledon, I don’t know if I will have another chance to come back here in the future. If there is still such a chance, I don’t know which league the New Crazy Gang did they fulfill their oath at the beginning of their establishment?

Back to the top league and return to Southwest London...
Chapter completed!
