The poorest Premier League star, the whole network begs for money

Chapter 51
However, if you give up the FA Cup directly, I am afraid there is no way to give the club fans an explanation.

After all, in history, the Arsenal club led by winning the FA Cup 15 times.The last time the FA Cup was won was in 2017.

Manchester United ranks second in history, winning 12 FA Cup titles.

No.3 Tottenham Hotspur won the FA Cup eight times, the most recent in 8.The age is so long that it is vaguely impressive
Therefore, Arsenal, who are the most expensive in the history of the FA Cup, must have the burden of the championship.

The best that Professor Wenger can do is to send a semi-main team to play in the FA Cup.

Also ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup fixtures,
The teams in the lower divisions of the Premier League have played two laps.

Because according to the rules, the Premier League and Champions League teams join the competition in the third round,
The FA Cup is played in eight rounds.

Before the fifth round, if the rounds are tied within 90 minutes, a rematch is required, and the two teams will switch home and away games in the rematch.If the rematch is tied within 90 minutes, extra time will be required to decide the winner. If the winner is still not determined after overtime, the winner will be decided by a penalty shootout.

In the semi-finals, it will be held on a neutral ground. If the opposing teams are tied within 90 minutes, overtime will be played to determine the winner. (Additional time is divided into the first half and the second half, each period is 15 minutes.) If there is still no winner in the overtime period, the winner will be determined by penalty kicks.

Finally, the rules for the finals are the same as for the semi-finals.

Arsenal's first FA Cup game starts on January 1.
They went away to play against a team from League One, Blackpool.

For this game, what Professor Wenger is worried about is not the physical consumption of the team, but the fear that the main players will be injured during the game.

Therefore, none of the important main players played in this game, although they entered the team's roster.
As soon as Arsenal opened, they took advantage of a corner kick and scored an early goal.

With a goal in hand, Arsenal played with ease and easily controlled the rhythm of the game. Blackpool's League One side had almost no chance to shoot.

The situation was originally a win-win situation.

But in the second half,
Arsenal youth midfielder Joe Willock was accidentally injured during a fight for the ball. Blackpool striker Gnarda grabbed the ball for a suspected foul and then sent the football into the dead corner.

Blackpool 1:1 Arsenal!
Not only was Arsenal equalized, but the young player Joe Willock was injured and couldn't hold on to the game anymore!

The situation has changed subtly! !
Professor Wenger thought for a while, and chose to let the equation on the bench come on as a substitute.

Professor Wenger didn't care much about winning or losing this game.

However, the youth players on the field were a little angry, because the playing style of the League One team on the opposite side was a bit dirty, and it was fine to make too many small moves, but they even used fouls to score a goal!
If Arsenal don't win this game, the youth players can't swallow this breath!

Therefore, in the No.708 minute, Blackpool's defense failed to withstand the pressure, and the young forward Nketiah created a penalty kick.

For this crucial penalty kick, Arsenal's youth players were a little bit worried, not knowing who to play, because their captain's armband was worn by goalkeeper Petr Cech.

The teenager Nketiah was thinking about whether to kick the penalty kick created by himself,

However, Professor Wenger, who was off the field, suddenly spoke, signaling that the penalty kick should be taken by the equation.

When the domestic commentator saw this scene, he was suddenly surprised: "What does this mean? Why is the equation used to take this penalty? Did the head coach Arsene Wenger ask him to do this?"

The live commentary couldn't help but start guessing,

"Friends from the audience, this is a bit interesting. I think this is because Wenger wants to train Equation specially. Maybe in the future, he will let Equation wear the captain's armband, tsk tsk tsk, does this mean to sell the captain? ?”

"Hahaha, of course I'm just joking! Now the penalty kick is very important, it depends on whether the equation can score!!"

"If the penalty is missed and the score is 1:1, then Arsenal will have to replay the FA Cup knockout match with Blackpool. The result is fatal!"

"If you don't make the penalty, the equation will face a lot of criticism!"

"It depends on whether he can withstand the pressure!!"

no doubt,

Arsenal definitely cannot accept another FA Cup knockout round!
This will undoubtedly add a lot of uncertain factors, and will definitely affect the team's competition for the Champions League qualification next season.

This is clear to all, including the equations!

At this time, several cameras in the stadium were all aimed at the equation.

In the stands behind the goal, the home team fans started booing him wildly!
Feeling the invisible huge pressure gathered at the scene,

Fang Fang took a deep breath,

Well, he kind of understands why Professor Wenger let himself take this penalty.

The purpose of this is obviously to let him experience this kind of atmosphere similar to the final.

Young players should experience this critical moment more, so as not to lose the chain at the most critical moment in the future.

anyway,

This seems to be the first penalty kick of his career!
"Little rookie, don't be scared to pee your pants!!"

Goalkeeper Howard was already jumping left and right in front of the goal, clapping his gloves and not forgetting to taunt Equation.

For such inferior psychological tactics,
Equations will naturally ignore it.

Standing in front of the door with hands on hips, waiting for the referee's whistle.

The youth training teammates behind lined up, looking at the back of the equation, they were a little worried that they would not score a penalty.

Including Professor Wenger standing on the sidelines, his gaze remained motionless and his hands were tightly clasped.

"Does this kid usually practice penalty kicks?" Professor Wenger asked uncertainly.

The teaching assistant next to him thought for a while before saying, "There should be."

"."

Professor Wenger suddenly felt a little regretful.

If this penalty is not scored, will it hurt the young people's self-confidence? ?
At this moment, the whistle finally rang!
"Is it the left?"

"Or right?!"

Goalkeeper Howard suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy, staring at Fang Fang's footsteps!
The equation moves,

He ran two steps decisively, without any fake movements, without any rhythm pause, and his upper body tilted slightly!
Kicked out directly with the inner instep of the left foot! !
Bang!
The turf was almost kicked away by him!
The football flies out at a 45-degree angle!The net was lifted violently! !
Goalkeeper Howard guessed the right direction, but he had no chance to block the ball!
Others are stupid! !
As soon as I tilted my body, the football flew into the goal! !
The speed of the ball was too fast, almost an afterimage flew by, and the goalkeeper had no chance to make a palm!
"pretty!!"

"Perfect!!"

"So calm and explosive shot!!"

"Goalkeeper Howard is already in place, he didn't react at all!!"

"As expected of the equation, he broke the historical record again!! Became the first Eastern player to score in the FA Cup!!"
