Soccer Card System

　　 Chapter Eighty-First Opponents

　　 "This is not unpopular!!!"

　　 In the newspaper the next day, Gao Bo’s sentence became the headline of many newspapers.

　　 Although the title is "This is not an upset", many media still call this game the biggest upset in the FA Cup in recent years in the body volume!

The story of small teams defeating big teams is not uncommon in the FA Cup, but it is like Luton swept Manchester City with a score of 4 to zero, and the Premier League teams could not find the Premier League teams in the second division. It is quite rare indeed.

"...To a certain extent, this is really not an upset, because with Luton's strength, Manchester City is almost completely targeted by them! Although Manchester City has an advantage in possession, but in other key statistics In terms of the number of shots, the number of shots within the range of the goal frame, the number of attacks within 30 meters, the distance running, the interception, etc., Luton has an advantage over Manchester City. What's more, in terms of score, The score of four to zero tells everything..."

　　 Team News put this game on the front page of the sports edition. In fact, in England, this game caused a shock throughout England.

"I didn't expect Manchester City to lose so badly. Coach Gao Bo's team accomplished an incredible thing. In fact, I even think they have the hope of winning the FA Cup!!" Manchester United coach Ferguson faced the media. In the scenes of schadenfreude, after all, it is their city rivals Manchester City that are unlucky, and Manchester United has also been out of the FA Cup, anyway, watching the excitement is not too big a problem.

Another veteran Premier League coach Wenger also expressed his amazement at the game: "I think we definitely don’t want to meet Luton. This is a phenomenal team in the English League this season and can be built in the second division. Coach Gao Bo has done a very good job with such a highly effective team!"

　　 Arsenal also reached the quarterfinals, but the FA Cup draw will not begin until the fifth round is over.

Lineker spent almost half an hour introducing the Luton team in his BBC show "Game of the Day": "I think now that no one can ignore this continuous team. Eliminated Chelsea and Manchester City's second division teams! In the FA Cup quarter-finals, let's see which opponent Luton will draw, and how far they will go in the FA Cup this season? We will wait and see!"

　　 On the night after the broadcast of "Game of the Day", all the fifth round of the FA Cup was over.

　　 There was no tie in the eight games in this round, but it was relatively rare in the FA Cup, but this also gave rise to all the quarter-finals.

　　 In addition to Luton, there are seven teams including Coventry, Fulham, Middlesbrough, Hull City, Everton, Liverpool and Arsenal that have reached the quarterfinals.

　　 Luton is the lowest league level among the top eight teams. In addition, the strength of the English championship team Coventry is relatively weak, and the remaining six teams all come from the Premier League.

　　Although the FA Cup is a hotbed of unpopularity, most of the teams that can reach the final stage of the competition are also Premier League teams. On the football field, there may be upsets in a game, but if the strength is not enough, it is basically impossible to upset the game.

　　 After the end of the day’s training, in Gao Bo’s office, all the members of his coaching staff watched the eight-final draw in his office!

　　 Gao Bo was a little excited, and it was really a surprise to be able to reach the FA Cup quarterfinals. Because before the start of this season, the whole team was pressed by a thirty-point penalty, the pressure on the league was already great enough.

　　 But now the FA Cup has entered the quarterfinals. In theory, as long as you win three more games, you can win the FA Cup!

For Gao Bo, it is absolutely necessary to fight for it-apart from anything else, just winning the FA Cup, the card system will definitely have rewards beyond imagination, and winning the cup also means that Luton Next season will get a place in the European Championship-the FA Cup winner will have a UEFA Cup qualification!

　　 If the upgrade goes well this season, Gao Bo will lead the first division team to the Europa League next season!

　　 The thought of such a challenge made Gao Bo tremble with excitement.

　　John Aston is not as optimistic as Kobo, of course, it would be best to win the FA Cup.

　　 "I hope the quarterfinals can get a good lottery..."

　　The team even missed Chelsea and Manchester City, but there are also Arsenal and Liverpool in the quarter-finals. Against these two teams, John doesn't have a good heart.

　　 "I hope we can get Coventry!!" Lin Sen said with some hope. Coventry is the weakest among the top eight except Luton.

　　 At this time, the lottery has already begun, and the first draw is Coventry.

　　 Everyone in the coaching staff looked at Lin Sen, even Lin Sen was stunned, wouldn’t it be a coincidence?

　　 But the truth is just such a coincidence...

　　 After the guests drawn the Coventry opponents, Luton's coaching staff exclaimed.

　　 "Luton..."

　　Coventry’s opponent is...Luton! !

　　 There was cheers in the office, and John Aston wanted to give Lin Sen a few kisses~www.ltnovel.com~ scared the young man back again and again.

　　 "Did you use any witchcraft, Lin?!"

　　 Mel Donald is also full of excitement.

Although it looks a little arrogant, for Luton, Luton, who is still in the second division, seems to have no fear of opponents in the Champions League-they have beaten many times in the FA Cup and League Cup. This level of opponents, and even Chelsea and Manchester City were beheaded by Luton, Coventry's strength is naturally much weaker than the above two teams.

　　 Kobo is also very happy, after all, it is better to draw Coventry than Arsenal or Liverpool.

　　 "Okay!! Now our goal is to beat Coventry!! To reach the semi-finals!!!"

　　 Gao Bo announced excitedly before all the draws were drawn.

　　 In other matches, Liverpool drew Fulham, and Everton faced Middlesbrough on the main scene, and the remaining group of confrontations was Arsenal playing Hull City.

　　 After the draw, the draw on the BBC live broadcast did not end immediately. Instead, several guests predicted the seats of the FA Cup semi-finals.

　　 "I think the semi-finals will be Arsenal, Liverpool, Everton, and Luton!" said a guest.

In fact, he doesn’t know how he thinks so, even Lineker thinks so: “I think it’s difficult for Coventry to compete with Luton, even though their league level is two levels higher than Luton, but look Luton's state, they are indeed the crocodiles in the second division. If they have not been deducted 30 points this season, they can definitely set a record for winning the second division!"

　　In the history of the FA Cup, there has never been a time when a low-level league team is so optimistic...
