Since joining the Stokes Bridge Park Steel Team, Chu Xuan felt that he had become fulfilled again.

In the past, when there was no ball in the country, he was depressed.

Either stay at home and play games, or wander the streets.

Sometimes before you know it, you will walk to a nearby stadium and stand on the sidelines and watch others play.

One stop is an afternoon, after others disperse, Chu Xuan also silently walked home, and then went to the bar to work in the evening.

When there is an amateur competition, Chu Xuan will be more energetic.

Get ready early and head to the pitch.

Even if you kick in the vegetable field with a bunch of fishy guys.

At least at the moment on the court, Chu Xuan felt that he was still alive.

And now Chu Xuan feels that he is full of energy at any time.

He is really glad that joining this amateur team is simply the most correct decision he has ever made!

Training with these teammates here, playing together, he regained his former happiness.

Most importantly, he has a very clear goal.

Go down on the FA Cup! Face off against Premier League giants!

In the first round of FA Cup qualifying, Stokes Bridge beat Cambridge United in the fifth division 4-1 at home.

They can be called the strongest dark horses in the 2008-2009 FA Cup!

From the qualifiers, qualifiers, and now to the main stage, they have slashed strong opponents and upset continuously!

Now it’s the end of November, and Stokes Bridge’s next rival has been freshly released!

……

Stokes Bridge Training Ground.

Steve Adams stood in front of the queue with a serious face.

“You all know who we will be against in the next round of the FA Cup.”

“Know!”

“Have faith? This test is even tougher than the previous ones! ”

“Have faith!”

“Louder, I can’t hear!”

“Have faith!”

“F**k-yeah!!!”

“Dry them up!!!”

Looking at the crowd of enthusiastic players, Steve Adams nodded.

“Good! Very spiritual! ”

With consecutive victories, everyone is now very cohesive and has initially gained the momentum of a professional team.

Only by fighting like an army can you defeat a stronger enemy!

A week later, they will face the city’s strongest team, Sheffield City Face Club.

Sheffield United!

Steve Adams believes this is their biggest test on the way to the third round.

The following soldiers seem to be ready!

……

Speaking of Sheffield United, domestic fans may not be too unfamiliar.

The club is one of the founding members of the FA and was founded in 1889.

They have won the top flight for decades and have also won the FA Cup four times.

As for the Second Division championships, there are countless more.

The Premier League was established in 1992 and Sheffield United was a participating member.

In 2006, Sheffield United finished second in the Championship and once again made a successful victory.

In the same year, Sheffield United even sponsored Tianfu Rongcheng Wuniu Football Club and changed its name to Rongcheng Sheffield United.

Unfortunately, after one season, they were relegated to the Championship.

This time Sheffield United were a bit injured and relegated all the way to the lower leagues.

It wasn’t until 10 years later in the 2018/19 season that Sheffield United finally returned to the Premier League.

In the eyes of most Premier League fans, Sheffield United is just a trivial “lift” that any team can press them to the ground and rub.

But over the years, the Championship, no matter how weak, is also a giant compared to Stokes Bridge.

Sheffield City media were also excited about this FA Cup civil war and began to promote the “Sheffield City Derby”.

However, most citizens do not recognize this title.

Generally, derbies are hot, or evenly matched, or have historical grievances.

Manchester United v Liverpool is a derby, Dortmund v Schalke 04 is a derby, AC Milan vs Inter Milan is a derby, Real Madrid v Barcelona is a derby….

Even if Sheffield is a city derby, it should be Sheffield United vs Sheffield Wednesday.

Sheffield United v Stokes Bridge?

What kind of derby is this?

Whether others recognize this derby or not, Sheffield United manager Blackwell didn’t care about the FA Cup at all.

With the Championship in the 08/09 season so far, Sheffield United are temporarily at the top of the table.

Only the top two teams can make the cut, and the 3rd to 6th places need to play the play-offs.

And the Wolves and Birmingham teams behind Sheffield United are biting tightly, and Sheffield United must rivete all their strength to stabilize the top position.

No matter how bad it is, it has to be in the top two.

Moreover, in the following period, the Sheffield league schedule is intensive, and they really can’t spare their hands to take care of the FA Cup.

Blackwell has already made a decision within the team.

“Our focus is still on the league, so next FA Cup, I will consider players from the reserve team and the youth team.

You guys focus on the league and try to beat Wolves head-to-head in the next game! ”

Sheffield United’s players have no problem and they don’t care about the FA Cup.

Everyone’s goal is the Premier League!

Only if they succeed in the rush can they get bigger contracts and go to stronger teams.

Among the many players, Welsh Gary Speed quietly poked an oriental player next to him with his elbow.

“Sun, it is said that this FA Cup has an Oriental on the other side.”

“Huh? Is it? I don’t know yet. ”

As the two were talking, the manager had announced the FA Cup starting list in advance, naming the oriental player.

“…… Right wingback, Sun Jihai, you start! ”
