They defeated Eastwood FC 3:0 in the FA Cup, and Stokes Steel also successfully made it into the next round.
This incident also caused a sensation in the English Northern League.
When the other teams met the English Premier League team, they were basically wiped out.
The level suppression of the league did exist, and it was not that easy to win.
However, this level of suppression seemed to have no effect on the steel body of the bridge.
They actually won, and it was a crushing 3:0!
From the scene, Eastwood FC did have the strength. At one point, they had the absolute initiative and completely suppressed the opponent.
But ever since the Stokes Bridge counter-attack goal, the situation had taken a turn for the worse!
At that time, Eastwood's FC line pressed forward, and Stokes Bridge intercepted the ball in the backfield and directly passed it long.
Valdi took advantage of his speed to drive straight in with the ball, but he was also gradually forced to the sidelines by the opposing defenders.
However, Vardy was not fighting alone!
He also had a forward partner!
Xuan rushed over from behind and received a pass from Valdi in the penalty area, sweeping into the net!
With a one-goal advantage, Stokes Bridge continued to play defensive counterattack.
Then, Xuan returned the favor by giving an assist to Waldi, and in the 72nd minute, he used the corner kick to ambush outside the penalty area and suddenly shot a cold arrow!
A world-class wave that ended the match in a blind spot!
Of course, even if the game was exciting, it did not cause any sensation in the FA Cup.
To put it bluntly, it was just low-level noobs pecking at each other.
It was not clear whether the other teams were paying attention, but Stokes Bridge's next opponent in the FA Cup did not pay attention to the game.
After the qualifiers, Stokes Bridge had entered the FA Cup qualifiers.
According to the rules of the FA Cup, there was only one game in each round before the semi-finals.
Only after the two teams tied would there be a play-off.
Therefore, this place was full of unexpected surprises, and the weak often won against the strong.
As a result, the composition of the teams that broke into the FA Cup qualifiers was also a mess.
There were even amateur teams in the ninth level.
With Xuan and the others 'outstanding performance, if they encountered a level 9 amateur team, they would basically be able to enter the next round.
However, their opponent was the fifth-tier semi-professional league, the strongest team in the British Parliament, Torquay United!
For the Torquay United manager, this was considered a good draw.
They were almost already considering using the FA Cup to train their players and give the substitutes some chances. The main force would be placed in the league to maintain the title.
Level 8 amateur team? It was enough to send a substitute!
On the contrary, the morale of Stokes 'members was a little low.
They thought that they would be able to pinch the weak persimmons in the first few rounds and then encounter strong enemies in the later rounds.
He did not expect to meet the strongest opponent he could meet at this stage!
Faced with this situation, the speech that Steve Adams had stayed up all night to write finally came in handy!
"Where did you guys go from a while ago? What's your goal?
It had only been a few days, and he had already forgotten his goal?
What was his goal? The target was those damn Premier League teams!
Our opponents are the wealthy families!
Why did he want to fight until the third round? He still wanted to arm wrestle with the Premier League team!
Try to pull them down?
If they were really scared of a fifth-tier team like this, they might as well not think about any goals.
In any case, even if you were to face a Premier League team, you would not even have the courage to fight and surrender.
Rather than surrendering then, it would be better to surrender now!”
Steve Adams 'words enlightened everyone.
Indeed, Torquay United was very strong. They were almost half a step into League Two and had become a professional team.
It was equivalent to a cultivator in the Qi Refinement stage challenging a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator in a fantasy novel.
The strength of the second substitute team could completely crush them.
Everyone felt the urge to retreat in the face of such a huge gap.
But thinking about it carefully, football was not a fantasy novel. Anything could happen on the field.
Even if the opponent was close to the professional level, it was still 11 players playing.
There was still a slight chance of defeating the opponent!
As long as there was a chance, Xuan and Waldi would grab it!
... In
the southwest of England, in the small town of Torquay in Devon.
This was a famous seaside resort town nearby.
In the past, tourists came from all over the world.
And on this day of the FA Cup match, the town was filled with enthusiastic fans!
In the FA Cup qualifiers, the match between Stokes Bridge, a Tier 8 team, and Torquay United, a Tier 5 team, had begun!
There was still no television broadcast of the game. Only the FA Cup reporters reported on the sidelines.
The game was held at the home stadium of Torquay United, Planmore Stadium, which could accommodate 6500 spectators.
Because the town was near the sea, Torquay-United's nickname was Seagull.
Therefore, the stands were filled with pictures and slogans related to seagulls. It was very imposing!
The Stokes Bridge team in the away game felt an unprecedented pressure!
For Valdi and the others, this stadium was already very big!
This was the first time he faced so many people!
It was inevitable that he would be nervous and unable to concentrate.
If the goalkeeper had not played well, Stokes Bridge might have conceded the goal.
Xuan was different from them. He was a player who had seen big scenes.
Whether it was the Chinese Super League or the World Youth Championship.
He was always faced with cheers from tens of thousands of people, or boos and curses from tens of thousands of people!
Tsk, only 6500 people.
Small scene!
