Originally, the Stokes Bridge team members were still looking forward to it.
Would the mainstream media in England focus on this FA Cup match?
They were amateur players, and they would not be able to take advantage of Liverpool's glory and make an appearance in the major media.
In reality, Xuan's teammates were thinking too much.
The media had basically brushed past this match.
"…This weekend will usher in the third round of the FA Cup.
Tottenham Hotspur VS wigan athletic
Chelsea vs Southern Allianz
Manchester City vs Nottingham Forest
Southampton VS Manchester United
Liverpool VS Stokes Bridge…"
"Several Premier League teams are facing the weaker teams and have sent their main lineup to advance to the next round.”
"Liverpool, which is currently tottering at the top of the list, is very concerned about the competition for the FA Cup.”
"Benítez said in the interview that they will send their main lineup to go all out.”
"Their opponent is known as the biggest dark horse of this year's FA Cup. Now, this dark horse is about to face the real test..."
……
Usually, when the Stokes Bridge Steelers went to an away game, they would take the train or other public transportation.
This time was different.
The place they were going to this time was Anfield!
Even if we're an amateur team, we can't lose the game!
So the club owner directly chartered a bus, and the group of people gathered at the training ground and rushed to Liverpool in a mighty manner.
Liverpool was the second largest commercial center in England and a city full of culture.
It was from here that the beatles went global and became one of the representatives of pop culture.
Along the way, only Xuan was looking out the window, admiring the beautiful scenery of the English countryside. His teammates were all sleeping soundly.
After the bus drove into Liverpool, these guys suddenly woke up and looked at the streets of the city, shouting as if they had never seen the city before.
Xuan couldn't help but laugh. You guys were more like foreigners than me.
In the past, when he went to play away games, he would basically go and return the same day.
This time, they came to Liverpool a day early.
The boss even specially booked rooms for the players in a high-class five-star hotel.
Even the coaching staff and the boss went to the hotel chain next door.
It could be seen that the boss really took good care of the players. He hoped that they would rest well and recharge for tomorrow's game.
When the time came, BBC, Sky Sports, and other television stations would broadcast it, and they would also make their first appearance in front of the entire British people.
If he played badly, Stokes Bridge would probably never have such an opportunity again.
Everyone was working hard and would definitely perform the most perfect performance tomorrow!
At night, the buffet at the five-star hotel was very sumptuous.
This group of country bumpkins who had never seen the market stuffed their plates with lobsters and seafood.
Fortunately, Captain Thorne came out to stop them in the end.
"There's still a competition tomorrow. Be careful not to eat something bad and not be able to play!”
At the mention of the competition, they finally restrained themselves a lot.
He even dared to take some safe cooked food, afraid that he would miss this rare opportunity.
They knew their own limits, different from talented youths like Xuan and Waldi.
For many amateur players, this might be the only time they would play against Liverpool in their lives.
At Anfield!
Liverpool's main lineup!
Therefore, this ordinary third round of the FA Cup was their FA Cup final! It was their Champions League final!
……
"Chu, are you sleepy?"
Lying in bed at night, Vardy had insomnia. He hugged his arms and stared blankly at the ceiling.
In order to cultivate the tacit understanding of the forward combination, they were also arranged to be roommates.
Xuan had seen many things, so he didn't have insomnia. He almost fell asleep.
He did not expect to be woken up by Vardy.
"If you can't sleep, you're counting sheep with your eyes closed. I almost fell asleep just now.”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Go to sleep. I won't disturb you anymore."
Vardy was also a little embarrassed.
After all, if the team wanted to perform well, they really needed to see Xuan's condition.
If he did not rest well, he would be a sinner.
"Are you nervous? What's there to be nervous about?"
Xuan had lost his sleepiness anyway, so he might as well chat for 50 cents.
Valdi chuckled." I've dreamed countless times before that I would one day play against Liverpool in the Premier League.”
"But I know that playing Liverpool tomorrow may be the only chance in my life.”
Since 2002, he had been playing football everywhere until he was 21 years old. Valdi felt more and more desperate.
Generally speaking, anyone under the age of 18 who had a certain amount of talent would be able to work for the various echelons.
Those geniuses among geniuses were even 16 years old and had already become the main force of the powerhouses.
Valdi was 21 years old. If no professional team wanted him, he might not have the life of a professional player.
Valdi even planned to wait until next year to find a stable job and work full-time.
Completely giving up on his dream of being a professional footballer…
He was emo when Xuan interrupted him.
"You know? What do you know?"
Xuan sat up and stared at Vardy in disdain.
Because through the prophetic illusion, he could not help but see Valdi's emotional life, as well as his career development.
This guy could actually kill all the big clubs in the Premier League!
This guy could actually be selected for England's Three Lions!
"Never doubt your own ability! There was no hope at the moment, but it did not mean that there was no hope in the future!”
"I just want to ask you, are you happy playing football? For the goal of becoming the champion, are you willing to work so hard?”
Valdi was stunned by Xuan's question, then nodded firmly.
"I'm willing. For the sake of playing football and winning the championship, what's the big deal in putting in a little effort?”
"Then it's over. You already have this awareness, and with confidence, you can be invincible in the Premier League. You can even be selected for the Three Lions!”
"Really?"
In the darkness of the room, Valdi's eyes lit up.
"Of course. I am a prophet." Xuan pretended to be mysterious.
Waldy was shocked and nodded firmly.
In their eyes, Easterners were all very mysterious and possessed some magical abilities such as kung fu.
Since Xuan said so, he was the future vanguard of the Three Lions Legion!
Xuan smiled. Although he couldn't see his future, he wouldn't be lost after his rebirth.
Liverpool, you must show the same momentum as you did in the 2005 final!
Otherwise…
You might lose!
