The visiting team's locker room at Anfield was somewhat silent.
It was reasonable to say that an amateur team could make it to the third round of the FA Cup and have a real showdown with the main lineup of the powerhouse Liverpool.
This was already the highest treatment the players could receive.
Many people dreamed of competing with superstars like Gerrard, Torres, and Alonso.
It was just two goals conceded. Stokes Bridge was already very tenacious since they were not completely destroyed in the first half.
They even completed a few counterattacks, making the Liverpool players break out in a cold sweat.
To be able to do this, both the commentator and the audience on and off the field had developed respect for this dark horse of the FA Cup.
On
the famous football forum "WhoScored," there were even Liverpool fans who posted during the halftime interval.
"Shocking! The amateur team they met in the FA Cup was simply amazing!”
"I watched the game too. I thought I could kill the amateur team, but I almost lost the ball.”
"Isn't it 2:0?”
"These two goals were not easy!”
"After the captain scored the goal, I couldn't help but roar. I've never been so excited even watching the Champions League.”
"To be honest, this amateur team is really strong. Their two strikers were of Premier League standard.”
He used an exaggerated tone to boast about Stokes Bridge and Xuan's two shots.
If they were lucky, they might have already conceded the goal.
At this time, the Liverpool fans ran over to reply and unanimously agreed that the FA Cup was still very exciting.
The fans of the other clubs watching could not help but be curious and prepared to turn on the TV to watch the second half.
Not only abroad, but even people in the distant East noticed this FA Cup match.
Ferry Tieba, Liverpool.
"Brothers, did everyone watch today's FA Cup?”
"What's so interesting about playing against an amateur team in the FA Cup? It's too late. We still have to work tomorrow."
"I want to watch it. I can't find the link to the live broadcast. There's only the score.”
"I have a link here. Hurry up, you can still make it to the second half.”
"No, is there a need to be so excited when playing an amateur team?”
"The key is not the amateur team! The key is that the opposing vanguard is us Easterners!”
"What?"
"You must have seen wrongly. Is it someone from the shogunate or the Koreans?”
"No, I can't! He was not mistaken, he was an Easterner! Xuan???Chu! It's obviously one of our own!"
"Wait, this name sounds familiar!”
“!!!! I've discovered it!"
"He…he's Xuan!"
"Who is Xuan?"
At this moment, the poster was stunned. He had never heard of it before.
In fact, many fans who were always focused on the European league and didn't care about domestic football didn't know Xuan.
However, the person just now seemed to be an old fan who had watched the national football team for many years.
"Xuan! Don't you know?"
"The 2005 World Youth Championship, the star of hope on par with Messi!”
"Keep bragging. Then why did he disappear? Messi has become a world superstar.”
"It's true. In the 2000s, Xuan led the national youth team to defeat the German tank. Unfortunately, he was injured later and was banned by the Football Association.”
"I know. When I watched the Chinese Super League, Xuan was the king of Jin De's shooters and won the Golden Boots. He seemed to have stopped playing football after the disbandment of Kinder.”
"Sigh, the Chinese Football Association is a bunch of good-for-nothings…Let'
s not talk about this. Go find resources and watch Xuan compete!"”
"Damn it, I stayed up late today! Watch the match!"
Xuan
didn't know that this ordinary FA Cup match would attract the attention of a portion of the fans in China.
But even if he knew, he wouldn't care. The most important thing was this game.
The Stokes Bridge was already great, but his teammates were not satisfied.
Xuan could see the fire in their eyes. They wanted to win!!!
As the amateur team at the bottom of the football food chain, they actually wanted to beat Liverpool!
Valdi was also full of unwillingness. He sat on the bench in the locker room and clenched his fists tightly.
Xuan was glad that he had met such a group of teammates.
If he only wanted to win, it would be too tiring.
With someone supporting them from behind, everyone had a strong desire to win.
Winning was not impossible!
After
the start of the second half, the Liverpool players thought it would be easier.
Since victory was guaranteed, they did not want to risk their lives too much to avoid affecting the league tournament.
But Stokes Bridge was the complete opposite!
Everyone was like a berserk beast, fighting for any ball without regard for their own safety, gritting their teeth to fight for any opportunity!
Many times in the midfield, Liverpool clearly had the initiative, but they were still put in a sorry state by the opponent.
As a result, both the Stokes Bridge's right back and the right back were yellow cards.
However, they still did not relax. They were still fighting crazily!
This kind of play gradually gave Liverpool some consideration, and Stokes Bridge gradually had a chance!
He even used counterattacks to let Xuan complete a kick at the door! Unfortunately, the ball was confiscated by Pepe Reina.
[Causality Shot (4(5)] was
finally full!
Everything was ready except for the east wind!
In the 55th minute of the game, Liverpool missed a shot and scored a goal at Stokes Bridge.
The Liverpool players were a little tired after a few minutes of fast-paced running, so they walked slowly to recover some strength.
But at this moment, the Stokes Bridge goalkeeper was looking at the situation in front of him. He decisively made a big kick at the fastest speed and swung it towards the front field!
This ball had a very low arc, it was flat and fast!
The Liverpool players weren't prepared when the football flew towards Xuan's head.
