Although they did not defeat Liverpool in the end.
But everyone agreed that Stokes Bridge was the absolute winner.
If it wasn't for Insuya's cheap tackle, Xuan would have scored his first shot.
Liverpool was really shameless.
Even when Xuan and the others set off from the hotel and prepared to take the bus back to Sheffield, a large number of fans came to the hotel floor to cheer for them.
In addition to some fanatical fans of their own team, even Everton and Manchester United fans came to join in the fun.
"Well done!"
" You are the victors!!"
"Chu! Awesome!"
"Xuan, I love you!"
The Stokes Bridge players never thought that they would one day receive so many cheers.
Although most of it was for Xuan…
They had also benefited from it.
The FA Cup semi-final in the past was like a dream, making people unable to believe that it was real.
On the way to Liverpool, the players were either sleeping or staring into space nervously.
On the way back to Sheffield, everyone started the singing competition in the car.
It was unknown who started it, but one song after another.
The entire carriage was filled with a joyous atmosphere.
When he returned to the training ground a few hours later, the fans in the community had already been waiting there!
Thousands of people held up banners to celebrate the triumphant return of the soldiers at Stokes Bridge!
Was there anything more impressive than an away draw with Liverpool's main lineup?
Such a record was already the most glorious one since the establishment of the team!
The fans were even more excited than winning the English League One!
After signing autographs and taking photos with the fans for a long time, the team disbanded.
The players still had to go home and accept the worship of their relatives and friends.
However, amidst the joy, there was also some regretful news.
The core of the team's midfield, captain Jip Thorne, had a muscle strain and needed to recuperate for two months.
He would not be able to play in the next play-off against Liverpool.
Without the captain, the team also lost its most important barrier and commander.
When Xuan and Waldy went to the hospital to visit, Thorne even blamed himself. He was in a low mood in his wheelchair.
"I'm sorry, Chu. I'm sorry, Jimmy."
"If I can play, I might be able to win against Liverpool.”
"Captain, just rest well. We've already completed the impossible. Everyone's content."”
"Yes, I am!" "Captain, your health is more important.”
At this time, Thorne looked at the two of them seriously and said,"
"Oh right, I know that the two of you haven't given up hope. To be honest, with your performance, you will definitely attract the attention of the scouts!”
"Don't hesitate when there's a good opportunity! You must firmly grasp it!"
"Believe me, the higher you climb in the future, the happier we old men will be!”
"I really hope you can go to teams like Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Barcelona and announce it to the world.”
"Back then, we played in an amateur league in England. This club was called Stokes Bridge Park Steel Mill!”
……
As expected, Stokes Bridge lost to Liverpool in the FA Cup play-off.
The score was 1:4. Xuan scored the only goal on home ground.
Almost the entire Sheffield City came to see the Liverpool superstar, and the small stadium was somewhat overwhelmed.
Even if Liverpool won, there was no joy.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry after the game, as if they were dealing with an errand.
Recently, they had been criticized by the media, and the entire team was a little lax.
Manchester United also took advantage of the instability of the opponent's league to overtake them in one fell swoop and return to the top of the rankings.
Of course, after the match, Torres still went to Xuan with a smile.
"Chu, can I exchange jerseys with you?”
Torres scored another two goals in the game and four goals in two games.
But he still believed that Xuan's performance in these two FA Cup matches was better than his.
This Easterner had already won his highest respect!
"Thank you, Fernando." Xuan smiled awkwardly. Unfortunately, I only have this jersey…"
The amateur team couldn't do anything about it. They were too poor.
Torres nodded and took off his jersey, handing it to Xuan.
"Then I'll give you mine. I hope you don't mind.”
"No, no, thank you."
"Good luck, Chu. I hope to see you in the Premier League and the Champions League.”
After saying that, the golden-haired and handsome Torres was about to turn around and leave under the infatuated gazes of the female fans.
"Torres 'off-field jersey. Wouldn't it be a sky-high price to auction it off?"”
Of course, Xuan was just thinking about it and didn't have such plans.
He also admired Torres, but unfortunately, he…
Thinking of this, Xuan quickly stopped him."Hey! Fernando! Wait!"
Torres stopped and looked at him in surprise.
Xuan came in front of him and stared at Torres seriously.
"Remember, if you're injured, go and get treatment! Don't drag it out!"
"No matter how much the team needs you, you don't have to work for them!”
"You still have to play in the World Cup with a healthy body. You still have many years of your career!”
"Pay attention, don't lose your form due to injuries!”
Torres felt strange and surprised at Xuan's stern warning.
Normal people wouldn't be like Xuan, saying so many serious words before they even interacted.
But he could feel Xuan's true feelings.
It was as if his career would really decline.
Torres smiled helplessly." You know, I will naturally try my best to play every game.”
"But what you said makes sense. I will pay attention to any injuries.”
"Thank you, Chu."
"You said it. We'll have to fight on the field in the future." It's meaningless if you fall early."
"Alright, it's a deal! I'll wait for you in the Champions League!"
After Torres left, he looked at his back.
Xuan seemed to have seen some images flash by, but he didn't grasp it.
Perhaps Torres 'plot had changed?
