Chapter 105 Pull them down!
3 month 7 day.

FA Cup sixth round.

According to the FA practice, when a low-level league team is drawn together with a high-level team, the match venue will generally be arranged at the former's home court, and the high-level team will also give up ticket revenue tacitly, so as to Support the development of lower level teams.

Therefore, today's King's Grass Stadium once again ushered in a full game day.

This was their first official game after winning the League Cup. The audience in the stands was packed like sardines, and the standing area was so crowded that it was almost impossible to breathe.

Due to the lack of security forces, the club had to contact the fan association and organized dozens of volunteers to maintain order and prevent crowding and stampede accidents.

Fortunately, the small town of Wimbledon is too small. Most of the fans don't look up and look down. They are not only polite but also warm to each other.

Before the start of the game, as the team captain, Barry Fuller held up the championship trophy engraved with the team's name, and led the team's players around the field for three weeks, directly bringing the atmosphere of the stadium to its peak.

In the enthusiastic anticipation of the fans, the Kuangbang players did not let this game be a surprise, defeated their opponents with a 2:0, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

In the other three games, Aston Villa also defeated West Bromwich Albion 2:0, and Bradford shook hands with Blackburn 0:0, and could only play another game a week later. Playoffs.

As this round of so-called strong dialogue between Manchester United and Arsenal, it is a bit disappointing.

In addition to the injured Van Persie, both sides are the main players.

Van Gaal sent Rooney, Di Maria, Fellaini, and Herrera, and Falcao, Mata, and Januzaj were still sitting on the bench.

Wenger is also right here, the number one thigh Sanchez continues to be hot, "Little Tiger" Walcott is still at his peak, Welbeck bought from Manchester United is even more positive, coupled with Ramsey, who is always on call, Chamberlain, Giroud, the two sides played very stalemate for a time.

Obviously there are so many star-level attackers, but it was Arsenal's defender Monreal who opened the record. After Rooney equalized the score, Welbeck, not to be outdone, stabbed his old club's chest with a backhand, rewriting the score as 1:2.

Van Gaal made personnel adjustments during the intermission, but still did not rewrite the final result, he could only lose with hatred.

Van Gaal spent a lot of money in the transfer window, but his Manchester United failed to usher in a turning point. At the beginning of the season, he was bloodbathed by Wimbledon in the League Cup. Now the FA Cup has also stopped in the quarter-finals. All competitions have lost the championship. Possibly, almost a complete failure.

Red Devils fans have started various activities to remember the former coach:

"Moyes, the eternal injustice!"

Some experts even put the iron pot on the head of Kuangbang:

"The bloodbath of Wimbledon in the second round of the League Cup is the culprit that caused Manchester United to lose all four players throughout the season!"
-
Three days later, on March 3, Wimbledon played a 10th-round make-up match in midweek.

Their opponent is the 12th-ranked Morecambe, who is a mid-range bastard who has no hope of promotion and no worries about relegation. After 90 minutes, he did not pose a decent threat to the mad gang. He politely offered a three-pointer with both hands on, and send off the Wimbledon team.

Facing such a polite opponent, Adrey and his disciples couldn't bear to go on a killing spree, so they just let the veterans Akinfenwa, Fuller, Smith, and Phillips rotate, and Aziz, Li Young people such as Weiss, Suteran, Olasja, and Sweeney were sent on the field to give a sense of presence.

In the original rotation, Li Polo would also get a rest, but today Adrey still let him start, until he received Sweeney's header in the 73rd minute and scored a supplementary shot, and was replaced by Goodman down.

After the game, the good man Cox privately revealed the head coach's intentions:
"Since you are destined to leave in the summer, the club certainly hopes that you can sell for a better price."

In other words, Adre hopes that Li Polo will increase his transfer value and bring greater benefits to the club through more appearances and better statistics!
At this time, whether the player's body will be overdrawn and whether it will affect the next season... It seems that it is not that important to the club.

——For example, many people like to mention in the example that Kaka was overdrawn too much during the AC Milan period, so that injuries broke out during the Real Madrid period and fell quickly.
-
On March 3, the league ushered in the 14th round.

Wimbledon played consecutive away games, this time against Exeter City in southwest England.

Although the ranking of Exeter City is one place lower than that of Morecambe, they are obviously more sportsmanlike than the polite Morecambe.

Adrey did not expect that his team would encounter such a fierce resistance, and the offensive 433 lineup he formed soon exposed the problem of insufficient defense.

After a week's rest, Akinfenwa opened the scoring in the 4th minute, but the aged Boorman made a mistake 20 minutes later. His reckless foul received a red card for himself and gave the opponent a Precious penalty...

Xie A is still recovering from his injury, and Wallner failed to prevent his opponent from equalizing the score.

Wimbledon, lacking one player on the field, had to shrink their formation, but the opponent scored two consecutive games in the second half, and the score once became 3:1!

At the critical moment, Li Poluo had to step forward.

In the 71st minute, he successfully created an "accident", causing the opponent's striker to suffer a slight injury.

Due to the fact that the home team had too much advantage, they did not make substitutions immediately. They just let the striker leave the field temporarily and received treatment on the sidelines. There were only 10 players on the field for both sides.

In this short period of 1 minute, Li Boluo seized the opportunity again and successfully copied the wonderful scene of "clearing from the restricted area, running long distances, and header from the opponent's restricted area", narrowing the point difference to one goal.

And 6 minutes later, he took advantage of another corner kick and forced the opposing defender to score an own goal!

Even in stoppage time, he still had hope of creating a lore, but Li Boluo's physical fitness finally turned red after playing three games in a row in seven days. Especially in this game, in order to find counterattack opportunities, He performed long-distance high-speed sprints many times, and even had some cramps in his legs.

The score of 3:3 was maintained until the end, and Wimbledon could only accept the draw.

However, due to the 3 points gained in the previous make-up match, their lead in the standings is still as high as 13 points. Chasers such as Burleigh, Shrewsbury, and Wycombe Wanderers behind can only see madness. Help the taillights.

There are still 10 rounds in the league, and the lead is 13 points, which does not seem to be stable.

But... If you consider that Wimbledon still has three make-up matches that have not been played, this makes those competitors a little desperate!

One of Wimbledon's hands has embraced the league championship trophy! -
After playing this round of the league, the results of the draw for the FA Cup semi-finals were also announced.

In the play-off game of "pecking each other", Bradford went through overtime and penalty shootouts, eliminated Blackburn with difficulty, and got the last ticket to the semi-finals.

And then...they met Wimbledon!
Seeing this result, the Kuangbang Marshal Adele is even more ambitious:

"The script has been written, and we will see you in the final!"

"Whether it's Aston Villa or Arsenal, we are determined to bring them down!"

"Even if they were a Premier League team, would they be as good as Chelsea?"

Mourinho, who was recovering from his injuries in London, suddenly burst open!
After the loss on March 3, Chelsea also faced a dangerous dilemma.

In the League Cup, they missed the championship.

In the FA Cup, they were eliminated in the fourth round, and their opponent at the time... was Bradford.

And in the UEFA Champions League, which Mourinho values ​​most, they were also unlucky. They encountered a hard stubble in the first round of the knockout round-the Ligue [-] overlord Paris Saint-Germain.

With Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Lavezzi, Verratti, Marquinhos, David Luiz, David Silva and other first-line stars, Paris is completely worthy of Chelsea. The two sides fought 3 in two rounds: 3 draws, but Paris has a thrilling pass with the advantage of away goals!

Therefore, Mourinho now only has the Premier League champion to count on.

But it happened that history took a turning point in this place:
Since Hazard was kicked and injured by Fuller in the League Cup final, Chelsea, which lacked core players, was then drawn strongly by the "Hammers" West Ham United. The original 5-point lead was only 3 points, followed by After that, Manchester City immediately smelled the opportunity.

In the week of Wimbledon's 3:3 draw, Chelsea also failed to win, and they were cornered by the "Saints" Southampton. Although Costa scored the first goal, the Saints winger Mane Breaking into the penalty area to create a penalty kick, the two sides can only shake hands and make peace.

It is a pity that Manchester City did not seize the opportunity and was defeated by the relegation team Burnley 1-0. Not only did they fail to narrow the point difference, but they allowed Chelsea to expand their lead to 4 points...

Football is such a teaser.
