I'm a CEO in the Premier League [football]

The momentum, achieved the final victory, and won the Premier League Golden Boot this season.However, the gap is too small, and Gerrard should have not yet finally determined who will become England's main center forward in this year's World Cup.The camera is now on the stands, and we can see that Gerrard also came to the game scene. There are many people in this game. Players may stop kicking, and no one wants to be injured at this time. "The commentator Zhan Jun is introducing the situation on the field to the audience.

"qpr got the right to serve first. We know that Kroos paid tribute to his mentor with pass control tactics in the first game after taking office. Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola, who is sitting on the other side today, does not know that this game We are looking forward to what kind of collision the master and apprentice will have."

"Kroos is not planning to control the ball with Guardiola today." The special guest Zhang Lu came to a conclusion after watching it for 10 minutes, "Now it shows that qpr's possession ratio is 40%, which is lower than that of Manchester City. We can also see the situation on the field, qpr's formation is a little bit deeper."

Under Guardiola's transformation, Manchester City has already played the pass control to the extreme. In many Premier League games, their possession even accounted for 70% - 80%. Therefore, Kroos did not plan to head-to-head with them when preparing tactics. , to seize possession of the ball.

He used the 7 games he coached after taking office to declare that he is a thorough pragmatist. Compared with Guardiola's "paranoia" for pass control tactics, he is more like his other mentor Zidane. Practicality is the main priority. If the opponent is suitable for passing and controlling, then he will pass and control. If the opponent is more suitable for countering with defense, then qpr will resolutely carry out defensive counterattacks in that game... There is no formula, as long as you can win.

The players on the field have faced Manchester City for the third time, and they know their opponents well, so they played very patiently on the field. After killing Manchester City's two wing attacks, they would even let the opponent play from the center. Attacking, strangling them before they get into the box.

Although Manchester City's ball possession rate has been rising, they have not organized several effective offenses.

In the words of Guardiola's old opponent and the current Portuguese coach Mourinho, this kind of ball belongs to "invalid ball possession".

But qpr is not in a hurry, Manchester City is not in a hurry, they can pass 20-30 balls outside, this is their rhythm, but if the defense line of the opponent relaxes because of this, they will suddenly speed up, penetrate quickly, and kill with one shot Life.

Therefore, outsiders watched the two teams play slowly on the court, but in fact, everyone was fully committed to the game.

"At the 35th minute of the game, Manchester City took a long shot from outside the penalty area. Vincent hit the ball too squarely and was confiscated by the goalkeeper. Newt drove the ball directly into the frontcourt of Manchester City with a big kick, and Lorenf won the ball. , turned his back, ran, he was close to the goalkeeper, one-on-one, did not choose to hit the goal, passed the goalkeeper, faced the empty goal, pushed and shot, very calm, the ball scored!"

After the two sides tried each other slowly at the beginning, they suddenly began to show their bayonets.

1:0, qpr took the lead to win the game.

In the stands was not only Qi Yue, but also Mansur, the big boss of Manchester City.The two sat together, no matter what kind of views they had on the situation on the court, they maintained their proper demeanor on the surface.

Qi Yue suffered from sitting next to him, and after the team scored a goal, she could only clenched her fists and restrained herself from celebrating.

Mansour congratulated Qi Yue in a low voice when his own goal was shot through: "It's a good goal."

I don't know who is more depressed between the two at this moment.

"It's 60 minutes into the second half and the score is still 1-0, with qpr leading by one goal. Pep Guardiola asked for a substitution, bringing in Brazilian center forward Gabriel and replacing Vincent. We can indeed see that Vincent Te was completely restricted by qpr today, with nothing to do on the offensive and defensive ends, and it is expected that Guardiola will make adjustments."

Vincent walked down the field with his head down. After high-fiving Gabriel and Guardiola, he huddled and sat on the bench. When the camera showed him several times, he didn't show any expression.

It was because of Gabriel's injury before that Manchester City spent their energy to poach Vincent away. Since then, he has been very competitive. With his excellent performance, Gabriel has been pressed by him on the bench after the injury.

But the third-line battle was too exhausting. He had never experienced such a high-intensity game before, so his physical fitness began to lose, which inevitably affected his state on the field. One of the reasons why Husband missed the Golden Boot after three goals, he even fell into a scoring drought for a time.

As a result, Gabriel began to have the opportunity to play, and today's game is still the same. Vincent missed two excellent opportunities just like losing his shooting boots.

In this regard, Guardiola's choice is a substitution.

Gabriel wanted to get back his main position, so he worked very hard on the field. Although he was a forward, he also actively participated in defense, and his running coverage was very large.In particular, he has good physical fitness. When qpr lost the defense general Wilson, he can continue to attack this line of defense, which caused a lot of trouble for qpr.

"Gabri, the ball is at his feet again. The qpr players quickly surrounded him. Gabriel wanted to take the ball, but he chose to hit the goal directly! The ball went in, a world wave! It was a wonderful goal." Gabriel was scoring After that, he frantically kissed the team badge on his chest, ran to the sidelines and punched vigorously, venting the pressure of his delay in playing this season.

1:1, Manchester City quickly received results after Guardiola's adjustment.

Although the qpr players were disappointed, they quickly lifted their spirits. They were facing Manchester City. It is not unacceptable to be scored by the opponent. They still have a chance, and now they are just back to the common starting line.

However, to the disappointment of both sides, in the next game, although they tried each other, they ended up with nothing.

"Regular time is over and we are about to enter overtime."

Previously, the rules of the FA Cup have always been a tie or an extra game, but as the team played more and more games, this is undoubtedly a burden. Therefore, after the efforts of various clubs, the rules were finally changed. Among them, the competition system will be the same as most of the current competitions. After a tie, the winner will be determined through overtime and penalty kicks.

76. ​​No.70 six rounds

There is a 15-minute break before overtime. Players don’t even have to go back to the locker room. Everyone is on the sidelines to replenish water and eat bananas to replenish energy. There are 30 minutes in overtime. Like regular time, it will be divided into two halves.

The temperature at the end of May was still cool, but after running for more than 5 meters on the field, the players sweated profusely, and then stopped suddenly. The heat was lingering all over their bodies, and many of them directly poured water bottles on their heads. water.

The test that the body has to face is not only high temperature, but also endless fatigue. Some people have already started to experience cramps due to the constant acceleration and return running near the end of the game.The team doctor is doing simple emergency treatment, trying to make them play healthy in overtime.

The players formed a circle crookedly, and Cross stood in the center, arranging tactics for everyone.

Fortunately, he still has three substitutions in his hands, plus one extra in overtime, so that he can adjust as much as he likes in the game, and Guardiola has used up all three substitutions in regular time , there is only one spot in hand at this time, which will give qpr a huge advantage.

After all, after nine or ten minutes of running, the players continue to run now, relying entirely on their own willpower to fight, while the players who have been sitting on the bench for the entire game have abundant physical fitness.

After the start of overtime, qpr directly used two substitutions in the opening game.

Cross' approach was bold, but it paid off.Relying on the physical advantages of the two players, they almost played against Manchester City at the beginning of the game.

"Manchester City will have trouble if it continues like this. It is completely offensive and defensive drills in their half. No matter how high the goalkeeper is to block and block, they will not be able to withstand such a frequency of shots." The commentator saw Manchester City's passive scene and knew they To suffer.

Sure enough, within 2 minutes of the voice landing, qpr took the lead again with Partridge's volley.

"I really can't blame the players of Manchester City for this ball. We can see that the defensive players have more than enough energy but not enough energy. They also want to defend, but their movements can no longer keep up with their consciousness. At this time, their physical fitness has reached the limit. Although They were chasing back as hard as they could, but they could only watch the ball go into the net."

Taking the lead again, the qpr players rushed to the sidelines and hugged each other excitedly, especially Partridge, who scored the goal, while roaring, his neck was covered with blue veins. preciousness.

At this moment, even Qi Yue stood up and applauded for his players.

"Excellent offense." Mansur commented pertinently after Qi Yue took his seat.

"Thank you." Qi Yue, who was too excited, realized that she might have lost her composure in the celebration just now.

After all, he was sitting with his boss.

But he was just happy. After more than 100 minutes of hard work, his team finally saw the hope of victory again. If they endured at this time, they would suffer internal injuries.

The game restarted soon, and Guardiola still had no intention of substituting. At this moment, Partridge had leg cramps, and the referee did not stop the game. Partridge tried to continue running, but his calf was too tight. It hurts, and after a few small attempts, he had to face the display, the pain and stiffness seriously affected his movements.

"Kroos applied for a substitution again, and Partridge was replaced on the 19th. We can see that he suffered from severe calf cramps due to excessive exercise. Replacing him at this time is also a kind of protection. At the same time, as an extra time The hero who scored the goal, this time off the field is also to let him enjoy the applause of the fans."

Partridge was a little disappointed when he left the field. No player wants to fight to the end, but he had to withdraw early due to physical reasons. Fortunately, they are leading now, otherwise he would definitely feel guilty about it.

The qpr fans in the stadium stood up and applauded the 19-year-old as the commentator said, which is a compliment to his hard work in this game and also a tribute to his outstanding performance throughout the season affim.

Partridge hugged his teammates and coach one by one when he was off the court.

"Good job, boy." Cross patted the back of his head.

Partridge nodded with a smile, took the energy supplement handed over by the staff, sat on the bench and ate every mouthful, and the team doctor also came over to check him at the moment.

Kroos's substitution was not a match-up substitution, but to strengthen the control and defense of the midfield. It can be seen that this is to signal his disciples to be steady first and stop blindly pressing the offense.

After all, without the explosive point of Partridge on the left, half of their offensive methods were locked.

The players read his hints, so they began to slow down, no longer continuously attacking Manchester City's defense, but entered a controlled rhythm.

"It's interesting. Taking advantage of the decline in physical strength and deformed movements of Manchester City players, Kroos can't continue to press high-intensity. He started to play what his master Guardiola did. If it wasn't for the wrong color of the jersey, you might You will mistakenly think that this is Manchester City in the blue and white striped shirt."

Guardiola has not said anything about this, and continues to sit calmly in the coach's bench to observe the situation on the field.

The score of 2:1 was maintained until the end of the first half overtime.

qpr are just 15 minutes away from winning the FA Cup.

Whether it was Qi Yue or the players who were standing on the field during the half-time break, their hearts began to jump with joy.

In the first year of promotion, the team will not only enter the top four in the league, but also win a championship trophy, which is something to be excited about anyway.

"Calm down, lads, everyone still has 15 minutes to play, you must cheer up, I won't say too much, I just need you to be highly concentrated in the next game, and there should be no negligence." Ross saw that his disciples were different from the tired expressions before, and now one and two were full of energy. He was really worried that they would be relieved too early, and something would go wrong next.

A group of people nodded their heads, not sure if they heard what was going on in their hearts.

After changing sides in the second half, Manchester City still did not use their last substitution quota.

qpr continued to control the situation on the field. They took the ball to control the rhythm near the center circle and steadily advanced towards Manchester City's half.

Kroos breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Evans' mind is still calm. As the hub of the midfield, the rhythm of the entire team is still very stable under his coordination.

Facing Manchester City's defense, qpr began to increase the frequency of long-range shots from the outside, hoping to use this method to break the deadlock and continue to further expand its lead.

After the ball was cleared by a Manchester City defender and flew out of the baseline, Guardiola, who had been standing still, finally used his last substitution.

Sean, a 192 defender, is their youth reserve army. He is only 20 years old this year, but he has already shown his talent on the defensive line. He can compete for the top, run, and slide cleanly, but he is too young.

When Manchester City's main central defender is still in his prime, he is more likely to be placed on the bench for rotation, and he wants to use 3-5 years to complete the replacement of the old and the new.

The corner kick waited until Sean was on the field before starting the penalty.

"I don't know what effect Guardiola's substitution will have. After all, it is the last substitution, which is very precious." The commentator stared nervously at the situation on the field, "Evans took the penalty, the ball Pitta of qpr and Sean of Manchester City, Sean grabbed the spot! Passed the ball with his head, Gabriel received the ball in front and passed it to the captain of Manchester City Sterling, Sterling passed the qpr defender. In the 117th minute of the game, Sterling faced the goalkeeper one-on-one, a single goal! Newt blocked the angle, Sterling still kicked, and the ball scored ! Sterling, the captain of Manchester City, stood up at this moment! 2:2, the game was equalized, in the 117th minute!"

After Sterling scored a goal, he ran to the sidelines to celebrate.

The qpr players didn't expect that they played against Manchester City for almost the entire overtime, but at the last minute they made a mistake and conceded the ball again. Everyone showed puzzled and even depressed expressions at the moment.

Evans remained calm, quickly ran to his goal, picked up the ball, put it back in the middle circle, and wanted to continue the game as soon as possible. There are still more than two minutes left, and they still have a chance.

Others were also encouraged by the actions of the captain Evans on the field. After the Manchester City players celebrated, they kicked off quickly again and re-entered the rhythm of the game.

There are more than two minutes left, and they can still attack!

The qpr players continued to bombard Manchester City's penalty area.

"Pita took a long shot and the goalkeeper cleared the siege. Lorenf made a supplementary shot. The Manchester City goalkeeper played bravely again and saved the ball sideways. Evans still had a chance and volleyed. Today's Manchester City goalkeeper is probably the goalkeeper. Possessed, he quickly got up from the ground and made another wonderful save! This must be the top ten saves of the year, three times in a row, blocking the must-goal of the qpr players!"

Cross's face, which has always been expressionless, also began to become dignified.Evans, Lorenfe, Deyeve, William... He looked at the players on the field and thought about who was still available.

The game is very likely to enter a penalty shootout, which is too cruel.But no matter what, he has to be prepared.

He still has a substitution in his hand. After quickly scanning all the players on the field, he turned his head and looked at the bench. There is still a substitution in his hand. He can choose another penalty shooter from here.

Some of the players on the bench raised their heads confidently, some had nervous faces, and some had already closed their eyes and prayed.

Many people think that whether a penalty kick is hit or not is not even decided by the player who took the penalty. At that moment, God decides the outcome.

In fact, all event organizers also record the penalty shootout as a tie, not the relationship between the winner and the loser shown by the score.

This way of winning is too cruel. Every shot of every player bears the fate of the entire team.

Compared with technology, penalty kicks are more of a test of psychological quality.

So Kroos set his sights on his players with hope shining in his eyes.

"Tommy, get ready, you are going to play." This is a central defender who was promoted from the youth training. When he was in the youth team, he had been the captain of Kroos for nearly a season. After that, he was brought up.

"Yes, Coach."

"Kroos is obviously preparing for the penalty shootout. Tommy Fred, who is 17 years and six months old this year, has been a youth team player before, and this is his first appearance in the first team."

"After Kroos's substitution was completed, the referee also blew the whistle for the end of overtime. In the FA Cup of the 2025-2026 season, the final winner will be determined through a penalty shootout. gone."

The author has something to say: There will be another chapter later, as usual, friends who go to bed early, let’s get up and watch it tomorrow~

The 2025-2026 season is coming to an end, tomorrow will enter the second volume, hahaha, here I come to the World Cup, Mourinho, Qi Xuanzong, are going to be handsome in the World Cup! ! !

77. No.70 seven rounds

The pressure of the first penalty kick is heavy, and the burden is also heavy. Kroos did not decide who will take the penalty, but asked his five penalty shooters: "Who wants to go up first?"

When Evans was about to stand up and take on this responsibility, Tommy Fred, who was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf, eagerly took a step forward: "Yes, coach, I want to pass."

After Kroos confirmed, he was appointed as the first penalty shooter.

The order thereafter was decided by himself, with Evans playing last.

Manchester City took the penalty first, and the qpr players hugged each other's teammates' arms and stood in a row, looking at Gabriel in front of the goal, so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

Gabriel outwits the keeper and Newt makes a bad save.

The order came to qpr.

Tommy never thought that his first appearance on behalf of the first team would be under such a high-profile situation. This is Wembley. Step onto the pitch.

Before putting the ball down, he kissed it and placed it on the penalty spot as if he were a lover.

The qpr players stood on the halfway line and Willian turned his back in fear, squatting there, covering his face without even looking.

When Kroos saw him, it was like seeing his young self at that time. Although the 22-year-old young central defender was clean and neat in defense, his mental quality at the moment was not enough.

However, there are many people like William who dare not open their eyes. Half of the qpr fans in the stands bowed their heads and prayed silently at this moment, hoping that this young man will definitely score this goal.

Compared with other people's worries, Tommy standing in front of the penalty spot was very calm, and he was confident that he would be able to hit the penalty kick.

As the captain of the youth team, he took all 10 penalty kicks this season and hit them all, so in his opinion, this penalty kick will also enter the net without any accidents.

"The ball has been scored! Since ancient times, heroes have come out of teenagers. The 17-year-old player from qpr calmly hit the ball into the lower right corner of the net. The Manchester City goalkeeper made a mistake in his judgment and rushed in the opposite direction. qpr had a good start. "

The moment he volleyed the ball, the crisp sound echoed throughout Wembley Stadium, and in the next second, violent cheers erupted in the originally silent stadium.

Qi Yue has never been so nervous before, he even wanted to cover his eyes like some fans did, but he sat next to Mansour, and he couldn't lose his momentum no matter what, so he forced himself to watch the players take the penalty kick Every move before the point, after the penalty was hit, he exhaled lightly.

Manchester City's Sane stood in front of the penalty spot, and countless fans prayed that this penalty must be missed.

Shot again!Sane waved his fist lightly and high-fived his teammates.

"QPR's second penalty, Lorenf picked up the ball and walked slowly towards the penalty spot."

Lorenfe was a little nervous, especially when Manchester City made the first two free throws, his shot should not be missed.

In the tension, Lorenfe hugged the ball tightly to his chest. The ball was heavily pressed on his chest, and some of it was sunken in. He didn't even notice the pain, and everyone could notice this detail.

"Lorenfe's state is too tight, and there may be problems with this ball." Lineker pointed out mercilessly.

After putting the football on the penalty spot, Lorenf took two deep breaths, and kept saying to himself in his heart: Lorenf, you can do it, you can do it...

Maybe it's the psychological suggestion that played a role, or maybe it's because the muscles of the body have memorized it after training too many times. At the moment Lorenf was running up, his originally tense body stretched out, and the smooth movements were done in one go, steadily. Steady delivery of the ball into the goal.

After returning to his teammates in the middle circle, he couldn't hold on any longer, and sat on the ground with limp legs, rubbing his face vigorously, unable to recall everything that happened before, and focused all his attention on Manchester City's next penalty shooter.

"Clean and clean, another win for Manchester City, they have scored all three goals so far, and the pressure is on qpr's side."

Dejeve , the qpr midfielder , has come a long way over the year with help from evans , and as the third penalty - taker , he reveals a sense of style with every step he steps onto the pitch firm.Fiddled with the ball with both hands and turned it around several times.

"There are also two goals in Deyeve's account this season. His long shots are very good. I don't know how the penalty is."

Dejeve did not put the ball down directly, but stepped on the turf near the penalty spot with his feet, in case there were potholes, which would affect the force of the ball.

"This is a meticulousness unique to midfielders. From this action, it can be seen that Deyeve is very meticulous and careful in doing things. The most important thing is that he is very calm now."

Dejeve glanced at the opponent's goalkeeper, took two steps back, ran lightly, and pushed and shot. The Manchester City goalkeeper judged the right path!

The audience exclaimed.

Fortunately, Deyeve's shot was not strong but the angle was very tricky, so it was not blocked.

The ball was successfully scored again!

It wasn't until seeing the penalty kick dodging the goalkeeper's outstretched hands and completely crossing the goal line that Qi Yue felt some pain in his palms, and only now did he realize that his fists were clenched too tightly, and there were already dents in his palms.

Qi Yue put the back of her hands up as if to cover up, and put both hands on her knees.

Manchester City, who competed with qpr, hit a penalty again like lightning.

William, who kept his back to the goal, moved his feet, jumped twice on the turf, picked up the football and walked towards the penalty spot.

Without any extra movement, William kicked the ball up and down diagonally.

"Oh, the ball was high and Willian was trying to get into the dead corner, diagonally above the goal where the keeper couldn't save it, but the kick was off the mark and the ball flew into the stands. It was wide, I have to say. Outrageous." He Wei sighed in the broadcast room, "But at this time, how can we criticize such a young player. The penalty shootout is too cruel. Everyone who has the courage to go to The players from the 12-yard penalty spot are all heroes, but some heroes can triumph, and some heroes can only fail on the battlefield, but this is football, this is sports.”

William stared blankly at the football flying towards the stands. At this moment, his mind kept flashing back to his shot just now. Where did he go wrong to produce such an outrageous result?

Returning to the team of teammates in the middle circle with one kick and one heavy kick, William was still in a daze.

"It's okay, there is one more round." Evans, as the captain of the field at the moment, patted William on the shoulder and comforted him.

Lorenf went up and gave his friend a big hug.

William, who had been holding back all this time, buried his head on his shoulder and shed tears silently. He didn't even dare to raise his head. He was afraid of seeing the disappointed expressions of his teammates, and he was even more afraid that his emotions would affect everyone, which would not be conducive to the future. A round of free throws was stable, so even though he was crying, he gritted his teeth tightly, made no sound, and controlled his body not to tremble.

Lorenfe felt the wetness on his shoulders, knew that he was crying, but did not reveal it, read his inner thoughts, hugged him tightly, covered his body, and helped him cover up.

When Qi Yue saw the conceded goal, his disappointment was beyond words, and he immediately thought that if such emotions were captured by the broadcast camera, they would be used to make a big fuss, so he bowed his head.

When she raised her head again, Qi Yue's expression had recovered.

As far as the eye could see, Sterling, the last penalty shooter of Manchester City, was already standing in front of the [-]-yard penalty spot.

Everyone in Wembley held their breath and focused their eyes on him.

Including Qi Yue, all the qpr supporters were praying that the goal would not be scored, leaving qpr with a glimmer of hope.

The fans of Manchester City are equally nervous. Many of them have turned their heads away and dare not face such a scene.Even Mansur, who has always seemed very calm, leaned forward slightly at this moment, slightly tense.

As the current captain of Manchester City, Sterling glanced at Newt, with the determination to win the ball in his eyes.

"Sterling is running up, Sterling kicks, a scoop penalty kick, the goal is scored! Manchester City won their first trophy of the season. In the 2025-2026 season, the FA Cup champion is-Manchester City !Manchester City is the champion!" The commentator roared and announced the final result, Manchester City players were running to celebrate, and Manchester City fans shouted excitedly in the stands.

In contrast, on the other side, the lonely backs of the qpr players, this young army with unfulfilled ambitions, shed hot tears at this moment.The qpr fans in the stands also had tears in their eyes and looked at the stadium in frustration, unable to believe that it was over like this.

Evans, as the last free throw shooter, didn't even get a chance to play, and the game was over.

The score was frozen as Manchester City: qpr2:2 (5:4).

William couldn't restrain his pain and guilt any longer, his body twitched and wept loudly.

Lorenfe let go of his arms and wiped the tears from his cheeks.

Evans rubbed the hair of the two of them: "It doesn't matter. Every game has a winner or loser. Everyone performed very well. It's just that the goddess of luck didn't favor us tonight. Go back and sleep well at night. Fight again."

The players on the bench also walked into the field to comfort the crying teammates on the field.

Wilson, who sat in the stands and watched the whole game, with the help of the staff, entered the stadium on crutches, went straight to William, who was still in pain and couldn't control himself, and took him into his arms.

"I'm sorry, captain, it's all my fault. I ruined the game. I let everyone waste the opportunity that everyone worked so hard to get." William is 22 years old, and his eyes are blurred like a 12-year-old child.His whole body was full of sadness, he branded himself as a sinner, and he was stuck in the emotion of remorse and guilt and couldn't get out.

He still has a long footballing career and there will always be chances to win other trophies, but today, 2025 May 5 at 26pm, he missed out on the FA Cup and will never get another season for the rest of his life FA Cup.This missed penalty kick will accompany him throughout his career and will always be remembered.

"It's okay. I was injured this year, which restricted everyone's performance. Let's do it all over again next year. We will win the championship." Wilson kissed his forehead, comforting him warmly.

The game is over, and the result is a foregone conclusion. As the captain, even if he is not reconciled to the final loss, he must restrain his emotions now, stand in front of the players, and encourage them to cheer up again. Don't let this mistake affect the future Contest.

It was the first time that Qi Yue was so close to the trophy, but missed it within reach. Disappointment is inevitable, but on this occasion, he still needs to maintain his demeanor, stand up, and stretch out his hand to Mansour: " Congratulations, congratulations Manchester City."

"Thank you." Mansur suppressed the whole scene, and couldn't hide the smile on his face at the moment.

This is Manchester City's only trophy this season, and he attaches great importance to it.

Soon the staff of the FA came over and asked the two to come to the field and present medals for their team together with the award presenters.

The runner-up stands on the podium first.

Qi Yue stood on the far left, and the players came from his side, hugged each of them, and whispered comfort in their ears.

Going to the penalty shootout means that the players have given everything they can on the pitch, and finally have to rely on this method to let fate decide the result. How can he blame them?

"Mr. Qi, I'm sorry." Partridge still had some pain in his calf, which made him limp when he walked. Until now, he still hadn't controlled his emotions, sobbing sobbingly, with The tear cavity said intermittently.

"Scorer, you are great today." Qi Yue rubbed his messy hair.

"It's all my fault." William had already controlled himself from crying, but the sadness in his voice didn't decrease at all, as if it might overflow at any time.

"Without your efforts, we would not have made it to the FA Cup final. You played very well in today's game, and you are the backbone of our well-deserved defense." Qi Yue patted him on the shoulder vigorously, signaling him not to worry about the end mistakes.

......

Evans was the captain of the field, so he came last.

"Sorry." Evans said sadly in his ear, his voice hoarse.

"No, you performed very well, you are my hero, and I am proud of you." Qi Yue said firmly in his ear.

The runner-up also has a medal, but after the qpr players stepped off the podium, they all did similar actions together.

They turned their heads and looked at the Manchester City players standing on the podium holding up the FA Cup behind them, took off the medals around their necks, put them in their pockets, turned around and walked towards the players' tunnel without any regrets.

Whether they are surrounded by qpr or supporters of Manchester City, the fans at the scene stood up and gave warm applause to the qpr players. Their hard work dedicated a wonderful game to the fans.

As for the qpr fans, after one or two people sang the team anthem sporadically, everyone joined in. The louder and louder the sound, the louder and louder the echo over Wembley Stadium.

They sang this song ten years ago when the team won the fourth place in the league, and they sang it again today, singing about their eternal support for the team, standing together through thick and thin, and never giving up.

The qpr players who had already suppressed their emotions couldn't help but start to have red eyes again under such a scene.

Their 2025-2026 season is over, but the new journey is still waiting for them.

As the lyrics say, they will never stop wanting to win.

There is still a chance next year, and they will win back everything they lost.

The author has something to say: this season is over, there are regrets and gains, the most important thing is that this young team has been growing, I believe everyone will be better next season~

I'm sleepy, I'll catch the worm tomorrow, I haven't caught the worm that owes a lot of chapters (╥╯^╰╥)

"Good morning, baby."

Qi Yue was sitting in the living room watching TV, when she raised her head slightly, she saw his handsome and messed up lover going down the stairs sleepily, the nightgown was loosely tied, completely unable to conceal his beautiful muscle lines.

If it wasn't for the fact that this man was obviously still awake, Qi Yue would have suspected that he was seducing herself, trying to take advantage of his masculinity.

Evans walked up to Qi Yue, bowed his head and exchanged a sweet kiss with him: "God, I don't even want to go to the national team to report." Evans is nostalgic for the life here.

Both had a week's vacation after the end of the season, and came to a private island together. The world between the two was very sweet, and the days without work were so leisurely.

Unfortunately, I have to leave today.

Evans needs to report to England's training base in the United States tonight, and Qi Yue also needs to return to the club to prepare for various tasks during the transfer period.

"Is there going to be a press conference to announce the national team roster today?" Evans was pushed by Qi Yue to have breakfast, and asked vaguely.

England has adopted a brand-new method of announcing the national team roster this year. Except for the captain Evans, who has already received the news and needs to go to the training base in advance to make preliminary preparations with the coaching team, everyone else will announce the roster through live broadcast today. Come to find out if you have a chance to play in the World Cup in a month's time.

The players who entered the squad will report to the training base three days later.

"It's about to start." Qi Yue didn't know why she felt nervous at all.

Evans received a phone call from Gerrard as soon as the FA Cup final ended: "Odysseus, I am sorry for the result of tonight's game, but I still have to inform you at this moment that you will be in the World Cup." Continue to be the captain, remember, your vacation is only one week, and immediately report to the training base in California after the end."

Evans knew that entering the training base meant cutting off all contact with Qi Yue.Based on Gerrard's "iron-blood coach" performance in the past six months, their residence may even be required to disconnect from the Internet, and it is even more delusional for family and friends to visit.

So after getting the news, he was about to pretend to be pitiful and let Qi Yue accompany him this week.After all, this difference is equivalent to not meeting again until the end of England's current World Cup trip.

Even though his love life is sweet, fighting for the country still makes his blood boil, he naturally hopes
