Chapter 74: The Dark Horse of Buddhism

In the fifth round of the FA Cup, Arsenal faced Sutton United away.

This is a fifth tier club in England.

The English football system, in terms of classification, has a total of seven levels.

First: English Premier League.

Second: English Champions League.

Third: England's First Division.

Fourth: England’s Second Division.

Fifth: English League League.

Sixth: Yingyi Southern League\\/Yingyi Northern League.

Seventh: England Southern Premier League\\/Northern England Premier League!

Sutton United is located in the fifth level league, which is the intercontinental competition area.

They only play in the London area and can only enter the national stage if they are promoted to the second division again.

It can be said that such a team reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup is already a super upset.

Not to mention, they defeated Leeds United in the fourth round.

However, before this game, Sutton United's performance in the league was not good, and the gap with Arsenal was obvious to all.

Sutton United head coach Doswell also said that being able to compete with Arsenal is already a success for them.

This also shows Sutton United's desire-free mentality when facing Arsenal.

Even if you lose there is no shame.

On the other hand, Arsenal is likely to undergo a substantial rotation.

The league and Europa League are waiting for them, and they cannot put too much effort into this kind of competition.

However, in order to ensure that there are no accidents in the game, Lucai will still start the game.

This news also makes Sutton United extremely excited.

They don't care about winning or losing, but they want to play against truly top players, and Lucky is obviously the best choice.

Sutton United is a team located in Sutton, South London. Their home ground is called Gander Green Lane.

This is a small stadium with a capacity of 5,013 people, and the attendance per game does not exceed 3,000 people.

It can be said that Sutton United is a completely low-level small team.

The team has no star players, no huge financial support, and no gorgeous home court.

Many of their players cannot even be described as professions. After all, many of them need to work while playing football to increase their family income.

It can be said that such a team reaching the fifth round of the FA Cup and meeting Arsenal is indeed considered a success.

After all, the next step they take is the quarterfinals.

The stadium with a total of 5,000 people was indeed packed today.

Mainly because the arrival of Arsenal has given this stadium a lot of popularity.

Many people were lying outside the railings to watch the game.

Some Arsenal flags slid down the balconies of surrounding residential buildings. This is a local situation, and they can watch the game from their balconies.

The so-called player tunnel is the gap between the two courts, behind which is a large iron gate locked with a door lock.

The entire stadium looked shabby.

"Hey! Kai! Look here!"

"Big mom! I want your jersey!"

"Will you give me more autographs?"

The fans on both sides greeted Lucky enthusiastically, but since it was about to enter the stadium, Lucky did not communicate too much with them.

Soon, both sides entered the court under the leadership of the referee.

On Arsenal's side, except for the goalkeeper, Lucky, the two full-backs and Aubameyang, they are all rotating substitutes.

Mourinho hopes that Arsenal's players can get some rest and prepare for the intensive schedule ahead.

Lucky stood in the court and stepped on the court.

The lawn is slightly hard.

Before the game, the coaching staff told them to wear sneakers with broken spikes. If they wear ordinary sneakers, there may be a risk of sprained feet.

The entire stadium was built next to a factory. Various machines were humming non-stop. The strange smell of industrial waste also filled the nose. The playing environment was relatively harsh.

At this time, the referee exited the center circle, everyone's spirits were lifted, and the game was about to begin.

Sutton United played very actively. Perhaps their relaxed mentality allowed them to perform better. They did not have any defensive posture and attacked in style.

Sometimes, the defenders will even press forward for further pressure.

When Arsenal attacked, Lucky stood in the center circle and looked towards the opponent's goal. The goalkeeper still stood near the front of the penalty area and continued to direct.

This position

Lucky looked at Zabi, who immediately passed the ball over.

After holding the ball, a Sutton United player rushed over to press for him. Lucky moved the ball across the ball to get him into space. He immediately raised his right foot and hit the ball hard.

"This ball!

!

Hanging door? !

!

"

"Sutton United goalkeeper!

The position is too far forward!

"

Soon, the commentator shouted loudly; "Goal!

!

!

! Only 8 minutes into the game, Kai completed a shocking lob!

"

Lucky smiled and shook his head.

He didn't know what the opponent's goalkeeper was thinking. He was probably too excited or had too much desire to express himself.

But in that position, everyone would want to try hanging the door.

Lucky scored and Arsenal simply celebrated.

After all, it is the fifth round of the FA Cup. For this game, they have almost no reason to lose.

The game starts again.

But it was soon stopped.

the reason is simple.

At this time, a man knelt down on one knee in front of Lucky. He crossed his hands on his chest and finally muttered something. From time to time, he lowered his head and kissed Lucky's sneakers.

This is not the first time Lucky has encountered fans who broke into the stadium, but

Lucky turned to look at the iron gates. The iron gates filled with fans were shaking violently. Security guards stood in two rows to block each other, and some police officers were tearing them down outside.

The game was suspended for about 20 minutes. For safety reasons, Lucky and others even went back to the locker room to take shelter.

After the supporting police and security personnel were in place, they returned to the arena to compete.

However, there is almost no suspense in this game.

In the 37th minute, Lucky assisted Campbell and scored another goal.

Arsenal's two-goal lead basically determined the outcome of the game.

In the 55th minute of the second half, Mourinho also replaced Lucai.

With two goals guaranteed, Lucky's work is done.

"I told the coach that I wanted to find my form, but he wouldn't let me."

Lukaku said with a depressed look.

Lucky rolled his eyes angrily.

This guy just loves to abuse food.

Many of these Sutton United players have not even experienced professional training, and their movements are not standardized.

When a player like Lukaku is placed on the court, he is a big killer.

Just rely on your body to eat everything!

In the end, Lukaku did not get a chance to abuse for a minute. At the end of the 90-minute game, Arsenal won 3:0 at Sutton United.

For the fans, they saw Lucky's shocking lob in this game, and this goal was enough for them to buy tickets for this game.

Sutton United are also very satisfied!

Although they lost the game, they gained enough insights.

They played very passively throughout the game. They even felt that Arsenal did not use their full strength, and most of the main players were sitting on the bench.

But they just came to experience the style of some top teams, and they were satisfied.

After a game, everyone is happy.

Arsenal successfully reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.

The fans saw a wonderful performance.

Sutton United has also achieved certain growth. At least the tickets sold for this game were five times their usual number.

Next, Arsenal needs to fully prepare for the league.

The Europa League knockout rounds will begin on March 10.

The FA Cup quarter-finals are on March 12.

During this period, they only need to focus on the league, with a total of five rounds.

They will play Watford, Hull City, Chelsea, Liverpool and Southampton respectively.

The first two games were relatively easy, but playing against Chelsea and Liverpool in succession was a bit difficult.

Moreover, Chelsea is currently in a hot state. They have won ten consecutive games and are ready to do everything possible.

Liverpool's recent form is also extremely hot.

Everyone wants to get more points in the points battle.

And this kind of strong dialogue is a good time to score points. Although the risk is high, it also represents huge rewards.

Once Arsenal wins these two games, he will be able to stabilize his position in the standings and not be a little nervous in every game.

Of course, these two teams will definitely not let Arsenal win easily.
