In English League One, Coventry defeated Sunderland, and Shen Xiao took the most credit.

But Shen Xiao did not become famous because of his outstanding performance in this game.

Shen Xiao's name is only talked about among Coventry fans.

Because the platform is really important.

Football club, too!

The opportunity to become famous with one goal may only be on the world-class stage.

For example, the five major European leagues, as well as continental cups such as the World Cup.

Even if his performance in the English League One is unparalleled, it will be difficult for him to appear in major football newspapers and attract attention from all parties.

For example, Dong Fangzhuo, a talented player from China, was killing everyone in the Belgian League Two, and he also won the league's golden boot!

However, due to the platform issue of the Belgian Second League, Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United still did not recognize him at the time.

Therefore, Shen Xiao didn't feel any grievance. He knew clearly that he was still a newcomer in football.

But what made Shen Xiao happy was that at the team dinner after the game, head coach Robbins and his teammates praised him like a hero.

Many Coventry fans also praised Shen Xiao's performance on the team's fan forum.

After the team took a short rest for a day, head coach Robbins called all the players back to the team for training.

Because on Thursday, Coventry will play a cup match!

FA Cup!

This is a cup competition open to all FA member teams in England.

But the competition format of this cup is a one-on-one knockout round between clubs at all levels.

When Robins announced on the training ground that he was going to face Liverpool away from home in midweek, many players lamented.

Liverpool, currently the leader of the Premier League.

Moreover, he is also the champion of the UEFA Champions League in the 19th season!

After Coventry defeated Sunderland, the accumulated points are only ranked 6th in the English League One table.

Letting the sixth-placed team in English League One challenge the Premier League hegemon is undoubtedly an attempt to kill an egg with an egg.

Although in the history of football, there have been many unknown small football teams that have challenged super clubs.

For example, in the Copa del Rey of Spain in a certain year, Real Madrid overturned in front of the Spanish third-division club Alcorcon.

but!

Liverpool's form has been booming in the past two years.

From head coach Klopp to the construction of the entire Liverpool team, they deserve to be the European champions in the 19th season!

When Shen Xiao heard about Coventry's FA Cup schedule, he didn't have the despairing expression like other teammates.

On the contrary, he was a little confused, because he could directly play against the world's top teams and check how he fared against the teams that had not unlocked the league.

Shen Xiao carefully looked through the records left in his mind by the system.

After completing the task of "stopping the ball 10,000 times", the leagues unlocked by the system are: English League One, Chinese League One, French League Two...

But there is no FA Cup!

In other words, the FA Cup has not been unlocked!

Then, the ability of "Super Football Master" cannot be used in the FA Cup.

Is it because the FA Cup covers many teams from the English Championship and Premier League, so it is of a higher level?

I wonder if I can unlock the FA Cup after completing "stopping the ball 100,000 times"?

Shen Xiao decided that he had to complete the task of stopping the ball 100,000 times as soon as possible.

In the future, I will have to continue to participate in games, and I will have to use my rest time for ball practice.

After all, Wangshan is a dead horse!

One hundred thousand or one million may not seem like many numbers just to think about, but they are very hard to implement.

But what left Shen Xiao speechless was that Robins had already talked to Shen Xiao before the team trained.

Since the main forward Gordon was injured for about a month, the head coach asked Shen Xiao to temporarily serve as the team's starting forward.

As for the FA Cup match between Coventry and Liverpool, Shen Xiao will definitely play.

After all, Shen Xiao's performance in the battle with Sunderland was too outstanding!

Shen Xiao's next team's starting lineup is almost "popular" in the hearts of the head coach, players and fans!

However, what will the football master Shen Xiao, who is invincible in the English League One, look like in the FA Cup?

Shen Xiao was unsure at this time. After all, without the support of the system, he would not be able to beat Liverpool with his current strength.

It seems that you still need to be tough in order to strike iron!

In the future, in addition to completing system tasks, you will also have to spend time continuing to practice your football skills.

Shen Xiao thought of this and secretly made up his mind.

…

"Yeah! How many days will we go to Liverpool to play a game?"

Billy seemed excited after hearing the news.

"Billy, look at how excited you are, why are you so happy about playing with Liverpool?"

At this time, Jones, who was standing aside, said to Billy.

"Isn't it worth being happy to be able to play with stars like Salah, Mane and Firmino?"

Billy replied still excitedly.

"If we were tortured by some of their superstars, we would be happy, right?"

Jones continued, then rolled his eyes at Billy.

"Jones, don't worry, we won't necessarily lose..."

"Really, Shen Xiao?"

After Billy finished speaking, he patted Shen Xiao on the shoulder confidently.

After Jones looked at Shen Xiao, his heart trembled, and then he was thoughtful and said nothing.

Faced with Billy's sudden question, Shen Xiao could only smile bitterly and said:

"Everyone, please do your best, we are the Liverpool team!"

When Billy heard this, he was a little dissatisfied with the answer, and then his eyes widened, with most of his white eyes showing.

"Hey, you're so good, Shen Xiao!"

"Weren't you very cool when you played against Sunderland? Why are you so timid now?"

Billy said angrily to Shen Xiao.

"This is Liverpool, the number one team in the Premier League right now..."

Shen Xiao also replied with some guilt.

"I won't listen, I won't listen, Shen Xiao, Shen Xiao! With you, the team will definitely win!"

After saying that, Billy covered his ears and ran away.

Facing this teammate and partner Billy, who had already "mythified" him in his heart, Shen Xiao could only helplessly shake his head.

Two hours later, Coventry’s training camp ended!

Many players are listless during training.

In the face of absolute strength, many people already believe that "losing less is better than winning" in this game.

People at the Coventry training base gradually dispersed, and Shen Xiao quietly came to Robbins' side.

"Coach, can you not let me play in this game against Liverpool?"

Shen Xiao said softly, the expression on his face clearly showing his guilt.

"What's the matter? You're afraid of losing! This doesn't seem to be your style, Shen Xiao?"

Robbins looked at Shen Xiao, then deliberately feigned anger.

"Hey, coach, you have seen through it!"

"You also know what kind of team Liverpool is? Can you bear to let me go on the field and be abused by the European champions?"

"I'm still a new player on the team, still a kid..."

Shen smiled and replied as if he was about to cry without tears.

"no!"

"First of all, you can't admit defeat early just because the opponent is a world-leading team!"

"Furthermore, this game is a good opportunity to communicate with strong teams. It just allows you young players to get a good workout!"

"In the end, even if we lose, we have to show our Coventry style!"

Robbins criticized Shen Xiao seriously.

"Coach, I know I was wrong!"

After being educated and reminded by Robbins, Shen Xiao suddenly realized that his cowardice from the beginning was too exaggerated.
Chapter completed!
