Chapter Twenty-Six: The FA Cup is Coming

FC United won a resounding victory in Gran Rom Town, and Li Qingshan, who made his season debut, quickly gained the affection of fans in FC United's fan circle. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Newton's Sith fans are already preparing to create songs for Li Qingshan. It's called Li Qingshan's Song.

Writing songs for players is a way for fans to express their love for the players.

Three days later, back at home against Whitby Town in the second round of the league, Gig Lane was flooded with more than 3,000 fans and the outside of the stadium was filled with fans wearing FC United shirts.

It was Lee's first appearance in the home league, and the influx of fans scared him. There weren't many fans in the warm-up games.

"Are these all fans of the team? There are thousands of them! Li Qingshan looked at the spectacular sea of people and sighed.

"Of course, we're probably the amateur team with the most fans in the world." Captain Dean Stott was right next to him.

When FC United was founded, thousands of fans poured into its first game, a first in the history of an amateur league and a record number of attendees in a non-professional league.

In 2015, a group of Manchester United fans came up to convict Manchester United and founded FC United, which has been built with the concept of "serving the community" in mind. In order to avoid the recurrence of the team being sold, the club has implemented a paid membership system, and no matter how much the member pays, he only has the right to vote on one ballot. So far, the team has paid more than 4,200 members alone.

One person, one vote, that's the core value of the team.

In this game, with the support of the home fans, FC United played quite well, and Li Qingshan scored a hat trick again, and finally defeated the opponent 5:2.

Four days later, FC United beat visiting Matlock Town 6-0 to win three games in a row, and it looked like no team could stop Li Qingshan's goal, in which he scored twice and assisted two goals directly from his team-mate.

Next up are FC United's 2-1 away win over Shield Albion, 3-1 at home to Huntsford Town and 2-0 away to Whitby Town. Six consecutive wins since the start of the season. And Li Qingshan has also scored in six consecutive games.

The quality of the team at this level is completely insufficient to stop Li Qingshan's goal, and he has now set his sights on the FA Cup.

Coach Marginson once told him that there was a chance to play against teams in the professional league or even the Premier League in the FA Cup. Li Qingshan is now desperate to meet a professional team to test his strength.

He is now increasingly convinced that he has what it takes to play in the professional league, and in the seventh division, there is no defender who can stop him except for fouls with rough gestures at all costs. A couple of games in a row gave him a lot of confidence.

He went out of his way to check the experience of several strikers who played from the amateur league to the professional league, and found that his goal scoring efficiency in this arena was no less than theirs.

Take, for example, striker Jamie Vardy, who now plays for Championship side North Premier League club Charifis Town, where he scored 26 goals in his first season with sixth tier clubs. After three years in the club, he moved to Fleetwood, a national league club in the English parliament in the fifth tier. He scored 31 goals in his first inquest for the new club. After helping the team win the national league title, he was spotted by Championship side Leicester City and joined for a record transfer fee of £1 million in the non-professional league.

With his current goalscoring efficiency, he has scored 14 goals in six league games, an insane rate of more than two goals per game, and maintaining this goalscoring form is at least better than Jamie Vardy's performance in the non-professional league.

The only problem is that he is not English. Nor is it a nationality of other countries in the European Union.

I am Chinese, and of course I will not consider giving up my Chinese nationality.

This raises the issue of labor certification. According to the UK Department of Labour, non-EU players brought in by UK clubs must have played in 75% of the country's national team's international A-level matches in the past year and be ranked in the top 64 by the country's FIFA rankings. If both conditions are met, it can be issued, but there are also cases where the labor certification has been obtained through appeal, and there are many examples in reality. There is also a special regulation for players from countries with a high level of football who have not been selected for the national team, which can also be called "genius regulations".

As a Chinese student studying in the UK, Fu Bo, the current head coach and acting head coach of the Chinese national team, will definitely not recruit himself into the national team, and the ranking of the Chinese national team is also outside the 64th.

As for the "genius clause", will there be a talent playing in an amateur league?

Li Qingshan could only smile bitterly.

Over this time, he has regained the feeling he had played and is now more and more inclined to play professional football.

If you want to play professional football in England, it is currently impossible, and you can't get a labor certificate. Then the only way to do that is to be able to attract the attention of the rest of Europe.

The FA Cup, only in this tournament can it be discovered by scouts from the rest of Europe.

The FA Cup is the oldest football competition in the world, and football clubs of all levels in England can participate in this competition as long as they meet the conditions, and it is a one-to-one knockout format. This kind of single-game knockout refrigeration is frequent.

Premier League and Championship teams will join this traditional competition in the third round, as long as their team can make it to the third round and draw a professional team!

I have to score over their heads.

Li Qingshan set a small goal for himself.

................

FC United fans found that Li Qingshan was training harder than before. At the end of each training session. Li Qingshan will also practice shooting at the training ground.

Li Qingshan placed the football forty meters away from the goal in a line, then dribbled forward, ran two steps and then got up to shoot, although he was stuffy with the defender, but he imagined in his mind that someone was defending him.

In the evening, it is much easier to enter the world of football training camp. The system will automatically simulate two defenders, and Li Qingshan needs to find a gap to shoot with his feet under the defense of two players.

When he shook at first, because of his high center of gravity, he easily lost his balance when he made a move to get rid of it, and the ball he shot out was ridiculously off.

It took him practice after practice to find a little feeling.

The most important thing is the rhythm.

Receiving, dribbling, shooting.

The whole action should be done in one go.

He has to seize every time to strengthen his long-range shooting ability. He knows his header can be watched in the amateur arena, but against a Premier League and Championship team, it may not be so good, and his team-mates may not be able to pass a high ball that is suitable for a direct attack under the pressure of a professional team.

He must be able to do it on his own.

Long shots are one of them. He shoots very strongly, and he is just right for long-range shooting.

Time flies quickly under Li Qingshan's crazy practice, and they are about to face their first opponent in the FA Cup.

The FA Cup is coming!!
