No matter how unrealistic the extravagant hope is, there is still a little hope after all. Therefore, the exit from the FA Cup is inevitable for Cambridge United, but of course, it is not an accident. Compared with the FA Cup, the League Cup is undoubtedly more regrettable for Cambridge United fans.

Just after the FA Cup match against Everton, in the League Cup semi-finals, Cambridge United lost to Burnley, a Championship team who was still in the Premier League last season, in the final penalty shoot-out defeat over two legs.

The reason why it is a pity is not only because of the way Cambridge United went out, but also because, in the two-legged battle, Cambridge United suffered serious interference from off-field factors, first of all, in the first leg of the 1-2 home defeat to Burnley, Cambridge United's goal was canceled for no reason, and secondly, in the second leg of the away game, after Francis helped Cambridge United overtake the score, the opponent adopted foul tactics against Francis, and finally forced Francis to go off the field early due to injury, and his departure, It also became the turning point of this game, although Cambridge United won this game, but lost the qualification for promotion.

After the League Cup, Tang Hua, who seems to be a good old man in the eyes of the outside world, was furious for the first time in the face of the media, not only publicly criticized the referee of this game, thinking that it was the connivance of the referee that made the other party so unscrupulous in fouls.

This is, of course, a harsh remark. Because this sentence not only believes that Burnley, who is currently fifth in the Championship, will eventually fail to be promoted, but also indicates that Tang Hua believes that his team will be promoted successfully this season.

For the media, of course. They don't care about Tang Hua's "cruel words", they are more concerned about whether Tang Hua will be punished by the FA for his remarks. For this reason, they once again set their sights on Lin Sen, who was always standing behind the scenes.

'Anyone who has eyes and has watched the game knows what's going on, it's true that Cambridge United is not a big team, but leaving in this way is not what I and no Cambridge United fan wants to see. We have appealed this game and hope the FA can give us a fair answer. “

When "caught" by reporters. Linsen did not remain silent and did not travel with the team to watch the away game against Burnley, but that did not prevent him from watching the game on television. In his opinion, Tang Hua definitely had enough reason to be dissatisfied, so although it seemed that silence would help control the development of the situation, he still chose to stand behind his head coach.

Because, Lin Sen knows very well what his head coach needs most at this time.

As for Tang Hua's "cruel words", he didn't mention it, of course, he didn't mention it. Just because he didn't hear it.

Cup competitions such as the FA Cup and League Cup are not the only task for Cambridge United in January, with five league games to play throughout January. Now, Cambridge United have won four games, which puts them up one place in the league table, meaning that they are no longer on the fringes of the play-off places. Instead, he was really in the play-off zone.

Entering the play-offs, of course, does not mean qualifying for promotion. At best, it will get a quarter of the chance of promotion, however, even so, it is obviously enough to make Cambridge United fans start to fantasize, and Tang Hua's "cruel words" are just the fantasies of Cambridge United fans, directly said.

So, Tang Hua's "cruel words" are they simply cruel words?

Not necessarily, I'm afraid

In the summer of this year, when the new season still began, neither Lin Sen nor Tang Hua thought that Cambridge United, which had just been promoted to the first division, could be promoted, so they all aimed at relegation, however, the plan could not catch up with the changes, this sentence was not all derogatory, for example, now, Lin Sen did not think that Cambridge United still wanted to relegate as a goal.

As he said to Tang Hua in the summer, whether Cambridge United can be promoted and how long it depends on one point, that is, the growth of players.

And now, the growth of young people has completely exceeded Lin Sen's expectations, since this is the case, upgrade? Why not? ――

On January 24, Cambridge United, who had lost two fronts in the previous week, welcomed old rivals Oxford United, which was the only remaining cup competition of the season, and in the end, Cambridge United drew 0-0 with their opponents, became the champions of the league championship with an aggregate score of 2-0, and advanced to the final.

Four days later, in their final league game of January, Cambridge United beat Bradford by three goals to make it five wins in a row and move up one place to fifth in the league table.

On this same day, Tang Hua received the fourth offer from Blackpool for George, and now, this offer has come to 800,000 pounds.

From 500,000, 550,000, 650,000, and now 800,000, it seems that Blackpool is bound to George, but Tang Hua's refusal is also more and more resolute every time, especially when he talks to George and gets the latter to have no personal contact with Blackpool.

It is worth mentioning that George is not the only player in the current Cambridge United team that has aroused the covetability of other teams, and Stam and Colin are also not short of offers, of course, Tang Hua's answers are simple and straightforward.

Under the premise that Tang Hua determined that Cambridge United would not bring in reinforcements in winter, the originally short winter transfer passed in a flash, and the time entered the second half of the season.

Compared with the Premier League with 20 teams, there are four more teams than the Premier League The first division is naturally not as intense as the former, however, when it comes to the frequency of events, it is far better than the former, of course, most of the big teams in the Premier League can go further in the cup, however, for most of the first division teams, the league with two games a week is already a common thing.

Losing both the FA Cup and the League Cup in January was a good thing for Cambridge United, because for this reason, Cambridge United gradually shifted most of their energy to the league, and after all five wins in January, in the whole of February and March, Cambridge United lost only two of the nine games, although the results are not as good as the previous month, but compared to the first half of the season, Cambridge United has been very significantly more consistent.

On 26 March, Cambridge United returned to Wembley Stadium last season, but this time not in the promotion play-offs, but in a final, the English League Championship final.

More than an hour has passed since the game, and it can be said that the game is more than halfway through, and the score at this time is 2-2, and the two sides are temporarily tied.

Sheffield United boss Carl Robinson stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest, his eyes fixed on the changing situation in the field, his face solemn. Compared with him, the expression on Tang Hua's face, who was standing not far from him, was much calmer.

The manager's face is a barometer of the situation in the game, and it is clear that Sheffield United are definitely not in a good situation on the pitch, although the two sides are still tied in the scoreline at the moment.

Karl Robinson has never hidden his optimism for Cambridge United, and his conversation with Hyypia is just one of the manifestations of this, and he has even publicly praised Cambridge United in interviews on more than one occasion as a big surprise in League One and in England football as a whole, for the simple reason that not all teams can achieve a double jump in two years, and then it seems likely to do so.

Thirty-six rounds, 20 wins, 7 draws, 9 losses, 60 points, third in the league, this is the current situation of Cambridge United in League One. Admittedly, only the top two in League One will have a chance to qualify directly, however, I am afraid that neither Karl Robinson's Sheffield United nor second-placed Sfield Town have dared to let their guard down.

Because, the gap between Cambridge United and them is only three points and five points, and the league has a full ten rounds.

This is beyond Carl Robinson's bullish outlook on Cambridge United.

Because, to judge a team that is on the same battlefield as you, first of all, you have to make sure that you are far ahead, and now, Sheffield United are still the league leaders, but Cambridge United are already the challengers.

Perhaps, it's not just the challengers.

At this time, there was a loud noise in the stands, and Carl Robinson's heart suddenly shrank.

It was Cambridge United who attacked, and it was the damn Francis in Robinson's heart at this time who took the ball.

I saw Francis face the defense of two Sheffield United players, first used an acceleration to shake off one of them in disguise, and then a crotch piercing, almost easily brought the ball out of the bag between the two......

"Where the fuck did this pop up......" Carl Robinson cursed in his heart.

Francis certainly didn't pop out of nowhere, but since he exploded in the second half of the season, almost every manager of a team that has played against Cambridge United has inevitably muttered something close to a dirty word in his heart.

In this game, Francis passed and shot, and, it seems, his praise is far from over.

The breakthrough Francis slammed into the Sheffield United penalty area like a high-speed train, and then, after he passed the third player, Sheffield United seemed to finally remember how to deal with him, but he chose the wrong place.

A foul, a penalty.

Carl Robinson, who was on the sidelines, whimpered in his heart, because he knew that there was no play.

Two minutes later, the score was 3-2.

Half an hour later, the score screen above the stands became four to two. At the same time, the air over the stadium remembered the radio.
