This year's FA Cup format is different from previous years, in order to ensure the excitement and excitement of the Cup, increase the uncertainty of the game, all the matches are changed to draws, and the last game of each round is over, and the next round of matches is directly drawn to determine the next round of matchups.

In the first round, the professional teams of the Chinese Super League will not participate, and the second division team and the amateur team will fight each other.

From the second round onwards, all teams will participate, and a draw will be drawn to determine the matchups, home and away matches.

Except for the finals, which are divided into two home and away games, the rest of the games are all single-game winners, and if it is a draw after 90 minutes, it will not enter overtime, and the winner will be decided directly by penalty kicks.

In such a game, the home advantage is obvious, so the draw is very important, not only to determine the opponent, but also to determine who can occupy the home advantage.

In the competition of cross-division teams, because of the large difference in strength, the home field advantage may not be so important, but the victory or defeat between teams in the same level may depend on which side the home field is located.

Home is so important, but not every team is willing to draw a home draw. Especially those amateur teams, they generally do not have a fixed home field, and they have temporarily rented out venues at a large price, and there are no spectators, but the security costs, rental costs, and fire and medical expenses are not less.

Instead of spending so much money to prepare for the home game, it is better to go to the away stadium to worry, at most there is a transportation and accommodation fee, and the Football Association also gives away subsidies, basically it doesn't cost much, and you can even earn a little.

With the first round a week to go, the draw was out.

Quancheng had good luck on Saturday, not only avoiding the stronger second division team and drawing the North River Elite Team, the champion of the North River Division Qualifying Tournament, but also drawing the home draw!

Seeing the results of the draw, both sides breathed a sigh of relief. Needless to say, Spring City had the advantage of being at home on Saturday. The North River elite also thinks they have drawn a lot.

In their opinion, Quancheng Saturday is also an amateur team, everyone is half a catty, and the eldest brother should not laugh at the second brother. Moreover, Hexi and Ludong Province are adjacent to each other, the journey is very close, and it takes a few hours to arrive by bus, and you can save a lot of money.

As for the home and away factors, they don't take it into account at all. I am an amateur team, and the cost of playing at home is more expensive than playing away. What's more, Springs Saturday is also an amateur team, how many fans can there be? Is there much difference between home and away when no one is paying attention?

But Gao Yuan wants to make a fuss about home advantage.

Gao Yuan wanted to win, it was for himself before, and now it is also for Xiaoxia. The rhetoric has already been spoken, and it will be played at least until the third round.

He didn't want to become a big liar who broke his word and got fat in Xiaoxia's eyes.

When I think of Xiaoxia's hopeful gaze full of tears, Gao Yuan's heart will involuntarily hurt.

God's old man's task can be ignored, and his promise to Xiaoxia cannot be disappointed!

But the team lost Xiaoxia, like a flying tiger folding its wings, and its strength was greatly reduced. As for how big this discount will be, Gao Yuan can't predict it.

So all he can do is try his best, take every advantage and try to win the game.

The advantage of home is one of the team's greatest strengths, and it must be played to the extreme.

In line with the idea of "three stinkers, beating Zhuge Liang", Gao Yuan held a team committee (expanded) meeting after training.

Except for Lao Wang, who was still lying in the hospital and could not attend the meeting, the rest of the team committee members, some player representatives and special guest Li Daquan all attended the meeting.

On the topic of "how to give full play to the home advantage", everyone brainstormed and spoke freely.

In the atmosphere of democracy and relaxation, everyone has expressed all kinds of unreliable opinions and suggestions.

The kidney-deficient man, who has always loved to pretend to be B, spoke first, and said incomprehensibly: "The so-called home advantage is nothing more than the right time, location, and people."

The honest and chubby central defender is a suitable person, and he asked stupidly: "What is the right time, the right place, and the right people?"

The kidney-deficient man said proudly: "The time of day is the seasonal climate."

For example, when our national team goes to Southeast Asia to play, it often suffers from the weather, where the temperature is hot, the humidity is high, and you can sweat when you stand still, so you often play abnormally in Southeast Asia.

However, Hexi and Ludong provinces are next to each other, all under a cloud, and there is no difference in climate, temperature, and humidity, which we don't have any advantage! ”

"Praise" the fat dun central defender asked: "What about the location?"

"Geographical advantages, mainly talking about geographical environment and site factors.

For example, if you build a home stadium on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the average team will have altitude sickness and difficulty breathing, so how can you play football?

Look at Ecuador, people's home stadium is on the plateau at an altitude of 3,600 meters, and the home game often kills Brazil and slaughters Argentina, and 6 flies! Absolute home dragons! But the real strength is limited, and it will become a worm as soon as it hits away. ”

Fat Dun said deflatedly: "Our two provinces are next to each other, the terrain is the same high, and they are all plains, what you said is the same as what you didn't say."

"There is also an important aspect of the location, the venue factor!

For example, if the field is sparse, it can definitely limit the performance of technical teams; If the home team is fast, water the turf hard.

Many teams in the Chinese Super League rely on such tricks to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction at home!

However, the turf of our provincial body is the best in the country, and anyone who kicks on it can only say two words: comfortable!

The Beihe elite's gang of dirt buns who have never seen the world, the first time they set foot on such a good venue, it is hard to guarantee that they will not be as happy as wild dogs! ”

When everyone heard this, they all thought of the scene when the team played the FA Cup qualifying match for the first time at the Taishan training base.

Fat Dun was dissatisfied: "Let you say that, our good site conditions have become the other party's advantage?"

The kidney-deficient man spread his hands and said helplessly: "No way, or use the former popular football field, where everyone is more familiar, there is no three-meter flat, and it will definitely be able to give full play to the geographical advantage."

was hit by a man with kidney deficiency, and everyone was a little deflated.

The kidney-deficient man was very satisfied with everyone's expressions, smiled secretly, and said triumphantly: "Don't worry, although the time and place are not advantageous, we still have people!"

Heard of the home whistle, right? Let's take advantage of the convenience of the home stadium to do a good job of refereeing in advance, let him eat and drink well and have fun, don't want to be cool, and definitely give the home team face on the field, a few key penalties are slightly biased, or give us a penalty or something, won't we win it?

Ha ha! ”

Gao Yuan smiled coldly and deliberately asked, "Who will be the public relations manager and accompany the referee to eat, drink and have fun?" ”

The kidney-deficient man raised his head heavily, and said with a straight face: "For the sake of the team, I will sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman, and I must be a good public relations officer, if I don't accompany the referee, I won't come back!"

"PR? Just be like you to be a Guan Gong! Gao Yuan scolded with a smile, "You dare to corrupt the referee, and you are not afraid of anti-gambling and anti-crime in football, and you will be arrested!"

Chinese football is bad enough, so don't add to the mess.

If we want to win, we will win with dignity, engage in these crooked ways, what is there to be proud of if we win!

Take 10,000 steps back and say, now you don't have a chance to corrupt the referee.

This year's referees were decided by drawing lots two days before the game, and the local football association was responsible for the reception, and contact with the team was not allowed at all. ”

The kidney-deficient man shrank his neck and muttered: "I'll just make a suggestion, if you don't listen, you won't listen, why are you so fierce?" But if you figure it out and corrupt the referee, you must remember to call me! ”

Everyone ignored him and said a number of unreliable plans.

Ma Zhu said, "Otherwise, let's go to the hotel where the guest team stays at night and beat gongs and drums and set off firecrackers, so that they can't sleep well!" ”

The kidney-deficient man said, "Call their team's room at night and say that special services are provided, hehe!" ”

"I've heard that some teams deliberately caused car accidents, let's find a few broken cars and have a collision with their bus, so that they are worried." ”

Fat Dun said: "If you don't deceive them, the bus will go through ten roads during rush hour!" Let them get stuck in traffic and can't catch up with the race"

Gao Fushuai also proposed, "Otherwise, give them chin beans for lunch!" ”

……

Gao Yuan's face became darker and darker the more he listened, and he really didn't notice that the group of guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes under his command were all bad in their stomachs! Bad ideas are the same as not wanting money, swishing out.

The next step for the team is to really strengthen the education of socialist core values......

Gao Yuan interrupted their speech with a dark face, "What kind of mess are you guys doing! Can you be useful all the time? ”

Everyone was stunned, these tricks are yin enough, why are they useless? Gao Yuan, how big do you want to play?

Li Daquan asked tentatively: "Otherwise, I'll find a middleman to contact the other party to see if I can buy this ball for 1.8 million yuan, or find a few brothers from the road......"

Gao Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, does our team have the potential to be villains?

Are we bandits or gangsters?

Can you think like a normal person?
