However, if you give up the FA Cup directly, I am afraid that there is no way to give an explanation to the fans of the club.

After all, in its history, Arsenal FC has won the FA Cup 15 times. The most recent FA Cup title was won in 2017.

Manchester United are second all-time, having won the FA Cup 12 times.

Tottenham Hotspur won eight FA Cups, most recently in 1991. It's so old that it's so old that it's obscure......

Therefore, Arsenal, which is the first in the history of the FA Cup, must have the burden of the championship.

The best thing Professor Wenger can do is send a semi-main team to play in the FA Cup.

Also before Arsenal start the FA Cup schedule,

Teams in the lower divisions of the Premier League have already played two laps of competition.

Because according to the rules, the Premier League and the Champions League teams join the competition in the third round.

The FA Cup is played over eight rounds.

Before the fifth round, if each round is tied within 90 minutes, there will be a rematch, and the rematch will be exchanged between the two teams. If the rematch is tied within 90 minutes, extra time will be required to decide the winner, and if the winner is not decided after extra time, the winner will be decided on penalties.

In the semi-finals, it will be held at a neutral venue, and if the teams are tied within 90 minutes, extra time will be played to decide the winner. (Extra time: 15 minutes for each of the first and second halves.) If there is no winner in extra time, the winner will be decided by penalty.

In the end, the rules for the finals are the same as for the semi-finals.

......

Arsenal's first FA Cup game starts on January 6.

They travelled away to play Blackpool, a side from League One.

For this game, Professor Wenger's concern is not actually the physical consumption of the team, but the fear that the main players will be injured in the game.

Therefore, the important main players did not play in this game, although they were included in the team squad......

Arsenal opened the game and took advantage of a corner kick to score early.

With a goal in hand, Arsenal's side played with ease, easily controlling the tempo of the game, and Blackpool's League One side had few shots on goal.

The situation was meant to be a win-win situation.

But in the second half,

Arsenal Academy midfielder Joe Willock was injured in an accident while battling the ball, and Blackpool striker Gnadar was suspected of fouling to steal the ball before smashing the ball into the corner.

Blackpool 1:1 Arsenal!

Not only were Arsenal equalised, but academy youngster Joe Willock was injured and couldn't continue the game anymore!

The situation has changed subtly!!

Professor Arsene Wenger thought about it and chose to put the equation on the bench as a substitute.

As for the win or loss of this game, Professor Wenger did not care much.

However, the youth players on the field are a little angry, because the style of the English One team on the opposite side is a little dirty, and even if there are many small actions, they actually used fouls to score a goal!

Arsenal don't win this game, and the academy players can't swallow this breath!

So, in the 78th minute, Blackpool's defence could not withstand the pressure and striker Eddie Nketiah created a penalty opportunity.

Arsenal's Academy players were a little frustrated by the crucial penalty and didn't know who to play because their captain's armband was worn by goalkeeper Petr Cech.

Youngster Nketiah wondered if he should kick the penalty he created.

However, Professor Arsene Wenger suddenly spoke up and motioned for the equation to take the penalty.

When the domestic commentator saw this scene, he was immediately surprised: "What does this mean? How is the equation to take this penalty? Was it what manager Arsene Wenger told him to do? ”

The live commentary couldn't help but start guessing,

"Audience friends, this is a bit interesting, I think this is Wenger is going to train the equation specially, maybe in the future, I will have to let the equation wear the captain's armband, tsk tsk, is this the meaning of the captain to be sold on the shelves??"

"Hahaha, of course I'm just kidding! Now this penalty is quite crucial, it depends on whether the equation can be scored!! ”

"If you don't score and the score is 1:1, then Arsenal will have to play another FA Cup knockout match with Blackpool, which is very deadly!"

"If you don't get fine, the equation will face a lot of criticism!"

"It's up to him to see if he can withstand the pressure!!"

no doubt

Arsenal certainly can't accept another FA Cup knockout game!

This will undoubtedly add a lot of uncertainty and will definitely affect the team's contention for next season's Champions League qualification.

This is clear to everyone, including the equations!

At this time, several cameras in the stadium were pointed at the equation.

In the stands behind the goal, the home fans began to cheer him wildly!

Feeling the invisible and huge pressure gathered at the scene,

The equation took a deep breath,

Well, he kind of understood why Professor Wenger had allowed himself to take the penalty.

The purpose was obviously to let him experience this atmosphere similar to the final.

Young players should experience this kind of critical moment more, so as not to fall off the chain at the most critical moment in the future.

Having said that,

It was like the first penalty of his career!

"Rookie, don't be scared into peeing your pants!!"

Goalkeeper Howard was already jumping left and right in front of the goal, patting his gloves and not forgetting to taunt the equation.

For such inferior psychological tactics,

Naturally, the equation will not be bothered.

Stand in front of the door, with your hands on your hips, just waiting for the referee's whistle.

The academy team-mates at the back lined up, looking at the back of the equation, they were all a little worried about not being able to score a penalty.

Including Professor Wenger, who was standing on the sidelines, his eyes were motionless, his hands clasped together.

"This kid usually practices penalty kicks, right?" Professor Wenger asked uncertainly.

The teaching assistant next to him thought for a while before saying, "There should be ......."

“......”

Professor Wenger suddenly regretted it.

If this penalty is not scored, will it hit the confidence of the young people?

It was also at this moment that the whistle finally blew!

"Is it on the left?"

"Or on the right?!"

Goalkeeper Howard suddenly looked like a big enemy, staring at the footsteps of the equation!

The equation moves,

Ran two steps decisively, without any feints, without any rhythm pauses, and the upper body was slightly slanted!

I kicked it out directly with the inside instep of my left foot!!

Bang!

He almost kicked a piece of the turf off!

The soccer ball flies out at a 45-degree angle! Suddenly lifted the net!!

Goalkeeper Howard guessed the right direction, but he had no chance to block the ball at all!

Others are stupid!!

As soon as I tilted my body, the football had already flown into the goal!!

The ball was so fast that it was almost an afterimage flying by, and the goalkeeper didn't have a chance to shoot at all!

"Pretty!!"

"Perfect!!"

"What a cool shot!!"

"Goalkeeper Howard was already stunned, he didn't react at all!!"

"Worthy of the equation, he broke the historical record again!! Became the first player to score in the FA Cup!! ”
