In this dark horse matchup, Leicester City had the last laugh.

This result did not surprise the public.

Facing Leicester City, which has the strongest attacking firepower in the Championship, Sheffield United, whose strikers have been dumb for most of the season, are unlikely to pose any threat to Leicester City even if they defend well.

After all, in football, no matter how strong the defense is, you still need to score goals to beat the opponent...

Two days later, the results of the other three matches were also released.

The final four of the FA Cup in the 13~14 season are the Premier League team "Gunners" Arsenal, the Premier League team "Tiger" Hull City, the Championship team "relegation maniac" Wigan Athletic, and the Championship hegemon "Blue Fox" Leicester City!

In addition to the highlights of the Premier League fixtures, Match of the Day, which aired on weekend nights, also featured an analysis of the chances of the FA Cup semi-finalists.

First of all, the strongest on paper among the semi-finals - Arsenal!

Arsenal haven't had a good time lately.

Entering February, Arsenal, who occupied the top position in the table for the first 15 rounds, began to fall behind.

They were beaten 5-1 away by Liverpool and then drew a goalless draw at home to Manchester United.

Although facing Sunderland at the bottom of the table in the second half of the month, they won a big 4-1 victory.

But in March, it lost to Stoke City, the "city in the sky" downstream.

Even if the team's main players are injured, their form has been up and down.

Arsenal are still in contention for the Premier League.

However, since winning the FA Cup in the 04~05 season, Arsenal has not won the championship for nine years.

Arsene Wenger and his disciples are in dire need of a trophy to prove to the world that Arsenal are still a strong team that can compete for the title!

So, whether it's the Premier League or the FA Cup, Arsenal want to fight until the last minute!

Next, there is Hull City, which is also in the Premier League.

Even when they faced Newcastle at home on the first day of March, they lost four to one.

However, Hull City remain 12th in the table, mid-table.

This season's relegation task is still relatively easy.

This allows them to focus more on the FA Cup.

In its original history, Hull City made it all the way to this season's FA Cup final with Arsenal at Wembley Stadium without worrying about relegation.

Finally, there are the two dark horses that have performed well this season.

Leicester City vs Wigan Athletic!

At the end of the 33rd round of the league, Wigan Athletic is only in seventh place, and the top two are basically hopeless.

If they want to be promoted to the Premier League, they can only do so through the promotion play-offs.

Therefore, they must hold on to a top-six finish to keep the possibility of promotion to the Premier League.

As for Leicester City's league situation, it is much better than Wigan Athletic.

The league occupies the top position and is already more than ten points ahead of third place.

Even if you focus on the cup competition for the time being, there is no possibility of overturning the league with all the substitutes.

For Leicester's manager and players, reaching the FA Cup semi-finals was a surprise.

It is also another opportunity for them to make new history.

If they reach the FA Cup final, their names will be etched in the club's history, whether they win the title or not!

Because, this will be Leicester City's first FA Cup final in 46 years since the 1968~69 season!

And there is only one game left before Leicester City accomplishes this great achievement!

The day after Matchday's broadcast, the FA held a live draw for the FA Cup semi-finals.

Leicester gathered at the home of captain Morgan to watch the draw.

As the crowd gathered around the TV waited with bated breath, the draw ended quickly.

Leicester City drew Hull City, and Arsenal drew Wigan Athletic!

Of the three opponents, the strongest is definitely Arsenal.

The second Hull City, the weakest is Wigan Athletic.

Such a result is very acceptable for everyone in Leicester City.

Captain Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said what everyone was thinking:

"At least I didn't draw Arsenal..."

"yes..."

Everyone looked at each other and smiled.

At this point, Vardy opened his arms and said confidently: "Besides, even Chelsea we are eliminated, who can stop us?!" ”

Jamie Vardy has been in explosive form lately, scoring in consecutive games, and his confidence has never been better.

Hearing Vardy's words, the rest of Leicester City agreed:

"yes, Chelsea can't stop us, what about Arsenal?!"

"What kind of shit is Hull City?"

Looking at his teammates who were aroused by his emotions, Vardy raised his hand and clenched his fist, and roared with a slightly hideous face:

"That's right, guys, let's kill Hel first! Reach the finals! ”

Looking at Vardy's confident and domineering appearance, Ling Feng suddenly had an illusion.

He seemed to see the all-powerful Vardy of the Blue Fox's miracle period.

In the next second, everyone in Leicester City was infected by Vardy's words, and couldn't help shouting in unison:

"Kill Hull City and make it to the finals!"

"Kill Hull City and make it to the final!!"

"Kill Hull City and make it to the final!!"

。。。

The semi-finals of the FA Cup will be held in mid-April.

Therefore, in order to lock in the promotion places in advance, and in order to concentrate on preparing for the FA Cup semi-finals in mid-April, the coaching staff led by Pearson unanimously decided to try to win all the games in March!

Between mid-March and the end of March, Leicester City will face a wave of hellish fixtures in the league that are tougher than the devil's:

On March 12, they played away against Barnsley, the vice-captain.

On March 15, they hosted 18th-ranked Blackpool.

On March 22, away to Blackburn.

On March 26, he played at home against the bottom team Yeoville.

And the most crucial game on March 29, away to Burnley, who are second in the table!

The Championship has four more teams than the Premier League, which means eight more games, plus the FA Cup and League Cup, which makes the competition more intensive.

Thankfully, Leicester City have a huge points advantage in the league and can be generously rotated.

Moreover, among these teams, the opponents except Blackburn and Burnley are relatively weak.

Even if you don't have to use all the main forces, you can easily take down your opponent.

A wave of league wins, one after another in the cup to overturn the Premier League teams, so that Leicester City's players slowly developed a strong self-confidence in their hearts:

No matter who the opponent is, we win!

For professional footballers, self-confidence is very important.

With self-confidence, you can make technical moves freely on the field, and only then can you dare to break through and confront your opponents!

With the motto "We in Leicester City are invincible!" "Leicester City will be the first to come to Barnsley, South Yorkshire, against the vice-league captain Barnsley!
