Even if there is no real desire, there is still a little hope... ≦ Therefore, it is inevitable for Cambridge United to get out of the FA Cup. Of course, this is not an accident after all. Compared with the FA Cup, the exit of the League Cup undoubtedly makes Cambridge United fans feel more regretful.

Just after the FA Cup match against Everton, in the semi-finals of the League Cup, Cambridge United lost to Burnley, the champion team who was still in the Premier League last season, and unfortunately stopped in the League Cup.

The reason for this is a regret is not only because of Cambridge United's way of being eliminated, but also because in the two rounds of competition, Cambridge United suffered serious interference from off-court factors. First, in the first round of home loss to Burnley, Cambridge United's goal was cancelled for no reason. Secondly, in the away game of the second round, after Francis helped Cambridge United overtake the score, the opponent adopted a foul tactic against Francis, which ultimately forced Francis to end up early due to injury. His outcome also became the turning point of the game. Although Cambridge United won this game, they lost the qualification to advance.

After the League Cup, Tang Hua, who seemed to be a good man to the outside world, was furious for the first time when facing the media. Not only did he publicly criticize the referee of the game, he believed that it was the referee's indulgence that made the opponent so unscrupulous in fouls. Given that the injured Francis was currently in unclear injuries, Tang Hua, who was a little angry, even gave up the "harsh words" he saw next season's Championship.

This is of course a harsh statement, because this sentence not only believes that Burnley, currently ranked fifth in the Championship, failed to upgrade, but also indicates that Tang Hua believes that his team will be upgraded successfully this season.

Of course, for the media, they do not care about Tang Hua's "harsh 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 is always standing behind the scenes.

"Anyone who has eyes and has watched the game knows what's going on. Cambridge United is indeed not a big team, but leaving in this way is not me, nor is it any Cambridge United fans want to see. We have filed a complaint about this game and hope the FA can give us a fair answer."

When he was "catching" by reporters, Lin Sen did not remain silent. He did not go with the team to watch the game with Burnley away game, but this did not prevent him from watching the game on TV. In his opinion, Tang Hua definitely had enough reason to be dissatisfied, so although silence seemed to help control the development of the situation, he still chose to stand behind his head coach.

Because Lin Sen knew very well what his head coach needed most at this time.

As for Tang Hua's "harsh words", he did not mention them. Of course, not mentioning them does not mean that he pretended that he had never heard of them.

Cup matches like the FA Cup and the League Cup are not the only tasks for Cambridge United in January. Cambridge United still has five league games to play in the whole month, and now Cambridge United has won four games. This has raised their rankings in the league one more time, which means that now, Cambridge United no longer hovered on the edge of the playoffs. Instead, it is actually standing in the playoffs area.

Entering the playoffs certainly does not mean that you are qualified for upgrades. At best, you will get a quarter of the chance of upgrading. However, even so, it is obviously enough to make Cambridge United fans start to fantasize. Tang Hua's "harsh words" are just to directly express the fantasy of Cambridge United fans.

So, is Tang Hua’s “harsh words” just a ruthless word?

I'm afraid not.

This summer, when the new season begins, neither Lin Sen nor Tang Hua thinks that Cambridge United, which has just been promoted to the First Division, can be upgraded, so they all set their goal for relegation. However, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, which is not entirely derogatory. For example, now, Lin Sen does not think that Cambridge United still wants to regard relegation as its goal.

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

And now, the growth of young people has completely exceeded Lin Sen's expectations. Since that's the case, upgrade? Why not?

---------------------

January 24, Cambridge United, which lost two-front battles within a week, welcomed its old rival Oxford United, which is the only remaining cup match for Cambridge United this season. In the end, Cambridge United, who played away, tied the opponent with a total score of 2-0, became the champion of the South of the League Championship and advanced to the finals.

Four days later, in the last league game in January, Cambridge United beat Bradford three away goals, ushering in a five-game winning streak, ranking second in the league, ranking fifth.

On this day, Tang Hua received the fourth offer from Blackpool for George. Now, the offer has reached 800,000 pounds.

From 500,000, 550,000, 650,000, and now 800,000, Blackpool seems to be determined to win George, but Tang Hua's rejection is also more determined every time, especially when he talked with George and got the latter without having contact with Blackpool.

It is worth mentioning that George is not the only player in Cambridge United that has attracted the attention of other teams. Stam and Colin are also not short of quotes. Of course, Tang Hua's answer is simple and clear no.

On the premise that Tang Hua confirmed that Cambridge United would not sign in the winter, the already short winter transfer passed by in a flash and time entered the second half of the season.

Compared with the Premier League with twenty teams, the first-tier league, which has four more teams than the Premier League, is naturally not as intense as the former. However, when it comes to frequent matches, it is far better than the former. Of course, most Premier League teams can go further in the cup matches. However, for most A-tier teams, a double-game league in a week is already a common thing.

It is not a good thing for Cambridge United to lose both the FA Cup and the League Cup in January, because because of this, Cambridge United gradually shifted most of its energy to the league. After winning all five games in January, Cambridge United lost only two games in nine games in February and March. Although the results are not as good as January, Cambridge United's stability has been significantly improved compared to the first half of the season.

On March 26, after coming to Wembley Stadium last season, Cambridge United came here again, but this time it was not an upgrade play-off, but a final, the English League Championship final.

More than an hour has passed since the game, and it can be said that half of the game is now. At this time, the score is 2 to 2, and the two sides temporarily tied.

Sheffield United coach Carl Robinson stood on the sidelines with his hands in his chest, staring at the changes in the situation on the court, and his face was solemn. Compared with him, Tang Hua, who was standing not far away, looked much more calm.

The head coach's face can be said to be a barometer of the game situation. Obviously, the situation on the field of Sheffield United is definitely not good, although both sides are still tied in the score.

Carl Robinson never hides his optimism about Cambridge United. The conversation with Hypia is just one of the performances. He even publicly praised Cambridge United as a surprise in the League One this season and even the entire English football world more than once. The reason is very simple. Not all teams can achieve a two-level jump within two years, and then it seems that it is very likely to achieve a three-level jump.

Thirty-six rounds, 20 wins, 7 draws and nine losses, 60 points, third in the league, this is the current situation of Cambridge United in the League One. It is true that only the top two in the League One can get the opportunity to advance directly, but I am afraid that neither Carl Robinson's Sheffield United nor the second-place Jisfield will dare to relax their vigilance.

Because the gap between Cambridge United and them is only three points and five points, while there are still ten rounds in the league.

This has exceeded Carl Robinson's optimism about Cambridge United.

Because if you dare to comment on a team on the same battlefield as you, first of all, you have to ensure that you are far ahead. Now, although Sheffield United is still the leader in the league, Cambridge United is already a challenger.

Perhaps, it's not just a challenger.

At this time, a huge noise came from the stands, and Carl Robinson's heart suddenly shrank.

The attacker was Cambridge United, and the one who took the ball was the damn Francis in Robinson's heart at this time.

Francis faced the defense of two Sheffield United players. He first used an acceleration to throw away one of them in disguise, and then another was a crotch, almost easily bringing the ball out of the two's double-teams...

"Where the hell came out..." Carl Robinson couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Of course, Francis didn't suddenly pop up, but since his outbreak began in the second half of the season, almost every head coach of a team that played against Cambridge United will inevitably have such a swearing mutter in his heart.

In this game, Francis made a pass and shot, and it seemed that his praise was far from over.

Francis, who broke through, crashed into Sheffield United's penalty area like a high-speed train. Then, after he passed the third player, Sheffield United seemed to finally remember what method to deal with him, but he chose the wrong place.

One foul, one penalty kick.

Carl Robinson on the sidelines said in his heart, because he knew that there was no chance.

Two minutes later, the score became three to two.

Half an hour later, the score screen above the stands became four to two. At the same time, radio was remembered on the sky above the court.
