The league is over, but Chelsea's game this season is not over yet. The team still has a second championship of the season to strive for. The final of the FA Cup on May 12th is Portsmouth. Speaking of Chelsea's opponent, it should be said that it is the most dramatic team in the history of the FA Cup.

In the Premier League this season, with the departure of many stars last season, Portsmouth has become the veritable bottom team in the Premier League this season, maintaining and finally officially relegated. Compared with the decadence of the league, Portsmouth has been smooth sailing in the FA Cup field and finally met Chelsea in the final. If the final result is that Portsmouth defeated Chelsea, they will also set a record that is to win the FA Cup championship as a relegated team...

On the official website of Portsmouth, the club has issued a unified call from top to bottom, from staff, players to fans, asking Portsmouth fans to go to Wembley Stadium to cheer for the team and create miracles. The team's main player Pikionne also issued a call for on-site viewing on his Twitter. In just a few minutes, the number of comments has reached 100 digits. It can be seen that no matter what club it is, the enthusiasm and support of fans will always be the greatest.

In fact, Pikionne's moves were already full. When Portsmouth was determined to be relegated to the Championship next season, but successfully entered the FA Cup final, local fans in Portsmouth had already begun to organize fans to go to the scene to fight for the team's final honor.

Especially after confirming that the final opponent was Chelsea, the fans' enthusiasm became even more enthusiastic. What else is more exciting than defeating the Premier League champion? What's more, no one can resist the temptation of the championship.

"We are going to cheer for the team when we go to London. The championship belongs to the Portsmouth people!"

"Haha, go forward, go forward, Wembley Stadium! We are the champions, long live Portsmouth!"

A series of extremely inflammatory posts aroused the greatest enthusiasm of Portsmouth fans, but now it is not whether you are willing to watch the game or not, but whether you have the chance to watch the game. Because Chelsea drew home draws, nearly two-thirds of the seats were given to the Blues fans. It can be said that tickets are hard to get now.

Just as Portsmouth, a small English city, was mobilized, their club bus had already entered London, and the buses could see the bustling London city scenery from afar, but no one was in the mood to enjoy the scenery outside the window at this moment. Portsmouth players, like their fans, came for the championship.

After entering the hotel where he stayed, the team's head coach issued a ban, not allowing any players to go outside to fool around. Everyone must stay in the hotel, room, gym, restaurant, and massage room. If you have nothing to do, you can rest early. In short, everyone must ensure that they will achieve the best mental state tomorrow.

Similarly, Chelsea, which was not troubled by the journey, had a small training session the day before the game, or after a game, everyone returned to their homes. Originally, Dimateo's arrangement was that the night before the game, and all the players checked in the hotel collectively. Later, I thought about it, I took this opportunity to observe which ones had a poor attitude towards the game, and it happened to be cleared out in the summer.

However, Di Matteo was obviously too worried. For all Chelsea players who lost the Champions League, no one cherished the opportunity to the finals more than them. No one was thinking about spending time outside this night, and they were all staying at home obediently. After having dinner and practicing for two little things, Qin Tian returned to the room with a refreshing look. After taking a shower, he hugged Jessica and went to sleep. He had to abstinence before the game, which is something professional players of all levels understand.

Chelsea's boss Mr. Abu attaches great importance to this final. Although the opponent's strength is not strong, it can be clearly seen from the recent feedback that the opponent obviously does not want to go through the motions. This final final is destined to be a cruel game.

Obviously, Abu, who is used to using money, knows very well that as the boss, he doesn't just cheer up and shout slogans, but he also has to use something else to stimulate his players. Before the training that day, Abu also brought his checkbook to the training ground, "We are brilliant this season, but the regrets still exist, but if we can win two championships, I will be more satisfied. Although this is only the final of the FA Cup, I will not be stingy. If we win the championship in the end, each player will get 1.

The reward of 00,000 pounds, the player who scored goals and assists received another 50,000, and the player who came on the bench received 30,000, creating a penalty and a free kick. If the ball is scored, it is counted as an assist. Finally, if the game is a big victory, then the above rewards will be added to each of the above rewards. It is obvious that Abu, a businessman-born man, knows that at this time, everything else is nonsense. What is the purpose of players playing football, one is glory, and the other is money. Abu believes that Portsmouth on the other side, the opponent's boss must do the same thing as himself.

Abu didn't say what the reward for winning the runner-up was, and no one would ask, because everyone had only one thought in their hearts: Champion! Champion! What we want is the championship! Only the champion is glory. Who still remembers the names of the runner-ups in history, and the foil!

If even Portsmouth can't win, will Chelsea be willing? Then Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and even Tottenham will not laugh out loud.

The FA Cup's status in England cannot be ignored. This men's elimination football cup named and organized by the English Football Association is the oldest football match in the world. It includes clubs of all levels in England, and knockout matches are held one-on-one with each other. In the game, low-level clubs often eliminate high-level clubs and unpopularity.

There is no seed team in the FA Cup. The match and home and away are completely determined by the draw. If the game draws, the two sides will exchange home and away rematches. If the draw is again, overtime and penalty kicks will be held. In August of each year, all non-league clubs under the English Football Association have basic facilities will start to play the elimination preliminaries.

During the 2005 season, a total of 660 clubs participated in the FA Cup, breaking 1921.

The record for 656 teams in the 22 season. The additional preliminaries are followed by preliminaries, four rounds of qualifying and six rounds of official matches, and finally semi-finals and finals. Other non-league and league clubs are allowed to skip some rounds of the FA Cup, such as the Champions League and the Premier League clubs that are allowed to directly participate in the third round of official matches.

The FA Cup finals were traditionally located at Wembley Stadium in London, but there was also a period of time when it was changed to Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, because of the reconstruction of Wembley Stadium. After May 2007, the finals were returned to Wembley Stadium.

The reason why the FA Cup is so valued by clubs of all levels in England is that teams that win the FA Cup can qualify for the first round of the Europa League the following year. If the team qualifies for the UEFA Champions League because of the league ranking, the runner-up of the FA Cup also qualifies for the UEFA Champions League, then the UEFA Champions League quota will be given to other teams based on the ranking of the English Premier League.

Therefore, no matter what the final result is, Portsmouth will definitely participate in the qualifying round of the Champions League next season, which is why low-level teams are so eager for the FA Cup.

In the history of English football, the FA Cup is the most likely to eliminate high-level teams, and the teams that create these miracles will be called "giants killers". According to a survey data, the probability of low-level teams eliminating high-level teams in a FA Cup is 99.85%, which shows that this is a hotbed of unpopularity. The probability of a low-level team eliminating teams two levels higher than oneself is 48.8%, while the level of high-level teams is 39.28%. The history of the recent victory over top-level teams by "non-professional league teams" is traced back to 1988

In the 1989 season, Sutton United defeated Coventry in the League One.

An upset is a major highlight of every FA Cup event. Not only the media and fans are interested, but high-level clubs also want to see each other's jokes. For a period of time, small clubs that eliminated large clubs will always become famous in one battle, and are nicknamed "scattered the league". The most famous one is Yoville, which defeated professional league teams 20 times, won the English football world, but the team has entered the professional league sequence (in the English League One) and cannot continue this record.

The second-level team has won the championship in the history of the FA Cup, and no third-level team has won the championship so far. Of course, for non-professional teams, being able to enter the third round is already considered the biggest victory. So far, Arsenal and Manchester United have reached the finals 17 times, Manchester United have won the championship 11 times, Arsenal 10 times, and Tottenham Hotspur 8 times. Two teams have won the championship for three consecutive years, Rangers and Blackburn. The most unfortunate team is Leicester City, who have been defeated after reaching the finals four times.

This year's FA Cup has created another history. The FA Cup final staged a "head-end showdown" for the first time. League champion Chelsea faced Portsmouth, which is at the bottom of the league. This is an opportunity for the Portsmouth people to create history and also their chance to clear the shame of the league.

As the saying goes, "There must be a brave man under a heavy reward." On such a stage full of miracles, no one can ensure that he will win the final championship glory. Past results do not represent everything that will happen in tomorrow's game. Just as after Abu left, Dimateo said, "The boss's generosity is relative. Don't ignore your opponent. Now in front of you, but there is still a last obstacle. Only by killing the other party can you have your glory and money. If you lose, you are not a big deal. I don't know what you think, but if we win the runner-up, I, Robert Dimateo, have no face to ask for this and that."

Yes, the result is above everything else, this is the cruelest thing about competitive sports…
