[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Tottenham’s FA Cup opponent Marine FC is assisted by local Premier League teams.
The British Evening Standard announced on the 9th (Korean time) that Marine FC is receiving physical and qualitative support from local Premier League teams Liverpool and Everton.
Marine FC is in crisis ahead of the FA Cup round of 64 against Tottenham Hotspur on the 11th.
From the 2020 holiday season, the British government has imposed a blockade, and Marine FC, an amateur soccer team that is not an elite sports, cannot use both the stadium and the training ground.
Liverpool and Everton decided to provide their training grounds to Marine FC. In addition, Marine FC does not have a scouting program to analyze the opposing game. The Premier League teams also agreed to provide the video.
Marine manager Neil Young said,’Tottenham didn’t score much and are defensively strong and strong. We’ll find a way to survive the game longer with the help we got from our neighboring teams.
The two teams have the biggest league difference in FA Cup history. With the support of Liverpool and Everton in the face-to-face match between Premier League team Tottenham and 8th division regional team Marine FC, the match between the teams is drawing more attention.
