10. On to the Quarter-Finals: vs Arsenal
Everyone is talking about Leicester City's victory!
The media is buzzing over Leicester City's win against Manchester United. Kevin Kraut scored an incredible goal from 45 meters out!
Alex Ferguson said: "We didn't lose to Leicester City, we lost to Kevin Kraut!"
Die-hard Manchester United fans responded: "Kevin Kraut is insanely strong! We're shocked by his performance—he's only 16 years old? He's turning 17 soon? This kid is a powerhouse!"
Arsène Wenger: "We'll give it our all to prove we're better than Manchester United! I'm not going to underestimate Kevin Kraut!"
Kevin Kraut: "Leicester City will fight with everything we have! Win or lose, no one knows. Let's see what happens on December 19, 2007!"
Author's Note: (This is a work of fiction, please remember that!)
Kevin Kraut adds: "The FA Cup is still far away—we're aiming to win both the Carling Cup and the FA Cup. There's nothing wrong with hoping, right?"
Many say Kevin Kraut is overconfident, some even say he's arrogant! Some believe Leicester City made it this far because of luck, and that Manchester United only lost due to bad fortune!
Andy King commented: "The media is garbage. Stop dragging us down. Kevin has worked so hard—do you really think Leicester made it this far just by luck?!"
Ian Holloway: "I don't care if people say we were lucky. It's funny they didn't watch the game properly. We gave it our all. Kevin played incredibly. Not everyone can score from 45 meters out."
...
Kevin trains harder than anyone. He's the last to leave, the first to arrive, and he never lets his training spirit drop. He's a consistent young man receiving lots of praise. Kevin wants to prove he can be even better and is determined to score more than three goals in every match!
Rumors are flying that big clubs are trying to sign Kevin Kraut! Real Madrid has shown interest, and Manchester United doesn't want to be left behind—they want to sign Kevin too!
Kevin Kraut: "I love Leicester City very much! I hope to play here longer, but I don't know. It all depends on whether the club wants to keep me or not."
Offers from major clubs are tempting, but hardcore Leicester fans always say one thing: "Kevin is not for sale! Kevin is not for sale!"
They're even looking for the owner of Leicester City, Milan Mandarić!
Milan Mandarić has said nothing when approached by reporters and journalists. They came searching for the truth, but got no solid answers.
