Chapitre 109: A blockbuster encounter vs Liverpool

Sitting on the bench, Sam watched as his teammates lined up against some of the best players in the world.

The feeling in his chest was not the best, but he stayed calm.

'I already did all I could, now is to wait for the repercussions of my actions'.

Since standing up to his coach after the training session, he never came any closer to making Marco Silva's starting XI lineup. And not just that, these days, the coach barely looked him in the eye and that did not bode well to his career.

Sam just hoped it was not too bad to be salvaged yet.

Today, Craven Cottage was filled to the brim with almost 30,000 fans.

Just like Sam, the enthusiastic Fulham FC fans knew that the Carabao Cup was their only true chance of breaking their silverware drought if they were to win one this season, that was why they came out in droves to support their team.
