Chapter 503 Surprising location
On this day, Real Madrid's bus drove into the Mestalla Stadium.
This season, it is not the first time that Real Madrid players have come to this stadium. The last time they came, they challenged Valencia away in the league. This stadium is Valencia's home court.
In Spain, the Mestalla Stadium has a very important historical significance. From the moment the stadium was built, it has experienced a century of history in Spain. In the turmoil, it was demolished, used as a prison, and a football field. It was still used as a plantation, but after the unrest resumed, the football field became a football field again, and Valencia remains Valencia.
This is the Mestalla Stadium, a stadium full of stories.
Now, the Mestalla Stadium can accommodate 55000 fans. It is said that Valencia is planning to expand again in order to expand its influence in the league recently. It is worth mentioning that this is the 11th expansion in the history of the stadium. .
Of course, these are all about the stadium. What is important is that today the 05/06 Copa del Rey final will be held here. The two participating teams are Real Madrid and Espanyol.
Espanyol, also known as Royal Espanyol, was founded in 1900, just a year after their city rivals Barcelona.
In history, the Spaniards have not achieved any achievements to be proud of. Perhaps the cup championship is considered one, but since the start of the Copa del Rey, they have not had their share.
But it is worth mentioning that last season, the Spaniards performed very strongly. They once surpassed Villarreal in the 34th round of the league and ranked No.4 in the league. This is the best they have achieved in the past 10 years. best result.
In fact, compared to their rivals in the same city, Barcelona, the Spaniards are even inferior to Atletico Madrid, which competes with Real Madrid. However, the Spaniards are very popular in the Barcelona area, where they have many more fans than Barcelona fans.
This situation may be similar to Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in Madrid. The Spaniard is a purely Catalan club.
But now, such a La Liga team has entered the final of the Copa del Rey, and they will have a showdown with Real Madrid here to compete for the Copa del Rey trophy.
For this trophy, the Spaniard is obviously determined to win it. In this season, their ranking in La Liga has been at the same level, and the UEFA Cup has also been eliminated. Now there is only one cup to play. After finishing this cup, for the Spaniard In other words, maybe the league is over, and they have nothing to fight for.
On the other hand, Real Madrid is different. This final is just the beginning of Real Madrid's championship. Therefore, the Spaniard's coach Lotina looked very confident before the game, because he knew that Real Madrid would definitely not send all the main lineup to play. form is very unfavorable.
In the locker room before the game, Carlo gave a speech to the players. At first he only talked about game-related issues, but in the end, he used the championship to boost the morale of the players.
"The current form is very clear. Whether we are in the Champions League or the league, we are likely to win the final championship. Now, we are going to win the first championship here - the Copa del Rey. If we win this After winning the championship, we will be able to play other events wholeheartedly. This may be a good start, or it may be the beginning of our decline in performance. This is very important, and the right to choose lies in your performance."
Carlo came up and talked about the form of the team. Now, the form of Real Madrid's third-tier competition is very good, but this kind of good also has some unfavorable factors, that is, the mentality of the players. He hopes to use this to remind the players .
And the meaning of Carlo's words is also very obvious. If you lose this game, it is likely to be the beginning of the decline in the team's performance, because if Real Madrid's winning momentum is blocked and they miss the King's Cup, it will have a negative impact on the mentality of the players. huge impact.
"...If we lose this game, even if we win the other two titles in the future, it will not be perfect, because we have missed the opportunity to win the treble, which has not happened once in ten years. "
"Everyone, I like championships very much, and I really want to lead Real Madrid to win the treble. Do you know why?"
At this time, Carlo raised a question.
This question caused the players below to look at each other. Of course everyone wants to win the championship, but why does Carlo work so hard to win the championship?No one really thought about this simple question.
Seeing the doubtful eyes of the players, Carlo said sincerely: "I am a temporary coach, yes, just a temporary coach. I have been coaching Real Madrid's second-tier team before, and I never thought that I would be able to coach so soon. First team. Do you know what it means to me if the team doesn't do well this season?"
Listening to Carlo's sincere words, the players' hearts moved slightly. Before they could say anything, Carlo continued: "...I will return to the second-tier team to continue coaching. This is very difficult for me to accept. Now, I had a chance, but I failed to seize the opportunity, which is entirely my own responsibility, so, from my own point of view, I very much hope to win the championship."
".And what about you?"
"How many championships can you win in your career? How many chances do you have to compete for the Triple Crown, or even more championships??"
"Very little," Beckham continued.
He was a little moved when he saw Carlo say these words very honestly. After all, although these are facts and everyone knows the facts, in fact, few coaches are so sincere to players.
The same is true for Wang Li. He knows that at least Mourinho will not talk to the players so sincerely, which will weaken his majesty, but he has to admit that this also increases the affinity between the coach and the players.
Carlo nodded slightly at Beckham, and continued: "Maybe you have fewer opportunities than me, because I can coach from now until I am 60 or even 70 years old, but your careers are even shorter, and some of them are even short. several years."
"So, I hope you guys take every opportunity to go for the championship, as it is now, it's rare. So, do you know what to do now?"
"Fight for the championship!" A player below said aloud.
"That's right, boys, try to get rid of those Spaniards' garbage, then the championship will belong to us!" Carlo pointed out the window and said: "Today, just today, in two hours, you will be able to win the championship Alright, what are you waiting for?? Immediately, the player channel is assembled."
As Carlo spoke, he took off his suit first, put on a tracksuit, and walked towards the locker room.
Seeing the head coach like this, many players suppressed their laughter, but the fighting spirit in their eyes became stronger. Obviously, Carlo's words had an effect, and he successfully aroused the players' desire for the championship.
It's really exciting to think that two hours later, the team will win a gold-rich championship trophy, which is the result of their hard work for a season, isn't it?
Wang Li is also a little excited. Who doesn't want a champion? What he hopes most is that when he retires, there will be a medal showroom at home, where there are first year Champions League medals, league medals, cup medals, and second year Champions League medals. Medals, league medals, cup medals... until the year of retirement, maybe this is a bit of a miser, it should be said to be a card slave, but any football player will have this idea.
Of course, it is impossible for other players to achieve this, but Wang Li is different. He understands his own strength. As long as he joins a wealthy team, winning many championships is really not just a dream.
Thinking about the moment when he retired, when he asked his friends to visit his home, Wang Li was a little excited because there were so many trophies at home, "Maybe I won the Champions League 10 times in a row, and UEFA will award it to me forever." A mug with big ears? '
At this time, he suddenly had this idea.
Undoubtedly, this kind of honor is supreme for players, even more attractive than the World Cup champion. Of course, this is something that no predecessors can achieve. Many outstanding players are very lucky to win three Champions League titles in their lifetime alright.
But now, Wang Li is only 19 years old, already has a quadruple crown, and now has the opportunity to fight for a Spanish triple crown. This honor is really enviable.
When these obscene thoughts flowed through Wang Li's mind, the players of the two teams were already standing in the player tunnel, waiting to take part in the match.
"Let's switch the camera to the scene - the Mestalla Stadium, where the final of the 05-06 Spanish King's Cup will be held in this stadium. The game will start in a few minutes. Now the players of the two teams are competing Entering the stadium, the two teams are Real Madrid and Real Espanyol, obviously, Real Madrid is already very familiar to everyone, so let us first introduce the Espanyol team.”
"This team had a very good season last season. This season they participated in the UEFA Cup, but unfortunately they lost to Liverpool in the knockout stage. The team's manager is Lotina. Maybe this is not a good sign, because Lotina brought Celta Vigo to relegation last time, and the Espanyol also played in Europe last season, so hopefully they won't be relegated as well."
".In Barcelona, the Spaniard is Barcelona's rival in the same city. In the Spanish derby, Barcelona suffered a crazy 8:0 bloodbath from Real Madrid. I hope the Spaniard can remember this lesson. They also come from the Barcelona area. They don't let them The game has become like this"
A few minutes before the start of the game, TV stations from all over the country had already switched their screens to the court, and began to comment on the players one after another.
For the Spaniard players, the commentary is very general, and only a few stars such as captain Tamdo and De La Pena have been highlighted. Fans are familiar with it, but they still focus on detailed analysis.
"Real Madrid No. 21 Alan Wang!!!"
When the name was shouted from the on-site commentator, the fans in the audience burst into cheers. Even in the Mestalla Stadium, in Valencia, Wang Li's reputation is still so loud, for his football , Many people like to watch it. Although most of them are not Real Madrid fans, the support for superstars is regardless of region.
This game will be the first championship competition in Spanish football, and it will also be the beginning of each season's championship. If Real Madrid wins the championship, they will kick off the season's treble. Not only won the Copa del Rey, they will also be the first team to beat Real Madrid since Christmas——
Since Christmas so far, Real Madrid has won all the cups, leagues and Champions League matches.
Seeing Real Madrid's starting players, the Spaniard's head coach Lotina still thinks that the Spaniard may win, just as he thought, Real Madrid did not send all the main lineup, the most important Zidane, Beckham The two midfielders all sat on the bench, which made him feel a little more at ease.
In Real Madrid, the importance of Zidane must not be ignored. He is the backbone of the team's midfield. Without Zidane's midfield, it will directly drop a level.
Without Beckham, Real Madrid's wing attack ability is also much worse.
Perhaps, the only regret is that the black-haired boy on the other side is still on the court. Before the game, Lotina thought that this black-haired boy might also sit on the bench, so the Spaniard's hope of winning is even greater, but this idea Apparently not implemented.
However, even so, Lotina has a certain degree of certainty in his heart. After all, Real Madrid's midfield has been weakened so much. As long as the Spaniard takes the initiative, it is not difficult to score goals. The teenager Juan Fran performed very well, and the teenager Honasan also performed well. In the last two league games, he scored two goals, which is why Lotina felt a little relieved.
All these are good news for the Spaniard. The only bad news is that Lotina is uncertain about Real Madrid's lineup, because judging from the position of the black-haired kid on the field, he did not play forward in this game , but pulled in the middle of the formation, as if playing a midfielder position.
This is really amazing.
"Who doesn't know that black-haired kid is a scoring machine? How would that rookie coach think of using him as a midfielder?"
At least Lotina didn't know why, and that was what made him uneasy.
In fact, in this game, Wang Li's position is the midfielder.
Before the game, in order to ensure Zidane's physical fitness in the next UEFA Champions League, Carlo did not let him play, and due to continuous games, Beckham's physical fitness also had some problems, which caused Real Madrid's midfielder to look It is very fragile. Although it is supported by Baptista and Gravesen, it is still inferior in comparison.
Carlo is a little worried about this kind of midfield line.
Therefore, he put Wang Li in the midfielder position, the purpose is naturally to rely on his stealing ability to greatly increase Real Madrid's defensive ability. If there is a chance to attack, Wang Li will of course let go to attack. Is the core of the team.
This style of play puts very high demands on Wang Li. Whether it is defense or offense, he is the core of the team.
However, Carlo trusts Wang Li very much, and he also trusts his ability very much. After many competitions, Carlo has a relatively comprehensive understanding of Wang Li's ability. In his opinion, although this black-haired boy is thin and weak But he is very strong, extremely fast, excellent dribbling ability, precise shooting power, average header but strong jumping ability. The most incredible thing is that such a perfect No. 10 striker has amazing backcourt steals Ability, which makes him competent for almost any position in the game except goalkeeper! !
"It's incredible, it's so comprehensive." When Carlo was studying the game before the game, he was surprised to see Wang Li's data.
Such a player, of course, should be placed in the most important position of the team and used only as a shooter. Carlo felt that it was a bit too wasteful. Therefore, seeing Real Madrid's fragile midfielder, Carlo was a little worried. So Wang Li was placed in the midfield, so that the team's defense was guaranteed, and the offensive ability of this black-haired kid was unquestionable. Coupled with the assistance of other players, Real Madrid was sure to win.
In the final of the Copa del Rey, Carlo still felt that stability should be the main priority.
Although kicking Wang Li directly to the front of the lineup can effectively guarantee the team's goals, and Real Madrid has a high probability of winning, but there is no guarantee after all, and the team still focuses on stability. After all, this is a game An important game to determine the ownership of the championship.
This decision was made after a rigorous demonstration by the Real Madrid coaching staff, but what Carlo did not expect was that this arrangement surprised the media and opponents.
433! !Wang Li acts as a single midfielder! !
Before the game, many people speculated about Real Madrid's lineup, but no one expected such a lineup--
Forwards: Raúl, Guti, Robinho
Midfielders: Baptista, Alan Wang, Ramos
Defenders: Ruben, Ramos, Minambres, Cicinho
Goalkeeper: Iker Casillas
The most surprising thing is undoubtedly Wang Li's position. With three strikers in the frontcourt, he is obviously playing as a single midfielder, and such a single midfielder must shoulder the responsibility of organizing offense. This is Chelsea. The position of team Lampard, this position is not capable of ordinary teenagers, even if the personal level is high, but this position requires too high a player's awareness of movement and integration with the team.
This black-haired kid needs defense and offense alone, no matter how powerful he is, can he be competent?
Everyone doesn't know, they can only wait and see.
