Valverde was indeed unlucky.

The Copa del Rey is called the Spanish Championship - His Majesty the King Don Juan Carlos I Cup, and the competition system is very complicated.

Anyway, we have reached the fourth knockout round of the King's Cup, which is the so-called top 32.

Previously, teams from the Spanish second and third leagues competed with qualified teams from the third league, and then the remaining teams competed against these first-division teams.

Villarreal, who were originally drawn to a Segunda División team, were relatively happy, but when they found out that the Segunda División team turned out to be Real Sociedad, they felt a bit unhappy.

In the era of Real Sociedad in La Liga, this team from the Basque Country with the Royal title has always been a difficult nut to crack.

Especially for Villarreal.

Although Real Sociedad is now considered a second division team, their strength is still close to that of the first division!

Sun Yao didn't care about the first round of this away game.

I just heard after the game that Villarreal lost in the away game.

Lost to Real Sociedad 1-2 away from home.

This puts more pressure on Villarreal coach Valverde.

But Sun Yao was gloating on the sidelines, "I told you not to take me with you! We lost!"

Indeed, after losing this Copa del Rey, Valverde's coaching pressure increased. Although the league had just achieved its first victory in the league with a victory against Deportivo La Coruna, but, turning around

, and immediately lost in the Copa del Rey!

This was a huge blow to him. Although most people knew that Real Sociedad was not an easy team to deal with, the fans didn't think so.

They think it would be a shame to lose to a Spanish Second Division team!

No matter how useless the Copa del Rey is, it is still Valverde's life-saving straw. Unfortunately, he failed to grasp it again!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At this time, Sun Yao had just learned the snake step, and he really hoped to find a formal competition to show off his skills!

Show your current super breakthrough ability.

This opportunity for the Copa del Rey is missed, but the weekend league is coming soon.

This time the opponent is Cartagena, which is ranked in the middle of the Spanish second division, but has performed strongly recently and is considered a very difficult opponent.

After Sun Yao understood the characteristics of his opponent's playing style, he devoted himself to training with confidence!

In the match against Cartagena, Sun Yaozhi gave a crazy performance!

Let that damn Valverde see what level he is at!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Crazy training begins again.

Time also flies by.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The home game against Cartagena is coming up.

Juan Carlos Garrido is arranging the tactics on the court.

Because Cristóbal Gistubao had already come on as a substitute in the away game against Real Sociedad; therefore, Juan Carlos Garrido handed the starting opportunity to Sun Yao.

Sun Yao agreed excitedly: "Mr. Coach, I will show my best condition to face this game!"

"Okay, I look forward to your wonderful performance!" Juan Carlos Garrido smiled.

"That must be of course!" Sun Yao laughed.

The match against Cartagena is set for Saturday evening at 8 o'clock.

Before the game, reporters also asked Juan Carlos Garrido about who would get the starting opportunity, Sun Yao or Cristóbal Gistubao.

After all, the recent games between the two of them didn't have much highlights.

But Cristóbal Guistu's victory is stable, while Sun Yao can always bring everyone magical moments!

Especially Sun Yao's "Cloud-Piercing Arrow"!

Many media called him a master of long shots. The reporters were surprised by his arcless shots and extremely fast ball speed.

"A such a young player can actually hit such a beautiful long shot! What a genius!"

The other thing is that I am interested in Sun Yao's fast starting speed. However, these two points are also where Sun Yao shines most. Although Sun Yao's passing and control ability has also improved, Sun Yao does not have any special skills in this area.

It is a basic ability.

This also leaves Sun Yao with a single weakness. Therefore, in recent rounds, opponents have carefully studied Sun Yao's characteristics and have found ways to defend Sun Yao.

Often, at this time, Juan Carlos Garrido should not put Sun Yao in the starting lineup, but should put him on the bench as a surprise player.

But when a reporter came to ask him such a question, Juan Carlos Garrido answered directly: "I will let Sun Yao start. Gisdupa just participated in the King's Cup game in mid-week and he needs to take a rest.

.”

"Mr. Coach, do you think Sun Yao has the ability to be the starting player in this game? After all, his opponents have mastered the method of defending him in recent games!" the reporter asked again.

"Football is a team sport, and you can't deny his role in attracting the opponent's defense in the previous three games! Even if he doesn't score goals or assists, as long as he can bring victory to the team! I will use him!

"Juan Carlos Garrido also supported Sun Yao in front of the reporters at this time, asking Sun Yao not to get into trouble with these reporters.

After Juan Carlos Garrido ended his press conference, Cartagena coach Martinez did not care about Sun Yao.

"We know the level of the Chinese very well. He has a single characteristic and we will make it impossible for him to get any chance! I think he is not one of the threats in this game at all! I think the key to this game is to see whether they can

Guard against our indiscriminate bombing!" Martinez said disdainfully to Sun Yao.

Many reporters know the characteristics of coach Martinez: he is young, he advocates offense, and his salary is low...

Indeed, Martinez's salary is lower than Sun Yao's. This is indeed a relatively low-paid coach among the coaches in the second division.

But his low salary does not mean that his level is not good. The Cartagena team he leads has performed extremely well recently.

Continuously scoring points against Levante and Real Sociedad showed great resilience against strong teams!

Martinez's contribution is not small.

After the pre-game war of words is over, the game is highly anticipated!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After the game started, Martinez did fulfill his promise.

The Cartagena team played admirable offensive football.

Of course Villarreal B team, playing at home, cannot show any cowardice. After all, they are at the door of their own home. If they are beaten so that they can't get out, it will be really embarrassing!

Attack!

A great match!

Sun Yao started to ask for the ball on the court. Such a hot scene cannot be complete without Sun Yao's amazing performance!

"This way! Perez!" Sun Yao shouted.

In the midfield, after hearing Sun Yao's words, Perez made a long pass and found Sun Yao accurately.

Sun Yao easily stopped the ball with his chest, and the opponent immediately targeted a player!

Sun Yao stared at the opponent's No. 23 full-back, smiled, and started...

"Gap"

The gap is between the player's legs!

"Z-shaped assault!"

Snake step!

Sun Yao easily flicked the ball, and the ball passed between the opponent's legs accurately!

Sun Yao quickly followed up and increased his speed!

The perfect combination of the snake step and the quick step!

The defender was thrown away in an instant!

"He passed! Not good!" At this time, the opponent's No. 23 fullback Unai Exposito realized that Sun Yao had already passed him!

"Pascal Sigan! Quickly help defend!" Unai Exposito immediately waved to his teammates and chased after him desperately.

"Sun, here, pass the ball!" Marcos Gurung asked for the ball in the middle, but Sun Yao glanced at his teammates and did not choose to pass the ball.

At this time, the tall central defender Pascal Sigan, who came to help defend, had already pressed forward!

Sun Yao looked at the distance between himself and the opponent, slowed down slightly, led the opponent to stand still, and launched another "snake attack"!

Pascal Sigan is over 1.9 meters tall, which obviously means that the opponent's turning ability is not strong!

Sun Yao did not hesitate and pretended to go outside to attract the attention of Pascal Xigan.

Sure enough, Xigan was fooled and chased outside.
