Thomason's goal helped Ibiza equalize the score.

Fang Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but it was not yet time to completely relax. After all, Maridimo only needed to score one goal to equalize the total score and drag the game into overtime. Given that Ibiza is now playing one less player and her physical fitness is not as good as Maridimo. Once she is dragged into overtime, it is really hard to say who will win.

Maridimo obviously knew this. At the last moment of the game, this Portuguese superpower team launched a fierce attack on Ibiza's goal.

Bravo, who had already squeezed out the main goalkeeper of last season, has now begun to firmly occupy the main position and performed very well. He opened high and blocked low at the last moment of the game, and completed at least two extremely critical saves.

When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, Fang Jue clenched his fists and waved it hard, one to one, with a total score of 3 to two, and Ibiza successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup group stage.

Fang Jue admitted that he underestimated the enemy a little, and with Reus' early injury retreat, Bolaruze was sent off by a red card, Ibiza can be said to be passive in the whole game today. Fortunately, Fang Jue's substitution at a critical moment had an effect, and Danish veteran Thomasson did not disappoint him.

This is also the reason why Fang Jue insists on introducing a veteran like Thomasen. Lewandowski and Aubameyang are both excellent, but both of them are too young and lack experience in the competition. Introducing an experienced veteran like Thomasen can be up to the top at critical moments.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that when Thomason played in Milan, he often played the role of a "super substitute" who scored goals after he came on the bench. In today's game, the Danish veteran showed his "business proficiency".

After the game, Fang Jue praised Thomason fiercely in the locker room.

The Danish veteran was very happy to hear that. Thomason understood that his positioning was a substitute role, who could score goals in limited playing time and win the recognition and praise of the coach. This would bring great psychological comfort to a veteran.

...

The media used to call the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifiers in the two rounds of Ibiza and Maridimo. In fact, according to the official statement, this should be considered the main match of the League Cup. However, there is still the main match before the group stage, which is more or less different from people's understanding. Many media are still used to calling it the third round of the qualifiers.

In the first round, there were 80 teams participating, including three teams that directly advanced to the main tournament. As the Spanish Cup champion team, Ibiza is one of these 32 teams. In addition, there are 16 teams that lost in the third round of the Champions League qualifiers, and 3 teams that advanced from the second round of the League Cup qualifiers, with a total of 80 teams.

80 teams are eliminated at home and away, and the 40 winning teams will participate in the League Cup group stage.

Now, Ibiza eliminated Maridimo and successfully advanced to the UEFA Cup group stage in the 008/009 season.

A total of 40 teams participated in the group stage, divided into 8 groups.

The group stage adopts a single-loop group match system, with 4 teams in each group advanced. These 4 teams and the third teams in the eight groups that were "relegated" from the European Champions League group stage, form the top 32, and then fight against each other to launch the knockout round.

From here we can see the length of the UEFA Cup system, which has been streamlined. After the top 32 of the UEFA Cup was produced, it would have to be divided into groups and then the knockout round of the top 16 will be produced after the group stage.

In the eyes of some media and fans, Ibiza does not have the ability to fight on multiple lines now and should focus on the league. The League Cup can be given up at the right moment.

This is mainly because the European Cup is ahead of the European Cup, and the UEFA Cup is obviously insufficient in value, which is also the reason why many teams do not pay attention to the UEFA Cup.

However, senior executives of the Ibiza club, including Fang Jue, believe that Ibiza should go as far as possible in the European game. If the European game has excellent results, the club's influence will be further expanded. For Fang Jue, the better Ibiza's performance and greater influence, the higher the market value, and the more valuable the shares he has.

While Ibiza was almost dismissing his main players, he was tied by Maridimo at home and struggled to advance to the League Cup group stage. There were also some sarcastic voices in the media.

This is the media. Some media previously said that Ibiza should give up the European game and concentrate on playing the league. However, Ibiza and Maridimo played the game not ideal. These media started to say strange things. "As" criticized Ibiza, "In an ugly game, Ibiza advanced thrillingly, avoiding the embarrassment of being eliminated in the third round of the qualifying round. While Real Madrid and Barcelona were winning European points for La Liga, we hope that some teams can also achieve the minimum bottom line results...'

Fang Jue sneered. Judging from the Champions League results of La Liga teams in recent seasons, it is barely reasonable to say that Barcelona has earned face for La Liga. After all, Barcelona won the Champions League championship in 2006, but Real Madrid has fallen to the semi-finals of 16 for several consecutive seasons. Ass said this without much persuasion, and it will only make Fang Jue unhappy.

Of course, the feng shui changes, and Barcelona has only achieved European results in recent seasons. Before that, Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleships' first phase was better than Barcelona, ​​especially in 2000. With Zidane's flying immortal, Real Madrid stood at the top of Europe, and the Galaxy Battleships' glory was unparalleled.

...

On October 6, Ibiza ushered in the sixth round of the league.

They face Huelva away.

In this game, about a few hundred Ibiza fans followed the team to play away.

This is already very good for the small island teams with different population and area. After all, this is just an ordinary La Liga match and not an important game.

Obviously, the five rounds of the league started, and Ibiza's good results of ranking third in the league with three wins and two draws and eleven points completely ignited the enthusiasm of Ibiza fans to follow the team to watch the game away.

Before the game started, Fang Jue was in the visiting team's locker room and shouted loudly as the players who were ready to play, "Get the game! I have only one requirement! Win the game, surpass Real Madrid, and shut up the Madrid people! Go and fuck it!"

In a first game in this round, Real Madrid was tied by Espanyol 2-2 at home. In this case, as long as Ibiza wins the game against Huelva, his points will surpass Real Madrid.

As for why Fang Jue only targets Real Madrid and does not shout more than Barcelona?

That's because, in the standings, Ibiza is third, and Barcelona is fifth.

If I can win Huelva, Ibiza can at least rank second in the league, putting two noble ladies, Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​under them, and it doesn't feel too good.

As he said that, Fang Jue opened the door of the locker room with great force.

The noise outside instantly poured in, and everyone's spirit was cheered up.

Ibiza is a newly promoted team, and Huelva is also a traditional weak team. Such a game is not a traditional focus game. However, the market is still hot, and the atmosphere in the Spanish football stadium is very infectious. Fanatic fans sang the home team song as soon as they entered the court, and at the same time, shaking the team flag or scarf rhythmically, causing waves from time to time. Anyone who is in it will be moved by this fanatical atmosphere.

...

The overall style of La Liga is to emphasize technology delicately, and generally attack on the ground. Generally, there are few players who are tall and big. La Liga games are basically about back-legging, passing, controlling the ball, and passing back, and keeping the tug-of-war in the midfield, and the game pace is relatively slow.

This is the style of La Liga, and one thing worth noting is that the more mid- and lower-level teams are, the more they adhere to the offensive style of technology. It can be said that the general characteristics of mid- and lower-level teams are strong offense and weak defense.

On the contrary, traditional La Liga powerhouses such as Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid are generally good at playing defensive counterattacks.

Another characteristic is that as long as the weak team is led by the opponent for more than two goals, they will not have much energy to accumulate fighting spirit, which means that the fighting will not be strong enough.

In the Premier League or Serie A, mid- and lower-level teams are not easy to play, especially in the Premier League. Even giants like Manchester United and Chelsea face buses with mid- and lower-level teams, it is a headache.

For example, in the Premier League, mid- and lower-level teams are not as skilled as strong teams, but with physical strength, fierce confrontation, life-long fighting, and the hard defense of the whole team can make strong teams very troublesome. In the Premier League or Serie A, especially the former, the chances of a weak team being upset are far higher than that of La Liga.

However, in La Liga, as long as you are strong enough, the mid- and lower-level teams are really easy to play, because the opponents rarely focus on defense, and even a team of newly promoted weak teams dare to attack at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid. Although the result is that these weak teams die miserably... But they don't care. Barcelona has a good game at the Bernabeu, Camp Nou and Real Madrid, how cool it is. Even if they are relegated, they don't get points from the giants. If you are happy, just be happy.

This may also be related to Spain's preference for Latin style, and it pursues romance and enjoyment in its core.

At least, this is the current style of La Liga.

Therefore, Fang Jue actually likes to touch mid- and lower-level teams like Huelva: if you shoot two or three shots, the opponent's body will become soft and you will be able to ravage it.

The young Ibiza's running actively, fighting actively, with strong firepower, speed, cooperation, skills, and hardness, and soon controlled the game situation.

"We must open up the situation as soon as possible." This is what Fang Jue told his players.

...

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Ibiza made a beautiful offensive cooperation.

Marklele and Modric joined forces to intercept the ball, and then Modric quickly took the ball to Desler.

Deisler had a good vision and thought about what to do when receiving the ball. He kicked a diagonal ball and directly tore Huelva's defense.

Ibiza's counterattack was very fast, and this sharp counterattack made Huelva very uncomfortable.

When Mata and Alba passed the ball continuously and finally cut inward into the penalty area horizontally, Huelva's defense line had completely collapsed, and the final thing was simple. Alba sent a rolling ball from the ground and made a cross. Lewandowski squeezed out the defender Ameodo with his back to the goal, knocking the football away, and then Reus, who received the ball, was no one defended at this time. In this case, the German "Little Rockets" shot and scored. Facing a small half of the empty goal, he pushed it gently and the football rolled into Huelva's goal...

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful goal! Ibiza leads one to zero, this is not the point." Dolores said. Although Ibiza is a newly promoted team, judging from Ibiza's ranking and the strength he has shown before, the goal to Huelva is not surprising. However, the point is, "The point is that this ball is very beautiful. Ibiza's counterattack speed is very fast. The entire goal process is almost a one-foot pass. The pass of a few passes to tear open Huelva's defense line. The home team seems to have no choice in the face of this kind of attack."

David Zamora also praised the goal. "Huelva's players were like they were hit by a stick in the head, dizzy and didn't know how to defend. They could only passively follow, but the final result was to concede the ball."

Fang Jue applauded on the sidelines and cheered for the team's goals.

He was very satisfied with the goal so early.

As long as you seize the opportunity and score another goal, Huelva's determination to resist will be greatly reduced.

Even though Fang Jue was confident in the strength of his team, he did not expect the team's second goal to come so quickly.

...

Ten minutes later, Mata's frontcourt breakthrough caused the opponent to foul, and Ibiza got a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

Reus took the penalty kick and opened into the penalty area. Lewandowski headed the ball to Huelva goalkeeper Luke missed the ball. Huelva defender Alvarez hurriedly cleared the ball. Modric failed to wait for the football to land outside the penalty area, but the first long shot hit the defender and changed direction. Lewandowski stretched out his foot and touched the football into the net before the defender cleared the ball.

Two to zero.

"!"

"Two to zero! Lewandowski, the Pole scored the 7th goal in the individual league, and he now continues to lead the scorer list." David Zamora shouted.

After facing Valencia in the fourth round of the league, Lewandowski surpassed Atletico Madrid scorer Fran and ranked first in the scorer list.

"Ibiza's goal has come again. Facing Ibiza, Huelva has almost no power to fight back. You know, Ibiza is a newly promoted team, 8 to 3 Atletico Madrid, 7 to 2 Valencia, and ranks third in the league in five rounds. We have never seen such a newly promoted team. They are brought by this Chinese coach. He has created such an Ibiza... Mr. Alfonso, who has passed away, will definitely be proud of his original decision. He chose a great genius coach for Ibiza." Dolores spoke very fast, like a machine gun.

...

Lewandowski and his teammates celebrated excitedly.

This Polish young man is very satisfied with his current state. He came to Spain from the Polish League Two. He helped the team successfully upgrade from the Spanish League Two in his first season and won the Spanish Cup of Rey. Now, in the Spanish League, he is showing his football talent.

He didn't expect his career to go so well.

All of this is because of that man.

"Coach, how do I perform?" Lewandowski said on the sidelines.

"Go and go, just a goal." Fang Jue looked disgusted and kicked Lewandowski with a false kick.

The Polish shooter laughed and went back to the dojo and shouted, "Guys, help me, the coach is not satisfied."
