Chapter 46: Fifth Round Opponent - Levante
After Li Chuanqi returned to school, she became a star in the school again. Her classmates' eyes were full of admiration. He also became a frequent visitor to the principal's office, but this time it was not to deal with a fight.
Naturally, there are more and more love letters in his schoolbag. His sister Li Xiaofeng wants to exchange his big schoolbag for him, saying that she can hold more love letters.
Of course, Li Chuanqi did not agree.
...
During a family chat, Li Chuanqi finally knew why Liage did not play in the high-level league.
According to the brother's description, Leaheg was romantic back then and changed his girlfriend more frequently than changing clothes.
“In an important competition, he did something incredible.
As the main striker in that game, he won the starting position.
During the intermission, he did not enter the locker room and no one knew where he went.
He hurried into the court a few minutes into the second half. At this time, the coach had arranged for other players to replace him in the game.
After the game, the coach asked him where he went during the intermission, but he did not answer, which made the coach very angry.
The next day, the coach finally understood what he did during the intermission.”
Li Chuanqi opened her mouth wide and blurted out: "He won't be with his girlfriend during the intermission..."
Li Chuanrui nodded: "The reason why the coach knew about this was because he was seen by a stadium staff member at that time.
The staff member threatened Liager and asked him to give money. Liager was unwilling to give it, so the staff broke the matter out."
My dad drank a glass of wine: "Strong! So fucking strong!"
Li Chuanqi was indeed shocked, and after halftime... How hungry is this guy...
"For Real Madrid, this is a scandal, and of course they will not break it out, so they handled it in a low-key manner and let Leaheg leave.
The football circle is only that big, and paper cannot keep the popularity. This matter was known by other teams, and no team is willing to invite him."
Li Chuanrui said: "So, he said that many second-tier teams sent him invitations, and it is very likely that it was him..."
My mother looked at Li Chuanqi and concluded: "So, Hu Zi, you should be calm when doing things in the future, and some things cannot be compensated after doing them. Why did your brother say this? He is reminding you."
I don’t even know what my girlfriend is. What does this have to do with me, a single dog?
But Li Chuanqi still nodded obediently and agreed to her mother.
Li Yag's "strength" really surprised Li Chuanqi, and he also understood why the professional team has not yet sent him an invitation.
In order to play in the high-level league, Li Chuanqi trained harder and constantly honed his skills in the Malaga League and the South District competitions.
The biggest change that defeating Zaragoza gave San Malaga was that the players were more confident.
At some point in that game, they were comparable to Zaragoza on the court, and now someone has proposed that the tactics can be changed appropriately, and more people should be involved in the offense.
This advantage is that it increases the contact point and improves the success rate of the offense, while the disadvantage is that the defense will become weak.
This puzzle tortures Antonio.
As a coach of a Class D team, he must respect the opinions of the players, but he must also consider the team's performance.
...
In late December, all the fourth rounds of the Copa del Rey were played, and sixteen teams advanced to the fifth round were produced.
Among these sixteen teams, the La Liga team occupied 14 seats, and the Spanish Second Division team Milandes defeated Villarreal and became the only seedling in the Spanish Second Division.
The most eye-catching one is of course the Class D team of San Malaga.
According to the rules of the Cup of del Rey, the home and away game will be held from the fifth round.
Just after Christmas, the fifth round of the King's Cup of del Rey was drawn.
San Malaga's opponent is La Liga team Levante!
The only thing that is beneficial to them is the first round of the home game.
Levante is a club in the city of Valencia in eastern Spain.
Levante is named after the coast of Valencia, Spain. It was founded in 1909 and earlier than its rival Valencia Football Club.
Levante's predecessor, the Eastern Coast Team, established in 1909, was originally named Levante fc.
After the Spanish Civil War, the club stadium was completely destroyed, while the city's Tarragona lost most of its players in the war, so in 1939, the two clubs merged to form a new team.
It is particularly worth mentioning that Levante was born into a grassroots team in Valencia. Although he cannot compare with Valencia Club in terms of performance, they have historically had superstars like Distefano and Mijatovic.
Cruyff also played here in the 1980-81 season.
Having been in the Spanish Second Division for many years has made this team lose its former halo.
After 39 years, they returned to La Liga and finished 13th last season, so Levante hopes to stay in the ranks of Class A for a long time and open up a new future.
This season, Levante has become the biggest dark horse in La Liga. Now La Liga has played 17 rounds and the competition is about to exceed half. Levante is actually ranked fourth in the standings!
In the third round, they defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home, and upgraded their ranking to ninth place. Then they won seven rounds in a row and their points rose to the top!
But then they lost three rounds in a row and dropped to fourth place.
The biggest blow Levante suffered this season was a away challenge to Barcelona, where they lost zero to five in that game.
Despite this, the fact that Levante's rise this season cannot be concealed.
So when the lottery results were announced, the Spanish media almost one-sidedly believed that the magic of San Malaga would be ended by Levante.
Ass said: "San Malaga's luck has been exhausted, so they drew Levante in this round.
Although Levante has recently lost 0-5 to Barcelona, it must be considered that it happened at the terrifying Camp Nou Stadium.
So we think Levante is still a strong team!
The teams ranked in the top four in the standings have the opportunity to enter the Champions League next season. The biggest suspense of the game between Levante and San Malaga is what kind of score they win the game?
If they want to win a little more beautifully, they will send half of the main players to play. If they just want a victory, they can send a substitute to play.
The myth of San Malaga will end in this round, and that's it, there is no other result!"
World Sports said: "Although Levante lost in the Camp Nou, they could never lose at the foot of a Class D team.
Although this Class D team has created many miracles before, the reason why miracles are called miracles is a low-probability event."
The Malaga media expressed disappointment in the draw, and the Malaga Evening News said: "It is obvious that God believes that it is a wrong decision to let both Malaga teams enter the fifth round, so this round will destroy both Malaga teams.
Malaga is very unlucky and will compete with Real Madrid for a place to advance to the quarterfinals in the fifth round.
In the last six games, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage with a record of five wins and one draw. Two months ago, Real Madrid defeated Malaga four goals at the Rose Garden Stadium.
So it is almost impossible for Malaga to eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the quarterfinals.
Let's take a look at another team that brought us too much shock. Their opponents in this round are Levante, who ranks fourth in the standings.
San Malaga's opponents are teams that are stronger than them in every round. From Class C to Class B, from Class B to current Class A, every round is not easy for them.
In the words of their coach Antonio, that is, ‘We treat every round as the final’.
It is this determination that has enabled them to create miracles countless times.
Entering the fifth round, they have once again refreshed the best results of the Spanish Class D team in the Copa del Rey.
But this round is really difficult for them. On the one hand, Levante is not Zaragoza, which ranks in the middle and lower reaches. On the other hand, it is basically impossible to expect Levante to repeat the mistakes like Zaragoza.
After learning about the lottery results, our newspaper interviewed San Malaga coach Antonio as soon as possible.
He didn't express much about the lottery results, and his mentality was still very peaceful. "It is our luck to be able to play against Levante's La Liga team with such a high ranking. In fact, we have been mentally prepared to play against high ranking teams."
Speaking about expectations for this game, he said, ‘We are ready to face any results, whatever the results are, this season is fantastic for us.’
Yes, they've really been fantastic this season, and in the long history of the Cup of Rey, they were the first D team to reach the fifth round.
We hope that they can enjoy the joy brought to them by football like in the previous few rounds, play their own style and tenacity in the game!
The result is no longer important to them.”
This Malaga-based media with the largest sales volume is not optimistic about the two teams in the city because they both meet strong opponents.
