Chapter 114: The King's Cup Final Begins! (Seventh)
The Malaga TV commentator said loudly: "Now we introduce to you the starting lineups of both sides. Bielsa has arranged a four-three-three attack formation!
Goalkeeper: Iraisos; four defenders: Iola, Amorebieta, Ortnetso, Ekisa; three midfielders: J. Martinez, Suseta, Dema
Kos; three forwards: Muniain, Llorente, Ibay!
In Santa Malaga, Antonio adjusted the formation and formed a 4-4-2 formation.
Goalkeeper: MiG... Forward: Li, Liague!
Players from both sides have now entered the stadium, indicating that this season's Copa del Rey final is about to begin!
We hope that Lady Luck is still on the side of Santa Malaga tonight, and that Santa Malaga will give us an unexpected surprise again!"
In the stands, supporters of both sides have entered the state, and cheers are rising and falling.
Sitting in the VIP seats were heavyweights in Spanish football. Football Association Chairman Angel Vera and other Football Association bosses sat in the same box. Spanish national team coach Vicente Del Bosque and his team sat in another box.
Since it was held at his home stadium, Simeone also came to the scene.
Of course, the most eye-catching ones are the boxes of members of the Spanish royal family, King Juan Carlos I, the first heir to the royal family Felipe Juan, Princess Cristina Federica...
Behind the Santa Malaga bench is the family area of the players. Two little girls, Li Xiaofeng and Yaisa, sit together. Sitting next to Li Xiaofeng is the eldest brother Li Chuanrui and his father.
Zhang Xian did not come to the scene. She was standing in front of the counter and glanced at the TV that was turned on from time to time.
When she saw Li Chuanqi on the TV screen, her nose was slightly sour and her eyes were moist. That little person had grown up...
"Sister-in-law, get the camel bag!"
A man's voice sounded. Zhang Xian quickly wiped away her tears, turned around and took out a pack of cigarettes.
The man suddenly exclaimed: "Isn't that Huzi? Xiaofeng, Brother Xian... they are on TV!"
Zhang Xian quickly turned to look at the TV and even forgot to hand the cigarette to the man.
"The King's Cup final! By the way, tonight is the King's Cup final! How could I forget!"
The man quickly handed over the money and took the cigarette: "Your TV is too small, I want to go home and watch it!"
Seeing the man leave in a hurry, Zhang Xian looked at his back with disdain: "It's great to have a big TV..."
She looked at the TV screen. Well, it was indeed small. She had to buy a larger TV. A fifty-inch TV should be about the same, but it would cost a lot of money...
“Just buy it!”
Zhang Xian gritted her teeth and made up her mind that her son would often compete outside in the future.
…
Calderon Stadium Stadium.
After the captains of both sides chose sides, they came to their own half. The starting players of Santa Malaga gathered together and shouted loudly under the leadership of captain Pablo: "Santa Malaga must win!"
"Saint Malaga must win!"
"Saint Malaga must win!"
Their roars were echoed by the bench and the stands, and a huge roar rang out from the stands:
"Saint Malaga must win!"
"Saint Malaga must win!"
"Saint Malaga must win!"
What followed was thunderous applause.
At this moment, the passion has been ignited and the magic is about to happen!
"Beep!..."
At eight o'clock on time, the referee blew the whistle to start the game.
Countless voices came from the broadcast booth: "With the referee's whistle, the 2012 King's Cup final officially begins at the Calderon Stadium!"
"The game has begun! Athletic Bilbao, who took the first kick, moved the football to the backcourt..."
"A big drama is on, and the last suspense of Spanish football this season is about to be revealed!"
After the game started, two forwards, Li Chuanqi and Liage, harassed and pressed in front, while the others looked for opposing players to defend.
Athletic Bilbao's core midfielder Suceta took over the center back Amorebieta in the hinterland. With a quick turn, Liag came forward.
Li Chuanqi shrewdly saw from Suseta's movements that he had no intention of passing the ball immediately, so he immediately approached quickly.
Suseta dunked with his right foot to get rid of the pressing Liag.
Liage quickly adjusted his center of gravity, turned around, and leaned hard on his left shoulder, hitting Suseta's right shoulder.
Suseta's center of gravity suddenly became unstable!
Suseta, who is extremely experienced, immediately adjusted his focus and wanted to regain control of football.
At this moment, a white figure flew over like lightning and snatched the football away from his toes!
"pretty!"
Cheers erupted from the stands.
"Lee! The two forwards of Santa Malaga worked closely together and stole the football from Suceta! Here comes the opportunity for Santa Malaga to attack!"
The Malaga TV commentator yelled: "Amorebieta is coming up... Liag goes forward... passes the ball!"
"Lee passed the ball and sent a through ball!"
"Liag got the football!"
"Shoot!..."
"No!...The football missed the goal!"
"Although this shot failed to break through the gate guarded by Iraisos, it was a wonderful frontcourt counterattack!"
"Come on, Santa Malaga!"
There was a huge cry of regret in the Calderon Stadium, followed by thunderous applause and cheers.
On the court, Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Irassos yelled at the defenders, Damn it, you actually let him finish the shot?!
Center back Amorebieta signaled to his teammates that they should come up to double-team him instead of focusing on Li Chuanqi behind him.
After expressing regret, Liage gave Li Chuanqi a thumbs up.
Bielsa, the coach of Athletic Bilbao who was sitting on the bench, frowned slightly. After thinking about it, he stood up, came to the command area, and shouted to Susetta: "Be decisive with the ball!"
In the stands, Li Xiaofeng and Yaisa shouted almost at the same time after feeling regretful: "It's all Liag's fault!"
…
When the game restarted, Athletic Bilbao did not give Liag and Li Chuanqi a chance to steal the ball and quickly pushed the football into the frontcourt.
They were greeted by the calculating Santa Malaga midfielders, who haggled with the Athletic Bilbao players over every inch of the turf.
The situation came to a deadlock, and Athletic Bilbao was not impatient and patiently dealt with these "hawkers".
In the fifth minute, Pablo stole the football in the hinterland.
Suseta did not give him a chance to launch a long pass to counterattack, and immediately interfered and blocked it.
Not only that, center forward Llorente immediately approached from the other direction and wanted to double-team.
Pablo had no choice but to move the football to the wing, and Athletic Bilbao winger Muniain immediately stepped forward to press him.
Santa Malaga lost the opportunity to launch a quick counterattack from the back.
The Malaga TV commentator sighed: "Belsa did not tell lies. He did conduct in-depth research on Santa Malaga. The first time Pablo got the ball, they immediately pressed him and gave him no use at all.
Opportunity to launch a quick counterattack with a long pass!”
"In this way, Santa Malaga has lost an important offensive method!"
A minute later, Athletic Bilbao succeeded in a high-pressure attack in the frontcourt. After Suseta grabbed the football, he passed the football to Llorente on the arc of the penalty area, and then quickly moved to the center.
Llorente didn't turn around forcefully and directly passed the ball back!
"Bang!..."
Suseta raised his right foot and took a long shot. The football roared towards the right side of the goal like a cannonball!
