Chapter 116: The second half of the decisive battle is coming
Li Chuanqi's goal ignited the passion of Calderon Stadium!
"The ball went in!..."
The Calderon stadium turned into a boiling sea, and the Santa Malaga supporters in the stands went completely crazy and howled hysterically.
The Malaga TV commentator grabbed the microphone, stood up suddenly and shouted: "The ball is in! It's in! It's in! It's in!..."
"Santa Malaga leads 1-0!"
"Lee became the first Serie D player to score a goal in the Copa del Rey final! His name will surely go down in history!"
"This is a classic frontcourt pressure and quick counterattack goal!"
"Santa Malaga is one step closer to making history of its own!"
Li Chuanqi immediately pointed at Liage, who sent him a through ball, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
In the stands, Li Xiaofeng and Yaisa hugged each other, jumped and jumped, and then started whispering.
Li Xianqi, who was standing next to them, vaguely heard the words "sneakers" and "jersey" and laughed happily.
Then I regretted that my brothers didn't come, otherwise the Calderon Stadium would have been emptied after the game...
On the Santa Malaga bench, Antonio asked the substitute players who had rushed onto the court to exit the court. You must be calm at this time, the game is not over yet.
Leah dragged Li Chuanqi to the sidelines, pointed at Li Chuanqi and shouted: "Li!"
Then, a neat and loud voice sounded from the Calderon Stadium:
"plum!……"
"plum!……"
"plum!……"
Since you have done heroic things, you must enjoy heroic treatment. This is what Liage wants to do.
On the court, after being silent, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Sucetta began to encourage his teammates: "Brothers! Cheer up! This is not the end of the world, we still have time!"
His encouragement worked. The Athletic Bilbao players took a deep breath, their faces returned to normal, and determination appeared in their eyes.
After the game restarted, Santa Malaga's midfield and frontcourt began to press in the frontcourt again.
This time Athletic Bilbao did not panic, passing the ball quickly and soon after moving the football upfield.
The Santa Malaga midfielder retreated very quickly and formed a wall outside the penalty area in a short period of time.
This is a return to normalcy.
The commentator of Malaga TV lamented: "Although Santa Malaga's ability to reach the final was largely due to luck, judging from this retreat, they are a team with very strict tactical discipline."
"They calmly and quickly changed from pressing tactics in the frontcourt to intensive defensive tactics!"
An offensive and defensive battle started in the Santa Malaga half. In the second minute of stoppage time in the first half, Athletic Bilbao left winger Muniain found a chance to shoot in the corner of the penalty area and shot with a rub. Football in
A wonderful arc was drawn in the air and flew towards the upper right corner of the goal!
In a flash of lightning, the football flew over the crossbar!
"coax!……"
The Calderon Stadium once again sounded huge sounds of regret and joy.
Two minutes later, Athletic Bilbao created an opportunity from the left, and full-back Ilaura made an assist and made a pass.
Llorente, who was ambushing in the middle, overwhelmed Barris Addo, jumped high and hit the goal with a fierce header!
The football hits the goal!
Miguel, who was standing on the goal line, looked at the football blasting towards him like a cannonball and instinctively stretched out his left hand!
The next moment, the football was blocked by him!
Zucculini did not give Athletic Bilbao a chance to make a follow-up shot. He took a step forward and kicked the football out of the sideline!
"No!……"
Athletic Bilbao screamed in pain, damn, such a goal can't be scored?!!!
The commentator of Malaga TV said in a positive tone: "I am very sure to tell everyone that Santa Malaga is a team favored by the goddess of luck! Otherwise, it cannot be explained why Athletic Bilbao did not score two must-goals.
!”
The Santa Malaga supporters in the stands high-fived and then laughed happily.
"Beep! Beep! Beep!..."
Two minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
The first half is over.
Athletic Bilbao players quickly returned to the locker room with their heads lowered. Santa Malaga players hugged each other, shook hands, encouraged each other, and left the field with cheers from supporters and returned to the locker room.
The voices of the commentators rang out from the broadcast booth:
"After five minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, and Santa Malaga temporarily led 1-0!"
"In previous Copa del Rey games, Santa Malaga won all the games when they scored first. I wonder if this pattern can be realized tonight!"
"Do you believe it? At the end of the first half, Santa Malaga actually took the lead! Moreover, there were only ten people left in the Bilbao Arena, and Bielsa also lost the right to direct on the spot!"
"Does Santa Malaga really want to go all out? And Athletic Bilbao can't stop them?"
"Atletico Bilbao didn't play badly in the first half. They created a lot of scoring opportunities. However, their luck was too bad and they often missed goals!"
"What can I say? I can only say that Santa Malaga are favored by the goddess of luck. Anyone who encounters them will have bad luck. Barcelona played against them and suffered from the flu; Messi was injured... The first half ended tonight
Albao's central defender and coach were sent off successively..."
The crowd of reporters on the sidelines was lively. There was so much to say in the first half.
"If Ortenetso hadn't been so reckless, Athletic Bilbao wouldn't have been so passive."
"The red card was a bit harsh, but a yellow card is enough. Santa Malaga was not only favored by the goddess of luck, but also taken care of by the referee."
"That penalty is indeed debatable, otherwise Bielsa wouldn't be so excited and wouldn't give it to the stands. So this penalty changes the balance on the field!"
"Actually, the main reason is that Athletic Bilbao has not adjusted its mentality well. It thinks that Santa Malaga is a D-level team, so it wants to take the lead early, so it seems a little impatient when shooting."
"Repeatedly missing goals made the players' mentality even worse, so Ortenetso committed the foul, which made Athletic Bilbao passive..."
Journalists analyze Athletic Bilbao.
A voice made them focus their discussion on Saint Malaga.
"In any case, the goal scored by Santa Malaga was at a professional level. The rationality of Li and Liag's handling of the ball has reached a very high level!"
Everyone nodded.
"Li's breakthroughs are still so sharp. It's a pity that he didn't use his own original techniques..."
"That technique seems to be an upgraded version of Ronaldinho's 'Ox Tail Wag', which seems to be called the 'Whip of God'..."
"I've seen that technique live, and it's really amazing. It requires a lot of coordination and waist and abdominal strength..."
"Liag's through ball was so exquisite, it directly penetrated Athletic Bilbao's defense!"
"It's not surprising that Liag has such a level. After all, he came from Real Madrid's youth training camp and was one of the best players at the time. However, Li is a bit surprising..."
"Indeed, when a player leaves the youth training camp during the most critical period of growth, his level turns out to be higher than that of many youth training players. What do you think is the reason behind this?"
"Today's youth training camps will only produce players of the same style in batches, and it is difficult to cultivate distinctive players."
…
After a fifteen-minute intermission, players from both sides returned to the court.
“Santa Malaga!”
“Santa Malaga!”
“Santa Malaga!”
Liage waved to the fans in a very general manner, while Li Chuanqi carefully twisted his aching ribs.
The voice from the broadcast booth sounded again:
"Dear fans and friends! The second half is about to begin!"
"Dear audience friends, after a fifteen-minute intermission, the players from both sides returned to the court..."
"... Santa Malaga entered the second half with a one-goal lead. With one less player, Athletic Bilbao, can they turn their offense into goals in the second half? It's worth looking forward to!"
