Pajaritos asked Juan to go back and reprint a contract. If there are no problems, the contract can be signed tomorrow and the money can be transferred to their account the day after tomorrow.
The news spread throughout Santa Malaga that night, and the players were extremely excited. We were now a truly sponsored team!
…
On the first day of November, the sun was shining brightly. The Spanish Football Federation conducted the draw for the fourth round of the Copa del Rey and then announced the draw results.
The fourth round is a watershed for the Copa del Rey because from the fourth round La Liga teams have participated.
So some people say that the King's Cup doesn't really start until the fourth round.
La Liga teams do not need to participate in the first three rounds, and they will not all appear until the fourth round.
With the participation of La Liga teams, the Copa del Rey competition really attracted people's attention.
Barcelona's opponent is the third-division team Ospitalet.
This team eliminated two second division teams before advancing to the fourth round, but they were very unlucky and ran into Barcelona after advancing to the fourth round.
Real Madrid's opponent is Bonferredina, a second division team.
Of course, the opponents of Santa Malaga that have attracted much attention from the supporters of Santa Malaga and the national D-level football circles are of course.
Zaragoza!
Zaragoza is Santa Malaga's opponent in the fourth round.
Zaragoza Football Club is located in the northeastern region of Spain. It is the gateway between Catalonia and Madrid and has always produced talents.
The 1960s were Zaragoza's most glorious era.
The five players on the front line, Canario, Santos, Marcelino, Villa and Lapetra, were called the "Fantastic Five". In 1964, Zaragoza won both the La Liga Championship and the Fairs Cup Championship.
!
After bidding farewell to the Fantastic Five in the 1970s, the team began to decline. After finishing second in La Liga in the 1974-75 season, they were relegated the following season.
Although stars like Frank Rijkaard joined the team in the 1980s, the results were not ideal.
It wasn't until the young coach Victor Fernandez took over as coach in the 1990s that the team won the 1994 King's Cup and the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup relying on stars such as Esneider and Poyet!
After entering the 21st century, the team gradually became more South American, constantly inviting high-level players from Argentina and Brazil to join.
Especially in the 2007-08 season, the team's frontcourt gathered stars such as Argentina's D. Milito, D'Alessandro, Aimar and Brazil's Matuzalun, and its offensive power cannot be underestimated.
In the 2007-08 season, the team's strength was further enhanced by the joining of former AC Milan player Oliveira.
But they had constant internal strife during the season, and were eventually relegated unexpectedly with a poor record of 10 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses. Diego Milito, Aimar, Sergio Garcia, Matuzalen, Oliveira
He left the team one after another.
The civilian-oriented Zaragoza is in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, ranking 14th for two consecutive seasons.
This season Zaragoza has introduced several players who are not well-known but have considerable strength. However, their results have not improved much compared with the previous two seasons. In the first round, they were defeated by Real Madrid 0-6 at home!
La Liga has played ten rounds and Zaragoza has accumulated 15 points with four wins, three losses and three draws, temporarily ranking 14th in the standings.
…
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still shining brightly, and Santa Malaga players had already begun to gather at the Malaga Park Stadium.
"Zaragoza?"
Liag asked: "Our opponent this round is Zaragoza?"
After getting a positive answer, he thought for a moment and said: "This is a good sign, not a bad sign."
Miguel nodded and said: "Fortunately, we met Zaragoza. If we had met Real Madrid and Barcelona in the fourth round, then we would be finished..."
Liag raised his eyebrows: "So what if we meet Real Madrid and Barcelona? If we keep going, we will run into them sooner or later."
"Cowardice before fighting? We cannot have such thoughts!"
Li Chuanqi admires Liag very much. This guy is so confident when he encounters any opponent. This may be directly related to the fact that he comes from the Real Madrid youth training camp.
"There is an old saying in China that goes, 'Bare feet are not afraid of those wearing shoes.' We are barefoot now. We are afraid of what they will do. We must have the ambition to bring down the king!"
Aren’t you afraid of wearing shoes if you are barefoot?
The teammates didn't quite understand this sentence, so Li Chuanqi had to explain it to them slowly.
Baris Addo nodded and said: "I support Liag and Li's point of view. It doesn't matter Real Madrid, it doesn't matter Barcelona, just do it when you meet them. As for the result... what are you thinking about, right, Miguel?
"
Miguel looked a little embarrassed and felt a little guilty. He blushed and explained: "I don't mean to be afraid of meeting Real Madrid and Barcelona. What I mean is that if we don't meet them, our chances of advancing will increase."
Pablo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "They are not targeting you. They are fighting high-spirited. Don't have any ideas."
Pablo clapped his hands and called everyone together. After looking around for a week, he said in a calm voice: "Now that the draw results are out, our opponent is Zaragoza! So, in the next period of time, everyone should look more for Zaragoza.
game research.”
His voice became serious: "Without adequate research, we will be able to find each other's weaknesses. This matter is related to whether we can ultimately defeat our opponents!
The old rule is to study the opposing players, find out their weaknesses and find countermeasures!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Pablo clapped his hands vigorously and bent down.
The players surrounding him put their hands on the shoulders of their teammates next to them, forming a circle.
Pablo, standing in the center of the circle, roared: "Come on, Santa Malaga!"
The players gathered in a circle shouted: "Come on, Santa Malaga!"
After the roar, everyone rushed to the court to prepare for this afternoon's training.
This ritual has a very strong sense.
The supporters on the sidelines looked at the players with smiles.
Antonio was unavailable to coach the training this afternoon, so Pablo took on the responsibility of coaching.
