Chapter 44: That penalty doesn't exist! (Only one chapter today)
At this time, Málaga's away game against Getafe had ended. The Málaga TV commentator loudly said: "Málaga defeated Getafe 1-0 with great difficulty and advanced to the next round. Congratulations to them!
What we would like to congratulate even more is Santa Malaga, who defeated Zaragoza with a score of 2 to 1 and miraculously entered the fifth round of the King's Cup!
They once again refreshed the best result of a D-level team in the King's Cup and became the first D-level team in history to reach the fifth round of the King's Cup!
From the text live broadcast just now, we can also see how difficult it was for them to win this game. Zaragoza equalized the score in the first minute of stoppage time.
But Santa Malaga did not collapse. Two minutes later, they used young player Li's personal ability to win a penalty kick, thus defeating Zaragoza, which was several levels higher than them!
New history has been written, Santa Malaga has brought us too much shock, but we don't know much about this team.
I just received a notification from the TV station that we will conduct an exclusive interview with Santa Malaga in the near future, and I look forward to that moment!"
At the end of the game, the commentator simply commented on the Malaga game, focusing on the D-level team of Santa Malaga.
This made the Málaga fans in front of the TV very uncomfortable, but it made the supporters of the D-level team very happy.
At the Rose Garden Stadium, after the game, Antonio had no chance to shake hands with the Zaragoza coach because the opponent was sent off early with a red card.
Antonio did not feel regretful. He hugged his players one by one. This was his highlight moment as a coach.
Worth it!
As a coach of a D-level team, he led the team to defeat four high-level league teams and reach the fifth round of the King's Cup!
His name and that of Saint Malaga will go down in history!
In an interview with the media, Antonio lamented: "The game was more difficult than we imagined, but we finally won! Thank you to the players and the support of the fans in the stands!
Zaragoza is a Serie A team and we have never had the chance to play against a Serie A team in an official match before, tonight was the first time and luckily we succeeded the first time!
Thank God!
Thanks to all!”
A reporter from Zaragoza was very dissatisfied with Antonio's way of speaking. He interrupted him and asked: "Some people think that Zaragoza's starting lineup does not have a main player, so Zaragoza lost tonight."
Do you agree with this view of underestimating the enemy?"
Antonio raised his eyebrows: "The game is over. Whether Zaragoza sent all the main players or the substitute lineup, it doesn't matter anymore, we won anyway!"
We are a D-level team, and it is normal for others to look down upon us, so I will not feel angry because others look down upon us.
Their substitute lineup is also better than ours. After all, they are a La Liga team, and we are only a D-level team."
Antonio's words hit the reporter hard like a hammer, leaving him at a loss as to what to say.
Not far away, Zaragoza's assistant coach was being interviewed on behalf of the head coach: "Sending a substitute lineup to play is a decision made by our coaching staff after discussion.
We thought tonight would not be too difficult, but we didn’t expect the opponent to be so tenacious and resilient. This is something we didn’t expect before the game.”
Local reporters in Malaga undoubtedly wanted to rub salt into their wounds. A local reporter asked: "What considerations did your coaching staff decide to send out a substitute lineup?"
The assistant coach of Zaragoza was extremely embarrassed and angry, Damn it, as long as you are not a fool, you will know why we sent substitutes to play, do you have to embarrass me?
"Um……"
It would definitely not work if he didn't answer. After thinking for a long time, he said with a dull expression: "Actually, everyone can also think of the reason. After all, the opponent is only a D-level team."
He immediately started to fight back: "That penalty doesn't exist!
The referee’s misjudgment determined the outcome of this game, so we don’t think we are the losing side!”
Speaking of the penalty kick, he became angry: "Everyone knows that the penalty kick does not exist. The location of the foul was clearly outside the penalty area, but the referee awarded a penalty kick!
That penalty kick meant that we had no time to equalize the score, so we lost this game to the referee!"
The reporters suddenly became lively. Some people thought that the penalty kick was awarded without any problem, while others thought it was a serious misjudgment that directly caused Zaragoza to lose the game.
…
Santa Malaga players jogged around the field, led by captain Pablo, to express their gratitude to the supporters in the stands.
Everywhere he went there were cheers and warm applause.
When we arrived at the stands where students from Li Chuanqi School gathered, screams immediately erupted from the stands.
"plum!"
"plum!"
"plum!"
They roared loudly at Li Chuanqi to vent their excitement.
"Hurry up and wave, why are you standing there in a daze?"
Liage slapped Li Chuanqi: "Damn it, if it were me, hum..."
Li Chuanqi was reminded and waved to the enthusiastic students.
Miguel smiled and said: "Boy, you will be a celebrity in the school from now on!"
Baris Addo laughed: "He was a celebrity in the school many years ago!"
As a group of relatives and friends walked into the stadium, Li Chuanqi walked naturally toward his family. His father patted him on the shoulder and said, "Huzi, you did a good job. You are worthy of being my son!"
My brother and my mother glanced at my father.
With stars in her eyes, my sister shouted in a slightly hoarse voice: "Brother! You are the most handsome person in this stadium tonight!"
Li Chuanqi stroked her hair dotingly: "As long as you are happy, don't shout so loudly in the future, your voice is hoarse."
Then he looked at his father in formal clothes and smiled and said: "With your support behind me, of course I have to perform my best."
The father took one look at his eldest son's legs, shook his head and said, "I will no longer work hard. Good health is the most important thing."
Li Chuanqi didn't take these words to heart and turned to look at her mother who was wearing a floral skirt: "Mom, I will wear more skirts in the future. You look very beautiful when you are dressed up!"
Dad said loudly: "Of course, I think about how many people chased your mother back then, and it was not easy for me to catch her!"
My mother's face turned red and she looked at the father and son angrily: "Old man, I'm not here to watch the game tonight, so I don't want to dress like this."
After chatting for a few words, brother Li Chuanrui left them and went to talk to Li Chuanqi's teammates.
Many players in Santa Malaga come from the Malaga youth academy, so they know each other before.
"Li, what a pity. If that incident hadn't happened, you would have been racing in La Liga by now!"
Zucculini patted Li Chuanrui on the shoulder. They were players of the same age group. Li Chuanrui was the most outstanding one among them back then. Almost everyone thought he should become a real professional player.
"Actually, there is no regret. Now my brother also has the opportunity to become a professional player, and I think he is better than me in playing football!"
