Chapter 46: Fifth Round Opponent - Levante

After Li Chuanqi returned to school, he once again became the star of the school. His classmates were full of admiration. He also became a frequent visitor to the principal's office, but this time it was not to deal with fights.

Naturally, there were more and more love letters in his schoolbag, and his sister Li Xiaofeng wanted to exchange her big schoolbag for him, saying that it could hold more love letters.

Of course Li Chuanqi did not agree.



During a family chat, Li Chuanqi finally understood why Liage did not play in high-level leagues.

According to his brother’s description, Liage was very romantic back then and would change girlfriends more frequently than he would change clothes.

"During an important game, he did something incredible.

As the main forward in that game, he won the starting position.

During halftime, he did not enter the locker room, and no one knew where he went.

He hurriedly entered the court only a few minutes into the second half, and by this time the coach had already arranged for other players to replace him in the game.

After the game, the coach asked him where he went during the halftime break, but he did not answer, which made the coach very angry.

The next day, the coach finally figured out what he was doing at halftime."

Li Chuanqi opened his mouth wide and blurted out: "He can't be with his girlfriend during halftime..."

Li Chuanrui nodded: "The reason why this matter was known to the coach was because it was seen by a stadium staff member at the time.

This staff member threatened Liag and asked him to give money, but Liag was unwilling to give it, so the staff exposed the matter."

Dad drank a glass of wine: "Strong! So damn strong!"

Li Chuanqi was indeed shocked. During the intermission... how hungry is this guy...

"For Real Madrid, this is a scandal, and of course they will not expose it themselves, so they deal with it in a low-key manner and let Liag go.

The football circle is only so big, and paper cannot cover the fire. Other teams found out about this, and no team was willing to invite him."

Li Chuanrui said: "So, he said that many second-tier teams have extended invitations to him, and it is very likely that it is him..."

Mom looked at Li Chuanqi and concluded: "So, Huzi, you should be calmer when doing things in the future. Some things are irreparable after they are done. Why did your brother say this? He is just reminding you."

I don’t even know who my girlfriend is, what does this have to do with me being a single person?

But Li Chuanqi still nodded obediently and agreed to his mother.

Li Chuanqi was really surprised by Liage's toughness, and he also understood the reason why professional teams have not invited him yet.

In order to play in high-level leagues, Li Chuanqi trained harder and continued to hone his skills in the Malaga League and Southern District competitions.

The biggest change that the victory over Zaragoza brought to Santa Malaga is that the players are more confident.

At a certain period of that game, they were on par with Zaragoza on the field. Now some people have suggested that they can change their tactics appropriately and allow more people to participate in the attack.

The advantage of this is that it increases the connection points and improves the success rate of the attack. The disadvantage is that the defense will become weak.

This problem tormented Antonio.

As the coach of a D-level team, he must respect the opinions of his players, but he must also consider the team's performance.



In late December, the fourth round of the Copa del Rey was completed, resulting in 16 teams advancing to the fifth round.

Among these sixteen teams, La Liga teams occupy 14 seats. La Liga team Mirandes defeated Villarreal unexpectedly and became the only team in La Liga.

The most eye-catching one is of course the D-level team of Santa Malaga.

According to the rules of the Copa del Rey, a two-leg home and away game format will be played starting from the fifth round.

Just after Christmas, the fifth round draw results of the Copa del Rey came out.

Santa Malaga's opponent is La Liga team Levante!

The only thing that is good for them is that the first round is at home.

Levante is a football club based in the city of Valencia in eastern Spain.

Levante, named after a coast in the Spanish city of Valencia, was founded in 1909, predating its city rival Valencia Football Club.

Levante's predecessor was the East Coast Team established in 1909, formerly known as Levante FC.

After the Spanish Civil War, the club's stadium was completely destroyed, and the Tarragona team in the same city lost most of its players in the war, so the two clubs merged to form a new team in 1939.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Levante was born out of the Valencia grassroots team. Although it cannot compare with the Valencia club in terms of performance, they have also had players like Di Stefano and Miggiato in history. A star like Vicki.

Cruyff also played here in the 1980-81 season.

Being stuck in Segunda División all year round has caused this team to lose its former glory.

After returning to La Liga after 39 years, they finished 13th last season, so Levante hopes to stay in the first division for a long time and create a new future.

Levante has become the biggest dark horse in La Liga this season. Now that La Liga has played seventeen rounds and is about to pass the halfway point, Levante is actually ranked fourth in the standings!

In the third round, they defeated Real Madrid 1-0 at home, raising their ranking to ninth place. Then they won seven consecutive rounds and rose to the top of the list!

But then they lost three consecutive rounds and dropped to fourth place.

The biggest blow Levante suffered this season was their away game against Barcelona, ​​where they suffered a 0-5 defeat.

Even so, the fact that Levante has risen this season cannot be concealed.

So when the draw results were announced, the Spanish media almost unanimously believed that the magic of Santa Malaga would be ended by Levante.

AS reported: "Santa Malaga's luck has run out, so they drew Levante, who defeated Real Madrid in this round.

Although Levante recently suffered a 0-5 defeat at the feet of Barcelona, ​​it must be considered that it happened at the terrifying Camp Nou.

So we think Levante is still a strong team!

The top four teams in the standings have a chance to enter the Champions League next season. The biggest suspense in the game between Levante and Santa Malaga is what score they will win the game with?

If they want to win better, they can send half of their main team to play. If they just want a victory, they can send substitutes to play.

The myth of Santa Malaga will end with this round, that's it, there can be no other outcome!"

Mundo Deportivo said: “Although Levante’s defeat at Camp Nou was ugly, there is no way they could lose to a D-level team.

Although this D-level team has created many miracles before, the reason why miracles are called miracles is because they are small-probability events."

The Malaga media expressed disappointment with the draw. The Malaga Evening News said: "Obviously, God thinks that it is a wrong decision to let the two Malaga teams enter the fifth round, so this round will destroy Malaga."

Two teams.

Malaga has very bad luck. They will compete with Real Madrid in the fifth round for a spot in the quarterfinals.

In the last six games between the two sides, Real Madrid has an absolute advantage with five wins and one draw. Two months ago, Real Madrid beat Malaga with four goals at the Rose Garden Stadium.

Therefore, it is almost impossible for Malaga to eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the quarterfinals.

Let's take a look at Santa Malaga, another team that gave us too much shock. Their opponent in this round is Levante, who is ranked fourth in the standings.

Santa Malaga's opponents in every round are teams that are stronger than them. From the C team to the B team, from the B team to the current A team, every round is not easy for them.

of.

In the words of their coach Antonio, ‘We treat every round as a final’.

It is this determination that allows them to create miracles countless times.

Entering the fifth round, they have once again set a new record for the best result of a Spanish third-division team in the Copa del Rey.

But this round is really difficult for them. On the one hand, Levante is not ranked Zaragoza in the middle and lower reaches. On the other hand, it is basically impossible to expect Levante to repeat Zaragoza's mistakes.

After this newspaper learned of the draw results, it immediately interviewed Santa Malaga coach Antonio.

He didn't express much about the result of the draw, and his mentality was still very calm. "We are lucky to be able to play against a La Liga team ranked so high in Levante. In fact, we have already been mentally prepared to play against a high-ranking team."

.'

When talking about his expectations for this game, he said, 'We are mentally prepared for any result, no matter what the result is, this season will be fantastic for us.'

Yes, they are indeed having a fantastic season. In the long history of the Copa del Rey, they are the first D-level team to reach the fifth round.

We hope that they can enjoy the joy that football brings them as they did in the previous rounds, play their own style and tenacity in the game!

The result no longer matters to them."

The media with the largest sales volume in Malaga is not optimistic about the two teams in the city because they have encountered strong opponents.
