The first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals is approaching, and Santa Malaga is actively preparing for it.
As time goes by, Li Chuanqi's recovery condition is getting better and better.
Liage still "firmly" plays the role of teacher Li Chuanqi. Although Li Chuanqi's performance makes him heartbroken again and again, he still sticks to the role of "teacher".
"Break through him!"
"Shoot! Far corner!...Beautiful!...Look, I just said the far corner can go in..."
"'Whip of God'! Beautiful!... Get rid of him!... No! Why force the shot? Damn it, what is MiG doing? You can't even save this kind of ball!"
"Liag, this is a blind spot, damn it, why don't you guard it!"
"Shoot! No... why the hell do you have to pass..."
"Liag, I think I can break through him. After breaking through, the shooting angle will be better..."
"Cumming! Damn it, why do you need to cum! Isn't rubbing cumming bad?"
"Liage, I think burst shooting is more comfortable. No matter how you shoot, as long as it goes in..."
Liage, who was coaching on the sidelines, was criticized by Li Chuanqi and his teammates again and again, which made him very embarrassed. However, his nerves were tenacious and he stood firmly on the sidelines to guide Li Chuanqi.

On January 18, the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey began, with Espanyol and the second division team Mirandes taking the lead.
Espanyol is a veteran team in La Liga. It is a professional football club located in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It has a history of more than 100 years and won the King's Cup in 1929!
They won the King's Cup in 1940 and the runner-up in the King's Cup in 1941. They then entered the King's Cup finals in 1947 and 1957, and won the King's Cup again in 1999.
In 2000, the Spaniards went all the way in the UEFA Cup. After eliminating the German powerhouse Werder Bremen in the semi-finals, they met the domestic league team Sevilla in the final.
After a 2-2 draw, the Spaniard finally lost the championship trophy with a penalty kick of 1-3.
Espanyol is the only team in the history of the UEFA Cup to maintain an unbeaten record for 90 minutes, but failed to take home the championship trophy as expected.
Mirandes is a football club in Miranda de Ebro, Burgos Province, Spain. It struggles in Serie C and B and has never entered Serie A. It is a small club.
Judging from the historical performance, the Spaniard's performance in the Copa del Rey is far from being comparable to that of the second-division team Mirandes.
Aspen reported on the pre-match analysis of this game: "The Espanyol team is obviously very strong. The La Liga team performed well at home. They defeated their opponents at home in the last round of the cup. They have recently had 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss. They are in good form.
The recent home record of 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses is also very strong.
This round is against a weak team at home, and there is a high chance of winning with all our strength.
The visiting team is a Spanish second division team. Although the team has been in relatively good shape recently, it is almost impossible to win against the Spaniards. Their biggest wish should be to score away goals."
Before the game, neither the media nor the fans were optimistic about Mirandez. Aspen didn't even mention Mirandez's name and replaced their name with "visiting team".
At nine o'clock in the evening, the first leg of the match between the two sides started at the Espanyol's home stadium, Cornela El Prat Stadium.
What people didn't expect was that it was Mirandes who scored first!
In the 28th minute, forward Arroyo's shot from the right side of the penalty area hit the far corner post and went into the net!
Mirandez leads 1-0!
In the 23rd minute of the second half, Mirandes midfielder Pablo Infante scored in front of the goal, Mirandes expanded the lead!
Two to zero!
Under heavy pressure, the Spaniard burst out with amazing energy and scored three goals in just five minutes.
In the 40th, 42nd and 45th minutes of the second half, Weiss, Rui Font and Verdu scored respectively.
In this way, the Spaniards relied on their last-minute burst to stunningly reverse the game.
However, the Espanyol team was not happy about this. If the opponent had not lost physical fitness at the last moment, they would have been overturned by this second-division team at home.
And more importantly, Mirandes scored two away goals. After returning home, they only need to win to eliminate the Spaniards and advance to the semi-finals, writing their own history and their own glory!
The next day, the Copa del Rey war continued to rage, with Athletic Bilbao hosting Mallorca in a showdown between two La Liga teams.
There was another more eye-catching game that night, that was Real Madrid playing against Barcelona at home!
This is a showdown between the two giants in La Liga.
…
Athletic Bilbao is currently ranked 5th in the Spanish Primera Division. The team's record in the last 6 games is 4 wins and 2 draws, scoring 10 goals and conceding 1 goal; Mallorca is currently ranked 16th in the Spanish Primera Division, with 1 goal scored and 10 goals scored.
The team's record in the last 6 games is 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, scoring 10 goals and conceding 7 goals.
Before the game, the media generally believed that Athletic Bilbao could defeat Mallorca at home.
Marca made a pre-match prediction: "As expected, Athletic Bilbao tied with the promising Albacete in the away game and returned to home to defeat their opponent 4-0.
Facing Mallorca, who is not as strong as itself, Athletic Bilbao, which has always been in Copa del Rey matches, will not make any mistakes at home because of its experience.
Mallorca's recent performance in the league has not improved much. The previous 6-1 victory over Real Sociedad at home was ultimately due to the weak opponent. However, in this game, Mallorca is not as good as Bilbao in terms of strength and form.
.”
At 8 o'clock in the evening on the 19th, the game started on time. After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the dominant Athletic Bilbao defeated Mallorca 2-0 and entered the semi-finals with one foot!
After the match between Athletic Bilbao and Mallorca, the match between Real Madrid and Barcelona started.
The game attracted worldwide attention.
After the game started, Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Barcelona by virtue of their home advantage. In the 11th minute of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from Benzema on the left and then cut in and shot successfully. Real Madrid was 1 to 0!
After falling behind, Barcelona launched a counterattack and the game became fierce.
In the fifth minute of the second half, Barcelona captain Puyol made a diving header in the Real Madrid penalty area, helping Barcelona equalize the score.
The score remained deadlocked until the 32nd minute of the second half, when Messi passed Abidal in front of the penalty area, and Abidal completed the winner!
In this way, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and laid a solid foundation for advancing to the semi-finals.
Of course, after the game, the two giants had a fierce war of words...
