Chapter 69: Players who do not play cards according to the routine
At 7:20, Santa Malaga entered the stadium to warm up. The fans in the stands cheered for them, and some even held up banners - Valencia, enter the semifinals!
"I like this saying!"
While waving to the fans, Liag sighed: "But this sentence is not domineering enough."
Miguel asked strangely while putting on his gloves: "It's not domineering enough. Can you suggest someone who is more domineering?"
Liag's mouth was slightly open and he was thinking about words. Li Chuanqi suddenly said: "Punch Real Madrid and kick Barcelona!"
"puff!……"
"puff!……"
Everyone laughed, and Liage said melancholy: "Li, what you said is really domineering, but it's a pity that it can't be realized, they will definitely eliminate one of them.
Also, have you ever thought about my feelings? I still have deep feelings for Real Madrid."
Li Chuanqi said quickly: "Sorry! Sorry! I forgot about it for a while."
No one took Li Chuanqi's words to heart, punching Real Madrid and kicking Barcelona. This is indeed a very domineering dream, but is this possible?
Not to mention in La Liga, even looking at the whole of Europe, how many teams can do this?
Ten minutes after Santa Malaga warmed up, Valencia belatedly entered the stadium to warm up.
"Valencia still doesn't take Santa Malaga seriously. Have they forgotten the tragedy that happened to Levante?"
A reporter from Malaga was clearly unhappy with Valencia.
A reporter from the Madrid area laughed and said: "This is normal. No matter how strong Santa Malaga is, it is only a D-level team.
Moreover, in the second round of the last round, Levante almost achieved a huge comeback, so Valencia believes that Santa Malaga is not as powerful as people say."
These words resonated with other reporters: "If professional teams treated Santa Malaga as a giant like Real Madrid or Barcelona, Santa Malaga would have been eliminated long ago."
"In the eyes of professional teams, Serie D football is a joke. Of course they cannot regard Santa Malaga as a strong and equal opponent."
"Although it is very rare for Santa Malaga to reach this point and have the ability to upset, in the eyes of professional teams, they are only a D-level team, no matter how strong they are, they are only a D-level team."
"The fact that Santa Malaga has reached this point is due to the accumulation of countless miracles. Professional teams don't think that the goddess of luck will always favor them."
Valencia coach Unai Emery stood on the sidelines and did not care about his team's warm-up. These matters were taken care of by his assistants. He was observing the warm-up at Santa Malaga, especially the status of Li Chuanqi and Liag.
He had done some research on Santa Malaga before the game, and he was very interested in Li Chuanqi, because Li Chuanqi had scored eight goals in the Copa del Rey, and he had done so in five games.
It is quite difficult for a D-League player to score goals when playing against a professional team, but this guy averaged almost two goals per game, which is very surprising.
And this one is very young, only seventeen years old, which makes it even more rare.
If the young player's performance tonight satisfies him, he will extend an invitation to him.
To this end, he specially invited club president Manuel Llorente to watch the game tonight.
At this time, Li Chuanqi was doing shooting practice. Pablo passed the ball straight. He moved like a rabbit, raised his left foot and fired with a blast. The football blasted away from the goal like a cannonball!
Miguel, who was standing on the goal line, didn't even make a save.
Unai Emery's eyelids couldn't help but twitch. Is the strength, angle, and smoothness of this shot any different from that of a professional player?
He feels that scoring eight goals in five games makes sense.
…
"No. 17, the opponent's No. 17 youngster must not give him space to shoot!"
When returning to the locker room for pre-match tactical arrangements, Unai Emery said solemnly to left midfielder Costa and midfielder Fernando: "I know what you are thinking, thinking that he is just a D-level player.
And he's only seventeen years old.
When I heard he scored eight goals in five games, I was as skeptical as you and thought it was an accident.
But when I was warming up just now, I watched his shooting and I thought he would create difficulties for us!
Therefore, I ask you to throw away your doubts and take it seriously!"
Costa and midfielder Fernando on the left looked at each other. The coach is making a fuss out of a molehill. He is really that strong. He has already entered a professional team. Why does he still need to play in a D-level team?
Are you blind as a Spanish scout?
"Okay, coach!"
However, the two of them immediately agreed.
Unai Emery was helpless because he knew that the two of them did not take what he said as the same thing.
After the game starts, you will know how correct what I said is...
…
In the visiting team's locker room, Antonio smiled after arranging the starting lineup: "Welcome Lee back to the game and the starting lineup!"
"good!"
"good!"
The players cheered and some even clapped.
Li Chuanqi stood up and bowed to everyone: "I will definitely not disappoint everyone's expectations!"
The cheers were louder and the atmosphere in the locker room was quite lively.
Liage pursed his lips and wanted to say a few words, but in the end he said nothing.
Damn it, I am the biggest player on the team, you damn guys...
After Antonio waited for silence, he came to the tactical board and started arranging tactics: "We are playing away from home tonight, so our tactics are defensive counterattacks.
Be concise when attacking and do everything you can to get the football to Liag and Li.
Oh, by the way, Liag, don't forget that your role tonight is the fulcrum.
He got to the front and stood firm, and then found a way to send the football to Li's feet..."
It's heartbreaking.
Liage looked at the ceiling, feeling helpless.
Damn it, have you forgotten who saved the team in the last game?
it's me!
It’s me, Liag!
Now that Li has returned from injury, I have become the fulcrum?!
Became a supporting role?!
"Liag?!"
Seeing that Liag didn't express his position, Antonio looked at him and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Well, he is the cub I raised by myself, I... admit it!
Liage took a deep breath and said with a smile on his face: "I was just thinking about how to pass the ball to Li's feet!"
"I completely agree with your point of view. I am a fulcrum tonight, the fulcrum of the frontcourt!"
Li Chuanqi whispered to Liage: "It's okay, I will pass the ball to you!"
Liage felt warm in his heart, this student is good...
"If you have a chance to shoot, just shoot it yourself. After all, we all want to help you realize your dream." Liage patted Li Chuanqi on the shoulder and said, "Goals are the stepping stone."
Liage thought that Li Chuanqi would be moved after hearing these words and would choose to insist on passing the ball to him. However, Li Chuanqi thought about it and nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. Don't blame me for not passing the ball to you when the time comes."
"
Damn, why don't you follow the routine?
Liage's eyelids twitched twice and he said helplessly: "How could I blame you?"
