Valencia turned the score around thanks to Albelda's brace, much to the relief of coach Unai Emery who was on the bench.
He came to the command area for the first time in the second half, called the core midfielder Mateo to his side, and gave him the command to continue the fierce attack to expand the results.
At the VIP table, Chairman Manuel Llorente took out a cigar, lit it, and took a comfortable puff.
"The second half was pretty cool."
After blowing out a puff of smoke, Manuel Llorente said: "What was played in the first half? There is still a bit of flavor in the second half, just like this cigar, strong!"
The club executive next to him shrugged and said: "Actually, we played well in the first half, but we were just a little unlucky.
Fortunately, Lady Luck no longer favored us in the second half."
Is this playing devil’s advocate?
Manuel Llorente didn't care about him. He was in a good mood now that the score was ahead.
On the court, the Santa Malaga players looked a little ugly, and Pablo encouraged his teammates loudly: "We still have time!"
Still have time?
Who do you think you are?
Where do you think you are playing football?
You are lucky to have scored a goal. Do you still have ideas to equalize the score?
Valencia center Aduriz gave Pablo a contemptuous look.
Li Chuanqi said loudly: "The captain is right, we still have time."
Pooh!
Aduriz couldn't help but spit on the turf, here comes another idiot!
Soldado said jokingly: "Aduriz, spitting is unhygienic, it's wrong."
Aduriz pursed his lips and said: "I don't want to either, I just heard two flies buzzing and wanted to drown them with a mouthful of saliva!"
What is surprising is that neither Pablo nor Li Chuanqi's expressions changed, nor did they become furious.
This made Aduriz feel very uncomfortable, as if he had been punched in cotton.
The game restarted soon, and Valencia wanted to pursue the victory and expand the result. Except for center back Alba, everyone else entered the Santa Malaga half.
The situation was extremely unfavorable for Santa Malaga.
In the 38th minute of the second half, Valencia completed a steal in the frontcourt, and Soldado was preparing to deliver cannonballs to Aduriz.
Pablo used a reasonable collision to make Soldado lose his center of gravity, and took the opportunity to make a tackle and shovel the football away.
Like a bolt of lightning, Li Chuanqi flew forward and controlled the football. With a fake move, he shook away Mateo who was coming to press him, and then turned around forcefully!
"pretty!"
"nice shot!"
This is a rare and wonderful moment for Santa Malaga, and the supporters of Santa Malaga cheered loudly.
The Malaga TV commentator said loudly: "Li, the young player Li beautifully got rid of Mateo's press! Able to score nine goals in the King's Cup, Li not only has superb shooting skills, but also has super ball control ability.
!”
In the stands, Li Xiaofeng and Yaisa shouted excitedly:
"More money! More money!"
"Price increase! Price increase!"
On the court, Li Chuanqi started dribbling the ball at high speed, and Liage standing in the center circle shouted for the ball.
Valencia midfielder Fernando pounces!
Li Chuanqi made a feint to the left, buckled with his left foot, leaving Fernando behind, and then immediately passed Liag with a diagonal kick.
After passing the ball, Li Chuanqi began to advance at high speed.
"Snapped!……"
Liage leaned on Alba behind him, raised his right foot, and passed the ball directly.
The football flew up and flew towards the left rear of Liage, which was directly in front of Li Chuanqi!
The Valencian TV commentator shouted: "Danger!"
The Malaga TV commentator shouted: "Opportunity!"
Li Chuanqi, who was driving forward at high speed, looked at the football flying in the air and shouted in his heart: Well done!
I saw him like a galloping horse, surpassing Liag and Alba in an instant, holding the football in front of him with his head!
"Single sword!"
"Chance!"
The Santa Malaga supporters in the stands were excited.
No one could sit down on the Santa Malaga bench. They all stood up and looked nervously and excitedly at Li Chuanqi running wildly on the field with the football.
At this moment, Li Chuanqi on the field was like a handsome and peerless swordsman, holding a sword and going to kill the enemy.
Alba was still chasing after him desperately, but he was getting more and more desperate because he felt that when the little guy in front of him finished his shot, he couldn't even catch up.
But he didn't give up.
Valencia goalkeeper Guaita abandoned the goal!
The tense atmosphere at the Mestalla made the air freeze.
Li Chuanqi dribbled the ball into the penalty area!
Guaita continued to rush forward and put pressure on Li Chuanqi!
Li Chuanqi did not hesitate and dunked hard with his right foot, and the football flew past Guaita's left front.
Guaita moved quickly!
Due to his quick turn, he looked very embarrassed, like a drunk man, staggering towards the football.
Li Chuanqi didn't give him a chance. He took a few steps forward as fast as lightning, raised his left foot and launched a push!
The moment he pushed, Guaita jumped up, he was going to create a miracle!
The air at the Mestalla stadium was frozen.
Valencia fans feel extremely desperate. This is a kind of despair when death comes and you have no way to escape death.
The Santa Malaga supporters were so nervous that their hearts felt as if they were in their throats, and if they were not careful, they would jump out of their bodies...
On the court, amid the lightning, the football quickly passed through the turf under Guaita, crossed the goal line, and entered the net!
"Ah! The ball went in!..."
As soon as the football crossed the goal line, the Santa Malaga supporters howled wildly.
"No!...God!...No!"
The Valencia fans screamed in pain, they could not escape the shadow of death.
"Two goals!"
The commentator of Malaga TV shouted excitedly: "Lee scored twice! Valencia has Alberda, Santa Malaga has Lee!
Two to two!
Santa Maraga equalized the score!
This is Lee’s tenth goal in the Copa del Rey this season!”
The Valencia TV commentator shook his head and said: "This is a typical Santa Malaga goal. Santa Malaga's offense is still so simple and efficient.
This time, captain Pablo was responsible for the tackle, Li was responsible for passing the ball to Liag, Liag was responsible for delivering the shells, and Li was responsible for the final kill.
It took three players to score this goal."
The reporters on the sidelines were also excited:
"Two to two?! Santa Malaga not only equalized the score, but also scored two away goals!"
"Lee has scored ten goals!"
“Now the presidents of La Liga can’t sit still!”
"Do you think Real Madrid and Barcelona will be tempted?"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.
A reporter from Aspen thought for a while and then broke the silence: "It's unlikely. Li is a D-level player. He will definitely be able to adapt to the life of a professional player? Real Madrid will definitely not find a player without youth training camp experience."
A reporter from World Sports News nodded and said: "It is impossible for Barcelona to find a player without professional experience."
All the reporters shook their heads in regret.
A reporter from Malaga laughed and said: "That's just right! Li will go to Malaga. Anyway, he was enlightened in Malaga."
