Three hundred and twentieth chapters King's Cup out
On the morning of the game when they were on the away field, the Real Madrid players were all talking about this weird and mysterious man.
"Do you think there are really people in our club who would bet on football regardless of the rules?" Ramos has been very close to the prince and others recently, so he has no scruples in what he says.
"I don't think it's possible, because no one asked me to make trouble during the game." The prince still hopes to think in a good direction, especially for his own club.
"That's not necessarily true. Even if you buy out all the players, you don't need to buy them all. Just buying one or two in key positions can completely affect the outcome of the game, such as goalkeepers and central defenders." Marcelo's analysis is also the same.
It makes perfect sense. He had encountered this kind of thing a lot when he was playing in the Brazilian League.
"Do you doubt Dudek?" the prince asked incredulously.
In this game, Pei Shuai really came on the bench, and the goalkeeper was Dudek, the Polish goalkeeper who has not had a chance to play this season.
"I don't dare to make random guesses, but overall, he is the most suspect. Metzelder and Garay may also be suspects, but I really don't hope it's them." Ramos said and shook his head.
Shake your head to increase your persuasiveness.
"I think what the media says should not be believed at all. Who knows if they deliberately fabricated it to disrupt our military morale. Do we still have to distrust our teammates?" The prince never believed that this was true. He is worthy of the media.
What kind of virtue is this? Even bookmakers may not be good people.
"Regardless of whether we win or lose, we originally had no intention of winning anything in the Copa del Rey. And now the game has nothing to do with us because we can't even play." Ramos shrugged, with a clear look.
Look.
A thought suddenly crossed the prince's mind, maybe this was not groundless.
Just imagine, Real Madrid originally did not include the Copa del Rey as their goal. So what if they win this game? In the future, it will affect the team's energy even more. It is better to lose the game as soon as possible to save worry.
The important thing is that the odds of Real Madrid losing are so high, even if you only bet 1 million. If you throw away the tax early, the income will probably be more than 100 million. Who wouldn't want to do something that is a sure profit.
Earn 100 million from this, then you can pay for the crazy signings in the summer, and the team's revenue will be very good. Real Madrid leader Florentino may really have the idea of giving the ball.
The prince really couldn't remember the result of this game in his previous life. He only knew that Real Madrid had nothing to gain this season. How could he pay attention to the Copa del Rey, which no one paid attention to? Even Real Madrid's most staunch fans may not be there.
Let's waste our energy in a game that the club doesn't pay attention to.
Thinking of this, the prince felt that he was close to the truth.
When the game started, only a few of the usual main players sat on the bench, and most of the players could only squat in the stands with the fans who came with the team to cheer for the team.
After the game started, Real Madrid fans found that the situation on the field was not as optimistic as they thought. Real Madrid's substitute defense was far behind the main players in terms of personal ability and teamwork. Coupled with those unknown factors, the result was natural.
It was a series of mistakes.
Just 15 minutes into the game, the Alcorcón team cooperated in the middle. Borja, the captain of the home team who declared before the game that he would give Real Madrid a good look, shot with his left foot. It penetrated the gate guarded by Dudek, and Real Madrid fell behind 0:1 in the away game.
.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands had a bad premonition, and all of them looked gloomy amidst the congratulations of the away team fans.
The prince saw very clearly that Real Madrid did not seem to let the ball go intentionally. The main mistake in the rear was the lack of tacit cooperation, and the goalkeeper Dudek was not to blame for the goal. He still struggled to save the ball. It was just the opponent's captain.
This shot is really tricky, and even if Saint Cassie is on the court, he may not be able to keep the goal.
After losing the ball, Real Madrid started to counterattack. They were already stronger than their opponents and gradually suppressed their opponents in the half.
Real Madrid, who had gained the advantage on the field, almost equalized the score in the 18th minute. Benzema broke into the penalty area from the right and passed the ball. Van der Vaart's shot was held over the crossbar by goalkeeper Juan Maat.
Seeing that the team was performing normally, Real Madrid fans also cheered up and started to cheer for the team hard. They did not want the news before the game to become reality.
But Real Madrid's luck seems really bad today.
Real Madrid, which besieged its opponent for more than ten minutes, did not score a goal, but the opponent seized the opportunity and launched a sharp counterattack.
In the 31st minute, Van der Vaart intercepted the ball in the middle and his opponent's midfielder Moura made a pass from the right. Arbeloa, the former Liverpool defender who joined this season, scored an own goal when clearing the ball in the penalty area and kicked the ball into the goal.
At the door behind Dirk, the Polish goalkeeper showed no reaction and seemed to be shocked by the own goal.
Arbeloa seemed to be stunned. He looked at the football lying quietly in the goal with a confused look on his face. He couldn't understand how his clearance could cause the team to concede a goal.
The Real Madrid fans in the stands lost their composure. They believed that Real Madrid was playing match-fixing in this game, so they booed the players on the field. They could accept defeat, but they could not accept this humiliating defeat.
The prince and his teammates frowned in the stands. The situation on the field was really beyond their expectations.
They clearly knew that their teammates on the field did not play match-fixing. They were trying their best to play the game. However, the current situation on the field made them very passive. Who would have thought that Real Madrid, which was going all out, would be defeated by a low-level team.
If the team plays like this, isn't it match-fixing?
The first half is not over yet. Real Madrid is already two goals behind in the away game. The joyful appearance of the home team's fans stimulates their nerves. However, the reality is so cruel. They continued to attack after the restart and were unable to do so in the first half.
He scored a goal, but on the contrary, his opponent almost extended the lead again.
In the 38th minute, visiting team midfielder Nagre made a pass from the right, and captain Borja's header hit the left post and popped out, shocking everyone into a cold sweat.
With the humiliating score, the Real Madrid players walked into the locker room with their heads hanging down. They couldn't understand why they were lagging behind.
Pei Shuai looked at each of the team members who were about to bury their heads in their crotches and said nothing.
It's not that he doesn't want to scold these embarrassing players. In fact, the players' performance was quite normal. The two goals conceded were also caused by small mistakes. It was mainly a matter of tacit understanding and cooperation. He himself is also responsible.
.
"Everyone, raise your heads," Pei Shuai finally spoke.
"I know that everyone may be concerned about the news before the game. Some of us have been bribed to play match-fixing during the game. But I really don't believe that my players will do such a thing, because I know you." Pei Shuai suddenly became more serious.
The team members looked at him with dull eyes.
"What I want to say is that it is all nonsense and match-fixing. It will never appear in the great Real Madrid. This is our dignity and our glory. I think everyone here knows better than me."
"But everyone's performance in the first half was not very good. Although we have never played with this lineup, everyone's cooperation is a bit rusty. But this is not an excuse. The annual salary of any one of you can be worth an entire family.
A team. Don’t you feel ashamed to be ahead of your opponent?"
"In the second half, I hope you can put down your burdens, play relaxedly, and forget everything that is irrelevant. I know you will win, and I believe in you." After finishing speaking, Pei Shuai turned and left. Just now, he suppressed his anger and did not burst out.
These Real Madrid players, who did not want to be accused of match-fixing, played with all their strength, but what they did not expect was that their opponents actually retreated, and all the players returned to their own side to defend the goal.
In fact, their tactical thinking is really on the right track. They scored two goals in the first half. In the second half, they focused all their energy on defense. Even if they are as strong as Real Madrid, they may not have many solutions when facing intensive defense.
The game became one-sided. Real Madrid, playing away from home, bombarded the home team's goal, while the home team players used their bodies to form an indestructible bus and parked in front of their own gate, completely blocking them.
Real Madrid's attack.
Real Madrid besieged the home team's door, but faced with a dense defense, there really weren't many ways to do it. Frequent long shots and high balls from both wings were difficult to penetrate the opponent's defense.
Time passed little by little. Real Madrid was still two goals behind. Even the fans who came with the team had lost the spirit of cheering. They sat lazily in the stands and counted their eyelashes. They regretted watching such a game.
A shameful game.
Real Madrid's crazy attack finally gained something in the 73rd minute. Raul, who had just been substituted, relied on his keen sense of smell and coquettish running position to grab a shooting opportunity in the crowd and scored the ball into the home team.
's door.
After the goal, Raul rushed into the goal, picked up the football and ran towards the midfield. There was not much time left. They must seize the time and continue to score goals, otherwise this game will really become a shame for the team.
The mood of the fans in the stands finally improved. They once again saw the hope of winning. They stood up from their seats and started cheering for the team again.
Pei Shuai took advantage of the opportunity to score a goal and began to mobilize his troops. He had already given up hope and needed to make adjustments quickly, so with a wave of his hand, Ruud Ruud, the king of the penalty area, also appeared on the court. Pei Shuai hoped to use his help.
His ability to grab points inside can break through the opponent's dense defense.
However, the effect of the substitution is not obvious. The opponent's two central defenders may not have outstanding defensive abilities, but their physical fitness is much better than that of Ruud Ruud, who is about to become old. Lian Po's frequent physical contact and small movements completely let him down.
Van Nistelrooy has lost the demeanor of the penalty area killer he used to be.
Time passed little by little, and Real Madrid, who had lost all face, began to become impatient. In the 84th minute of the game, Ruud van Nistelrooy kicked down an Alcorcon player while grabbing the ball, causing boos on the court.
At the last moment of the game, Real Madrid had a chance to score an equalizer, but Ruud van Nistelrooy's shot in the penalty area was deflected onto the goal post and Benzema's follow-up shot missed again.
This was also Real Madrid's last chance to attack. At this time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game, and Real Madrid's Copa del Rey journey this season ended.
(Real Madrid was indeed eliminated from the Copa del Rey this season. The opponent was also Alcorcon. The score was a shameful 4:0. Real Madrid was bloodbathed by the C-level team. I only changed the score, not the result. Don’t believe it.
