Gabby has always had a habitual action.

That is, before he appears, he always draws a cross on his chest.

This is an action that many religious players will have. Most of the Spanish believe in Catholicism, and Gabi is no exception, so his action is not unusual. However, Gabi actually has a habit that others have not noticed, that is, he always draws the cross when he is waiting for the referee to enter the court, and when the player channel is waiting for the referee to enter the court.

Gabi's routine has no special meaning, just because he likes the feeling at that time. For Gabi, that short moment, although a bit like the calm before the storm, was the best time for him to adjust his mindset.

Now, it's this time again.

The light in the player channel is not very sufficient. The light outside comes in from a small exit, reflecting the faces of the two team members who are waiting to enter the court at this time, with different expressions.

Just as Gabby was silently drawing a cross, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gaze next to him. He turned his head and happened to touch Harvey's gaze.

Gabi's brows were slightly frowned.

The only red card Gabby has eaten this season is thanks to Harvey. Although he was not unfair to eat that card, he still felt a little resentful to the person in front of him. What Gabby didn't expect was that after contacting his eyes, Harvey smiled friendly to him first.

Gabby's brows stretched out quickly and he smiled.

Of course this is not a smile to eliminate grudges. Gabby was not so arrogant that he thought that Harvey's show of kindness was because of the red card, so this was just a greeting before the game.

Sure enough, both of them remained silent next, and then looked ahead with a focused look.

Finally, a sound they had been waiting for came from ahead.

Gentlemen, come in.

"Hello in the early morning of CCTV, CCTV, and audiences. Welcome to watch the final of the Copa del Rey in Spain in 2009. The two teams against Barcelona and Malaga are now the players on both sides have entered the court..." At this time, in China, countless Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game finally heard the opening words of the live broadcast of the game that CCTV is familiar with.

This match, held at 9:30 pm local time in Spain, was replaced by China's time at 3:30 pm. But even so, the game still attracted countless football enthusiasts to stay up late to watch the game.

Perhaps because I know what Chinese fans are most concerned about, the live footage of the game was quickly cut to the sidelines.

At this time, Lin Sen did not sit in the coach's seat as usual, but from the moment he walked out of the passage, he stood on the sidelines, watching the two teams perform some necessary ceremonies before the game, watching the two teams shake hands with each other, and then, watching the captains of Games and Puyol on both sides pick the sides under the leadership of the referee...

No one knew what Lin Sen was thinking at this time, except for the players on the field in Malaga.

It is said that there is no good match in the competition. This sentence is actually not a conclusion. It is more about describing a mentality, a common mentality between the two teams that are fighting in the competition, that is, caution, because no one wants to make a mistake in the last moment and regret. The King's Cup final is of course a major competition for Malaga, but Lin Sen is not sure whether this game is also a major competition for Barcelona.

The first thing he can do is that if the competition is carried out according to the normal routine, the probability of Malaga winning will definitely not exceed 30%.

One percent comes from defense, one percent comes from physical fitness, and the other comes from luck.

The side picking was very fast, as if in just a blink of an eye, the captains on both sides had already shaken hands with the referee, then exchanged team flags, and shook hands with each other...

Lin Sen suddenly found that he was a little nervous. He put his hands in his pocket to prevent others from seeing his hands trembling slightly.

Malaga was the one who kicked off the ball first.

Standing at the kick-off point, waiting for the referee to start the whistle, Reus and Lewandowski, while in the side arc near the center circle, Gundogan stood.

Soon, with the referee's doctor's whistle, a burst of warm cheers broke out throughout Calderon Stadium and the game began.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"...Malaga is wearing blue and white jerseys on both sides. In the first half, they attacked from left to right, while Barcelona is wearing their familiar red and blue jerseys. Let's first introduce the starting lineups on both sides. Barcelona, ​​Guardiola sent his strongest lineup on paper in this game, Henry, Etoo, Messi's front-court trident, midfielder Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets partnered. The defense line is Abidal, Pique, Puyol, and Alves from left to right...

At the beginning of the game, according to the usual routine, the commentator had to introduce the starting lineups of both sides, and today's commentator He Tian was no exception. If he was a familiar La Liga commentator, he would usually be able to do whatever he wanted as long as he had read the list before. But this time He Tian was obviously a little uncertain about Malaga's starting lineup, so when he was about to finish reading the list on the Barcelona side, he subconsciously wanted to look at Malaga's big list again.

However, his subconscious action made him miss a goal. The commentator Cao Yun, who sat next to him and even had time to introduce, interrupted him.

"Hey! Opportunity!! Shot?... The ball went in!!! The ball actually went in!" Cao Yun's voice was full of disbelief, "It's really hard to believe. Less than a minute of the game, Malaga scored a goal, a shocking shot from Reus, Valdes's position was too far ahead..."

Cao Yun may not have thought that his first speech would actually speak in such a situation.

When He Ping, who was a little stunned, turned his gaze to the big screen, he had already seen Reus rushing to the corner flag area with his hands raised, accepting the cheers of the Malaga fans in the South Stand...

"The score became one to zero! It was an unexpected start. The game had a dramatic development from the beginning. In less than a minute, Reus helped Malaga take the lead by one to zero. Now, let's take a look at the slow motion replay..." He Tian, ​​who was not depressed or excited, immediately took over the game.

The slow motion at this time suddenly started to play back from the moment the middle circle kicked off at the beginning of the game.

As soon as the whistle sounded, Reus transferred the ball to Lewandowski, and then he ran towards his position in this game, the left side, as usual. At the same time, Barcelona's entire formation was pressing forward at the same time. This was Barcelona's usual routine. He created a numerical advantage in the frontcourt at the first time. The arrowhead Etoo directly pushed Lewandowski, who was holding the ball, and only saw the Poles control the ball slightly and make an action trying to pass Etoo.

At this time, the ball stayed at Lewandowski for less than ten seconds.

Then, just as Etoo was about to post Lewandowski, Lewandowski passed the ball back to Gundogan, who was closest to him.

Gundoan did not dribble the ball, but seemed to be trying to do a two-by-one-slamming wall-to-wall cooperation with Lewandowski. As soon as he touched the ball, he kicked the ball out again. Of course, he didn't really want to drink Lewandowski for cooperation, so his kick was very strong.

The ball flew directly to the hinterland on the right side of Barcelona.

He Tian changed his sight at this time. Because in his opinion, Gundogan's ball was probably handed over to Barcelona. Because it was Alves' defense zone. But what He Tian didn't expect was that at this time, the Brazilian defender was not in the defense zone because he followed the team's entire formation and pressed forward.

Then, Reus, who suddenly started at a high speed, suddenly became the player closest to the ball landing point.

When the ball fell, the game time was in the twelfth second.

According to the plan, Reus should control the ball at this time, or continue to push to the side or dribble the ball horizontally and cut in the middle, then complete the shot himself or wait for his teammates to respond. However, when the ball fell, Reus made a move that shocked everyone: directly shoot hard on the outside!

A powerful shot of 40 meters away from the goal!

Too urgent!

This is everyone's subconscious reaction when they saw Reus' shot, but soon, when people turned their eyes to the goal, they immediately understood that Reus's shot was not just about luck, because Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdes was staying honestly in front of the goal, but had already left the small penalty area and even approached the edge of the penalty area line.

The ball flew out from Reus's feet at a high throw line as fast as a shooting star. It didn't suddenly turn sharply and fall to the goal when it flew to the highest point.

Leaf balls!

Valdes, who was watching the football and quickly retreated, had no time to make a save, and the ball fell into the goal in a gaze that he couldn't believe.

At this time, the game time is frozen in the fifteenth second!

The moment the ball flew into the goal net, the air above Calderon seemed to suddenly stagnate, and then a thunderous cheer quickly spread from the South Stand to the entire field.

Before Mrs. Cruz could even react, she saw her husband jumping up from her seat like a child, then screamed and patted her hands desperately. Then, the sound waves of various sounds mixed together had completely occupied her entire world.

Barr, who was sitting in the stands in the west, was a little lost. His eyes subconsciously moved away from the goal-scoring Royce, and then moved to the figure on the sidelines.

I saw that one hand was still in his pocket, and the other hand was already clenched into a fist. He could not see any expression with his head down.
Chapter completed!
