Chapter 357 Who said I must score goals?(1/2)
The first game of the year 2029 is the Spanish Super Cup.
Other leagues, such as the Premier League and the Bundesliga, regard the Super Cup as a "super warm-up match" before the start of the new season.
The league champions of last season will face the domestic cup champions.
In England it's the Premier League champion versus the FA Cup champion.
But Spanish painting style is very different.
Not only did they put the Super Bowl in the middle of the season, they also expanded it from two teams to four teams.
This decision initially attracted opposition from the three wealthy teams of Madrid Kings, Catalan United and Madrid Pirates.
Because such changes will increase the number of games they play and make the players more tired.
In addition, the Copa del Rey has also undergone a reform of the competition system. It used to start in September every year and last until May. It is interspersed with the league and the European competition, and it is not intensive.
Now it has been changed to start in December every year. La Liga teams enter the stadium in January.
It is somewhat similar to the FA Cup in England.
The result of this arrangement is that January, which was supposed to be a relatively loose schedule, turned into a "devil schedule month".
For the "three heroes of the Spanish Super League", they have to play in La Liga, the Copa del Rey and the Super Cup.
This resulted in a very intensive schedule.
Take this year's Madrid Pirates as an example. If they can reach the Super Cup final and keep winning in the Copa del Rey, they will play eight games throughout January, averaging one game in less than four days.
If the previous competition format was followed, Madrid Pirates would only play five games at most in January, almost one game a week.
Not only will there be fewer games and the competition will be less intensive, they will also have more winter breaks, giving them enough time to train and replenish energy in the middle of the season.
Last season, the Madrid Pirates directly gave up the Spanish Super Cup, sent out all the substitutes in the semi-finals, and lost to Valentia 1:2.
Parotti also arranged this year's Super Cup semifinals in the same way.
Many main players, including Hu Lai, did not appear in the game roster.
But the final result was different from last season.
Because this time the rotation of Madrid Pirates actually defeated Sporting Vizcaya 2:1 in the semifinals!
Then they will meet the Madrid Kings, who eliminated Catalonia United, in the Super Cup final.
Let’s not mention that the opponent is a mortal enemy in the same city. Let’s just say that this is the Super Cup final. As long as you win, you can win the championship. Which head coach would choose to give up in the final?
If you want to rotate, you have to do it before then. For example, if you give up the Copa del Rey in the first few rounds, you will never use a rotating lineup to train the team when you reach the semi-finals.
Now that we have reached the Super Cup finals and can win a championship trophy if we win one more game, why give up?
So without saying anything else, in the Spanish Super Cup final, Parotti made major adjustments to the lineup, almost replacing the entire main lineup, and decided to have a fight with the King of Madrid.
The game was not scheduled to be played at the home stadium of the two teams, but at a neutral venue - Valentia's home stadium, Estadio Casavalla.
Fans from both sides took this game very seriously and packed the stadium to capacity.
For Merry fans, this is his first championship since he was crowned king.
If he can win the Super Bowl, it will be like adding a dazzling gem to his crown.
Hulay's fans also attach great importance to this game. Their dissatisfaction with the FIFA selection results will be vented through this game. If Hulay can defeat Melli, wouldn't it be able to prove FIFA's
Is the World Footballer of the Year selection a piece of shit?
※※※Melli struggled to dribble the ball forward. As soon as he pushed the ball away, Vukovich kicked from the side and knocked the football away from Melli's feet.
Mellie stopped suddenly and tried to turn around and regain control of the ball.
The ball has been protected by Juan Ramirez.
When he rushed forward, he only bumped into Ramirez's body, but he didn't shake him.
The Madrid Pirates fans in the stands burst into laughter when they saw this, and those Pirates fans in the first few rows even shouted at Melli:
"World Footballer of the Year! Huh? World Footballer of the Year?!"
The implication is "Hey, isn't this World Footballer Melibanega? I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you so embarrassed?"
They were mocking and irritating Melli in this way, and at the same time expressing their dissatisfaction with Hulay not even making the top three - because of Hulay's outstanding performance in Madrid Pirates, almost all Pirates fans are Hulay fans.
Melli was tightly defended by the Madrid Pirates players in this game.
Vukovic and Ramirez defended Melli alone, which is a very common scene in the game.
Melly got into frequent physical fights with the two of them, which consumed a lot of energy.
Sixty-seven minutes into the game, he has yet to score.
The only good thing is that Hu Lai didn't score a goal either.
Hulay, who was also closely guarded by the Madrid King's defense, struggled to find opportunities and spent most of his time fighting hand-to-hand with his opponents.
"Both players are in a tough battle, but Melli has an advantage over Hu. In addition to shooting and scoring, he can also break through and score, while Hu can only shoot and score. He is a pure shooter. As long as he is restricted
If you stop his shot, his threat will plummet."
So said the Argentinian commentator.
"Now in order to guard against Melli, the Madrid Pirates have deployed heavy troops around him. Ramirez and Vukovic are not far away from him.
This creates opportunities for other Kings players. As long as Melli can distribute the football, he can form a fatal threat! "
※※Melli did play like this. When he got the ball again, he broke through to attract Vukovic and Ramirez, and then passed the ball to Cerrados.
After passing the ball, he continued to drive diagonally into the penalty area, as if he wanted to hit the wall with Cerrados.
So Ramirez continued to run after him.
Cerrados took advantage of the space created by Melly and shot from the line of the penalty area!
The football was slightly over the crossbar!
After completing the shot, Cerrados gave Melli a thumbs up and praised him for passing the ball beautifully.
Alfonso Candela in the box saw this scene with a happy smile on his face.
Faced with the provocation and excitement of the Madrid Pirates fans, Melli did not lose his mind and still knew what he should do.
This shows that his mentality has indeed been corrected.
No matter what the outside world says, he is indeed a double winner of the European Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year. It should be Hu Lai who tried his best to challenge him by any means, instead of him lowering his stature and wallowing in the mud with Hu Lai.
Don't care about the rumors and play according to your style.
When you want to score, shoot without hesitation. If you see a teammate in a better position and are willing to pass the ball, don't care about the goal difference between you and Hu Lai, DOT!
This is the Melibanega that Candela hopes to see, a hexagonal all-round warrior with almost no shortcomings.
※※※Hu Lai completed a sprint of about ten meters in the penalty area - he rushed into the penalty area from the penalty arc.
He is always followed by center back Sergi Peralta.
The Argentinian central defender not only ran with Hulay, but in the process his hands were always competing with Hulay.
The two people seemed to be practicing "push hands" in traditional Chinese martial arts.
The two hands are intertwined, you push over and I push over.
We fought several times at a distance of ten meters.
In the end, Kamara's cross was blocked from the sideline, and Hulay's trip was in vain.
Looking at Hulay, who was breathing heavily, Peralta, who was also breathing heavily, grinned.
But that's all.
He learned well and didn't try to talk trash to Hu Lai, he just smiled.
So in the televised footage, behind the panting Hulay was a happily grinning Peralta.
X※After the Madrid Pirates' clearance ball was thrown out, it passed patiently from the right to the left, and then Ion made a pass from the left wing.
This time Peralta still pestered Hule, and his center back partner Nuno Sequeiros jumped up to head the ball to clear the ball.
Dudu Carlos controlled the second point and advanced the attack.
The Kings of Madrid tried to launch a counterattack.
But while advancing along the wing, the football was intercepted by Tonini who was returning to defense.
Then it was Madrid Pirates' turn to launch a counterattack.
After Tonini stole the ball, he directly used his big foot and passed the football diagonally to the other side of the field.
Kamara caught the football on the sideline, passed it up to Maxi Carey who came to meet him, and then accelerated forward along the sideline.
His rush took out King Madrid's Brazilian left-back Rafael Fonseca.
The latter ran back with Kamara, as if he were running a 100-meter race on the court, for fear of being thrown away by Kamara.
At the same time, the King of Madrid's back line also retreated to the penalty area line.
The forward line is quickly returning to defense.
To be continued...
