Chinese champion

Chapter 108 The First Champion

No. 407 minutes, Ibagaza's cross, Luke beat the opponent's defender with a header from the front point, but the goalkeeper narrowly lifted the crossbar.

No. In the 408th minute, Pei Wei took a corner kick and the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by the opponent's defender.

Minutes later, Nino intercepted Joaquin's cross and launched a long pass with big feet. Eto'o took the ball into the penalty area before the opponent's defender cleared the siege, and the goalkeeper who was attacked saved the ball.

Only 5 minutes into the second half, Mallorca's attack like a raging wave made all Betis, who wanted to attack at first, retreat back, and they were passively beaten in the penalty area for a while.

Mallorca had no good way to deal with a stubborn opponent. Eto'o's speed was useless when the opponent was stationed in the penalty area, and Luke, who had the ability to attack, was only 1.8 meters tall. Under the defense of the opponent's two tall central defenders, there is no chance.

"Facing the defense, the most effective weapon is long-range shooting!" Aragones thought to himself.

Pei Wei received a cross from Campano outside the penalty area and just made a long shot. Felipescu immediately appeared beside him and quickly poked the ball away.

Long-range shots require room to swing their legs, but under the siege of Felipescu and Assuncao, Pei Wei did not have this time.

After the ball rolled out, Assuncao immediately kicked the ball out!
With his excellent free kick, he also made a beautiful long pass. This pass accurately found Joaquin in front. Joaquin did not stop the ball, but directly poked the ball forward from behind, and then Accelerate past the unprepared Finidi!

There was only an open field left in front of Joaquin who had thrown off Finniti, and his favorite thing to do with his extraordinary speed was to gallop in such a situation!

The distance of 20 meters almost disappeared under Joaquin's feet in just three seconds, and then with a natural flick of the left foot, Joaquin dribbled the ball into the penalty area.

Nadal has been a little bit behind since the beginning, his physical strength is not as good as before, so he is basically playing the position of the sweeper now, and he is desperately going back from the moment Joaquin breaks through Although his speed was not as fast as Joaquin's, he and Joaquin arrived in the penalty area almost at the same time.

Nadal did not go down to the ground to tackle, because it is too dangerous to tackle in the penalty area, and it is easy to be dodged by Joaquin, so the gain outweighs the loss.

He stuck tightly to Joaquin's advance route, and it was time for him to use his rich experience in such a narrow area.

Sure enough, Joaquin, who couldn't see the breakthrough route, was forced to the corner by him. With no way to turn around, he had no choice but to pass the ball to Ikpeba who stepped forward with an assist from the wing.

Ikpeba passed the ball into the penalty area, Alfonso finally won Nino once, and the ball flew to the bottom left corner of the goal.

Roa made a brilliant save, barely touching the ball with his fingertips, and the ball changed direction and flew to the left side of the penalty area.

Curtis, who retreated, grabbed the ball ahead of Denilson and immediately kicked the ball out.

What he didn't expect was that this almost blind clearance would earn him an assist.

Pei Wei quickly ran to the landing point, and used the back of his feet to release the ball from behind.

Felipescu immediately stopped in front of Pei Wei. He knew that the team's current defensive formation was loosening, and he had to be responsible for delaying the opponent's attack and buying time for the team's players to return to defense.

Looking at Pei Wei who was approaching, Felipescu stared at this young opponent with all his attention. It was his breakthrough that caused the team to concede a goal, but he still had sufficient confidence in himself, because he was confident, I have much richer experience than the other party.

But Pei Wei didn't let him show his experience. When he was about to approach Felipescu, he poked the ball forward with great speed. Before Lipescu could react, Pei Wei had already passed him quickly and left in the dust.

At this time, Assunsang retreated, seeing that he could not catch up with Pei Wei, and immediately made a fierce tackle from the side. Pei Wei put his left foot on the ball, kicked his right foot on the ground, leaped up, and dodged the ball. Assuncang's flying shovel.

Before the ball hit the ground, Pei Wei picked it up again, just in time to avoid another flying shovel from a Betis defender!
"Three people!" Pei Wei thought to himself, and now there were only two central defenders left in front of him.

Pei Wei carried the ball with an indomitable momentum, and the two defenders fought and retreated - no way, Pei Wei protected the ball too well, they could neither foul in such a place, nor rush to break through the other side Given the opportunity, they can only protect the penalty area behind them.

At the front of the penalty area, Pei Wei was still protecting the ball. At this time, Eto'o had caught up and was reaching out to the right side of the penalty area: "Here! Pei!"

The opponent's two central defenders turned pale with fright, and Eto'o happened to be standing parallel to them. As long as Pei Wei sent a comfortable oblique plug, Eto'o could face the goalkeeper single-handedly.

One defender immediately turned around and rushed towards Eto'o, and the other defender's attention was also distracted at that moment. They forgot what the coach said before the opening: "Never give up on Pei Wei's defense, because you don't Know what this kid will do in the next moment."

So they were punished immediately. Pei Wei shook a few times in a row, which immediately dazzled the defender. Pei Wei easily passed him and broke into the penalty area.

The goalkeeper attacked, and at the same time as Pei Wei moved, he had already saved the small penalty area. When Pei Wei broke into the penalty area, the ball was slightly out of his control, which was a good opportunity for him to steal the ball.

It's a pity that Pei Wei's reaction was much faster than he expected. Just when he was about to pounce on the ball, Pei Wei stretched out his left foot and swiped the ball sideways. What he pounced on was only Pei Wei's foot.

The referee had already put the whistle in his mouth. Pei Wei staggered a bit, but he did not lose his balance. He pushed his left hand on the ground, and then swept the ball with his left foot, and the ball flew towards the empty goal!

Although a defender stretched out his foot to block it, it was still a bit late, and the ball slid past his toes and flew into the goal.

"GOOOOOOOOOOOAL - Score the ball into an empty goal after five players in a row! A wonderful long-distance attack! The amazing boy Pei Wei from China put on a wonderful show for us!"

The commentator at the Bernabéu forgot his neutral status and cheered loudly in a gaffe.

Juan Carlos I in the box couldn't help but stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.

"Amazing Chinese!" Juan Carlos I said with emotion: "They can always create miracles. When I visited China in 78, they were still very poor. There were hardly any people wearing good clothes on the street. By 95 When I visited for the second time in [-], they had become one of the fastest growing countries in the world in terms of economic power, and now, I saw another Chinese show such amazing football skills!"

This time Florentino didn't agree, he was thinking.

"Maybe in a few years this Chinese can really take Zidane's place."

Not to mention Florentino's mood, on the field, since Pei Wei scored that goal, it has dealt a great blow to Betis.

Originally, I had an excellent chance to score, but was safely blocked by the opponent, and then the opponent's seemingly harmless attack turned into such a beautiful goal. The Betis players couldn't help feeling like this idea:

Is it true that you are not as good as your opponent?

After the equalizer, Mallorca was not conservative, but seized the opportunity of the opponent's lack of concentration and continued to launch a fierce attack!

The coach of Betis yelled anxiously on the sidelines, but unfortunately his yelling did not achieve any effect. Instead, it made the players tied their hands and feet on the field, making it even more difficult to perform.

After attacking for more than ten minutes, Mallorca finally ushered in the first lead of the game!
Pei Wei made a cross from the right, and Luke was fighting with the opponent's defender. Both sides failed to touch the ball, but the ball leaked from the two of them just rolled to Ibagaza's feet in the penalty area. Of course, Ibagaza would not be polite, he just shot angrily at the ball, and the Betis goalkeeper had to watch the ball go into the net!

The stands with more than 1 Mallorca fans immediately boiled. They were so happy and crazy that they threw everything they could find into the sky.

"There are still 10 minutes, everyone, don't be careless!" Aragones suppressed his excitement and shouted loudly to the players on the field.

Betis, who were behind, finally began to stabilize their emotions. They launched a crazy counterattack, but Mallorca strengthened the defense in the penalty area. Now the game is a replica of the beginning of the second half, but the object of defense has become Mallorca.

Seeing that the scene was somewhat passive, Aragones replaced all the two full-backs in one breath, and replaced them with a defender and a midfielder, ready to defend to the end.

Mallorca's defense is very layered. If the wing is broken, a player will go to make up for it. Betis can only waste offensive opportunities again and again when the attack cannot be opened in the center.

Compared with Betis wasting opportunities, Mallorca's offensive efficiency at this time was higher. No.80 two minutes, Marcos who had just played a long pass after stealing the ball, Luke header ferry, Eto Ao broke through Betis' defense line, went straight in, and settled the result of the game with a wonderful lob!
"It seems that Mallorca will win, and I'm going to present them with a trophy!" Seeing that there was no suspense about the result of the game, Juan Carlos I stood up.

"A wonderful game!" Florentino also stood up with him: "I hope the result doesn't disappoint you, the king!"

"Hehe! How could it be!" Juan Carlos I laughed and said, "The game was exciting! I am very satisfied!"

The referee blows the whistle, and the game is over! 4:2, Mallorca defeated the opponent and won the Spanish King's Cup this year!

The Bernabéu stadium was boiling, and the roar of the Mallorca fans who were not dominant in the number filled the entire Bernabeu stadium. Except for a symbolic Super Cup, the Mallorca fans no longer knew when the team won the championship last time. This Copa del Rey is enough to fill the gap in the hearts of Mallorca fans!
The moment when the trophy was presented was the most exciting. In the thunderous applause, Nadal led the team members to the rostrum, and the team members accepted the gold medals hung around the neck by Juan Carlos I in turn.Then the last captain to accept the gold medal took the King's Cup championship trophy from the king. He turned around and raised the trophy high to the tens of thousands of fans in the stands!

When Pei Wei put his face on the cold trophy, he laughed so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth. This season has really touched me a lot. Injuries, sluggishness, suspension, almost everything was ruled by me. I caught up. Fortunately, at the end of the season, I finally won the first championship in my career. Pei Wei's mind is now blank, and he only knows how to laugh.

But Eto'o felt differently. For him, the Copa del Rey is important, but more importantly, the Copa del Rey was won at the Bernabeu Stadium!He proved his strength in front of all Real Madrid fans, which made him happier than a direct victory over Real Madrid.

After some passing, the trophy returned to Nadal's hands. The captain held the trophy in his hand, ran down the stands, and began to circle the court for a circle, followed by excited teammates, coaches, and all the club officials present.

Countless confetti fell from the air, and the excited Mallorca fans turned into the stadium from the stands, and began to gather around the players to revel.

Just when Pei Wei was so happy that he didn't know where he was, he suddenly felt cold, and the jersey had already been stripped off by a few crazy fans around him. His shorts, he was so scared that he immediately ran to the locker room.

Eto'o and others were not spared either. When they returned to the locker room, their image was similar to that of African refugees.

In the locker room, the players gathered together, dancing, laughing, and singing loudly: "Go, go, go! Ale, ale, ale!"

The old man took out a bottle of champagne that had been prepared as if by magic, shook it a few times and pulled out the cork. The champagne that had been simmering for a long time rushed out of the bottle and sprayed on everyone.

The first championship, a championship worth remembering.
