Chapter 112 Flying Fire Meteor
On September 2002, 9, the new season of the Spanish First Division officially kicked off.

This season's La Liga, the biggest highlight is probably that after two years of ups and downs in the Spanish second division, the veteran La Liga team, Real Madrid's other eternal enemy besides Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid under the leadership of the new prince Torres , and finally returned to Class A.

And their first opponent is the away game against last season's No.4, Barcelona, ​​which is also the opening game of the new season of La Liga.

In the end, 11 fans watched the game, with Barcelona captain Luis Enrique twice giving Barcelona the lead, and a powerful header from Torres before the end gave Atlético Madrid a draw against the powerful opponent.

This game is also Riquelme's debut, but it seems that last year's South American footballer has not fully adapted to European football. Finally, the Barcelona fans who were not reconciled to the draw unfurled a banner saying "There is only one Rivaldo". It seems that Riquelme still has a long way to go to conquer the hearts of the Catalans.

Three hours after the end of this game, the other nine games also started. Mallorca's first opponent was last year's defending champion Valencia.

In terms of team stability, La Liga counts Valencia. Although there is no movement in the transfer market, none of the main players from last year have been pulled, and all of them have stayed. Although the veteran Rufete is going downhill, the rise of Mista Let Benitez have more confidence to implement his "no striker" tactic. In this game, Carew sat on the bench, and Angulo replaced him.

Although Mallorca is the home court, Valencia played the home team badly at the beginning of the game. In less than 10 minutes, a series of cooperation of four frontcourt players tore apart Mallorca's defense. A well-placed cross was sent out under the tight marking of Mista, although Franco bravely saved Mista's goal kick, but Aimar seized the momentary opportunity to get rid of Par Norwich's defense easily sent the ball into Mallorca's gate.

After conceding the goal, Mallorca intends to counterattack, but Pei Wei is tightly entangled by Baraja and Albelda, and has no time to escape, and Eto'o is not in a good state. It seems that he has consumed too much energy during the World Cup , did not touch the ball a few times throughout the first half.

But it seems that God is on Mallorca's side today. They were lucky to equalize before the end of the first half. Pei Wei passed the ball back to Panovic helplessly under the marking of the opponent's two first-class midfielders. Panovic immediately passed a long pass to Ibagaza on the left, and Ibagaza lobbed the ball directly into the penalty area. At this time, Valencia defender Pellegrino made a stupid mistake. There was an overhead fall, and the ball fell right in front of Delgado. The Ecuadorian striker naturally would not let go of such a good opportunity. His shot flew past Canizares' ten fingers, 1:1, and Mallorca equalized up the score.

After scoring the goal, Delgado found a place to vent. He roared and rushed to the sidelines, kicked the billboard over, and waved his fist to the stands, as if he wanted to vent his anger after sitting on the bench for a year at Southampton. Play it all out.

Although the score was equalized, the state of Mallorca is still worrying. Although Pei Wei tried his best to control the team's situation in the midfield, Eto'o seemed very depressed and had wasted several opportunities in a row.

The consequence of the weakness of the front is that the whole Mallorca team is passive. In the No. 20 minute of the second half, Valencia emptied Mallorca's defensive force after a series of inversions in the midfield. When he was forced to move to the right to help defend Mista, Aimar beautifully distributed the ball to the middle, and Baraja, who was plugged in, made a powerful long shot in front of the penalty area. The ball went straight to the dead corner, and Francois Although my brother fought hard to save, the ball still went straight into the net.

Mallorca, which fell behind again, launched a flood of attacks, but Delgado was firmly watched by Pellegrino, who was ashamed and courageous. Inferior to Delgado, Ibagaza and Campano's several threatening crosses from the wing were destroyed by him.

No.80 minutes, Pei Wei finally found an opportunity in his relentless running. His sudden acceleration threw away the slack Albelda, and Ibagaza crossed the ball to Pei Wei's feet without losing the opportunity. Pei Wei He kicked the ball directly while running.

This is a shot about 28 meters away from the goal, and the ball roars and flies to the upper right corner of the goal.

"Get in!" Aragones had already stood up, clenched his fists and shouted in his heart.

The first game of the season is at home again, so there is absolutely nothing to lose.

Seeing that the ball was about to hit the net, but Valencia's goalkeeper Canizares is no easy person, he soared into the air beautifully, and hit the ball hard with one punch out of the baseline.

Canizares jumped up after rolling on the ground, he roared loudly: "Be careful! That kid's long-range shooting power has increased again! Don't let him have a chance to kick!"

Mallorca's corner kick, Pei Wei sent the ball to the middle of the penalty area, Canizares rushed out of the small penalty area decisively, took the ball off Nadal's head, and shouted: "Kili!" Then Yelling drove the ball to the left.

Valencia's counterattack, Kyle Gonzalez comfortably stopped the ball, and then started a wild ride down the left!

Pablo carefully blocked Keeley's inside line, and used his body to slowly suppress him on the side.

Keely was about to hit a dead end, but a clever heel dribble knocked Pablo out of the way before turning and passing the ball into the penalty area.

"Oops!" When Pablo turned to block, it was too late, and he had to watch the ball fly into the penalty area.

At this time, only Nino was left defending in the penalty area, and the opponent's Mista and Angulo were attacking him!
Angulo leaned against Nino, preventing him from jumping, while Mista jumped high, a powerful lion head shake!

"Good! Franco made a great save and saved Mallorca!" The commentator on the scene shouted loudly, and the fans also applauded Franco to encourage him. It seems that Franco's performance It has completely replaced Roa's position in the hearts of Mallorca fans.

Franco completely entered the role, and he loudly commanded the defenders in the penalty area: "Captain, keep an eye on Angulo! Nino, stand in the penalty area and pay attention to the opponent's movement!"

Aimar took a corner kick, and Franco pushed Keeley out of the way, then jumped high and punched the ball out of the penalty area!

Campano, who returned to the penalty area to help defend, received the ball, and then quickly passed the ball to Pei Wei who had been waiting in front for a long time!
With a light pad on the instep of Pei Wei, the ball stopped obediently, and then took advantage of the momentum and rushed across the middle circle.

Baraja came up to defend, and Pei Wei's left shoulder suddenly sank during the high-speed running. Baraja immediately stretched out his foot to block it like a conditioned reflex, but Pei Wei pulled the ball to the other side and easily got rid of Baraja. Ha's defense.

At this slow time, Albelda had already caught up and stuck to Pei Wei tightly, trying to slow down his speed, while Ayala and the two full-backs also retreated one after another.

Pei Wei slowed down, and just when Albelda was about to stretch his feet to steal the ball, Pei Wei suddenly leaned against him with his back forcefully. Albelda felt that Pei Wei was pushing hard to the left, and he immediately Focus on the left.

Pei Wei swayed to the left, knocked the ball forward at the same time, and rushed out quickly!
Albelda didn't expect Pei Wei to move so fast, he got rid of his defense in a blink of an eye, he immediately stabilized his body, and quickly chased after him.

His speed was also very fast, and he finally caught up with Pei Wei more than 20 meters away from the goal. Seeing that Pei Wei's speed hadn't slowed down at all, he immediately leaned his shoulders up and made a powerful impact!

Pei Wei was knocked to the ground, the referee's whistle sounded immediately, Valencia fouled, Mallorca's free kick!

Valencia's players surrounded the referee's defense, but the referee's expression was unquestionable.

Seeing that the defense was useless, the Valencia players slowly dispersed, and Canizares was directing the wall loudly.

Pei Wei picked up the ball from the ground, Flying Fire Meteor, the designated ball for the 2002 World Cup. It has a high-reflection layer that produces a correct trajectory and a double-layer structure that improves durability. It has very good elasticity, and England international David Beckham once praised it. By using this kind of football, you can make your free kick arc better and faster, but for goalkeepers, using this kind of football is not a good thing.

Pei Wei placed the ball on the penalty spot. This free kick was 26 meters away from the goal. The angle was not very good, and it was a little on the right side of the penalty area.

Valencia put up a five-man wall. It was already No. 807 minutes in the second half, and they didn't want to let the victory slip away like this.

Canizares is quite relieved. Free kicks were only a small part of Pei Wei's goals last season. Although his long-range shots are powerful, they don't show anything special about the arc. .

And this time, among the human walls put up by the team members, the shortest one is 1.8 meters zero. It is not easy to bypass the human wall.

He directed the other defensive players to keep a close eye on Mallorca's other defensive players in the penalty area, and he was confident that Mallorca's attack would come back without success.

The referee blew the whistle for a free throw, Pei Wei took a few steps back and started to run.

Albelda in the crowd subconsciously protected his lower body and face. He knew that he had fouled Pei Wei more than once or twice today. If Pei Wei took this opportunity of free throws to retaliate against him, he had to be careful.

Pei Wei ran close to the ball, tilted his body in an arc, and kicked the ball fiercely with his raised left foot!
"Okay, it's a cross." Canizares immediately judged where the ball landed, and he moved a few steps outward, ready to attack and catch the ball.

"No! This is..." Benitez saw that something was wrong, and he was about to remind him, but it was too late.

Obviously flying into the penalty area, the ball suddenly made a big bend, and the arc clearly visible to the naked eye crossed Valencia's human wall and went directly to the upper right corner of the goal.

"Oops!" Canizares was taken aback, he quickly stopped his attack, turned around and rushed to the right!

But the deafening cheers from the Mallorca fans speak volumes for his futility!

Fei Huo Meteor cheered and rushed into the upper right corner of the goal. In the 807th minute, Pei Wei's wonderful free kick made the Mallorca team equalize the score again!
After scoring the goal, Pei Wei raised his arms high to accept the cheers of the fans. In this summer's special training, he had to practice [-] free kicks every day, and he really received the results today!

Less than 5 minutes after this goal, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game. Finally, in the opening game of the new season of La Liga, Mallorca drew 2:2 at home with last season's defending champion Valencia. , earning one point.

At the same time, the results of other games were also announced. In the match between Real Madrid and Espanyol, the newly transferred Ronaldo started and formed a strike partner with Raul. Assisted McManaman scored the second goal, considered a perfect debut.

Deportivo were not so lucky. Although they scored two goals at home relying on Ma Kai and Tristan, their opponents, Real Betis, performed even crazier. Joaquin scored twice, and Alfonso And Assuncao scored one goal each, and Deportivo suffered a disastrous home defeat.

Luke came off the bench in the second half, but played as a left midfielder, and his performance was average.

Another team that won this round is Real Sociedad, Turkish striker Nihat scored twice, Kovacevic and Campo added to the cake, they also beat Bilbao 4:2 at home, and Real Betty Together they are at the top of the standings.

Sevilla was tied 1:1 by Celta Vigo at home. Zhu Jun was unable to play due to a cold. It was Oliveira who scored for Sevilla.

The first round is over, and to the astonishment of the ball critics, only Real Madrid scored three points in last year's top four, and the rest are either tied or lost, while the rise of Real Betis and Real Sociedad heralds this season La Liga will not be too peaceful.

What makes Mallorca fans talk about is Pei Wei's free kick, which was also named the best goal of this round of La Liga.
