Football career: From winning the championship to becoming a legend

In fact, there are many types of trebles. The most valuable treble in the traditional sense should be the champion of the continental Champions League, the champion of the domestic league and the most influential cup championship in the country.

但这种定格大满贯的三冠王在一个赛季之内是很难达成的，然而难度究竟有多大呢？自1955年成立欧冠以来，截止上赛季0，目前51年间只有5支球队5次实现“三冠王”伟业，分别是1966/67赛季的凯尔特人、1971/72赛季的阿贾克斯、1987/88赛季的埃因霍温、1998/99赛季的曼联、2009/10赛季的国米，从来没有球队尝试过两次。

当然在老李奇的知识体系中，在未来巴萨和拜仁都尝试过两夺三冠王；尤其是巴萨在2009年史无前例的在自然年度内包揽所有主要赛事冠军，包括08/09赛季西班牙国王杯冠军、08/09赛季西甲联赛冠军、08/09赛季欧洲冠军联赛冠军、2009年西班牙超级杯冠军、2009年欧洲超级杯冠军、和2009年国际足联俱乐部世界杯冠军，加冕史诗级成就六冠王！

But in fact, the triple crown seems to be the highest pinnacle of European club performance. Even Real Madrid, which had won the Champions League 14 times when old Li Qi traveled through time, had never won it. You can imagine how difficult it is!

If Sevilla can win the UEFA Cup or the Intertoto Cup, a less influential continental club cup, it would be considered a small treble achievement. Sevilla is currently striving for this small treble goal.

It is not easy to achieve the mini-treble. As of last season, only four teams have achieved this achievement, which is less than the maximum treble. Among them is a special head coach - the legendary coach Molino, who led Porto to become the third team to achieve the mini-treble in the 4/03 season.

另外三支球队是81/82赛季的瑞典超哥德堡队，00/01赛季的土超豪门加拉塔萨雷以及两个赛季前04/05赛季的莫斯科中央陆军。可以说2000年之后，连续就有3支球队达成了小三冠王的成就，毕竟对于很多非主流联赛俱乐部来说，这就已经是顶格荣誉了。

It is worth mentioning here that in the 10/11 season, Porto invited Villas-Boas, who was known as the "Little Mourinho", and won the small treble for the second time.

However, there are often clubs or fans who use the European Super Cup, the Club World Cup, the Community Shield, summer friendly matches and other cup competitions with less influence and shorter periods to make up the so-called pseudo treble. There are many such cases. For example, a certain London Premier League giant won the summer treble of the Premier League Asia Cup, the Emirates Cup and the Community Shield in a certain year!

If we follow this logic, Sevilla may even have a chance to win four titles this season, after all, they have already won a European Super Cup at the beginning of the season; and Ricardo may even have a chance to win a fifth title, which is the U21 European Championship in the summer...

In contrast to the situation at the beginning of the season when the team set out for summer warm-up, on the flight to Pamplona, ​​the capital of the Navarra Autonomous Region of Spain, it was Ricardo's turn to popularize knowledge about the Triple Crown to the noisy Maresca.

Pamplona is located between Athletic Bilbao and Zaragoza, more than 900 kilometers from Seville, from the southernmost tip of Spain to the northeastern tip of Spain, not far from the French border. However, as a tourist city with a population of less than 20, Pamplona's air routes are not well developed, so the entire Sevilla team also transferred from Madrid one day earlier to the away game in the first leg of the UEFA Cup semi-final...

It is worth mentioning that in Pamplona, ​​Sevilla has only achieved 8 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 visits to Osasuna, making it difficult to win.

2007年4月26日晚上20时45分，06/07赛季欧洲联盟杯半决赛首回合展开争夺，塞维利亚在客场挑战奥萨苏纳，一个目前西甲排名第二，一个目前西甲排名第14。

The top four teams in this year's UEFA Cup are also strange. Not to mention the Bundesliga powerhouse Werder Bremen, two of the remaining three La Liga teams are mid- and lower-level teams in the league. The other team, Espanyol, has just completed the relegation task and is currently ranked 10th in La Liga.

The very existence of Espanyol is almost a miracle, because even in Barcelona, ​​where it is located, some people question the reason for the team's existence. Espanyol was founded by Catalans themselves, while Barca was founded by foreigners in the same city, but what is incredible is that people talk about the two clubs in the exact opposite tone: Barca has always been the flag of Catalonia, while Espanyol is like a stepmother's child.

Since its establishment, the Espanyol team has experienced many ups and downs. They have achieved excellent results, giving fans great expectations and imaginations; at the same time, they have also been on the verge of relegation and even fell into the abyss of the second division. However, no matter how the team performs and what the results are, the fans of the Espanyol team always follow the team and provide the team with the greatest support, which is one of the reasons why the team has an amazing performance in the European arena this season.

In the first leg of another UEFA Cup semi-final that kicked off at the same time today, the Spaniard defeated the Bundesliga's most powerful attacking team Werder Bremen with a score of 3-0 through efficient and quick counterattacks, and has already put one foot on the road to the Glasgow final.

This is another date between Espanyol and the UEFA Cup. Just 19 years ago, Espanyol made it to the UEFA Cup final, but lost to Leverkusen 2-3 in a penalty shootout, handing over the championship trophy to the Germans. As if it was a deliberate arrangement of fate, 19 years later, Valverde, who was benched by the coach at that time, became the team's head coach.

It is worth mentioning that according to UEFA's team scoring coefficient (2 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, extra points for promotion), Espanyol is still the team with the most points in this season's European competition, reaching 30.89 points, which is more than their combined points in the past three seasons. Looking at the teams behind it: Chelsea, Manchester United, Sevilla, AC Milan, people have reason to believe that Espanyol will appear in the final in Glasgow...

Back to the match between Sevilla and Osasuna, both teams sent out the strongest starting lineups they could.

Osasuna used their usual 4-4-2 formation, with the starting 11 being:

门将13号里卡多；后卫线一字排开是7号克鲁查加，19号科拉德斯，5号奎利亚尔与2号埃兹奎尔多；

The four main players in the midfield are No. 16 David Lopez, No. 6 Raul Garcia, No. 12 Juanfran and No. 10 Punya;

The forward duo is No. 9 Milosevic and No. 18 Soldado;

Among them, Juanfran is also an old acquaintance of Li Qi. In addition, Milosevic, Soldado and Raul Garcia are also well-known players in the La Liga arena.

Sevilla also used a 4-4-2 starting formation, and in this game Juan Ramos arranged Li Qi to play as a defensive midfielder to strengthen the control of the midfield. It is obvious that he wanted to replicate the situation in the first round of the King's Cup semi-final and try to make the second round lose suspense directly, so that there will be some room for maneuver in the championship sprint in May.

The goalkeeper is still No. 13 Kobegno. Although Palop has returned to the team after recovering from injury, Juan Ramos still decided to continue using the No. 2 goalkeeper who has been in good form recently.

The left and right backs are No. 6 Adriano and No. 4 Alves, and the double center backs are No. 19 Dragutinovic and captain No. 2 Navarro;

The left and right midfielders are No. 15 Navas and No. 25 Maresca, and the double defensive midfielders are No. 8 Paulson and No. 7 Li Qi;

The double center forward tactic naturally selected No. 10 Fabiano who played a dominant performance in the last game and No. 12 Kanoute, the team's top scorer;

Sitting on the bench are a group of good players including Escud, Puerta, Marti, Renato, Korzakov and Hinkle, ready to go.

However, with Li Qi and Paulson in the midfield, Sevilla performed extremely strongly after the kick-off, and immediately took control of the tempo of the game and most of the ball possession.

At the beginning of the game, Osasuna wanted to take advantage of the home advantage and take advantage of the away team's unstable footing to press hard and attack; but it was obvious that Sevilla was well prepared. The away team started to pass the ball from the Brazilian full-backs on both wings of the backcourt, and midfielder Li Qi was responsible for retreating to respond, and then the two wings of the midfield began to attack the opponent's defense line. The small cooperation was so smooth and smooth, which was incomparable to two or three months ago!

Sevilla had the first chance to score in the 12th minute. Li Qi passed the ball to Navas on the right wing, who cut inside at high speed after receiving the ball, and after passing and cutting with Fabiano to attract the defense, he suddenly passed the ball to Alves who was on the side.

Alves didn't adjust and just swung the ball towards the goal from the right. Mali international Kanoute succeeded in scoring from 8 yards in front of the goal, but unfortunately his volley shot went high and slightly over the crossbar. Kanoute slapped the grass with regret after missing the ball, and then he didn't forget to give Alves a thumbs up...

The home team naturally did not want to be outdone, and although they retreated to fight back, they had to fight for their dignity with the cheers of nearly 10,000 fans at the Sadar Stadium; so Osasuna continued to threaten Sevilla's goal with long-range shots.

However, it was not so easy to shoot from the center where Li Qi and Paulson were guarding, and they could only try slightly at the two flanks. So Punya and Raul Garcia knew that their luck was not very good today, and the ball they shot was still some distance away from the goal.

In the first half, Osasuna's two strikers completely learned the Japanese ninja's invisibility technique and were nowhere to be seen for a long time...

Just after 15 minutes of the game, Sevilla's midfield, under the command of Li Qi, suddenly accelerated the offensive tempo, especially the golden right wing on the side of Alves and Navas, which set Osasuna's defense alarm ringing.

In the 21st minute, Sevilla had another chance to score. Navas received the ball from Alves and dribbled past the defense at high speed. He forced a dunk near the baseline and rushed into the bottom corner of the penalty area before sweeping across the middle!

There was a melee in Osasuna's small penalty area, but Osasuna goalkeeper Ricardo still managed to swipe the ball away from Kanoute's feet; Fabiano missed the step and failed to catch up with the supplementary shot in front of the goal, but he cleverly helped Li Qi who was following up to set a screen.

Li Qi intercepted the ball hit by the goalkeeper at the edge of the penalty area, but the ball had a strong rotation and was not easy to stop, and Juanfran flew in front of him to block the shot.

So Li Qi stopped the ball directly to his side, setting up a gun mount for Maresca who had a better angle and was more prepared.

Xiao Ma Ge stepped on the penalty area line and shot the ball with a lever, but it was blocked by the dense crowd in the penalty area. The ball first hit Colades' arm and then bounced to Fabiano's heel and turned out of the bottom line.

Several Sevilla midfielders who witnessed the whole process immediately signaled to the referee that the Osasuna defender had committed a handball foul in the penalty area; however, the referee was unmoved, believing that Collades did not open his arms to expand the defensive area, and his arms were naturally drooping when hit by the ball, so it was not considered an intentional handball. Osasuna escaped again...

After the first shot failed, Sevilla slowed down the pace of attack, took a breath, and prepared for the next wave of attack. However, the home team tried to threaten the visiting team's goal through set pieces, but Raul Garcia's header in the 34th minute was beautifully saved by Cobegno, and David Lopez's free kick almost assisted successfully.

However, after Osasuna's set-piece attack was frustrated, Sevilla once again picked up the tempo of the game, this time mainly attacking the left wing. Li Qi deliberately moved closer to Adriano and Maresca on the left. Although the latter two were not as fast as the two abnormal players on the right, their physical fitness was stronger, and their cooperation with Li Qi was more skillful and varied.

So in the 40th minute of the first half, Sevilla once again won a golden opportunity. Adriano stopped Li Qi's long pass on the sideline, then pretended to advance with the ball, attracted double-teaming defense, and passed the ball diagonally to Maresca, who kicked the ball and hit it with his heel to Li Qi who arrived 1 second later.

Li Qi also did not stop the ball, and also kicked the ball out with one foot, passing behind Maresca who was making a forward run, but was again intercepted at high speed near the baseline by Adriano who was circling the outside line.

Adriano made a slight adjustment and sent a reverse triangle pass to Maresca in the corner of the penalty area. Marco lowered his shoulders and faked a move, dodged the gap, and pretended to shoot, deceiving Raul Garcia who was defending closely, and led the ball into the bottom corner of the small penalty area with one dribble; facing the attacking goalkeeper, Marco sent another reverse triangle pass back...

In the middle of the small penalty area, 5 yards from the goal, it was Mali striker Kanoute who caught Cuellar and shot into the empty goal! Unfortunately, the ball was shot too straight and was blocked by the returning Collades.

Kanoute missed another great chance to score, and this time he held his head in disbelief after missing the ball. Damn, three chances, and he couldn't score a single one?

Li Qi was also a little helpless. The coordination of this wave of attack was too smooth. The continuous kicks and quick passes directly stunned Osasuna's defense... But Kanoute's shot was really a bit lame. There was no angle and the power was not good. It was actually saved by the opponent's defender on the goal line? It would be unreasonable not to treat the teammates who participated in this wave to a good meal after the game.

Seeing that Team B missed a series of good scoring opportunities in the first half, Juan Ramos on the sidelines frowned. This was not a good sign. Wasting opportunities on the football field would be punished.

As expected, in the first half stoppage time, Osasuna once again used set pieces to launch an attack, but Juan Ramos was scared out of his wits...
