Chapter 227: Dream Start (Asking for a Monthly Pass)

20 March 2008.

Half an hour before the start of the game.

The whole Ibiza squad arrived at the pitch half an hour earlier than usual, and they warmed up 15 minutes earlier than usual.

In the dressing room of the home team at the Atletico Ibiza stadium.

The players were surprised to find that the doors and windows were closed, the blinds were lowered, and the lights were dim.

At this moment, the dim lights went out and the projector projected images on a white screen.

"This is our match against Barcelona!" Someone shouted.

The edited footage of the game provides a brief recap of the game, highlighting the four goals scored by the Barcelonans and the huge cheers at the Camp Nou.

This is a live video of the local TV station in Barcelona that Fang Jue arranged for the staff to get, from the perspective of Barcelona as the home team.

"This is Barcelona! That's what a strong Barcelona is all about! The local Barcelona commentator said excitedly, "The resistance of the Ibizan people collapsed in the face of the constant attacks of the Barcelona stars!" This is our Barcelona! Great Barcelona! We can now say that we have reached the finals! ”

At the end of the video is the shouts of a local Barcelona commentator.

In order to make it easier for the players to understand, Ibiza's subtitle team also thoughtfully provided Polish, French, and German text translations for the last commentary.

The picture freezes with flags fluttering and cheering crowds at the Camp Nou in the background.

There was a brief silence in the room.

……

"Turn on the lights!"

The lights are back on.

"After the defeat to Barcelona, I forbade you to talk about Barcelona, forbade you to watch the video and the news of this game, do you know why?"

Fang Jue walked slowly through the passage in the middle of the players' seats, saying as he walked.

"The media said that I was hit hard, and I was even more afraid that this fiasco would affect the team, so I chose to escape!" Fang Jue suddenly raised his voice, "Shit! Bullshit! Am I that vulnerable? Are you the kind of weaklings who can't stand a blow? ”

"Answer me!"

"It's not!" Deisler, as the captain, stood up and said.

"Is there anything more suffocating and despairing than when we had the most difficult moment of last season?" Fang Jue continued, "No! Is there anything more stressful than not being paid at the beginning, the team on the verge of disbanding, and surviving? ”

"Nope!" He waved his arm vigorously!

"Nope!" Under the leadership of captain Deisler, everyone shouted, even the new players who did not experience Ibiza's magnificent PUBG last season also heard the old players talk about the situation last season, the past difficulties, after the success, is no longer an unspeakable past, but a proud memory! It's a medal!

"I don't let you think about Barcelona, that's because it's still early in the second leg, we can't keep thinking about it, we can't keep thinking about it with revenge on our backs!"

"Of course, I know a lot of people can't help but think about this game." Fang Jue said, "No one likes to lose, no one will calmly accept a heavy defeat, even if our opponent is a giant like Barcelona!" ”

"At the very least, I don't think it's Barcelona, we should accept defeat calmly, and we will say to ourselves, it's normal to lose to Barcelona." Fang Jue looked at the players, "Do you think so?" ”

"No!" The crowd shouted.

The atmosphere in the locker room became hot, and the scorching emotions were spreading.

This is the importance of pre-war mobilization, people are conformists, will be influenced by the people around them, even if they would have thought in their hearts that it is indeed normal to lose to Barcelona with Ibiza's strength, at this moment, they will be infected by this warm emotion.

Yes!

Barcelona are giants, that's right!

However, this is not a reason why we can accept failure!

……

"We can think about the final, neither Valencia nor Getafe can stop us from winning another title!"

"Ibiza? They did a miracle and reached the semi-finals, which is a good result that can go down in the history of their club, but, unfortunately, they were knocked out by the mighty Barcelona! ”

"Our lads are in the second leg and can take a trip to Ibiza, which is a beautiful place!"

Fang Jue took a stack of newspapers and read them one by one, his tone was flat and without the slightest emotion.

"These are all reports from the Catalan media, I didn't add a word." Fang Jue said.

He looked at the crowd and saw the anger on the players' faces.

Very good!

"The Barcelona people say they've reached the final and they've started celebrating early." Fang Jue shook his head, "I don't want to make any comments, I just want to tell you what I think, this game, I won't deliberately emphasize revenge, talk about turning the tables!" However, I would be very unconvinced, there is a fire in my chest! ”

Fang Jue beat his chest hard, "This is our home stadium, I don't allow the Barcelona people to continue to show off here!" ”

"Ibiza has the dignity of Ibiza!" Fang Jue raised the stack of newspapers in his hand and turned the newspapers directly into the air, "In today's game, I only need one request, fight!" Fight! When the game is over, you can leave the stadium proudly and with your head held high! ”

"Even if it's Barcelona, we're going to bite off a piece of their meat!"

"Go ahead! Fight! Tell the proud Barcelonans! Tell them! You're all kind of men! Tell them it's Ibiza! This is our place! Tell me your answer, are you men? Fang Jue thumped his chest hard.

"Yes!!" With a roar, everyone stood up from their seats.

"I've talked about the tactics of this game many times! From the first second of the game, attack, fight, attack, fight! Think of your unwillingness and tears at Camp Nou, and now, with the blood of the fight, tell our fans, tell yourself, you are warriors! It's a warrior! ”

"There are only standing and dead warriors in Ibiza, and there are no cowards who raise their hands and surrender!" Fang Jue roared hysterically, beating his chest hard!

His eyes were red, and his expression could even be said to be a little hideous.

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The players were yelling, waving their fists, pounding their chests, and the locker room was so noisy that even the air seemed to be burning.

Assistant coach Ceballos looked at his watch and reminded the players that it was time to get ready to enter the pitch.

"Let's go!" Deisler raised his right arm, "Fight!" ”

"Go, fight! Go ahead, fight! Fight! Fang Jue opened the door of the locker room and yelled almost frantically, he high-fived every player who passed by him, spoke loudly, encouraged them, and everyone rushed out with their heads held high!

The atmosphere in the locker room was too hot, and they now felt that only by starting the game quickly, starting quickly, could this fire in their hearts be released!

……

"That's great! I've never seen you like this. Ceballos looked at the players who rushed out of the dressing room, and said with the same excited expression.

"I just said what was in everyone's hearts and aroused their unwillingness and fighting spirit." Fang Jue's voice was a little hoarse and said.

"No, only you can convince them and make them fight willingly!" Ceballos said that he did not consider himself flattering, and that was the big truth.

"Let's go." Fang Jue clapped his hands, for this game, he had been preparing for so long, so much, now, it was time to witness.

"I'm curious, why don't you mention wins and turnovers all the time?" Ceballos finally expressed his doubts, this is because he is still aware of the gap in strength, so he won't say something like that?

"In the face of a strong opponent, don't deliberately emphasize the strength of the opponent, and don't shout revenge, that will only remind the players of the strength of the opponent and the past failure." Fang Jue said as he walked, "Now, all we have to do is fight!" As for the result......"

Fang Jue paused, "As long as you work hard, does the result matter?" ”

Results matter! Fang Jue said in his heart, however, he can't say that, as he said to Ceballos just now, emphasizing revenge and turning the tables will only make the players subconsciously think, can we do it?

This will form psychological cues that will calm their hot blood.

Therefore, Fang Jue chose the most direct and simple way: don't talk about the result, just fight chicken blood!

……

The starting line-ups of both sides have been shown on the big screen of the stadium.

Barcelona line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeepers: 25 - Holkra;

Backline: 11-Zambrotta, 3-Gabriel. Milito, 4-Marcos, 16-Silvinho;

Midfielders: 15-Edmilson, 20-Deco, 17-dos Santos;

Forward line: 27-Bojan, 7-Gudjohnsen, 19-Messi;

"Compared with the first leg, Barcelona made a certain amount of rotation, Holkela was the starting goalkeeper, ValdΓ©s was rested, Mexican veteran Marcos replaced captain Puyol, Silvinho also replaced Abidal, the midfield also changed a lot, Edmilson and dos Santos replaced Yaya Toure and Xavi, up front, Bojan and Gudjohnsen replaced Eto'o and Henry, only Zambrotta, Milito, Deco and Messi started the first leg." Dolores said.

"The first leg is four to one, Barcelona can be said to have advanced in advance, it is understandable to rotate this game, and the current lineup on the field is also very strong." David. Zamora said.

He was right, although Barcelona felt that the second leg was just a formality and a rotation, but the Barcelona reporters in the media box shared his opinion that Barcelona's starting line-up is still strong and not something that Ibiza, a La Liga team, can compete with.

For example, Marcos, Silvinho, Edmilson and other veterans are also the main players of Barcelona for many years, but because of age and injuries, they have played a lot less this season, but their experience and ability are beyond doubt.

As for dos Santos and Bojan, these are the talented players of La Masia, and in such a relatively easy game, it is the opportunity for young people to exercise.

The camera also found Ronaldinho on the bench at this time, Barcelona sent dos Santos and Bojan, not Ronaldinho, although it can also be understood as 'killing chickens with a knife', but this will definitely cause a lot of controversy after the game.

Ibiza line-up (4-2-3-1):

Goalkeepers: 1-Simon Wright;

Backline: 20-Abate, 15-Koscielny, 2-Ayala, 16-Alba;

Midfielders: 5-Clement, 4-Mark. Croosas, 7-Mata, 17-Reuss, 10-Deisler;

Forwards: 25-Lewandowski;

"Compared to the first leg at Camp Nou, the biggest change for Ibiza is Mark. The replacement of Greno by Corrosas is a signal for the attack, but I am not too optimistic about the change. "David. Zamora shook his head and said, "In this game, Ibiza has to defend well and avoid a heavy defeat at home, if it does lose at home, it will be a bigger blow to the confidence of this young team." ”

"Ibiza, this is going to attack?" The commentator of the local TV station in Barcelona couldn't help but laugh, "Do you think you haven't conceded enough goals at Camp Nou, and you want to score a few more goals when you come back to home?" Messi and Bojan and Dos Santos are the good luck of young people, maybe they can score a hat-trick today? ”

The irony and contempt for the opponent in this discourse can be said to be quite strong.

……

Fang Jue shook hands with Barcelona coach Rijkaard, the two of them just a formulaic handshake, and even the greeting was just the simplest, 'I hope it's a good game'.

The two have no friendship, so it can't be said how arrogant Rijkaard is, the head coach of Barcelona and a young coach in La Liga, maybe it will be difficult to have any intersection in the future.

'Barcelona have a big rotation. Ceballos said.

Fang Jue nodded, several substitute veterans and young people got starts, is this really the meaning of treating this game as a formality?

Fang Jue could feel Barcelona's arrogance and contempt for Ibiza, which made him very unhappy, but he liked it.

Referee Gonzalez blew the whistle for the start of the game.

Almost at the same time, Fang Jue pinched and exploded seven 'Yellow Lucky Balls' in the system in a row.

In the easing of the coin guess, Ibiza captain Deisler won Barcelona today's captain Marcos, and Ibiza won the right to pick the side, so Barcelona kicked off first.

Amid huge boos, Barcelona kicks off.

Gudjohnsen passes the ball back to Bojan from Messi.

Then, the two men ran forward.

Bojan looked very excited, he made a gesture to pass back to Deco, but as soon as he dunked the football, he took the ball straight forward to kill.

This caused even greater boos from the stands, and it was clear that this move by Bojan was interpreted as a contempt for Ibiza.

Bojan took advantage of the change in speed to get past Mata and then he was about to move on.

Then, in the next second, Bojan was taken by Mark. Korozas tackles to the ground.

The referee's whistle blows, and Ibiza fouls!

Bojan watched his former La Masia teammates run back without even looking at him, and Bojan, who was going to say hello to Korosas, got up stupidly.

……

A free kick from Barcelona.

Deco hoisted the ball forward, and Ayala squeezed Gudjohnsen out of the way.

Dos Santos grabbed the football back before his former La Masia teammate Alba, and then he pulled the ball and turned around, about to look for his teammate, Clement rushed up directly and knocked away Dos Santos, who is considered to be the Mexican Ronaldinho, is indeed very delicate under his feet, and while he was stumbling down, he still stretched out his legs and pulled the football back, and a pull under his feet avoided Clement's next step.

Barcelona fans in front of the TV applauded and cheered for the beautiful technique of dos Santos.

It's not enough.

Dos Santos continued to play a trick, jumping the soccer ball up and making a gesture to turn around, but with a movement similar to a scorpion's tail swing, the soccer ball ...... Pass to Korosas!

Korosas knew the former teammate who liked to show himself well, and he suddenly stepped up and made a steal in the passing lane!

"Beautiful! Korozas steals successfully! ”

Korozas cushioned the ball and then dribbled forward.

Seeing the football being tackled, Dos Santos did not go to the counter-attack, defense is not his job, today's game, in the face of the weak team Ibiza, his goal is to attack, is to score, this is a great opportunity to show his attacking talent.

Deco came up to interfere with Crosas, who passed the ball before he could get close to Deco.

Deisler received the ball, the Ibiza captain gave the ball a nice beat, then pulled the ball and turned around to send it to the left wing.

Where, Mata was already plugged in at high speed.

Zambrotta didn't go up blindly, he motioned for Edmilson to go up and interfere with Mata, while he himself stared at Alba, who was inserting at high speed, and in the first leg, Zambrotta knew that the left-back from La Masia was fast.

Sure enough, Mata pushed the ball out when he saw Edmilson coming to press, targeting Alba, who was cutting forward at high speed from his side.

As I expected, Zambrotta pressed on and prepared to force Alba.

However, the experienced Italian veteran is not too aggressive, and he is still more afraid of Alba's speed and technique.

Alba dribbles the ball straight to Zambrotta.

It was at this time, just before the two of them were about to make contact, Zambrotta suddenly kicked out.

However, Alba had no intention of passing the opponent, he suddenly stopped and smashed the ball!

Zambrotta had been prepared for this and went sideways to block, but he did not wait for Alba's next breakthrough, Alba knocked the ball back to Corosas, who did not let the ball stay at his feet, but directly transferred a long diagonal pass, the ball directly from the side close to the left, a long pass to the right, where Reus.

……

"Accurate passing! Korosas! Dolores shouted.

'It's Croozas, our number four, and he delivers beautiful long balls. Barcelona's commentator couldn't help but praise that Corosas is the No. 4 crown prince of La Masia, although he is now Ibiza, but the people of Barcelona still have a close feeling to him.

Reus was so fast that he caught up with the ball and then faced the oncoming Silvinho with a smash at his feet.

Silvinho, who is very experienced, immediately changed his movements, stretched out his foot and stabbed the football open, and then, before Silvinho could be happy, he saw Reus's second reaction very quickly, touching the football with his dragged right foot, and the football was hooked back by him.

However, after such a delay, Silvinho moved again, blocking Royce's continued path.

"Beautiful! In front of the experienced Silvinho, Reus was still very immature. ”

Before the Barcelona commentator could speak, Reus dunked the ball with his right foot to his left foot, his body carried Silvinho, and swept the ball into the box with his left foot.

In the penalty area, Barcelona captain Marcos carried Lewandowski and did not give the opponent a chance to grab a shot.

At this moment, a figure wearing a blue jersey appeared on the football route and directly swept the football diagonally back to the top of the arc of the penalty area.

Barcelona midfielder Edmilson fell to the ground and slid in an attempt to clear the ball.

However, before his feet touched the football, a figure rushed up and fired a powerful volley against the football!

The ball flew up and towards the goal, and Barcelona's goalkeeper Holkra rushed out of the door, he was about to hit the ball, and he hit the ball successfully, and the ball bounced to the side, and the ghost landed right in front of Lewandowski and Marcos.

Both men were stunned for a moment, and then almost at the same time to make a move, but Lewandowski, who was younger and stronger, reacted faster, pouted his butt, blocked Marcos's outstretched leg with his hips, and then, with a powerful sweep of his right foot, the football bounced up and flew into the net, rolling the snow-white net high......

The Ibiza Athletic Stadium, which can accommodate more than 8,000 people, was silent for a moment, and then, seeing the trembling of the net, saw the football in the net:

Bang!

The whole stadium is like a volcano erupting!

In the second leg of the semi-finals of the 2007/2008 Spanish Copa del Rey, Ibiza played Barcelona at home. Lewandowski grabbed a point in front of the goal and scored a shot, Ibiza 1-0 Barcelona!

They got off to a dream start that no one expected.

Now, the two-legged aggregate score is 2-4, with Ibiza two goals behind.

ps: Ask for a monthly pass, thank you.
