Tomasson's goal helped Ibiza equalise.

Fang Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief, but now is not the moment to completely relax, after all, Maritimo only needs to score one goal to equalize the aggregate score and drag the game into extra time, given that Ibiza is now playing with one less person, and his physical fitness is not as good as Maritimo, once he is dragged into extra time, it is really difficult to say who will die.

Maritimo clearly knew that, too, and in the final moments of the game, the Portuguese giants launched a fierce attack on the Ibiza goal.

Bravo, who had already squeezed out last season's first-choice goalkeeper Simon Wright and was now firmly in the starting line-up, was very good, opening high and low in the final moments of the game to make at least two crucial saves.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, Fang Jue clenched his fists and waved hard, 1 to 1, the total score was 3 to 2, and Ibiza successfully advanced to the group stage of the UEFA Cup.

Fang Jue admitted that he was a little underestimated, coupled with unexpected circumstances such as Reus's early injury and Bolaruz's red card, Ibiza can be said to have played passively throughout the game today, but fortunately, Fang Jue's substitution at a critical moment had an effect, and the Danish veteran Tomasson did not disappoint him.

This is also the reason why Fang Jue insists on bringing in a veteran like Tomasson, Lewandowski and Aubameyang are very good, but both of them are too young and lack experience in the competition, and the introduction of an experienced veteran like Tomasson can be topped at a critical moment.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that when Tomasson played for AC Milan, he often played the role of a 'super substitute' who scored goals after coming on the bench, and in today's game, the Danish veteran showed his 'business proficiency'.

After the game, Fang Jue praised Tomasson fiercely in the locker room.

The Danish veteran was very happy to hear it, and Tomasson understood his position as a substitute role, able to score goals in limited playing time, and win the recognition and praise of the coach, which brought great psychological comfort to a veteran.

……

The two-legged match between Ibiza and Maritimo is used to being called the third round of the UEFA Cup qualifying round by the media, but in fact, according to the official statement, this should already be regarded as the main round of the UEFA Cup, but there is a main match before the group stage, which is more or less different from people's understanding, and many media are still used to calling it the third round of qualification.

A total of 80 teams participated in the first round, including 32 teams who qualified directly for the main tournament, and Ibiza was one of the 32 teams that won the Copa del Rey in Spain, in addition to the 16 teams that lost in the third round of the Champions League qualifying round and 32 teams who qualified from the second round of the League Cup, for a total of 80 teams.

80 teams are eliminated home and away, with the winning 40 teams going on to the UEFA Cup group stage.

Now, Ibiza have eliminated Maritimo to qualify for the group stage of the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup.

A total of 40 teams participated in the group stage, divided into 8 groups.

The group stage adopts a single round-robin group stage, with a total of 24 teams from the top three teams in each group qualifying, and these 24 teams and the eight third-place teams in the group who were 'relegated' from the group stage of the European Champions Cup form the round of 32, and then fight each other to start the knockout round.

From here, it can be seen that the current UEFA Cup format is lengthy, which is already a streamlined schedule, after the previous UEFA Cup round of 32, it will be grouped again, and the group stage will produce the top 16 knockout rounds.

In the eyes of some media and fans, Ibiza does not have the ability to play on multiple fronts right now and should focus on the league, with the UEFA Cup abandoning at the right moment.

This is mainly because of the European Champions Cup in front, the UEFA Cup is obviously insufficient, which is why many teams do not attach importance to the UEFA Cup.

However, the senior management of the Ibiza club, including the head coach Fang Jue, believe that Ibiza should go as far as possible in the European competition, and the outstanding results in the European competition will further expand the influence of the club, and for Fang Jue, the better Ibiza's results, the greater the influence, the higher the market value, and the more valuable the shares in his hands.

Ibiza was forced to draw at home by Maritimo and struggled to qualify for the group stage of the UEFA Cup with almost all its main force, and there were some weird voices in the media.

This is the media, there were also media that Ibiza should give up the European competition and concentrate on playing in the league, but the game between Ibiza and Maritimo did not play well, and the same media began to say strange things, "As" criticized Ibiza, 'A somewhat ugly game, Ibiza advanced thrillingly, avoiding the embarrassment of going out in the third round of qualifying, and at the same time that Real Madrid and Barcelona won European points for La Liga, we hope that some teams can also achieve a minimum bottom line result......

Fang Jue sneered, judging from the Champions League results of La Liga teams in recent seasons, it is barely reasonable to say that Barcelona has grabbed points for La Liga and earned face, after all, Barcelona won the Champions League in 2006, but Real Madrid has fallen in the round of 16 for many consecutive seasons.

Of course, feng shui takes turns, and Barcelona has only achieved European results in recent seasons, before that, Real Madrid's Galaxy Battleship was better than Barcelona's, especially in 2002, with Zidane's kick flying out of the sky, Real Madrid stood at the top of Europe, and the scenery of the Galaxy Battleship was unparalleled for a while.

……

On 6 October, Ibiza celebrated the sixth round of the league.

They face Huelva away.

For this match, around a few hundred Ibiza fans followed the team to the away game.

This is already very good for a small island team with a small population and area, after all, it is just an ordinary La Liga game, not an important game.

Obviously, in the first five rounds of the league, Ibiza ranked third in the league with three wins and two draws, accumulating 11 points, which completely ignited the enthusiasm of Ibiza fans to follow the team to watch away games.

Before the start of the game, Fang Jue was in the away team's locker room, watching the players who were ready to play, shouting, "Win the game!" I have only one request! Win the game, overtake Real Madrid and shut up the Madridians! Go for it, fuck it! ”

In the first game of the round, Real Madrid were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Espanyol, so Ibiza would overtake Real Madrid in points if they win the game against Huelva.

As for why Fang Jue only targeted Real Madrid and didn't shout to surpass Barcelona?

That's because, at the top of the standings, Ibiza is third, and Barcelona is pressed under Ibiza and is fifth.

A win against Huelva would see Ibiza finish second in the league at least, with Real Madrid and Barcelona under them, which is not too cool.

As he spoke, Fang Jue forcefully opened the door of the locker room.

The noise outside poured in instantly, and everyone's spirits were lifted.

With Ibiza being promoted and Huelva being the traditional underdogs, this is not a traditional focus game, but the market is still hot, and the atmosphere in the Spanish stadium is very contagious, with the fanatical fans singing the home anthem and rhythmically waving the flag or scarf while rhythmically waving the flag or scarf. Anyone who is in the middle of it can't help but be impressed by the frenetic atmosphere.

……

The overall style of play in La Liga is to emphasize technique and generally play ground attack. Generally, there are few tall players, and the game in La Liga is basically inverted feet, passing, ball control, and returning passes, and they have been seesawing in the midfield, and the pace of the game is relatively slow.

This is the style of La Liga, and it is worth noting that the more middle and lower teams, the more they adhere to the offensive style of technical flow, so to speak, the general characteristics of middle and lower teams are strong in attack and weak in defense.

On the contrary, traditional La Liga powerhouses such as Sevilla, Valencia and Atletico Madrid are generally good at counter-attacking defense.

There is another characteristic, that is, as long as the weak team is led by the opponent by more than two goals, it has little fighting spirit to accumulate and fight, that is, the will to fight is not strong enough.

In the Premier League or Serie A, it is not easy to play in the middle and lower teams, especially in the Premier League, even giants such as Manchester United and Chelsea have a headache in the face of the swing of the middle and lower teams.

For example, in the Premier League, the technology of the middle and lower reaches of the team is not as good as the strong team, but there is a body, just the fierce confrontation, the desperate scramble, coupled with the whole team's stubborn defense, can make the strong team a headache, in the Premier League or Serie A, especially the former, the probability of a weak team upset is much higher than that of La Liga.

However, in La Liga, as long as you are strong enough, the middle and lower teams are really good to play, because the opponent will rarely focus on defense, and even a promoted team will dare to attack at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid, although the result is that these weak teams die miserably...... However, they don't care, in the Bernabeu or Camp Nou and Real Madrid, Barcelona have a good time, how cool, anyway, even if it is relegation, it is not to take points from the giants, some of them are hi.

This may also have something to do with Spain's preference for Latin style, which pursues romance and enjoyment in its bones.

At the very least, that's the style of La Liga right now.

Therefore, Fang Jue actually likes to touch a middle and lower level team like Huelva: if you go down with two or three shots, the opponent's body will be soft, and you will be able to ravage it.

Ibiza's young man ran aggressively, fought aggressively, had strong firepower, had speed, coordination, technique, and hardness, and quickly took control of the game.

"We need to open up the situation as soon as possible." These are the words that Fang Jue told his players.

……

In the fifteenth minute of the game, Ibiza played a beautiful attacking combination.

Claude Makelele and Luka Modric combined to break the ball, and then Modric quickly played the ball to Deisler.

Deisler had a good vision and thought about what to do with the ball when he received it, and a diagonal ball directly tore apart Huelva's defence.

Ibiza's counterattack was very fast, and this sharp counterattack made Huelva very uncomfortable.

When Mata and Alba passed the ball in a row, and finally cut into the penalty area laterally, Huelva's defense had completely collapsed, and the last thing was simple, Alba sent a boccia cross, Lewandowski squeezed away defender Ameodor with his back to the goal, knocked the football down, and then Reuss, who received the ball, was unguarded at this time, in this case, the German 'little rocket' shot scored was not difficult at all, in the face of the small half of the empty goal, he gently pushed, and the football rolled into Huelva's goal......

"Beautiful! Pretty! Pretty! Beautiful goal! Ibiza is 1-0 up and that's not the point. Dolores said that although Ibiza is a promoted horse, it is not surprising to score Huelva's goal based on Ibiza's ranking and the strength he has shown before, but, the point is, "The point is, this goal is very beautiful, Ibiza's counterattack is very fast, the whole goal process, almost a pass, a few passes tore apart Huelva's defense, the home team seems to have no way to face this kind of attack." ”

David. Zamora was also full of praise for the goal, "Huelva's players were like they were hit in the head with a stick, they were dizzy, they didn't know how to defend at all, they could only passively follow, but the end result was - conceding the goal. ”

Fang Jue applauded on the sidelines, cheering on the team's goal.

He was happy to score so early.

If they take advantage of their chances, one more goal will make Huelva's determination to resist be greatly diminished.

Rao is Fang Jue is confident in the strength of his team, but he didn't expect the team's second goal to come so quickly.

……

Ten minutes later, Juan Mata's breakthrough led to a foul and Ibiza was awarded a set-piece.

Reuss's set-piece kicked into the penalty area, Lewandowski's header caused Huelva goalkeeper Luke to save the ball, Huelva defender Alvarez hurriedly cleared, Modric did not wait for the football to land outside the penalty area, but the first long-range shot was hit by the defender to change direction, Lewandowski grabbed before the defender cleared, stretched out his foot, and touched the football into the net.

Two to zero l! ”

"Two to zero! Robert Lewandowski, the Pole's seventh league goal, continues to lead the scorers' charts. "David. Zamora shouted.

After scoring five goals in nine minutes against Valencia in the fourth round of the league, Lewandowski surpassed Atletico Madrid's four goals to occupy the top scorer list.

"Ibiza's goal came again, in the face of Ibiza, Huelva almost had no way to fight back, you know, Ibiza is a promoted horse, eight to three Atletico Madrid, seven to two Valencia, the goal is like hemp, the league five rounds of games ranked third in the league, such a promoted horse, we have never seen it, this is all brought by this Chinese coach, he single-handedly created such an Ibiza...... The late President Alfonso of Ibiza must have been proud of his decision to choose a great and talented coach for Ibiza. Dolores spoke very quickly, like a machine gun.

……

Lewandowski and his teammates celebrated excitedly.

The Polish lad is happy with his current form, having moved from the Polish second division to Spain, helping the team to promotion from La Liga in his first season, winning the Copa del Rey and now showing his footballing talent in La Liga.

He didn't expect his career to go so well.

All because of that man.

"Coach, how am I doing?" Lewandowski said as he ran on the sidelines.

"Go, go, just one goal." Fang Jue disgusted his expression and kicked Lewandowski.

The Polish shooter laughed and returned to the dojo and shouted, "Guys, help me, the coach is not satisfied." ”
