Chapter 389: The Great 2008 (2nd Monthly)
"A key match in the 16th round of the league came to an end, Real Madrid beat Valencia 1-0 at home with Robben's assist for Higuain's scoring goal in the third minute of the game, and finally won a long-awaited victory after three consecutive defeats."
"In the 16th round of the 2008/2009 Spanish Primera League, a key match was fought at the Love Song Stadium, the second place Barcelona beat the fourth place Villarreal 2:1 away, Carney took the lead, Keita equalized, and Thierry Henry scored a stunner. The Catalan giants have won four in a row to remain firmly in second place. ”
'Now that Real Madrid and Barcelona have won, all eyes are on Ibiza, whose home game against Racing Santander is the latest game of the round.
'The highlight of the round of 16 was obviously the match between Ibiza and Racing Santander, and yes, the latest match was the finale. Spanish national television is broadcasting sports bulletins, beautiful anchor Sarah. Caponero showed a mouthful of white teeth, "Varela broke the deadlock for Racing Santander in the 51st minute of the game, after that, Ibiza coach Fang Jue successively replaced Aubameyang and Mata, and the home team once formed a siege on Racing Santander, until the 80th minute, the score was still 1:0 lead for Racing Santander......"
Just when everyone thought that Ibiza was forced to draw by Numancia in the last round, it finally began to go downhill, and at the same time the unbeaten golden body was about to be broken, Ibiza's young people broke out, Fang Jue's substitution was effective, substitute Mata broke through the side and crossed, Lewandowski pressed Garay to score with a header, and then in injury time by Lewandowski assisted Aubameyang to score, and scored two goals in the last ten minutes, Ibiza was full of firepower, after winning this game, In 16 rounds of La Liga, Ibiza have won 13 of them, drawn three and remain unbeaten, and are the only team in the top five leagues to remain unbeaten......
"Ibiza ended their 2008 campaign with a thrilling comeback victory. The year has been great and magical for Ibiza! In the first half of the year, they won the Copa del Rey as promoted to La Liga, and they were promoted to La Liga as the champions of La Liga, making it the club's first appearance in La Liga in 54 years...... Before the start of this season, Ibiza defeated Real Madrid over two legs and lifted the Spanish Super Cup, which is their third championship trophy this year, and after the start of the league, the team that played La Liga for the first time in 54 years shocked the whole of Spain, when the winter break came, they were ahead of second-placed Barcelona, at the top of the league table, the game record proved that they can be ranked at the top of the league, definitely not just luck, the first round of the league swept Atletico Madrid 8-3, Valencia was beaten 7-2 in the fourth round of the league, Barcelona was beaten 6-2 at home in the ninth round of the league, and Real Madrid was beaten 3-1 away in the tenth round of the league...... In fact, Ibiza has been at the top of the league table since the seventh round of the league, and since October 19, they have not given up the top spot, not even Real Madrid and Barcelona have been able to shake their position! ”
“…… It's been a great year for Ibiza, and for their head coach, Mr. Fang Jue, it's been a year for him to continue his great achievements, the young and handsome Chinese coach made his official debut in January two years ago, and it only took half a season for him to lead the vice-president of the La B B League all the way to the promotion play-offs, and finally from the promotion play-offs to the La B League, and then in the season of the La B League, he was promoted to La Liga as a league promotion horse and won the Spanish Copa del Rey. After that, the Spanish Super Cup is the winner, and now the 16-round unbeaten run, and the UEFA Cup is in the knockout rounds...... It's hard to imagine that such a young manager can achieve such outstanding results. ”
Whether they like Fang Jue or don't like his media, at this moment, they all sincerely or have to 'pretend to be sincere' to send him praise and praise him.
Not convinced?
Look at Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are crushed by his team!
While the media were singing the praises of Fang Jue, Fang Jue had already left Ibiza and was heading for Nyon, Switzerland, where UEFA is headquartered, to attend the draw for the knockout round of 32 of the 2008/2009 UEFA Cup.
Four days earlier, the UEFA Cup group stage had ended, with the twenty-four teams who had qualified from the group stage and the eight third-placed teams who had been 'relegated' from the UEFA Champions League group stage formed the round of 32 and entered the knockout stages of the UEFA Cup.
Ibiza had preferred to rotate in the league and were held to a draw by Racing Santander and secure a win over Saint-Etienne away in France to secure top spot in the UEFA Cup group in order to secure a good draw for the round of 32.
This is because the draw for the round of 32 is based on the rules that the team that wins the group stage will face the third team in each group, while the second team will face the third place in each group in the Champions League.
In this way, Ibiza finished first in Group G, not to mention the strength of the third-place teams drawn in the other groups, at least avoiding the third-place finish in the group of the eight powerful European Champions Leagues.
Take a look at the teams that have finished third in the eight groups from 'relegation' from the UEFA Champions Cup to the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup:
Ligue 1 giants Bordeaux, Bundesliga giants Werder Bremen, Ukrainian Premier League giants Shakhtar Donetsk, French giants Marseille, Danish Premier League team Aalborg, Serie A giants Fiorentina, Ukrainian Premier League giants Dynamo Kyiv, Russian Premier League giants Zenit St. Petersburg.
Kindness?
Aalborg?
Fang Jue sighed, it would be good if such a team could be drawn, which was even better than some of the third-place teams in other groups in the League Cup.
In fact, among the teams that are third in the UEFA Cup group, there are also some teams that should not be in the 'third tier', such as Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1, Olympiacos in the Greek League, Sampdoria in Serie A, Aston Villa in the Premier League, etc.
Hey?
