Chapter 573: Copa del Rey Final
After the relationship between Lu Wenbin and Kate became an unmarried couple, both parents were naturally very happy and hoped that the two would get married as soon as possible.
However, it is more difficult to discuss and discuss, and this year is more difficult.
Because Lu Wenbin not only has to participate in the world preliminaries of the national team, but also leads the national Olympic team to participate in the London Olympics.
In the case that there is no pursuit in club competitions, these two national team competitions can be regarded as Lu Wenbin's life pursuit and goal now, and he is careless.
Therefore, after careful deliberation with the elders of the two sides, Lu Wenbin and Kate, it is better not to hold the wedding this year for the time being, and then talk about it next year.
As for the marriage certificate, it is also close to getting married, otherwise it is not beautiful to just get the certificate and not get married.
……
Amid media and fans around the world reporting on Lu Wenbin's marriage proposal, Real Madrid ushered in their last game of the season.
On May 25, 2012, the 2011/2012 Copa del Rey final was played at the Calderón Stadium, home of Atletico Madrid, between Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao.
This is the home stadium of Real Madrid's sworn rival Atletico Madrid, and those Atletico fans who bought tickets naturally booed Real Madrid.
Fortunately, Real Madrid itself is also in the city of Madrid, and it is more convenient for Real Madrid fans to buy tickets.
In the end, it's basically Real Madrid fans who make up the half, Atletico Madrid fans plus Athletic Bilbao fans who make up the other half.
At 9 p.m., in front of countless spectators on site and in front of television, the final officially began, and Real Madrid began to challenge for their fourth title of the season and the first treble in the club's history.
As mentioned earlier, many teams in La Liga, even in the face of the powerful Real Madrid and Barcelona, even if they know that the attack will die, they are fearless and insist on attacking.
This is characteristic of the entire league in La Liga.
Not to mention a team of pure Basque origin like Athletic Bilbao.
In the case that Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid still sent a 4231 defensive counterattack formation with the world's No. 1 overall strength, Athletic Bilbao still played a 433 offensive formation.
Just before the game, the right to kick off was also taken away by Athletic Bilbao.
So, from the first minute of the game, Athletic Bilbao pressed forward in the whole formation and launched an attack on Real Madrid's half.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, shrank their defense and played their defensive counter-attacks.
In the 3rd minute, Athletic Bilbao almost scored.
Winger Munia's ball broke through Ramos's defense and then crossed low, and center forward Llorent followed up in the middle and pressed Pepe to grab the first point and shake his head at the goal.
Thankfully, Casillas was in a good position and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one palm.
The ensuing corner was snatched by Khedira to the first point and cleared out of the penalty area, leaving no threat.
In the 7th minute, Athletic Bilbao had another chance to shoot, midfielder Martinez cut diagonally inside after breaking down the wing, dribbled horizontally outside the corner of the big penalty zone, dodged the gap and fired a long-range shot into the far corner of the goal.
Unfortunately, the ball was slightly off the goal and flew out of the bottom line against the far post, causing a sigh from the Atletico Madrid and Biba fans at the scene.
Real Madrid had a chance to counter-attack in the fifth minute, but Xavi Alonso's dribble was cut off by midfielder De Marcos just past the halfway line and did not threaten the front of the field.
The two sides went back and forth, you attacked and defended, and the game was quite lively, but there was no goal.
It wasn't until the 13th minute that the first goal finally came out.
However, it was not the expected Real Madrid or the much-anticipated Lu Wenbin who scored the goal, but Carvalho, and the goal was his own goal.
In the 13th minute, Athletic Bilbao won a free kick from the edge of the field, and the penalty taker did not shoot directly on goal, but crossed with his feet, and the players of both sides fought for the top in the penalty area.
As a result, although Carvalho grabbed the ball, he did not go to the part he wanted to top under the interference of the opposing center Llorente, but instead pushed the ball into his own goal, and Casillas tried his best but could not save the own goal.
Athletic Bilbao gave Real Madrid a 1-0 lead in the final of the Copa del Rey thanks to an own goal by Carvalho.
The Biba fans and Atletico Madrid fans in the stands immediately let out enthusiastic cheers, the Biba fans were truly happy, and the Atletico Madrid fans were gloating.
There was even a commentator who commented very unexpectedly: "Real Madrid, who swept all opponents in La Liga and the Champions League, was actually led 1-0 by Athletic Bilbao in the Copa del Rey final, and it was Carvalho's own goal." Could it be that Athletic Bilbao's Copa del Rey attributes are really better than Real Madrid, who are destined not to win the treble for the first time in their club's history? ”
Real Madrid's players were also quite surprised, thinking that even Bayern Munich lost to them, and Barcelona was killed by them six times in the season, and this final should be quite easy to win.
I didn't expect them to be behind the score now.
Carvalho, in particular, who scored an own goal, was frustrated and listless.
At this time, Lu Wenbin stood up and patted Carvalho's shoulder to encourage his teammates: "It's just a ball, believe me, let's chase it back!" ”
Although it is just a simple sentence, the effect is different when it comes out of the mouth of Lu Wenbin, who has the aura of a senior leader.
Everyone put away the frustration in their hearts and started the game again.
Real Madrid's strength is indeed a big cut above Athletic Bilbao, although Athletic Bilbao scored an own goal by luck to take a 1-0 lead, but Real Madrid did not take long to equalize the score under the leadership of Lu Wenbin.
Just five minutes after Carvalho scored that own goal, Real Madrid had a great counter-attack opportunity in the 18th minute.
Ramos cut off the opponent's ball in the backfield and handed the ball to Lu Wenbin in the middle, Lu Wenbin instantly saw the holes in the opponent's back line with his keen vision before taking the ball, and did not stop the ball after receiving Ramos's pass, and directly broke through the back line of Athletic Bilbao with a long ball on the ground, forming a straight pass.
However, Benzema started a little slowly and did not form a tacit understanding.
Although he saw Lu Wenbin pass the ball and turned around to grab the ball before Biba's defender Ekza, he couldn't accelerate with the ball to form a single knife, and stumbled towards Athletic Bilbao's forbidden area under Ekza's pulling interference.
Lu Wenbin in the back did not stand to watch Benzema's performance after completing a pass, but quickly stepped forward to respond, although there was a back and a central defender of Biba close to the defense, but Lu Wenbin, who sprinted with all his strength without the ball, left the two behind him after a while.
By the time Benzema and Ekza were entangled and about to rush to the forbidden zone, Lu Wenbin was about to run to the same position as the two, and full-back Ortenezze had to leave Ronaldo behind and run to the middle to defend Lu Wenbin.
But Lu Wenbin didn't wait for full-back Ortenetter to get into place, shouting at Benzema before inserting into the no-go zone.
Benzema understood, carried Ekza's entanglement in the run, and passed the ball to the direction of Lu Wenbin's forward insertion in the forbidden area, giving a certain amount of advance.
Seeing Benzema's pass, goalkeeper Ilesos chose to go out.
However, Lu Wenbin is faster than both Ilesos and Orteneze.
Before the two touched the ball, Lu Wenbin had already run to the point, and the ball burst into the ball without stopping, and the ball passed under the crotch of the attacking Elisos and spied into the goal behind him.
Ilesos sat down, but didn't have time to block the ball.
Lu Wenbin scored the first goal of the foreign cup match to equalize for Real Madrid, making it 1-1.
