Before the start of the 2010-2011 Copa del Rey final, the current King of Spain, Juan Carlos, delivered a series of speeches from the podium, followed by a pre-match ceremony prepared by the organizers, the Mestalla Stadium.

When all the trivial things are done, the players of both sides follow the referee from the players' tunnel to the court.

Valencia and Barcelona basically represent the best of the Spanish teams and attract the attention of the whole world.

Of course, this statement is mixed.

Some media outlets have argued that Valencia and Barcelona represent the best of the Spanish teams, based on the back-to-back league and Champions League semi-finals that Valencia and Real Madrid will start this weekend.

But it is undeniable that Valencia is indeed the best team in world football right now.

As the players from both sides followed the referee out of the tunnel, the fans in the stands erupted in loud cheers, at this moment, there is no such thing as a team they like or hate, they are all contributing their energy to the team they support, hoping that they will contribute a classic game in the next 90 minutes.

Li Ai sat on Li Shiyin's lap, looking at the huge poster of Iro's shaking directly opposite the VIP seat with a pair of big bright eyes, and an inexplicable sense of excitement broke out in his heart, he knew...... That's his proud dad.

Similarly, Li Shiyin's eyes are also locked on Iro, and the success of these years has turned Iro's temperament upside down, and every move is so attractive......

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift, who is in Los Angeles, stops his blind day's work, turns on the TV, and switches the TV channel to the one that broadcasts the Copa del Rey final.

Eyes were cast on Iroh's face, which the camera locked, as if all of a sudden, the pressure on her body disappeared without a trace......

Before the start of this game, the live director captured Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and his assistant Faria appearing on the pitch, causing a sensation among many fans at the scene.

This scene also caused some discussion among the commentators in the commentary seats.

Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor said: "The most fundamental reason why Mourinho came to Mestalla is definitely to fear the opponents he faces this weekend and next week, Valencia. ”

Guest partner Andy Gray said: "There must be fear, Real Madrid can only pin on the next Champions League semi-finals when they basically miss the league title, Mourinho wants to continue his record of winning the title in the first season of coaching any team, he must be serious about Valencia, the most consistent performance in world football, so it is normal to look at the competitive state of Valencia players on site......

Martin Taylor tapped his head and said: "Yes, Real Madrid's stars are full of flavor, but Valencia is more aggressive as a whole, so Mourinho is the right choice to come on." ”

The competition ceremony passed slowly under the talk of the commentators in the on-site commentary seat......

In other words, the 2010-2011 Spanish Copa del Rey final is about to begin.

※※※

With the whistle of referee Marienko, the 2010-2011 Spanish Copa del Rey season officially began.

Messi kicked the football at his feet to Pedro and then quickly ran forward, and Barcelona's overall formation slowly spread out to organize the first wave of attacks.

Valencia did not press high in the first place of the game as before, but consciously collected and played, trying to avoid excessive physical exertion.

Standing on the sidelines, Pep Guardiola's eyes lit up, and he had already guessed that tonight's Copa del Rey final might actually be a play.

Valencia will be different from Barcelona in that they will face a formidable Real Madrid side at the weekend, while Barcelona's league opponents are Mallorca, who will easily beat them in the Champions League semi-finals in midweek if they play properly.

Therefore, Barcelona's attack is going very well, they stick to their familiar Tiki-Taka tactical ideas, use the width of the pitch to dispatch Valencia's defensive strength when attacking, and implement high pressing in the process of switching from attack to defense to prevent Valencia's most threatening quick counterattack.

Barcelona's tactical thinking is very unified, and the implementation is naturally twice the result with half the effort, and the desire to move forward is particularly strong, and there is a feeling of anti-guest-oriented.

And Valencia, which was a little closed at the beginning, seemed a little caught off guard.

He Wei in the commentary seat is keenly aware of Valencia's problems: "Valencia seems to be very different from the past, and I can't see anything on the defensive end, but it seems to be a bit sluggish from defense to attack, and I can't get the ball out quickly...... Barcelona, on the other hand, has changed its previous stable stance and is very proactive. ”

Valencia manager Carlo Ancelotti got up from the dugout and strolled to the edge of his technical command zone after identifying the problem.

However, at this moment, Iniesta suddenly accelerated on the left flank, broke through Cazorla and Juan Mata in succession, and then sent the ball to the defensive gap between Benatia and Azpilicueta with the arch of his right foot.

Javi Martinez subconsciously fell to the ground and stretched out his foot to destroy the ball, but he was still half a beat slower.

Iniesta's through ball went straight through the entire Valencia backline!

"Whoa!"

Immediately afterwards, the Barcelona fans who came to the scene suddenly erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.

Under the chanting of the Barcelona fans, Messi slammed the ball into the box and at the same time used his super fast foot frequency to grab the chasing Azpilicueta to pass the ball.

In the face of Benatia's falling tackle, Messi cleverly buckled to the left, dodged the space, and kicked the ball to the far corner with his left foot, and goalkeeper Wang Xiaolei couldn't reach it.

Messi's goal brought a certain balance of cheers and boos at the Mestalla Stadium.

"Lionel Messi opened the scoring for Barcelona in the sixth minute of the game, which is a good sign because most people thought Valencia would win the game before the game, and now Messi's goal tells these people that the final result cannot be determined before the game!!"

The local narrator in Barcelona said hoarsely.

"It seems that Pep Guardiola's strategy of choosing to be the opposite is very correct, which shows us that a team of kings, against Valencia should play their own style, and the opening goal is the best reaction......

Messi was so excited after the goal that he ran to the stands where Barcelona fans gathered and shook his fist at them to encourage more fans to join in the cheering procession.

Although the Copa del Rey final was held at the Mestalla, the energy of the Barcelona fans was stronger than that of the Valencian fans who booed the whole time.

Then they chanted the slogan 'Messi, Messi, Messi', which became a different scenery in this Copa del Rey final.

Barcelona fans responded positively to Messi's call, which further suppressed the Valencia fans, whose boos were gradually decreasing.

Indirectly, the cheers of the Barcelona fans became louder.

It sounds like you're in the center of a volcanic eruption, you can't hear what the person opposite you is saying at all, and there's only buzzing noise in your ears......

Barcelona fans are well aware of what Messi's goal means, and if they can win this game, they will win the Copa del Rey this season.

It could even put pressure on Valencia to lose to Real Madrid in the league at the weekend, closing the gap on each other and returning to the league title again......

※※※

After Messi's goal, Pep Guardiola raised his arms and shouted in his technical command area, looking very happy, before turning to hug his assistant Vilanova.

The suggestion to take the preemptive action in this game came from his assistant Vilanova, and if he won the game, then the biggest contributor would be Villanova......

Subsequently, the on-site director gave the camera to Valencia coach Carlo Ancelotti.

However, Ancelotti's expression did not change, and he still had a graceful expression, with his hands in his trouser pockets and his mouth munching gum mechanically, as if this game had nothing to do with him.

In fact, Ancelotti had the idea of conceding the first goal at home before the game, and also had a record after conceding a goal.

His Valencia team has been in excellent form lately, winning thirteen games in a row since the draw at the beginning of the year, with Barcelona and Real Madrid casually taking off, giving them the illusion that they can't find an opponent in this world.

Therefore, Ancelotti has sufficient mental preparation for the Copa del Rey final, and just used this crucial Copa del Rey final to bring the players' normal psychology back to reality, letting them know that no opponent can be underestimated, especially Barcelona and Real Madrid, which are not much different in strength......

Against a team of this level, there is no room for relaxation.

However, if you want to turn the current situation around in a short period of time, you still need to see the performance of captain Iro.

David Villa has grown with age, and although his shooting skills have improved, his running ability has decreased significantly, and his speed and explosiveness are not as fast as when he was younger.

David Silva has attracted the attention of Barcelona's defenders because of a series of pre-match remarks, and it is difficult for him to play at his normal level.

Juan Mata was in good form for this game, but he lacked cover.

Barcelona's celebrations lasted almost half a minute, and it is estimated that the celebrations would have lasted longer had it not been for the intervention of referee Marienco.

The Valencia fans in the stands booed Barcelona's wanton celebration at the stadium.

It's just that this level of boos is of no use to the seasoned Barcelona players......

It is worth mentioning that Messi, who scored the opening scoring, consciously waved his fist in the direction of the Valencia fan stand when he returned to his own half.

Of course, he was responded to by huge boos......
