Chapter 238: A Strong Team That Really Has the Style of a Wealthy Family
Mirandés reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey is a miracle in itself, and they have done so much before that. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
As a lower-division team, Mirandés must start the Copa del Rey campaign from the first round.
In the first round, Mirandés faced the team in the same group in La B (La B is divided into 4 groups of 20 teams each) - Amorebieta from the Basque Country, who won 1-0 away and managed to advance to the next round.
In the second round, Mirandés will face another opponent in Group B of La Liga, Lynnes from Andalusia, who won comfortably 3-1 at home to advance to the third round.
In the third round, Mirandés met a lower level Lorgenis, and they comfortably sent home the Andalusian team 3-1 to advance to the round of 32.
However, with the addition of La Liga teams in the round of 32, the challenge for Mirandés is suddenly much greater, after all, they have eliminated teams of the same class or even lower divisions. And according to the Copa del Rey, they need to face a team that plays in Europe, which makes it even more difficult for them to qualify.
However, they were fortunate to face Villarreal, who were on the verge of a league and European football this season.
The Yellow Submarines, under the leadership of Garrido, have been declining this season due to injuries, and their morale and morale have been unstable.
In the first leg between the two sides, Mirandés were quick to head home from a cross from a team-mate, but they were levelled by Borja Barreiro's long-range strike in the closing stages of the match. 1-1 at home against La Liga teams two levels above him, Mirandés' path to promotion is in jeopardy. However, in the Stadium of Love Songs, facing Villarreal, Mirandés defeated the opponent 2-0 with Infante's brace to advance to the round of 16.
After this game, Villarreal coach Garrido also announced his resignation.
In the last-16 draw, they faced La Liga-ridden Racing Santander, and under Said's chaotic management, the Cantabrian club's road to relegation this season looked tougher than any previous year, so they didn't have much of the heart to fight for the Copa del Rey.
In the first leg at home, Mirandés retreated from Santander with a pass and a shot from Infante, and in the second round they equalised with an Infante goal from Munitis who scored first, completely extinguishing the Cantabrians' hopes of a comeback.
In the final two legs, Mirandés eliminated their opponents 3-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey for the first time in history.
The miracle continues.
After crossing Racing Santander, Mirandés welcomed Espanyol, who has been in good form this season, and under Mauricio Pochettino, the Spaniard has performed very well in La Liga and is firmly at the top of the La Liga table.
However, in Corneira's first leg, Mirandés left the Spaniard in a cold sweat.
Two goals from Alevin and Infante put the Spaniards in a desperate situation, and the Spaniards, who were 2-0 down, looked to be on the verge of causing a big upset at home, but in the final five minutes, the tenacious Spaniards staged an even more incredible scene, with goals from Weiss, Rui Font and Berdou putting the suspense of promotion to the second leg.
After returning to home, Mirandés did not have much of an advantage, and this time it was the Spaniards who pushed them into a corner, with Rui Fonte's second-half goal stretching the aggregate to 4-2, which also meant that Mirandés needed to score two goals in a row for the remainder of the game to progress.
However, Mirandés did not give in and they replicated the Spaniard's feat in the first leg.
First, they recovered a goal from a long-range shot from Infante, and then in the final minute of stoppage time, Caneda headed in from Infante's free-kick cross.
When the comeback came, the 6,000-seat Stade Aduwa went into a frenzy, with Mirandés beating the Spaniards in the final minute to knock out the Cockain Army from the Copa del Rey and make history by reaching the last four of the Copa del Rey.
After the game, almost the entire stadium rushed to the stadium to celebrate the historic victory with the Mirandés players.
Reaching the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey may not be a big deal for La Liga powerhouses, but for Mirandez, it was a miraculous moment that could be looked back on for decades, if not centuries.
Now Mirandés meets Atletico Madrid.
Many people think that Mirandés are lucky, and after completing a miracle to reach the last four of the Copa del Rey, it is impossible for them to continue to make it to the final, and it is better to stop there, and meet Atletico Madrid will allow them to generate the most revenue for the club in the Copa del Rey.
The Mirandés players are also happy to meet Atletico Madrid, and they also hope to reach the final of the Copa del Rey, but that is very unrealistic, miracles can be made, but it is a complete pipe dream to dream of reaching the final without the strength to match.
Facing Atletico Madrid, the hottest side in La Liga, in the semi-finals, will be able to give their matches the highest ratings, which is a good opportunity for the Mirandés team and all the Mirandés players.
Many of the Mirandés players are looking forward to performing against Atletico Madrid, and then maybe they will be able to be noticed by the big clubs and move to the big balls to become more famous players.
Many players are also looking forward to performing at Wansheng's moment.
Wansheng's reputation for cultivating players is resounding throughout Europe.
If you can perform in front of Wansheng and be favored by Wansheng to enter Atletico Madrid, it almost directly means that the future is infinitely bright.
Wan Sheng also knows a little about the Copa del Rey semi-final opponents.
With the league and Copa del Rey semi-finals being played on two consecutive days, the Atletico Madrid coaching staff had to start thinking about the Copa del Rey semi-final opponents before the match against Osasuna.
Mirandez.
It's a very unfamiliar name.
However, from many Spanish media reports, we can still know that it is a low-level team that has created miracles.
They can't even be called a 'professional team'.
For example, Mirandés' number one star Infante, the soon-to-be-32-year-old full-back is the heart of Mirandez's attack, and in the games against Villarreal, Racing Santander and Espanyol, Infante scored two goals and provided two assists in each game, almost single-handedly taking the team to the last four of the Copa del Rey and helping Mirandés make club history.
But Infante is not a professional footballer, his main job is actually a bank clerk.
A bank clerk who represented the team scored two goals in each of the top flights, Racing de Santander and Espanyol, as well as two assists...... I can't imagine it!
That's a miracle!
However, Wan Sheng didn't take it to heart, and when the two teams officially started playing, he didn't care about it.
Unlike other coaches, Wansheng has a football training master system, he can see the overall ability evaluation of each player in Mirandés through the 'Eye of Strength Evaluation', and through the ability evaluation of each player, he clearly knows that Mirandés is indeed a low-level league team, even their number one star Infante, the overall strength evaluation value is only '72'.
Such a team...... How did they beat Villarreal, Racing Santander and Espanyol?
Wansheng felt very interesting.
It was really a miracle, and he knew why it was so difficult for these teams to be relegated. But that can't happen to Atletico Madrid.
Ahead of the match, some regional media in the province of Burgos in the Castilla y León region were hoping that Mirandés would continue to work a miracle and beat Atletico Madrid to reach the Copa del Rey final.
Many people say it's impossible, but Mirandés has worked miracles before. Some people feel that it is not a big deal if they continue to work miracles.
But Atletico Madrid is different from other teams, the key is that Atletico Madrid's 'b-tf' system tactics are very rigorous, as long as the opponent's strength is not good, even if the Atletico Madrid players are not in good shape, the opponent is unlikely to play an advantage at all, in other words, Atletico Madrid is the best at playing against weak teams, as long as the opponent is weak, then the 'b-tf' system tactics can expand the advantage in strength.
That's the way it is now.
Mirandés couldn't score half the pitch at all, and it's not an exaggeration to say that they couldn't get out of the box.
At the beginning of the game, some of the Mirandés players wanted to keep working hard and help the team continue to work wonders, and it soon became clear that they were against a different opponent than before.
No matter how strong the previous opponent was, at least leave Mirandés a chance.
As long as you work hard and run hard, the team can always play one or two waves of attack or counterattack, and now when they get the ball, they have to face the opponent's front court pressing, that kind of tight pressing is very professional, they have a hard time controlling the ball in their own half.
This absolute gap, the absolute suppression, makes the Mirandés players feel suffocated. They kind of understand why Atletico Madrid has the ability to beat Real Madrid and Barcelona and sit at the top of the league.
The La Liga teams they encountered before could only be called 'pseudo-strong teams' in front of the lower league teams, and the current opponent, Atletico Madrid, is a real strong team, a strong team with a giant style.
Mirandés didn't stand a chance. (To be continued.) )
