Gabi has always had a habitual movement.

That is, before he plays, he always draws a cross on his chest.

This is an action that many religious players will have, most Spaniards believe in Catholicism, and Gabi is no exception, so his action is not unusual, but Gabi actually has a habit that others have not noticed, that is, he always draws a cross when waiting for the entrance of the field, that is, when he is waiting for the referee to enter the stadium.

Gabi's routine didn't have any special significance, just because he liked the feeling at that time. For Gabi, that brief moment, though a bit like the calm before the storm, was the perfect moment for him to adjust his mindset.

Now, it's that time again.

The light in the players' tunnel was not very sufficient, and the outside light shone in through the small exit, reflecting on the faces of the players of the two teams who were waiting to enter the stadium at this time, with different expressions.

Just as Gabby was silently drawing the cross, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a gaze next to him, and he turned his head to see that it happened to meet Harvey's gaze.

Gabi's brow furrowed imperceptibly.

The only red card Gabi ate this season was given by Xavi, although he didn't eat that card wrongfully, but after all, he still had some guilt in his heart about the person in front of him. What Gabby didn't expect was that after making eye contact, Harvey smiled at him kindly.

Gabi's brow furrowed quickly, and he smiled.

Of course, it wasn't a grudge, and Gabi wasn't arrogant enough to think Xavi's gesture was due to the red card, so it was just a pre-match greeting.

Sure enough, both of them remained silent for the rest of the day, and then, looking intently ahead.

Finally, a voice came from ahead that they had been waiting for a long time.

Gentlemen, come in.

"CCTV, CCTV, good morning. You are welcome to watch the Copa del Rey final in Spain in the 0809 season, against two teams are Barcelona and Malaga, and now the players from both sides have entered the field......" At this time, in China, countless Chinese fans who stayed up late to watch the game finally heard the opening words of the familiar live broadcast of the game on CCTV.

The match, which was held at 9:30 p.m. local time in Spain, was replaced by the time in China at 3:30 a.m. But even so, the game still attracted countless football lovers to stay up late to watch the game.

Perhaps knowing what Chinese fans care about most, the live footage of the game quickly cut to the sidelines.

At this time, Lin Sen did not sit in the coach's box as usual, but stood on the sidelines from the moment he walked out of the passage, just watching the two teams perform some necessary ceremonies before the game, watching the players of the two teams shake hands in a beautiful manner, and then watching the captains on both sides, Games and Puyol, pick sides under the auspices of the referee......

No one knew what was going on in Lin Sen's mind at this time, except for the players on the field in Malaga.

It is said that there is no good game in the tournament, this sentence is actually not conclusive, more than that, it is just describing a mentality, a mentality common to the two teams playing against each other in the tournament, that is, caution, because no one wants to make a mistake at the last moment and become a thousand hatreds. The Copa del Rey final is certainly a big game for Malaga, but Linson isn't sure if it's a big game for Barcelona.

First of all, he is most sure that if the game is played according to the normal routine, the probability of Malaga winning will definitely not exceed 30%.

One percent comes from defense, one percent comes from physical fitness, and another percent comes from luck.

The picking of sides was carried out very quickly, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, the captains on both sides had already finished shaking hands with the referee, then exchanged team flags and shook hands with each other......

Lin Sen suddenly found himself a little nervous, and he put his two hands in his pockets to avoid letting other people see that his hands were trembling slightly.

It was Malaga who kicked off first.

Standing at the kick-off waiting for the referee to start the whistle were Reus and Lewandowski, while on the edge near the centre circle stood Gundogan.

Soon, as the referee's doctor whistled, the entire Calderón stadium erupted in a burst of enthusiastic cheers, and the game began.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

“…… Wearing the blue and white shirt on either side was Malaga, who attacked from left to right in the first half, while Barcelona wore their familiar red and blue striped shirt. Let's first introduce the starters on both sides, on the Barcelona side, Guardiola sent his strongest lineup on paper in this game, Henry, Eto'o, Messi in the front trident, midfielders Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets partnered, and the back line from left to right were Abidal, Pique, Puyol, Alves, ......"

At the beginning of the game, according to the usual routine, the commentators had to introduce the starting lineups on both sides first, and today's commentator He Tian was no exception. If you are a familiar commentator in La Liga, usually at this time, as long as you have seen the list before, you can basically come casually, but this time He Tian is obviously a little unsure about Malaga's starters, so when he was about to finish reading the Barcelona side of the list, his eyes subconsciously wanted to take a look at Malaga's squad again.

And his subconscious action made him miss a goal, and Cao Yun, the commentator who was sitting next to him and hadn't even had time to introduce him, interrupted him.

"Hey! Opportunity!! Shot? …… The ball went in!! The ball actually went in! Cao Yun's voice was full of disbelief, "It's unbelievable, less than a minute into the game, Malaga scored, a shocking shot from Reus, Valdés was too far forward......"

Cao Yun probably didn't even expect that the first time he spoke, he would actually speak in such a form.

When a somewhat stunned He Ping turned his gaze to the big screen, he had already seen Reus rush to the corner flag area and raise his hands in the air, receiving the cheers of the Malaga fans in the South Stand......

"The score became 1-0! It was an unexpected start, with drama from the start, with Reuss helping Málaga take a 1-0 lead less than a minute into the game, and now, let's take a look at the slow-motion replay...... "He Tian, who couldn't say how depressed or excited he was, took over the game right away.

At this time, the slow motion is replayed from the moment the center circle kicks off at the beginning of the game.

As soon as the whistle blew, Reus dialed the ball to Lewandowski, and then he ran towards his position in the game - the left wing as usual, at the same time, Barcelona's entire formation pressed forward at the same time, which is Barcelona's usual routine, the first time to create a numerical advantage in the front, the arrow figure Eto'o directly pressed Lewandowski with the ball, only to see the Pole slightly control the ball and make a move to try to get past Eto'o.

At this point, the ball stayed at Lewandowski's feet for less than ten seconds.

Then, just as Eto'o was about to stick to Lewandowski, Lewandowski passed the ball back to Gundogan, who was closest to him.

Gundogan did not dribble the ball, but as if he was going to do a one-two collision with Lewandowski, as soon as he touched the ball, he kicked the ball out again. Of course, he didn't really want to drink Lewandowski to cooperate, so his kick was very strong.

The ball flew straight into the hinterland on the right side of Barcelona.

He Tian, it was at this time that the gaze was shifted. Because in his opinion, Gundogan's goal is mostly handed over to Barcelona. Because there, is the defense area of Alves. But what He Tian didn't expect was that at this time, the Brazilian defender was not in the defensive zone, because he pressed forward with the team's entire formation.

Then, Royce, who didn't know when he suddenly started at high speed, suddenly became the closest player to the point where the ball landed.

When the ball fell, the time of the game was in the twelfth second.

According to the plan, Royce should control the ball at this time, or continue to push to the side or cut the ball horizontally into the middle, and then complete the shot himself or wait for his teammates to respond, but when the ball fell, Royce made a shocking move: shoot vigorously with the outside of the instep!

A powerful shot from 40 meters from the goal!

It's too urgent!

It was everyone's knee-jerk reaction when they saw Reuss shoot, but soon, when people turned their eyes to the goal, they immediately understood that Reuss's shot was not just a game of luck, because Barcelona's goalkeeper Valdés was honestly in front of goal, but was already out of the small penalty area, even close to the edge of the big penalty line.

The ball flew from Reuss' feet in a high toss line as a meteor until it reached its highest point before it suddenly took a sharp turn and crashed towards the goal.

Deciduous balls!

Valdés, who was watching the ball and retreating quickly, didn't have time to make a save, and the ball crashed into the goal in disbelief on his own.

At this time, the time of the game is frozen in the fifteenth second!

The moment the ball flew into the net, the air over Calderón seemed to freeze for a moment, and then a tsunami-like cheer spread from the South Stand to the entire stadium.

Before Mrs. Cruz could even react, she saw her wife jump up from her seat like a child, and then scream and clap her hands desperately, and then the sound of various voices mixed together had completely taken over her whole world.

Barr, who was sitting in the west stands, was a little distracted, and his eyes subconsciously moved away from Reus, who scored the goal, and then shifted to the figure on the sidelines.

I saw that he still had one hand in his pocket, and the other hand had been clenched into a fist, and he couldn't see any expression when he lowered his head.

But at this point, it seemed that the whole world could hear him.
