Chapter 677: Championship Machine
Finals are usually not exciting.
Because the players are so nervous, in that fiery atmosphere, there are very few players who don't have psychological fluctuations. And people's physical movements often change because of a small psychological effect, which affects the performance on the court.
But the final was exciting!
Because it's about a championship, because it's a battle between two teams that do their best.
Although one side is the extremely powerful Barcelona, and the other side is the very weak and low-key Getafe, but this Copa del Rey final still aroused the expectations of countless fans and the media.
Outside the Mestalla stadium, more than 10,000 Barcelona fans gathered, chanting the names of Giovan or Ronaldo, and shouting wildly.
If the fans who don't get tickets outside the stadium are still like this, then the fans who watch the game inside the stadium will be even more excited.
Before the game even started, the entire Mestalla stadium was like a big pot of boiling water, making a splash of boiling water and rising mist - it was the murderous aura of the fans of both sides fighting for the championship!
The fans on both sides of the stage were shouting fiercely, as if whichever side had a louder voice, the more likely the team would win.
However, the players on both sides on the field are very friendly, and the huge gap in the strength of the two teams makes this game not too strong, and both sides do not play under much pressure.
The game played in such a friendly atmosphere, but the game was a game after all, and immediately after the game began, the players of both sides began to fight in the midfield, sweeping away the veil of warmth and affection.
The whole first half was very fierce. Barcelona fielded a 4-3-3 absolute main line-up for this game, except that Ibrahimovic was put on the bench and Ronaldo made his debut.
Getafe, on the other hand, lined up in a 4-4-2 formation. Goalkeeper Luiz. Garcia, from left to right at the back are Conterra, Berenguer, Alexis and Paredes, and in midfield Dorado, Celestini, Cottelo and Castro. The double strikers are Maris and Pajon.
Barcelona were in the ascendancy after the opening kick, with Cristiano Ronaldo's shot from outside the box hitting the post, but the defensive-minded Getafe took the lead thanks to a set-piece. Dorado whipped in a corner that went around all the players in the middle of the box and midfielder Cottelo headed in at the back post to open the scoring.
At the final venue, Getafe actually led the powerful Barcelona!
In the stands. Immediately, there was a tsunami of cheers. Getafe fans were carried away with excitement, but Barcelona were not very worried.
Isn't it just a goal behind, is it possible that the little Getafe can still beat Barcelona?
In the ensuing game, Barcelona launched a tidal attack, but the whole Getafe team played exceptionally well in this game, and Barcelona were not very lucky in the first half, with Ballack, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi all missing excellent goals.
Ronaldo's movement on the pitch also looked a little unmotivated, although Ronaldo poked Pirlo's through ball into the back of the net just before half-time. The linesman had already raised the flag in advance and was offside. The goal is nullified.
There were no substitutions at half-time, and Getafe did play well in the first half, but that was based on the fact that their players ran more than Barcelona.
This kind of desperate style of play may be effective for a while, but as the game is exhausted, the fitness of the Getafe players will be drastically reduced, and it will be foolish for them to resist Barcelona's attack.
"They've got a lot of troops in midfield, so let's not be too long with them in midfield, and although we're used to pushing in midfield, we're also used to attacking from both flanks! They don't have much means to attack, except for a few midfielders who are left with Dorado's wing assists, Messi is a little more active in the second half, use the attack to suppress him, so that he does not dare to press the attack! ”
After the adjustment of the midfield, Barcelona continued to launch a tidal wave of attacks in the second half, they avoided the opponent's crazy interception of the middle, and began to attack more from the wings, Getafe wanted to make the defense on the side also become tougher, so they had to expand the defensive area, and the defensive area expanded, and the holes naturally increased.
Ronaldo, who looked a little lazy in the first half, also became active in the second half, and his constant pulling out of the box caused a lot of problems for the opposition defenders.
Of course, the most important thing is that in addition to the tacit cooperation between these strikers in Barcelona, their individual abilities are also excellent, and they can almost have no opponents in one-on-one situations.
In the 55th minute, Barcelona's persevering attack finally equalized, Pirlo inserted the ball on the right side, and then suddenly sent an extremely hidden short pass, after the insertion of Ballack received the ball and fell near the bottom line to cross, the ball fell past the defenders in the penalty area and fell, Ronaldo got rid of Berenguer at the back point and headed the ball into the empty goal three meters in front of the goal, 1:1!
"Keep attacking!"
Qiao Wanxian commanded quietly from the field.
As Giovan expected, Getafe was able to fend off Barcelona's attack at the beginning because they directly put all their strength together, a bit of a thirst quenching their thirst, and as time went on, their toxicity began to kick in.
Just seven minutes later, Barcelona were on the scoreline.
This time it was Xavi, he took the ball in the backfield and sent a beautiful long pass over the top, the ball accurately fell to the feet of Messi who was inserted into the penalty area in the back row, Messi did not stop the ball, but directly took his left foot volley in the run, the ball flew into the lower left corner of the goal like a cannonball, although the goalkeeper Garcia's hand touched the ball, but still could not prevent the ball from going into the net!
More than 10,000 Barcelona fans in the stands cheered loudly.
Although they are used to Barcelona winning time and time again, falling behind always makes them feel a little awkward, especially in such an important final.
Now, Barcelona have managed to overtake the scoreline and they seem to have seen the moment when the Kings will present the trophy to the team!
"Keep attacking, give me a hard beating!"
Qiao Wanxian stood up and yelled at the players who were celebrating wildly in the field.
A team like Getafe can still fall behind for a while, which makes Qiao Wanxian a little unhappy, and he has to teach the other party a lesson.
On the other side, Getafe made a substitution, replacing Dorado with the more defensive Alberto, and it seemed that he had given up the game and began to recycle the defense across the board.
The two sides began to be entangled in the midfield, and Qiao Wanxian also began to change players frequently, Van Bommel replaced Ronaldo, Barcelona became a four-midfielder, continued to strengthen the team's ability to fight in the midfield, and the front court relied on Ronaldo and Messi's super personal ability to make breakthroughs.
In the 78th minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo was tripped by Alberto, who came on as a substitute in front of the game, and Barcelona won a direct free kick 26 meters from the goal.
Cristiano. Ronaldo stood in front of the ball.
The fans held their breath, and the five-man wall blocked the side of the penalty area tightly, and Ronaldo only had the goal in his eyes.
The referee's whistle sounded, Ronaldo began to run, raised his feet, and then heard a "bang"!
This sound seems to have made all Getafe fans suffer a slap in their hearts!
A powerful tomahawk slam!
The ball has landed in the elevator and is falling in a straight line!
Garcia immediately moved two steps sideways, then jumped up quickly and reached out to pounce on the flying ball!
However......
"Huh!"
An incomparably beautiful sound sounded, and the net shook violently!
“goooooooooooooooooooooal! Cristiano. Ronaldo! Elevator ball, his trademark elevator ball shot, Getafe goalkeeper Luis. There's nothing Garcia can do about it, he can't stop Cristiano. Ronaldo's goal, the Barcelona title is in sight! ”
After the goal, Ronaldo yelled and ran to the sidelines, but he was hugged by Pirlo from behind after a few steps, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
With the score at 3-1 and ten minutes remaining, everyone knew it was a matter of time before Barcelona became the Copa del Rey champion this season!
The Copa del Rey organising committee has already begun preparations for Barcelona's award, but they would be mistaken to think the score would be 3-1.
Barcelona's offensive has just begun!
In the 81st minute of the game, Messi broke through and passed the ball in an inverted triangle, Ballack won the ball directly at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and the ball hit the crossbar and flew out of the bottom line.
Ballack was annoyed, but only three minutes later, Ronaldo on the other side went down to the bottom and passed the ball in an inverted triangle, almost the same way, and Ballack appeared in that position again and shot angrily!
The ball hangs in the top right corner of the goal, dead corner!
The score is 4:1!
The psychological defence of the Getafe players, who completely missed out on the title, has completely collapsed, and despite the manager's loud shouts on the sidelines and the constant deployment of troops, it still cannot change the fact that the team is collapsing.
In the 87th minute of the game, captain Puyol drew a perfect end to the Copa del Rey final with a header.
He received Xavi's corner and a beautiful leap to the top sealed the score.
5:1, Barcelona became the champion of the 06-07 Spanish Copa del Rey season!
When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Mestalla stadium erupted in a wave of cheers. Keane pounced on Qiao Wanxian directly from behind.
From Chelsea to Barcelona, Roy. Keane was completely convinced of this guy.
He is simply a championship winner, and everywhere he goes, he can win all the championships!
Qiao Wanxian looked calm, and glanced at him angrily: "Look at your little bit of talent, it's just a champion with a big fart, it's worth being so happy?" ”
Then he slowly walked onto the pitch, and for a moment, the shouts of "Joe Cannon" resounded through the Mestalla. (To be continued......)
