Chapter 103 Copa del Rey Final

In the second half, Pep Guardiola was replaced by Chang Waiola, and then he showed how a team with Ibrahimovic can break down a dense defence.

Ibrahimovic's technique and physicality make him equally comfortable against Deportivo LaCoruna's dense defence.

As a centre-forward, he can score on his own without scoring and can create chances for his teammates while also using the handicap to disrupt the opposition's defence. Such an all-round center forward makes it very painful for defenders to defend.

In the 68th minute, Ibrahimovic scored the team's third goal to bring Deportivo La Coruna to a complete collapse.

By full-time, Valencia scored another goal to beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 at home.

"Such a score can already make the second leg of the match between the two sides completely lose suspense!" Narrator Morn shook his head.

By the time the fourth goal arrived, the Deportivo fans in the stands had completely lost their voices, and the entire Mestalla was only cheered by the Valencia fans.

Such a score was something that no one expected before the game.

Maybe they guessed that Valencia would win, but they didn't expect to win so much.

A four-goal victory!

When did Super Laco lose so badly?

The last time they had lost four goals was in the 32nd round of the 1998-1999 season, when they lost 4-0 away to Barcelona.

That was three years ago.

Since then, Super Laco has made history as they won the league title in the 1999-2000 season and quickly became a powerhouse in La Liga.

It has always been them who bully others, and no one else has bullied them.

But now they seem to have kicked a piece of iron!

Valencia, led by Chang Sheng, was not afraid of any Super Laco name at all, and won heartily at home.

Although it was a Copa del Rey match, both sides played their best and received extraordinary attention.

There were still many people who thought before the game that Deportivo La Coruna could cause problems for Valencia in the league, and now it seems that even in the league. Super Laco may not be able to take advantage of Valencia either.

※※※

When the referee blew the full-time whistle, the Valencia players cheered and celebrated, while the Deportivo players hung their heads in disbelief that they would lose so badly.

Chang Sheng took the initiative to step forward this time and shook hands with Deportivo coach Iruetta.

Iruetta is waiting for him in the same place.

The hands of the two men were clasped together.

Irueta looked at Chang Sheng carefully, and then shook her head: "You're so young...... The afterlife is terrible, and the afterlife is terrible...... There's nothing new about your tactics, it's just a counter-attack, at best, a little tougher. But the way you employ people in the details amazes me. I'll admit, I didn't expect Marchena to be so defensive about Belleron. ”

Chang Sheng smiled: "I also had an idea." Of course, he couldn't say that he was well aware of Belleron's weaknesses before he crossed over.

"You're not even thirty yet, are you?" Irueta asked.

Chang Sheng nodded: "This September will be thirty years old." ”

Irueta shook her head again in disbelief and continued: "There is one more round to go, and we will not give up, even if the gap is a little bigger." ”

Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course, we will also go all out." ”

"Good luck." Irueta shook Chang Sheng's hand hard and took his leave.

Chang Sheng returned to the pitch to celebrate with his players.

4:0 at home, means that Valencia has basically reached the final.

He can now look forward to making a splash at Real Madrid's centenary celebrations.

The media paid full attention to this game.

The score also surprised everyone.

After the game, the media were surprised that the winning team could have such a big advantage over Deportivo La Coruna.

"Before the game I thought it was going to be a close game, but I was wrong...... Valencia swept Deportivo La Coruna at home...... What they showed convinced a lot of people that they deserved to be in the finals! ”

"It was a game that made a lot of sense for the coach because it showed us how he defended Deportivo La Coruna. As we all know, the core of Deportivo La Coruna's attack is Belleron, and Marchena's entry is a weapon dedicated to dealing with Belleron...... Marchena's defense doesn't play well in normal times, because he's rough and rough. But in yesterday's game, these characteristics of his were just the right to restrain Belleron...... This arrangement is always eye-catching! ”

"Valencia beat Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 at home, and it was a strong conversation that turned out to be one-sided. Speaking after the game, Irueta admitted he didn't expect to defend Bellerón as often as Marchena...... He was convinced to lose this game! ”

……

The most excited are the media in Valencia.

Because Deportivo La Coruna's strength in the past two years is in everyone's eyes, such a strong team is in Mestalla, beaten by the winning team and has no power to fight back.

To the surprise of the Valencian press.

After the game, the "Provincial Daily" published such a photo on the front page, in front of which was the excitement of Valencia players celebrating their goals, and behind him was the dejected figure of the Deportivo players, who were frustrated and foiled to Valencia.

There is a caption on the photo: "Their time has come." ”

This clearly refers to the advent of the time of Valencia.

But there's also a subtext, and that's that the era of Super Laco is over......

Of course, it is difficult to say whether the era of A Coruña is over, but at least the emergence of Chang Sheng has changed history.

Deportivo La Coruna will not be present at the Santiago Bernabeu to play Real Madrid.

The Copa del Rey from the Super Lacco era is gone.

※※※

The next night, another Copa del Rey semi-final was decided.

Real Madrid lost 1-2 away to Athletic Bilbao.

However, that doesn't mean Real Madrid won't be able to reach the Copa del Rey final.

Because they only lost one goal away from home and scored one away goal, the situation was actually in Real Madrid's favor.

I believe that Real Madrid, who are back at home, will definitely beat Athletic Bilbao and reach the final.

The media have already begun their third meeting of the season between Valencia and Real Madrid.

It's not that enemies don't get together. Originally, there was not much hatred between Real Madrid and Valencia, although it was not a match, but it was not like this. But since the arrival of the permanent victory, the animosity between Valencia and Real Madrid has escalated rapidly, and they are now close to the status of "sworn enemies".

Obviously, Chang Win brought his hatred for Real Madrid and then affected Valencia.

But that's what the media like to see.

If Valencia and Real Madrid can meet in the Copa del Rey final, it will be very interesting!

※※※

Three days later, on the weekend, Valencia played Las Palmas away, and there was no suspense in this game, which was not capable of resisting at all.

Despite the fact that the game was won by the rotation and the rest of the main players, Valencia beat Las Palmas 3-1 away.

In midweek, Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna met again.

This match is the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

Valencia travels to Deportivo La Coruna.

Though wise and hopeless, Irueta sent all her main force.

Chang Sheng made some rotations, replaced some main players, and replaced them. But in terms of combat effectiveness, Valencia has not decreased much.

The fighting spirit and fighting spirit of the substitute players are greater than that of the main players.

In the end, the two sides drew 2:2 at the Riazor Stadium.

Valencia eliminated Deportivo La Coruna with an aggregate score of 6:2 to advance to the Copa del Rey final!

After the game, Irueta shook Chang Sheng's hand again and said to him: "All of Spain knows that if Real Madrid wants to celebrate their birthday with a Copa del Rey title." You know how to do it, right? ”

Chang Sheng smiled, he thought that Deportivo had already decided to defeat the Bernabeu in the Copa del Rey final and disrupt Real Madrid's birthday banquet......

※※※

A day later, Real Madrid lived up to expectations and beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home to reach the final!

The two teams finally met again in the Copa del Rey final.

At the same time that Real Madrid qualified for the Copa del Rey final, it applied to the Spanish Football Federation to host the Copa del Rey final at the Bernabeu Stadium!

Since the 1992 Copa del Rey final, it has not been a 10-year since the Copa del Rey final was played on the home turf of a participating party.

There was a special reason for that match a decade ago – Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid had reached an agreement that the Copa del Rey final would be played at the Bernabeu, and then when the two teams met again in the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid would bid Atletico Madrid's home stadium Calderón to host the final.

At that time, Real Madrid's idea was to take advantage of home advantage and beat arch-rivals Atletico Madrid in the final.

But it's a pity that the abacus is played well, but the reality is cruel.

Real Madrid was finally kicked 0:2 by Madrid in the final, and could only watch their rivals celebrate the championship on their home turf.

Since then, the Copa del Rey final has been played on a neutral ground. The following year, Real Madrid reached the final of the Copa del Rey again, against Zaragoza, but this time they did not ask for the final to be played at the Bernabeu, but at Valencia's home stadium, Mestalla. In the end, Real Madrid defeated Zaragoza 2-0 in the Mestalla to lift the Copa del Rey for the 17th time in the club's history.

This time, Real Madrid offered to apply for the Copa del Rey final to be played at the Bernabeu, but it was not unexpected.

As Irueta said, Real Madrid wanted to decorate their centenary celebrations with the Copa del Rey winner, and it was well known.

Real Madrid themselves did not want to hide it, they simply said that they wanted to host the final at the Bernabeu, because it was part of Real Madrid's centenary celebrations.

There was confidence and disdain in those words, as if they had already won the Copa del Rey, and they didn't take their opponent Valencia seriously.

This is also the reason why many teams think that Real Madrid is arrogant, in fact, they are just confident to the extreme, they subjectively do not want to offend anyone, look down on anyone, this is just their pride and self-confidence as the best team of the twentieth century, but this kind of unintentional pride and self-confidence is a great insult to other teams!
