Pepe's original name was Kopelle? Ravilan? Lima? Pacos Ferreira, like many players, the name Pepe is just his nickname. Pepe was born on February 26, 1983 in the sun-drenched northeastern Brazilian town of Maceio. Like all Brazilian children, Pepe has been hooked on football since he was a child, honing his individual skills and physical strength on the warm sands of his hometown.

When the stage shifted from the beach to the greenery, Pepe felt the effect of his usual training, and everything became extremely easy and smooth. As a teenager he played for Corinthians, a prestigious club in Brazil, at the age of eighteen he was recruited by the small Portuguese club Marítimo and at the age of twenty he was promoted to a first-team player. He was spotted by Portuguese club Porto in 2003-04 and officially moved to Porto in 2004.

In 2006, Pepe obtained an EU passport and became a European citizen with dual Portuguese and Brazilian citizenship. In the 06-07 season, although Adrianse, who had gradually trusted himself, was disgraced before the season, this did not affect Pepe's bright future, and he was still an unavailable player in the hands of former Boavista coach Ferreira.

Pepe's compatriot and friend Deco switched to Portugal after a hopeless spell for the national team and became a world-class star. Pepe, who has an eye-catching performance in the Portuguese Super League, has become the second target that Scolari is actively striving for for the Portuguese team. However, Pepe still refused Scolari's invitation under the temptation of the World Cup. He believes he has what it takes to earn his place in the Brazilian national team in the future!

However, after not being selected for the 2006 World Cup squad of Brazil. Pepe was so disappointed that he officially became a member of the Portuguese national team in August 2007 and played his first competitive match for Portugal on 31 August.

Losing the Brazilian team and missing out on the '06 World Cup hit Pepe hard, and he has a natural hatred for Brazilian players. Seeing that Ronaldinho and Tang Jue had a quarrel, the seeds of hatred buried deep in his heart suddenly began to take root.

Later, Tang Jue learned in a deep conversation with him that it was that defeat that made his temperament change greatly. Extremely irritable. Aggressive towards people.

The clash was cleared thanks to the efforts of players and referees on both sides, but the contradictions between the two teams had already begun, leading to the upcoming Copa del Rey final. The fiery is unusual.

……

At 7:30, the players from both sides came out of the tunnel of the players. According to the original plan. It's time to start the race. Journalists with a keen sense of smell seemed to know what was going on.

The mountains roared like a tsunami of cheers, and Tang Jue encouraged himself in his heart: Boy! Your first title at Real Madrid is here, you can't give those guys a chance to attack!

Antonini, a football commentator on TVE, spoke into the microphone and said: "Fans and friends. This season's Copa del Rey is about to begin, and this is the first battle for the Treble. This is the second match of the season between the two sides, and the first meeting between the two sides takes place in the 17th round of La Liga, on December 23, at Christmas dinner. ”

"In that game, Barcelona sat at home and finally won the score against Real Madrid. Real Madrid's number one star, who was substituted early, had a conflict with the manager, and the door of the dressing room and the chairs inside became the object of Don's anger. After that game, Real Madrid was caught in a whirlpool of discord between the generals. ”

"After almost four months, the two sides met in the final of the Copa del Rey. What kind of competition will they give to everyone? It's worth the wait! ”

"Let's first introduce you to the starters of both sides, Real Madrid: goalkeeper, Cassias, four defenders, Ramos, Cannavaro, Pepe, Drenthe, four midfielders, Ribery, Guti, Yaya Toure, Sneijder, two forwards, Don, Henry."

'Schuster was in a four-four-two, Cannavaro and Sergio Ramos didn't play at Old Trafford and they were well rested. Both said before the game that they were ready! ”

"On the Barcelona side: goalkeeper, Valdés; Four defenders: Abidal, Pique, Puyol, Zambrotta; Three midfielders: Iniesta, Deco, Xavi; Three strikers: Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto'o, Lionel Messi. ”

"Rijkaard's formation is a four-three-three with a lot of attacking power. Both sides fielded their main line-ups, which are the strongest line-ups of both sides at the moment. ”

'Both coaches and players were determined to win tonight, Real Madrid have not won the Copa del Rey for 15 years and they are hungry for it. As for Barcelona, they haven't won the Copa del Rey for 10 years. ”

……

At 7:40, with the referee's whistle, the game officially began!

At the beginning of the game, players from both sides were entangled, often quarrelling over trivial matters. In the seventh minute, Ronaldinho dribbled the ball on the left side, Ramos did not retreat, and stepped forward with a kick. Even the man dribbled the ball and put Xiao Luo down on the turf.

Pepe took a few steps forward and yelled at Xiao Luo, who was lying on the turf moaning, "Damn, hurry up, are you a girl?" Are you going to spread your legs and wait for me to come to X? ”

Ronaldinho couldn't stand these words, he ignored the pain in his right leg and yelled at Pepe, and the two began to scream and curse. The referee stepped forward and gave Pepe a yellow card to separate the two. But the yellow card did not quell the anger of both sides, and the players of both sides became entangled and the situation got a little out of control.

After the hard work of the four referees, the players on both sides finally calmed down temporarily. In the ensuing game, players from both sides frequently fell on the turf, and the referee had to whistle again and again to stop the game. In just 20 minutes, five players from both sides have already received yellow cards.

TVE commentator Antonini said: "The match was full of gunpowder and the players from both sides were entangled from the very beginning of the match, which was more like a wrestling match. ”

Coaches from both sides shouted in the command area, hoping that their players would calm down. However, how could the players on both sides who had already come up calm down like this.

……

In the thirteenth minute, Sneijder fired a long-range shot from outside the box. It was the prelude to the offensive of both sides. In the 16th minute, Samuel Eto'o struggled to get up from outside the box and the ball was blocked by Cannavaro with his body.

The Barcelona defenders defended Tang Jue very well, and as soon as he got the ball, several players around him immediately surrounded him, not giving him space to break through at all, let alone shoot. Whenever Sneijder got the ball, Iniesta would follow him closely and prevent him from passing the ball easily.

Real Madrid's attack was bogged down and Barcelona dismembered their attacking players. Divide them apart. Barcelona's attack wasn't much better. Real Madrid's midfield used ferocity, bringing down Ronaldinho, Messi, and Eto'o again and again, and their smooth cooperation often paused at the last step.

A fiery scene. Let the nobles sitting in the VIP seat shake their heads one after another. Calderon's brow furrowed slightly. He was afraid that it would go on like this. Sooner or later, Real Madrid's players will be late for red cards.

His fears finally came true in the first thirty minutes of the first half!

Xavi shook off Guti in the hinterland and fired a diagonal pass that sent the ball between Pepe and Ramos. This is a very accurate pass. Like a sharp scalpel, it cuts through Real Madrid's defense!

Ronaldinho ran towards the football, along with Pepe on the right. The two of them were like two cheetahs about to fight for food, and instantly got into the forbidden area. Pepe suddenly raised his left elbow and hit Ronaldinho in the face!

"Ahh ......" screamed through the sky above the Mistina stadium, and Ronaldinho fell in pain on the turf of the Real Madrid penalty area. The referee blew the whistle decisively!

Antonini, the TV commentator, shouted: "Oh! Oh, God! What did Pepe do? This is a no-go zone! ”

The referee's right hand points to the penalty spot!

Guti stopped, shook his head and looked at Pepe, he knew something was wrong. Schuster, who was sitting on the bench, slapped his forehead hard and lowered his head. In the VIP seat, Calderón's face was very unpleasant. In the stands, the faces of the Real Madrid fans began to turn pale, and their hearts began to close.

No surprises, Pepe got a red card!

The red card was like a sharp dagger that slammed into the hearts of the Real Madrid fans, and their hearts began to bleed......

However, Pepe did not relent, he bent down and yelled at Ronaldinho on the turf: "Damn it, you're not a man!" ”

Guti pulled Pepe, who was still in a rage, and Ronaldinho, whose face was covered in blood, was carried off the pitch. Rijkaard asked Bojan to prepare for the event on the sidelines.

Antonini, the TVE commentator, watched the TV replay and said, "God! How could Pepe lose his cool? He doesn't foul and Ronaldinho doesn't necessarily get the football. Pepe made a big mistake and Real Madrid had to play with 10 men in the next game! ”

"Not only that, but his foul also gave Barcelona a penalty. Pepe's uncool foul means that the balance has been broken and Real Madrid will fall into passivity. We saw Metzeld start preparing on the sidelines and Schuster preparing for a substitution. Who's down? ”

'At times like this, it's usually a midfielder to come off, Guti? No, he is the pivot of Real Madrid's offensive and defensive transitions, and neither is Sneijder, and Ribery's left flank is the main direction of Real Madrid's attack. Then, there is only Yaya Toure to replace. ”

……

Samuel Eto'o stood in front of the football, and with the referee's whistle, the Mistena pitch began to tense!

"Smack! ......" There was a crisp sound, and the football began to flash like a white lightning bolt, and it was aimed at the right side of the goal!

Casillas misjudged and ended up watching the ball cross the goal line and fly into the net!

TVE commentator Antonini exclaimed: "The ball is in!" The ball is in! Samuel Eto'o converted the penalty created by Ronaldinho to give Barcelona a 1-0 lead! ”

Four months ago, at Christmas dinner, Samuel Eto'o scored twice to help Barcelona win 3-2. Tonight he scored again in the back of the net held by Casillas! ”

"Real Madrid are behind and there is one less man, their situation is very dangerous!"

After scoring the goal, Samuel Eto'o transformed into a bird and flew excitedly on the pitch. Barça fans cheered loudly in the stands, and the banner on the south side of the stadium fluttered in the wind. At this time, the words on the banner are the inner portrayal of Barcelona fans - they are going to win the 25th Copa del Rey!

In their opinion, no matter who they are, they will not be able to stop them from winning the first game of the treble. There is no one who can stop them from winning their first trophy of the season! (To be continued......)
