Chapter 8: 2-0, advance to the second round!
With the score behind, Sabadell, who was playing at home, had to make a desperate bet, removing a midfielder and defender and replacing two forwards to make their defensive defenses weak.
After Li Chuanqi got Pablo's pass, he galloped in the open half!
Bursting with confidence, he beat two Sabadell players in a row and went straight to the penalty area!
There was only one defender left between him and the goal, and his last goal was from the foot of the tackle to create an attacking chance.
Del Monte captured Li Chuanqi's desire to break through this time, and when the football was out of protection, the football was destroyed out of the bottom line.
Corner kick.
It was the first corner of the game for San Malaga.
Captain Pablo saw that there was not much time left, so he called a few team-mates with good headers into the box and prepared to fight for the corner.
If you can use this opportunity to score a goal, then you can kill the game completely!
The atmosphere on the pitch was tense.
Li Chuanqi kicked the football into the penalty area, and the football flew into the air over the small penalty area with a strong spin.
There was chaos in the penalty area, and Pablo, who had just taken off, was gently pulled by the opposing defender and lost his center of gravity.
Pablo forced his body posture in the air and stubbornly completed the header!
Pablo's forehead was on the falling football, and at the moment of touching the ball, his head shook in the direction of the goal, and the football changed direction and flew towards the upper left of the goal!
With so many people in the box, the situation was extremely complicated, and the place of the attack was too close to the goal, so Sabadell goalkeeper Dias could not react at all.
By the time he could react, the ball had flown into the goal......
"The ball is in! Yes! ……”
The first to react was the bench of Santa Málaga, who could no longer suppress their ecstasy and rushed onto the pitch with a howl.
In the stands, the home fans watched the field dumbfounded, their own team was behind by two goals?
Scored two goals by a D-League team and none of their own teams scored?!
Nima, is this dreaming......
On one side is Santa Málaga, which is happy to descend from the sky, and on the other hand, Sabadell, which is like falling into an ice cave, two heavens of ice and fire.
Pablo's performance was very calm, and after happily hugging his teammates, he did not forget to remind his teammates that there were only a few minutes left, and they had to hold on to these last few minutes!
At this moment, the morale of San Málaga was high, and he had the pride to pull the emperor off the horse.
Antonio made a quick decision and brought on two defensively capable players before the game restarted.
Hold on.
Stick to the old age.
At the urging of Sabadell's players, the game began quickly, with the fourth official holding up the screen on the sidelines: four minutes of stoppage time.
Sabadell launched a frenzied attack, hoisting the ball into the San Malaga penalty area whenever they had the chance, a tactic similar to that of the English team in the 80s and 90s.
The Spanish team was not good at this style of play, so Sabadell's attack had little effect, and the football was pushed out again and again by the united Santa Málaga players.
When the Sabadell player regained control of the ball from outside the box and was about to look for a shot, he found that the defender had blocked the angle of the shot.
Then use the breakthrough to find opportunities.
But they find themselves in the middle of an endless enemy camp, and after one they pounce on another, and then another, only to find that there are at least four or five between them and the goal......
Despair.
It's an emotion that only exists when they are stronger than them in the second division or the first division, but today against the Santa Malaga side in the D division, they rarely felt this undeserved emotion.
So, they did the shot in a hurry.
Such a shot either flew high above the goal and flew off the line, or it was blocked by the human wall in front of him.
In the face of a dense defense, it is difficult for even La Liga teams to find effective countermeasures, let alone teams like Sabadell.
Coach Sabadell, who was standing in command in the command area, was full of anxiety, but he didn't know what to do.
Helpless, he was like a helpless child, crying silently in the sun.
"Tick! Backbite! Backbite! ……”
Time flew and four minutes after stoppage time, the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game.
It's over!
We won!
We've done wonders!
At the referee's prompt, the Santa Malaga bench players walked out of the pitch and players from both sides lined up in midfield.
When Santa Malaga bowed to the fans in the stands, the home fans applauded.
In a way, a game without fans loses its meaning, so players on both sides have to thank the fans after the game.
Sabadell fans applauded Santa Málaga because they did play well today, and it is not without precedent in the history of the Copa del Rey that a team from Division D has beaten a team from Division C, but it is extremely rare.
So they're going to give a round of applause to the people who work miracles.
Santa Málaga once again wrote the example of the victory of the weak over the strong, explaining that God will give everyone a chance, and if you can grasp this opportunity, you can create miracles and write your own legend.
When the Sabadell fans bow to the fans and thank them, they are treated in a completely different way, and the fans give them not applause, but boos.
There are even fans who spit fragrant mouths and condolences to the female members of the families of some players who are not performing well.
Losing to a D team they didn't care about, how could the Sabadell players dare to worry about it with the fans and flee the stadium as fast as they could.
Coach Sabadell showed his demeanor by congratulating Antonio and asking about Liag and Lee.
"If you're interested in inviting them to join your team, I'd suggest you talk to them yourself."
Antonio doesn't think he's going to be able to do it, at least he knows that Liag certainly doesn't have the idea of joining a third-division team.
If Liag really wants to play in the high league, at least a second division team.
As for Li Chuanqi, he knows very well that Li Chuanqi wants to become a professional player, but the third division team ......
It can only be considered a semi-professional team.
Coach Sabadell followed his advice and approached Liag first, and after learning that Liag had no intention of joining their team, he shifted his focus to Li Chuanqi.
"Hello, I'm Alturo, coach of Sabadell."
"Hello!"
After greeting him, Arturo went straight to the point: "You made an extremely strong impression on me with this match, I learned a little bit about you from your coach, you used to train in the Malaga junior team? ”
Li Chuanqi nodded calmly, but there were huge waves in his heart, this is to take the initiative to invite me?
Sure enough, the stage is different, and the people you come into contact with are different.
"I have a doubt, at the level you're showing now, you should be continuing to train in the club's academy right now, why are you playing in this D team?"
Still, the Sabadell boss decided to find out about the situation first.
Li Chuanqi thought for a while and said, "Because of the fight, I left the Malaga Junior Team." ”
He didn't want to lie about it.
"Fight?!"
The corners of Arturo's eyebrows jumped, it turned out that this was a thorn, and then he immediately understood that it was because of Li Chuanqi's complexion.
Is skin color the original sin?
The question was so profound that Arturo didn't want to think about it any further.
If that's the reason......
Although it is inevitable to go to Sabadell, as long as you communicate with the old players in the team, it is not impossible to solve it.
After Arturo solved the problem in his heart, he launched an invitation to Li Chuanqi: "I officially send you an invitation to join our team. ”
Li Chuanqi could no longer suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.
This image appeared several times in the dream, but when he woke up, he could only stare at the ceiling.
Now the picture of the dream has become a reality!
"Thank you for the invitation, but it's not a trivial matter, and I'm going back to discuss it with my family."
Li Chuanqi was not carried away by ecstasy.
"I understand!"
Arturo patted Li Chuanqi on the shoulder: "You are very good, I believe that Sabadell can give you everything." ”
"And you can tell your parents that there is racism in our place, but it's not serious, so reassure them."
Li Chuanqi thanked him for his honesty, and then the two shook hands and said goodbye.
Arturo handed Li Chuanqi a note with his phone number written on it.
After Arturo left, captain Pablo walked over with a smile and put his arm on his shoulders and walked towards the dressing room.
"Lee, congratulations! You've made it through your first big game! However, this is what I thought of beforehand, and I have always believed in you. That steal was really beautiful, how did you tell he was going to handle the ball like that? ”
"Captain, I said it was intuition, do you believe it?"
"Faith! Of course I believe it! Inzaghi is one such player, he has superhuman instincts in the box. ”
Li Chuanqi breathed a sigh of relief, yes, the superpower he has is intuition.
"The one who just sent you an invitation?"
Li Chuanqi nodded.
Pablo looked at him with a smile: "Congratulations! That's exactly what you want!
I've said a long time ago that as long as we play well in the Copa del Rey, you definitely have a chance to become a professional.
But I still didn't expect you to get an invitation in just one game!
Congratulations again! ”
Li Chuanqi asked, "Captain, do you think I should accept this invitation?" ”
Pablo smiled mysteriously: "It depends on whether you have confidence in the next game, if you think we can go on, don't promise him, if you don't have confidence......"
"But once you promise someone and then change your words, it's not good, it's a matter of integrity."
Li Chuanqi nodded, indicating that he knew this.
He concluded from Pablo's words that it is not easy to accept Arturo's offer, and if Santa Malaga can continue in the Copa del Rey, maybe he can also get an offer from a higher club.
Thinking of the bright future that may appear in the future, a sense of pride suddenly arises, and Li Chuanqi said heroically: "Of course I have confidence in us!" ”
Pablo patted him on the shoulder and said, "I believe it too!" ”
The two looked at each other and laughed!
When the two returned to the locker room, they were immediately ignited by the emotions of their teammates, who joined them in singing and dancing.
