Chapter 29: Media Interviews (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collections)
There are a lot of journalists here today, including some journalists from the Malaga region.
Santa MΓ‘laga has been a "surprise" again and again in the Copa del Rey, attracting the attention of the MΓ‘laga media, and today they came to the scene.
The arrival of the media made today completely different from the previous two games, after the game, the coaches of both sides were surrounded by reporters.
Coach Numancia was a little embarrassed, it was a humiliating record as a second division team lost at the feet of a D division team.
"Playing against a D-tier team with an all-main squad and not being able to win, what do you think is the main problem?"
A local journalist threw out a pointed question.
Coach Numancia said with a blank face: "Sabadell and Alcorcon have lost to them successively, which shows that this team has the strength to cause an upset.
Alcorcon was ranked higher than us last season, so it wasn't for us to lose to the other side...... Very unexpected. β
He pulled a cushion on his back.
If it weren't for the Spanish Football Federation's rules, he would have fled here and lost at the feet of a D-division team......
'They played very smartly today, huddled in their own half of the pitch with only two or three players in front of us, so we had very little space to attack and they defended very tenaciously.
Then he analyzed the situation from the game: "We had more than 20 shots on goal and only scored one goal, which shows that our attacking efficiency is really problematic.
The opponent's attack was very efficient, with only three shots on goal and two goals in the whole game. β
A journalist from the Malaga region asked: "Which of the opposing players impressed you?" β
Coach Numancia thought for a moment and replied: "Captain Ten, I am very impressed with the area and intensity of his defense, especially his long passes. β
'The second is their right winger, the teenager is very fast, our defenders can't keep up with him, and he's very calm in front of goal......"
Speaking of this, his face became strange, because Li Chuanqi's first goal was not calm.
There was an element of luck in that goal.
On the other side, Antonio is also being interviewed by the media.
"Congratulations on reaching the fourth round and setting the record for the best result of a D team in the Copa del Rey, what do you think is the secret of your success?"
A middle-aged reporter took the lead in asking.
Antonio replied with a smile on his face: "It's a great honor for a team like us to be involved in the Copa del Rey.
To be able to win three professional teams in a row is due to our unity and the sacrifice of personal interests, as well as our tenacity and tenacity. β
Speaking of this, Antonio's expression became serious: "Behind the miracle, there is unimaginable pay!"
We are a D team, a community team, and the players have their own professions and are destined not to train like the higher teams, so they can only train in their spare time.
On a hot summer afternoon, others were drinking coffee in an air-conditioned room, and we were training under the scorching sun; In the evenings, while others are relaxing with beer, we are training or competing.
In the cold winter, others watch TV in a room with a fireplace, and we train in the cold wind......
And all this is without money, but for training and games, players have to pay for their own shoes. β
The atmosphere instantly became solemn, and some reporters who knew the situation nodded and said: "It's really not easy for a D-level team, and it's really not easy for a D-level player." β
A middle-aged reporter asked, "What are your expectations for the next round?" β
Antonio thought for a moment and said: "From the fourth round, the First Division team will start to participate, and our next opponent is likely to be the First Division. Against the First Division, we didn't have any chance of winning, or even a chance to win. β
Journalists nodded their heads, and this is indeed a fact.
"But as long as we're on the field, we're going to win!"
"The core value of sports is to win, no matter how strong the opponent is, no matter who the opponent is," Antonio said. β
The reporters almost applauded Antonio's words, but what he said next made the reporters' hands stop in the air.
"I hope that Lady Luck will continue to favor us in the next game, and I hope that God will help us continue to work miracles!"
Antonio looked up at the stars.
Well, it also seems to be a fact that without Lady Luck, they wouldn't have been where they are today.
After understanding this, the reporters continued to ask him: "What do your players usually do?" β
Antonio replied: "Teachers, civil servants, bank clerks, workers, students...... For example, I am a physical education teacher at a school. β
β¦β¦
The Santa Malaga players did not return to the dressing room immediately after the game.
Because the families and supporters of the players came down from the stands, they couldn't have ignored them.
"Brother! I had a good performance today, I was so handsome! β
Li Xiaofeng took Li Chuanqi's arm, her eyes were full of stars, and Yaisa, who was standing next to her, looked at Li Chuanqi a little shyly.
Yaisa and Li Chuanqi are about the same age, and the two are also about the same height.
"Did you enjoy today? Cheerleader. β
Li Chuanqi dotingly touched his sister's head.
Speaking of this, my sister was even more excited: "Brother, did you hear my voice?" I'm the loudest! You definitely heard that, right? β
Li Chuanqi had no choice but to nod against his will, in fact, he focused all his energy on the field during the game, as for the outside of the field...... He simply didn't have the energy to see or listen.
The two siblings chatted for a while before they were surrounded by supporters of Santa MΓ‘laga.
On the other side, Pablo was talking to supporters from all over the country.
"You have to stick to this way of playing! Seize the opportunity to give them a hard blow and put them to death! β
"Pablo, your long pass is so fucking accurate, and that kid, that speed, that technique, that shot, Nima, I don't know how to describe it!"
"Keep it up, I'll gather more people to cheer you on next time"
"Play well in the next game, the level of the first division team is indeed higher than that of the second division team, but the high level is limited, as long as you don't meet teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona, you still have a chance to cause an upset!"
"What are you afraid of, even if you run into Real Madrid or Barcelona, you can do whatever you want, winning or losing is secondary, as long as we play at our own level......"
"It's a fucking happiness to play official games against teams like Real Madrid and Barcelona! Pablo, you have to work hard and keep going until you meet Real Madrid and Barcelona! β
Pablo nodded with a smile on his face.
