Chapter 32: Opponent in the Fourth Round - Zaragoza (Ask for Recommendation Votes, Ask for Collection)

Pajaritos asked Juan to go back and reprint a contract, and if there were no problems, the contract could be signed tomorrow and the money could be credited to their account the day after tomorrow.

The news spread in Santa Malaga in the evening and the players were so excited that we were a real sponsored team!

……

On the first day of November, the sun was shining, and the Spanish Football Federation held the draw for the fourth round of the Copa del Rey, after which the draw was announced.

The fourth round was a watershed moment for the Copa del Rey as from the fourth round onwards La Liga teams participated.

So some people say that the Copa del Rey doesn't really start until the fourth round.

La Liga teams do not have to participate in the first three rounds of matches, and they will not all appear until the fourth round.

With the involvement of the La Liga teams, the Copa del Rey match really caught the eye.

Barcelona's opponent is the third-division side Ospitalette.

The team eliminated two second division teams to advance to the fourth round, but they were very unlucky and met Barcelona in the fourth round.

Real Madrid's opponent is Bonferedina, which is a second division team.

The opponents of Santa Málaga are of course the ones that have attracted the attention of Santa Málaga supporters and the national D football community.

Zaragoza!

Zaragoza are San Málaga's opponents in the fourth round.

Zaragoza FC is located in the northeastern region of Spain, the gateway between Catalonia and Madrid, and has a long history of talent.

The sixties of the last century were the most glorious era of Zaragoza.

The five Players Cup of Canario, Santos, Marcelino, Villa and La Petra on the front line are known as the "Fantastic Five", and in 1964 Zaragoza won both the La Liga title and the Fair Cup!

After saying goodbye to the Fantastic Five in the seventies of the 20th century, the team began to decline. After finishing runners-up in La Liga in 1974-75, they were relegated the following season.

In the 80s, there were stars like Rijkaard, but the results were not ideal.

It wasn't until the 90s when young coach Victor Fernandez became the manager, relying on the likes of Esneider and Poyet, that the team won the 1994 Copa del Rey and the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup!

After entering the 21st century, the team gradually became South American, and continued to invite high-level players from Argentina and Brazil to join.

In particular, in the 2007-08 season, the team's attacking power should not be underestimated with stars such as Argentina's D. Milito, D'Alessandro, Aimar and Brazil's Matuzaren.

In the 07-08 season, the strength of the team was further strengthened by the addition of former AC Milan player Oliveira.

However, during the season, they were constantly infighting, and finally ended up with a poor record of 10 wins, 12 draws and 16 losses, and they were unexpectedly relegated, with Diego Milito, Aimar, Sergio Garcia, Mattuzalen, and Oliveira leaving the team one after another.

The civilian Zaragoza are in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga, finishing fourteenth for two consecutive seasons.

This season, Zaragoza brought in a few players who are not well-known, but quite strong, but the results have not improved much compared to the previous two seasons, and they lost 0-6 at home to Real Madrid in the first round!

La Liga has been played for ten rounds, and Zaragoza has accumulated 15 points with four wins, three losses and three draws, temporarily ranking 14th in the standings.

……

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was still shining and the Malaga Park stadium had already begun to gather the players of San Málaga.

"Zaragoza?"

Liag asked: "Our opponent in this round is Zaragoza?" ”

After receiving an affirmative reply, he pondered for a moment and said, "This is a bad sign. ”

MiG nodded and said: "It's good to meet Zaragoza, if we meet Real Madrid and Barcelona in the fourth round, then we are finished......"

Liag raised his eyebrows: "What about Real Madrid and Barcelona?" If we keep going, sooner or later we will run into them. ”

"Cowardice before fighting? We can't have that kind of thinking! ”

Li Chuanqi is very appreciative of Liag's point, this guy is so confident when he meets any opponent, which may have a direct relationship with the fact that he came from Real Madrid's academy.

"There is an old Chinese saying that 'barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes', we are barefoot now, we are afraid of what they will do, we must have the ambition to pull the king off the horse!"

Barefoot not afraid to wear shoes?

The teammates didn't quite understand this sentence, so Li Chuanqi had to explain it to them slowly.

Barris Addo nodded and said: "I support the views of Liag and Lee, what about Real Madrid, what about Barcelona, just meet them and do it, as for the result...... What do you want to do with those, right, MiG? ”

MiG's face was a little embarrassed, and he felt a little guilty in his heart, and he blushed and explained: "I don't mean that I am afraid of meeting Real Madrid and Barcelona, I mean that if we don't meet them, the possibility of our promotion will increase." ”

Pablo smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "A few of them are not aimed at you, they are high-spirited, you don't have any ideas." ”

Pablo clapped his hands and summoned everyone over, looked around for a week, and said in a calm voice: "Now the draw results are in, our opponent is Zaragoza!" So, in the coming period, everyone should look for more research on the game in Zaragoza. ”

His voice became serious: "If the research is not in place, can we find each other's weaknesses." This matter is about whether we can defeat our opponents in the end!

The old rules, study the opposing players, find out their weaknesses, and find countermeasures! ”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Pablo clapped his hands vigorously and bent over.

The players around him put their hands on the shoulders of their teammates next to them in a circle.

Pablo, standing in the center of the circle, shouted in a low voice: "Come on, San Malaga!" ”

The players in a circle shouted: "Come on, San Malaga!" ”

After the yelling, everyone rushed onto the field to prepare for this afternoon's training.

This is a very ceremonial feeling.

Supporters on the sidelines looked at the players with smiles.

Antonio was unable to coach this afternoon, so Pablo took on the role of coach.
