Chapter 52: Youngest hat-trick in Copa del Rey history
When the game resumed, Levante was still pouring the ball in central midfield, trying to attract the Santa Malaga force.
But apart from the three strikers, Santa Málaga's midfielders did not press up.
The Málaga TV commentator exclaimed: "Santa Málaga adjusted their tactics, they put most of their forces in the middle and back, which made Levante's strategy useless!
From this point, it can be seen that Santa Malaga is a team with high tactical literacy, and it is indeed not a fluke that they have made it to this day! ”
Levante fans booed as they saw San Malaga huddle down halfway.
However, their boos were quickly drowned out by the shouts of the outnumbered supporters of Santa Málaga.
In the thirteenth minute of the second half, Levante tore apart the Santa Malaga defence with a series of concise passes on the right flank.
Iborra crosses from the bottom!
Baris Addo pushed the ball out of the box against Baldo and defused the goalmouth crisis.
Levante midfielder Javi Torres took control of the ball in the corner of the box and was about to shoot with his foot but Pablo immediately blocked it.
"Great!"
The captain is really reliable, where there is danger, he will appear!
From the stands, Santa Málaga's most loyal supporters sighed in their hearts.
Javi Torres had to look for a new opportunity to cross the ball across the middle and Farinos from the back row fired a long-range shot!
As soon as the ball flew into the penalty area, it was blocked by Zukulini's outstretched foot, which defused the opponent's attack.
Five minutes later, Levante was back in action, this time attacking from the middle, with Harvey Torres shaking off Pablo's defence and smashing a straight shot!
The ball cleverly weaves through the gap between the two centre-backs in Santa Malaga!
Baldo flew forward and shot at the attacking MiG!
The soccer ball passes in front of the MiG's right toe!
Santa Malaga is in a panic, Levante is the fourth-ranked team in La Liga, and the attack is really sharp......
Just as Levante was about to cheer and celebrate, the football flew out of the baseline against the outside of the post!
"Nope! ……”
Countless Levante fans wailed, damn it, this is the first time that a must-score has been missed?!
Levante's luck is so bad?
St. Malaga was covered in a cold sweat, thrilling, thank you Lady Luck!
Thank God!
The Málaga TV commentator exclaimed: "This is the third time that Santa Málaga has escaped, and their luck brings out the misfortune of Levante!"
With two goals down, Levante began to accelerate, speeding up the pace of the game and creating chances in a row, with Santa Malaga's defence under pressure! ”
Antonio was still on the bench, braving the drizzle to make his way to the command area and shouting at Liag and the other winger, signaling them to go back and help the midfielders.
Santa Malaga completely returned to its original tactics, leaving Li Chuanqi alone in front.
As the two of them retreated to participate in the defence, the defensive pressure in the midfield plummeted, and Levante could no longer create chances in the middle, so he could only attack from both flanks.
In the 28th minute of the second half, Levante launched an attack from the left side, fullback Juanfran crossed to the middle, and the football flew towards the penalty area!
Pedro López, who was in front of him, snuggled up to Barris Addo and took advantage of the situation to shoot!
The ball was played in the side-netting and Levante missed another great chance to score.
Levante slowed down the tempo for the rest of the game and added a midfield back-to-back ball, but Santa Malaga remained unfazed and continued to put a large number of troops in central midfield.
As time went on, Levante had to pick up the tempo of the attack again.
In the 35th minute of the second half, Levante launched an attack from the right side, and fullback Venta crossed from the bottom!
Unsure, MiG leaps high and punches the ball out of the box.
Pablo from outside the penalty area cleared the ball with a big kick and kicked the ball forward, but this time Li Chuanqi failed to grab the ball, and the ball was controlled by central defender Ballesteros.
Li Chuanqi did not give up and continued to put pressure on Ballesteros to prevent him from moving the football to the front court at the first time.
Ballesteros could only pass the ball back to goalkeeper Munua.
Li Chuanqi once again had a strong premonition that Munua would pass the football back to Del Horno.
So he immediately turned around and moved quickly towards del Orno.
The next moment, Munua really passed the football to Del Horno!
"There are ghosts!"
Munua shouted at Del Orno.
Del Horno, who was stretching out his foot to stop the ball, heard his shouts and his movements were slightly deformed.
This deformation caused him to have a problem with the ball stopping, and he stopped five or six meters away from his left!
The Málaga TV commentator shouted: "Del Horno made a mistake! He made a mistake in stopping the ball! Youngster's chance is here! ”
The reporters on the sidelines looked at the stadium in amazement, wouldn't they...... Another amateurish mistake......
Is that how the gift is given?
Where would Li Chuanqi let go of this opportunity, took a few lightning steps, controlled the football at his feet, and then entered the penalty area!
Levante goalkeeper Munua felt he was the saddest man tonight, and this was his third time saving a solo shot tonight.
Munua is like a tiger out of the slaughter, abandoning the door!
As the distance between the two shortened, Li Chuanqi's figure floated up, and his center of gravity quickly swayed!
In response to change, Munua made a decision in an instant.
However, Li Chuanqi's next move was too fast, and he passed through his right side after two consecutive false shakes!
He just stood there like a stake.
No! ……
Munua knows what fate awaits him.
After breaking through Munua, Li Chuanqi pushed and shot, and the football flew into the empty goal!
"Lee! Plum! Plum! ……”
The Málaga TV commentator shouted: "Hat-trick!
Three to zero!
Santa Malaga leads 3-0!
Santa Málaga is victorious! ”
At this moment, the Rose Garden Stadium was boiling again, and huge cheers, cheers, and screams resounded throughout the stadium!
Levante fans are pale and cold, God, 0-3, 0-3, who would have thought?
In the past, they thought that this game could be easily won, after all, the opponent was only a D-class team, who would have thought that the scene was so passive, the goal was pierced by the opponent three times, and all three times were single-handed......
The Levante bench fell into a dead silence and head coach Ignacio Martinez looked unsightly as they were pulled off the altar by Santa Malaga.
The reporters on the sidelines looked at each other dumbfounded, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Li Chuanqi, who scored the goal, ran to the bench excitedly and hugged his teammates who rushed out.
Li Chuanrui, who was in the stands not far away, shook his mouth and sighed: "The hat trick is amazing, even if it's me...... It's also hard to do. ”
Dad was smiling very happily, his eyes were full of money, and he had made a big bet on Santa Malaga for tonight's game.
"Huzi is good, he must know that his father presses them to win!"
My sister shouted loudly on the side: "Add chicken legs!" Add chicken legs! Mom, I've got to add chicken legs tomorrow night! Coke chicken thighs! ”
My mother was in a good mood at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay! Tomorrow night I will make Coke chicken thighs......"
Li Chuanrui looked at his parents: "Huzi's professional player this time can't run away." ”
Dad rubbed his hands excitedly, and Mom blinked, so there was no need to deliberately pretend to be poor in the future......
The Málaga TV commentator finally broke free from the excitement: "Santa Málaga youngster Lee shined tonight and scored a hat-trick, and all three goals were scored in the same way - single-handedly!
And twice it was the goalkeeper who broke through and hit the empty goal!
This shows that the youngster's breakthrough technique is superb, and it shows that he is extremely calm before shooting!
At the age of 17 and 121 years, the youngster Lee set a new record for the youngest hat-trick in the history of the Copa del Rey!
This is sure to be the most important stroke of the Copa del Rey!
A D-class player has left his name on the historic Spanish Copa del Rey and set a new record!
It is necessary to introduce this youngster.
This is his fifth Copa del Rey game and he's already scored a staggering eight goals!
He has scored in every game in the previous four games.
According to media reports, many high-level professional teams have begun to pay attention to the youngster.
After this game, I'm sure more professional teams will pay attention to this youngster!
I highly recommend Malaga to bring this youngster into their ranks! ”
Li Chuanqi and his teammates returned to the field, waving his hands at the supporters in the stands.
Supporters responded with thunderous applause and screams.
The game soon restarted, and Antonio issued a death order to the whole team to hold on until the end of the game and try to keep a clean sheet.
Home and away two-legged system, away goals are crucial.
Levante didn't reverse the ball at the back this time, pushing the ball forward as quickly as possible to attack.
Santa Malaga were united, setting up one defensive line after another on the front, and Levante could only attack from the flanks again.
In the 38th minute of the second half, Levante launched an attack from the right side, and fullback Venta crossed from the bottom and was directly blocked from the bottom line.
Two minutes later, they sent in another cross from the right, the ball flew into the box, MiG jumped high and plucked it directly in the air!
In the 42nd minute of the second half, Iborra sent in a 45-degree cross, and Baldo fell in the box.
The Levante player asked the referee for a penalty kick and was yellow carded by the referee.
In the 45th minute of the second half, Pablo broke the ball on the right flank, and Santa Malaga had a good chance to counterattack.
Pablo made a long pass, and Li Chuanqi once again showed his speed.
This time, however, he couldn't get the ball, and Ballesteros smashed the ball off the touchline with a tackle.
After Santa Malaga got possession of the ball, he reversed the ball in midfield, and Levante made a frantic press and completed the tackle.
Pablo decisively took a tactical foul to bring the opponent down, and he received a yellow card.
The clock entered stoppage time, and the battle between the two sides on the field was white-hot.
In the third minute of stoppage time, Li Chuanqi seized the opportunity when the opponent dribbled the ball and the distance between people and the ball was too large, and stole the football.
Then he went forward with the football!
Surprisingly, Liag rarely followed up and actively participated in the attack.
