Chapter 1256, the Spanish Copa del Rey begins!
Laco is having a smooth ride in La Liga and is moving towards his goal.
And Yunsheng's goal for the season is not just to win the La Liga title, his goal is to win the double.
Therefore, four days later, when Laco ushered in this season's Spanish Copa del Rey, Yunsheng's request to the team was one sentence - to win! There is no room for error!
Compared with the long league, the cup is a game that is guaranteed to be won or lost, which is more unpredictable, so Yunsheng made a large rotation in the last game, and it is obvious that the number of main players sent in this cup is more.
In this game, Yunsheng let Riquelme, Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng, Lucio and several others take turns to rest, and Ronaldo filled Wu Lei's position on the front line, partnering with Owen and Beba. Midfielder Belleron is at the heart of the technique, with Gattuso and Pogba on the left and right. The centre-back duo was last season's main pairing, Marchena and Castro.
This lineup is more than enough to deal with an opponent from La Liga.
In this Copa del Rey quarter-final match, Laco will face Las Palmas from La Liga, who will play away at the Stadio Gran Canaria, the home of their opponents.
And in the face of this opponent, in addition to the competitive level, there is also some special significance.
When the whole team walked out of the players' tunnel and walked into the Gran Canaria stadium, the audience applauded! Countless away fans even gave a standing ovation!
This applause is dedicated to the Spanish passing star!
Yunsheng deliberately asked everyone to slow down and let Belleron go to the front, and when Belleron heard the applause of the audience again and saw the familiar Gran Canaria Stadium, his tears couldn't stop flowing.
In the summer of 1995, at the age of 19, Bellerón walked out of the Las Palmas Academy and made his debut in La Liga. Although he did not lead the team back to La Liga in two seasons, he played 54 league games for the team and is a rising star in the team.
In the years that followed, he traveled to Mallorca, Atletico Madrid, La Liga, and finally joined Laco in the summer of 2000, witnessing and creating the era of "Super Laco".
Every child who leaves home will keep a place in the softest place in his heart, that is the taste of home, that is where dreams begin. Stepping back into the stadium after 15 years, listening to the applause that once belonged to him, Bellerón's tears rolled in his eyes.
Belleron has dedicated the best of his youth to Laco, and with Laco's ups and downs, it is now his 13th year, but in his heart, he still loves this place the most, and it is still Las Palmas that haunts him.
Las Palmas have had a poor season and could not even hold on to their place in La Liga, but their players have worked hard and after their last two consecutive wins, they have finally escaped the relegation zone, but promotion to La Liga is far away.
The host of the scene even sensationally handed the microphone to Belleron, asking him to say a few words in front of his hometown father, and the players on both sides also waited quietly on the side of the court, waiting to listen to the feelings of a child who went home.
Belleron held the microphone in his right hand, trembling slightly, he looked at the fans in the stadium, and there was a sparkle in his eyes.
"I love Las Palmas and it will always be my favourite team. It was Las Palmas who raised me and I will always remember you all! ”
'I know we're in trouble right now, but with the last two wins in a row we've gotten out of the relegation zone and you've got to do better! Dear guys, I hope that one day, I can end my career here! I hope we can fight together and get back to La Liga! ”
The stands burst into thunderous applause and cheers!
On the side of the court, Guti was very moved in his heart, and he chatted with Yun Sheng in a low voice: "In the whole of Spain, Belleron's status is definitely much higher than mine, he is the Zidane of this country, he is a real master!" ”
But Li Tie was a little worried: "Boss, Belleron said that he wants to retire in Las Palmas?" His contract expires at the end of the season......"
Yun Sheng also frowned slightly: "If he can, I hope he can renew his contract with the team." Although he is older, he is still an important member of the team, he is one of the founders of Super Laco, the only remaining spiritual leader of his era. After this game, I have to talk to him about the contract extension as soon as possible......"
After a short and warm welcome ceremony, the race started on time.
In this game, Riquelme was rested, and Belleron became the single core of the team today.
Although he was full of nostalgia for his old club, once the game officially began, Belleron instantly returned to his previous form.
In Riquelme's absence, Belleron took on the responsibility of organising the team's attack.
When it comes to familiarity with his teammates, even Riquelme is a cut below Belleron.
In the 13th minute of the game, Bellerón combined with young left-back Salomão on the left flank to tear apart the opponent's defence.
After the gap in the opponent's back line was exposed, Belleron made a straight stop, and Owen quickly stepped forward and pushed in front of the goal!
1 to 0! Laco started the game and was in good shape!
And in the 33rd minute of the game, this time it was Belleron who cruised to the right side, and the young right-back Miranda quickly plugged in, using his speed and physical advantage to shake off the opponent's defense, and crossed from the bottom, and Beba headed the goal in front of the goal! The ball goes into the net!
2 to 0! Laco extends the lead of the score!
Seeing the team's two-goal lead, there was cheering in front of Coach Laco.
Guti nodded frequently and applauded vigorously: "Although Owen and Beba are older, they still maintain excellent condition, and with their combination this season, plus Wu Lei, they will not fall behind against Real Madrid and Barcelona!" ”
On the side, Li Tie paid more attention to the two young full-backs: "Today these two young people are very active, the central defender is a combination of Marchena and Castro, today the four defenders have been working together for many years, and they are also the heroes of our breakthrough last season, and the most stable performance in this game is the defensive line." ”
Although the two assistant coaches were full of praise for the strikers and defenders, Yun Sheng's eyes remained on Belleron.
Riquelme was not present in this game, and Bellerón performed very well.
Although the Spanish midfield maestro is 36 years old, his control in the midfield is still top-notch, and his speed and strength are not much different from when he was younger, which is rare. If his fitness does not drop significantly, Yunsheng will definitely put him and Riquelme in the starting lineup.
Even so, in similar games, after Riquelme's rotation, Belleron was still able to take on the team's midfield playmaking responsibilities perfectly, and the occasional forward could also pose a great threat to the opposition.
However, in Yun Sheng's heart, he still has some gloom and melancholy, lingering......
