Fox in the Penalty Area - Chapter 453
Zhang Qinghuan did make detailed preparations for this King’s Cup final.
Not only him, but Saria’s entire team.
After all, this is the first time their team has reached the final in 17 years. Whether or not they can finally win the championship, it is impossible for Saria to not take it seriously.
They trained hard, and the coaching staff made targeted tactical arrangements.
Just to compete with the Pirates of Madrid for the Copa del Rey in the final.
Before kick-off, the team’s captain Rojo Calidos also called his teammates together and formed a circle to continue the cheering ceremony that was not completed in the player tunnel.
He kept telling his teammates:
“We are very strong! Very strong! Being able to reach the final of the King’s Cup means that we are the same as the Pirates. We are qualified and capable of wrestling with them in the final!”
In fact, not only this season, but the last few seasons have been the “golden era” for their club for Saria.
Although he has not won any championships, he has reached the Europa League twice in three years, and also reached the final of the King’s Cup, which is already a very remarkable achievement.
Such achievements are rare in the more than 100-year history of the Sarria Club.
They have only been a small club from the very beginning, and there is absolutely no way to compare them with the big brother Catalan United.
Both history and honor are lackluster.
If they weren’t “well-born” and happened to be born in Barcelona, they wouldn’t even be worthy of being regarded as a “sworn enemy” by the Catalan United.
Although he finished seventh this season, his results with the giants are not good.
Double-killed by the King of Madrid, and also double-killed by the city’s mortal enemy Catalan United.
That is, against the Pirates of Madrid, it was slightly better – it was a draw anyway.
In the twenty-seventh round of the league, Saria drew 1:1 with the Madrid Pirates at home.
The draw in this game made the Madrid Pirates almost caught up by the King. Fortunately, the King lost to the Catalan United in the “National Derby” in the next round of the league.
It was a life-or-death moment for the Pirates of Madrid at the time – they were just two points ahead of the Kings because of a draw by Saria.
If the King of Madrid beat the Catalan United next, not only can he get three points, but also can boost morale, maybe it is really possible to force the Pirates into a hurry.
It is precisely because of the draw with the Madrid Pirates at home that Saria has the fighting spirit and confidence to defeat the Madrid Pirates in the Copa del Rey final.
But it wasn’t until the Copa del Rey final that they realized how terrible a giant team that wanted to complete the triple crown was.
The same team, in the twenty-seventh round of the league and the King’s Cup final, are completely in two states.
If Saria met the Madrid Pirates in the third and fourth rounds of the Copa del Rey, he might think that the giants are nothing more than that.
But at different stages, the mentality and morale of the players will also be different.
※※※
Zhang Qinghuan was quite active right after the start of the game. In the sixth minute, he sent a very wonderful over-the-top pass and almost assisted his teammates to score.
It was just a little bit bigger, and was taken by the timely goalkeeper Heywell.
After that, Zhang Qinghuan was closely guarded by Ramirez.
Being targeted by the “Champion Corner” is definitely not good news.
Therefore, in the next game, Zhang Qinghuan gradually became silent.
Although he can still hold the ball and pass back, it is almost impossible to turn around and go forward.
Ramirez let him go back, let him develop laterally, but he was not allowed to go forward, whether it was passing or dribbling.
As long as Zhang Qinghuan tried to move forward in the game, he would immediately be severely hit by Ramirez.
It was not the first time that Zhang Qinghuan had played against Ramirez in a match, but such a strong sense of oppression still made him very unfamiliar, even a little unaccustomed to it.
The intensity of the physical confrontation made Zhang Qinghuan have no doubt that when the game was over, he was probably covered in bruises.
He can protect the football as much as possible under Ramirez’s pressing, and don’t lose the ball with him, it is already very good.
Don’t even think about organizing an attack.

“Hey, why do you keep posting back? Go ahead!”
In front of the TV, friends watching the game with Ren Changmei saw that Zhang Qinghuan chose to pass back again, and some people asked anxious questions.
“I can’t go.” As a professional who knows football best among this group of people, Yong Jun explained to them. “Ramirez is like a wall, blocking Qinghuan’s body.”
The crowd groaned.
Yong Jun comforted them again: “However, being treated like this by the main midfielder of the world championship team actually shows that Qing Huan is quite powerful now. Moreover, the game lasts for 90 minutes, and it is impossible for the opponent to maintain such a rhythm defense all the time. There will always be a chance. It seems that Qinghuan is frozen now, but it does not mean that he will be frozen for the whole game…”
※※※
Although he was closely guarded by Ramirez, Zhang Qinghuan did not flinch, and continued to move in the game, looking for space and opportunities.
Although he still mostly used back passes and cross passes, he did not give up the idea of moving forward.
Whenever there is a chance, even the slightest chance, he will try to put the football in front.
However, due to the difference in strength between the two teams, coupled with the difference in their attitude towards this game-for the Madrid Pirates, they must win this game, because only by winning can they be qualified to look forward to the “Three” Crown”. So they will definitely go all out.
Their desire for the Copa del Rey is even more than Sarria…
Saria fought hard against the Madrid Pirates for almost 40 minutes.
In the past 40 minutes, they not only worked hard to find offensive opportunities, but were also tenacious in defense. Captain Rojo Calidos blocked Vukovic’s long-range shot in defense. He was hit in the chest and lay on the ground for several minutes before recovering.
The captain’s heroic performance boosted the team’s morale, so they were able to keep the 0-0 score almost half-time.
In this game, Sarria coach Arnaud Casas set up a formation of 541. It seemed that there was still a striker, but in fact it was 550 in the actual game, and the only striker had to withdraw to defend.
It was clear that Casas wanted to stop the Madrid Pirates with a bus, then dragged the game into extra time and then into a penalty shootout.
In the days before the game, Casas has been letting the team practice penalty kicks and arranges penalty kick training items every day.
If the weak Saria can drag the game into overtime, the balance of the outcome will actually be tilted towards Saria and the others. Can drag into the penalty shootout again, the mentality of the Madrid Pirates players will have a big problem.
And penalty kicks are more about mentality!
Casas’ tactical arrangement is very good, no problem.
It’s a pity that the Madrid Pirates have a person who can score goals and is especially good at breaking games.
※※※
In the 41st minute, Maxi Carey received Tonini’s cross in the penalty area.
He put the ball directly under his feet with a very good stop.
The ball was stopped so well that Saria’s defender captain Rojo Callidos was blown away by Kyrie’s stop.
Carey, who won a kick in the penalty area, immediately had the opportunity to directly threaten Saria’s goal!
The other Sarria players rushed towards him.
But Carey didn’t shoot, he quickly swung his legs, looking like he was shooting, but he flicked the ball with the outer instep of his left foot when he came to him!
The football just slipped through the gap between the two Sarria players!
Zhang Qinghuan did not run to participate in the action to contain Carey. When Carey received the ball, he ran to Hu Lai.
Anyway, regardless of whether Kyrie shot or passed the ball in the end, it was always right for him to run to guard Hu Lai.
Sure enough, let him bet right!
Carey chose to pass the ball to Hu Lai, who he did not deal with!
So when Hu Lai was about to catch the ball, Zhang Qinghuan bumped over and tackled the football at the same time!
He doesn’t seem to worry that this will shovel Hu Lai and let the Madrid Pirates win a penalty kick. He shovels very decisively!
But at the same time as he did, Hu Lai also took a step across, blocking the football, and then while being supported by Zhang Qinghuan’s tackle, his left foot swept the football towards the goal!
The others were indeed knocked down by Zhang Qinghuan, but the football also rolled over the goal line…
They both fell together.
Zhang Qinghuan, who was pressed down at the bottom, turned his head and saw that the football was already in the goal, and couldn’t help cursing: “Fuck!”
Hu Lai, who was on him, also saw the football in the goal. He got up from Brother Huan’s body and ran to the corner flag area with open arms without asking if Brother Huan was pressed by him.
“Hu Lai! Hu Lai -!! Here! He took the lead for the Madrid Pirates! He finally scored! The Madrid Pirates’ top scorer, Mr. Key! He continued his hot form this season!”
When the friends of Ren Changmei in front of the TV saw the goal, they collectively sighed.
I feel sorry for Zhang Qinghuan.
The roles of Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan were almost switched – Zhang Qinghuan would become the hero who saved the team’s fate…
In the VIP box at the scene~www.mtlnovel.com~ Xie Lan jumped up from her seat and raised her arms and shouted.
Then he went to Song Jiajia to give a high five.
Hu Lixin, on the other hand, has to be more reserved, just standing up to applaud his son’s goal, not as lively as his wife.
※※※
When Hu Lai landed with his signature celebratory gesture, Zhang Qinghuan had already climbed up from the ground.
Seeing Hu Lai’s figure as stable as Mount Tai when he landed, he was relieved in his heart – the shoveling on his supporting foot just now didn’t seem to have any negative impact on his ankle?
Then he put his hands on his hips and shook his head slightly.
Still scored by this kid!
