Mister Legend

Chapter 589

In a flash of time, it came to the beginning of February. On the morning of the 4th, Li Mudi sent his parents, wife and daughter to board the flight to Beijing, and then went directly to the team's training ground. Prepare for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final in the evening.

The Spring Festival in 2025 is at the end of January. The first day of the new year coincides with the start of the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals. The Real Madrid coach must lead the team to an away game, so Li's father and Li's mother had no choice but to Leaving the farm in Mallorca for the holidays here in Madrid.

Moreover, because Li Mudi is very busy with work and rarely has free time to stay at home, and Lin Yuner will also take Xiao Xiyin back to East Asia to deal with the business of the film and television company and reunite with family members in Kimchi Country, the two old people simply put The original plan to return to China to visit relatives was advanced, and their son once again lived a miserable life of staying alone in an empty house.

Fortunately, after this period of time, Real Madrid's performance is still relatively good, which can be regarded as bringing some comfort to Li Mudi, otherwise this New Year will be too sad.

After defeating Celta Vigo 2-0 at home in the first leg, Galactico used the strategy of actively controlling the ball to kill the opponent a week later at the Baledos Stadium, and won a 0-0 away game [-] and advanced to the semi-finals relatively easily.

Coincidentally, Real Madrid's league opponent in the following weekend is still Celta Vigo, nicknamed Sky Blue or Olive Tree (as the locals call themselves), but the venue has become the Bernabéu, otherwise the team can There is no need to return to Madrid, I have been staying in Galicia until the end of the weekend game before going home.

However, the advantages brought by the home court in football, a competitive sport, cannot be underestimated. Although Li Moody, who strictly follows the rotation system, has a big difference in the two starting lineups within four days, the overall level of strength remains roughly the same. to a considerable extent.

And after the away game was 0-0, Real Madrid, who returned to their home, used almost exactly the same tactics to win a 4-0 victory. Tower's kick hit the goal and failed to get it. Ukrainian national goal Andrei Lunin even had to do warm-up actions in front of the goal often to maintain enough tension.

In this situation, it is hard to believe that the two teams had played a draw four days ago. The huge gap between the two teams can be easily noticed even by people who do not understand the game. Real Madrid sent Pellegri and two young players who are still looking for a feeling early, and it is likely to create a massacre.

After the game, Celta coach Aspas, who was a Real Madrid supporter in his player days, told the reporters who interviewed him that he was convinced of the loss and learned a lot from Coach Li. This new knowledge is integrated to enhance the strength of the team.

Not long after, Li Mudi took advantage of his rare free time to carefully check the current situation of various teams in La Liga through the FM system, and accidentally discovered that Aspas had included his name in his personal information column. In the list of people, this kind of situation is very rare for people who are neither relatives or friends and have never worked together. It can't help but make the Real Madrid coach feel a sense of pride in his heart.Could it be that domineering aura or charisma, which are common attributes in novels, are finally going to show up in him?While he was secretly happy, he might as well have made such fanciful guesses.

Not to mention how excited Li Modi was because of this discovery, he turned his attention to the leader of La Liga.After ending the undefeated gold in the league this season, the Galaxy battleship set sail again and made a relatively ideal start. Not only did they reach the semi-finals of the domestic cup, but they also won two consecutive victories in the league.

They first visited Villarreal, which was in the middle of the European competition, with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal, which is currently competing for a place in the European competition. Under the heavy pressure of a wave of victories and hard-fought pursuit, they passed through a dangerous schedule fairly smoothly, and maintained their advantage in the deathmatch for the top position.

On February 2th, Real Madrid went to the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final and went to the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, which may bring them the most painful memories, to challenge Sevilla, one of their biggest sufferers. Team.

This football club located in the capital of the Andalusia Autonomous Region in the southernmost part of Spain, although it has only won the La Liga championship once in history (1945-46 season), it has won five European Leagues (including the UEFA Cup). A three-peat, and is widely known all over the world.Because of this, the fans of Tianchao nicknamed the name of the second largest European club competition the Sevilla Cup, and while joking, they also recognized the strength of this team.

However, for Spanish football and the Meilingers, the reason why this team nicknamed "The Washbasin" can occupy the ranks of the second-tier strong teams for a long time is that they can maintain the league rankings from third to third all year round. Apart from the eighth place, it is naturally due to the performance that they can often make the top two of the Western Super League, especially the Galaxy Battleship.

1939-40赛季的联赛揭幕战当中，坐镇主场的塞维利亚曾经以11比1狂虐过巴塞罗那，比皇马还要早三年品尝过这种无比幸福的感觉，仅次于毕尔巴鄂竞技在1931年创造的巴萨俱乐部历史上最大比分的输球纪录（12比1，当场比赛巴斯克雄狮使用了现代人难以想象的2-3-5阵型，其中本土前锋巴塔一人独中七元）。

This also explains why Barcelona played desperately every time they met Sevilla in later generations, as if they had met their father and enemy. As a result, in the history of the battle between the two sides, the former's winning rate was almost 80%. Obviously not Their normal level of performance should be reflected.However, only relying on the 11-1 game more than [-] years ago, the Andalusian capital team is qualified to always speak with its head held high in front of Barcelona.

As for the history of the war with Real Madrid, it showed exactly the opposite situation.In the 50s and 5s, although Sevilla also had a 0-4, 0-[-] victory over the Galaxy Battleship at its peak, in more cases, there were still Di Stefano, Real Madrid with superstars like Puskas can have the last laugh.Overall, as a result of the direct confrontation between the two sides, the Madrid team has a huge advantage.

However, when the time came to the 2003-04 season, Real Madrid, which was in the gradual collapse of the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, seemed to be cast by some magical curse by the opponent. In more games, he was in a suppressed situation.

As of the end of last season, Real Madrid has only achieved 54 wins, 27 draws and 6 losses in the last 21 matches against this opponent. Although it is still the dominant side, the winning rate and scoring rate are already the bottom of their respective statistics. has existed, and even slightly inferior to the Madrid Derby in terms of winning percentage.

Especially at the Pisjuan Stadium, they have not been able to gain a victory here for nine consecutive years. Even Barcelona's Camp Nou has not been able to make the best football club of the last century so aggrieved.

It can be said that the Meilingers are afraid and hate this field. Even though their team ushered in the best coach in today's football, in most people's hearts, they are still very happy about this away trip. It is difficult to have confidence in victory, because the influence of past history is too great.

However, Li Moody did not change his habitual rotation policy because of the pressure brought by his opponent, and also wrote Pellegri's name in the starting list, so that this new aid who spent a lot of money on the club can finally get rid of the continuous Destiny came off the bench.

It is precisely because of the arrival of the first milestone of "Mr. 500 million", that the popularity of this battle that has already attracted the attention of the national media and fans has risen by more than one level, and it has become the whole of this week. A hot topic in Europe.

Quite a few of them predict that Real Madrid, which has not shown its full strength, may still be unable to end the spell of invincibility in Pisjuan, and there is even a high probability of losing a game, because it has been 14 years. Sevilla, who can aspire to the Copa del Rey, will definitely do their best in the next two semi-finals of the domestic cup when the league title is definitely hopeless and the European League journey is full of various uncertainties.There is an obvious difference in the degree of investment between the two parties, coupled with the vague relationship of restraint, it may be really difficult for Li Moody to take care of multiple fronts in his plan.

However, when the game officially started, people were surprised to find that Real Madrid was the dominant side.

The home team has achieved 22 wins, 12 draws and 5 losses in the first 5 rounds of the league, temporarily ranking fourth in the standings. It should be said that the performance is still satisfactory.Their tactics do not need to control more possession of the ball, but focus on the speed in the transition of offense and defense, especially the quick assault on the two sides, so it is often seen that this team only won a big victory in the game. Less than [-]% or even less of the ball possession time, this style of play really helps them to perform better when facing strong opponents.

Having defeated Real Madrid many times before, they made full use of the space behind the latter at the full-back position, and hit Huanglong successfully with consecutive sharp counterattacks.

However, correspondingly, when encountering a weak team that mainly focuses on defensive tactics, occasionally they will encounter a situation where they cannot take all three points because their own characteristics cannot be fully utilized.

But fortunately, Sevilla, similar to Atletico Madrid, also has a tradition of cultivating excellent shooters. In the past many years, such as Dave Suker, Zamorano, Brazilian Fabiano, French international Gameiro and Ben Yedder is an all-round forward who can play extremely efficiently, so that this team does not need to worry about its own offensive firepower most of the time.

It's just that in today's game, Li Moody sent a rare 3-5-2 formation, allowing the combination of three central defenders and two wing backs to make up for all the loopholes in the team's defense. After Llos, Febas and Valverde, three central midfielders with good ball control ability, fully controlled the situation in the midfield.

Moreover, the wingbacks on both sides are very cautious in their assists. When one side advances, the teammates on the other side will never overwhelm the half court easily, so that the team's defense line can be kept relatively intact at any time, so that the home team does not have many players. There is no way to fight back.

Of course, Real Madrid's doing so also makes their offense face the problem of too few troops. In most of the time, there are only two midfielders and one wing back forward for Couch and Pellegri. Providing support, the pressure formed is obviously unable to break through the defense line of the home team, which can be called the bottom of Europe's first-rate and the top of the second-rate.

However, when the two sides were in a stalemate in the game, the new center forward of the visiting team used his very bold but imaginative shooting method to help the new club knock on the door to victory, making people quickly forget him The embarrassment of wasting a lot of opportunities when he came off the bench many times before, the approval rate among Meilinger has also risen linearly.

No.601 minutes, Real Madrid's right corner kick was pushed out by the home team's French central defender Niagnon. Fabas, who got the second point outside the penalty area, split the side directly, making Couch, who had just kicked off, retreated. Got a second chance to kick the ball.This time, he chose an extremely fast half-high pass, hoping to create chaos in the penalty area and see if his teammates can find any opportunities to take advantage of.

In the corner kick tactics, Pellegri, who was originally in the middle, suddenly rushed to the front point at this time, which caught all players on the field, including his teammates, a little caught off guard.When he ran half a step inward from the corner of the small penalty area, he just hit the ball from the winning side. Just when everyone thought he wanted to stop the ball in this very difficult situation, the Italian striker quickly took off with force. He raised his right leg and used the front of the calf bone to complete an irregular block shot. After the ball rebounded, it went directly to the inside of the near post as if it had been calculated according to precision.

Due to the fact that many players in front of the goal blocked the line of sight, and the Real Madrid striker's attack was too sudden, Sevilla goalkeeper Brian Keane, despite his height and long arms and quick response to save actions, was still unable to complete the goal. blockage.The French midfielder Ibrahim Amadou, who had just been guarding the side post from a defensive angle, happened to have left to mark someone else, allowing Pellegri's very unusual shot to be transformed into an extremely exciting goal. , stunned nearly [-] fans of the home team who came to watch the game.

Although striker Miguel Martin also took advantage of a set-piece to tie the score after 15 minutes, the 1-1 finish score was enough for Li Moody to be satisfied. The prospect of Real Madrid's second-leg duel in front of their home two weeks later is bright. As for failing to break the curse of away games, what is it?

After the game, the focus of the outside world was not on Galactico, who had visited Pisjuan eleven times in a row and was unable to win a game. Everyone began to praise Pellegri's genius in the game, thinking that this It is the most beautiful goal born so far in the major European leagues in 2025.

But just four days later, the evaluation changed, but the scorer was still the Italian.

In the No.20 three rounds of La Liga against Valladolid at home, Pellegri scored a goal 10 minutes after he came off the bench. It was a super long-range world wave about 32 meters away from the goal, which was almost perfectly copied. The miracle of Ronaldo winning the Puskas Award in 2009.

Two stunned goals were scored in four days, and the methods were quite different. No wonder the French media named the striker a "World Wave Spokesperson". real stuff!
