Chapter 243 About Zaragoza

When Chang Sheng returned home, he heard Lin Mo's reminder: "You have a new mission, Chang Sheng."

Chang Sheng quickly entered the system to check.

There is indeed an extra quest in the quest log.

Mission: King.

Task content: You brag in front of a child, say that you want to win the King's Cup, and prove to him that there are still miracles in this world... This is not an easy task, because Jonathan is right, whether it is Barcelona or Mallorca is not an easy opponent to beat. But you have a reason to do this, because in the eyes of your child, you are his hope to continue living. Good luck.

Objective: To win the King's Cup.

Mission reward: 1 million experience points!

Energy four hundred!

Training skills: [Elementary Stealing Special Training], [Elementary Endurance Special Training], [Elementary Strong Special Training], [Elementary Competition Training Tactics].

Competition skills: [Great Wall of Flesh].

Competition skill [Great Wall of Flesh and Flesh]? !

The last level of competition skills in the secondary system!

Chang Sheng was taken aback when he saw this.

He thought he was going to miss this skill.

So I was waiting here...

He secretly called luck.

If he had just given an autograph and asked Mediano to send it over for him, there would not be so many things later. He will not know what happened to the little fan who asked him for an autograph, nor will he understand his pessimism.

And if he didn't come with Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne didn't point out his fault. Then he would never think of using a King's Cup champion to bring hope to Jonathan.

Then he wouldn't have received such a mission, and wouldn't have had the chance to get the skill [Great Wall of Flesh and Flesh].

The origin of all this is just a thought of his at the beginning, and there are also many factors that work together. For example, Avril Lavigne, if there is no Avril Lavigne, maybe he will just give the autograph to the other party, although there will be some regrets in his heart,

But there is absolutely no thought of trying to fix the situation after a dead sheep.

He suddenly felt that this task system was a bit interesting.

A choice you make unintentionally. Coupled with various other factors, it is possible to trigger some tasks, not just for you to win the game.

There are many kinds of futures. According to his own heart, he chose such a kind, which brought him many benefits.

Since Chang Sheng said that he wanted to win the King's Cup. It is natural to work towards this goal. First of all, the semi-finals are a hurdle that must be faced.

He also has to study the opponent.

When he was watching the video of the Zaragoza game, he suddenly thought that if Getafe did not have himself, the Copa del Rey champion this season should be Zaragoza.

But now, it is clear that Zaragoza can no longer win the Copa del Rey, and they can't even make it to the final.

He can't remember many things about this season's Copa del Rey.

For example, he doesn't remember the specific process, and he doesn't remember who the two contestants were in the final.

But he still remembered who the final champion was.

It's Zaragoza.

The reason why I remember it is because Zaragoza participated in the UEFA Cup in the second season, but they were relegated in the league... They ranked last. The contrast is so great that it leaves a deep impression on people.

If it was Zaragoza a season ago, Chang Sheng really had to worry.

But now. He considered himself lucky.

A season ago, Zaragoza had won the fourth place in the league. It stands to reason that they should be able to participate in the Champions League. This is a remarkable achievement for Zaragoza.

But because Real Madrid defeated Valencia 3-0 in the Champions League final this season and won the Champions League, the fate of Zaragoza was rewritten in this way.

At that time Zaragoza ranked fourth in the league. Real Madrid is fifth.

According to the rules, the top four in La Liga can be qualified to participate in the Champions League next season, of which the third and fourth places will participate in the qualifying rounds, and the top two will directly participate in the main match.

Therefore, if Real Madrid does not win the Champions League, it will not qualify for the Champions League next season. For a giant like Real Madrid. This is also a great shame.

Fortunately, in the end Real Madrid won the Champions League.

But then came trouble.

Real Madrid is the champion of the Champions League. According to the rules, they can participate in the Champions League next season.

At the same time, the top four in the Spanish League are also eligible to participate in the Champions League next season.

But it is impossible for UEFA to give a country's league five Champions League places. At the same time, Real Madrid, as the defending champion, must appear in the UEFA Champions League next season... UEFA doesn't care, then only the Spanish Football Association can resolve it through internal negotiations.

Real Madrid's influence in Spain is unparalleled, and Zaragoza, who are fourth in the league, felt the pressure from the beginning. If there must be a team to stand up and make room for Real Madrid, then this team can only be the fourth-placed Zaragoza. It is impossible to make way for the third-ranked Valencia and the second-ranked Barcelona in the league, right? It is even more unlikely that the league champions Deportivo will make way.

But if Zaragoza insists on insisting that he is eligible to participate in the Champions League next season, things will become very difficult.

In the end, the Spanish royal family came forward to let Zaragoza carry forward its style.

The Spanish royal family has come forward, what else can Zaragoza do? Although there is a crown logo on the top of Real Madrid and Real Zaragoza, both are authentic "royal". But the Royals are also divided into big and small, and Real Madrid is obviously more important than Real Zaragoza.

Zaragoza can only carry forward their style, and just give up their hard-won Champions League qualification.

Real Madrid deserves to be the greatest team in European football. They replaced Zaragoza and they should have played from the qualifying rounds, but Real Madrid directly participated in the group stage. You must know that the same situation happened to Liverpool later. The 2005 Champions League champion Liverpool did not qualify for the Champions League in the league rankings. It stands to reason that Everton should follow the example of Zaragoza and carry forward the style.

But Everton and Liverpool are mortal enemies, how could they sacrifice themselves to fulfill their mortal enemies? So they are unwilling to give way to Liverpool, which makes UEFA very embarrassed.

The English Football Association does not cooperate with them like the Spanish Football Association. The Football Association makes it clear that it will not interfere and see UEFA's joke.

In the end, UEFA really couldn't help it. As a last resort, they issued a wild card to Liverpool and were additionally allowed to participate in the new season's Champions League. In this way, for the first time, a national league has five teams participating in the Champions League at the same time.

Originally, the English team had a strong momentum in the Champions League in those years, but now five teams have entered in one breath. That's still not upside down?

UEFA will never allow an English team to dominate the Champions League.

In addition, in order to teach Everton, who didn’t give them face, an unforgettable lesson, Everton was naturally killed by UEFA deliberately-they encountered a match that was in the limelight in the first round of qualifying. Real Real, was eliminated. This is the fate of offending UEFA.

Liverpool were drawn into a group with Chelsea. Created a precedent for teams from the same country to meet in the group stage. The explanation given by UEFA is that Liverpool is participating with a wild card and is not subject to this rule. But there were only four Premier League teams at the time, and it was easy to avoid. Even if wild cards are not restricted, it is still quite difficult to meet the other three Premier League teams in a group.

Unexpectedly, Liverpool really ran into Chelsea. Moreover, in those years, Mourinho's Chelsea and Benitez's Liverpool had deep grievances, and this encounter was naturally full of gimmicks. It would be hell if there was no human manipulation to intervene.

...

Speaking of Zaragoza.

After working hard for a season, he finally got fourth in the league and has the opportunity to participate in the Champions League next season. In the end, he was let out. This way of disqualification has dealt too much blow to the team.

They lost their qualification for the Champions League and lost their spirits because of it.

Since then, Zaragoza's performance has deteriorated year after year. In the first year, they finally ranked seventeenth in the league and almost relegated. Only one point difference.

In the second year, they finally got rid of it and were directly relegated, finishing last in the league.

And now is Zaragoza's first season of losing heart.

Meeting Zaragoza in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey was the weakest and best opponent Getafe could meet in the semi-finals. Otherwise it's Barcelona. Or Mallorca, enough to drink a pot.

Barcelona's strength is much stronger than Getafe, even Mallorca is not easy to deal with. Today's Mallorca is not the Mallorca of the future. Mallorca at the turn of the century, like Celta Vigo at the turn of the century, is a recognized strong team.

But now, their opponent in the semifinals is Zaragoza, which is much easier to deal with.

Although whether it is Barcelona or Mallorca, they will always meet in the final. But meeting in the final is a completely different concept from meeting in the semi-finals.

When they meet in the final, the whole team can fight bravely in the game with the mentality of "Since I have come to the final, why don't you try to win the championship?"

But in the semi-finals, when they encountered an enemy that was too powerful, it was difficult for the players to muster up the courage to fight against it.

In the semi-finals, if you lose, you lose. In the end, you will win the semi-finals, and the results are not bad.

Anyway, they didn't make it to the final, so there was no unreasonable desire for the championship. There is still a way out, once you reach the final, there is no way out. It must be the championship. Who came to the finals to see the runner-up?

Of course, these two semi-finals may not be particularly big. After all, Zaragoza didn't get anything this season, and the Copa del Rey is their last straw. If you want to appear in the European arena next season, the Copa del Rey must win.

For a small team like Zaragoza, they value the Copa del Rey and European qualifications not just because of honor, or most of the reasons are not for honor.

But for money.

There is a bonus for the King's Cup winner. If you can participate in European competitions such as the UEFA Cup next season, you will also receive corresponding bonuses.

With this money, the Spanish small and medium-sized teams, whose living conditions have always been harsh, can live a little easier.

money. For football clubs, it is something that attracts them more than championship honors.

Therefore, Zaragoza will not lose their fighting spirit in this game, on the contrary, their fighting spirit will be very strong.

This is the tough side.

But for Getafe who has gone through such a season, this difficulty of "difficult to play" is really too common...

In the desire for the championship, Getafe is not weaker than Zaragoza.

The degree of desire for money, Getafe is not lost to Zaragoza...

※※※

Facing Zaragoza. Chang Sheng will not let his team blindly defend, because the opponent's strength is not particularly strong.

Getafe's counter attack will play an important role in these two games.

Before the game, the game skills that Changsheng released were all offensive skills. They are [Sharp Counterattack] and [Flying with Both Wings], which are the same as those used when playing against Atletico Madrid.

He wants to use a sharp counterattack to eliminate Zaragoza, and he doesn't want to waste too much time on an opponent like Zaragoza.

※※※

a day later. Getafe's Copa del Rey semi-final against Zaragoza at home.

The Alfonso Perez Stadium was once again packed.

Although the economic situation is not very good, the fans of Getafe still give their team the greatest support.

During this period of home games, the attendance rate is very high.

In the semi-final of the Copa del Rey, although Getafe fans don't think their team can reach the final or even win the championship trophy.

But they still came to the stadium to support their team.

This support has nothing to do with winning or losing.

Perhaps they just saw this game as a celebration, celebrating the team's successful promotion to the first division.

This can be seen from the slogans held by the fans, most of them are aimed at the league.

Not many people really take the Copa del Rey to heart.

※※※

Jonathan Lewis is one of those few.

When the game was half an hour before it started, he was already standing in front of the TV.

At this time, he was lying on the sofa in the living room. On the TV in front of him, the host was analyzing the lineups of the two teams with the invited experts. Then analyze the winning percentage geometry of the two teams.

Although it is a home game, the host and guests are not optimistic about Getafe.

The reasons they give are also very good.

"...In the league that just ended, Getafe went through a tough fight to beat Atletico Madrid away. This is certainly worthy of congratulations, but it also cast a shadow on Getafe's King's Cup game. This huge ecstasy It will cause the players to be weak, to put it bluntly. They will lose their fighting spirit and motivation. This season they have qualified for promotion in the league and won the league championship. For them, the great success in the league can completely make up for everything. In comparison with the league, the Copa del Rey is dispensable."

"Psychological lack of motivation is the biggest problem. In addition, physical fatigue is also obvious. After a long and ups and downs season, the physical fitness of the players must not be very good. Before they were able to persist with their teeth. Then, just relying on that breath of breath. But now? The task is completed, all the breath will be vented, and huge fatigue will sweep over, and the physical fitness of the players will plummet, as if being held together by something It sucked it off in an instant."

"Zaragoza is the opposite. They have failed so badly this season. The glory of fourth in the league last season has receded. Now they are empty-handed. They have only one Copa del Rey left to fight for. Zaragoza will definitely not Let’s miss this great opportunity. If they meet Barcelona or Mallorca in the semi-finals, they may have to raise their hands and surrender, but if they meet a second-tier team, they will definitely have ideas...Strong fighting spirit , the desire to win is strong, and the strength is not weaker than Getafe, I think Zaragoza has the upper hand..."

"Physical and mental fatigue will cause Getafe's players to perform abnormally in this game. Even playing at home will not save them!"

Finally, the expert guests came to such a firm conclusion.

Jonathan Mejia felt that these guests were right.

Fatigue will be the team's biggest problem, mentally as well as physically.

And Zaragoza's desire to win is indeed stronger than Getafe's. Even if Changsheng has the desire to win, what about the Getafe players? They have already achieved the biggest goal of the season, why should they continue to work hard?

Playing Atletico Madrid in the last round of the league, the reason why they were able to fight against Atletico Madrid on the premise of winning the league championship is because they want to avenge Changsheng.

There is no grievance between Zaragoza and Chang Sheng. Before this game, they didn't even have an intersection.

He still does not believe that Getafe can create miracles, because it is too difficult.

But when the game came, he still couldn't help but let his parents hug him on the sofa and wait for the game to start.

It's hard to explain this complicated mood clearly.

Perhaps it is really like what Chang Sheng said, there is a faint hope sprouting in his desperate heart.

Live with hope and expectation until you die...
