Chapter 610 Cassie Was Accidentally Injured by His Teammates
It is important to have a distinctive name, at least it can leave a deeper impression on people. This is true for people, and so is football.
The five major European leagues have their own cups. Among them, the chief cups of Italy, Germany and France are all called the "FA Cup" following the trend. Most countries in the world are also called this way, but England and Spain are exceptions.
Therefore, among today's cup competitions, the FA Cup and King's Cup are the most influential member country cups, and they are also the most famous among all the 'FA Cups', ranking first and second respectively. The uniqueness of their names plays a very important factor here.
Of course, hard power is the foundation. The FA Cup and Copa del Rey are fundamentally based on the prosperity and football standards of the Premier League and La Liga. Without the guarantee of strength, even if the Chinese Football Association Cup is renamed the Xiaomoxian Cup, it will still remain unknown.
The format of the Copa del Rey is not much different from that of other national cups. It is a two-round knockout system, but the schedule is more unique. The four countries of England, Italy, Germany and France basically arrange their cup matches evenly throughout their respective leagues, while the Copa del Rey concentrates on the most important 1/1 around January each year and then waits for the end-of-season finals.
This also results in the situation that if the schedule happens to happen and the Copa del Rey encounters the league, the two teams will play three games in a row. In his fourth year in La Liga, Zhuoyang has encountered the coincidence of three consecutive games with Sevilla and Getafe in Barcelona, and it was the same with Real Madrid and Valencia this year.
Fighting each other three times in seven days is a bit tired no matter how you look at it. Especially in the third game, it is difficult to arouse much freshness from both sides. However, Real Madrid's consecutive battle with Valencia was a little different this time. The 0:3 win at the Bernabeu seven days ago and the Mestalla match four days ago had a bit of retribution.
0:3 cannot represent the true strength comparison between the two sides. At halftime, from the mentality of both sides to the tactical strategies, today's game is also very different from three days ago.
Three days ago, although the goal was not to win a big game, in an ordinary league, it would be good to win, 1:0, 2:1, both are acceptable, the most important thing is 3 points.
But today's game is the quarter-round of the Copa del Rey. Because of the 0:3 debt seven days ago, Real Madrid must beat Valencia by more than three goals if they want to advance. This is obviously much more complicated.
Real Madrid's starting lineup today only made one change compared to three days ago. Benzema replaced Higuain at the front. I didn’t make any mistakes in my last session with my vaping, so this rotation is an equal measure. Ramos and Khedira are still suspended, and Pepe is still recovering, so the remaining ten positions remain the same.
Valencia was completely changed. Banega and Gago, the two core players in the midfield, were bullied into a dog by the Zhuo Tu brothers in the last game. They were as lame as amateur players. Today they are sitting on the bench in disgrace.
In particular, Gago suffered a major crime. He lost control in front of the penalty area and allowed Zhuoyang to do whatever he wanted. This was one of the important reasons why Valencia was defeated at halftime. Today he and Banega were replaced by Victor Ruiz and Vieira.
Forward Soldado also did not play. Barron's starting center was Paraguayan Nelson Valdez, the former Dortmund striker who caused great suffering to the Chinese team in the first game of the World Cup in South Africa. Neba is super fast, making it clear that today is going to be a counterattack against Real Madrid.
Even the goalkeeper was replaced by Vincent Guaita, who conceded six goals in the half. Diego Alves had to take a break.
.
Three days ago, Zhuo Yang impressed the bat fans here with his wonderful and coquettish performance, which finally turned their boos into applause of admiration. The Spanish people admire the strong. When the stadium DJ read Zhuo Yang's name today, there was still applause. Although it was not as hot as three days ago, the applause before the game said it all.
Zhuoyang also lived up to Mestalla's love,
Only two minutes into the game, he stole Vieira in the backcourt, drove straight in, and then sent a through ball to Ronaldo's ribs.
The president shook Lamy away and volleyed into the near corner, but Guaita pounced and then hit the post. The angle of the shot was tricky enough, and Guaita's ability to save it was most likely due to luck, and Real Madrid almost got off to a good start.
But when it comes to luck, Real Madrid is obviously not too prosperous today.
In the 7th minute, Neba broke through and won a corner kick. Real Madrid's set-piece defense is relatively weak. This is something everyone knows very well. Both the offense and defense are very nervous at this moment.
After Vieira came out, he caused chaos in the center of the penalty area. He jumped, bumped, and pulled. He made all kinds of moves, but no one could effectively control the landing point.
Captain Casillas was very brave, diving into the crowd and grabbing the ball with one hand;
Arbeloa was very decisive and turned around to save the ball.
Arbeloa succeeded. He kicked Cassie directly in the hand, which not only saved the ball, but also caused the Cassie to cry in pain.
The game was interrupted for four minutes, and in the end, Casillas, whose fingers were swollen to carrots, was replaced by second goalkeeper Adan.
Cassie was very frustrated. If Zidane hadn't reminded him, he almost forgot to hand over the armband to Detu. However, Casey never imagined at this time what impact this injury would have on his career.
They lost their captain at the start, which was obviously not a good sign and made Real Madrid people cautious. Because Valencia had a three-goal advantage in the first round and the lessons learned three days ago, they stationed troops in the midfield and backcourt to fight Real Madrid's counterattack very resolutely.
Mourinho, who is good at setting up buses, met a fellow driver who was setting up buses, but he couldn't do anything for a while.
Obviously, Valencia will maintain conservative tactics throughout the game. It doesn't matter if Real Madrid scores two goals. Unless Real Madrid leads by three goals, they will only choose to retreat.
And once they can use defense to steal one, the game will be extremely difficult for Real Madrid.
Head coach Pellegrino's tactics are very Mourinho-like, so Valencia not only defends resolutely, but also counterattacks as sharply as Real Madrid. They are also a strong team in their own right and can be used as a reference for today.
Valencia doesn't have many counterattacks, but once it's formed, it's a threat. In the 27th minute, Coentrao was forced to tackle from behind in order to prevent Jonas from counterattacking. To be honest, the yellow card was a sign of mercy from referee Velasco.
On the other hand, the Mexican winger Almighty Guardardo, who switched to playing as a winger today, usually gets a red card when he knocks down Zhuoyang, and Mr. Velasco only showed a yellow card.
The game continued until the end of the first half, and the score was still 0:0. The rhythm of the game was broken and the viewing experience was poor.
In the 44th minute, Valencia avenged the goalpost in the first two minutes. Neba's long shot bypassed Adan's fingertips and hit the joint between the crossbar and the post.
But at this moment, Real Madrid's luck returned, because after the football bounced back from far away, it just flew to Zhuoyang's feet.
He raised his right foot high to stop the ball, and his left foot dug into the depth of the turf. With one leg rooted, Vieira, who was coming from behind, hit Zhuoyang's back like a steel plate, making Vieira's eyes flash with stars.
The stars were still shining brightly, but Zhuo Yang had already turned around and left. Real Madrid instantly formed Ronaldo and Zhuo Yang's three-pointer in the Barron half.
The two central defenders plus the goalkeeper were just three against three. Real Madrid had the best chance of the half, and the big guys would not waste it.
This time, Ronaldo did not get Zhuo Yang's favor, and it was Benzema who took advantage. For no other reason, who made Zhuo Yang just finish the stewed rabbit invited by Zidane.
