Chinese champion

Chapter 200 The Crucial Battle
After leaving Changsha, although Pei Wei rushed back to Mallorca in the early morning of the 2nd, Manzano still firmly did not let him play, not even let him on the bench, Pei Wei sat in the stands and watched The result of Mallorca's home game against Malaga made him very happy. Eto'o's two beautiful goals made Mallorca beat their opponents 1:[-] at home and continue to put pressure on Valencia, who is the top of the list.

Valencia defeated Real Betis 2-0 at home without any suspense, leading the pack with 74 points, and the unlucky Real Madrid seems to have not recovered from the blow of their old rival Barcelona at home in the last round. Suffered two consecutive losses in the away game, lost to Deportivo 0:2, the points stayed at 70 points, and the second position was taken away by Mallorca with 72 points.

Pei Wei felt a little ashamed when he returned to the training ground and faced his teammates. After all, he returned to China to participate in an unimportant game when the club needed him most. What kind of dissatisfaction? After all, Mallorca won the game without him, and Pei Wei, who felt ashamed, took the initiative to invite the whole team to eat at the best local restaurant in Mallorca after the training. He paused to express his guilt.

In fact, within Mallorca, there are still some dissatisfied voices against Pei Wei. At least the chairman of Mallorca, Alemani, once complained in front of Manzano that Pei Wei does not take the interests of the club at heart.

Manzano was speaking for Pei Wei: "Mr. Chairman, I think it's best not to spread this kind of complaint. You know, Pei has contributed enough to the club. Look at his statistics in the game. The whole team Almost half of the goals scored are related to him, and his role in the team is even greater than that of Samuel! And his salary can only be regarded as the upper middle of the team... We are now There is still a chance to win the championship, he has made a lot of efforts, don't you want to win the first league championship trophy in the history of the Mallorca club?"

Alemani has nothing to say. For such a player who plays a pivotal role in the team, and the club's contribution is obviously out of proportion to his contribution, sometimes it is impossible to coddle a little...

"And..." Manzano changed the subject: "The game against Real Madrid is coming soon. If we can win this game, the remaining two games will not be a problem for us. It's enough for Rencia to make mistakes, and if we don't win this game, we can only watch the best chance in our history slip away. Will we have such a good chance next year? ? Now you can't say anything that affects team morale?"

Alemani was horrified. If he really lost the game because of criticizing Pei Wei, then the fans who have been eager for the championship for decades have not broken his old bones: "Don't! Gregorio... just When I don't say anything, you go and lead the team, these old guys on our board are waiting to see a league championship trophy before they go to the ground!"

Manzano smiled and turned to leave, but Alemani stopped him again: "Gregorio... can we win this game?"

Manzano paused, and said without turning his head: "No team dared to say before the game that they would be able to get out of Bernardwood... all I have to do is not leave any regrets! "

**********************************
On May 5, that is, six days later, the majestic Bernardo Stadium in Madrid, the capital of Spain, ushered in Mallorca and his party.

Although it is not the first time to come to Bernawood to compete, Pei Wei still can't calm down. After all, this is the first time that he and the Mallorca team come here with the belief of winning the league championship. ah!
Looking at the beautiful night view of Madrid outside the hotel, Pei Wei couldn't help calling Zhu Jun.

"Haha! I knew you would call me. Why, do you want to bribe me to let Seville help you stop Valencia?" Zhu Jun's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Damn!" Pei Wei took a sip: "Don't you guys want to win? The tickets for the UEFA Cup are waiting for you. Now Deportivo and Villarreal are competing with you. Don't you think so?" Not even a single point!"

"Okay, okay, don't pretend to be arrogant, let us win and say, can you win Real Madrid yourself? Don't lose the championship because you don't live up to it!"

"Who dares to say that he will definitely win Real Madrid in Bernawood? We can only say that we will try our best to win. The game should be played or how it should be played. Next year, there may not be such a good opportunity. I want to stay for Mallorca. Order something." Pei Wei said softly.

Zhu Jun was silent for a while: "Actually, you are really happy. You have left enough things for Mallorca, the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Cup... What about me? I haven't left one for Sevilla yet." The trophy..."

"Don't say that, haven't you reached the final of this year's King's Cup? Come on, win this championship!" Pei Wei said enthusiastically.

"Just kidding... Our opponent is also Real Madrid... and this year is their first match, and the venue for the Copa del Rey final is in Bernawood. To be honest, we don't have many chances." Zhu Jun said with a wry smile.

"What's the matter, what's the matter at home, what's the matter with the celebration, isn't there 22 players playing on the field? I'm optimistic about you, you will definitely win!" Pei Wei cheered him up.

"Are you really optimistic about us?" Zhu Jun said cunningly: "Then buy us to win, buy more, I bet 20 on our team."

"Damn! You actually gamble! Do you still look like a professional player?" Pei Wei was really angry.

"What kind of gambling? I bet on the lottery of a European gaming company, which is legal! The odds of our team winning the championship are 1 to 1, 65. If I win, I can earn almost [-] euros after deducting taxes." Zhu Jun Said triumphantly.

"What should I do if I lose?" Pei Wei said dumbfounded.

"Bah bah bah! Crow's mouth, who said just now that he has confidence in us, don't talk to you, remember, go and press us to win!" Zhu Jun hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Pei Wei also put down the phone, and it took a while to understand: "What's the matter, didn't I call him to help stop Valencia? Why did I comfort him first, and then was persuaded by him to buy a lottery ticket? Isn’t this question too far gone?”

At this time, Zhu Jun, who put down the phone, was snickering: "The coach told us to save our strength and go to the King's Cup. How could it be possible for us to fight with Valencia? Even if I think about it, I can't do it. If you want to win this season, you still have to rely on yourself Well, fortunately, I diverted the topic away, why am I so smart..."

In any case, Real Madrid's home game against Mallorca started on time at the Bernabeu Stadium at 15 o'clock the next night. Tower attacked and scored a goal, and then they relied on a solid defense to support Sevilla's *like offense for 10 minutes. Before the end, Baraja broke the opponent's goal again in a counterattack and won 2:0. this crucial game.

Zhu Jun's performance is nothing to say. In the game, his effective breakthroughs reached double digits, but his crosses were resolved one by one by Valencia's experienced defense, and several shots came back without success.

Valencia's victory has put the pressure on Mallorca and Real Madrid suddenly heavy. Now they have five and seven points ahead of Mallorca and Real Madrid respectively, which also indicates that this game must be a tragic competition. , A draw is meaningless to both sides, only by winning can they bite their opponents tightly.

************************************************
The sound insulation effect of the Bernardwood Stadium is very good-at least the Mallorca players can't hear the loud shouts of the fans outside the stadium, only Manzano's voice reaches their ears sentence by sentence.

"We don't need to be afraid! Yes, they are at home and they are giants. But what about us? We have players who are not inferior to giants, and the enthusiasm of our fans is definitely not worse than their fans. I know how many horses there are today. Did Lorca fans come to the Bernabeu? Thirteen thousand! Yes, don't be surprised, this is a record for the number of fans traveling with the team to an away game in the history of Mallorca. The seats provided by Real Madrid to our fans There are only 5 fans, and the remaining 1 fans bought tickets for this game at a high price from other channels. They just want to see how we can remove this obstacle on the way to the championship! You have to have confidence! Now Real Madrid has started to go downhill. The Champions League did not even make it to the semi-finals. They were turned over by Monaco in France. That old guy Queiroz has been an assistant coach for a long time. He is no longer suitable for the head coach and dare not use it boldly. The rotation system is his biggest failure! Although their players are all superstars, they are exhausted from continuous battles. We have an absolute advantage in terms of physical strength! And after Hierro left, they have not found a reliable defensive core. That kid Wen is a complete piece of rubbish! Absolutely can’t stop us from attacking, today our task is to attack, attack and attack! Last year we beat them [-]:[-] here, I hope to see this scene again today! Today we played the most Alright players, let's go lads, let's show the world that we are the best now!"

The provocative language made the players' blood boil, not for anything else, but for the [-] fans who bought tickets at a high price, we have to give a good performance!
"Kill them!" Nadal raised his arms and shouted, leading the other players out of the locker room together!
The Bernabeu Stadium was full in this game, [-] Real Madrid fans and [-] Mallorca fans packed this historic stadium to the brim. It was insane, their shouts in unison almost suppressed the voices of the overwhelmingly superior Real Madrid fans.

Real Madrid also played their best. Queiroz, who had no way out, used all the chips in his hands. The six superstars, including Zidane and Raul who were slightly injured, all played. Real Madrid's desire to win this game was fully revealed .

Real Madrid's lineup (4-4-2): goalkeeper Iker Casillas, defenders are Roberto Carlos, Pavon, Elger LS Elgado, midfielder Cambiasso, Beckham, left Central midfielder Zidane, right central midfielder Figo, forwards Ronaldo and captain Raul.

Mallorca lineup (4-3-2-1): goalkeeper Bolano, defender Wang Xiaomin, captain Nadal, Nino and Potenza, midfielder Ismail, Ibagaza, Campano, Pei Wei and Garcia, ahead of striker Samuel Eto'o.

In the player tunnel, the players did not make a sound, and the expressions of the players in Real Madrid were very dignified. Real Madrid, which has invested a lot of money this year, was originally aiming at the treble this season, and was going to add a few points to the club's success. Who knows that in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, they actually capsized in the away game, won by Monaco 3:1, were eliminated because of the lack of away goals, and suddenly lost the chain at the most critical moment of the league, After the two-game losing streak, Valencia has been left behind by four points. Even if they win this game today, it will be difficult to catch up with Valencia. In this way, all they can pursue is a tasteless Copa del Rey , How can such a result satisfy the club leaders?

The expressions of the Mallorca players are calm. Under the adjustment of Manzano, they have been able to play this game with a fanatical but calm attitude. Got a head start.

"This is a crucial game, but I have never been so confident to win." Manzano, smoking a cigar, leaned on the awning and watched the players on the field against Fairlane next to him. Duo said: "Three years of recuperation is for this year's championship. Mallorca has never been as strong as it is now."

The captains of both sides chose sides, and Mallorca kicked off first.

The referee blew the whistle to start the game, Pei Wei passed the ball back from Garcia to Ismail behind him, and then accelerated to run forward.

The game is on!

Ismail dunked and pulled the ball, calmly shook off Ronaldo who was coming up to press, and then passed the ball to Wang Xiaomin who was in the back.

Let's go!Go attack!
