Chapter 357

Real Madrid's defeat away to Valencia grabbed the headlines the next day, alongside Barcelona's draw.

After the Great War of the Century, the two giants of La Liga were in a sluggish state. They failed to win the league, which cheered up the fans who were used to their victories.

It's just that after Barcelona was tied by Villarreal on the second day, all the fans regretted expressing their opinions on this.

"This may be the last mistake made by Real Madrid this season, and it is also the only chance for Barcelona to catch up. It is a pity that Guardiola's team failed to seize this opportunity."

People always sympathize with the weak, and now compared to Real Madrid, which has ruled La Liga for three consecutive years, Barcelona is more expected by fans.Most La Liga fans hope that Guardiola can break Real Madrid's monopoly, but unfortunately, it failed in the end.

After this league game, everyone knew that the general situation was over. Although there were still three rounds in the league, with Real Madrid's strength, it was impossible not to score two points.

Real Madrid fans have even celebrated their No.30 and two La Liga titles arrogantly.It's just that before that, they still need to compete for the team's No. 18 King's Cup championship.

In the entire football world, only Real Madrid has this kind of glory. The Champions League, domestic cups, and league championships are all in double digits.And this series of data also proves Real Madrid's well-deserved football dominance.

This time the Copa del Rey final held at the Calderon Stadium can be regarded as half of Real Madrid's home court. After all, they are all in Madrid, and it is convenient for Real Madrid fans to cheer.Even the fans of Atletico Madrid have called for giving Real Madrid a good look in their own stadiums, but not many people are optimistic that Athletic Bilbao can win the championship.

But even so, no one at Real Madrid underestimated the fighting spirit of their opponents. Athletic Bilbao, as the traditional power of La Liga, the sturdy Basques will always cause enough trouble for the noble Real Madrid.

In the seventh round of League No.20, he defeated Real Madrid 4:2 at home, breaking the 24-round unbeaten record of Real Madrid.Without his sniping at that time, Real Madrid would have been able to end the league war before the war of the century.Barcelona, ​​which has no hope, is absolutely impossible to die at the Bernabeu and Real Madrid.

There is neither too much nor too little historical animosity between the two sides, but before the finals, the media will definitely be able to dig out old accounts to create animosity between the two sides and make the game full of gimmicks.They don't want the ratings of a highly anticipated final to be lower than that of a semi-final round.

It's just that even if you don't want to admit this fact, you have to bow your head in front of the real data.Compared with the two rounds of the semi-final match between Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​the ratings of this final are really not half of that.

If it weren't for the fact that the venue for the final is the Calderon Stadium in Madrid, just under the eyes of Real Madrid fans, it would be a question of whether the tickets could be sold out.

Compared with the invincible Real Madrid, Athletic Bilbao is too weak, so weak that no expert media expects him to beat Real Madrid.

Even if it is a round of decisive battle full of variables, under the absolute strength of Real Madrid, no one can see the dawn of defeating them.If it weren't for Athletic Bilbao's playing style that has always been tenacious and tough, it is very likely that they would be timid before fighting.

"Win the championship and get revenge!"

This was the headline of "Marca" before the final, and the extreme self-confidence revealed from it made everyone feel dazzled.

"Compared to the almost perfect league, the 4:2 away game to Athletic Bilbao was the only stain on Real Madrid. I thought it would take until next season to wash away this shame, but the Copa del Rey gave It’s an opportunity for the two sides to compete again this season.”

"Since God has given us such a perfect opportunity for revenge, we have no reason not to cherish it. While beheading the enemy's head, use their blood to celebrate the birth of a new 'king'!"

I have to say that the pre-war mobilization of "Marca" was done very well this time, and the choice of words and sentences made all Real Madrid fans excited to the extreme.The greatest achievement of a good man is the championship, and the word "king" in the Copa del Rey has a profound meaning.Compared with the "FA Cup" in the Premier League, the "Coppa Italia" in Serie A... Spain's "Copa del Rey" is the most resounding name.Although the gold content of this championship is the same, it is a big selling point for fans who don't know the facts.

In the locker room of the visiting team, Schuster made the final tactical arrangements and mobilization for his players.

"Our opponent is currently ranked No.11 in the league, which belongs to the kind of team that has no desires and no desires. La Liga has three UEFA Cup places every year, fifth and sixth in the league, and the King's Cup champion. It's just that we It has been guaranteed to enter the Champions League next season, so Athletic Bilbao will be able to enter the UEFA Cup schedule next season regardless of whether they win the championship or not."

"From this point of view, the opponent has no reason to fight us, but don't forget that this is the final!"

"In the final, you win the game and you are the champion. Leaving aside the qualification for the UEFA Cup, the word champion alone can make all the teams lose their minds. What's more, Bilba has not won the championship for decades. Athletic E, for the championship, they will definitely do their best, and even use some rough moves to stop your rhythm."

"Here, there is only one thing I want to say to you, that is, don't be afraid, we are Real Madrid, the strongest team in the entire football. Stronger strength knocks them down!"

"The gate is over there, warriors, let's go be 'kings' and celebrate our ascension with their failures!"

This time, Schuster did not say that the Copa del Rey is the only club title he has not won, and he hopes to get it to make up for this last shortcoming.

He just used calm and tense words to stimulate the deepest morale in the players' hearts, allowing all players to enter the state of the game at this moment, ensuring that they can show their full strength at the beginning and completely knock down their opponents.

After he finished speaking, Raul stood up first and tied his captain's armband, then Gago followed him out of the gate, and then all the players walked to the aisle with solemn faces.

On the other side, the faces of the Athletic Bilbao players were even more terrifying than the players of Real Madrid. There was a little coldness in their eyes, and they looked at Real Madrid like enemies.Obviously, the opponent's head coach did a good job of mobilizing before the battle, and inspired the deepest blood in the hearts of the Basque players.

"Friends in the audience, welcome to the final of the Copa del Rey. What you are seeing now is the Calderon Stadium in Atlético de Madrid. The two teams standing on the field are Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao. Will compete for the final of the 2008/2009 Copa del Rey. Although the pre-match form is overwhelmingly optimistic about Real Madrid, what I want to say is that football is round, and you will never guess the game until the referee blows the whistle What is the final result'! So, keep your eyes open and watch the ball carefully, maybe you can see a classic show that will be passed down for generations."

This time the stadium is owned by Atletico Madrid, so the DJ on the scene is also the queen commentator of Real Madrid's sworn enemy.But considering the balance, this time his partner is the famous "Emperor Rice" - Brando!

"Selvi, if the classics could be seen easily, then Liverpool would have won the Premier League title long ago!"

Brando humorously refuted his partner's point of view, but when he said this, many Liverpool fans who watched the game directly smashed their TVs.

He was shot while lying down!
The most typical and closest example now used to encourage the team not to give up is the "Miracle of Istanbul".Liverpool, which has accomplished this eternal football miracle, also overdrawn its character for the next ten years because of this time, and gradually degenerated from a wealthy team to a relegation team after that.

During this period of time, the miracle of Ibrahimovic leading the Swiss team to score four consecutive goals against the German team after half an hour has not yet happened, so every time they come out to lie down, it is the "Miracle of Istanbul", and as the advocate of this miracle, Liverpool Always hit one arrow after another.

Just when Liverpool fans couldn't help turning off the TV, more Manchester United fans turned on the TV and paid to watch the King's Cup final.

As long as Liverpool is unhappy, Manchester United fans feel very happy!
On the court, the referee has already called the captains of the two teams over and completed the side-picking ceremony.

Raul won, Athletic Bilbao kicked off first, without the slightest hesitation, midfielder Martinez directly kicked a long pass from the backcourt after getting the ball.

For a technical team like Real Madrid, simple and rough can be effective. Martinez's long pass crossed the entire midfield and flew into Real Madrid's penalty area.

And before they knew it, most of Athletic Bilbao's players had already plugged in. The first to grab the whole ball was their central defender Amorebieta. Pressed under the body, completed the top fight.

It's just that Casillas' mental power was very concentrated, and he held the ball out with a single palm, a corner kick!
Athletic Bilbao's tall and jumping players all came up. In this game, they made up their minds to bully Real Madrid in terms of height.

It's just that they angered Pepe this time. When did Pepe, who will be the number one villain in football in the future, suffer such a loss? He was the only one who oppressed others, and no one dared to oppress him.

This time the corner kick Pepe came directly in front of Amorebieta to take off, and then stretched out his elbow at the moment the opponent took off, blocking his jumping route.

The sound of "Poof!" was clearly heard by the fans through the nearby lens.

Then a large piece of blood fell from the air!
