January 1, King of Spain quarter-race, second round.Zaragoza vs. Valencia at home.
The La Romeda Stadium, which can accommodate 35000 people, was packed.
In the first leg, Valencia defeated Zaragoza 2-0 at home.
If Zaragoza wants to beat his opponent and advance.At least 3 goals must be won over the opponent.
In order to win, Zaragoza also worked desperately in this game.
A lineup of 343 main attacks was put out.
Goalkeeper: Oscar;
Defenders: Fernandez, Cabrera, Vallejo;
Midfielders: Nani, Gallareta, Pedro, Joaquin;
Forwards: Hajic, Baston, Willian Jose.
In the first round, the net difference was 2 goals. In this round, Valencia chose a 442 lineup with a balanced offense and defense.
Goalkeeper: No. 1 Diego Alves;
Defenders: No. 6 Sikaira, No. 23 Abden Nur, No. 5 Mustafi, No. 19 Barragan;
Midfield: No. 21 Andre Gomez, No. 18 Fuego, No. 10 Parejo, No. 15 Enzo Perez;
Forwards: No. 22 Mina, No. 9 Alcacer.
After the opening game, Zaragoza, who played at home, played very proactively, pressing down in the frontcourt and constantly threatening the opponent with offense.
Nani on the left is particularly active, constantly using sharp breakthroughs to create threats.
But 10 minutes before the start of the game, Valencia, who had already adapted, began to rely on the control of the midfield and the emptiness of Zaragoza's defense, and frequently counterattacked Zaragoza's backcourt.
In the 15th minute, Valencia got a free kick from the center and Parejo shot directly with his right foot.
If the ball hadn't been pressed well by the opponent, the ball would have hit the goal frame.
Otherwise Zaragoza would be in danger!
Seeing that Zaragoza's goal is in crisis, if Zheng Long is here, why would he be so worried.
Coach Popovich's eyes are constantly on the tunnel.
Why haven't you arrived yet?
damn it!
Miscalculated.I didn't expect that the Chinese team would have an overtime match with the Japanese team.
This is a waste of time.
Can Zheng Long catch up?
If he can't catch up, let alone a tie in this game.I'm afraid I'm going to fall behind.
Popovich moved anxiously back and forth on the sidelines.
But we must catch up!
The players on the court didn't have time to recall Zheng Zhi's barb.
The ball was raised by Okas and landed near the center circle.
Zaragoza's players did not snatch the ball.
On the 18th, Fuego used his body card owner Galareta to control the ball.
On the 10th, Parejo received the pass, and he advanced with the ball to instigate the next attack.
"Keep an eye on it, push on!"
Popovich was a little annoyed.
Now Zaragoza's system seems to be very chaotic, unable to attack or defend.
Especially the thoughts of the midfielders are still a bit confused, Nani feels that he has to press the whole line.However, Galaretta and Pedro were suppressed by their opponents and could not come out to respond.
Nani is not a good leader, he only cares about playing by himself, and he cannot be expected to control the rhythm.
Valencia has penetrated in the middle, approaching again and again, threatening Zaragoza's gate.
Once again, Parejo sent the ball into Zaragoza's penalty area.
Fortunately, Vallejo defended very steadily this time and pushed the ball out of the danger zone ahead of time.
But the ejected ball fell to the left, and No. 21 Andre Gomez hooked the ball back with his feet on the sideline.
He turned around and passed the ball to the penalty area. No. 9 Alcacer inserted into the penalty area, attacked the goal from a small angle, and hit the side net.
Time passed by, and Zaragoza's performance was quite embarrassing.
Just when Valencia besieged Zaragoza's goal strongly and saw that Zaragoza's goal was about to be captured by the opponent.
When the fans are worried.Suddenly the stadium erupted into enthusiastic cheers.
All Zaragoza fans stared at the familiar figure running out of the player tunnel.
It's the interceptor Zheng Long!
Our guardian Zheng Long has finally returned!
For a while, the long-lost "Song of the Interceptor" sounded over the La Roma radar stadium!
On-site commentator Morrow also noticed the situation on the sidelines.
he exclaimed excitedly. "Everyone, everyone heard the sudden cheers at the scene. There is nothing wrong. Zaragoza's goalkeeper Zheng Long has finally returned."
"Half a month ago, the interceptor Zheng Long participated in the U23 Asian Cup. With his help, the Chinese Olympic team won the championship yesterday. Zheng Long also won the best player award with his outstanding performance Title! Selected to the best team!"
"The Chinese Olympic team made history and won the championship. But Zaragoza performed poorly during this period. It has fallen from 2nd to 5th in the league. In the first round of the Copa del Rey, they were also defeated by Wa Rencia scored 2 goals. We are now behind!"
"Just when Zaragoza was most critical, Zheng Long finally returned to the team! Can he help Zaragoza, which is in an extremely disadvantaged situation? We will know the answer soon!"
In the 21st minute of the first half, Popovich finally saw Zheng Long running all the way in.
Seeing Zheng Long, Popovich shouted anxiously. "How are you, Dragon. Do you think you can play now?"
"No problem!" The body is very tired, but now Zheng Long is full of fighting spirit.He feels like he's totally ready to play.
"That's good. Hurry up and warm up! I'll send you on the court soon!" Although it was still the first half, Popovich couldn't wait for the midfield substitution.
In his opinion, Zheng Long's playing can guarantee the team's defense.
Zheng Long shouted. "Coach, I ran all the way in, and I've already warmed up!"
As soon as the U23 Asian Cup ended, Zheng Long quickly got into the car driven by his agent assistant George and went straight to the private airport.
Fortunately, the average Qatari citizen is relatively wealthy, and there are many private airports.
Zheng Long rushed to the airport soon.
As soon as the people arrived, the plane took off immediately.Go straight to the city of Zaragoza in the autonomous state of Aragon, Spain.
After playing the regular 90 minutes, the Chinese Olympic team played another 30 minutes of overtime and a 20-minute penalty shootout.
It was very likely that they would not be able to catch up with this Copa del Rey.
However, Chairman Zaragoza personally invited the traffic police to escort him all the way, so he felt the game scene unimpeded all the way.
As soon as the car stopped, the anxious club staff who had been waiting for a long time rushed to the court with Zheng Longfei.
Only then can we arrive.
I heard that Zheng Long has warmed up and can play at any time.
Popovich immediately called out to the assistant coach.
"Apply for a replacement immediately!"
Without Popovich's explanation at all, assistant coach Nekens knew who to replace.
He hurried to communicate with the fourth official.
Soon, a sign for a substitution was played on the sidelines.
Taking advantage of a sideline kick, the referee signaled that a substitution could be made.
Oscar, the team's second goalkeeper, did not intend to delay.
In fact, Popovich wants the opponent to come down quickly.Now the team is still 2 goals behind, and we must seize any time to attack.
Oscar ran all the way to the sidelines and saw Zheng Long who was outstretched for high fives.
Now Oscar has absolutely no intention of competing with the other side, or competing for the main goalkeeper.
The gap is too big, and he already understands that he will not be able to catch up with the other party in this life.
Now he has the idea that he hopes that Zaragoza can win more championship trophies this season.
Then he can move to other clubs with glory.
After high-fiving Zheng Long, Oscar said sincerely. "Come on. Help the team beat the opponent! Advance to the next round!"
"Well! I will!"
After Oscar left the field, Popovich patted the opponent on the shoulder and said, "Thank you!"
Oscar just nodded and walked towards the bench.
When Zheng Long ran towards the goal, he thought to himself.
Helped the Chinese Olympic team win the championship.Now is the time to help Zaragoza win the title!
This game must be won!
