The Copa del Rey game is played the day before the Champions League, both teams in Madrid are preparing, Atletico Madrid is preparing for the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid is preparing for the Champions League, Real Madrid, which has nothing in the league, is now the only lifesaver is the Champions League, if they can't win the Champions League, they will be completely overshadowed by Atletico Madrid, and the jealous Real Madrid people have repeatedly sarcastically mocked Atletico Madrid's league championships, saying that even if they win more league titles, even if they get more Copa del Rey, they are not considered giants, Because they haven't proven themselves at the highest level in the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid's general manager Liu Yang didn't care in the face of Real Madrid's cynicism, he sneered and said: "Although Real Madrid has nine Champions Leagues in hand, but that can only show the past, why no one has mentioned the Champions League every year in the past ten years, we don't have Champions League champions, but we will have sooner or later, if football does not disappear in the world, we will also surpass Real Madrid." ”

Li Huan spoke even more annoyingly, he said: "We don't think about becoming a giant club now, I just want to be the best team in Madrid, as long as we can beat Real Madrid in results, we will be very happy." We've got the league title, don't you still have nothing? We're about to have a second champion, and you may have nothing. ”

Although Mourinho is accustomed to quibbling, he can only shut up in the face of facts, compared to Atletico Madrid's Copa del Rey opponent Real Betis, their Champions League opponent is the old and spicy Manchester United, there is only a 50% chance of winning the championship, they dare not boast before the game, they can only prepare seriously.

Happy days always pass quickly, Atletico Madrid fans have not yet woken up from the joy of defeating the old overlord Barcelona, the date of the Copa del Rey final has arrived, during this time there is no war of words, no hype, not even mentioning Real Betis, although Betis is also Royal, but they and Real Madrid are obviously not at the same level, no one cares, everyone thinks that Atletico Madrid is already a double champion, the final is just a form, even Barcelona and Real Madrid have been killed, and which team can stop them.

Maybe Atletico people think the same way, but Betis people certainly don't think so, this is an ambitious team, they have only won the league championship once since their establishment in 1907, most of the time they are in the middle and lower reaches, they are typical poor people, but this does not mean that they do not have the ambition and vanity to climb up, in 1998 Real Betis bought Brazilian international Denilson for a world record transfer fee, but unfortunately they lost their eyes and bought a vase, Otherwise, maybe they can rise like Villarreal. Now, after 8 years of hard work, they have once again secured a ticket to the final of the Copa del Rey, how can they easily give up the title.

In fact, Real Betis is not weak, they are known as Little Barcelona, technology, control and penetration are rare in La Liga, forwards Montero, Santa Cruz, defenders Nelson, Zika and Ustaritz, and forward Salva are all between first-class and second-rate level, and it is not impossible to beat Barcelona Real Madrid if they play well. Especially their manager, Pepe. Mel, who is a resourceful coach who is good at sourcing local ingredients and cooking, and who qualified for the Europa League the year they were promoted from La Liga, is seen so lowly not because they are not weak, but because Atletico are too strong.

On May 27, the ancient Mestallia ushered in the even older Copa del Rey final.

In 1902, in order to celebrate the accession of King Alfonso XIII of Spain to the throne, Spain held a nationwide football knockout tournament at the suggestion of the former president of Real Madrid, Carouss, which was the Copa del Rey. Carlos I Copa del Rey", but the only constant is football and the joy he brings to the fans.

More than a century has passed in the blink of an eye, and the 111th final of the Copa del Rey has ushered in, and their protagonists have changed from Real Madrid Barcelona to Atletico Madrid and the little-known Real Betis.

"Oh, friends, have you ever had such a down-and-out friend who has returned unexpectedly after a long absence, dressed in bright clothes, with a fashionable hairstyle, and speaking in an incomprehensible oriental accent. That's Atletico Madrid now. A year ago, the Madrid giants were in deep crisis – an eccentric boss who was disgusted by everyone, a manager that changed frequently, and a group of high-paid and low-energy stars, and now they are the favourites to win La Liga and Copa del Rey...... Their opponent is Real BetisAfter ousting the largest shareholder, Manuel Ruiz de Loperala, Betis legend (and also an all-round and upright man) Rafael Gordillo took over Betis, former Betis player, former Rayo Vallecano coach Pepe Meier took charge of the new Betis team, the team is starting to develop in a good direction, they are no longer clowns on the Andalusian football stage, their squad has become lean and flat, and they are ready to make a big splash. Slighted by opponents and media against Pepe before the final. Mel said it was unbelievable so that he didn't have to go out of his way to motivate the players and they would fight hard, Betis is a bloody team and they won't tolerate such a contempt ......"

"The game starts right away, now let's take a look at the starting line-ups of both sides: Atletico's starting 11 are Li Huan, Godin, Domingos, Felipe, Diego, Assunsan, Gabi, Turan, Adrian, Falcao. It's a balanced 442 formation, and it doesn't look like Manzano is underwhelming. Real Betis are Castro/Chica, Amaya, Dorado, Nacho/Benate, Illine/Montero, Sevia, Pereira/Santa Cruz. They put out a 4231 formation, which is also the team's main formation......"

After the start of the game, Atletico Madrid kicked off first, and after the striker passed the ball to the midfield, Atletico Madrid did not pass the ball backwards, and directly launched an attack, their strength was obviously stronger than Real Betis, so they wanted to seize the opportunity in order to play the next game.

Diego dribbled past Sevia's defence and distributed the ball to Turan, who tried to use his speed to get down, but the ball was tackled off the touchline by a Real Betis defender.

Li Huan went to the front court to throw the throw-in, Falcao received the ball and returned it directly to Li Huan, walked to the bottom line, left the middle to Li Huan, and let Li Huan cut inside.

Real Betis is also heavily defended against Li Huan, Li Huan has not yet increased the speed with the ball, Betis's Montero raised his foot and knocked Li Huan to the ground with the ball from one side, and the referee awarded the first free kick of the game.

At this time, it was only one minute and thirty-five seconds into the game, and everyone was not yet in the groove, and neither player thought that this free kick on the side of the penalty area was much of a threat, because this free kick was equivalent to a short corner. While Real Betis was lining up the crowd wall in a mess, many fans in the stands were still looking for seats.

"Force!" The referee's whistle blew.

Li Huan observed the human wall and the goalkeeper's position, and he directly and vigorously volleyed into the near corner of the goal.

It's a boccia!

The wall jumped up and down, and at this time the players in the wall noticed that the ball was not flying over their heads, some saw the ball flying under their feet, and some were still confused about where the ball went.

Castro, the goalkeeper standing in the far corner, was blocked by the wall, he didn't see the ball at all, and when the ball came out of the grass under the wall, Castro's eyes were straight, his mouth was open enough to score three eggs, and he didn't have time to make any savings.

The ball is in!

An incredible free kick!

1:0！

The crowd was stunned, at least half of them didn't see how the ball went in, but that didn't stop them from clapping desperately and cheering desperately for the magical goal.

“goalgoalgoal…… Li Huan! Li Huan! Great Li Huan, great free kick, this is a free kick with unparalleled imagination, this is not kicking the ball with his feet, this is kicking the ball with his brain, God, why does Li Huan kick like this, he is simply not human...... With Li Huan's genius goal, Atletico Madrid won the opportunity, and Atletico, who were already stronger than Betis, are now almost winning, and we can't think of any other way for them to turn over......"

Li Huan, who is not a person, saw this free kick rolled into the net before his expression relaxed, he was copying the free kick classic of Ronaldinho Jr., success is a good story, if it fails, but it is Dong Shi Xiaofeng, he was lucky, the ball went in. Li Huan raised his hands and ran to the stands, celebrating with the Atletico fans who followed the team to the Mestaria.

At this time, the slow motion replay came out, and Manzano, who had always been moody, had just excitedly taken off his glasses to celebrate, and now he put on his glasses again and carefully watched Li Huan's shot, he had to admit that Li Huan was really a genius, a once-in-a-century genius, in addition to strength, Li Huan also had the luck of a genius, and almost all of his whims could be realized.

"Li Huan, Li Huan! I love you Li Huan! With the slow-motion playback, the applause and shouts that had not stopped rose again, becoming more and more intense, the decibels getting louder and louder, and finally like a storm crashing on the shore and cracking rocks through the air, the entire Mestaria was all shouting Li Huan's voice.
