When Chang Sheng returned home, he heard Lin Mo's reminder: "You have a new task, Chang Sheng." ”

Chang Sheng hurriedly entered the system to check.

There is indeed one more task in the task log.

Mission: The King.

Assignment: You boast in front of a little kid that you want to win the Copa del Rey and prove to him that there are miracles in this world...... It's not an easy task to accomplish because Jonathan is right that neither Barcelona nor Mallorca are easy opponents to beat. But you have a reason why you have to, because in the eyes of your child, you are his hope to move on with his life. Good luck.

Objective: Win the Copa del Rey.

Reward: 1,000,000 XP!

Energy 400!

Training skills: [Elementary Steal Special Training], [Primary Endurance Special Training], [Primary Strong Special Training], [Match Training Tactics Elementary].

Match Skill: [Great Wall of Flesh].

Match Skill [Great Wall of Flesh]?!

The last level 2 system of the game skills!

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment when he saw this.

He thought he was going to miss out on this skill.

So I'm waiting here......

He secretly called lucky.

If he had just given an autograph for Mediano to send for him, there wouldn't have been so much to do. He won't know what happened to the young fan who asked him for an autograph, or his pessimism.

And if he hadn't come with Avril, Avril hadn't pointed out his mistake. Then he wouldn't have thought of giving Jonathan hope with a Copa del Rey title.

Then he won't receive such a task, and he won't have the opportunity to get the skill of [Great Wall of Flesh].

The origin of all this was just one of his original thoughts, and there were many factors at work. For example, Avril, if there is no Avril, maybe he will just give the signature to the other party, although there will be some regret in his heart, but he will definitely not have the idea of making amends.

He suddenly felt that this task system was a little interesting.

A choice you made unintentionally. Combined with a variety of other factors, it is possible to trigger missions that don't just allow you to win races.

There are many kinds of futures. According to his own heart, he chose such a one, which brought him many benefits.

※※※

Since Chang Sheng said that he wants to win the Copa del Rey. It is natural to work towards this goal. First of all, the semi-finals are a hurdle that must be faced.

He also had to study his opponents.

When he watched the video of the Zaragoza game, it suddenly occurred to him that if he didn't have Getafe, this season's Copa del Rey would have been Zaragoza's.

But now, it is clear that Zaragoza will not be able to win the Copa del Rey again, and they will not even be able to reach the final.

There are a lot of things he can't remember about this season's Copa del Rey.

For example, he doesn't remember the exact process, or who the two sides of the final final are.

But he still remembers who the final winner was.

It's Zaragoza.

I remember it because the following season Zaragos played in the UEFA Cup, only to be relegated in the league...... They are ranked from the bottom. The contrast is so great that it leaves a deep impression.

If it were Zaragoza a season ago, they would have to worry about winning constantly.

But now. He felt like he was lucky.

Zaragoza finished fourth in the league a season ago and it stands to reason that they should be able to play in the Champions League. This is quite a feat for Zaragoza.

But because Real Madrid defeated Valencia 3-0 in the Champions League final this season to win the Champions League, Zaragoza's fate was rewritten.

At that time, Zaragoza was fourth in the league. Real Madrid is fifth.

According to the rules, the top four in La Liga can qualify for next season's Champions League, with the third and fourth places participating in the qualifying round, and the top two directly participating in the main competition.

Therefore, Real Madrid will not qualify for next season's Champions Cup if they do not win the Champions Cup. For a giant club like Real Madrid. This is also a great shame.

Fortunately, in the end, Real Madrid won the Champions League.

But then came the troubles.

Real Madrid are the champions of the Champions Cup, and according to the rules, they can play in the Champions League next season.

Meanwhile, the top four finishers in the Spanish league also qualify for next season's Champions League.

But UEFA is unlikely to give a country five Champions League places. At the same time, Real Madrid, as the defending champions, must appear in the Champions League next season...... UEFA doesn't care, then only the Spanish Football Federation itself can negotiate and settle it.

Real Madrid's influence in Spain is unrivalled and Zaragoza, who are fourth in the league, are feeling the pressure from the start. If there is a team that has to step up to make room for Real Madrid, then this team can only be Zaragoza in fourth place, and it is impossible to make way for Valencia in third place and Barcelona in second place, right? It is even more unlikely that League Champions Deportivo La Coruna will give way.

But if Zaragoza have to insist on qualifying for next season's Champions League, things will get tricky.

In the end, it was the Spanish royal family who stepped in and let Zaragoza develop its style.

The Spanish royal family has come forward, what else can Zaragoza do? Although Real Madrid and Real Zaragoza both have a crown logo on their heads, they are both authentic "Royal". But Real Madrid is obviously more valued than Real Zaragoza.

Zaragoza will only be able to play with their style and concede their hard-earned Champions League qualification.

Real Madrid are arguably the greatest team in European football, and they should have started in the qualifying round in place of Zaragoza, but Real Madrid went straight into the group stage. You must know that the same situation happened with Liverpool later, the 2005 Champions League champion Liverpool did not qualify for the Champions League in the league standings. It stands to reason that Everton should be allowed to emulate Zaragoza and develop the style.

But Everton and Liverpool are mortal enemies, how can they sacrifice themselves to become mortal enemies? So they were reluctant to give way to Liverpool, which made UEFA very embarrassed.

The English FA is also not as cooperative with them as the Spanish Football Federation, and the FA has made it clear that it will not interfere and watch UEFA's jokes.

In the end, UEFA really couldn't do it. They were forced to give Liverpool a wild card and get them an extra chance to play in the Champions League for the new season. And just like that, for the first time, there was a national league with five teams participating in the Champions League at the same time.

Originally, England teams had a strong momentum in the Champions League in those years, and now they are coming in five teams in one go. Isn't that a game change?

UEFA will never allow an English team to dominate the Champions League.

In addition, in order to teach Everton an unforgettable lesson that would not give them face, Everton was naturally deliberately eliminated by UEFA - they met Villarreal, who was in the limelight at the time, in the first round of qualifying, and was eliminated. This is considered the end of offending UEFA.

Liverpool, on the other hand, were placed in a group with Chelsea. This is the first time that teams from the same country have met in the group stage. UEFA explained that Liverpool were playing on a wild card and were not subject to this rule. But there were only four Premier League teams at the time, so it was easy to avoid them. Even if there are no restrictions on wild card participation, it will be difficult to meet the other three Premier League teams in a group.

I didn't expect Liverpool to really run into Chelsea. And in those years, Mourinho's Chelsea and Benitez's Liverpool had deep grievances, and this encounter was naturally full of gimmicks. Hell to say that there is no human manipulation intervention.

……

Back to Zaragoza.

After a season of hard work, I finally finished fourth in the league and had a chance to participate in next season's Champions League. As a result, he let it out. This disqualification is too big a blow to the team.

They lost their Champions League qualification and lost their morale as a result.

Since then, Zaragoza's performances have been worse year after year, with them finishing 17th in the league and narrowly missing relegation in their first year. There is only a difference of one point.

The following year, they were finally relieved and were relegated to the bottom of the league.

And now is the first season in which Zaragoza has lost his heart.

※※※

Meeting Zaragoza in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey was the weakest and best opponent Getafe could face in the semi-finals. Otherwise it doesn't matter if it's Barcelon It's still Mallorca, it's enough to drink a pot of your own.

Barcelona are much stronger than Getafe, even Mallorca are not easy to deal with. Today's Mallorca is not the Mallorca of the future, Mallorca at the turn of the century, like Celta at the turn of the century, is recognized as a strong team.

But now, their semi-final opponent is Zaragoza, so it's much easier to deal with.

Although it doesn't matter if it's Barcelona or Mallorca, they always have to meet in the final. But meeting in the final is a completely different concept than meeting in the semi-final.

When they meet in the finals, the whole team can hold the question "Since Lao Tzu is in the finals, why don't you try to win the championship?" "That's the mentality that makes you brave in the game.

However, in the semi-finals, it is difficult for the players to muster up the courage to fight against them.

In the semi-finals, if you lose, you lose, and in the end, you will win the semi-finals, and the results are not bad.

Anyway, they didn't make it to the final, so there is no doubt about the championship. There is still a way back, once you reach the finals, there is no way back. It must be the championship, who is coming to the final to see the competition for the runner-up?

Of course, these two semi-finals are not necessarily particularly good, after all, Zaragoza have not won anything this season, and the Copa del Rey is already their last straw. If you want to be on the European stage next season, you have to go for the Copa del Rey to win.

For a small team like Zaragoza, they value the Copa del Rey and European qualification not just for honor, or for most reasons not so.

It's for the money.

The winner of the Copa del Rey has a prize money. If you can participate in a European competition such as the UEFA Cup next season, you will also receive a corresponding bonus.

With this money, it can make the life of the small and medium-sized teams in Spain, which have always been in poor conditions, a little better.

Money. For football clubs, it's something that attracts them more than championship honours.

Therefore, Zaragoza will not lose their fighting spirit in this match, on the contrary, they will have a lot of fighting spirit.

That's the hard part.

But for Getafe, who has experienced such a season, this kind of difficulty is too commonplace......

In terms of the thirst for the title, Getafe is no weaker than Zaragoza.

To the extent of the thirst for money, Getafe is no less than Zaragoza......

※※※

Face Zaragoza. Chang Sheng will not let his team blindly defend, because the opponent's strength is not particularly strong.

Getafe's counter-attacking counter-attack will play an important role in both games.

Before the game, the game skills released by Chang Sheng are all offensive skills. They are [Sharp Counterattack] and [Flying with Two Wings], which are the same as those used in the game against Atletico Madrid.

He's going to knock out Zaragoza with a sharp counter-attack, and he doesn't want to waste too much time on an opponent like Zaragoza.

※※※

A day later. Getafe's Copa del Rey semi-final at home to Zaragoza is here.

Alfonso. The Perez Stadium was once again packed.

Although the financial situation is not too good, the fans of Getafe still give their team the greatest support.

The attendance of the home games during this period is very high.

This Copa del Rey semi-final, although Getafe fans did not think their team would be able to reach the final or even lift the trophy.

But they still came to the pitch to support their team.

This support has nothing to do with winning or losing.

Perhaps they just saw the game as a celebration of the team's promotion to the First Division.

This can be seen from the slogans held by the fans, and ten of them are all for the league.

There aren't many people who really take the King's Cup to heart.

※※※

Jonathan Lewis is one of those few.

With half an hour to go, he was already in front of the TV.

At this time, he was lying on the sofa in the living room, and in the TV in front of him, the host was analyzing the lineups of the two teams with the invited experts. And then analyze the winning probability of the two teams.

Although it was a home game, the host and guests were not optimistic about Getafe.

The reasons they give are also very good.

“…… In the just-concluded league game, Getafe went through a tough battle to beat Atletico Madrid away. This is certainly a cause for congratulations, but it also casts a shadow over Getafe's Copa del Rey tie. This kind of great ecstasy can lead to a lack of follow-up in the players, to put it bluntly. They will lose their fighting spirit and motivation. This season they qualified for promotion and won the league title, and for them the huge success in the league more than made up for it, and in the league comparison, the Copa del Rey is dispensable. ”

"Lack of motivation mentally is the biggest problem. In addition to this, physical fatigue is also obvious. After a long and tumultuous season, the players' fitness is certainly not too good. Before, they were able to hold on by gritting their teeth, just by virtue of that breath that did not disperse. But now? When the task is completed, all that breath is gone, the huge fatigue will sweep in, and the players' physical fitness will plummet, as if they have been sucked out of it in an instant. ”

Zaragoza, on the other hand, have failed this season and last season's fourth-place finish in the league has faded. Now they are empty-handed, and they only have one Copa del Rey left to fight for. Zaragoza will certainly not pass up this great opportunity. If they meet Barcelona or Mallorca in the semi-finals, they may have to raise their hands and surrender, but against a second division team, they will definitely have a lot of ideas...... Fighting spirit, strong to win, and not weaker than Getafe in terms of strength, I think Zaragoza has the upper hand......"

'The physical and mental fatigue can cause the Getafe players to be out of shape in this game. Even if they fight at home, they can't be saved! ”

In the end, the expert guests came to such a firm conclusion.

Jonathan. Mejía felt that the guests were right.

Fatigue will be the biggest problem for the team, mentally as well as physically.

And Zaragoza's quest to win is indeed stronger than Getafe's. Even if there is a winning strategy, what about the Getafe players? They've already achieved their biggest goal of the season, so why should they keep working hard?

In the last round of the league against Atletico Madrid, the reason why they were able to fight Atletico Madrid on the premise of winning the league title was because they wanted to avenge their constant victory.

And there is no grudge between Zaragoza and Chang Sheng. Before this game, they didn't even have anything to do with each other.

He still didn't believe that Getafe could pull off a miracle because it was too difficult.

But when the game came, he couldn't help but let his parents carry him to the couch and wait for the game to start.

It's hard to articulate this mixed feeling.

Perhaps, as Chang Sheng said, there was a faint hope sprouting in his desperate heart.

Live with hope and expectation until you die......
