Chapter 282: Zaragoza
With the multi-faceted operation of the Chinese Football Association, Sports Weekly and GRD, as well as Han Sen's personal efforts, the Wenchuan earthquake-stricken area has also attracted the love of the sports community around Shijie. In the days that followed, football clubs, including European giants Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Chelsea, expressed their concerns to China in different ways.
Real Madrid donated drinks worth 800,000 RMB to the disaster area. Robinho also held up a banner with Han Sen in an interview with "Sports Weekly", and said that he would do his best to raise donations for the disaster area by auctioning jerseys and other ways when he participated in the Beijing Olympics.
The newspaper "Marca" published a feature article on the fate of Atletico Madrid and China, and many Atletico Madrid stars, including captain Maxi and Portuguese winger Simao, made positive statements and took photos with Han Sen, who came to the door. Argentine teenager Sergio Aguero, who will participate in the Beijing Olympics, also told Han Sen, who is the image spokesperson, that he will fight for Sichuan in Beijing in August.
A week after the Wenchuan earthquake, Han Sen ushered in the season of Zuihou away against Zaragoza, and Binyan told Han Sen that CCTV would not broadcast the game because China was in a three-day mourning day that banned all kinds of public entertainment activities. Before the game, Mallorca Club specially made a T-shirt of "Today I am from Sichuan", and the players of both sides wore the T-shirt to enter, and the big screen of Zaragoza's home stadium La Romeda Stadium Today, from the beginning of the team's entry, Han Sen was tightly locked, and Han Sen also deliberately grew a beard to express his condolences. The styling looks a little messy. But when his sharp brother-like image appeared on the court screen, there was still some applause.
Zaragoza Real Saragossa Football Club. The club is located in the northeastern region of Spain, which is the gateway between the Catalan region and the Madrid region. At the beginning of the 20th century, there were two well-known teams here, the former was created in 1903 under the official name of FC Zaragoza, which was renamed CD Zaragoza in 1921 and the latter was called FC Iberia SC. With the intervention of the Football Association. In 1932, the two teams merged into one to form the club "FC Zaragoza". In 1951 the club was officially renamed "Real Zaragoza" and in 1957 the Stadio La Romarda was built. After the 70s of the 20th century, the team began to decline. After finishing runners-up in La Liga in 1974-75, they were relegated the following season. In the 80s, there were stars like Rijkaard, but the results were not ideal. Until the 90s young coach Viktor? Fernandez became the manager, relying on the likes of then-star Esneid and Poyet. The team won the 1994 Copa del Rey and the 1995 Cup Winners' Cup! After entering the 21st century. The team gradually became South American, and high-level players from Argentina and Brazil were constantly brought in. Especially this season, the team has gathered stars such as Argentina's D. Milito, D'Alessandro, Aimar and Brazil's Matuzaren in the frontcourt, and the attacking power should not be underestimated. However, they have been infighting during the season, and are currently third from bottom with a poor record of 10 wins, 12 draws and 15 defeats, and if they fail to beat Hansen's Mallorca, they will be relegated to the second division.
Zaragoza fielded the starting line-up for this match is goalkeeper Cesar Sanchez (No. 1), defenders No. 2 Diogo, No. 23 Sergio Fernandez, No. 6 Ayala (Ayala) and No. 15 Pavon (Pavon). Midfielders No. 8 Aimar, No. 10 Dalessandro, No. 20 Matuzalem, No. 21 Zapater, forwards No. 12 Olivera and No. 22 Diego? Milito, is a typical 442 lineup.
And Mallorca's lineup is not much different from the previous rounds. It's still 433, goalkeeper No. 1 Moya, defender No. 24 Héctor, No. 16 Nunez, No. 17 Fernando? Navarro, No. 3 David? Navarro, midfielders No. 6 Basinas, No. 12 Castro, No. 13 Hansen, forwards No. 18 Arango, No. 9 Weber and No. 14 Guiza. The only change was the No.12 Castro who replaced No.7 Barella, which was a normal rotation, while Hansen started again after avoiding Barcelona in his 13th La Liga game.
After a minute of silence before the game, 21 players on both sides came over to shake hands and hug Han Sen, and the audience also gave a standing ovation, while Han Sen bowed expressionlessly to the audience.
Zaragoza will only need a win to secure relegation, but Mallorca are not more than three points behind Sevilla and Racing Santander, who are sixth and seventh, and a defeat to Zaragoza could also see them drop out of the top six and lose their place in next season's UEFA Cup. Therefore, after the warm ceremony before the start of the competition, it immediately entered the murderous official competition time.
Soon after the opening, Mallorca midfielder Castro and the opponent's Aimar competed, first Aimar grabbed the ball in front of Hansen and prepared to force Castro to be tackled by Castro, Castro after getting a yellow card, Aimar knocked over Castro in a defense, it seems that he deliberately found fault for the loss just now, but this time, his foul was only a verbal warning from the referee. One of them is from Uruguay and the other is from Argentina, both from South America, and they think they have had grudges on some occasions, but they are just found at this time.
After experiencing the opening of the South American small dispute, the game then gradually entered the control stage of Mallorca, this season in Han Sen joined, Mallorca's average possession rate per game has reached nearly 60%, which is also one of the magic weapons of Mallorca in the second half of the season all the way from eighth to the top five, the entire Mallorca midfield under Han Sen's deployment and combing, are in order, not chaotic at all.
And if Han Sen's stable state ensures that Mallorca can stabilize his position in every game and gain an advantage on the field, then the fiery state of No. 14 Guiza, who stands behind Han Sen in every game, is the finishing touch to Mallorca's victory, in the 15th minute, Han Sen won the ball near the midfield, and there were Dalessandro and Zapatel in front of him. Far from being able to compare the two last time, Han Sen looked up and saw that Guiza began to move in the middle, so he got up on the spot, and a long pass from midfielder went straight to Guiza.
Guiza was in the middle of Ayala and Pavon's attack, and he also moved very smartly, first dodging out of the middle of the two defenders, and then facing Han Sen's long pass to stop the ball with his chest, just when Ayala and Pavon thought that Guiza stopped the ball with his back to the goal chest, he would turn around at the first time, so he didn't come forward to cling to the situation, Guiza suddenly unexpectedly turned around and volleyed, the ball was volleyed, flying quickly and fast, and went straight to the corner of the goal, The opposing goalkeeper Cesar had no choice but to watch the ball go into the net. 1 to 0! Guiza scored his 28th goal of the season and is now well at the top of the scorers' charts, with the top scorer already in the bag. At the same time, due to the high league coefficient, Guissa is also in second place in the selection of the European Golden Boot Award, and the first place is Cristiano Ronaldo of England Manchester United. At the same time, another figure also shows that Guiza deserves the Golden Boot alone, and has now scored 120 shots in La Liga throughout the season. With such a stellar season in play, Guiza is almost certain to be part of the Matadors for this summer's European Championships. Interestingly, the second-highest number of shots in La Liga is none other than Zaragoza's current striker Oliveira, who has scored 16 goals this season, which should not be underestimated.
After the goal, Guiisa turned around and went straight to Han Sen, ran to Han Sen's side and hugged Han Sen tightly, firstly, on the opponent's field, and secondly, because of the meaning of mourning, so there was no very presumptuous expression, Han Sen also hugged Guiisa without saying a word, and then high-fived his teammates who came up one by one to celebrate. In addition, Zaragoza is facing relegation after falling behind at home, and the fans are also in a slump, and the whole stadium has fallen into a strange silence after one side has scored, dull and depressed to the extreme!
