Chapter 1764 National Derby

The aftermath of the World Cup grouping is still reverberating. Fans and the media can continue to discuss this topic, look forward to the prospects of their respective national teams in the World Cup next year, and imagine how their respective "World Cup roads" will be taken.

But the players still have to return to the game in front of them.

No matter how much we look forward to and look forward to next year's World Cup, we must first play well in the league, Champions League and other competitions.

After the national team match day, it is followed by the league.

La Liga will usher in a big game:

The "National Derby" is played by the King of Madrid against the Catalan United.

As the key battle of this round of La Liga, and even the entire European league, this game is not placed at the end, but at the very beginning-the first game of this round of La Liga is the "National Derby".

The game was so eye-catching that even the whole Madrid Pirates team gathered in the conference room of the hotel to watch the live broadcast of the game after dinner.

At 10 o'clock tomorrow night, they will challenge Baetik away, and the result of the game between King Madrid and Catalan tonight will determine where the Madrid Pirates will be in the league standings after the game ends tomorrow.

So far Catalan United ranks first in the league with 30 points.

The Madrid Pirates are ranked second in the league with 30 points.

The King of Madrid ranked third with 28 points.

If the King of Madrid beats the Catalan United, they will temporarily top the list with 31 points.

But until tomorrow night, as long as the Madrid Pirates beat Baetik in an away game, they will be able to win the first place in the league with 33 points.

This is the most favorable result for the Madrid Pirates.

But as the rival of the King of Madrid in the same city, it is not such a happy thing to see the King win the national derby.

As for the Catalan United defeating the King of Madrid, let alone - they will continue to stay in the first place in the league.

And if the Catalan United can beat the King of Madrid away, it will greatly improve the team's morale and confidence.

If the Madrid Pirates want to surpass in the future, the difficulty will increase sharply.

Since either the King of Madrid or the Catalan United will make the Madrid Pirates unhappy, it is natural that a draw between the two sides is most beneficial to the interests of the Pirates.

The so-called "snipe and clam fight each other for the fisherman's benefit".

In a tie, the Catalan United will have 31 points, the Kings of Madrid will have 29 points, and the Madrid Pirates will have 33 points if they win, leading their two opponents by two and four points respectively.

For this reason, the Madrid Pirates are naturally very concerned about this national derby.

"Although I would like a draw between the two teams, I think the king should beat the Catalan at home..."

"That's hard to say, Kabanka's condition this season is really good, and Brazil has also been training in Europe before, so Kabanka is not exhausted from traveling, and his physical condition is better than Meli...Meli has returned to Argentina to play. It was a warm-up match, and when playing with the national team, it can be seen that Meli's condition is not very good."

"The Kings have home court advantage, that's important..."

Before the game started, everyone sat in the conference room and started a discussion on the warm-up pictures of the two sides.

In general, although they hope that the two teams will draw, the vast majority of people still think that the game will definitely be decided, and most people are optimistic that the King of Madrid can win.

After all, this is the King of Madrid's home game.

When the strength of the two teams is similar, the home field is a very important factor in determining the outcome.

But the players of the Madrid Pirates definitely did not expect this game to be played like this...

※※※

"Meli! Meli breaks through with the ball! Oops, cut off!"

In the exclamation of the commentator Sanchez, Meli staggered and fell to the ground.

At the same time, beside him, Catalan midfielder Victor van der Stern dropped him and passed the ball just broken to Rosas in front.

Rosas then handed over to Campsano.

The latter made an oblique long pass and found Kabangka on the right!

Kabanka stopped the football in a premeditated way while receiving the ball, just passing by the Kings left back Fonseca who came up to rush him.

The two fought side by side in the national team four days ago, but now they are their masters.

Fonseca obviously didn't expect that Kabanka didn't stop the ball, but stopped the ball, so he just threw it.

He tried to reach for Rakabunka's arm or his clothes, but couldn't.

Kabangka starts up very fast!

So even though it looked like he stopped the ball too much, he immediately took control of the ball again.

This made the King of Madrid midfielder Osay, who originally wanted to come up to steal the ball, hesitate, and failed to grab the block in time.

After Kabanka controlled the football, he only took one step forward and shot directly!

At a distance of about thirty-five meters from the goal, the football drew a white light and flew towards the king's goal!

Kings goalkeeper Rodriguez Bakker went up into the air and fought hard to make a save, but missed the ball!

Under the stunned gaze of everyone, the football plunged into the goal net!

The ball...goes in!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!"

On the TV, the commentator Sanchez roared with a long voice.

In front of the TV, a group of Madrid Pirates players stared dumbfounded.

"World wave-! Ka-bang-ka-!"

Sanchez's passion is still spurting.

The Madrid Pirates players recovered from their initial shock and looked at each other.

Hu Lai's eyes widened too - he thought that this kind of scene would only happen when others watched him play, but he didn't expect that there would be such a famous scene reenacted when he watched other people's game...

"Only 21 minutes into the game, Catalan United took the lead away! It's unbelievable! It's unbelievable! The king's start was terrible!"

Vukovic shook his head and said: "The commentator will exaggerate, what's unbelievable about it? Although Kabanka's world wave goal is a bit sudden, the Catalan United played better than the King in the first 20 minutes... "

Yes, in the opening 20 minutes, although it was the home court of the King of Madrid, Catalan United had the upper hand.

Just like this ball, Meli's state was relatively sluggish in the first 20 minutes. I don't know if it was the exhaustion of the long-distance flight that caused his body to be not in the best state.

The King of Madrid's conceded goal started when Meli was intercepted with the ball.

The reason why Meli was intercepted with the ball has a lot to do with his not being in the best condition.

The footsteps of the dribbling are flimsy, staggered, and the rhythm is unstable. Naturally, Van der Stern will easily stop him.

After the ball was conceded, the TV broadcast quickly gave Meli a close-up.

Obviously the director also knew where the king's problem was in this game.

In the camera, Mei Li opened his mouth wide and panted heavily, with a blank expression.

He didn't have the emotions he should have after losing the ball, and he didn't run to the referee to protest to him that Van der Stern fouled just now - nothing, so calm, but the biggest abnormality.

"Meli himself knows his problem..." Ramirez looked at this scene and said with emotion.

※※※

Meli's state in this game is indeed not very good, and this has brought about a very serious problem:

The King of Madrid is very dependent on Meli's performance.

After all, Tavares' tactics have been dubbed "pass the **** football to Meli".

Therefore, whether Meli plays well or not directly determines the quality of King Madrid's offense.

In other words, the King of Madrid's offensive threat has plummeted.

If the opponent is an ordinary team, then even if the King of Madrid does not rely on Meli, he can still win the game with a stronger overall strength.

But against the opponents of the same level, the Catalan United, if Meli can't output at full power, the king will be in danger.

Sure enough, before the end of the first half, Rosas assisted Mario Salado to score.

Catalina took a two-goal lead over King Madrid in the first half.

Boos could already be heard from the stands at the Crown Stadium as players from both sides exited the field.

Kings fans are looking forward to head coach Tavares making effective adjustments during the intermission to reverse the situation where the Kings were passively beaten in the first half.

They were disappointed in the second half.

Although the King of Madrid made some substitutions and adjustments, it didn't work.

Because of the exchange~www.novelmt.com~Meli, who is not in good condition, is still on the court.

Meli's sluggish performance set off Kabanka as if a **** descended from the earth.

In the 66th minute of the game, Kabanka received a cross from Salado in the penalty area, and rarely used his head to head the ball into the goal.

He scored twice at the Crown!

Although Merry then seemed to finally find some form, it was too late.

In the end, Catalan United was somewhat surprising in the away game, beating King Madrid 3:0.

Winning the first "National Derby" of the season also scored a crucial three points.

These three points allowed them to continue to lead the league standings.

At the same time, the victory of this game is also very important for Kabangka.

It wasn't the first time he beat the king, but it certainly could be counted as his victory over Merry.

When Meli and Hu Lai were chasing after each other, Kabanka used the victory of this game to show the world that today's world football is not a duo competing for hegemony, but a trio!
