Chapter 205: Pragmatic Season 2 Championship, Part

When the game reached the 70th minute, Getafe coach Schuster saw that the team was still trailing 0-1 and became a little impatient, so he made personnel adjustments. He replaced Najon, who made mistakes in the first half, with Dorado, whose name was repeatedly complained by Li Qi, hoping that the 32-year-old veteran could provide more experience to the team at critical moments than young people.

And at this moment of substitution, Li Qi knew that the opportunity had come, because after Dorado came on the court, his attention was obviously attracted by Korzakov, who has been very active recently, unlike Najon who was a little cautious because of his mistakes before.

So when Alves threw the ball out of bounds to resume the game, Li Qi received the ball and turned around, pretending to pass the ball directly to Korzakov who was pulled to the left wing. Getafe's defense line subconsciously tilted a few steps to the right, and almost everyone's eyes fell on Korzakov.

Unexpectedly, Li Qi's right foot, which was stretched out to make a long pass, changed into a dribble, and then he used his left foot to make a straight pass to the right side in the opposite direction, and the ball fell at the feet of Navas behind Dorado.

At this time, there was no one guarding Navas, so he could handle the ball calmly. As the fastest player on the wing of Sevilla, Navas' first priority when getting the ball was to blast on the wing!

Dorado, who had just come on the field, had not yet entered the role, which gave Navas the space to speed up. He did not immediately stick to interfere, which gave Navas an opportunity. After speeding up, Navas dodged and got rid of Dorado, and then changed direction and rushed through the defense of left-back Pride...

At this time, Eva and Sofia have already started eating ice cream. The two beauties, one big and one small, are watching the game on the field while licking the ice cream with their tongues. The small one is standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass in a white princess dress, eating a chocolate cone, while the big one is sitting on a high-back chair with her snow-white long legs folded elegantly, eating a strawberry cone. This scene is so tempting...

As for the comments and shouts coming from the speakers in the box, it seemed that they had no effect at all on the rhythm of the two people enjoying the delicious ice cream...

"Getafe made the first substitution of the game. Veteran No. 8 Dorado replaced young player No. 15 Nachon. It seems that Schuster hopes that the veteran's experience can help the team that is lagging behind change the situation..."

"Alves threw the ball out of bounds... beautiful! Li Qi let the ball dodge and avoided Cascro's pressing..."

"Long pass... No! Li Qi dribbles the ball diagonally, Navas!"

"Navas, the ejection is activated! Quick! Prideaux couldn't stop him!"

"Navas! Cross pass! Kanoute! Beautiful! Great heel pass!"

"Navas! Shoot!"

"Goose sister wake up! Abondan Shelly makes another amazing save!"

"It's not over yet! Li Qi!"

"Ditch oooooh! Ditch oooooh! Ditch!"

"Li Qi followed up and secretly volleyed the ball into the empty goal again from 10 yards in front of the goal! The defenders had no way of blocking Li Qi's follow-up shot!"

"Sevilla extended their lead again in the 72nd minute of the game, 2-0! Sevilla has already touched the trophy with one hand!"

"Let's look at the replay. After Li Qi received the throw-in, he seemed to want to pass it long to Korzakov, but he changed his mind just before touching the ball. He must have seen that Getafe's formation was leaning towards Korzakov's left wing."

"Li Qi's ankle is very flexible. He dunked the ball back the instant he touched it. This probably sprained many people's waists. Haha, even the TV broadcast camera was shaken..."

"Then Li Qi instantly found an open space and without stopping, he sent a straight pass with his left foot, accurately finding Navas who was waiting on the right side."

"However, Navas did not disappoint Li Qi's trust. He showed amazing speed and breakthrough ability, passed two players and played a clever wall-to-wall match with Kanoute at the edge of the penalty area."

"The ball Kanoute made was also extremely clever. Under the defender's close defense, he used his heel to pass the ball secretly and lightly, just sending the ball behind the defender line and on the running path of Navas."

"But Navas's shot from 7 yards out lacked some fire and was again saved by Abbondanshelli who fell to the ground and saved it."

"But the ball was not blocked far enough and was still within the penalty area. Li Qi, who was following up, got ahead of everyone else and volleyed the ball directly into the empty goal..."

"Although it's easy to say, it's not easy for Li Qi to hold down the bouncing ball while moving at high speed and avoid being blocked by the defensive players..."

The two-goal difference forced the two head coaches to make some adjustments. Juan Ramos replaced Navas with Marti and replaced Adriano, who was already exhausted, with Duda. It was obvious that Sevilla planned to be conservative in the last 15 minutes. Indeed, with two goals in hand, there was no need to take risks.

Shuster still wanted to make a last-ditch effort, so he replaced the two forwards, Pajon and Panovich, and adopted a four-forward tactic. He completely ignored the midfield and rushed forward when he got the ball in the backcourt. He had to equalize the goal as soon as possible.

Originally, Li Qi wanted to take advantage of the opponent's disorganized formation and use the second attack in the counterattack to score one or two goals and completely kill the game; however, Kanoute's loss of composure in the 85th minute made Li Qi give up this idea.

During a counterattack, Kanoute was knocked down by Cascro from behind, and the latter kept spewing some dirty words.

Seeing that the championship was about to be won, Kanoute naturally would not indulge the opponent. He immediately jumped up from the ground and pushed and cursed back in revenge. The scene suddenly became chaotic...

Li Qi was naturally under the cover of the big brothers. He went up to help out a few times and pretended to separate the opposing players. In fact, he took the opportunity to push the opponent a few times...

This not-so-small chaos only lasted a few minutes, but it made the situation even worse for Getafe, who already had little time left. As the game time was about to run out, the big black man Kanoute's dirty trick succeeded.

However, what was obviously beyond Kanoute's expectations was that the referee actually showed a red card to Kanoute, who he thought did not make any obvious retaliatory moves, and only showed a yellow card to Cascro, the instigator of the foul.

Kanoute had no way of understanding this and started to talk to the referee with an innocent look on his face... Finally, under the persuasion of captain Navarro, Kanoute had to go back to the locker room early to change into the championship T-shirt, but he would be suspended from the next round of the league, which was a hidden danger.

However, due to the quarrel between the two sides, the game almost went straight into injury time when it resumed; and with this interruption, Getafe's desperate momentum was gone.

After Li Qi played the corner flag tactic for a while, which even Wu Lei of later Chinese countries would never be able to do, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

Sevilla defeated Getafe 2-0 and won the third important cup championship of the season! European Super Cup, UEFA Cup and King's Cup!

Yes, that's what Sevilla officials said. In the interview before the award ceremony after the game, Juan Ramos also deceived himself by calling himself the treble champion. Although it was fake, it was still an important achievement, wasn't it? Then, Juan Ramos also stated that after the national team match day, he would go all out to win the remaining two league games. Even if the hope was slim, he would try his best to win the league championship!

As for the defeated Getafe, it seemed to be forgotten immediately. If it weren't for the high probability that he would coach Real Madrid next season, the German head coach Schuster's stubborn words after the game probably would not have attracted any media attention: "The loss in this game was too accidental. If it weren't for our striker Giza's one-on-one shot not scoring, and if it weren't for our defenders' mistakes, we would have won this game..."

However, Getafe did not get nothing but the silver medal, because Sevilla had already secured qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League two rounds of the league, which means it ranked in the top four in La Liga. So Getafe, who won the runner-up in the La Liga King's Cup, will be replaced and represent the King's Cup champion in next season's UEFA Cup.

As for the players, they all went their separate ways after the award ceremony, because most of them had to join the national team to participate in the European Cup qualifiers, international friendly matches or America's Cup qualifiers, etc.; and those who did not have national team game tasks naturally went home to have a good rest. This tense May made the players and coaches of both teams exhausted.

As for the championship celebration? Isn't there still a theoretical hope for the league championship, but it has not yet been determined who will win it? Let's talk about it after the season ends!

As for Ricardo and Maresca, as core players of the only La Liga team to win the treble, both have been selected for Italy coach Donadoni's new Italian national team roster in preparation for the European Championship qualifiers against the Faroe Islands and Lithuania.

The 2007-man Italian national team squad for the June 6 European Championship qualifiers is as follows:

Goalkeepers: Buffon (Juventus), Amelia (Livorno), Abbiati (Turin);

Defenders: Tonetto (Roma), Oddo (AC Milan), Zambrotta (Barcelona), Barzagli (Palermo), Materazzi (Inter Milan), Cannavaro (Real Madrid), Gamberini (Florence), Pasquale (Florence);

Midfielders: Diana (Palermo), De Rossi (Roma), Gattuso (AC Milan), Pirlo (AC Milan), Perrotta (Roma), Maresca (Sevilla);

Forwards: Quagliarella (Sampdoria), Rocchi (Lazio), Del Piero (Juventus), Di Natale (Udinese), Inzaghi (AC Milan), Ricardo Licci (Sevilla);

Of course, although there are only two overseas players in this list, the twin stars of Sevilla are still juniors in the national team; therefore, the biggest highlight of this round of the Italian national team training lineup is undoubtedly the strong return of "Super Pippo". In the just-concluded Champions League final, two wonderful goals helped AC Milan win the trophy and also allowed Inzaghi to conquer Donadoni again.

When he first took over the national team, Donadoni valued Inzaghi very much. But the draw at home against Lithuania in September last year became a watershed. Although he scored a goal, Donadoni said after the game: "If we were less selfish, we would definitely win the game." He implicitly criticized Inzaghi for not passing the ball to Cassano during the game.

Since then, Inzaghi has become a substitute and gradually faded out of the national team. As for why he chose Inzaghi again, Donadoni said frankly: "His recent performance has given me a lot of confidence. There is no problem between us. When choosing players, I always pay attention to the player's recent status."

Since his debut against Brazil on June 1997, 6, Inzaghi has scored 8 goals in 53 games, ranking eighth in the national team's scorer list, tied with Graziani and Vieri. The only active player ahead of him is Del Piero, who has scored 23 goals. Of course, Del Piero was also selected for this national team.

Italy's La Repubblica made a particularly optimistic comment after the announcement of the long list: no matter who Donadoni gives enough trust, their number of goals will be greatly improved because their opponents are the relatively weak Faroe Islands and Lithuania.

Most of the players selected for the roster are familiar faces from Donadoni's previous periods. It is not difficult to see that the former Milan star has completed the transformation of the national team and has begun to form his own tactical style and main team.

Although the upcoming opponents are relatively weak, these two games are the key battles that will determine the fate of the Italians in the 2008 European Cup. Italy is currently ranked fourth in Group B, with Ukraine, Scotland and France ahead by only 2 points. France and Ukraine will fight each other on June 6, while Scotland will only play one game. If Italy can get full 2 points in two games, it can at least rise to the second place in the standings.

However, in these two rounds of European Championship qualifiers, a large number of Italy's main players were unable to go. Totti declined the call-up and has not yet returned, Nesta withdrew on the grounds of getting married, and main players such as Gilardino, Toni, Iaquinta, Camoranesi, and Ambrosini were all absent due to injuries.

Therefore, although Donadoni selected 6 forwards, the national team's attacking lineup without Toni and Totti was obviously not good enough. Of course, Ricardo and Maresca did not think so. Although the two people sitting side by side on the flight thought about different details, they were both full of confidence: as long as Donadoni dared to use me, it would be easy to conquer the city!

However, the two who reported late did not make the starting lineup against the Faroe Islands two days later. After all, they only practiced together for two training sessions, and they were obviously not in the rhythm of the national team. Especially Ricardo, who played the full 90 minutes in the King's Cup final and was still in a fatigue period, Donadoni did not include Ricardo in the roster for the first game.

Maresca, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the King's Cup final, is now on the bench and will wait for his chance with powerful stars such as Quagliarella, Di Natale, De Rossi, Barzagli, Pasquale and Amelia.

法罗群岛当地时间，2007年6月2日晚上20时45分，2008年欧洲杯预选赛在法罗群岛的托尔斯港展开B组的一场角逐，由蓝衣军团意大利队客场挑战白衣蓝库的法罗群岛。

Donadoni deployed a 4-3-3 trident formation, with Rocchi starting ahead of Di Natale, Diana in midfield, his first appearance for Italy since November 2005, and Perrotta on the bench. At left back, Donadoni chose Tonetto instead of Pascual.

The goalkeeper is number one goalkeeper Buffon;

The back line from right to left is No. 22 Oddo, No. 5 captain Cannavaro, No. 23 Materazzi and No. 3 Tonetto;

The iron triangle in the midfield is based on the newly crowned Champions League champion AC Milan, with No. 21 Pirlo, No. 8 Gattuso and No. 15 Diana;

The forward trident is No. 24 Rocky, No. 9 Inzaghi and No. 7 Del Piero.

The Italian Azzurri's opponent, the Faroe Islands national team, is composed entirely of amateur players. They lost all of their previous six games and conceded 6 goals...

There was no fog in Torshavn when the race was about to start, but the weather was wet, cold and windy.

Although Italy does not have the strongest lineup, the media and fans are clearly full of confidence in the Apennine team, believing that the world champions will be able to easily win a big victory against a group of amateur players, laying a good foundation for qualifying for the European qualifiers...
