Chapter 860 You can rest assured to play the Champions Cup
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, 20,000 Mallorca fans cheered enthusiastically. They were very happy to see the team won the King's Cup this season. Last season, Mallorca's unexpected defeat in the King's Cup semi-finals made everyone feel very sorry. Now winning the King's Cup championship means that Mallorca's dream of a triple-champ has achieved its first step!
With enough advantages in the league, Mallorca is striving for the Champions League with all his heart and won the King's Cup. Mallorca's hope of completing the three-time championship and the Champions League three-game championship has become much more realistic!
Amid the cheers of countless Mallorca fans, after running-up Valencia quickly left after receiving the award, it was Mallorca's turn to come on stage to receive the award.
Of course, the one who awarded them medals and trophy was the King of Spain Juan Carlos I.
The full name of the Cup of Kings is the Spanish champion, His Majesty King, His Majesty King, and this cup was originally born to celebrate the ascension of the Spanish King Alfonso XIII. It was renamed as the "Cup of Republic" in 1933. When General Franco was in power in 1939, it was renamed as the "Supreme Commander Cup". After General Franco died in 1976, it was finally changed to its current name in 1977. If it was to change its name again, it would probably have to wait until Juan Carlos I dies...
Now Juan Carlos I is in good health. He presents awards on the spot in the final of the Cup of del Rey every year. Even in the year of the Madrid bombing, the parliament proposed that the king should not go to the scene to avoid danger. He insisted on the scene, and this time was naturally no exception.
Carlos I smiled and put medals on Mallorca's players one by one. He would encourage everyone, and when Jose came up the last, the smile on his face became even stronger.
He lowered his head and let Carlos I hang a medal around his neck, and then Jose shook hands with the King. At this time, he heard the King smile and say, "Jose, don't let go of the Champions League this season... I have been looking forward to the second Spanish team that can win three consecutive championships in the Champions League for a long time! Especially in my office... The last time you lost to Chelsea, it really made me sad for a long time!"
"I won't be there this season, Your Majesty the King." Jose smiled confidently: "That time was just an accident... Although we met Chelsea again this time, Chelsea without Mourinho will definitely not stop Mallorca's pace of progress!"
Hearing this, Carlos I laughed happily, and he patted Jose on the arm: "Do it well, young man, if you can participate in the final of the Champions League, then I will go to the live view! I have not seen the ball at your conch stadium yet."
"Then I will welcome Your Majesty to the Conch Stadium in advance!" Jose bent down slightly and said to Carlos I.
"Carlos I and Jose have been talking for a long time. It seems that he has now loved Mallorca and Real Madrid, and it is not groundless... But it's no wonder that Mallorca has achieved great results in recent years, and don't forget that Mallorca is also a team with a royal prefix. It would be strange if Carlos I was unhappy when he saw such a team creating a dynasty. It's better than when he saw the Dream Team appear in the 1990s..."
Obviously, it was not the Spanish commentator who said this... Although everyone knows that Barcelona has achieved good results, His Majesty the King of Kings will definitely not be too happy, but no Spanish commentator would say such things when explaining.
When Mathias raised the trophy over his head, huge cheers burst out in the stands. This was Mallorca's fifth Spanish Cup of Dec, which also allowed Mallorca to surpass Sevilla and tie Zaragoza, second only to Valencia, who won the sixth-time championship, became the sixth-most team to win the Cup of Dec. On them were Valencia, who won the sixth-time championship, Atletico Madrid, who won the nine-time championship, Real Madrid, who won the seventeen-time championship, Athletic Bilbao, who won the twenty-three championships, and Barcelona, who won the twenty-four-time championships.
Of course, it will not be too difficult for Mallorca to surpass Valencia in the number of times in the Copa del Rey. It is not very difficult to surpass Atletico Madrid. However, if you want to compare with the top three, that is something that can be done in ten or twenty years...
Jose never thought about being the team that won the most Cup of Kings. Spain is different from England. England's FA Cup once seemed more important than the Champions League in the eyes of Premier League teams, so the FA Cup has always been very fierce, and the Cup of Kings is often not the focus of top teams.
I want to win the Copa del Rey this time, just because Jose wants to be the triple crown.
Now that I have won the King's Cup, I will be excited for only a moment. Next, Mallorca will focus all on the league and the Champions League.
The next two games are away games, and Mallorca will not return to Mallorca to celebrate the championship of the King's Cup. After all, for Mallorca, winning the King's Cup is not a very exciting thing. Even Matthias, who had said before that he would give the King's Cup championship to Torres who had resumed training as a gift, just called Torres and told him that we have won the King's Cup. If you don't come back, you will not have your share in the Champions League and the League...
"I have resumed training now, wait for me, and I will come back when you come back from London!" Torres yelled at the phone.
"Hehe, if you are in a bad state, you can only wait and see the final game. It's so pitiful..." Matthias said to the phone, and then quickly hung up the phone before Torres roared and laughed.
Mallorca's opponent in the weekend's league is Murcia, and then in the middle of next week, Mallorca will go away to challenge Chelsea. For this game, Jose does not want to send all the main players. Even though Real Madrid has narrowed the gap behind Mallorca to six points before, Jose does not want to let the main players do their best in this game, and is affected too much in the next Champions League.
This does not mean that Jose is going to give up the league championship, but for him, he has enough confidence in Mallorca's substitute lineup. Even if Murcia, who is in the relegation zone, is difficult to get any benefits in Mallorca's substitute lineup even if she fights for relegation!
As for the warm-up before the Champions League... the final of the Cup of del Rey is enough.
On April 20, at Murcia's home court, Jose rotated all the main players, and even the main goalkeeper Van der Sar did not play, goalkeeper Pento, defenders Puerta, Campano, Sergio, Ivanovic, midfielder Martinez, Farinos, Barack, strikers Iniesta, Silva, and Ronaldo.
Unlike before playing against Sevilla at home, although it was all the substitute lineup, Mallorca launched a fierce offensive battle away, and had to use offense to score three-pointers from the away game!
Mallorca's approach caught Murcia off guard. When Mallorca sent a substitute in the league, he didn't seek to make any contribution but wanted to get one point. However, they ignored one thing. Although he was at Mallorca's home court, Mallorca faced a strong team like Real Madrid and Sevilla. Jose did not want to lose his home unbeaten record. But now? Facing a weak team, if he still uses defensive counterattack tactics, Mallorca would be a little too embarrassed...
Murcia, who had a serious miscalculation of his positioning, immediately suffered a heavy defeat at home.
In the eighth minute of the game, after a series of beautiful passes in the frontcourt, Iniesta initiated his last pass. Ronaldo, who broke into the penalty area, received the ball and pushed the ball directly into the far corner. The ball flew into the blind spot of the goal, one to zero!
Ten minutes later, Farinos received a back pass from Ronaldo and sent a pick pass. The ball crossed Murcia's defense and flew directly into the penalty area. Silva, who was inserted from the left at high speed, removed the ball during the run, and immediately shot at the close-range goal!
Less than twenty minutes into the first half, Mallorca achieved a two-goal lead. Although Murcia fought hard before the end of the first half, Mallorca continued to take the initiative in the second half.
Just one minute into the second half, Iniesta received a pass from Barack and then started at high speed and inserted into the penalty area. When approaching the baseline, he quickly passed the ball across the goal. Ronaldo, who inserted it, scored twice in front of the goal and scored in the goal.
Seeing that Ronaldo was in good condition and active, Jose simply did not replace him, but let him play the whole game.
Ronaldo did not disappoint the fans in the stands. In the 84th minute, Iniesta's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Ronaldo's eyes were fast and his feet were fast, and he immediately shot into the net and completed a hat trick!
Ronaldo scored a hat-trick, Iniesta assisted a hat-trick, four-to-one, Mallorca beat his opponent away!
"Gentlemen, this is Ronaldo! This is his eleventh league goal this season, plus the goals in the cup, Ronaldo has scored fifteen goals! This was done when he was injured and missed the entire first half of the season. He scored eleven goals in the last ten rounds of the league, including two rounds of the league, which means that he completed eleven goals in just eight games, including two hat tricks. In the eight league games he played, he only failed to score! Remember Jose
Have you said before? Ronaldo's recovery is Mallorca's best winter signing, and he will support Mallorca to advance on three fronts at the same time! Now we know why Mallorca has such confidence, because in addition to having a top-level main lineup, they also have a set of substitutes that are not inferior! In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is a substitute lineup. Ronaldo, Iniesta, Silva, Barack... These are all players who have no problem playing the main team in top teams! Mallorca is really powerful now!"
Now, this powerful Mallorca cheers at Murcia's home court. Although Real Madrid also won this round, Mallorca is still six points ahead of them. There are five rounds left in the league, and Mallorca is only one step away from the fifth league championship!
"Now, we can play the Champions League with confidence." Jose said with a smile at the post-match press conference.
This is also the idea of all Mallorca people - at this time, Mallorca has already had a great grasp of the league, and the King's Cup has been obtained, what is left? That is the Champions League!
