Levante is in full form this season, once defeating Barcelona, ​​and the two giants of Real Madrid occupy the top spot in the standings, shocking the entire Spanish football world.

The mentality of coach Ignacio Martinez, who led the team to create all this has gradually changed, from being cautious at the beginning of the season to being full of confidence now.

So when facing San Malaga, he did not take this miracle team at all.

Is San Malaga very strong?

...

On January 4th, the weather suddenly turned cloudy, and it started drizzling at noon and the temperature dropped sharply.

Although it was drizzling in the sky, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of the fans on both sides.

Supporters from both sides began to gather in the square outside the Rose Garden Stadium.

The reporters who arrived at the scene in advance took this opportunity to interview fans from both sides.

There are not many fans coming to Levante, but those who come are all die-hard fans and are the team's most loyal supporters.

So when they were interviewed, they were confident.

"Although we are away games tonight, we can only win!"

"We have proved ourselves in La Liga this season, and now we are going to prove ourselves in the Cup of del Rey!"

"Of course we will win, Levante won, there is no second possibility!"

On the other side, a Malaga media reporter is interviewing San Malaga fans, who are equally confident in San Malaga.

"San Malaga has already brought us so much shock, and I believe they can still shock us tonight!"

“Someone said ‘The miracle of San Malaga ends here’, and I don’t agree with this, because San Malaga hasn’t won enough yet!”

"San Malaga hasn't won enough yet! San Malaga will win tonight!"

"San Malaga has created so many miracles! I have reason to believe that they can still create miracles tonight!"

"Levante is indeed very amazing this season, very strong, and has beaten Real Madrid, but so what? I am still full of confidence in San Malaga!"

At half past six, the San Malaga bus drove into the stadium first. After getting off the bus, Pablo went to interview with reporters as a representative of the team, and the others walked towards the locker room.

"As the captain, Mr. Pablo, do you have confidence in the game tonight?"

"Levante is very strong this season and is now ranked fourth in the standings. Is San Malaga confident of creating a miracle again?"

"Someone criticized your turtle-retreatment tactics, saying that your game is very ugly. You are fighting at home tonight, will you still use the turtle-retreatment tactics?"

The reporters asked questions one after another.

Pablo answered reporters' questions calmly with a smile.

“I have always been full of confidence in the team. We are a group of people who like football, a group of people who have dreams, and we like the feeling of ‘win’!

It is this belief that allows us to overcome all kinds of difficulties and defeat our opponents again and again!

About tactics...

I know that someone is criticizing us, and that's normal.

A Class D team plays against a high-level league team. If you want to win, you can only use intensive defensive tactics.

We wanted to win, so we used intensive defensive tactics. Is there any problem?

Of course, we will make changes at the right time, like tonight!”

The reporters' eyes lit up. So, San Malaga is going to have a battle against Levante tonight?

This must be a smoke bomb!

The reporter immediately reacted.

Not long after, Levante's bus arrived, and the reporters immediately turned their attention to Levante.

Pablo glanced at him and quickly ended the reporter's interview.

Levante head coach Ignacio Martinez came to the reporter.

A reporter asked first: "Captain San Malaga said in an interview just now that they will change their intensive defensive tactics tonight. What do you think about this?"

Ignacio Martinez raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up: "It's great, I hope they really give up on intensive defense and come and play a battle against us!"

It's good to play against each other!

What Ignacio Martinez is worried about is San Malaga's tugs to defend. Now he hears that San Malaga is going to play against the opponent, which is exactly what he wants.

Ignacio Martinez's attitude towards San Malaga took a 180-degree change, and he praised San Malaga with a smile on his face and said:

"San Malaga is a very strong team, otherwise they would not have eliminated four professional teams in a row. I think they are fully capable and the professional team will let go!

If they do, they will win my respect!”

After leaving the reporter, Ignacio Martinez sneered in his heart: Battle against the attack?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

...

At 6:50, players from both sides ended the warm-up and returned to the locker room to prepare for the upcoming game.

In the visiting team's locker room, after Ignacio Martinez announced the starting lineup, he looked at his players and said in a deep voice: "The winter break is over, we just happened to use this game to train and restore everyone's form. Everyone should invest in the game tonight.

Well, at least sixty percent of the time!

The opponent will definitely shrink from the half, we must be patient when attacking!"

Home team locker room.

After Antonio arranged the starting lineup, he shouted: "Now every game we play is a historical moment. I hope that when we grow old and recall these years, we can say heroically, 'I'm here, I've tried my best, I did it!'!"

There was a whistle and applause, and Leagy said loudly: "Coach, the problem of thought has been solved at the park court yesterday afternoon. These guys are holding on to their energy now. Just say what to do tonight!"

This caused a burst of laughter, and Zukulini said with a smile: "Coach, let's just attack tonight. Anyway, we have made history, and I don't want to be so conservative anymore!"

This resonated with many players who expressed their support.

"Attack out! Fight against them!"

"Offensive is the best defense!"

"Occurrence! Offense is the essence of Spanish football! It is the Spanish football idea!"

Antonio exchanged glances with captain Pablo and nodded.

In fact, some players have already proposed it. For the sake of results, they followed Antonio's opinion, but this idea has always been in the minds of the players.

Levante is in amazing form this season and once ranked first in the La Liga standings. Many players in San Malaga subconsciously believe that it is almost impossible to pass Levante's level.

In other words, they believe that there are only two games left in the King's Cup, and tonight's game is home games. If the game is not allowed to play tonight, there will be no chance for the next away game.

Antonio and Pablo had many exchanges on the matter, and Pablo finally convinced Antonio.

After the players' voices slowly subsided, Antonio nodded at them and said, "Since everyone wants to attack, then we will attack tonight!"

These words ignited the locker room.

"good!"

"Long live the coach!"

"Coach, I love you!"

"The high-pressing I practiced in the past finally has its place to be useful!"

Li Chuanqi's eyes lit up, and she was finally ready to fight against each other?!

...

At 7:15, the starting players of both sides appeared in the player channel and followed the four referees from the player channel into the stadium.

In addition to the rain, they were greeted with cheers like tsunamis!

The stands are basically occupied by supporters from San Malaga, including those from Malaga and players from Class D football circles from all over the country.

Levante's supporters were only a few hundred, and their voices were suppressed by the dominant San Malaga supporters.

Among the fans of both sides, there were more than a dozen scouts from different clubs.

At the broadcast seat, the commentator of Malaga TV said loudly to the microphone: "I'm at the Rose Garden Stadium!

What will be broadcast live for you is the fifth round of the Copa del Rey, San Malaga vs. Levante!”

The Málaga game was also scheduled tonight, but their game only started after the end of the game, so the TV station decided to broadcast the San Malaga game first and then broadcast the Málaga game.

This is also in line with public opinion.

You should know that in the last game, the TV station did not broadcast San Malaga's TV, and the TV station's phone number was almost blown up.
Chapter completed!
