The top prediction at the start, I am the third ball king

第48章 第五轮比赛开始（求推荐票，求收藏）

Levante's state has exploded this season, and it once overwhelmed the two giants of Barcelona and Real Madrid to occupy the top position in the standings, which shocked the entire Spanish football world.

The coach Ignacio Martinez, who led the team to create all this, has also slowly changed his mentality, from being cautious at the beginning of the season to now bursting with confidence.

So when facing Santa Malaga, he didn't take this miracle-making D-tier team into his eyes at all.

Is Santa Malaga strong?
……

On January [-]th, the weather suddenly turned cloudy, and it began to drizzle at noon, and the temperature dropped sharply.

Although it was raining lightly, it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the fans on both sides.

On the square outside the Rose Garden Stadium, supporters from both sides began to gather.

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

There are not many fans from Levante, but those who come are die-hard fans and the most loyal supporters of the team.

So when they were interviewed, they were very confident.

"Although we are playing away tonight, the victory can only be ours!"

"We have proven ourselves in La Liga this season, now we have to prove ourselves in the Copa del Rey!"

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

On the other side, a Malaga media reporter is interviewing San Malaga fans, who are also full of confidence in Santa Malaga.

"Santa Malaga has given us too much shock, I believe they can shock us tonight!"

"Some people say 'the miracle of Santa Malaga ends here', I don't agree with that statement, because Santa Malaga hasn't won enough!"

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

"Santa Malaga has done so many miracles! I have reason to believe that they can do miracles tonight!"

"Levante is really amazing this season, very strong and beat Real Madrid, but so what? I still have full confidence in San Malaga!"

At 06:30, the Santa Malaga bus drove into the stadium first. After getting off the bus, Pablo went to be interviewed by 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 tonight's game?"

"Levante has been very strong this season and now ranks fourth in the standings. Does San Malaga have the confidence to perform miracles again?"

"Someone criticized your back-and-forth tactics, saying that your game is very ugly. Tonight you are playing at home, will you still use back-and-forth tactics?"

The reporters asked questions one after another.

Pablo answered the reporter's questions calmly with a smile on his face.

"I have always had confidence in the team, we are a group of people who like football, we are a group of people with dreams, we like the feeling of 'winning'!

It is this belief that allows us to overcome various difficulties and defeat our opponents again and again!
On the question of tactics...

I know people are criticizing us and it's normal.

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

We wanted to win, so we used dense defensive tactics, is that a problem?

Of course, we will make changes when the time is right, like tonight! "

The eyes of the reporters brightened. So, Santa Malaga is going to have a confrontation with Levante tonight?

This must be a smoke bomb!
The reporter reacted immediately.

Soon after, the Levante bus arrived, and the reporters immediately turned their attention to Levante.

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

Levante coach Ignacio Martinez arrives before reporters.

A reporter was the first to ask: "Just now the captain of Santa Malaga said in an interview that they will change their dense defensive tactics tonight. What do you think of this?"

Ignacio Martinez raised his eyebrows and his eyes lit up: "Very good, I hope they really give up the dense defense and come to fight us in a duel!"

It's good to fight against each other!
What Ignacio Martinez is worried about is that Santa Malaga will hide and defend. Now he hears that Santa Malaga is going to play against each other, which is exactly what he wants.

Ignacio Martinez's attitude towards Santa Malaga has undergone a 180-degree change, and he praised Santa Malaga with a smile on his face and said:
"Santa Malaga is a very strong team, otherwise they would not be able to eliminate four professional teams in a row. I think they are fully capable of playing with professional teams!
If they did, it would earn my respect! "

After leaving the reporter, Ignacio Martinez sneered in his heart: Confrontation?
You think I'm an idiot?

……

At [-]:[-], players from both sides returned to the locker room after warming up to make final preparations for the upcoming game.

In the locker room of the visiting team, 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 use this game to train and let everyone recover. Tonight's game Everyone should invest in it.

Well, at least come up with a 60.00% state!

The opponent will definitely retreat half the court, we must be patient when attacking! "

Home team locker room.

After Antonio finished arranging the starting lineup, he said loudly: "Every game we have now is a historical moment. I hope that when we get old and recall these years in the future, we can say boldly, 'I'm here, I'm here. I did my best and I did it!'!"

There were whistles and applause, and Liag said loudly: "Coach, the ideological problem was solved yesterday afternoon in the park. These guys are holding back their energy now. Just tell me what to do tonight!"

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

This resonated, and many players expressed their support.

"Go out! Fight against them!"

"Offense is the best defense!"

"Attack! Attack is the essence of Spanish football! It is the thinking of Spanish football!"

Antonio exchanged glances with Captain Pablo and nodded.

Abandoning intensive defense has actually been proposed by some players. Before that, they followed Antonio's advice for the sake of performance, but this idea has always been in the hearts of the players.

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

In other words, they believe that there are only two games left in the Copa del Rey journey, and tonight's game is a home game. If they don't play tonight, there will be no chance for the next round of away games.

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

After the players' voices subsided, Antonio nodded to them and said, "Since everyone wants to go out, let's go out tonight!"

These words immediately ignited the locker room.

"it is good!"

"Long live the coach!"

"Coach, I love you!"

"The high-position pressing practiced before is finally useful!"

Li Chuanqi's eyes lit up, finally ready to fight? !

……

At [-]:[-], the starting players of both sides appeared in the player tunnel and followed the four referees into the stadium from the player tunnel.

In addition to the rain, what greeted them was cheers like mountains and tsunami!
The stands were largely occupied by San Malaga supporters, who were from Malaga, but also D-level football players from all over the country.

Levante supporters numbered in the pitiful few hundred, their voices silenced by the overwhelmingly strong supporters of San Malaga.

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

In the broadcast booth, the commentator of Malaga TV shouted into the microphone: "I am at the Rose Garden Stadium!

The fifth round of the Copa del Rey will be live for you soon, Santa Malaga vs. Levante! "

Malaga's game is also scheduled tonight, but their game will start after this game, so the TV station decided to broadcast the Santa Malaga game first, and then broadcast the Malaga game.

This is also in line with public opinion.

You must know that in the last game, the TV station did not broadcast the TV of San Malaga, and the phone of the TV station was almost exploded.
