When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, 20,000 Mallorca fans cheered enthusiastically. They were happy to see the team win the Copa del Rey this season - last season's Mallorca fans Lorca's unexpected defeat in the Copa del Rey semi-finals made everyone feel regretful. Now that they have won this Copa del Rey, it means that Mallorca's Triple Crown dream has reached the first step!
The advantage in the league is sufficient. Mallorca is fully committed to the Champions League and won the King's Cup. Mallorca's hope of completing the Triple Crown and three consecutive Champions League titles has become much more realistic!
Amid the cheers of countless Mallorca fans, after runner-up Valencia quickly left after receiving the award, it was Mallorca's turn to take the stage to receive the award.
The person who awarded them medals and trophies was, of course, King Juan Carlos I of Spain.
The current full name of the King's Cup is the Cup of His Majesty King Don Juan Carlos I of the Spanish Champions. This cup was originally born in 1902 to celebrate the accession of King Alfonso XIII of Spain to the throne. It was renamed the "Republic Cup" in 1933, and when General Franco came to power in 1939, it was renamed the "Supreme Commander's Cup". After General Franco's death in 1976, it was finally changed to the Cup in 1977. If the current name needs to be changed again, I'm afraid it will have to wait until Juan Carlos I dies
And now Juan Carlos I is still in good health. He will present the award at the King's Cup final every year. Even in the year of the Madrid bombing, the parliament proposed that the king not go to the scene to avoid danger, but he persisted. When we arrived at the scene, this time was no exception.
Carlos I smiled and hung up the medals for the Mallorca players one by one. He would give a few words of encouragement to each one. When Jose came up last, the smile on his face became even bigger.
He lowered his head and asked Carlos I to hang a medal around his neck, and then Jose shook hands with the king. At this time, he heard the king say with a smile: "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 Champions League titles for a long time! Especially during my tenureThe last time you lost to Chelsea, it really made me sad for a long time!"
"This season will not happen, His 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 Block Mallorca¡¯s progress!¡±
Hearing this, Carlos I laughed happily, and he patted Jose on the arm: "Do a good job, young man, if you can participate in the Champions League final, then I will go and watch it live! I haven't yet I watched the game at your Conch Stadium."
"Then I will welcome His Majesty to the Conch Stadium in advance!" Jose said to Carlos I with a slight bend.
"Carlos I has been chatting with Jose for a long time. It seems that the rumors that he now loves Mallorca and Real Madrid equally are not groundless But it is no wonder that Mallorca has performed so well in recent years. , and don¡¯t forget, Mallorca is also a team with a royal prefix. Seeing such a team create a dynasty, it¡¯s no wonder Carlos I is unhappy. It¡¯s better than seeing the Dream Team in the 1990s. Be nice when you show up¡¡±
¡°Obviously, the one who said this was not a Spanish commentator Although everyone knows that His Majesty the King will not be too happy when Barcelona achieves good results, no Spanish commentator would say such a thing during commentary.
Huge cheers erupted from the stands as Mat¨ªas lifted the trophy above his head. This was Mallorca's fifth Copa del Rey title, which also allowed Mallorca to surpass Sevilla. , tied with Zaragoza, and is second only to Valencia, which has won six times, as the team with the sixth most Copa del Rey wins. Above them are Valencia, which has won six times, Atletico Madrid, which has won nine times, and Real Madrid has won the championship 17 times, Athletic Bilbao has won the championship 23 times and Barcelona has won the championship 24 times.
Of course, it would not be too difficult for Mallorca to surpass Valencia in the number of Copa del Rey games, and it would not be very difficult to surpass Atletico Madrid. However, if you want to compare with the top three, it will not be very difficult. What can be done in twenty years
Jose has never thought about becoming the team that has won the most Copa del Rey. Spain is different from England. England's FA Cup was once considered more important than the Champions League by Premier League teams, so the FA Cup has always been The competition is very fierce, and the King's Cup is often not the focus of the top teams.
¡°We want to win the King¡¯s Cup this time just because Jose wants to be the Triple Crown winner.
Now that we have won the Copa del Rey, the excitement will only last for a moment, and then Mallorca will focus all its attention.?Place it in the league and Champions League.
The next two games are all away games, and Mallorca will not return to Mallorca to celebrate this King's Cup championship. After all, for Mallorca, winning this King's Cup championship is not a big deal. What an exciting thing. Even Matias, who had previously said that he would give the King's Cup champion as a gift to Torres who had resumed training, only called Torres and told him that we had won the King's Cup. If you don¡¯t come back, the Champions League and the league won¡¯t be part of you either
¡°I have resumed training now, wait for me, I will be back when you come back from London!¡± Torres yelled into the phone.
"Hey, if you are not in good condition then, you will have to wait and see the final game. How pitiful" Matias said to the phone, and then hung up quickly before Torres roared. phone and laughed.
Mallorca's opponent in the weekend's league round is Murcia, and then in the middle of next week Mallorca will go to challenge Chelsea away. For this game, Jose does not want to send all the main players, even if Real Madrid has already The gap behind Mallorca has been reduced to six points, and Jose does not want to let the main players go all out in this game and be too affected in the subsequent Champions League.
This is not to say that Jose will give up the league championship, but for him, he also has enough confidence in Mallorca's substitute lineup. Even if Murcia, which is in the relegation zone, is at his home court, even for Fighting hard to avoid relegation, it is difficult to get any benefits from Mallorca's substitute lineup!
As for the warm-up before the Champions League the final of the King's Cup is enough.
On April 20, at the home court of Murcia, Jose rotated all the main players. Even the main goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar did not play. Goalkeeper Pinto, defenders Puerta, Campano, Sergio , Ivanovic, midfielder Martinez, Farinos, Ballack, forward Iniesta, Silva, Ronaldo.
What is different from the previous home game against Sevilla is that although the entire substitute lineup was used, Mallorca launched a fierce offensive battle in the away game and used offense to get three points from the away game!
This approach of Mallorca caught Murcia off guard. When Mallorca sent out substitutes in the league before, they only wanted to get one point without seeking merit but without demerit. However, they ignored it. One thing, even though it was at Mallorca's home court before, Mallorca faced strong teams like Real Madrid and Sevilla. Jose didn't want to lose his unbeaten record at home, but now ? Facing a weak team, if Mallorca still uses defensive counterattack tactics, it would be too embarrassing for Mallorca
Murcia, which seriously miscalculated its positioning, immediately suffered a heavy defeat at home.
In the eighth minute of the opening, after a series of beautiful passes in the frontcourt, Iniesta instigated the last pass. Ronaldo, who broke into the penalty area, received the ball and directly pushed the ball into the far corner. The ball flew into the dead center of the goal. One to zero. !
Ten minutes later, Farinos received a pass from Ronaldo and then raised his foot to send a pass. The ball passed Murcia's defense and flew directly to the penalty area. Silva, who inserted from the left at high speed, was running. He unloaded the ball and immediately volleyed to score from the near corner!
Less than twenty minutes into the first half, Mallorca took a two-goal lead. Although Murcia fought hard to get a point back before the end of the first half, Mallorca continued to take the initiative in the second half. .
Only one minute into the second half, Iniesta received a pass from Ballack and inserted into the penalty area at high speed. When he was close to the bottom line, he quickly passed the ball in front of the goal. Ronaldo, who was inserted, faced the empty goal and pushed and scored twice. .
Seeing that Ronaldo was in good condition and very active, Jose simply did not replace him, but let him play the entire game.
And Ronaldo did not disappoint the fans in the stands. In the 84th minute, Iniesta's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper. Ronaldo had quick eyes and quick feet and shot into the net immediately to complete the hat trick!
Ronaldo scored a hat trick, Iniesta assisted a hat trick, 4 to 1, Mallorca beat their opponents away from home!
"Gentlemen, this is Ronaldo! This is already his eleventh league goal this season. With the goals in the cup, Ronaldo has scored fifteen goals! This is after he was injured and missed the entire last season. He completed it in half a season. In the last ten league rounds, he scored 11 goals, and he did not appear in two of them. This means that he scored 11 goals in only eight games. goals, including two hat tricks. In the eight league games he played, he failed to score in only one game! Remember what Jose said before? Ronaldo¡¯sFu is Mallorca's best winter signing. 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-notch main lineup, they also have a backup lineup that is not inferior! In fact, it is not appropriate to say that it is a substitute lineup. Ronaldo, Iniesta, Silva, Ballack these are all players who have no problem playing as the main force in top teams! Mallorca is so powerful now! "
Now, this powerful Mallorca is cheering heartily at the home court of Murcia. Although Real Madrid also won this round, Mallorca still leads them by six points. There are still five rounds left in the league. Lorca 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 thought of all Mallorcans - at this time, Mallorca is already very confident in the league, and has also won the Copa del Rey. What is left? That's the Champions League!
