Chapter 25 Finals Begin



Chapter 25 Finals Begin

"Winner's Cup" will become a historical term.The following season, the Cup Winners' Cup was merged into the UEFA Cup.

In recent years, with the expansion of the Champions League, the level of teams participating in the European Cup Winners' Cup has been slightly lowered, resulting in a decline in the status of this cup.

But the two teams that collided in this year's final must be good enough. Coincidentally, both Lazio and Mallorca happen to be in the second place in the league.

In the pre-match interview, the coaches of both sides geared up early, vowing to win the last Cup Winners Cup for the team.

Last season, Lazio also reached the UEFA Cup final, but lost to Inter Milan. If they lose the European Cup Winners Cup this season, they will definitely be empty-handed, and Eriksson will definitely leave get out of class.

Eriksson touched his big forehead and showed a foolish smile, "For me, the most important thing is to win, and to win by any means is also the football philosophy I have learned. As the coach, I and Cooper The difference in my football philosophy is that I value defense more."

In fact, Hector Cooper is also a defensive coach. The level of the two is similar, but Cooper is less lucky. He reached the finals and basically won the runner-up. Yes, the uncrowned king.

Vieri smiled, "I am in very good condition and full of confidence. Although we lost two good guys, Stankovic, Cotto and Simeone, we still have strong strength."

"How do you evaluate your teammate Lin Lian?" Needless to say, the person who asked the question must be a reporter from Huaxia Country, with eager eyes.

"Haha, Lin Lian is my good friend. He has unparalleled speed and technique. I believe he will be the one who decides the game in the near future. He has such talent, I promise."

Emm... great, very down to earth.Journalists love to hear.Mr. Vieri, your reputation in China is much better.

Compared with Eriksson's high evaluation of Lin Lian, Mallorca's side is a bit unsatisfactory.

When Cooper heard Lin Lian's name, he was confused, "Lin Lian? Who is Lin Lian?"

Like a breeze sweeping away fallen leaves, the expectations in the hearts of Huaxia journalists vanished.

Cooper doesn't care. He cares more about whether the team can win. Although he is about to leave Mallorca and join Valencia, standing on the last post is definitely a manifestation of professionalism. He wants to use the championship to follow the ball Team farewell.

"This is the last European Cup Winners' Cup. I hope to have a happy ending. It is the best ending for me and the team." Cooper has the same silver hair as Eriksson, but he is full of energy .

In the summer of 1997, Cooper turned Mallorca's fortunes around.Last season, Mallorca lost to Barcelona on penalties in the final of the Copa del Rey. Because Barcelona will participate in the Champions League, Mallorca won the Cup Winners' Cup ticket.

This season, they even stayed at the top of La Liga for several weeks.Club chairman Reigns called the Cup Winners' final "the biggest event in the club's 83-year history." Nearly 7 Mallorca fans crossed the Channel to Birmingham to cheer for the team.

Their desire to win is as urgent as Lazio.

Lazio is star-studded. Although Mallorca is slightly lacking in star flavor, it has a strong central axis and a particularly good defense. It is the team with the best goals conceded in La Liga this season.

After losing the match against Fiorentina, Lazio regained their composure and prepared very meticulously. Before the game, Eriksson used a little strategy to announce that Stankovic might not be able to play. In fact, he has already met the conditions for playing and will be confirmed tomorrow. starter.

Eriksson's surprise strategy.

Lin Lian trained with the team and also felt the tense and depressing atmosphere.Instead, he felt excited from the bottom of his heart, the most important game of this season, he couldn't fail.

Before the finals, everyone would be nervous. Lin Lian did not change his training habits, but when he was robbing the lap, his movements were a little smaller. This time period is very sensitive. If there is something wrong with his body, he will regret it for life.

The day passed by in a blink of an eye.

The game is about to start and the players enter the field.The fans at the scene warmed up better than them. They had already started to make a crowd. There were also some Huaxia students studying at the scene. At this time, they pulled up a banner: "Support Lin Lian, Huaxia is proud."

"My beloved Lin Lian, I will never change in this life."

After Lin Lian warmed up, he went straight to the bench. Yes, he was just a bench, and it was important to watch the show.

The lineup arranged by Lazio is quite ideal. The goalkeeper is Marchegiani. On the back line, Pancaro, Nesta, Mihajlovic and Favalli are lined up. As long as Nesta is there, Lazio added three-point confidence.

The midfielders Conceicao, Stankovic, Almeida and Nedved will start together, both offensive and defensive. If Simeone can play, the game is basically a sure thing. So far, there are still variables.

In the forward position, the two masters Vieri and Salas started again. They are the best cards in Eriksson's hand.

Craniotti has already promised him, as long as he wins the European Cup Winners' Cup, the summer transfer window, continue to spend money, spend a lot of money, buy strikers, next season, see who can stop it.

On the Mallorca side, the same elites are out.In the goalkeeper position, it is Argentine goalkeeper Roa.One of the best goalkeepers in the world, and Roa is a devout Christian, and then he decided to "strike" at the turn of the millennium, so he decided not to renew his contract with the Mallorca team, which is his last One shift.

On the back line, Soler, Siviero, Marcellinho and Lauren are lined up. The central defender Marcellinho is a Spanish international and the core of Mallorca's defense. Siviero is Cooper The fellows are all from Argentina.

The midfield four, Ibagaza, Jovan Stankovic, Olesola, and Ngonga, the forward combination is Dani and Biagini.

Mallorca's frontcourt combination is not easy to deal with. Cameroonian Lauren is good at technology. Argentine foreign aid Ibagaza and Yugoslavian Stankovic are the main players in organizing offense. They are with Biagini and Dani The striker cooperated tacitly.

The 33-year-old veteran Ngonga is always strong and was selected for the national team some time ago.

The forward line is also Cooper's biggest trump card.

Argentine striker Biaghini was in top form, scoring the winning goal in the second leg of the semi-final against Chelsea. The 24-year-old Dani is hot, his skills are not even worse than Lin Lian, and his speed and height are also very similar to Lin Lian.Dani has just taken the main position in the national team, and many teams have extended an olive branch to him, and his value has skyrocketed.

In the Premier League alone, teams such as Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Sheffield Wednesday have asked for offers, ready to recruit him.

With the whistle of the referee Benko from Austria, the last European Cup Winners' Cup officially began.

In the U1996 European Cup final in 21, the undergraduate sent off two Italian players in one breath. Since then, he has not enforced the Italian team in the national team or club team competition, which is a bit scary.

"This lineup, this strength, no matter how you look at it, it's hard to deal with it!" Lin Lian didn't know what to do, and he didn't know what effect the butterfly effect he had had.

Can the team easily win the European Cup Winners' Cup?
