Chapter 371 Winter Break
Spain's winter break is much shorter than Ukraine. Ukraine is a long holiday, and La Liga can only be regarded as a short holiday, but compared to the Premier League, La Liga is better.
So in such a short time, Xu Qi's work was quickly completed.
In addition to returning to China to participate in a commercial activity and a charity event, he also gathered with his former friends in the past few days.
After these guys went to college, they have changed a lot, but compared to Xu Qi, they are all just students, and Xu Qi has now become a professional athlete.
Moreover, he is also the most popular athlete in the Chinese sports world today.
Even Xu Qi himself feels sad about his changes in recent years.
This year, Xu Qi didn't have time to attend any New Year's Eve concerts, and he had no time at all. Xu Qi only stayed in China for five days. Before New Year's Eve, Xu Qi set off for back to Spain.
At this time, the winter transfer window also opened, so there are indeed quite a few rumors about the winter transfer.
However, he has reached the semi-finals of 16 in the Champions League. He has publicly expressed his hope to continue playing for Valencia and hopes to win the championship for Valencia.
A series of statements have also won the stronger love of Valencia fans. Faced with the invitations from many wealthy clubs, Xu Qi did not have any urgency. He knew that he would have a chance to become a member of those top wealthy clubs sooner or later, and he knew there was no need to worry.
On the one hand, Valencia definitely does not want the team's thighs to be poached by those giant teams only after playing in the team for half a year. Second, Xu Qi's contract penalty for the contract was also very high, exceeding 60 million euros. As long as Valencia does not let go, other giants are not willing to give such a high liquidated damages to force poach people.
Moreover, Xu Qi ignored the charming eyes thrown by the wealthy teams.
After all, Xu Qi has very rational and reasonable plans for his career. He feels that he can play for Valencia for a longer time and cannot be anxious about some things.
Soon, Xu Qi returned to the team on time and began to participate in training with the team.
Back to Spain, the first game was not the La Liga, but the Copa del Rey.
There is still a second leg to play against Villarreal in the Cup of Relations. In the first leg, Valencia tied with Villarreal at home.
In this game, Xu Qi will play the second game of the season with the team at the Love Song Stadium.
After all, this game is the first game of the two sides ending the winter break, and it is the second leg of the King's Cup 8thfinals.
This is a key game that can determine who can advance and who will be eliminated.
Therefore, both sides will send out all the main players, and Xu Qi will naturally start.
Of course, Villarreal is also the main force, including Rossi, Cazorla and other major players.
The match between the third place in the league and the fourth place in the league is also a very attractive view of fans.
At the beginning of this game, Banega received a pass from Mata to score, helping Valencia take the lead by 1-0.
Valencia definitely doesn't want to give up such a Cup of Kings. Although the third-line battle is very difficult for them, they don't want to give up any front.
Valencia started very well. They once controlled the situation on the field at the Love Song Stadium, and in the 23rd minute, Soldado scored another goal.
Two to zero!
Valencia is approaching the quarterfinals of the King's Cup.
However, Villarreal is not a team that will surrender easily at home.
In this game, Xu Qi performed averagely on Valencia's attacking line. After all, he just finished his vacation and his condition has not been fully adjusted. However, other players are in better shape than those of Villarreal.
But in the second half, Villarreal suddenly became better, and they began to take over the game at their home court.
In the forty-seven minutes, a shot from Cazorla's goal narrowed the gap in score to 2-1.
Just two minutes later, Giuseppe Rossi personally created a penalty kick, and then he took the penalty himself. Villarreal made up for the disadvantage of falling behind two goals within less than five minutes of the second half, and they tied the score.
However, this does not allow them to advance because the King's Cup match also depends on away goals. Although the total score is the same 2-2, Valencia has two away goals, so Villarreal must win at home to advance.
In the 63 minutes, Villarreal, with strong toughness, overtook the score in the 63 minutes, and the goal was Ruben!
This situation was very difficult for Valencia. He led two goals and was scored three goals in a row by his opponent. The team showed signs of collapse.
Gradually, Valencia also began to lose the initiative, and Villarreal played more calmly while leading.
At the critical moment, Xu Qi was not in good condition and showed his ability. He and his teammates cooperated and broke into the penalty area and also created a penalty kick.
The opponent's Rossi created a penalty kick, and then Valencia created a penalty kick through Xu Qi.
Xu Qi personally took the penalty kick. In fact, Emery arranged the penalty kick before the game to let Xu Qi take the penalty kick. There is nothing wrong with Xu Qi taking the penalty kick.
Xu Qi easily assisted and achieved it overnight!
Three to three, the two sides tied again, but Valencia still had the advantage of away goals.
The Villarreal team needs to continue attacking again, and Xu Qi's penalty kick completely stabilized Valencia's team.
However, Villarreal is also strong and resilient enough. Just when many people think that the game is over, Villarreal actually scored another goal, and it was Rossi who scored the goal.
Rossi scored twice, four to three, and a super goal battle, Valencia was in trouble again.
There is not much time left, but the game is so open in the second half. Villarreal scored just now, and Valencia scored another goal, and Xu Qi assisted Joaquin to score!
Four to four!
In the second leg of the Cup of del Rey, two La Liga powerhouses actually played a four-to-four matchup, which many people did not expect before the game.
During the game, both sides attacked with all their might, but they ignored the defense.
Four to four is also the final score of this game. In the end, Valencia successfully entered the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, relying on the advantage of away goals.
Chapter completed!
