After the second leg of the Cup of Rey quarterfinals in Ibiza and Santander Athletics.

All four of the Spanish Cup REE in the 2007/200 season were produced.

Ibiza eliminated the sixth place in La Liga in La Liga with a total score of 6-5 and reached the semi-finals.

The other three teams that entered the final four of the Copa REE all come from La Liga, namely La Liga giants Barcelona and Valencia, and Getafe from Madrid.

According to the schedule, Ibiza's opponent in the semi-finals is Barcelona, ​​while Valencia is going to compete with Getafe for a final spot.

Ibiza entered the semi-finals of the Copa 4, which made the senior executives of the Ibiza club very excited. However, facing Barcelona in the semi-finals was like pouring cold water on everyone's excitement.

Obviously, it is too difficult for Ibiza to eliminate Barcelona in the two rounds of the semi-finals to enter the finals.

After the results of the Catalan media Daily Sports and even the semi-final match between the Copa del Rey came out, they congratulated Barcelona in advance. The newspaper even used the words "Barcelona will meet with Valencia in the Copa del Rey final."

World Sports praised Ibiza and Fang Jue, believing that the young Chinese head coach led the team to the semi-finals for the first time in the Spanish Cup of Dec, which created a miracle.

You see, this is the language art of the media. At first glance, this report praises Fang Jue and Ibiza, but if you carefully appreciate the subtext: Ibiza meets Barcelona in the semi-finals, good luck will end here.

...

Even the local media in Ibiza are pessimistic about Ibiza's prospects in the semi-finals. They also think that Ibiza's magical King's Cup journey has ended here. Of course, these local media in Ibiza have no subtext. They are really happy and proud that Ibiza can reach the semi-finals of the King's Cup.

Even the "Marca", which has a pretty good relationship with Ibiza and Fang Jue, expressed regretfully that Ibiza's luck was really bad when he met Barcelona, ​​but they were proud enough to enter the semi-finals.

The only two almost recognized media "limbing" that firmly expressed their confidence in Ibiza's continued miracles. Of course, if you distinguish them carefully, there is still a difference. The Sunday Telegraph is indeed the licking dog of Ibiza and Fang Jue, and the Catalonian Evening News is not a supporter of Ibiza and Fang Jue, but they have the famous licking dog Mr. Fernando.

The front page of the Sunday Telegraph is very inflammatory: Coach Fang Jue, who can do everything, has created so many miracles, why can't he continue to create miracles?

However, to take advantage of the qualities and abilities of licking dogs, Mr. Fernando can proudly say that "licking" Fang Jue is the most professional. This reporter even listed "Ten reasons why Ibiza will definitely eliminate Barcelona to advance to the finals". We can translate these ten reasons. The general meaning is: First, Ibiza has Fang Jue; Second, coach Fang Jue is very powerful; Third, coach Fang Jue is too awesome; Fourth, coach Fang Jue can do everything, fifth... In short, it is extremely flattering.

Fernando felt that it was too difficult for him. He suppressed his disgusting feeling and tried his best to say such flattering words. In order to find the feeling, he secretly bets 1,000 euros at the betting station to buy Ibiza to advance to the final. This is really a slut. For this 1,000 euros, he had to say these words against his will. However, Fernando felt very strange. I don’t know if it was the psychological effect brought by the betting of this 1,000 euros. He actually did it in one go. He actually thought Ibiza could eliminate Barcelona. He actually thought that bastard was amazing?

I must be crazy.

All of this is an illusion, and it is all the riots of that thousand euros.

...

Fang Jue was also very dissatisfied with Ibiza's encounter with Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

If possible, he certainly would be more willing to meet Getafe in the semi-finals, and then, he also hopes that Ibiza can meet Barcelona in the final.

This is not because Ibiza is not sure to pass Barcelona's level now, and it is like a god's help when he reaches the final. This is because the champion of the Spanish Cup of Kings is qualified for the UEFA Cup. When one of the two teams entering the final can obtain the UEFA Cup qualification or the UEFA Cup qualification based on the league's results and rankings, the runner-up of the Cup of Kings can automatically obtain the UEFA Cup qualification that should be the champion. With Barcelona's strength, it is either the La Liga champion or the runner-up, and it will definitely be qualified for the UEFA Cup. Therefore, if Ibiza does not meet in the semi-finals but meets in the final, Ibiza will automatically obtain the UEFA Cup qualification as long as it reaches the finals.

Now, Ibiza meets Barcelona in the semi-finals, which is the worst case for Ibiza.

First of all, Ibiza wants to cross the powerful Barcelona, ​​which is hell mode.

In addition, the other semi-finals were played between Valencia and Getafe, and Getafe is currently ranked tenth in the La Liga, and it is difficult to qualify for European competition through the La Liga results ranking. As the powerful Valencia, who has the best performance in the past decade in the La Liga, has a relatively bad situation now. Their ranking in the La Liga is even behind Getafe, ranking eleventh in the league. Although Valencia's paper strength is still very strong, it is difficult to say that Valencia can rely on La Liga ranking to qualify for European competition. Therefore, the current situation in Ibiza is that if they want to qualify for the UEFA Cup next season, they will not only have to defeat the powerful Barcelona in the semi-finals, but also eventually defeat Valencia or Getafe in the final.

Of course, it is too early to talk about the King's Cup championship. The first thing Ibiza faces is the semi-finals with Barcelona!

...

Ronaldinho called Fang Jue to congratulate Ibiza on entering the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.

"It's really unimaginable that you were setting up a stall as a vendor a year ago, but now you have led the team to the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey." Ronaldinho sighed.

"I am the master of the United Nations' intangible cultural heritage dissemination." Fang Jue corrected, and then he heard Ronaldinho's laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Fang Jue was also happy. He said, "We still have to eliminate Barcelona and reach the final."

"Hey hey hey, it's day now, don't dream." Ronaldinho shouted.

"It is naturally difficult to play Barcelona with you, but now... hehehe." Fang Jue said with a smile.

Ronaldinho on the other end of the phone was a little silent.

In 2004 and 2005, Ronaldinho won the "World Footballer" for two consecutive years, and won the "European Golden Ball Award" award in 2005. In addition, he won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002. So far, Ronaldinho has won almost all the honors a football player can get, and there is no peak ahead of him to climb. Perhaps it is in this situation that Ronaldinho's condition began to decline, and he lacks motivation and is not as agile as before in the game.

Although his form has declined, Ronaldinho still scored 24 goals and 14 assists in 49 games he played in the 2006/2007 season. Barcelona scored the same points as Real Madrid at the end of the season, but due to the victory or defeat, the final championship belonged to Real Madrid.

He is still one of the best stars on the planet.

However, this season, Ronaldinho has not had a good life.

This season, Ronaldinho has been troubled by injuries, and the rise of Argentine young star Messi makes the Brazilian star no longer so important to Barcelona. In addition, due to his lack of self-discipline, the conflicts with the team's top leaders have intensified, the Catalan media is no longer friendly to this former elf darling. The media has almost reported Ronaldinho's gossip news. Today, it is reported that the Ronaldinho nightclub carnival, and tomorrow it is reported that the Brazilian is fat again.

Halfway through the 2007/200 season, due to injury, Ronaldinho only played ten games for Barcelona, ​​and has recently been on the bench for several consecutive games.

That's why Fang Jue said this.

"Without me, Barcelona is also very powerful, and Leo is very outstanding. If you underestimate him, you will suffer." Ronaldinho said.

"I didn't underestimate Messi, the second place in the Golden Ball, I dare not underestimate it." Fang Jue said with a smile, "But, to be honest, I really want to feel the feeling of being a great Ronaldinho as an opponent..."

"Haha, yes, you are my fan." Ronaldinho said with a smile.

"You are Ronaldinho!" Fang Jue said with a smile.

Ronaldinho on the other end of the phone burst into laughter.

Yes, Fang Jue is a fan of Ronaldinho. In today's football world, who wouldn't like it, or have you ever liked this Brazilian elf who always has a smile on his face?

However, it was obvious that Ronaldinho was not in a good mood, and soon the two ended the call.

After hanging up the phone, Fang Jue shook his head gently. He swears to the handsome guy in the mirror that he is definitely not a furious man. He really hopes to compete with Ronaldinho on the court. This is a scene he never dared to imagine in his dreams.

...

The winter transfer window for the 2007/200 season was also officially closed at 24:00 on January 31.

Ibiza brought in three players and sold one player in this winter transfer window.

Spanish local striker Bedino transfers to Real Sociedad with a transfer fee of 4.5 million euros.

Ibiza spent 1.5 million euros to introduce Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Real Sociedad, and then sublet Bravo to Real Sociedad for half a season with a loan fee of 200,000 euros.

In addition, Ibiza introduced Uruguayan defender Martin Cáceres from Villarreal, with a transfer fee of 3 million euros. Then, according to the negotiation agreement, Cáceres was renewed for free to La Liga team Huelva for half a season.

In the right back position, after substitute right back Rosales was injured, Ibiza introduced 31-year-old Chinese defender Sun Jihai from Manchester City for free.

In this way, Ibiza introduced three players and sold one player throughout the transfer period, and made a net profit of 200,000 euros.

On February 1, Fang Jue entered the system and conducted a routine lottery. No surprises, he won another 'yellow lucky ball'. Now, the number of 'yellow lucky balls' on his hand has reached six.

The walls of Fang Jue's office are covered with Ibiza's recent match schedule. On the dates of February 2 and March 20, Fang Jue circled it with a red marker. This is the date of the Spanish Cup del Rey semi-finals in two rounds with La Liga giants Barcelona.

Fang Jue's eyes flashed as he looked at the two dates he had circled.

...

the next day.

Ibiza Fan Cemetery.

The birds on the branches chirping.

Mrs. Alfonso sat in front of her husband's grave, gently stroked the tombstone, and chatted with Mr. Alfonso. Her voice was very low, as if she was whispering beside her pillow.

"Ibiza eliminated Athletic Santander and entered the semi-finals of the Copa 4."

"Do you still remember? Fang said he wanted to win a King's Cup championship for you. By the way, you got drunk that day."

"But I told you later that you didn't believe it, saying that the boy would brag, but don't think I didn't see it, your whole eyes were glowing at that time."

"After you left, the team eliminated Espanyol and Santander in the Copa del Rey... You must be very happy to hear that. You must be proud, you must still be very owed to play."

"We met Barcelona in the semi-finals, and it was too difficult to reach the final." Mrs. Alfonso sighed softly, "I know, you will definitely say that Ibiza is not afraid of anyone, you are just hard-mouthed. In fact, you are more anxious than anyone else."

"The team is still ranked first in the league. Both in the newspapers and TV say that Ibiza has a great hope of upgrading to La Liga. Okay, okay, I know you are worried. Before the moment of real success, you are like a child holding Christmas stockings, looking forward and worried."

"When you were alive, I never cared about the team, and I didn't even like it. But now, you are lying here, half of my heart is here, and the other half is on the team... You don't let me relax even if you leave."

The voice became lower and lower, and Mrs. Alfonso sobbed in a low voice, "I miss you, Javier."

The sun shines through the branches and projects on the sad old woman's body. The black tombstones did not become warmer because of the sun.
