Chapter 459: Stand Up for Beckham

Winning the World Footballer of the Year award is indeed something to be happy about.

Not only Wang Li himself was happy, the media and fans in Madrid were equally happy, because their arch-rivals Barcelona had been boasting that their team had last year's Footballer of the Year, and now that they had this year's World Footballer of the Year, they could fight back without restraint.

Anyway, Ronaldinho and Wang Li lost the competition for the World Footballer of the Year, and Madrid fans and media have reason to be happy.

.

However, when Wang Li returned to the club and accepted congratulations from his teammates, he returned to training.

Even though he has received the highest honor in his career, he cannot just hold on to the honor. Life goes on, the league goes on, and Christmas is coming soon. In order to have a good Christmas, Wang Li does not want to lose in the next league.

Before Christmas, Real Madrid will have two more league games, one away against Malaga and one at home against Osasuna.

The team's head coach Carlo also attaches great importance to these two games. These are the last two games before Christmas, and no one wants to lose again. If they lose again, not only the Real Madrid executives will be unhappy, but the players will also not be satisfied.

However, these two opponents are not very strong and there is a certain gap between them and Real Madrid, so the team is not very nervous. They just want to win a few league games smoothly. The team has finally passed the difficult period, and they don’t want to enter another difficult period again.

Málaga Club de Fútbol (Málaga Club defutbol) is located in Málaga, Andalusia, Spain, which is one of the metropolitan areas in Spain. According to statistics, there are nearly 10 million people in the Málaga metropolitan area, and the Magat urban area has a population of 550,000.

In such a big city, Malaga should have a lot of fans, but due to historical reasons, they do not have many die-hard supporters. The Rose Garden Stadium, built in 1941, can only accommodate 38,000 people after several renovations, which is definitely at the bottom among the La Liga teams.

In fact, the football history of Malaga Club de Fútbol is very poor, as they only entered the Spanish La Liga in 1999.

However, their performance has been good since then. At least they have not been relegated until now, and they have firmly established their foothold in La Liga. Their ranking has also been in the middle in recent years.

But this small club is nothing compared to Real Madrid.

Before the game, Malaga coach Antonio Tapia said modestly: "We are just a small club. In the summer, we invested a total of 1.5 million euros in the transfer market and earned 2 million euros from selling Angel Miguel. They spent 250 million euros. Our budget is 100 times different from theirs."

"I didn't think about winning, but we have to play with the team's momentum. Before the game, I told the players that losing is not terrible, what is terrible is not having a heart to pursue victory. They understand, so we will play hard."

Antonio Tapia's words did not receive a response. After the entire Real Madrid team arrived in Malaga, they have been training and preparing for the game. The team did not accept any public interviews until before the game, when coach Carlo attended the press conference.

However, Carlo did not say much at the meeting. He just emphasized that Real Madrid would play seriously.

Both sides performed very calmly in this game. After the game started, the scene seemed very calm. However, as Wang Li scored two goals in a row, the score became 2:0 in 20 minutes, and the scene became much more violent.

Seeing that victory was hopeless, the Malaga players started to make bigger moves. Of course, the Real Madrid players would not allow themselves to be "bullied", so the game at the Rose Garden almost became a 10v10 wrestling match.

Not long after the start of the game, young player Robinho became the first victim. He was knocked to the ground by the opponent's defender. Fortunately, he did not suffer any serious injuries, just some abrasions. However, this foul directly triggered the anger of Real Madrid players.

This situation made the head coach Carlo feel uneasy. He was worried that the players on the field would get injured, which would be a loss. So he immediately replaced Ronaldo and Baptista, who were prone to injury. This made him feel more at ease.

. Then he seemed to turn into Mourinho, walked to the fourth official's ear and kept nagging.

The fourth official felt like a swarm of flies were buzzing around his ears and was extremely annoyed. As a representative of the Spanish Football Association who came to the stadium, he had no power at all and was just keeping records on the field. However, these head coaches wanted to bother him with everything they had.

The game under such circumstances made Carlo's worries come true. At the beginning of the second half, David Beckham wanted to make a long pass to the penalty area from the wing, but the ball was passed out, but he was tackled to the ground by the opponent's midfielder Morales. After falling to the ground, he immediately hugged his calf and cried out in pain.

At the same time, after getting the ball, Wang Li turned around and shot the ball into the net, and the score became 3:0.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

After scoring the goal, Wang Li did not celebrate at all, but ran directly to David Beckham to check his injury. After he and the team doctor pulled off his socks, they saw several stud marks on his calves and blood was flowing out, which made Wang Li angry.

He stood up and stared at the attacker who had tackled Beckham - the opponent's No. 13 Morales. However, the opponent seemed completely unmoved, with a disdainful smile on his face, as if to say, "Come and hit me? You just finished your suspension, and you want to be suspended again?"

This scene made the referee, who had just shown the yellow card, so anxious that he stopped Wang Li directly and warned him not to do anything out of line.

Although he was indignant and wanted to kick the ball back for Beckham, reason made Wang Li calm down. There were many opportunities for revenge on the court, so there was no need to rush.

After the game resumed, Wang Li swapped positions with Zidane. He said, "Zinedin, do you want to play in the front court? I will pass the ball to you. My pass is very accurate and I guarantee you will have a chance to shoot."

After hearing this, Zidane, who had never experienced the feeling of scoring a goal, immediately agreed. Anyway, the team was already leading 3:0, so it didn't matter if he went to the frontcourt to look for scoring opportunities, right?

So, after exchanging positions with Zidane, Wang Li directly played in Beckham's position, which is Real Madrid's central midfielder, similar to a winger. The most important thing is that this position just happens to be opposite the opponent's midfielder Morales.

A few minutes later, the attention of all the fans shifted from the goals of both teams to the midfield, because there were always "wonderful" performances there, which made Real Madrid fans extremely excited and Malaga fans furious.

In the 54th minute, Wang Li reached out for the ball on the wing, and after receiving the pass, Morales ran over to defend. Wang Li slowly moved forward, and his speed was as fast as a leisurely walk in the garden, which made the Real Madrid fans a little anxious.

Seeing this, Morales was very happy, and he immediately ran over to Wang Li to grab the ball. But after running two steps, Wang Li poked the ball directly through his crotch and passed him.

Morales did not feel shy at all after being passed by the world's most valuable player. After all, it was normal that he could not get the ball.

However, at this time, Wang Li's dribbling speed slowed down again.

Seeing the opportunity, Morales immediately followed and tried to grab the ball again, but Wang Li kicked with his heel, turned around and dribbled past the opponent from the front to the back.

At this time, Morales was in front of Wang Li. He saw that he had another chance and immediately stepped forward to grab the ball. This time, it was almost the same as the first time. Wang Li still chose to pass through the crotch.

.

In this way, Wang Li pierced Morales' crotch three times in a row. Under the angry eyes behind him, he kicked the ball to Zidane's point in the penalty area.

In the 57th minute, it was Wang Li again. He dribbled the ball slowly and Morales stepped forward to grab the ball.

This time, Morales learned his lesson. He kept his legs tight while running, thinking to himself, "Even if I get passed, I won't get through my crotch." As a result, Wang Li treated him like a stake while dribbling the ball. He made a small change of direction and passed him by. Before passing him by, he casually said, "Waste."

Morales was so angry that he almost hit someone on the spot.

However, he held back because he already had a yellow card and didn't want to be sent off directly.

During this process, Wang Li always looked for Morales's point of breakthrough, dribbling the ball slowly each time. After passing through, he would spit out some trash talk, which gradually made Morales' anger reach a peak.

As a result, in the 73rd minute, when Wang Li dribbled past him again, Morales fell to the ground and made a tackle. He was targeting the ball and not the person, just wanting to get revenge.

In an instant, a smile appeared on Wang Li's lips. He infused his inner strength into his legs. When he was tackled while taking a step, he suddenly stopped, then stood firmly in his horse stance. Then, Morales' right leg directly tackled Wang Li's calf. At the same time, Wang Li's left foot trembled forward at a small angle, and then he pretended to be tackled and fell to the ground.

The whole stadium was in silence, and almost all Real Madrid fans were worried about Wang Li's injury.

“Ouch, ouch”

But what puzzled them was that it seemed that Morales was the one in the most pain. He lay on the ground holding his knees and screaming in pain, while the black-haired boy just grinned and sat on the grass, as if nothing was wrong.

At the referee's signal, the game was suspended. The team doctors of both teams came in to make a temporary diagnosis for the two players. The Real Madrid team doctor found that there was nothing wrong with Wang Li's calf. However, the team doctor was very alert. He didn't say anything but just kept comforting Wang Li and sprayed various sprays on Wang Li's legs. It seemed that Wang Li had suffered a serious injury.

Of course, these are not important. The referee saw it clearly just now. It was Morales who tackled Wang Li to the ground. As for why Morales was injured?

Only God knows. It has nothing to do with his own bad luck or the referee.

In the end, Morales was not only seriously injured and carried off the field, but he was also given a red card, and Malaga didn't even have a chance to make a substitution.

Seeing this result, Wang Li's anger at Beckham's being shoveled off the field finally subsided. He thought to himself: "David, I have avenged you."

The rest of the game was not very interesting. In the 86th minute, Wang Li made a cross from the wing and Zidane scored with a long shot, changing the score to 4:0. Real Madrid won a big victory.

With three shots and one assist, Wang Li's performance was perfect. After the game, he was undoubtedly named the best player of the game.

However, since Beckham was injured and hospitalized, Real Madrid players had no intention of celebrating. They returned directly to Madrid after the game. Beckham had already been arranged to the best hospital for examination and treatment.

His injuries are serious.
