June 17, 2001.
Two hundred and fifty kilometers southeast of Madrid, the Carlos bimondi stadium in the city of Albacete, the last round of La Liga, is in full swing.
In the early 1990s, the home team Albacete was once an important team in La Liga. However, after being demoted in 1996, Albacete failed to return to La Liga. After several changes, Julian Rubio, the outstanding coach of the second team, was recruited from Sevilla in 1998, and increased his investment for three consecutive seasons.
This season did not return to La Liga, Albacete up and down are also disappointed, coach Rubio also decided to leave early.
But even so, Rubio is still in the Carlos bimondi stadium, put out the whole team, vowed to defend his dignity and the team in the last round of the league.
May 41, defensive counterattack, this is the season when albasset encountered a strong team''s usual tactics.
After winning the king''s cup, the visiting team Atletico Madrid had two consecutive games of 5-0. The team''s morale was like a rainbow. In order to win the championship, the last round was a must.
Alpine also did not become conservative because of the away combat, from the beginning put forward the strong attack tactics.
One side for dignity, the other side for the championship, both sides from the beginning of the fight.
It was not until the 22nd minute of the match that Atletico Madrid scored the first goal after Torres received a straight ball from Ugo Leal, breaking the deadlock for the sheets.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides to fight again, and Albacete did not dare to be careless. Atletico Madrid still firmly controlled the situation on the field.
It was in the 78th minute that Ugo Layar assisted Xavi Alonso, and with a long shot, he once again pierced the goal of Albacete, making the score 2-0.
After that, both sides began to slow down the pace, and the game completely entered the garbage time.
As soon as 90 minutes arrived, the referee mu nuozi blew the whistle of the end of the game.
……
When the whistle sounded, all the players on the court were excited.
One by one, they quickly rushed out of the court, rushed to the edge of the court, surrounded by the coach.
"Boss, what''s the result of Sevilla''s game?"
"Yes, what''s the score?"
"Lost? Or did you win? "
"Is Tenerife fighting for success?"
"Boss, tell us about it!"
Although Atletico Madrid won the ball, but want to win, but also depends on Sevilla and Tenerife that one, so, Atletico Madrid players will be so concerned.
However, Gao Han shook his head, "it''s not clear yet."
"Not yet?"
"What do you mean, boss?"
"Yes, what''s the matter?"
Gao Han raised his hand to show them not to worry.
"It''s still zero to zero. There''s still more than four minutes left."
Although the last round of the game is held at the same time, but due to the difference in make-up time, the end of the game will be slightly delayed.
But on hearing this news, Atletico Madrid''s heart, can not help but also mentioned the throat.

…………
When Atletico Madrid beat Albacete, the focus of the city stadium in Valencia also blew the whistle of the end of the game.
The scoreboard on the city court shows the final score of the game, 3-2.
In international practice, the home team is in the front and the visiting team is in the back.
This represents the home team Levante beat the visiting team Real Betis.
On the court, the players of Real Betis, wearing green jerseys, are all sitting on the grass. Some of them seem to have been drained of their strength, their eyes are empty, and some of them are lying on the grass and crying.
They lost!
This defeat means that even though Tenerife lost the match in Seville, the Canary Islands team can still beat Real Betis and get the third place in the league with the advantage of two rounds.
After one year''s persistence and countless bloody battles, the result is... Failure!
This makes Real Betis players in any case can not accept!
What makes them feel even more unacceptable is that they have personally destroyed this hope!
Louis del Sol, the temporary coach of Real Betis, stood alone and helpless on the sideline. He couldn''t believe what was happening on the pitch. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
If the opening tactics were not so radical, perhaps, Levante would not rely on defensive counterattack in the first half, scoring three goals in a row, and his team would not be able to reverse the situation in the second half after the crazy counterattack.
This special but in the West B League, let countless teams are headache devil home, how his brain before the game bad, even want to rely on strong attack to capture them?
The white haired former Spanish international, who is over 60 years old, has to lower his proud head at this moment and accept helplessly that he can''t keep up with the tragedy of the times.
In March, former coach Fernando Basques was fired by the management after losing to Atletico Madrid and Tenerife in a row. Del Sol took over the team in chaos and started his biggest gamble in his coaching career.
As a result, this time, he not only lost himself, but also lost all the efforts of Real Betis in one season.
At this moment, he wants to go on the court and comfort his players.
But will they accept my kindness?
And the club officials sitting in the stands, what should they be thinking now?
complain? Anger? Buck passing?
Or are you thinking about selling the players in exchange for a reconstruction fund to make a comeback in the new season?
But, I don''t think it''s my business, is it?

…………
Sevilla, pisjuan stadium.
Rafael Benitez felt that the tie on his chest was too tight for him to breathe. He had to untie some, but he still felt suffocated.
Time to 87 minutes, the score of both sides is still zero to zero.
But just now, we have received the news that Real Betis has made great efforts to catch up with us. He has made two goals in a row. With the strength of Real Betis, it is not impossible to catch up with us two more goals at the last moment.
Everything can happen on the football field.
Therefore, the result of zero-to-zero does not guarantee Tenerife''s promotion, so he has to find a way.
In the second half, he replaced and adjusted one after another. Every time, he made a targeted change according to the situation on the court. However, Cavilla''s kapalus was not a fuel-efficient light and soon adjusted.
Just now, he replaced mistar and simutankov at one go to further strengthen the team''s attack.
Now it''s up to you to see if these two changes will work.
"God bless you!" Benitez prays.
At this time, there was a clear whistle in the stadium, and then the whole pisjuan stadium was fried.
The fans in the stands are booing, booing crazily.
"What''s the matter?" Benitez turned to look.
"Red card! Red card The assistant hissed.
Spain coach saw, referee renales raised his right hand, holding a shocking red card.
In front of him, Sevilla defender ektor is pleading not guilty, but the referee undoubtedly pointed to mista who fell to the ground, indicating that ektor''s foul action is clear.
"Oh, my God, it''s eighty-eight minutes, it''s eighty-nine minutes, and then we''ll get a red card?"
The whole stadium was booing at the referee, but it didn''t help.
From the referee''s firm eyes, from the slow motion replay on the court, we can clearly see that ektor did have a very obvious foul action, and there is no doubt that he got a yellow card.
But he had a yellow card in the first half, two yellow cards turned into one red card and was sent off directly.
Rafael Benitez was thrilled to see ektor walk out of the court with his head down and scold angrily.
"Attack! Attack me! Press them on
The chubby Benitez was so excited on the sidelines that he wished he could rush onto the court and do a big job.
Tenerife won a good set piece in the front court, Russian player simutankov took the penalty, and almost all the high points of the team rushed into Sevilla''s penalty area.
"Set pieces, OK, we''ve done some key drills before the match. Don''t worry, take your time and follow what we''ve done before the match."
Benitez mumbled nervously on the sidelines.
On the court, simutankov seems to think the same way, gesturing to his teammates in the penalty area.
Slowly back, until the other side set the wall, he was ready.
Kaparos is ready to change, and centre back Michelle will replace center zarayeta.
Michelle is a tall centre back with good frontal defense ability, but this time the substitution can only be carried out after the free kick is sent off.
"One last chance!" Benitez breathed nervously.
On the court, simutankov took a deep breath and rushed forward quickly.
Only a bang was heard, and the ball crossed an arc and went around the wall.
"Well, the landing point is well controlled, the centre back comes to grab..." read Benitez.
This is his strategy when he practices set pieces before the game.
The centre back came to grab it and got the first place.
"... ferry to the back point..."
The centre back rubbed against the ball and the ball changed direction, crossed the penalty area and fell to the back point.
"... hold back a little bit... Hold back a little bit... Who''s special? Hold back a little bit for me!" Benitez growled with a gnash of teeth.
At the critical moment, suddenly the figure flashed, and he didn''t know where he was coming from. Like a ghost, mistar appeared at the back point. In the case of no one to mark, he jumped forward and headed the ball.
The ball hit mista''s forehead just right, turned in one direction and hit Sevilla''s goal.
Cross the line, whistle, goal!
In an instant, the entire pisjuan stadium fell into a dead silence.
The fans are silent!
Everyone couldn''t believe looking at the ball still beating in the goal.
Come in!
The ball is in!
Mista jumped up from the ground, rushed into the goal excitedly, hugged the ball covered with sweat and grass of countless people, kissed it heavily, then turned around and ran.
The entire pisjuan stadium was booed!
Benitez is relieved, as if the whole person has collapsed.
Finally, the goal（ (to be continued.)
