The Impossible Challenge

Guadalajara's goalkeeper chose to strike, blocking as many angles as possible for the Real Betis striker to shoot from.

The rest of the home team, too, gathered towards the striker.

But it's all a step too late.

The Real Betis striker flicked the ball to the side with the outside of his foot and flashed an angle before rising to shoot.

"Whoosh..."

The soccer ball was like a discharged cannonball, straight toward the goal, without any angle pursuit.

  "Swish..."

The home team's keeper spread his arms wide and made a desperate stop.

But the ball was so powerful that after bouncing off the goalie's arm, it still flew inside the goal. "Yay!!!"

The Real Betis bench, then, erupted in cheers.

The striker who scored the goal rushed towards Amaya at the first opportunity, then mounted Amaya in a flash and shouted loudly towards his teammates, " This goal is dedicated to Amaya! It's Amaya's assist!"

The team didn't care, whoever they wanted, they swarmed over them, stacked them up and pinned them all to the ground.

Even Su Yun spared no energy this time, running playfully from the backfield and then stacking up like his teammates as well.

While pressing down hard, he also shouted, "Haha! Amaya, there's nothing wrong with listening to me, the strongest goalie in the earth, right? Hahaha!"

From being pinned down, to starting to fight back, to counter pinning the opponent down, to scoring a goal.

Real Betis, a group of substitutes, went from not being favored to finally making a miracle.

At this moment, all the depression in their chests was released.

The starters on the bench on the sidelines also praised the substitutes without sparing any words of praise.

"Amaya did really well today, not only was he great on defense, but he also gave an assist." "The goal was also good, there weren't many chances today, it's rare to capitalize on a chance like that."

"It looks like we're going to have to be careful, there's no telling when we're going to get squeezed out of the starting lineup by this group of players."

  The 4,000 or so home fans on the sidelines all started cursing at this point.

They curse their players for being useless.

They cursed the striker who scored the goal for getting lucky.

They cursed the eye-catching performance of Amaya as a clown.

In their opinion, the play of these two men from Real Betis was the culprit that led to the team conceding the goal.

  But everyone didn't realize that the real director of all this was actually Su Yun!

Su Yun also gradually realized this.

His own teammates seemed to be praising Amaya, but no one was giving him two compliments.

  He said to his teammates with some tears and laughter.

"Hey! Hey! Why don't you guys compliment me too? It seems like I'm the biggest contributor to the team's comeback, right? And I had something to do with that goal, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right about everything." The team replied in an extremely perfunctory manner.

"Shit, can you look at me and say that? "Su Yun was almost speechless.

"Just no, I won't look at you and say it."

"Hahaha .... "The team all laughed along.

Watching the players on the field being very united and friendly, Pepe Meier's stern face gradually relaxed.

Although he still couldn't forgive Su Yun and Amaya for going against the tactics just now, but after all, the result was good, the ball was scored, and as long as today's match could be won, the punishment for these two guys could be lenient.

In addition to the punishment, Pepe Meier recognized Su Yun's strength in his heart.

There is no doubt that Su Yun definitely has the potential to become a top goalkeeper in La Liga as long as he follows instructions.

Once when he's fully developed, pull a team's backline up a notch.

It's not even a stretch to say that he'll rival Casillas as a world-class goalkeeper in the future! It's no exaggeration to say that he's the cornerstone of the team's championship.

After contemplating for a while, Pepe Mel also made a decision in his mind that the position of the number one goalkeeper would be given to Su Yun.

Just... It's a little too cheap to just let the kid take the #1 goalie spot.

At that thought, he glanced at the original number one goalkeeper, who was sitting on the bench, grimacing.

LOL... Let's let these two guys compete then.

It's also a chance to give the original #1 goalie a chance.

Thinking about the competition, Pepe Mel immediately associated it with what management had talked to him about earlier.

"Coach Pepe Meier, the team is not out of the relegation zone yet, even though they have won temporarily in the league. Our senior management discussed

After that, it's almost the winter break, so for the next eight rounds, our requirement is to get at least 14 points! And get out of the relegation zone!

If we can't do that, we will do a major purge of the team! There will be no non-sellers on the team, and that includes you, of course."

Immediately after remembering this conversation, Pepe Mel's face was clouded with worry.

But Su Yun's sudden appearance also gave him new intentions...

The game continued in the second half.

The Real Betis substitutes played the full game and held the field firmly.

Guadalajara played all the cards in their hand and used all their substitutions in an effort to chase points, but it didn't do any good.

In the end neither side scored again.

(Away) Real Betis 1-0 Guadalajara (Home)

Real Betis won the first round of the Copa del Rey and took away an away goal. The Real Betis dressing room after the match.

The players celebrated by singing once again.

Pepe Mel, on the other hand, came in after a long phone call outside the locker room. When he came in, he was all smiles.

"Congratulations lads, you've got another win! Both Amaya and Suyun played very well in this game, and you are the credit for the team's victory! I just looked at the post-game scores, and Amaya was the best player of the match, congratulations to him!"

"Good job Amaya!" The team sent up a round of applause.

Su Yun, however, was speechless on the spot, "Not me again? Coach, is there something wrong with the scoring mechanism? I'm the biggest contributor, okay?"

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right about everything, hahaha..." The teammates knew that they knew Su Yun's credit, but they still couldn't help but tease him.

Su Yun spat helplessly, ''How come no one values the existence of a goalkeeper? It's so unfair, isn't it? I'll definitely win a Golden Ball Award in the future and give you guys a good smack in the face!"

Amaya took the initiative to come over and put his arm around Su Yun's shoulder, then patted his chest and said to everyone, "I don't care what other people think about this game, on the contrary, I know that without Su, it's absolutely impossible for me to be the best player in this game, and the game is absolutely unwinnable!"

After hearing Amaya's words, Su Yun finally got some comfort as he smiled and said, "Still counting on you kid having a bit of a conscience." After laughing and joking.

Pepe Mel suddenly turned the tables and said, "Okay, everyone, keep listening to me. I was just talking about feats, and now I'm going to say a little more about transgressions.

Sue and Amaya, you two didn't follow my tactics in this game and must be punished! However, since this is your first offense and you helped the team win the game, you will be penalized.

But this isn't over yet! If anyone else makes the same mistake after this and doesn't follow my tactics, they'll just be suspended! Suspension! Do you hear me?"

"I hear you!"

Speaking of which, Pepe Mel glanced at the original No. 1 goalkeeper who was depressed in the corner, and then said: "Sue, you will continue to start the next round of matches, but I'm going to set a rule for you, as long as you concede a goal, I'll let someone else replace you, and you won't return to the starting lineup until that person concedes a goal again! "

You can still play like this?

The entire staff was dumbfounded. I've never heard of any other team doing that?

Sure this isn't child's play?

They didn't know that Pepe Mel was just saying this to stimulate Su Yun, give him a sense of crisis, and also to give Su Yun a little bit of punishment for not listening to the head coach's arrangement.

The original No. 1 goalkeeper's eyes lit up at the news, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope for a return to the starting lineup.

But Su Yun saw right through Pepe Mel.

In the bottom of his heart, he said, "This old fox, how dare he use the method of provocation to provoke me? I'll wait, I won't concede a single goal, and I'll get the bonus for not conceding a goal! What are you going to do?

Pepe Mel then continued.

"I just had a phone call with the management and our goal for the next eight rounds of the league is to get 14 points! We'll try to stay in the relegation hunt before the winter break. Therefore, I will reformulate a defense-oriented tactic, and everyone must work hard to accomplish the goal!"

Before the winter break?

Defense-oriented?

The joyful atmosphere inside the locker room disappeared.

Because we all know that this is an absolutely impossible task.

Just because the team squeaked out a league win doesn't mean that the later games will continue to be so winnable.

14 points, which means, at least, three wins.

That makes it even harder.

And before the winter break, that means the team will be making big moves.

Thinking of this, everyone's smiles faded away and they all frowned and began to worry about their future. This also included Pepe Mel.

Su Yun, however, was not too worried.

In his mind, isn't it just eight rounds?

Let alone 14 points, 24 points is not out of the question!

Su Yun added the ability value he had gained to the attribute of Aerial Passing once more.

Then he said to everyone very dejectedly, "With me, the strongest goalie on the earth, I'll lead you guys to eight consecutive victories! Hahaha... Su Yun laughed cheerfully, but everyone did not agree with him.

Because everyone knows that it's an almost impossible challenge.
