Football's Number One Madman

Chapter 146 I want to slaughter Real Madrid!

After the end of the international competition week, La Liga reignited the flames of war.

On October 10, Valencia sat at the Mestalla Stadium and ushered in their opponents in the 13th round, Malaga.

Feguli, Zakaria, and Ryan who played in the national team game, as well as Rodrigo and DePaul who participated in the national youth team game, were all excluded from the starting list.

On the contrary, Mustafi, who is the most famous, continued to start in this game because he only sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the German team game.

Mustafi was not surprised that his partner had changed from Ruben Wezzo to Li Polo.

After Otamendi, he is the mainstay of this defense line. He knows exactly which teammate is strong!
[What ability does Wei Zuota have?
Can he play the main defender in a Champions League-level team?
No!
If you want height but not height, you need speed but not speed, even if you have to remind me to stand, it is too weak to be a substitute! 】

Mustafi took another look at the right back. It was not Barragan, the main player who played today, but the same young Cancelo, plus Andre Gomez standing in the midfield. Couldn't help muttering:
[Does the head coach want the young people to take the lead collectively? 】
-
Malaga has only 6 points after the first seven rounds, ranking 17th in La Liga. If you only look at the results, they are an out-and-out team.

But if you look at their previous schedule, you will find that this team has had tough games in the first seven rounds:
A 0-0 draw at home with the overlord of the Europa League - Sevilla.

The away game lost 0:1 to the Champions League champion - Barcelona.

0:1 small loss at home to "Yellow Qian" Villarreal.

The away game drew 0:0 with "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid.

Perhaps they have found confidence after playing against strong teams in a row. They were in full swing in the last round of the league, beating Real Sociedad 3:1, ushering in the first victory of the new season, and their upward momentum is extremely rapid.

Then... They came to the Mestalla Stadium full of confidence, ready to have a passionate battle with the Bat Corps!

That's right, they want to fight Valencia!

They also succeeded in achieving their goals.

The possession rate of the two sides reached 43:57, and Malaga had the advantage.

The number of shots was 7:10, and Malaga had a slight upper hand.

The number of passes is 393:395, which is almost the same.

The number of headers was 28:28, and the number of successes was 14:14. The two sides drew again.

The number of tackles 30:39, Malaga completely suppressed the home team.

But...they got a bloody score on the road:
5: 0!

This time it's the home team!
Valencia only used 7 shots in the sports battle, and pierced the opponent's goal 3 times!
Gomez made a long-range shot, Li Polo broke the net with a header, Parejo's free kick was thrown and Paco missed in front of the goal. Three goals directly brought Malaga back to its original form!
The other two goals, one was an own goal gift when the opposing forward returned to the defense, and the other was a handball in the penalty area by the defender, which gave captain Parejo a great opportunity to collect statistics-penalties are not included in the number of shots in sports games.

Parejo, who scored a goal angrily, also ran to the sidelines, and warmly embraced Matthew Ryan on the bench:

"Thank you for accompanying me to practice penalty kicks!"

This game completely turned into a one-sided performance, and the cheers and singing at the Mestalla Stadium almost never stopped!

Nuno Santo even used up his three substitutions before 80 minutes, and even replaced the defensive backbone Mustafi to rest, allowing Zakaria Baccali, Danilo Gbagbo to rest. Young players such as Sa and Danny Ayala got the opportunity to play and exercise.

Valencia's 5-0 bloodbath against Malaga became the biggest tragedy in the 8th round of the league, and it also became the third game this season with a difference of more than 5 goals.

The other two tragedies were Real Madrid 5:0 Betis and Real Madrid 6:0 Espanyol.After experiencing a season in which all four players are empty, the Galaxy Battleship obviously knows its shame and is brave, and wants to regain its glory from its mortal enemy.

But it can also be seen from this that Malaga's ability to draw with Real Madrid in such a hot state in the 7th round does have something...

But after this battle, they couldn't help doubting their own strength again!
And Nuno Santo couldn't help making rich associations:
[Malaga was able to draw with Real Madrid, but was bloodbathed by our five goals. Does this mean that Valencia can slaughter Real Madrid...]

Fortunately, he slapped himself immediately and forcibly stopped this unrealistic "equation substitution".

He glanced at the schedule:
[The opponent in the next round of the league is not Real Madrid, but Atletico Madrid! 】

[Football, we still have to play game by game! 】
-
Before the away game against Atletico Madrid, Valencia will also participate in the third round of the Champions League group stage on Tuesday evening.

On October 10, just three days after 20-5 Malaga, they welcomed Gent at the Mestalla.

As a Belgian player, Zakaria popularized the background of this team for his teammates very early.

There are only 16 teams in the Belgian First Division, and the biggest overlord is Anderlecht, which has won the championship 33 times. In the previous five seasons, they also completed three consecutive league championships; ranked second, The third place is Bruges, which has won 13 times, and Standard Liege, which has won 11 times.

As for Ghent, they have always been just a mid-upstream team in Belgium, and they even hung out in the second division for a while, winning 4 league championships.They beat Bruges to win the championship last season, which has created a record in team history!
Since the next league game was scheduled to be played at the end of five days later, Valencia was able to play in the Champions League with all its strength, and Nuno Santo also ranked the strongest lineup in his mind.

The goalkeeper is still his more trusted Domenech.

The four defenders are 20-year-old Gaya, 26-year-old Mustafi, 21-year-old Lee Polo, and 22-year-old Cancelo.

Three major midfielders: 26-year-old captain Parejo, 31-year-old Fuego, 22-year-old Gomez-Originally there should be a place for DePaul here, but the Argentine midfielder was unfortunately injured in pre-match training , I can only regret losing the election.

The forward trident is gradually fixed: 24-year-old Rodrigo is on the left, 22-year-old Paco is in the center, and 26-year-old Feguli is on the right.

Judging from the age structure, such a starting 11 can be called a "youth storm"!
Except for Fuego, the other players are in the golden period of rising!

Such a team can run and rush, fight bravely, plus home court advantage, Ghent is not enough to pose a threat at all!
The game lasted less than 20 minutes, and the right back Cancelo took advantage of a sudden forward and sent a precise cross.

The tridents in the front court rushed into the penalty area almost at the same time, and even made a cross run.

Paco slanted into the right rib, raised his foot before the defender, and sent the ball to the goal. Feguli, who was in place, easily hit the goal, 1:0!

Seeing the effect of the attack on the right, Gaya on the left was not to be outdone, and frequently advanced to participate in the attack.

But maybe he was too keen on offense and neglected defense. Before the end of the first half, he just slackened once, and the left area he was in charge of was penetrated by the opponent.

The Ghent midfielder launched a sling pass, and the striker Fotko went straight into the penalty area. Gaya, who retreated urgently, had to make a barb to make a clearance, but he forgot that he was only 1.7 meters tall, even if he straightened his toes in the air , did not touch the incoming ball, but instead became the background board for the opponent's celebration...

Nuno shook his head again and again:

"Nowadays young people only think about playing in fancy ways. Does he think he is Ibrahimovic or Iguita?"

If it weren't for the fact that Gaya is only 20 years old, and his talent is indeed about to overflow with the naked eye, he would have sat on the bench with Vizo long ago!
During the intermission, Nuno did not criticize Gaya, the big colander who conceded the ball, and even encouraged him a few words, which made the young Gaja's confidence soar. Not only did he not focus on defense in the second half, but "intensified" and continued to strengthen the offensive !
Not to be outdone, Cancelo also frequently advanced forward, completely handing over his backcourt to two central defenders + a goalkeeper!
Under such a crazy offensive, Ghent was almost completely suppressed. Even if he occasionally played a counterattack, Fuego resolved it in the midfield. Li Polo, who stayed in the center circle, did not touch the ball once in the first 10 minutes of the second half. !

But it is precisely this continuous onslaught that Valencia won three corner kicks within 10 minutes.

In the 11th minute, Rodrigo took a corner kick and Li Polo got the first chance to touch the ball in the second half!
He didn't let go of this opportunity, directly squeezed away the central defender in front of him, and shook his head strongly!

2: 1!

Gent, who fell behind again, was clearly in disarray. They wanted to take the initiative, but they fell into a panic under the pressure of Valencia. In the 72nd minute, the two full-backs had a connection, and Cancelo made a cross from the right. Hitting the crossbar with too much force, Gaya rushed into the penalty area and shot from a small angle. Ghent defender Mitrovic, who hastily returned to the defense, unfortunately blocked the ball into his own goal...

3: 1!

Valencia, who won the second victory in the Champions League group stage, ranked No.6 in Group H with 2 points, following Zenit, which won all three games.

As for Lyon, which was considered to be the favorite to qualify before the game, it only got a draw after three games-it was still a draw with Ghent!

The traditional overlord of Ligue [-] has now begun to calculate his theoretical possibility of qualifying!
The possibility is still very high.

As long as you get 9 points in the last three rounds, you can qualify with your head held high!
From this point of view, the initiative is still in your own hands!

But Valencia's account is even better. As long as they get 4 points in the last three rounds, they will 100% advance to the knockout round!
For today's Bat Legion, this task should not be too simple.

【history】

Nuno was obviously already besieged on all sides at the time, but he wouldn't lose at the sight of anyone.
