"Aha!" Commentator Moen laughed when he saw Chang Sheng's action. After a season of commentary, he already knew Chang Sheng's temper very well.
"This is winning! This is his style! Not only does he want to win your ball, he also wants to stimulate you! If you have a grudge against him, then you are out of luck. If you are targeted by him, you will definitely be killed by him.
So angry! This is him, a person who is definitely not aboveboard...but he has never tried to hide this. Even if he is a villain, he is also a real villain..."
When huge boos and curses erupted from the Calderon Stadium, Chang Sheng did not change himself. He continued to provoke Atletico Madrid fans and stood proudly in front of the coach's bench.
He was like a crazy Don Quixote who challenged the windmill. But the problem is... he succeeded!
Two seasons ago, it was he who personally buried Atletico Madrid's hope of promotion.
Now he leads the team to lead Atletico Madrid in the game.
Two seasons ago, people thought it was idiotic for him to challenge Atletico Madrid, but now no one thinks it is incredible.
Since Getafe can double beat Atletico Madrid, it shouldn't be a big deal for Valencia to win Atletico Madrid in the away game...

Atletico Madrid's head coach Aragones has studied Valencia's tactics. But the more he studies, the more obsessed he becomes.
When he led Mallorca, he played against Chang Sheng in the Copa del Rey final. At that time, the team coached by Chang Sheng was still the newly promoted Getafe.
At that time, Getafe played a tactic similar to Mad Dog, but it looked very rough at that time, and the players did not understand it deeply. It was more similar in appearance than superior to it.
After all, it only took a week.
But even so, Getafe still used such an immature tactic to defeat Mallorca and win the Copa del Rey.
At that time, this strategy was still in its infancy and not very mature.
Nowadays, Valencia's mad dog tactics are very mature. They play dazzling football. Every player is running and running. Then the football is running in this non-stop running.
The opponent has no way to make a move and can only follow Valencia's rhythm.
The core of Valencia's midfield last season was Guardiola.
Guardiola was injured this season, and people originally thought that Valencia's mad dog tactics would suffer a heavy blow. Who would have thought that Chang Sheng would recruit Deco from Porto, a Brazilian midfielder who is little-known in continental Europe?
, can actually perfectly replace Guardiola's role in the team. As a result, Valencia's mad dog tactics have not been negatively affected at all.
This is not the first time that Aragones admires Chang Sheng so much. The last time the two sides met in the Copa del Rey, although they were opponents, Aragones admired the young man Chang Sheng very much.
This time the two met again, and Aragones studied Valencia's tactics and became more and more obsessed with them.
Valencia's tactics seem to have opened a window to a new world for him...
This window allowed him to see a completely different world.
Even though he was an opponent, he had to be amazed by his wisdom like a victorious genius.
Although this is somewhat inappropriate, Chang Sheng and Atletico Madrid are mortal enemies.
So Aragones could only bury his appreciation for constant victory in his heart.
The more I study, the more I find that it is difficult to win with Atletico Madrid's current strength...
It's not easy for him to keep the team going for forty minutes.

For the players of Atletico Madrid, when they did not play against Valencia, they were very unconvinced. They thought that Valencia was not powerful. They had an advantage at home, and they were eager to take revenge.
The mood is high and the fighting spirit is high. With so many favorable conditions, how could it be possible to lose to Valencia?
But when they actually started playing against Valencia, they discovered that it was not that simple.
They think Valencia football is nothing more than passing the ball and passing the ball.
But when they were on the court, when they actually faced Valencia's "pass, pass, pass, pass" tactics, they felt at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Because they couldn't steal the ball at all.
No matter how hard they try and how desperate they are, they can't get the ball.
Valencia's pass was like running water, easily bypassing Atletico Madrid's defense.
This was their first time competing against this tactic, and they discovered that it had nothing to do with fighting spirit or hard work...
Before Valencia scored the first goal, they passed eight consecutive passes from the backcourt to the frontcourt without allowing any Atletico Madrid player to grab the ball.
Then Baraja stepped in from behind and blasted into Atletico Madrid's goal.
Faced with such a goal, no matter how much fighting spirit and hard work Atletico Madrid has, what's the use?
※※※
The first half ended with this score. Neither side made any substitutions in the second half.
Valencia continued to use mad dog tactics to deal with Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid continued to be unable to come up with anything.
They tightened their defense and fought quick counterattacks, and they could only rely on Torres' speed and personal ability.
But Torres was completely frozen by Carvalho in this game.
It cannot be overcome no matter what.
In TV shots, Torres often appears looking helpless or angry, because Carvalho used his experience and awareness to block Torres' route.
The young and energetic Torres finally tackled Carvalho from behind, received a red card for himself, and was sent off directly.
This is the second time he has been sent off this season.
This fully illustrates that young people are full of fire...
※※※
Chang Sheng was also dissatisfied with Torres' actions, even though the opponent had already been sent off with a red card.
What he is concerned about now is whether Carvalho will be injured.
Fortunately, Carvalho was fine. He stood up and received simple treatment before returning to the court and continuing the game.
In the 75th minute, Valencia's Ibrahimovic scored a goal, setting the score at 2:0 and sealing the victory.
In the end, Valencia defeated Atletico Madrid 2:0 in the away game.
They won with ease, making Atletico Madrid's revenge plans a joke.
Hill Sr. refused to be interviewed after the game, while Hill Jr. blamed reporters for blocking him.
He could only say: "I don't want to discuss the topic about the Chinese!"
He didn't want to discuss it, but Chang Sheng wanted to discuss it.
"In the second half of the season, we are in Mestalla and welcome Atletico Madrid to take revenge. Ha!" At the press conference after the game, Chang Sheng was very happy and humble... "I will always wait for Madrid.
Competition is for revenge. But don’t get more revenge, otherwise the hatred will be greater..."
In this way, the gap between Chang Sheng and Atletico Madrid became even greater.
But I don’t care about winning often, and I believe people at Atletico Madrid don’t care either.
For them, they will gradually get used to it.

After defeating Atletico Madrid, a good thing for Valencia is that their league ranking jumped directly from fourth place to first place!
Just one game has made Valencia's ranking rise three places. This shows how fierce the competition is for everyone to be at the top of the standings.
Not even one of the top three is a traditional giant.
Valencia is first with 14 points. Real Sociedad also has 14 points, but their goal difference is less than Valencia, so they can only be ranked second in the league.
The third place in the league is Malaga, they have 12 points.
Next are Celta with 11 points, and Real Madrid with 11 points.
As for Barcelona, they have fallen outside the eight places. They are in ninth place with only eight points.
In the sixth round, Real Sociedad drew, Real Madrid lost, Celta lost, and Malaga drew.
Valencia finally returned to the top of the league.
It's like stepping on the corpse of Atletico Madrid.
This makes Atletico Madrid fans even more unhappy.
But there's nothing you can do about being unhappy. Who can make them lose at their home court?
They could have stretched Valencia out into the quagmire and pulled her out, but instead they were stepped on to the shore.
Atlético de Madrid can be as frustrated as it is, and as unhappy as it is.
※※※
After the game against Atletico Madrid, there will be a game against Basel in midweek.
Although they only played one game against Atletico Madrid on the weekend, Changsheng still sent all its main players to play Basel away from home.
Chang Sheng's explanation for this was: "It actually didn't take much effort to play against Atletico Madrid. The players are in good condition and physical condition, so there is no need for rotation and rest."
This sentence made Atletico Madrid furious.
In the end, Valencia drew with Basel 2:2 in the away game. In the four rounds of the group stage, Valencia won three and drew one, accumulating ten points, scoring 14 goals and conceding two goals.
Basel, on the other hand, was held to a draw by Liverpool at home and only accumulated five points from four league rounds, ranking third in the group. With two rounds of league games left, it was basically considered an early appearance.
Although strictly speaking, Basel still has the possibility of a comeback - as long as they win the last two rounds of the group stage and Valencia lose both.
This means that Basel has 11 points and Valencia has 10 points.
At the same time, if Valencia loses all the last two rounds, because there is a game with Liverpool, it means that they lose to Liverpool, so they will have ten points after losing in the last round.
It was given to Basel, also ten points, the same as Valencia.
In this case, first compare the winning and losing relationship between Liverpool and Valencia. Valencia and Liverpool both have one win and one loss. Then compare the goal difference between the two sides when they played against each other.
This is hard to say. Valencia beat Liverpool 2:0 at home, which is not a big difference.
As long as Liverpool can defeat Valencia 3:0 at home, they will overtake Valencia with a goal difference and become second in the group.
So theoretically speaking, Valencia still has the situation of not being able to qualify from the group even if it accumulates ten points.
But this probability is too low.
It would only be possible if Valencia lost two games in a row and Basel won two games in a row, and Liverpool would have to beat Valencia by at least three goals at home.
The probability of any of these three things happening individually is low enough. Let alone the three things coming together...
In short, even if Valencia announced that they were upgraded ahead of schedule, no one would say anything.
However, Chang Sheng was very cautious after the game: "Theoretically, we still have the possibility of being eliminated. So we will go all out and persist until the last game. Now is not the time to celebrate."
After hearing what E Chang Sheng said, Liverpool's "Echo" sighed for Basel: "Such a calm Chang Sheng makes people feel desperate... Basel even has the last hope, the theoretical possibility of qualifying.
It’s all gone…”
