The eleventh round of La Liga was another eye-popping round.
Continuously fighting on two fronts, Valencia, which had just defeated Bruges in the middle of the week, made a lot of rotations. Sudong, Aimar and Vicente all sat on the bench, leaving Rufei
Te, Jorge López, Canobbio and Mista.
As a result, the entire team performed unsatisfactorily.
In the 23rd minute of the first half, Racing Santander forward Bodibo opened the scoring for the visiting team.
Just a minute later, Baraja equalized the score for Valencia.
Throughout the first half, Valencia lacked offensive threat. Benitez replaced Jorge Lopez at halftime and replaced Aimar.
As a result, just four minutes into the second half, Bodibo once again took advantage of the loopholes in Valencia's defense and overtook the score again for the visiting team, forcing Valencia into an embarrassing situation.
In the 60th minute, Benitez replaced Vicente, and in the 70th minute, Su Dong came on as a substitute.
Just eight minutes later, Vicente from the left broke through and passed in. Sudong headed the ball in the penalty area and equalized the score for Valencia.
This score was maintained until the end of the game.
Valencia was held to a 2-2 home draw by Racing Santander.
…
Deportivo La Coruna reversed Real Sociedad 2-1 at home, and Barcelona narrowly defeated Real Betis 2-1 at home.
Real Madrid, which had just been promoted to second place in the league standings, was defeated 4-1 by Sevilla in an away match.
Ronaldo scored a goal in the second half to save face for the Galacticos.
This tragic defeat shocked the entire Spanish football world.
First, Deportivo lost to Monaco 3-8, and then Real Madrid lost 1-4 to Sevilla. What on earth is going on?
Why do the top teams in La Liga suffer such huge losses one after another?
Regarding Real Madrid's problem, all media and professionals have the same evaluation, that is, there is an imbalance between offense and defense.
There are too many superstars in the frontcourt, which seriously squeezes the defense of the midfield. Especially after Makelele left the team, the midfield lacks defensive hardness and directly allows the opponent to face its own defense. This is a quite bad situation.
It was also after this disastrous defeat that Real Madrid also revived the old news of introducing a central defender. Players such as Ayala, Woodgate, Samuel and Lucio also entered Real Madrid's sights again.
Real Madrid's disastrous defeat relinquished second place in the league.
After eleven rounds of games, Valencia leads La Liga with nine wins, one draw and one loss.
Deportivo La Coruna followed with eight wins, one draw and two losses, Real Madrid ranked third, and Barcelona moved up to fourth.
Atletico Madrid has also relied on the outstanding performance of young player Torres over this period of time to climb to fifth place in the league.
Looking at the start of La Liga this season, Valencia is undoubtedly the most stable team.
Marca believes that after introducing Su Dong to fill the team's offensive deficiencies, Benitez has basically completed the team's transformation. While maintaining the double midfielder, Su Dong's joining not only
It completes the team's central axis and also greatly enhances the team's offensive firepower.
More importantly, La Liga this season is moving in a direction favorable to Valencia.
Real Madrid is trapped by Zidanega Pavin's policy, their defense is very fragile, and they focus more on the Champions League.
Barcelona, Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo are all capable of competing, but Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo's results this season are not ideal, either because of coaching changes or because of the distraction of the European war, which makes them in La Liga.
It's hard to make a difference.
Barcelona could have performed better, but Rijkaard has not yet adjusted a mature style of play, which has made Barcelona very unstable this season and its performance is not ideal.
Marca believes that Deportivo will be Valencia's biggest competitor this season. Irueta's team not only has a strong lineup, but also has relatively mature overall technical and tactical skills.
After sending away Mackay, although Pandiani appeared in Deportivo, the conflict between Pandiani and Tristan made Deportivo's locker room unstable, and the team's strength
Strong dialogue performs poorly.
Marca said that Valencia is the most champion team in La Liga this season. Not only did it perform well in the strong dialogue, especially in the devilish schedule in the early part of the season, it successively defeated Inter Milan, Atletico Madrid, and Real Madrid.
and Barcelona, which can be said to have won full applause.
"Good at fighting tough battles, this is a strong guarantee for Valencia to win the La Liga championship this season!"
"New aid Su Dong's continuous goals have made everyone full of confidence in Valencia. I believe that the Bats are fully capable of winning another La Liga championship this season!"

After playing against Racing Santander, the team disbanded that night.
Su Dong has been competing and training non-stop for days, and he is exhausted both physically and mentally.
Nuno Cruz and other members of the coaching staff also followed him and were also very tired.
Taking advantage of the two-week national team match day and the fact that he really needed a proper rest, Sudong agreed to Nuno Cruz's holiday proposal and gave the entire personal coaching team a week's holiday.
The personal trainers were on vacation, but Su Dong did not take a break, but only slightly reduced the intensity of his training.
On the 15th, he received a call from Messi.
Because of Aimar, the two had a meal in Barcelona before. Later, Messi took the time to go to Valencia and watched the Valencia game. At that time, Su Dong scored, so after the game
I invited Messi back to have a meal.
After going back and forth, the relationship between the two became good.
This time Messi called him and wanted to invite him to Porto to watch the opening ceremony of the Fire Dragon Stadium.
"Since it is during the national team game, the main players of the team are not here, so I am in the squad this time and should play."
Although it was over the phone, Su Dong could still hear the excitement in Messi's voice.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the first team to enter Barcelona!
Of course Su Dong congratulated him. Since Aimar was playing for the national team in Argentina and Messi's best friend was far away in the UK, Su Dong was the only friend Messi invited besides his family.
Of course, Su Dong would not dampen Messi's interest in his first-team debut.
"Don't worry, I'm familiar with Porto, and I will definitely support you!"
…
Two days later, Porto held a grand opening ceremony at the Fire Dragon Stadium.
In fact, this stadium has been opened for a long time, it just lacks a ceremony.
This is a bit like the feeling between men and women who get on the bus first and pay for it later.
Barcelona has a lot of international players, and even the rotation players are often the main players of their respective national teams, so most of them are the water cooler managers of the first team. On the contrary, Porto plays with the full main lineup.
After all, this is someone else’s wedding, uh, no, it’s a ticket replacement venue.
Needless to say, Barcelona was beaten like a pig's head and the entire audience was suppressed.
Messi came on as a substitute in the 75th minute. In just ten minutes, he was knocked down at least five times.
Sometimes it's because his body is too thin and he falls down with a push. Sometimes it's because the opponent's defensive moves are too big and he directly tackles him with the ball.
There are two most threatening scenes. One was five minutes after coming on as a substitute. A teammate passed a diagonal pass into the penalty area. Messi stepped in and stopped very beautifully. However, he failed to handle the next step well and was defeated by the goalkeeper.
Ya pounced.
Another time was in the 86th minute. It was still a direct pass from his teammate. Messi sprinted quickly and stabbed the ball behind him before goalkeeper Baia reached the outside of the penalty area and couldn't use his hands.
But at the critical moment, Carvalho stood in front of Messi, and the Argentine tried to pass Carvalho. Needless to say, the ball was completely intercepted, and another excellent opportunity was missed.
Su Dong looked very anxious in the stands, wishing he could go on the field himself and score those two goals for Messi.
"This kid is still young!" Su Dong shook his head angrily.
As everyone knows, he is only three years older than Messi.
…
"Ha, Su, long time no see!"
Deco was very surprised when he saw Su Dong in the player tunnel.
"Yes, good job, Deco!" Su Dong walked over and hugged Deco.
"Why are you here?" Carvalho, who was behind Deco, instinctively jumped when he saw Su Dong.
This is his nightmare!
"Don't worry, I'm here to be a fan tonight." Su Dong quickly explained.
Deco and others felt funny.
Although Su Dong played for Sporting Lisbon in the past and often clashed with Porto players on the court, off the court, they still had a good relationship with each other, and it was not bad, especially with Deco.
Bennie McCarthy silently watched Su Dong chatting and laughing with Deco and others, feeling very mixed emotions in his heart.
He knew that one of the important reasons why he was able to return to Porto was that Su Dong went to Valencia.
Mourinho's first choice was Su Dong, but he bought him back because he couldn't buy Su Dong. This made Bennie McCarthy feel very uncomfortable when he saw Su Dong.
Especially when I think about the other party's current success in La Liga, my heart becomes even more congested.
You know, he only played 14 times in La Liga last season and scored two goals.
But what about Su Dong?
He has scored 14 goals in La Liga this season, and what’s even more terrible is that he is only 19 years old!
Suddenly seeing Su Dong, McCarthy really had the urge to hide away.
…
"That boy is your friend?" Deco and Carvalho were both a little surprised.
Valencia's leading center forward is friends with Barcelona's rookie?
What is this and what?
Su Dong was also speechless, and it was very troublesome to explain. You can't say that Messi is Aimar's little fan. He has a close relationship with Aimar, so he also has a good relationship with Messi...
It's too troublesome, so I won't explain it at all.
"Ricardo, you are so unkind, couldn't you just be merciful and let him score a goal?" Su Dong looked at Carvalho with evil intentions, which made the Portuguese central defender feel cold for no reason.
He really didn't know how to defend Su Dong!
"I didn't know he was your friend, but now I know, next time, next time, definitely!" Carvalho quickly explained, and then ran away as fast as he could.
Su Dong and Deco were left looking at each other and laughing.
