Over the weekend, in the 34th round of La Liga, Valencia challenged Athletic Bilbao away.
After playing the full game in the Champions League in midweek, Benitez rotated the team.
Valencia drew 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao in an away game, and Su Dong did not appear in the squad.
The most eye-catching game of this round is undoubtedly the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Solari scored the first goal for Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, but Kluivert equalized for Barcelona four minutes later. After that, Figo accumulated two yellow cards and was sent off with a red card.
In the closing stages of the game, Xavi received a pass from Ronaldinho and scored the winning goal for Barcelona.
In the end, Barcelona reversed Real Madrid 2-1 away from home.
…………
…………
There was no game on the weekend, so Su Dong leisurely watched the live broadcast of El Clasico with his personal coaching team at home.
Agent Mendes also made a special trip to Valencia.
This game can be roughly divided into two parts. The turning point was when Rijkaard replaced two players in one go.
Before the two substitutions in the 57th minute, Real Madrid basically controlled the situation, which proved that the overall strength of the Galacticos is still very strong, especially the superstars in the frontcourt.
Although Real Madrid's offensive strength and weak defense have been criticized, there is no doubt about the strength of the superstar.
If nothing else, with these superstars like Raul, Figo, Zidane, and Beckham on the court, which team's defense wouldn't be frightened?
Barcelona are equally scared.
But Real Madrid's problem is that after Ronaldo is absent, no one can seize the opportunities created by Real Madrid.
After conceding the goal, Rijkaard made two rare substitutions, replacing Saviola with Kluivert and replacing Overmars with Luis Enrique.
These two substitutions have a common purpose, which is to liberate Ronaldinho.
Sure enough, with a center like Kluivert in front, Ronaldinho's performance immediately improved.
After Barcelona's frontcourt was revitalized, the entire situation was different.
Just one minute later, Barcelona equalized the score. Then Figo was too anxious and made too big a move on Puyol. He received a second yellow card and was sent off. From then on, Barcelona was completely in control of the game.
…
"Real Madrid is indeed on its last legs!"
After watching the live broadcast of this game, Mendes sighed with emotion.
Galaxy Battleship is definitely the most unforgettable brand in today's world football. It has gathered many superstars, but since the beginning of this season, it has been loved and hated.
Love it because it has too many superstars and can play gorgeous offensive football; hate it because it always makes people on tenterhooks and people don’t know when it will concede the ball or lose.
Even failed miserably.
"The superstars are getting old. Whether it is from the game or from media reports, it can be clearly seen that the status of players such as Zidane and Figo has declined a lot compared to before, and this situation will continue."
Nuno Cruz is a sports performance analyst, analyzing players' performance and physical condition, which is what he is best at.
"It's really incomprehensible." Su Dong shook his head in distress, "From the 60th minute on, Real Madrid felt very strange. They started to play disorganized. It didn't matter that there was no threat in front. The team had no overall integrity.
However, in the face of Barcelona's successive attacks, they failed to organize a decent interception and counterattack, which is abnormal."
This is also Su Dong's biggest question after watching the game.
"If my guess is correct, they are out of physical fitness." Nuno Cruz guessed.
"But they don't have a game in the middle of the week." This is what makes Su Dong puzzled.
Midweek is the semi-finals of the Champions League. Real Madrid has already been eliminated by Monaco. Where is the game?
Logically speaking, there is no reason for Real Madrid's players to run out of energy after playing for sixty minutes every week, unless...
"There is something wrong with their training. Queiroz has probably lost control of the locker room. It is even difficult to maintain normal training, let alone targeted tactical training." Nuno Cruz guessed.
This is undoubtedly the scariest!
Superstar is like a double-edged sword.
With superstars, a team's strength will be greatly improved, but at the same time it will also bring risks.
Especially when there are more and more superstars, how to coordinate the locker room and how the head coach establishes his authority is a very serious problem, because the head coach's control of the team is ultimately a management issue.
Superstars have spent huge sums of money to join. In comparison, what does a head coach mean?
Fire a head coach? Or sell a superstar?
This doesn’t seem to be a difficult choice!
Su Dong, Mendes and others all looked at each other, somewhat silent.
This is just a game, even if it is a national derby, it is just a league game.
But the problem is that behind a game, there are always countless stories.
Just like any chance in the game, there will be countless inevitabilities behind it.
"La Liga is going to change!" Mendes realized this problem.
Su Dong also nodded in agreement.
Since the mid-1990s, when Real Madrid lured Valdano and Redondo from Tenerife, they defeated Barcelona 5-0, completely ending Cruyff's dream team dynasty. Although Louis van Gaal later coached
, Barcelona once showed signs of revival, but soon fell into a period of dark turmoil.
In the past few years under Gaspart's coaching, Barcelona has changed coaches frequently, and its results have never improved. The team is in turmoil and is facing internal and external difficulties.
The most typical example is that Messi's friend Cesc Fabregas transferred to Arsenal. Talents such as Iniesta of the first team have almost left the team, and Messi is constantly thinking about leaving the team on loan.
One can imagine how bad the atmosphere within the Barcelona team is.
But since the winter break, the situation has suddenly changed.
Rijkaard, who did not get out of class during the winter break, successfully figured out a set of tactics suitable for Barcelona. In addition to activating talents like Ronaldinho, the team's defense has also improved greatly.
Halfway through the race, we started to win consecutive battles, and the momentum was overwhelming.
This chapter is not over yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Winning one game or even three games can be regarded as luck, but Barcelona won so many games in a row in the second half and remained unbeaten in so many games.
, this is definitely no accident.
Rijkaard finally straightened out the flow of Barcelona's first team, and Barcelona's management also began to straighten out the internal and external factors of the club.
This is the reversal of the national derby tonight!
Without these backgrounds, how can players still have the fighting spirit to come back when they are behind by one goal?
Barcelona has begun to embark on the right path, and its revival is just around the corner. However, under this situation, Real Madrid seems to be full of superstars, but it has begun to decline rapidly and is going downhill. One is going down, the other is going up, and La Liga will definitely change!
Su Dong thought a lot.
Mendes came to Valencia to watch this game with him, and he knew the purpose of it.
And from this game, they all saw a lot of things.
I even saw the future!
…………
…………
A week later, La Liga ushered in the 35th round.
With the momentum of overturning Real Madrid 2-1 in the away game, Barcelona ushered in the city derby.
After conceding one goal first, Barcelona scored four goals in a row and reversed the Spaniard 4-1.
This battle once again shocked Spanish football!
Two consecutive reversals showed the unity within Barcelona and the tenacious fighting spirit of the players.
This also proves once again that Real Madrid's away game reversal was no accident.
…
Valencia hosts Real Betis.
Since there was an away game against Monaco in the middle of the week, Benitez made some efforts.
Sudong played for 55 minutes and opened the scoring for the team in the 35th minute of the first half. After the start of the second half, Baraja made another victory and finally defeated Real Betis 2-0 at home.
This is also Su Dong’s 32nd La Liga goal this season.
Many media have expressed that Su Dong's scoring momentum is showing signs of being unstoppable. With only three rounds left in the league, it is not impossible to catch up or even surpass his idol Ronaldo.
In Ronaldo's first season in La Liga, he scored 34 goals.
…
After Real Madrid suffered a reversal at home against Barcelona, they lost 2-0 to Deportivo La Coruna on the road.
It has to be said that the Galaxy Battleship was completely beaten and lost its fighting spirit.
After the game, AS reported that it had received a tip from a senior person within Real Madrid that Perez was about to reorganize Real Madrid and that Real Madrid would make a number of big moves this summer, such as a coaching change.
Florentino wants to use Mancini to replace Queiroz, hoping to achieve the same effect as Barcelona's use of Rijkaard.
In terms of players, Marca broke the news that Real Madrid will sign an unprecedented central defender and defensive midfielder.
Real Sociedad's Xavi Alonso and Valencia's Baraja are Real Madrid's targets.
As for the central defender position, Valencia's Ayala, Roma's Samuel, and the Premier League's Woodgate are all targets of Real Madrid, but these players are all worth a lot. Florentino is
think seriously.
Marca also revealed that Real Madrid intends to directly purchase Valencia's central axis, which is center Sudong, midfielder Baraja, and center defender Ayala, transplanting this lineup of the Bat Legion that has performed well this season
Go to Real Madrid and strive to complete the team's reorganization as soon as possible.
But among all the revelations, no one has revealed what should the superstars do?
…………
…………
Midweek, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
Valencia faces Monaco away from home.
The whole game was lackluster, with both teams playing conservatively.
Monaco lost 0-3 in an away game. In theory, they should be proactive, but after the Ligue 1 team tried a wave, it had little effect. Instead, Valencia kicked out several counterattacks and immediately became conservative.
The Bat Legion also focuses on playing it safe. In addition, Su Dong is heavily guarded by the opponent, making it difficult to launch an offense.
In the end, the two teams shook hands and settled for a draw with a score of 0-0.
…
On the other side, after Porto drew 0-0 with Deportivo La Coruna at home in the first round, they defeated Deportivo 1-0 at the Riazor Stadium with Deco's assist from Del Rey and advanced to the Champions League final.
As a result, Valencia will face Porto at the Schalke Stadium!
