Chapter 25 I want to slaughter Real Madrid!(1/2)
After the international match week, La Liga resumed its war.
On October 13, Valencia sat at the Mestalla Stadium and ushered in the eighth round opponent, Malaga.
Feiguli, Zakaria, Ryan, who have played in the national team competition, as well as Rodrigo, DePaul and others who have participated in the national youth team competition, have been excluded from the starting lineup.
On the contrary, Mustafi, who is the most famous, continued to start this game because he only sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the German team's game.
Mustafi was not surprised that his partner was changed from Ruben Vizzo to Lee Poirot.
After Outmendi, he was the mainstay of this back line. Which teammate's strength is, he is clear in his heart!
[What is Vezo’s ability?
Can he play the main defender in a Champions League level?
No way!
I have no height and height, and there is no speed. I want to remind me even if I have a standing.
Mustafi glanced at the right back again. The one who played today was not the former main player Barragan, but the equally young Cancelo, plus Andre Gomez standing in the midfield. He felt that
I couldn't help but muttered:
[Do the head coach want to make young people collectively?]

The first seven rounds of Malaga were only 6 points, ranking 17th in La Liga. If they only look at the results, they are a fishing team that is not folded.
But if you look at their previous schedule, you will find that this fish is a tough battle in the first seven rounds:
At home 0: 0, Ting the UEFA Cup hegemo -Sevilla.
A 0:1 away defeat to the Champions League champions - Barcelona.
Home 0: 1 small negative "Huang Qian" Biliareal.
The "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid was tied at 0: 0 away.
Perhaps they have found confidence after playing against strong teams continuously. They were in full swing in the last round of the league, beating Real Sociedad 3:1 and ushering in their first victory of the new season. Their upward momentum is extremely rapid.
Then ... they came to Mestalia with confidence to prepare a passionate battle with the Bat Legion!
That's right, they want to fight against Valencia!
They also successfully achieved their goals.
The ball control rate between the two sides reached 43:57, and Maraga took advantage.
The number of shots was 7:10, Malaga had a slight advantage.
The number of passes is 393: 395, almost flat.
The number of headers was 28:28, the number of successes was 14:14, and the two sides were tied again.
The number of tackles was 30:39, and Malaga completely suppressed the home team.
But ... they got a bloody score on the way:
5:0!
This time is still the home team!
Valencia took a 7 -footed shot during the sports war, and penetrated the door of the opponent 3 times!
Gomez made a long shot, Li Polo broke the net with a header, Parejo's free kick was saved and Paco missed it in front of the goal. The three goals directly brought Malaga back to its original form!
The other two goals, one was an own goal when the opponent's forward returned to defense, and the other was a handball in the penalty area by the defender, gave captain Parejo a great opportunity to brush up the statistics - penalty kicks are not counted in the number of shots in sports battles.
Palorho, who was angry in a goal, also ran to the sidelines, and Matthew Ryan on the bench hugged enthusiastically:
"Thank you for practicing penalty kick with me!"
This game completely turned into a one -sided performance, and the cheers and singing of the Mestalia Stadium almost never stopped!
Nuno Santo even used up his three substitutions before the 80th minute, and even replaced the defense backbone Mustafi to rest, allowing Zakaria Bakali and Danilo Gbagbo to rest.
Young players such as Sa and Danny Ayala have been given the opportunity to play and practice.
Valencia's 5:0 bloodbath against Malaga became the biggest tragedy in the eighth round of the league, and it also became the third game this season with a score difference of more than 5 goals.
The other two tragedies were Real Madrid's 5-0 Betis, and Real Madrid's 6-0 Espanyol. After a season in which all four major teams failed to win, Galacticos clearly knew its shame and became brave, and wanted to regain its glory from its mortal enemy.
But it can also be seen from this that there is indeed something for Malaga to draw with Real Madrid in such a hot state in the seventh round...
But after this battle, they couldn't help but doubt their own strength!
And Nuno Santo couldn’t help but make rich associations:
[Malaga was able to draw with Real Madrid, but was beaten by us with five goals. Does this mean that Valencia can massacre Real Madrid...]
Fortunately, he slapped himself immediately and forcibly stopped this unrealistic "equation substitution".
He took a look 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 it one game at a time!】
-
Before challenging Atletico Madrid away from home, Valencia will also participate in the third round of the Champions League group stage on Tuesday evening.
On October 20, just three days after the 5:0 Malaga victory, they welcomed Gent at the Mestalla Stadium.
As a Belgian player, Zakaria has long informed his teammates about the team's background.
There are only 16 teams in the Belgian First Division, and the biggest hegemon is Anderlecht, which has won the championship 33 times. In the previous five seasons, they also completed three consecutive league championships; ranked second,
In third place are Club Brugge, which has won the championship 13 times, and Standard Liege, which has won the championship 11 times.
As for Gent, they have always been just an upper-middle-class team in Belgium. They even played together in the second division and won 4 second division championships. Last season, they defeated Bruges to win the championship, which has created a team
Historical record!
Since the next league game was scheduled to be played five days later, Valencia was able to compete in the Champions League with all its strength, and Nuno Santo also lined up the strongest lineup in his mind.
The goalkeeper is still Domenech, whom he trusts more.
The four defenders are 20-year-old Gaya, 26-year-old Mustafi, 21-year-old Lipolo, and 22-year-old Cancelo.
The three major midfielders: 26-year-old captain Parejo, 31-year-old Fuego, and 22-year-old Gomez - there should have been a place for De Paul here, but the Argentine midfielder was unfortunately injured during 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 dominates the right wing.
Judging from the age structure, such a starting 11 can be called a "youth storm"!
Except for Fuego, other players are in their prime period of improvement!
With such a team that can run and rush, is brave and good at fighting, and coupled with the home field advantage, Gent alone is not enough to pose a threat!
The game lasted less than 20 minutes when right back Cancelo made a sudden forward move and sent a precise cross.
The front three broke into the penalty area almost at the same time, and even made a cross move.
Paco inserted his right rib diagonally, raised his foot before the defender, and sent the ball to the goal. Feguli, who was outflanking him, easily hit the goal and scored, 1:0!
Seeing that the attack on the right was effective, Gaya on the left was not to be outdone and frequently moved forward to participate in the attack.
But perhaps he was too keen on offense and neglected defense. Before the end of the first half, he just relaxed once and the left area he was responsible for was penetrated by his opponent.
The midfielder of Gent launched a lob pass, and forward Fortko went straight into the penalty area. Gaya, who retreated urgently, had to make an overhead hook to clear the ball, but he forgot that he was only 1.72 meters tall, even if he was stretched straight in the air
The toes did not touch the ball, but instead became the backdrop for the opponent's celebration...
Nuno shook his head repeatedly:
"Today's young people only think about fancy playing methods. Does he think he is Ibrahimovic or Higuita?"
If it weren't for the fact that Gaya is only 20 years old and his talent is almost overflowing to the naked eye, he would have been on the bench with Vizzo!
During the halftime break, Nuno did not criticize Gaya who lost the ball, and even gave him a few words of encouragement. This greatly boosted the young Gaia's confidence. In the second half, he not only did not relax his defense, but instead "intensified" and continued to strengthen his offensive.
!
Cancelo was also unwilling to be outdone and frequently pushed forward, completely handing over his backcourt to two central defenders and a goalkeeper!
Under such a crazy offensive, Gent was almost completely suppressed. Even if there was an occasional counterattack, it was resolved by Fuego in the midfield. Lee Polo, who stayed in the center circle, did not touch the ball once in the first ten minutes of the second half.
!
But it was precisely because of this continuous onslaught that Valencia got three corner kick opportunities within ten minutes.
In the 11th minute, Rodrigo took a corner kick and Lee Polo got his first chance to touch the ball in the second half!
He did not miss this opportunity, directly pushed away the central defender in front of him, and shook his head forcefully!
2:1!
Gent, who was lagging behind again, was obviously in disarray. They wanted to take the initiative, but they were in a panic under Valencia's full-court press. In the 72nd minute, the two full-backs connected and Cancelo made a pass from the right.
Too much force hit the crossbar. Gaya rushed into the penalty area and shot a supplementary shot from a small angle. Gent defender Mitrovic, who rushed back to defend, unfortunately blocked the ball into his own door...
To be continued...
