ps, sorry, I forgot to set automatic update last night before going to bed...
In addition, today is still the fourth update, please vote for me!

The success of winning games aroused the hatred of Valencia players towards Barcelona.
There is often no necessary connection between friendly relations between clubs and hostile relations between teams.
Before the game started, Gaspart, the president of Barcelona Club, and Oti, the president of Valencia Club, shook hands with each other. They both had smiles on their faces and exchanged a few words with Oti in a low voice from time to time.
Di's relationship is really good.
It was a completely different situation from the previous game between Valencia and Real Madrid.
But the happy scene on the podium has nothing to do with the fierce competition on the field.
Encouraged by their constant wins, Valencia's players now have only one thought in their minds - revenge!
That game last season left a deep impression on many Valencia players.
Especially after Rivalnado beat them, Camp Nou celebrated almost wildly. To the losers, it seemed like a show off.
It's just that after the game is over, the season is over. Everyone leaves one after another. No one will always be worried about a game. After all, life continues. No matter how the last season failed, the new season will always come.
.
So they deliberately forgot about this game...
They thought they could really forget this game.
But when they relived the highlights of that game in the dark locker room today, they heard Chang Sheng's sonorous and powerful rhetorical question in the darkness.
Are you willing?
They discovered that they had never forgotten that game, because they were really unwilling. They were defeated by a player who performed exceptionally well, but they were not defeated by Barcelona. In their view, Rivaldo was qualified to go to the Champions League.
But Barcelona doesn't.
Chang Sheng's actions today awakened the sleeping demons in their hearts, and the fire of revenge drove them to fight Barcelona on the court.
※※※
The Catalan media tried their best to promote the friendship between them and Valencia before the game. No one knows whether they hope to confuse Valencia and prevent Valencia from exerting its full strength in the game, but
Even if not, I must have thought so.
But now it seems that they did not confuse Valencia, but they confused their own team...
Barcelona's players didn't seem too excited during the game, and they were slow to get into the zone.
This was not something too fatal originally, but when they encountered a group of Valencia players bent on revenge, the situation was completely different.
Most of the players who have won this game are old Valencia players. Most of them have experienced the game last season - whether they are on the court or on the bench, these players are certain about that game.
Very impressive.
Allowing these players to vent all their energy will not be wasted on the bench.
The forwards are Angulo and Ibrahimovic. Although Villa has recovered from injury, he also had assists in the first two rounds of the league and his performance is acceptable. However, Angulo has been in better form recently. In the last round of the league away game
Against Villarreal, Angulo had an assist, and in the last UEFA Cup game against Servet, Angulo scored twice.
With such an outstanding performance, there is no reason for him to continue to sit on the bench. Besides, Angulo was a player who participated in the last round of the league last season.
In the midfield, although Aimar also returned from injury, he still did not play in this game.
The four midfielders are all players who participated in the league match with Barcelona last season. The double midfielders Albelda and Baraja, the right midfielder Mendieta, and the left midfielder Vicente.
Baraja was the player who scored twice in the game last season. His outstanding performance failed to bring victory to the team in the end, which has always been a regret in Baraja's heart.
Now in this game, he naturally wants to make up for this shortcoming.
At center back, Pellegrino and Carvalho partner, right back is Paulo Ferreira, and left back is Aurelio.
Goalkeeper Canizares picked up the ball three times in the goal last season.
Such a lineup can be said to be a scarred lineup. Except for Ibrahimovic, Carvalho and Ferreira, they are all players who participated in the last round of the league last season, but some of them were
They are the main force, and some are substitutes.
Chang Sheng allowed them to play in order to allow them to turn their unwillingness towards that game and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred towards Barcelona into motivation for this game.
Now it seems that his strategy was quite successful. Because from the beginning of the game, Valencia took advantage of their home court and launched a fierce offensive against Barcelona's players.

In Barcelona after the 2008-2009 seasons, any team that dared to compete with them died miserably.
But this is not the 2008-2009 season, and Barcelona today is not the "Cosmic Team" led by Guardiola in the future.
So when Valencia launched a fierce attack at their home court, Barcelona, which had entered a slower state, was a little overwhelmed...
In fact, Barcelona has always lacked a correct understanding of Valencia football.
When the two teams played against each other in the first half of the season, because Ibrahimovic had some problems, what was shown in that game was not the real Valencia. And Barcelona was playing against such a Valencia team.
, their personal experience with Valencia is naturally only that one game.
Naturally, they lack more knowledge about Valencia. Although the media can understand Valencia's tactics by watching game videos, they are always separated by a layer of window paper...
Under the constant impact of Valencia, Barcelona's defense began to have problems.
Due to Valencia's pressing tactics in the frontcourt, Barcelona could not even get past the midfield.
When Chang Sheng saw this scene off the court, he was quite sad.
Six years later, he watched a lot of Barcelona games. After a group of small men in Barcelona's frontcourt lost the ball, they started to scramble for it, making it impossible for the opponent to pass the ball. Their defense created a lot of trouble for the opponent.
I really didn’t expect that one day they would be dealt with by this tactic...

In the home game, Guardiola did not watch the game at home, but came to the scene. In the stands of Mestalla, he witnessed with his own eyes how his former teammates were surrounded by Valencia in the away game.
It was so tight that I couldn't even get through half the game.
His face is not very good-looking. After all, he has played for the Barcelona first team for ten years and his relationship is extraordinary.
Now seeing Barcelona's poor performance, he feels the same way.
Barcelona's problems are no longer football-level problems, but problems within the team and the club's top management. He can't do anything about these problems, so he finally chose to leave. Unexpectedly, his departure did not bring Barcelona back on track, and civil strife
still……
He sighed, it's a miracle that Barcelona can still be ranked third!
Look at the completely different performances of the two teams Valencia and Barcelona in this game. This is the gap between the third place in the league and the first place in the league.
Speaking of which, he and Chang Sheng designed this tactic together, but unexpectedly it was used on his own team. Although he didn't have to play in the game against Barcelona, it seemed like he was helping Valencia with his own hands.
Beating Barcelona makes no difference…
He felt that he would eventually reach that point... and meet his former club on the court.
Because he participated in the formulation of Valencia's offensive tactics, he knew very well that Barcelona with this kind of performance had little chance of beating Valencia away from home.

Guardiola thought well. In the 21st minute of the first half, Valencia stole the ball from Xavi's feet and quickly launched an attack. Baraja passed through and Ibrahimo
Vic got the ball with his back, but he didn't make any more adjustments. Instead, he moved the outside of his instep. It was a very light and inconspicuous pass. The ball penetrated Barcelona's defense, and then Vicente cut in from the wing.
, ran to a neutral position, met the ball and fired angrily!
"Vicente!!!"
Accompanied by the roar of commentator Moen, Vicente slammed the door hard!
The football was kicked hard towards Barcelona's goal.
Although Barcelona goalkeeper Bonanno guarded the near corner, he could only defend the lower corner because the center of gravity was too low. When the football flew over his head, Bonanno only had time to wave his hand, but did not touch the football at all.
…
"g!!! Vicente! Vicente! Valencia led Barcelona 1:0 at home!! Faced with Valencia's frontcourt press, Barcelona seemed very uncomfortable. For a while, their offense
I can’t even get past half time!”
"Valencia looks almost invincible! They beat Real Madrid at home and away. Will Barcelona have to repeat the same mistake?"
After scoring the goal, Vicente seemed very excited. He turned around and pointed at Ibrahimovic who passed the ball to him. Ibrahimovic laughed and rushed towards him, and other Valencia players also followed suit.
Come up, hug the two, and celebrate the goal together.
"In the last round of the league last season, Valencia lost to Barcelona 2:3 in an away game. Now it seems that Valencia has revenge to take revenge! They have never forgotten that game... Rivaldo is still on the court,
Can he save the team in this game? At least in the first twenty minutes of the game, it is difficult to see such signs..."
While Valencia's players celebrated, Barcelona's players stood on the court, staring blankly at their opponents.
They have played many games this season, but none of them have been as frustrating as these twenty minutes!
Yes, if they had to find an adjective for their feelings, many people would choose to use "suffering". They felt very aggrieved. They couldn't kick the ball out, and their football style couldn't be used at all. They were beaten by Wallen.
Westia ran after her ass like a mad dog, completely losing the ability to think. She could only mechanically transfer the ball, pass the ball, and pass the ball again, until she finally lost the ball...
They couldn't understand. It seemed that the football played by Valencia was somewhat similar to their football, but why did it appear completely different?
What's so great about Valencia's tactics?
Many people are puzzled.
If the game continues like this, these Barcelona players will never see the dawn of victory... To be continued.
