The 176th dirty loses four games in a row (46/136)
Mendieta eventually became Valencia's breakthrough.
After all, compared to Helgra, his defensive ability is still weak.
In the 66th minute, Deco once again sent a through ball.
This time Real Madrid's offside tactics failed, and Villa once again received the ball in space.
Then Casillas was thrown behind him, and he shot a short corner. Casillas pounced in the wrong direction, and the football flew into the goal without any suspense!
"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! David Villa! Villa! Scored twice! I really don’t want to say it’s unbelievable... but this scene is really hard to believe! Could it be that the relationship between Valencia and Real Madrid
Is the gap already so huge? Facing Valencia, no matter how strong Real Madrid is, they can't seem to find a way to win... They lost three games last season. In the first game of this season, they
Two goals behind again! This is really...unbelievable!"
Not only the commentator Moen found it unbelievable, the reporters in the media box, the fans in the stands, and everyone on the podium all felt that this scene was a bit too fantasy.
Real Madrid, the Champions League champions and the giant club that bought Ronaldo and Mendieta in the summer, were beaten so hard against Valencia that they couldn't even fight back.
Isn't this a little too weird?
What is the ability to win often? Can it bring about earth-shaking changes to the Valencia team?
Although Valencia could beat Real Madrid in the past, it was only occasionally and depended on luck.
Today's Valencia looks like it's destined for Real Madrid.
They were not in as good shape against other teams as against Real Madrid.

As Valencia's players swarmed to celebrate, Mendieta watched on, breathing heavily.
He ran very hard and tried very hard, but the results were not good. This was not a position he was adapted to, nor was it a task he liked. Defense was really not what he was good at.
Although he also defended when he was in Valencia. But at that time, Valencia's defensive requirements for him were to press in the frontcourt and he had to intercept from the midfielder position.
These two defenses are completely different in nature.
In Valencia, he defended very easily, but in Real Madrid, it felt like his legs were filled with lead.
After listening to what my agent said, I thought that transferring to Real Madrid would be an opportunity to take my career to new heights.
The new season has not yet started, and it is hard to say what the future will be like. But now the team he once played for is two goals ahead of the team he is currently playing for at the Bernabeu...
There was an indescribable feeling in his heart, a bit bitter.

Real Madrid's superstars looked at the Valencia players cheering and celebrating with dull eyes.
The combined worth of Valencia's entire team may not be as high as that of a few of them, but the two most valuable players have already been sold by Chang Sheng.
But it was a team that had always been a loser, but it counterattacked them.
And they haven't found the reason yet.
They didn't understand why they were two goals behind at home.
When the game resumed, Real Madrid's players seemed more impatient, and their offense was basically fought alone.
Ronaldo, who newly joined the team, worked hard and wanted to score goals to start his career in Real Madrid. However, in the narrow space, he also lost room to perform. Since he was seriously injured twice, he has looked special since his comeback.
Be careful, now he rarely makes difficult passing moves in games, and those moves are a big burden on his knees. Now he is working hard towards becoming a pure shooter.
.
The passing movement is simple and practical, just step on the bicycle and then accelerate. Simple and direct.
The shooting action is also very simple.
Unlike in the past, when the goalkeeper didn't shoot, his shooting skills are much better now than before, but fans may rarely see him pass several people in a row, and finally beat the goalkeeper.
Ronaldo was stuck in the quagmire of Valencia, and Raul wasn't much better.
Why Raul likes to cooperate with Morientes is because Morientes is a standard powerful center. With him, Raul can attract defensive attention and create opportunities for him.
Raul is actually a second forward, lurking behind a center like Morientes is more conducive to his performance.
But now Ronaldo is obviously not a center like Morientes. He needs to have the ball. When the ball comes to his feet, it is more about shooting rather than passing.
Raul became a coolie who kept running around the court but couldn't find many opportunities.
Figo was restricted to the right. When Valencia shrank its defense, he could only pass into the penalty area. But neither Ronaldo nor Raul are the kind of centers who are good at heading the ball. Originally, his balls were given to Mo
Rentes's, now replaced by Ronaldo, he himself is a little uncomfortable. Although Valencia's center back is not tall, he has excellent header ability and excellent ability to grab points.
Therefore, Figo's cross did not pose any threat to Valencia's goal.
Perhaps Zidane has the ability to threaten Valencia's goal. Valencia is obviously aware of this, so they take special care of Zidane.
It would be okay if Zidane comes from the left wing but does not come to the center, but as long as he comes to the center, Baraja and Alberda will definitely pounce on Zidane like a mad dog.
But it is impossible for Zidane not to come to the center, and he has to give up the left wing to Roberto Carlos. This is why Zidane, who plays as an attacking midfielder, is a left midfielder in the formation. His left midfielder is
Fake, after the game starts, he will frequently cut inside, and then give up the left wing to Roberto Carlos.
So Real Madrid's formation is very "abnormal".
But it's also because Real Madrid has the number one left back, Roberto Carlos, that they can play like this. Carlos at his peak could completely dominate the left wing by himself, and naturally he didn't need Zidane's help here.
But now Carlos encountered the same problem.
He pressed up to attack, but there was no space for him to use his speed. The ball was easily intercepted. If he wanted to force a pass, Paulo Ferreira would immediately come up to block him. The right back was completely
If you don't assist, you are full-time defensive. It's almost like you are specifically designed to deal with him.
Roberto Carlos saw the power of this right back last season. And in the end, Paulo Ferreira is not struggling alone, he also has teammates, and other Valencia players will come back to help defend, allowing Carlos to
Ross was miserable.
When Real Madrid's five players attacked, they were all restrained by Valencia's tactics.

Chang Sheng saw off the court that despite Real Madrid's fierce offensive, they never scored a goal, and he was very satisfied with the team's defense.
Of course, this is just for Real Madrid's defense. Real Madrid's situation is different from other teams. Although Real Madrid has many superstars, the phenomenon of fighting on their own is more serious now. Especially after forcing a Ronaldo
After playing Mendieta, their frontcourt offense was in disarray.
It's easy to deal with such a team.
If you encounter a team that is as focused on overall combat as Valencia and has outstanding superstars, you have to be careful about winning.
Now that I think about it, La Liga at the turn of the century was really a stage suitable for winning games and getting started.
At that time, La Liga was full of heroes, but no team had absolute dominance. Even Real Madrid, which had many superstars, could not completely dominate La Liga. They were robbed of three league titles by Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia.
.
After the era of Super Deportivo and Valencia passed, they themselves began to decline. Especially after the 2002-2003 season, Real Madrid's superstars also won the league championship and the Champions League championship, and lost their motivation.
, this team quickly deteriorated.
At this time, in addition to Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia, and Real Madrid, Barcelona happened to be caught in a civil strife that lasted for several years. They had not solved this problem and they also lost their dominance in the league.
Last season they even had to fight with Valencia for a Champions League qualification. They had already locked in the Champions League qualification before, and their goal was just to compete with Real Madrid for the league title.
In such a chaotic La Liga, it is not difficult to dominate. Benitez can lead a team of pure losers Valencia to win two league championships. There is no reason for him to be worse than him.
If you had to wait until Rijkaard took over at Barcelona, it would be much more difficult to get involved.
The Dream Team II dominated La Liga, it was Capello and Schuster’s Real Madrid, followed by Guardiola’s Dream Team III, and then Mourinho’s Real Madrid counterattack team.
At that time, it was no longer called La Liga, but "La Liga" plus La Liga.

In the last ten minutes of the game, Real Madrid had given up hope of winning. They were still chasing a goal tirelessly. If the score in the first round could be 1:2, then there would still be a chance in the second round away from home.
Chang Sheng has started to make substitutions. Being able to play against Real Madrid is a good opportunity for his players to accumulate experience.
Cambiasso replaced Deco, but the task given to him by Changsheng was not to take over Deco's organization, but to defend. In terms of offensive organization, he is now much more immature than Deco. Cambiaso really
Maturity only comes after going to Inter Milan, and Deco has actually shown his dominance in Porto. Especially starting from the 2002-2003 season, Mourinho's first full season in Porto, Deco was the team's leader.
The core midfielder led the team to win the Triple Crown in one fell swoop, and the following season he won the Champions League with Porto.
When he had such achievements, Cambiaso was still playing as a substitute at Real Madrid...
Cambiasso himself did not expect that he and his old club would meet so soon, so he was still very active and ran tirelessly on the court to create trouble for Zidane.
Except for Cambiaso, Chang Sheng’s remaining two substitutions were all used on defense. He replaced Pellegrino for Ayala, and Curro Torres replaced Paul Fei.
Leila.
It's clear he took the defensive experiment to the end...
※※※
At the last moment, Real Madrid launched a violent attack on Valencia's goal, hoping to score a face-saving goal. But unfortunately, they were unable to achieve this goal until the end of the game.
Valencia couldn't defend. Coupled with the three winning skills, Real Madrid attacked several times but failed.
The final score was 0:2, and the home team Real Madrid lost to Valencia at home.
This score surprised many people.
Because before the game, everyone thought that Real Madrid should be able to win no matter what, even if it was a narrow victory like 2:1 or 3:2, they should be able to win. Unexpectedly, Real Madrid lost again... and it was a loss without scoring a goal.
Law.
This is their fourth meeting with Chang Sheng, and they have not won a single game, not even a draw.
When Chang Sheng left Real Madrid, he promised to make Real Madrid regret it. Now he is fulfilling his promise little by little.
Real Madrid doesn't think it's a big deal if they lose one game, it doesn't matter if they lose two games, and it doesn't matter if they lose three or four games.
But what if I keep losing like this?
Can Real Madrid still be stubborn and say they have no regrets?
This is really a question worth thinking about. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to become a registered member of Piaotian Literature to recommend this work. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
