Chapter 193 Back to the Top (53/136)
"Aha!" Seeing Chang Sheng's action, the commentator Mo En laughed. After a season of commentary, he already knows Chang Sheng's temper very well.
"This is Chang Sheng! This is his style! Not only does he want to win your ball, he also wants to stimulate you! If you have a grudge against him, then you are out of luck. If you are targeted by him, you will definitely be killed by him." So mad! This is him, a person who is definitely not aboveboard... But he has never tried to hide this of himself. Even if he is a villain, he is a real villain..."
When there were huge boos and curses at the Calderón Stadium, Chang Sheng did not change himself. He continued to provoke Atletico Madrid fans and stood proudly in front of the coach's bench.
He was like a crazy Don Quixote who challenged the windmill. But the thing is...he succeeded!
Two seasons ago, he personally buried Atletico Madrid's hopes of promotion.
Now he leads the team to lead Atletico Madrid in the game.
Two seasons ago, people thought he was going to challenge Atletico Madrid. People thought it was idiotic, but now no one thinks there is anything incredible about it.
Since Getafe can double-kill Atletico Madrid, it should not be a big deal for Valencia to win Atletico Madrid in the away game...
※ ※ ※
Atletico Madrid coach Aragones has studied Valencia's tactics. But the more he studied, the more addicted he became.
When he led Mallorca, he played against Chang Sheng in the final of the King's Cup. At that time, the team Chang Sheng coached was the newly promoted Makhtafe.
At that time, Getafe played a tactic similar to that of Mad Dog, but at that time it seemed very rough, and the players did not understand it deeply, and it was more of a similarity than a similarity.
After all, it only took a week.
But even so, Getafe still used such an immature tactic to defeat Mallorca and won the King's Cup.
At that time, this set of tactics was just a prototype and not very mature.
Today, Valencia's mad dog tactics are very mature, they play dazzling football, every player is running, running non-stop. Then the football started to run in this non-stop running,
Let the opponent have no way to start, and can only follow the rhythm of Valencia.
The core of Valencia's midfield last season was Guardiola.
Guardiola was injured this season, and people thought that Valencia's mad dog tactics would definitely suffer a heavy blow. Unexpectedly, Changsheng poached Deco from Porto again. The Brazilian midfielder who is little-known in the European continent can perfectly replace Guardiola's role in the team. So Valencia's mad dog tactics have not been negatively affected in the slightest.
It is not the first time that Aragones admires Chang Sheng so much. The last time the two sides played against each other in the Copa del Rey, although they were opponents, Aragones admired the young man Chang Sheng very much.
This time the two met again, and Aragones became more obsessed with Valencia's tactics as he studied them.
This tactic of Valencia seems to have opened a window to a new world for him...
This window allowed him to see a completely different world.
Even though he is an opponent, he has to praise Chang Sheng's genius-like wisdom.
Although it is a bit inappropriate to do so, and Changsheng and Atletico Madrid are even more sworn enemies.
So Aragones can only bury his appreciation for Chang Sheng in his heart.
The more I research, the more I find that it is very difficult to win with Atletico Madrid's current strength...
It is not easy for him to keep the team going for forty minutes.

For the Atletico Madrid players, when they did not play against Valencia, they were very unconvinced. I don't think Valencia is very good. They have an advantage at home, and they are eager to revenge and have high morale. With so many favorable conditions, how could it be possible to lose to Valencia?
But when they really started to play against Valencia, they realized that it was not that simple.
They thought Valencia football was nothing more than passing the ball and passing the ball.
But when they were on the court, when they really faced Valencia's "pass, pass, and pass" tactics, they felt at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Because they can't grab the ball at all.
No matter how hard they try, how hard they try, they can't get the ball.
Valencia's pass was like flowing water, easily bypassing Atletico Madrid's defense.
This is the first time they have competed with this kind of tactics, and they realized that it has nothing to do with fighting spirit and hard work...
Before Valencia scored the first goal, after eight consecutive passes from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Atletico Madrid's players did not grab the ball once.
Then Baraja plugged in and blasted into Atletico Madrid's goal.
In the face of such a goal, even if Atletico Madrid has more fighting spirit and hard work, what is the use?
※ ※ ※
The first half ended with such a score. Neither side made adjustments and substitutions in the second half.
Valencia continued to use mad dog tactics and Atletico Madrid to deal with.
Atlético Madrid continued to be unable to come up with any solution.
They shrink their defense and hit fast counterattacks. They can only hope for Torres' speed and personal ability.
But Torres was completely frozen by Carvalho in this game.
No matter what, you can't get past it.
In the TV shots, Torres often appears helpless or annoyed, because Carvalho used his experience and awareness to block Torres' route.
In the end, the young and energetic Torres simply shoveled Carvalho from behind, received a red card for himself, and went off the field directly.
This is the second time he has been sent off this season.
It fully shows that young people are full of anger...
※ ※ ※
Chang Sheng is also very dissatisfied with Torres' actions, although the opponent has been sent off by a red card.
His concern now is whether Carvalho will get injured.
Fortunately, Carvalho was fine. He stood up and received simple treatment, then returned to the court and continued the game.
In the 75th minute, Valencia's Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a goal, fixing the score at 2:0 and securing the victory.
In the end, Valencia defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 away.
They won with ease, turning Atlético Madrid's revenge scheme into a joke.
Hill Sr. refused to be interviewed after the game, while Hill Jr. blamed reporters for blocking.
He can only say: "I don't want to discuss the topic about that Chinese!"
He didn't want to discuss it, but Chang Sheng really wanted to.
"In the second half of the season, we are in Mestalla, welcome Atlético Madrid to come to revenge. Ha!" In the press conference after the game, Chang Sheng was very happy and cheap... "I will always wait for Madrid Compete for revenge. But don’t get more revenge, the bigger the hatred..."
In this way, the beam between Changsheng and Atletico Madrid is even bigger.
But Chang Sheng doesn't care, and I believe people in Atletico Madrid don't care either.
For them, they will gradually get used to it.

After defeating Atletico Madrid, there is a good thing for Valencia, that is, their league ranking jumped directly from the previous fourth place to the first place!
In just one game, Valencia's ranking has risen by three places. This shows how fierce the competition is at the forefront of the standings.
None of the top three are even traditional giants.
Valencia ranked first with fourteen points. Real Sociedad also has 14 points, but their goal difference is less than Valencia, so they can only rank second in the league.
The third place in the league is Malaga with twelve points.
Next is Celta Vigo with 11 points, and Real Madrid with 11 points.
As for Barcelona, they have dropped out of the eighth place. They are in ninth place with only eight points.
In the sixth round, Real Sociedad drew, Real Madrid lost, Celta Vigo lost, and Malaga drew.
Valencia was finally able to return to the top of the league.
It is tantamount to stepping on the corpse of Atletico Madrid.
This makes Atletico Madrid fans even more upset.
But there is no way to be upset. Who can make them lose at home?
They could have stretched out Valencia into the quagmire and pulled it again, but they were stepped on by the other party and landed on the shore.
Atlético Madrid should be as frustrated as they are, and as upset as they are.

After the game against Atlético Madrid, the game against Basel will be in the middle of the week.
Although they only played against Atletico Madrid on the weekend, Changsheng still sent all the main players away to Basel.
In this regard, Chang Sheng's explanation is: "It doesn't take much effort to play Atletico Madrid. The players are in good condition and physical condition, so there is no need to take a rotation break."
This sentence made Atletico Madrid half-dead.
Finally, in the away game, Valencia drew 2:2 with Basel. They had three wins and one draw in the four rounds of the group stage. They scored 14 goals and conceded two goals.
In the case of Basel being tied by Liverpool at home, the four rounds of the league only accumulated five points, ranking third in the group. With two league rounds left, it has basically appeared ahead of schedule.
Although strictly speaking, Basel still has the possibility of a comeback-as long as they win in the last two rounds of the group stage, while Valencia loses.
That means Basel have 11 points and Valencia 10.
At the same time, if Valencia loses the last two rounds, because there is a game against Liverpool. It also means that they lost to Liverpool, so they have ten points for the original atmosphere. Lost to Basel in the last round, also scored 10 points, and scored the same points as Valencia.
In this case, first compare the win-loss relationship between Liverpool and Valencia. Both Valencia and Liverpool have one win and one loss. Then compare the goal difference between the two sides when they played against each other.
This is hard to say. Valencia beat Liverpool 2:0 at home, which is not a big difference.
As long as Liverpool can beat Valencia 3-0 at home, they will overwhelm Valencia with a goal difference and become second in the group.
So theoretically speaking, Valencia still has a situation where they cannot qualify for the group stage with points.
But this probability is too low.
It is possible for Valencia to lose two games in a row, and Basel to win two games in a row, and it is also necessary for Liverpool to beat Valencia by at least three goals at home.
Of these three things, the probability of any one of them happening alone is low enough. Not to mention three things put together...
In short, even if Valencia announces that they will upgrade ahead of schedule, no one will say anything.
However, Chang Sheng was very cautious after the game: "Theoretically, we still have the possibility of being out. So we will go all out and stick to the last game. Now is not the time to celebrate."
Liverpool's "Echo" sighed for Basel after hearing what E Changsheng said: "Such a calm Changsheng makes people feel desperate... Basel even has the last hope, the theoretical possibility of qualifying, It's all gone..."
