Chapter 258 Out of Stamina?

In the twenty-fourth round of the league, Valencia will go away to challenge Real Madrid.

This is a confrontation between the first and second in the league.

But neither Valencia nor Real Madrid think this is the game to decide the league title this season.

Because it is too early.

If you're in the last eight rounds of the league, maybe you can say that.

It's really early now.

Even if either side loses the game, it does not mean that the winning team will win the league championship.

They still have 14 league rounds to make up for the mistakes made in this game.

Although this is not a game that can determine the final championship, Chang Sheng still wants his team to beat Real Madrid away.

Because it's not about championships, it's about revenge.

In the first meeting between the two sides this season, Valencia beat Real Madrid 2-0 at home.

This time, if Real Madrid wants to take revenge, it is always a good opportunity at their own home court.

And it's really a good opportunity.

Because Valencia has been hit by injuries, the lineup has not been complete during this period.

Originally, the first-team lineup of 23 people was just right, but who knew that this season encountered a wave of injuries, many players were injured, and there were often situations where one group got better and another group got injured. Since the first day, Chang Sheng's men have not gathered the first team lineup to train together.

The last time they lost 0:2 to Valencia, it can be considered that Valencia's physical fitness was relatively abundant at that time.

Now they have persisted in 23 league rounds with an incomplete lineup, six Copa del Rey games, and six Champions League games. Their physical condition must be bad.

It is an away game again, and Valencia may be in danger this time!

But the reality surprised many people.

※※※

Valencia didn't look tired at all at the Bernabeu,

Or less tired than people think.

They continued their "mad dog tactics", running and pressing from the start of the game.

From fifteen minutes into the game, the commentator Moen kept repeating this sentence: "Valencia continues to play like this, their physical fitness may not be able to maintain the whole game..."

Twenty-five minutes, thirty-five minutes, forty-five minutes passed.

Throughout the first half, Valencia struggled with Real Madrid for forty-five minutes. Although they didn't score a goal, they didn't concede a goal.

Queiroz is not in a hurry, he is waiting for the fatal blow in the second half.

It's normal for Valencia to show no signs of physical breakdown in the first half. If this team can't even last half of the game, they can't be on the same score as Real Madrid. They overwhelm Real Madrid by goal difference and rank First.

During the intermission, Queiroz asked the players to make persistent efforts, and the victory will definitely belong to Real Madrid.

After the start of the second half, Queiroz and everyone were waiting for Valencia to collapse due to exhaustion.

But they waited ten minutes, twenty minutes.

After seventy-five minutes, Valencia still showed no signs of collapsing.

Not only that, they also scored a goal in the 76th minute! Break the deadlock on the field!

"Ronaldinho!!! Ronaldinho!!! The Brazilian hit Real Madrid with a direct free kick!"

After the goal, Ronaldinho looked very excited. He ran to the corner flag area and danced the samba. He didn't mind the boos and curses of the Real Madrid fans in the stands.

※※※

Queiroz stood up from his seat and looked in surprise at the Valencia players celebrating their goal. He couldn't figure it out, it was seventy-five minutes, why the Valencia players could still run so well!

It stands to reason that the 75th minute of a game is a hurdle.

Basically, the physical fitness of the players will be exhausted at this time, entering a very tired period.

Even Real Madrid's players showed fatigue, their running was obviously not as good as before, and their speed and rhythm also dropped.

But the Mad Dogs in Valencia still have no intention of slowing down their tempo. Their passing and running are very fast, and the transfer of the ball is dazzling, and the sight can't keep up...

Queiroz is a bit unbelievable. He thought Valencia's performance defied common sense.

Valencia's tactics are very energy-intensive. They rely heavily on physical fitness, and their physical condition directly affects their performance and results.

It stands to reason that Valencia is fighting on the third front this season, coupled with the number of injuries, their physical fitness should not be as good as before.

But why did the league mention February, and Valencia's physical fitness did not show a clear decline?

Not only Queiroz was puzzled, but Valencia's own players also found it incredible.

It stands to reason that they should be very tired, and they all felt this way during training, feeling very tired physically.

But when it comes to the game, they will feel full of physical strength, as if they don't know what "tired" is at all.

They don't know why, but they don't have to delve into it either. As long as they still have the strength and can run.

After the game restarted, Valencia still did not show any signs of exhaustion.

On the contrary, the Real Madrid players were impatient after conceding the ball, and the physical fitness that was not much was lost at an accelerated rate.

The running of the two sides formed a sharp contrast.

The quality of Valencia's Mad Dog tactics has not declined significantly, they are still passing moves and passing.

And what about Real Madrid? In the end, he could only shrink within his own 30-meter area, hoping to stick to the goal.

But even so, they were still confused by Valencia's continuous passing and running, and finally there was a big gap in the defense.

With a through ball from Ronaldinho, Villa was where he was supposed to be and scored.

"David Villa! An easy score! This shot is not a wonderful one, but before that, the performance of the Valencia team was classic! They passed through continuous and uninterrupted movement, a total of seventeen Foot, tore apart Real Madrid's defense. Faced with such an attack, Real Madrid has nothing to do!"

"A flawless team goal display! This is Valencia football!"

When Moen was cheering for Valencia, he had completely forgotten what he had said, "Valencia will definitely not last until the end of the game if we continue to play like this".

But he still wants to say: "Valencia's physical fitness is amazing! Are they really a team that has persisted for six months with this set of broken formations!"

※※※

There were boos at the Bernabéu when Villa scored the second goal. But this booing is not for Valencia, but for Real Madrid players, for Real Madrid club president Florentino.

With so many superstars, they can't even win Valencia, allowing them to double-kill Real Madrid this season. Real Madrid fans can't accept it anyway.

They think that Real Madrid's superstars lack fighting spirit on the court, and some balls can be grabbed but they don't run away. There are only a few defensive players who really work hard, but what can they do? Even if they can successfully block Valencia and keep them from scoring goals, the team is already two goals behind.

Makelele played very hard, but his performance in the attack is really not flattering.

When he has the ball, Valencia checks that no one is going up to press him and interfere with him, so he can't make a deadly pass - that's not what he does!

And the boos were for Florentino.

After he became the chairman of the Real Madrid Club, although Real Madrid achieved unprecedented commercial success, they got rid of huge debts in one fell swoop and quickly became the most profitable football team in the world. But this cannot cover up the team's competitive failure.

Since he became the chairman of the Real Madrid club, this century-old club has only won one league title and one Champions League title. At other times, although they seem to be very famous and star-studded, they have no honor to show.

When Beckham joined the team, he was given the nickname "Galaxy Battleship". At that time, he was envious and in awe of Real Madrid's ability to attract so many superstars to join.

Now, referring to the title "Galactic Warship" is more like a mockery.

In the eyes of the fans, the team's failures at the competitive level are all Florentino's failures.

He piled up too many stars, but it was useless at all. These superstars have not exerted the power of "11=2".

Some fans even think that Florentino has brought so many superstars, it is better to bring a constant victory.

In the match against Valencia, they have no wins!

This was brought to them by the Chinese coach named Chang Sheng.

Amidst the boos, the Real Madrid players lost their fighting spirit.

Real Madrid fans began to appear in the stands waving white handkerchiefs.

In Spanish sports, waving a white handkerchief has two meanings. If it is a bullfight, waving a white handkerchief means praise and reward for the matador.

But in football, this is not so embarrassing.

Waving a white handkerchief often means irony and defection to the team you support, and it is usually a move made by the fans of the home team out of anger and disappointment.

Last season, Valencia challenged Barcelona away. The final score of that game was 4:1, and Valencia won the other side. In the final moments of the game, the Camp Nou was filled with waving white handkerchiefs and boos as Barcelona fans protested their team's incompetence.

After that game, Van Gaal, who entered the palace for the second time, dismissed get out of class sadly.

In this game, the white handkerchiefs of Real Madrid fans were not waved to coach Queiroz, but to Florentino.

Seeing this scene, Chang Sheng couldn't help laughing.

He felt that he might be able to bring Real Madrid's end-of-season collapse ahead of time... (to be continued)
