The Winner Is King

Chapter 271 Muscle Soreness

Real Madrid lost the Copa del Rey championship, but the Madrid media that supported Real Madrid used the mouthpieces "Marca" and "Aspen" to divert attention from Real Madrid, advocating that the Copa del Rey is a tasteless game. It's okay for Barcelona to talk about the fact that they are the team that has won the most championships in the history of the King's Cup. In fact, everyone doesn't care at all.

Only the league and the Champions League are the directions that a wealthy team with aspirations should work towards.

The implication is that the Valencia media and the team are so happy for a Copa del Rey champion, it's really useless!

We can still compete for the league title and the Champions League, why should we feel pain and sorrow for a loss in the Copa del Rey final?

Three days later, Real Madrid ushered in a key battle on the way to the title at the San Mames Stadium.

They challenged Athletic Bilbao away!

This is the first game of the twenty-ninth round of the league.

Everyone's focus is mostly on Real Madrid.

I want to see if they can get past Athletic Bilbao and continue to put pressure on Valencia.

Real Madrid is the only team that can still threaten Valencia.

Even Chang Sheng sat in front of the TV and watched the game.

The first half of the game has been uneventful. Although there were some intense scenes, the deadlock on the field was not broken.

But after 40 minutes, the situation on the court changed suddenly!

In the 43rd minute, Yester opened the scoring for Athletic Bilbao, and the home team led 1-0!

Two minutes later, in the last minute of the first half, Urces expanded the score for Bilba's "fastest chapter update" E Athletic. 2:0!

This is almost equivalent to a bolt from the blue on the head of Real Madrid!

Is Real Madrid going to lose away to Athletic Bilbao? If Valencia wins again at that time, the point difference between the double reverse will be reduced to six points!

The second half has just begun. Raul Gonzalez stepped forward to save Real Madrid and gave Real Madrid fans a reassurance.

Forty-six minutes,

He equalized the score for the team.

Then the Real Madrid team has been working hard for another goal.

Twenty minutes later, in the 66th minute, Raul Gonzalez scored twice, and he equalized the score for Real Madrid!

The Real Madrid man let out a sigh of relief. The game is finally back on track...

They began to hope that under the leadership of the captain, the team would complete a shocking comeback, finally win, take away three points, and be proud of San Mames!

Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is often cruel.

Seventy-fourth minute. Athletic Bilbao's young left-back Del Horno started his shining moments.

He first used his head to re-exceed the score for Athletic Bilbao.

Immediately after the 76th minute, he used a long shot from outside the penalty area to blast away the goal guarded by Casillas!

4:2!

"Del Horno! Del Horno! The young left-back almost single-handedly defeated Real Madrid! Two goals in two minutes, Athletic Bilbao re-established a two-goal lead! "The narrator Moen roared.

His voice reached Chang Sheng's ears through the TV. He raised his arms and cheered.

"" Now he suddenly wants to see how the "Marca" and "Aspen" newspapers published tomorrow will comment on this game...

"With fifteen minutes left in the game, Real Madrid must score three goals in a row! Yes, the equalizer means nothing to them. If they want to continue to bite Valencia, this game is very important. Gotta win! But now it looks like it's almost impossible... Real Madrid's players looked tired, and when Del Horno scored twice, the expressions on their faces were not even Painful. Rather... numb! They are already tired and numb! Faced with such a defeat, they have no reaction at all!"

That's right. Narrator! They are almost exhausted!

Chang Sheng said triumphantly in his heart.

※※※

Until the end of the game, Real Madrid failed to score even a single goal.

When Del Horno scored two goals in two minutes, Real Madrid's morale and physical strength seemed to be knocked out.

In this way, they lost to Athletic Bilbao with a score of 2:4.

All they can do next is hope that Valencia capsize in the home gutter, losing to Mallorca.

But is it possible?

※※※

The next day's "Marca" newspaper published a photo of Beckham in San Mames. In the background are the Athletic Bilbao players celebrating, with Beckham in front of them. Holding his head in his hands, with a painful expression on his face, he was the most expressive person in yesterday's game.

There is a vague figure in the distance, but it can still be seen that it is another superstar Zidane, who is lowering his head.

"Failure!" This is the title given by the "Marca" newspaper.

"The Winner Is King Chapter 271 Muscle Soreness (Guaranteed First Update)" "Aspen" reported the same moment, but it was shot from a different angle.

No Athletic Bilbao players. One photo includes the six superstars Raul, Ronaldo, Zidane, Luis Figo, Beckham, and Roberto Carlos. Beckham holds his head in his hands, while the others bow their heads or face blankly. expression.

There is no need for a title anymore, this photo can say it all.

Before the game against Mallorca, in the locker room of the Mestalla home team, Chang Sheng was making his final pre-war speech to his players.

"Real Madrid lost to Athletic Bilbao yesterday, which is good news for us. But it can also be bad news. If you are relieved, it is bad news. If you give your best Go ahead, that's good news through and through. It's all up to you. Do you want good news or bad news?"

Of course no one wants to hear bad news.

So Valencia went all out at home and defeated Mallorca with a score of 3:1.

In this way, the difference between them and Real Madrid widened to six points.

Although there are still nine league rounds before the end of the league, the gap of six points is not too big.

But is the ever-victorious Valencia the kind of team that easily gives opponents a chance?

A gap of six points is enough to decide many things.

Real Madrid has been hit hard in the league. They can only temporarily focus on the Champions League, looking forward to a breakthrough in the Champions League. It would be even better if they can directly win the tenth Champions League.

Real Madrid have drawn a good draw in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Their opponent is the Ligue 1 team Mona "the winner is king".

From the perspective of Real Madrid, Monaco is obviously a soft persimmon that can be pinched casually.

Entering the semi-finals is just around the corner.

After playing against Mallorca, Valencia went all out to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals against Milan.

The whole team has entered the sprint stage.

At this moment, something happened to Vicente.

After a training session, Vicente felt some pain in his left thigh muscle.

It stands to reason that he should tell his coach, but Vicente thought of the next Champions League game. He was the only one on the left side of the team, so he dismissed the idea.

He was worried that after letting the head coach Chang Sheng know his physical condition, he would be banned from playing.

It was the last thing he wanted to see.

This season, Vicente has had bad luck. He was seriously injured just after the start of the league, and former team doctor Lombart said that he only needs three months to recover. The actual recovery time is four months. He didn't return to the court until just before Christmas.

Then from January to March, his body was very competitive and he was not injured again.

But his main position has been lost in the previous four months of serious injuries.

Originally the absolute main force on the left, he became a substitute. The Brazilian Ronaldinho became the main left winger.

So now he cherishes every opportunity to play. He hopes to regain the main position with his own efforts.

This quarter-final of the Champions League will be the best opportunity.

""In the important game against Milan, Ronaldinho was not able to play, and he will start instead of him!

If I perform well and help the team beat Milan in the away game...can I regain the main starting position?

But now there is some muscle pain, which may ruin his bright future.

If he goes to the head coach... then he's finished.

He knows who Chang Sheng is, and he will never let himself take risks. Although this is love for himself, Vicente does not need love now.

He needs a chance to play.

It's just muscle soreness...

Maybe it's because you've used too much force during training, just take more rest.

Vicente returned home with these thoughts in mind. Did nothing and had a good night's rest.

When he woke up the next day. You can exert your strength.

Found no discomfort.

He was relieved.

※※※

There are only two days left before the quarter-finals of the Champions League. On this day, the entire Valencia team has to fly to Milan, Italy after training.

Stay at the hotel there, and then have another day of training to adapt to the field, and then the competition will start.

Today's training is not very intense, mainly focusing on recovery.

But Vicente still felt uncomfortable in training this time.

He frowned and used his hands to flesh out the muscles of his left thigh from time to time.

This scene did not escape the eyes of Rudy Gonzalez.

He said to Chang Sheng: "There is something wrong with Vicente."

Chang Sheng looked over. After observing for a few minutes, I agreed with Rudy Gonzalez.

Vicente was a little bit wrong.

"Suspend training, call him over and ask." He gave a big order.

So Rudy Gonzalez blew the whistle for the suspension of training, and then he hooked Vicente: "Vicente! Come!"

Vicente hesitated when he saw this movement.

It seems... to be seen.

But he can't just stand there. So he walked over step by step and stood in front of Chang Sheng and Rudy Gonzalez.

"What's the matter, coach?" he asked in as normal a voice as possible.

"What happened to your left leg?" Chang Sheng asked bluntly.

When Vicente heard him ask, his heart tightened.

still found...

He wanted to lie in front of Chang Sheng, but when he thought about the consequences of lying, he retreated.

Eventually Vicente told the truth.

After listening to Vicente's explanation, Chang Sheng frowned.

"Sore muscles?" he asked.

Vicente nodded, but immediately followed up with the explanation: "I think I should be a little tired, just take a rest. I am more concerned because, uh... I have been injured before. But I think it may not be a problem, because I have been injured before. An ankle injury has nothing to do with this part..."

Chang Sheng interrupted him: "What you say doesn't count, Vicente. But what we say doesn't count. So let's find someone who has the final say, a professional..."

Speaking of this, he thought of Guinel.

Guinelle is now the head of Valencia's team doctor. In terms of expertise, he is the most professional.

But he's from Sorel...

This idea emerged in Chang Sheng's mind.

Is this person's ability and character worthy of trust?
