Chapter 1051 - Dominating La Liga?

Chinatown's first match of 2014 took place at Real Sociedad's Anoeta Stadium.

Throughout the first half, Real Sociedad played quite well, defending very solidly, and Igor Martinez showed his quality against his former club, not losing to the opposing Varane and Godin.

This, combined with goalkeeper Bravo's excellent performance, made it possible for China City to keep possession of the ball but never found the back of the net until first-half stoppage time.

Seeing that the game was about to end, Chinatown launched its last attack, attacked the front, knocked back to the edge of the penalty area, Ilia Ramendi suddenly intervened, and directly shot angrily, penetrating Bravo's goal, opening the scoring for Chinatown.

The Spaniard, who came through the Real Sociedad academy, also performed very well against his former club.

After the rematch in the second half, Chinatown continued to maintain the momentum of the first half.

In the 66th minute, another player from Real Sociedad's academy, Antoine Griezmann, also proved his quality in front of his old club with a goal.

After taking a two-goal lead, Real Sociedad's defense began to loosen, and although there were successive substitutions, they still failed to steady.

Two goals from Raphael Varane and Alvaro Morata helped Chinatown walk away from home in a 4-0 victory.

Such a victory shocked the entire La Liga league.

However, in this round of matches, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Real Madrid are also completely victorious opponents, and continue to maintain the pressure on Chinatown.

Three days later, the Copa del Rey round of 16 knockout round.

Chinatown made a big rotation and challenged Valencia away, and the two sides ended up in a 1-1 draw.

Midfielder Paul Pogba scored in the 72nd minute, but Postiga equalised in stoppage time.

Back in La Liga, ushered in the nineteenth round.

Once again, the Chinatown was scheduled for midday against Almeria, and the match was played a little earlier than the other teams.

As a result, at the Block Stadium, Eden Hazard set up Isco's goal just six minutes into the game.

In the 11th minute, Antoine Griezmann assisted Verratti for another goal.

In the 30th minute, it was Griezmann who took advantage of the opportunity of the corner kick to assist Varane to score the third goal.

Although Almeria pulled a goal back, in the second half, Eden Hazard scored first, and then Roberto Firmino scored a brace to help China City beat Almeria 6-1 at home.

It was a hearty win, whether it was the scoreline, the process on the field, or the statistics in the game.

But what surprised China Town even more was that on the night of this game, Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 at home to Barcelona, and after 90 minutes of hard fighting, neither of them could score.

It was this draw that left Atletico Madrid and Barcelona both defeated, widening the gap between them and China City to four points, while Zinedine Zidane's side have lost just one game this season.

Interestingly, this one happened to be a loss to Atletico Madrid.

On January 15, the second leg of the Copa del Rey was played.

After 90 minutes of hard fighting, China City finally beat Valencia 2-0 thanks to goals from Paul Pogba and Godin.

After two legs, the aggregate score was 3-1, and Chinatown successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

And this time, Chinatown had good luck and drew against Racing Santander, who were relegated in consecutive relegations.

On January 18, the twentieth round of La Liga.

Barcelona drew 1-1 away at Levante and Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 at home to Sevilla.

However, Chinatown beat Valladolid 4-2 at home to further extend the lead to as much as six points.

Real Madrid also won 5-0 away and continued to chase Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Chinatown's performance after the winter break shocked everyone.

But what is even more surprising is that the strong dominance and consistency of this team in La Liga has been consistent after Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have been exposed to problems in succession.

Could it be that Chinatown will dominate La Liga this season?

The situation also seems to confirm the speculation of the media.

After playing the 20th round of La Liga, Chinatown ushered in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey.

Facing the low-level Racing Santander over two legs, China City defeated Racing Santander 3-1 and 3-0 away respectively, with an aggregate score of 6-1.

Zidane still bloodied the opponent in the case of dispatching a substitute lineup, and Chinatown's performance was quite eye-catching.

What's even more rare is that in the middle of the two games, in the 21st round of La Liga, China City defeated Osasuna 5-1 away.

The entire La Liga league is exclaiming, Chinatown is unstoppable.

In particular, Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini, who bore the brunt of the attack, said in an interview with the media before challenging China City away in the 22nd round that China City is already one of the strongest teams in La Liga.

From his words, it is not difficult to see that his admiration for Chinatown puts Real Madrid in a relatively weak position.

But in the game, after an hour of hard-fought battle, teenager Jesus scored a goal for Chinatown, Firmino added eight minutes later, and in the 75th minute, Diego Costa's red card made Real Madrid desperate.

In the end, Chinatown defeated Real Madrid 2-0 to claim another victory.

In this round, Barcelona lost 2-3 at home to Valencia, and Atletico Madrid won 4-0 at home.

At this point, the competition pattern of La Liga has become a battle between Chinatown and Atletico Madrid, and the points gap between the two teams remains at six points.

On 5 February, the Copa del Rey semi-finals were a wonderful conversation.

Chinatown beat Barcelona 2-0 at home, while Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 1-0 at home.

These two victories are also seen as a sign of a reshuffling of the power landscape in La Liga.

However, after returning to La Liga and ushering in the 23rd round, Chinatown finally stopped its winning streak and was forced to draw 0-0 away by Celta Vigo.

Luis Enrique played a reinforced concrete style similar to Serie A in this pizza game, but he did not allow Chinatown to take advantage of the slightest advantage, and the two sides were forced to draw 0-0.

Coincidentally, the other team that won the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, Atletico Madrid, was also deflated in this round, and was upset by Almeria 0-2 away.

On the contrary, the two teams that lost in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey were Barcelona 4-1 away to Sevilla and Real Madrid 4-2 at home to Villarreal.

This has to do with the focus of the two big teams, after all, they are more focused on the performance of the league.

So three days later, Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 away at Real Madrid, while China Town drew 1-1 away at Barcelona, and both teams joined hands to reach the Copa del Rey final.

It was also the first time in its history that Chinatown reached the final of the Copa del Rey.

But just when the joy of reaching the final had not completely subsided, Chinatown lost 1-2 at home to Espanyol.

Sergio Garcia opened the scoring for Espanyol after just six minutes before Chinatown equalised, but Simao's corner gave Espanyol an away win over Chinatown.

It was also Chinatown's second defeat of the season, along with one draw and one defeat in the last two rounds.

At the end of 24 rounds, Chinatown's lead has been reduced to four points, with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid all 60 points, while Real Madrid is fourth with 56 points.

From the previous momentum to two consecutive rounds of winlessness, Chinatown has suffered its first crisis after the winter break.

On the other hand, Barcelona have been very impressive in two consecutive rounds, first with a 4-1 away win at Sevilla and then a 6-0 home thrashing of Rayo Vallecano, Martino's side showed a very heroic momentum.

This is also very worrying, knowing when the leader of Chinatown will be pulled down by Barcelona.

Not to mention the media reporters and fans outside, let's just say that inside Chinatown, there is also a fluctuation of people's hearts.

In this case, Gao Han first gathered the likes of Cantarero, Zinedine Zidane and Sergio Garcia to study the problems the team is currently facing, and then he gave a rare public interview to the Marca journalist.

In the interview, Gao Han affirmed the team's current achievements.

"There is no doubt that we have achieved the best results in our history under Zinedine Zidane this season, and after 24 rounds, we are still at the top of La Liga, losing two games and drawing one, which is absolutely impeccable. ”

'Of course, no team is perfect, as the youngest team in La Liga, we have some problems after many rounds of games, especially in the past in the league and the Copa del Rey on both fronts, we have been under a lot of pressure, but I have a lot of confidence in the manager and the players. ”

'I'm very aware that it's normal for this to happen, there are always peaks and lows in the team's form, and it's not a big deal to not win two games, not only us, but other teams will have these kinds of problems sooner or later. ”

"Either way, I firmly believe that after the adjustments, under the leadership of coach Zinedine Zidane, the team will soon recover. ”

Gao Han came forward at this time and played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army.

Who is he?

Alpine!

The most successful and greatest manager in Europe's history, he said so, can he be wrong?

Zidane was also quick to cooperate with Gao Han, and at the pre-match press conference, he confidently said that the team will continue to stick to its rhythm and plan, and continue to insist on going hand in hand on multiple fronts.

After more than half a year of experience, Zidane has obviously become more confident and even more domineering.

In addition to Gao Han and Zida Nei, a number of core players, including captain De Gea, also came forward to show their attitude, firmly believing that the team can quickly adjust and get out of adversity.

Sure enough, the twenty-fifth round of La Liga.

Real Madrid beat Elche 3-0 at home, but Barcelona suffered a 3-1 defeat at Real Sociedad, and Atletico Madrid suffered even worse, losing 3-0 away to Osasuna.

The defensive weaknesses of the Sheets were exposed, and Simeone was unhappy with the team's performance.

Chinatown, on the other hand, reversed the slump of the past two rounds by beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 away.

At the end of this round, Chinatown's lead was once again extended to seven points.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, quickly narrowed the gap with Barcelona and Atletico Madrid to one point with this victory.

The competition in La Liga has become fierce again.

Will Chinatown continue to lead the way, or will the traditional three giants stage a counterattack again?

At this time, the news of the selection team in China also reached Gao Han.

The new head coach of the Chinese national team has finally been born.
