The climate in Scotland is the same as in England, Valencia has been bathed in light rain since arriving in Scotland, and Vincent has also looked at the future weather forecast, at least there is no sign of stopping the rain before the game.

On the day of the game, as Fan Shang expected, it was rainy and rainy, and there was a lot of water on the field, although some were drained with a drainage system before the game, but Fan Shang believed that this kind of field was fatal to the team with technical flow, and after thinking about it, Fan Shang decided to use a new set of things to deal with Celtic, as long as he didn't concede two goals Valencia would advance, and today's goal was set here.

Vincent fielded a 532 defensive counter-attacking formation with five defenders Abidal, Ayala, Lucio, Marchena and Carboni, three midfielders, Baraja, Tovding and Van Bronckhorst, and forwards Chobo and Iliye.

In fact, Fan Shang wanted to use the combination of Joaquin and Vincent at first, but thinking about the glass attributes of the two people, Fan Shang felt that it was better not to use these two people in front of the hard stone of the Celts, so he replaced them with Qu Bo and Iliye.

Today, Fan Shang's purpose is very clear, which is to maintain the advantage he has established at home, and if he concedes a goal, he will win.

This kind of slippery field is actually not a good thing for counter-attacks, and some long balls can be blocked by the slippery field, allowing players to run back to find the ball.

This was the case at the beginning, the first attack after the Celtic kick-off was stopped by Tovding in the midfield, and then he made a long pass to Qu Bo, if it was normal, the ball would bounce to the ground and then rush into the penalty area, Qu Bo accelerated to the box and grabbed a half goal with the goalkeeper.

But now there was standing water on the field, and this long pass bounced outside the penalty area and it couldn't get up and stopped. Qu Bo, who had already started, could only brake the car, then turn back to find the ball, and then attack, but the Celtics had already returned to their positions, and he and Iliye were obviously impossible to pose any threat to the Celtic goal.

However, this routine is Valencia's offensive routine today, although it was not successful this time, but the routine will not change, but the midfielders need to re-grasp the passing strength.

Celtic didn't expect Vincent to go back to the old way today, turning a crazy attacking Valencia into a defensive counterattacking Valencia, they didn't put a lot of offensive players on the field, so although it seems that Celtic pressed Valencia most of the time, but Celtic's efficiency was really low and terrible, and they didn't shoot in the box for the first 15 minutes.

The embarrassment is here, the high ball is passed into the penalty area, Celtic's two strikers Larsson and Sutton are very defended, if you want to cooperate on the ground, Celtic really don't have that technology now, which has led to the tragic situation of Celtic playing around Valencia but not shooting.

However, Valencia is not much better in this game, the main thing is to blame the field, the long pass will stop on the ground if the power is small, and the ball will fly far away if the power is large, so that the two strikers are not easy to get.

In the first half, one of the two teams was not ready, the other was not suitable for the field, and the two teams fought to a 0:0 draw, and Vincent believed that the head coach of the Celtics, Martin O'Neal, would definitely strengthen the attack in the second half, and Vincent decided to further strengthen the defense.

At the beginning of the second half, both teams made substitutions, Celtic replaced a full-back with a high striker, and Vincent seemed to have a tacit understanding with Celtic, replacing Iliye with Pellegrino, so that Valencia did not suffer at all in the high point protection of the penalty area.

There is no way, this cancels each other out again, the field is still in mutual anxiety, and the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the counterattack that can't be fought in the first place is even more difficult with such a heavy rain. However, Celtic's offense is the same, their skills are not good, and the field is waterlogged, and now they don't dare to dribble the ball, and they start to drop the ball in the penalty area directly in the midfield.

How can this kind of ball be a threat if it is slow and floating, but the Celtics have no choice, they really have no way to go to the bottom, so they can only make this move.

In this way, there is nothing to say about the game, bad weather, coupled with the two sides clamping each other so much, the score at the end of the game is fixed at 0:0, and Valencia advances with an aggregate score of 2:0 over two legs.

The next round is against Swiss side Geneva, but this match will not be played until next year, and it is not the time for Vincent to think about it.

Now Fan Shang is thinking about the next round of league opponents, Mallorca.

Mallorca did quite well last year, beating Valencia to finish third in the league, but this year's third-tier play has exposed the poor nature of this small club.

Dealing with the league and the Champions League at the same time made them physically and mentally exhausted, and they did not get any benefits from both fronts, first the Champions League group stage was eliminated, and then the League Cup was eliminated and they have said goodbye to European competitions.

Mallorca have chosen to give up some leagues for the Champions League, resulting in them now sitting in the bottom three, and if they continue to be so muddy, last year's league runners-up may really go to La Liga next year.

Coincidentally, just as Mallorca was being eliminated from European competitions and preparing to turn the tide in the league, they happened to meet Valencia, the current league leader.

So this game is full of fire, last year's third-place strength is still there, Eto'o in the front, Luke, Ngonga in the midfield, Ibargasa, Nadal in the back line and other famous players have good strength.

To be honest, Fan Shang was also at fault in this game, he really underestimated Mallorca, so when the score was fixed at 2:2 at the end of the game, Fan Shang first did a self-examination in the locker room, thinking that this game was not the problem of the players, first of all, Fan Shang himself was a little underestimated.

Fortunately, I didn't lose, it was just a draw, but the bad thing turned into a good thing, and this draw made the players more focused on the next game.

Because the next game will be against Deportivo La Coruna, a team that has been struggling to catch up behind Valencia, last year's league runners-up, and they don't want another runner-up this year. And they are ready to show themselves on both fronts.

Deportivo La Coruna have been strong on all fronts this season, catching up with Valencia in the league. In the Champions League, it is also soaring, beating Manchester United in the round of 32 group stage, and beating Arsenal away in the group stage of 16, with this momentum, now Deportivo hopes to win Valencia at home, so that although they can not sit on the top spot in the league, but narrow the difference to 2 points is also good for further overtaking in the future.
