When the media of Catalo Gaya saw that Barcelona's opponent was Zaragoza, and Valencia was drawn from the Spanish Second Division, the psychology was completely unbalanced, and they openly questioned the fairness of the Spanish Football Federation!

Because of the characteristics of the Catalan Autonomous Region, the Spanish Football Federation has made similar measures against Barcelona, and the draw for the 1/4 finals of the Copa del Rey has naturally been questioned.

Why has Barcelona been meeting La Liga teams since the 1/8 finals of the Copa del Rey, while Valencia was able to draw Valladolid, the last team in La Liga, in the 1/4 finals?

Why?

As a result, both World Sports and Daily Sports raised their own questions on the same day.

'Why are we going to be so strong in the game before our showdown with Valencia? Why are Valencia's opponents so weak? To know how low is the probability of back-to-back La Liga teams in the Copa del Rey? Here, we really have reason to suspect that the Spanish Football Federation made some adjustments during the draw and deliberately made things difficult for us......"

At this time, Barcelona, as the representative of Catalonia, naturally can't speak out, and if they openly support the media to bombard the Football Association, it will be them Barcelona who will suffer at that time.

At that time, the most punishment of the media will be to be warned, who makes Spain a country that supports freedom of speech and freedom of the press?

But it is impossible not to make a public statement, because "World Sport" and "Daily Sport" are both trying to help Barcelona get ahead, so ......

However, it is still necessary to be skillful when speaking, and the president of Barcelona, Joan Laporta, in an interview with the reporter of "World Sport", talked about his views on the next game of Barcelona.

"For competitive sports, luck ...... It's often a force to be reckoned with, you can never see or touch it, but sometimes you need it, just like in a football game, sometimes you are lucky and you can score with one shot, and the unlucky team will have the possibility of not scoring with 20 shots in a row, that's luck! But...... Valencia's luck is too good this time, right? ”

If it weren't for the fact that this season's La Liga schedule had been scheduled long before the start of the season, it is estimated that the Catalan media would have taken out the schedule to talk about it!

The speed of news circulation in this era is very fast!

It's surprisingly fast.

The words of Barcelona President Joan Laporta, who had just finished an interview with reporters in the morning, were flooded with major Spanish online newspapers and forums in the afternoon.

Immediately, Barcelona fans in Catalonia collectively questioned the Spanish Football Federation.

Valencia, as a 'beneficiary', has also been affected.

Because while the Catalan media drew stronger opponents in Barcelona in a row, Valencia drew a weak team from La Liga.

At this time, Valladolid's coach López stood up and brushed the deposit, and in an interview with local media, he said: "Although we are a team in La Liga, we are not a weak team!" See who we faced in the Copa del Rey quarter-finals? It is Villarreal, who beat Manchester United and ranked first in Group D in the group stage of the Champions League this season! We're going to beat them home and away!! Although our opponent is the current leader of La Liga, it does not mean that we do not have a chance, even if we know that the odds of winning are not high, we have to give it a try, we have to make a name for ourselves!! ”

The Valladolid manager's words immediately resonated with the team's players, and at the same time, under the media in Catalonia, they finally succeeded in targeting Valencia.

And Valencia can be regarded as lying down and getting shot!

Who asked the Spanish Football Federation to take care of Valencia at this time and not their team, Barcelona?

******

However, in response to the comments from the outside world, all the players of Valencia showed their high-minded side, ignoring the reports and public opinion of the outside world.

Because Valencia is terrible this season, the league is at the top of the table, the Copa del Rey has also entered the quarterfinals, and the opponent drawn is still the only remaining La Liga team, and it is only a matter of time before it advances to the semi-finals, and the championship ...... It is also one of the honors that can be fought for!

In the Champions League, it has also entered the round of 16, although the opponent in the 1/8 finals is the Red Devils Manchester United, but it is not without a hard work!

However, there are still many crucial games to play before this Champions League 1/8 final.

So, once again, the attention should be returned to the domestic competition.

Three days later, it was the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

At the same time, this day was a relatively extraordinary day for Iro.

Of course, this day is extraordinary for hundreds of millions of Chinese.

Because this day is the traditional Chinese New Year.

Ailo remembers that on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, Valencia met Villarreal, and the new year's Spring Festival was at home to Valladolid in the Copa del Rey match.

Therefore, in the two days before the start of the Copa del Rey, the number of Chinese journalists at the gates of the Valencia training base began to increase significantly.

They were all going to interview Ailo for the first time after finishing their training in Valencia.

In the new year, I believe that fans across the country will be happy to be blessed by young players like Iroh who have won glory for their country abroad.

Facing a group of reporters who seemed to see little sheep, Ailo said more cooperatively, "Here, I wish fans and friends across the country good health and all their wishes come true in the new year!" ”

Speaking of the back, Iroh added, "In the new year, I hope you will continue to follow me and Valencia!" ”

Immediately, there was a burst of laughter.

As the clock ticked, Valencia also hosted their opponents in the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey at home.

In this game, Valladolid, who are playing away, showed their strong side, although they faced Valencia, who are currently at the top of La Liga, but in the first ten minutes of the opening game, they played a difficult game with Valencia.

There were also two direct threats to the goal of Canizares' handle, and if it hadn't been quick enough to react at the time, it is estimated that Valladolid would be leading now!

The other Copa del Rey quarter-up match at the same time was not much better, with Barcelona and Zaragoza at the height of their battle, and both sides played sparks at one point.

Zaragoza know it will be difficult to finish in the top eight of the league this season and qualify for European competitions, so they will have to find another way to qualify for next season's Europa League.

Therefore...... This season's Copa del Rey is their goal!

The winner of the Copa del Rey has a place in the round of 32 of the UEFA Cup!

So in this game at Camp Nou, Zaragoza are ready to fight hard!

The camera turns back to the Mestalla Stadium.

Valencia have gradually regained their form of the game, and Airo's breakthrough on the left flank has always been a key focus for Valladolid, so it seems a bit favoritism.

The team's rhythm is under Albelda's control, which makes Valladolid, who are in La Liga, very uncomfortable, being frequently transferred and consuming physical energy.

The pre-game feats of rhetoric are more like a slap in the face at this time, spending their bodies in endless running.

The gap between the two sides was slowly revealed, and before half-time, Iroh set up Vicente for a goal.

In the second half, Valencia continued their pass-and-control style, first using the breaking ability of Ailo and Vicente on the flanks, and then using the guò midfield to swing the Valladolid defenders from side to side.

As a result, Valladolid's players suffered cramps in the 70th minute.

In fact, not only Valencia has the task of La Liga at the weekend, but Valladolid, which is playing away, also has the task of the league, and the fierce process of La Liga is not inferior to the current competition for La Liga!

So it's normal for them to have cramps at this time.

In the end, Valencia beat Valladolid by three goals at home to set the stage for the second leg.

Barcelona, who are also playing at home, did not have such good luck, they actually lost to Zaragoza by one goal at home!

broke out the number one upset of the Copa del Rey!!

******

Barcelona's home defeat to Zaragoza was something that no one expected, especially Le Monde Sport, which had deliberately created public opinion to arouse Valladolid's hatred of Valencia.

What they didn't expect was that instead of letting Valencia lose at home, Barcelona lost to Zaragoza in a shock at home!

This result is something that neither the media nor the fans of Catalonia could have imagined.

Isn't this just stealing chickens and rice?

As a result, Barcelona's 16-game winning streak in all competitions came to an end.

After the first leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals, Valencia flew non-stop to Deportivo La Coruna, where they will start the 22nd round of the competition.

Barcelona will face another La Liga team from Madrid - Atletico Madrid in this round of matches.

It is worth mentioning that after the Copa del Rey in midweek, the media in Madrid began to support Atletico Madrid, and at the same time kept helping them analyze Barcelona's weaknesses and strengths.

Among them, the "Tactical Analysis" column of "Marca" mentioned Barcelona's current problems, "If you look at the just-concluded Copa del Rey quarterfinals, Barcelona is not invulnerable, they also have weaknesses, and the rib gaps in the midfield defense backfield are very obvious, because their two fullbacks are assist-type, and the speed of defense is not particularly fast, so it is easy to be used by teams that are good at playing defensive counterattacks......"

“…… Atletico Madrid's most skillful use this season happens to be defensive counter-attacks, the young captain Torres's speed and skill are unquestionable, he has proven his ability in recent years, plus the Argentine Maxi Rodriguez introduced this season, is also a good defender on the counter-attack, if you count Serbian and Montenegro striker Kezman, the threat will be even greater......"

"Besides, Barcelona have to juggle the Copa del Rey quarter-finals next week and Valencia in the 23rd round next weekend, and it will be a question of whether their players will be able to watch this game as well......

Originally, Atletico Madrid's head coach Bianchi did not include this game in the number of games that the team must score points for, but after seeing the analysis of "Marca", he suddenly woke up to the fact that this game may not be unwinnable!

As a result, Atletico Madrid began a two-day closed training session before leaving for Catalonia.

ps: Don't waste it if you don't pay the recommendation ticket.
