Compared to Barcelona's disadvantage, Valencia looks much better.

With three goals already scored at home to Valladolid, there is little pressure on them in the quarter-finals of the second leg of the Copa del Rey so they can focus more on this weekend's league challenge against Deportivo La Coruna.

At the same time, you can also focus on the focus of the home game against Barcelona next week!

Not to mention the result of this round of the league, as long as they win Barcelona in the next round of home games, then they will further widen the gap with Barcelona.

It's a game that equates to six points.

Therefore, in this round of the game against Deportivo La Coruna, Valencia still has to preserve its strength.

Because it is not ruled out that Barcelona will send 'scouts' to scout the enemy in this game.

As early as two days ago, Flores and his assistant Paul divided the work, he was responsible for the team's daily training, and assistant coach Paul went to Barcelona to scout the enemy.

Let's take a look at their form for Valencia hosting Barcelona in the next round.

As the saying goes, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

This phrase is also appropriate for football matches.

So it is not ruled out that Rijkaard will use the same method as Flores.

Therefore, in order to play against Deportivo La Coruna at the weekend, there will be some 'restraint in attack. ’

In particular, the attacking routines practiced in preparation for the match against Barcelona must not be used before the match against Barcelona, otherwise...... It is bound to attract the attention of some people in the stands.

Once they pay attention to it in advance, the offensive effect will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Pay for one's whistle!

But it's also a game that can't be lost because the league is a long season, but sometimes a game can be a big deal.

So, Flores was embarrassed......

******

On this day, the first matches to be played are Real Madrid's home match against Espanyol, and then Deportivo La Coruna's home match against Valencia.

The match at the Riazor Stadium was packed, with almost the entire stadium surrounded by blue and white striped shirts, and although there were only nearly 30,000 home fans, the sound was no less than that of stadiums like the Bernabeu and Camp Nou.

At least that's what Iroh thinks.

It was also the first match of his career at the Stadio Riazol, and he now has a taste of the mentality of AC Milan in the 03-04 season.

Where is this stadium? It's hell!

That's right! This stadium is one hell.

From the first minute of the game, the Riazor Stadium sent out a thrilling boo that made the visiting players feel like they could go straight through the soul of the whole person.

A tremor from the soul!

Even Albelda and Baraja, who have played in La Liga for many years, were a little out of shape in the period after the start of the game, but fortunately, the Deportivo La Coruna attacking lineup led by Belleron did not pose a threat to the door guarded by Canizares, otherwise it would have been ...... This game is hanging!

Ailo looked at Belleron, who was dribbling the ball to find a gap in Valencia's defense, and his heart was filled with admiration.

Bellerón contributed all his youth and passion to A Coruña, to which he dedicated, starting with his transfer in 2000, until his retirement.

What made Airo feel the most incredible was that the president of Deportivo La Coruna, who was in financial crisis at the time, once offered Belleron a salary increase, but he didn't expect Belleron to refuse directly at that time, and only dropped a celebrity sentence: Money, I have enough!

In this game, Belleron worked very hard, but after all, one person cannot replace the whole team, at most it can only be used as a representative, and the strength of the two teams began to be reflected after half an hour of the game.

Valencia, who played with a back three in midfield, did a great job at both the offensive and defensive ends, much better than Deportivo relied on Belleron's individual play.

Somewhere around the Riazor Stadium.

Rijkaard was dressed very modestly, wearing a pair of big sunglasses and a thick scarf that almost covered his entire face.

Looking at the two warring sides on the court, he fell into his own thoughts.

Is this team really Valencia? Rijkaard shook his head.

Needless to say, Valencia is sure to retain their strength and not expose all their offensive strength, it seems that ...... They are determined to win the next round!

In fact, it is no wonder that Valencia retains their strength, after all, the next game is a game worth six points, and this one is just an ordinary league, and the difference between winning and losing is not very big.

As the game progressed, Rijkaard had come to the conclusion that it was only a matter of time before Valencia would win this game, anyway...... The victory he expected for Deportivo Valencia was largely unlikely!

At this moment, the director of the Riazor Stadium suddenly seemed to become a fiery eye, and at a dead ball opportunity, the camera cut to the area where Rijkaard was located, and also aimed at his whole person, and then used technical means to close the distance, so that the fans watching the TV broadcast could see it clearly!

It is worth mentioning that when the game was in the heat of the game, Hyde, who was in the studio, also joked, "I didn't expect the next round of the game to make Rijkaard pay so much attention, and he actually left the whole team and ran to distant Galicia to watch this game, haha......"

The subsequent game completely entered the rhythm of Valencia, but did not score, because after the game entered the rhythm of Valencia, Belleron was very experienced in slowing down the pace of the game, and at the same time let the team slowly gather the formation back, so that Valencia did not have the opportunity to play behind the ball.

After all, the speed of the two fast horses, Iroh and Vicente, is not to be seen!

After a year of playing in La Liga, Iello has become one of the fastest footballers in the world in the number of games given by EA in early 2006.

The world's martial arts, only fast and unbreakable, there is still a certain truth.

Compared with the youth of Valencia's attacking line, the age of Deportivo La Coruna's backline at home seems a bit old, and many times it can't keep up with the rhythm of Ailo's acceleration and stopping.

Just before half-time, Iello took advantage of a personal break into the box to set up David Villa's goal.

And this goal became the only goal of the game.

Valencia were well suited to pick up the three points in the league game ahead of the game against Barcelona.

So, they managed to put the pressure on Barcelona who hosted Atletico Madrid the next day.

******

The next day, the news, led by the newspaper Marca, began in Madrid and surrounded the whole of Spain.

Among them, Marca newspaper mentioned a very important issue above: Rijkaard 'abandoned' the team and watched Deportivo La Coruna vs Valencia!

And there are diagrams with evidence.

The picture in the footage of the Riazor Stadium is very clear, with hair curled like a bird's nest, dark skin, and the scarf that accompanied him all winter, all of which prove that the man who appeared in the newspaper is Rijkaard.

When the news of the newspaper Marca became hot, the players of Atletico Madrid, who were preparing for the match in Catalonia, expressed their dissatisfaction!

Because they feel that it is Barcelona disrespecting themselves!

Deportivo La Coruna in Galicia is a long way from Barcelona in Catalonia, and the coach of the team, Rijkaard, left his team the day before the match against Atletico Madrid and went to the Riazor Stadium alone to watch the game.

So when this news came out, it immediately caused the anger of the Atletico Madrid players.

The three armies are fighting, and the enemy's coach actually went to watch a third-party game, which is a big insult to Atletico Madrid!

At least...... That's what they think.

With the help of Marca newspaper, Valencia is once again a beneficiary. ’

At this time, Rijkaard was obviously unaware of his spectatorship and had become one of the hot topics of this matchday.

Interestingly, before this game, Atletico Madrid's young captain Torres also talked about the match that Rijkaard watched Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna before this game, "As the captain of the team, I personally think that Rijkaard's behavior is not appropriate, because we are the opponents they will face, not Valencia in a week!" So...... We'll do everything we can for tonight's game to show Barcelona that we at Atletico Madrid are also worthy opponents! ”

Subsequently, Barcelona's captain Puyol also talked about this issue in an interview, but his statement was more to excuse Rijkaard and divert hatred for Barcelona, "Before this game, Frank explained to us that Atletico Madrid is a very admirable opponent, more worthy of respect than another team in Madrid, but sometimes the game is like this, after all, the game against Valencia is worth six points, and it was won...... The gap narrowed, and the score difference widened after losing......"

At this time, the well-known Catalan newspaper "Le Monde Sport" showed its value at this time, and after Puyol completed his interview, it reached the ears of the Atletico Madrid players who were dining at the hotel.

When Puyol's phrase "more respectable than another team in Madrid" reached the ears of Atletico Madrid players, not to mention how comfortable it was!

With your toes you can think of a team that deserves more respect than the other team in Madrid!

Because Atletico Madrid has always been aiming to challenge the aristocratic team Real Madrid.

It's just that what Puyol didn't expect was that his words did not make Atletico Madrid's combat effectiveness decrease, but showed signs of getting higher and higher.

Before the game, Torres said to the team, "Since we are going to challenge Real Madrid, then ...... We have to beat Barcelona first in this game!! ”

In the impression of his teammates, Torres has always been an action player, not a player who is good at expressing himself, and even seems shy at times, so the words spoken at this time seem even more inspiring!
