Chapter 1100: Defending the Spanish Super Cup
Barcelona's two-game winning streak in the league and the goal difference of the seven-goal slaughter of Levante in the first leg ranked first in La Liga in the 2013-2014 season, giving Barcelona manager Martino and his players a lot of hope.
You must know that in the past three seasons, Valencia has basically led the standings from the first round, and then has been dominant, and finally won the league championship in advance, and now Barcelona has some signs of counterattack, especially the Brazilian genius Neymar who has just joined Barcelona and the current offensive system created by Martino is seamless, and the cooperation with Messi is very tacit, making him more dominant than Chilean international Sanchez in the competition.
Even if he was slapped in the face in public in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, Neymar still did not accept his fate, he is young, passionate, and driven, these are all old players who can bring to Barcelona.
They are already ******** to losing to Valencia, as if only losing is normal.
You know, such a thing is fatal for professional football, because it degenerates competitive football into a coping soccer game.
If one day, the football game really becomes a coping game, it is really a kind of sadness of football, so with the addition of fresh blood, it will be of great help to the current Barcelona team.
Although Barcelona lost a 4:1 in the first leg at the Mestalla, they did not lose confidence in the second leg at the Camp Nou, not only did Neymar express the slogan of turning the tables, but even Messi, who has always spoken with action, also claimed in an interview with the media that Barcelona has a good chance to reverse Valencia at home and win the first title of the new season.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that some Valencia have relaxed their mentality after the big win over Barcelona in the first leg, so there is a little bit of slackness in training for the second leg of the Spanish Super Cup at Camp Nou.
As Italy's gold medal coach, coach Carlo Ancelotti can naturally see at a glance, but the players in the team are all big names now, and his personality is inherently unsuitable for the job of warning players.
But there is good news for Carlo Ancelotti, as Iroh and David Silva have been training very well and seem to be in good shape.
The course of the game was not much different from what Neymar and Messi said, Messi and Neymar gave Barcelona a two-goal lead over Valencia in the first half of the game, which means that Barcelona guaranteed to score another goal without conceding a goal in the future, so they could rely on the goal advantage on the road to win this season's Spanish Super Cup.
However, just when Messi and Neymar saw the dawn of victory, Valencia captain Arlo stepped up, first using the opportunity of a corner kick to force Pique and Busquets to put the ball into the corner of the goal, and then used the opportunity of a set-piece in front of the court to hit the ball directly into the goal at the beginning of the second half to tie the score.
Elo's sudden burst was something that no Barcelona player could have imagined, as they would have to score four more goals in the remaining time if they were to win this season's Spanish Super Cup, and that would have to be done without conceding a goal at the back......
This is undoubtedly difficult for Barcelona to reach now, especially when facing Valencia with Elo!
The team with Iroh means that it has a super ability to counterattack quickly, coupled with Ancelotti's strict arrangement for the team's rapid counterattack, the efficiency of the rapid counterattack is stronger than before, and it is undoubtedly a death search to increase the number of attacking troops in such a team that has always had a strong and rapid counterattack.
But the game has no choice for Barcelona, either die standing or live on its knees......
As a result, Barcelona deserved to die, and in the time they struggled, they were beaten by two powerful and quick counter-attacks from Valencia.
Iroh netted a hat-trick again, with striker Edinson Cavani netting the other goal.
With Iello scoring a hat-trick at the Camp Nou, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés re-surpassed Casillas to become the goalkeeper who conceded the most goals in Elo's career......

In fact, it was not a surprise to many people that Valencia defeated Barcelona to continue defending the Spanish Super Cup, after all, Valencia's past record against Barcelona was there, and they were unbeaten for three seasons!
And in Elo's days, Valencia was unbeaten in five and a half seasons against Barcelona!
After beating Barcelona 8-3 on aggregate over two legs to win the Spanish Super Cup, Valencia's preparations shifted to the 2013 Spanish Super Cup at the Eden Stadium in the Czech Republic at the end of August.
It is worth mentioning that this tournament is not held at the Stade Louis II in Monaco for the first time since 1998, which makes many fans a little uncomfortable.
Valencia's opponents are Chelsea, winners of the Europa League in 2012-2013.
Before the game even started, a lot of media coverage began to be reported because it was a match for Jose Mourinho, who had returned to Chelsea, against Valencia, who had Elo......
Jose Mourinho's three seasons at Real Madrid have been a failed three years for many fans.
Three whole years, without a single honor, and not a failure?
Yes, a failure!
Jose Mourinho has won at least two trophies a season since the start of his managerial career, but after moving to Real Madrid, he did not win any trophies for three seasons, so his choice to return to Chelsea was ridiculed by many unhappy media outlets, and his return to the Premier League was only to regain the familiar feeling of being a champion.
Of course, the return to the Blue Bridge is huge? It was the Stamford Bridge fans who felt better for him, like lovers, who were always supportive.
That's why Jose Mourinho's return to the Bridge was greeted by nearly 50,000 fans on the day he made his debut, filling the stadium to a full capacity.
Closer to home, Valencia and Chelsea's UEFA Super Cup has attracted media attention with Chelsea spending more than €100 million in the new season, while Valencia has made a profit in the summer transfer window, with net income of €20 million.
In today's football competition, where a lot of money must be invested, it is clear that Roman Abramovich's Chelsea are even more expected.
Before the start of the UEFA Super Cup, the first media focus was on the draw for the 2013-2014 UEFA Champions League group stage in Monaco, where they began to analyze the teams in four brackets.
What they are concerned about is whether there will be a so-called group of death in the group stage of this season's Champions League, and then it will be exciting......
