Chapter 193: Back to the Top (53/136)

"Aha!" Seeing Chang Sheng's action, the commentator Morn laughed. After a season of commentary, he already knows the temper of Chang Sheng.

"That's always winning! It's his style! Not only does he want to win your ball, he wants to stimulate you! If you have a grudge against him, then you are unlucky, you will definitely be by him if you are targeted by him! This is him, a man who is definitely not above board...... But he never tried to hide this about himself. Even if he is a villain, he is a real villain......"

When there were huge boos and scolding at the Calderón stadium, Chang Sheng did not change himself, he continued to provoke the Atletico Madrid fans, standing proudly in front of the coach's box.

He was like Don Quixote who challenged the windmills. But here's the problem...... He did it!

Two seasons ago, it was he who buried Atletico Madrid's hopes for promotion.

Now he has led his team to the lead of Atletico Madrid in the competition.

Two seasons ago, it was thought that he was going to challenge Atletico Madrid for the idea of being idiotic, but now no one thinks it's incredible.

Since Getafe can beat Atletico Madrid twice, it shouldn't be a big deal for Valencia to win Atletico Madrid on the road......

※※※

Atletico Madrid's head coach Aragonés has studied Valencia's tactics. But the more he studied, the more obsessed he became.

When he took Mallorca, he played against Chang Sheng in the Copa del Rey final. At that time, the team that won the game was still promoted to Makhtafe.

At that time, Getafe was playing tactics similar to Mad Dog, but at that time it looked rough and the players did not understand it deeply, and it was more of a resemblance than a win.

After all, it only took a week.

But even so, Getafe still used such an immature tactic to defeat Mallorca and lift the Copa del Rey.

At that time, this set of tactics was only a prototype and not very mature.

Now, Valencia's mad dog tactics are well established, they play dizzying football, every player is running, non-stop. Then the football was in this non-stop running, so that the opponent had no idea what to do but follow the rhythm of Valencia.

The heart of Valencia's midfield last season was Pep Guardiola.

Pep Guardiola was injured this season, and it was thought that Valencia's mad dog tactics would be dealt a heavy blow. Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng poached Deco from Porto, the little-known Brazilian midfielder on the European continent, who could perfectly replace Pep Guardiola's role in the team. As a result, Valencia's mad dog tactics were not negatively affected in the slightest.

It's not the first time Aragonés has admired Chang Wan so much. The last time the two sides met in the Copa del Rey, although they were rivals, Aragonés admired the young man who won very much.

This time the two men met again, and Aragonés studied Valencia's tactics and became more and more obsessed with it.

Valencia's tactics seemed to open a window to a new world for him......

This window allowed him to see a completely different world.

Although he is an opponent, he has to be amazed by the wisdom of a winning genius.

Although this is a bit anachronistic, and the perennial victory and Atletico Madrid are mortal enemies.

So Aragonés could only bury his appreciation for Chang Sheng in his heart.

The more I researched, the more I realized that it would be difficult to win with Atletico Madrid's current strength......

It wasn't easy for him to keep the team going for 40 minutes.

※※※

For the Atletico Madrid players, they were very unconvinced when they didn't play Valencia. It is not good to think that Valencia is not good, they are at home, they have the advantage, and they are still desperate for revenge, and they are in a fighting spirit. With so many favorable conditions, how could it be possible to lose to Valencia?

But when they actually started playing Valencia, they realized that it was not so simple.

They thought that Valencia football was nothing more than passing the ball and passing the ball again.

But when they were on the pitch, when they were actually faced with Valencia's "pass and pass and pass" tactics, they felt helpless and didn't know what to do.

Because they can't get the ball at all.

No matter how hard they tried and how desperate they were, they couldn't get the ball.

Valencia's pass was like flowing water, easily bypassing Atletico Madrid's defence.

This was the first time they had competed with this kind of tactic, and they realized that it had nothing to do with fighting spirit and hard work......

Before Valencia scored the first goal, it was a succession of eight passes from the back to the front, which did not allow the Atletico Madrid players to grab the ball once.

Then Baraja cut in and blasted into the Atletico Madrid goal.

In the face of such a goal, even if Atletico Madrid has more fighting spirit and hard work, what is the use?

※※※

The first half ended with such a scoreline. There were no substitutions for either side in the second half.

Valencia continued to use Mad Dog tactics to maneuver with Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, continues to have little to offer.

They shrank defensively and counter-attacked quickly, hoping for Torres' pace and individual ability.

But Torres was completely frozen by Carvalho in this game.

No matter what, it can't be overcome.

In the TV footage, Torres is often seen with a look of helplessness or annoyance, because Carvalho uses experience and awareness to get stuck in Torres' course.

The young and energetic Torres finally tackled Carvalho from behind, received a red card for himself, and went straight off.

It was the second time he has been sent off this season.

It fully shows that young people are hot......

※※※

Chang Sheng was also unhappy with Torres' move, even though the opponent had already been sent off.

His concern now is whether Carvalho will get hurt.

Fortunately, Carvalho was fine, got up and received simple treatment, and then returned to the court to continue playing.

In the 75th minute, Valencia's Ibrahimovic scored a goal to set the score at 2:0 and seal the win.

In the end, Valencia beat Atletico Madrid 2-0 away.

They won with ease, turning Atletico Madrid's revenge plan into a joke.

After the game, Hill Sr. refused to be interviewed, and Hill Jr. scolded reporters for blocking it.

He could only say: "I don't want to discuss the topic of that Chinese!" ”

He didn't want to discuss, but Chang Sheng wanted to.

"In the second half of the season, we are at the Mestalla and welcome Atletico Madrid to revenge. Ha! At the post-match press conference, Chang Shengxiao was very happy and cheap...... "I will always wait for Atletico Madrid to get revenge." But don't take revenge the more, the greater the revenge......"

In this way, the beam between Changsheng and Atletico Madrid is even bigger.

But Chang Sheng doesn't care, and those who believe in Atletico Madrid don't care.

For them, they will gradually get used to it.

※※※

After beating Atletico Madrid, there is a good thing for Valencia, and that is that they have jumped directly to the first place in the league from the previous fourth place!

One game alone moved Valencia up three places in the rankings. This shows how fierce the competition is at the top of the standings.

None of the top three is even a traditional giant.

Valencia 14 points first. Real Sociedad also have 14 points, but their goal difference is less than Valencia's, so they can only finish second in the league.

Third in the league is Málaga with 12 points.

Next up are Celta with 11 points, and Real Madrid with 11 points.

As for Barcelona, they have fallen outside the eighth, they are ninth with only eight points.

In the sixth round, Real Sociedad drawn, Real Madrid lost, Celta lost and Malaga drawn.

Valencia was finally able to return to the top of the league.

It is equivalent to stepping on the corpse of Atletico Madrid.

This made Atletico Madrid fans even more unhappy.

But if it's not good, it can't be helped, who can let them lose on their home turf?

They could have stretched Valencia into the quagmire and pulled it again, but instead they were trampled on their own shore.

Atletico Madrid has to be more aggrieved, how aggrieved, how unhappy and unhappy.

※※※

After the match against Atletico Madrid, it was the midweek game against Basel.

Despite only playing one game against Atletico Madrid at the weekend, Chang Sheng sent all his main players away to Basel.

In this regard, Chang Sheng's explanation is: "It didn't take much effort to play Atletico Madrid, the players are in good shape and physical condition, so there is no need to rotate and rest. ”

This sentence made Atletico Madrid's side half angry.

In the end, Valencia drew 2:2 with Basel and won three and drew one in the four rounds of the group stage, accumulating 10 points, scoring 14 goals and conceding 2 goals.

Basel, on the other hand, was drawn by Liverpool at home, with only five points from four league games and ranked third in the group, with two league games remaining, it is basically early.

Although technically, Basel could still turn the tables - as long as they win the last two rounds of the group stage and Valencia lose.

That means 11 points for Basel and 10 points for Valencia.

Meanwhile, if Valencia lose both of their last two rounds, there is a match against Liverpool. It means that they lost to Liverpool, so they have ten points to accumulate momentum. In the last round, they lost to Basel, also by 10 points, and they were level on points with Valencia.

In this case, let's compare the win-loss relationship between Liverpool and Valencia, with both Valencia and Liverpool winning and losing one. Then compare the goal difference between the two sides when they play each other.

That's not easy to say. Valencia's home win against Liverpool was 2:0, which is not a big difference.

As long as Liverpool can beat Valencia 3-0 at home, they will finish second in the group by one goal difference.

So theoretically, Valencia still has a situation where they can't qualify from the group with ten points.

However, this probability is too low.

It would only be possible for Valencia to lose two games in a row and Basel to win two games in a row, and Liverpool would have to beat Valencia by at least three goals at home.

Of these three things, the probability of any of them happening alone is low enough. Not to mention the three things that come together......

In short, even if Valencia announced their early upgrade now, no one would say anything.

However, Chang Sheng was cautious after the game: "Theoretically, we still have the possibility of being out. So we're going to give it our all and keep going until the last game. Now is not the time to celebrate. ”

Liverpool's Echo lamented for Basel after hearing this say: "Such a calm Changsheng makes people feel hopeless...... Basel has lost even the last bit of hope, the theoretical possibility of qualifying......"
