Chapter 240: The Mole

The reduction of Valencia's status is not the main thing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

At Christmas, there was a big event in Spanish football, and Atletico Madrid led a meeting of the president to discuss the issue of television rights, which would have invited the president of Valencia, but Llorente did not receive the invitation, and even when the Spanish media broke the news, he only knew that there was such a thing.

This is also the root cause of Valencia's isolation.

Now the other eighteen teams in La Liga are all led by Atletico Madrid, and Valencia did not participate in the televised sharing meeting, nor did they join the televised sharing contract, which is naturally equivalent to being excluded.

In the eyes of others, Valencia is in the same camp as Real Madrid and Barcelona.

This makes Llorente very unhappy!

If you really have a choice, Valencia also hopes to be in the same camp as Real Madrid and Barcelona, but this is not the case, Valencia is the 'third pole' team in La Liga, and their TV broadcast contract is the same as the previous signing by Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid Club organized other teams to sign contracts with Sky TV in the United Kingdom, leading other teams to share the benefits of the new TV rights, Real Madrid and Barcelona will suffer losses, but in fact, the two giants can fully withstand this loss, The impact is not as big as it could be, and since other teams don't participate in the PRO TV contract, the two giants may have some more benefits, such as in terms of advertising revenue, no one to compete with them.

Valencia is different!

Their contracts with Pro Broadcasting TV cannot be compared with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and they will suffer significant losses after the other teams leave.

To make up for this significant loss, Valencia will certainly have to sell their star players to cover the deficit, and their debt will certainly continue to rise.

Valencia not only suffered financially, but also became an isolated team in La Liga.

Llorente's resentment can be imagined.

His chance for revenge is coming soon, in the 22nd round of the league, Valencia will play against Atletico Madrid, although the game is played at the Calderón stadium, but Llorente still has only one request for manager Emery, "beat Atletico Madrid, end their unbeaten streak, and let them fall to second place in the league!" ”

Even if the sworn enemy Real Madrid is cheap, Llorente must take this bad breath!

――――

In fact, in the eyes of Atletico Madrid, Llorente is completely self-inflicted.

In recent years, Atletico Madrid and Valencia have been on the same front, they both belong to the 'third pole' of La Liga, and many times Atletico Madrid will also be led by Valencia.

But things are going to change.

After the acquisition of Atletico Madrid by Taiwan Investment Group, Wansheng entered the Calderón Stadium and led the team to Atletico Madrid to win the league championship, and the strength of the team also increased greatly, whether it is economic strength, team strength and real results, Atletico Madrid is stronger than Valencia, and the natural dominant club should be Atletico Madrid, and Valencia is no longer capable of dominating Atletico Madrid.

Perhaps Llorente is not yet comfortable with this shift.

When Atletico Madrid's president Cerezo and CEO Hill Jr. invited him to discuss the Spanish Football League election, Llorente actually asked Atletico Madrid to support Valencia's candidate Lisiero.

At the time, Llorente said, "As long as Licello is president of the Spanish Football Federation, he will fight for the best interests of both of our clubs." ”

Cerezo and Little Hill naturally will not agree, no matter when, it will always be their own talent that is the most reliable, and Little Hill is the president of the Spanish Football League, which is the most beneficial to Atletico Madrid, not to mention, Atletico Madrid does not need to rely on Valencia to survive, so naturally it will not support Valencia's candidates.

The two sides directly collapsed.

Llorente even threatened that Lisiero's becoming president of the Spanish Football League would bring Atletico Madrid to its decline.

That haughty face is very disgusting.

Llorente ...... Isn't it self-inflicted?

Atletico Madrid led the signing of the TV broadcast agreement, and the ultimate purpose was to allow Little Hill to run for president of the Spanish Football League.

Llorente certainly won't find a reason in himself, he is very angry with Atletico Madrid and gives manager Unai Emery only one instruction - win!

Emery smiled wryly.

Lead Valencia to victory at the Calderón Stadium?

How can it be so easy!

Even Barcelona and Real Madrid didn't do it, they even lost to Atletico Madrid at their own home, so what's so special about Valencia?

Llorente seemed to feel that telling Emery alone was not enough, and two days before the game, he appeared in front of the media and said about the game, "This is where we beat Atletico in Calderón!" We are confident that we will definitely win! Victory will definitely belong to Valencia! As for Atletico...... Prepare them for failure! Then he said something that made the reporter scratch his head, "We will do our best!" That's the price! ”

Price? At what cost?

After the media reporters reported on Llorente's interview, manager Unai Emery had even more headaches.

In Emery's view, if Valencia wants to win away, the most important thing to rely on is not their own strength, but Atletico Madrid's carelessness.

Atletico Madrid have been on a smooth run in all competitions, beating Real Madrid and Barcelona in the league and are on a 59-game unbeaten run, and they are likely to be careless when they host Valencia.

As long as Atletico Madrid is careless, they are likely to lose, and conversely, if Atletico Madrid takes the game very seriously, then it will be too difficult for Valencia to win at the Calderón Stadium.

What is Llorente doing?

When he appeared in front of reporters, he said so arrogantly about 'must win', isn't it specifically to remind Atletico Madrid to be careful?

How to play this game!

If it weren't for the fact that Llorente was the president of the club, Emery would even suspect that this guy was Valencia's mole!

――――

Wan Sheng didn't know that inside Valencia, head coach Emery was dissatisfied with the public statement of the chairman, Llorente, but Llorente's arrogant speech in the media reminded the whole team to pay attention to Valencia.

This reduced him a lot of work.

Since Christmas, Atletico Madrid has been smooth in the league and the Copa del Rey, and the smooth game will make the whole team full of confidence, but also bring the team's impetuous atmosphere, some players will misestimate the strength of the team, resulting in careless problems with the opponent, the whole team did not put Valencia in their eyes before, many players thought, "Since we can beat Real Madrid by a big score, what is Valencia?" 'Even when the game against Valencia was about to start, they didn't care.

Llorente's arrogant statement was timely, almost tantamount to a direct provocation, and it cheered up all the Atletico Madrid players to make sure they look good at Valencia in the game.

Wan Sheng found that he was not used for anything.

Even if many players still believe that Valencia cannot pose a threat to Atletico Madrid, they will give their all in the game, just to teach the arrogant Valencia a lesson and let them know who is the boss in La Liga now.

Wan Sheng was very happy, so he didn't respond anything before the game.

This made some media think too much.

Generally speaking, Wansheng will definitely be the dominant side in the war of words, but the opponent will not speak no matter how provocative the opponent is, so what's going on now? Could it be that there is something internal wrong with Atletico Madrid? Or is Wansheng not confident at all?

Many local Valencian media are constantly speculating, and the more they speculate, the more they feel that Valencia has a high probability of winning.

"No wonder Llorente's confidence is so abundant, as the president of Valencia, he must know some inside information, so he is so confident!"

Some media thought.

In their constant reporting, the day of the game came, and at half past seven in the evening, Calderón Stadium was already full.

Both sides got each other's squads.

When Valencia coach Unai Emery, after seeing the Atletico Madrid squad, his face was a little dark, before the media reported that Raul Garcia has not fully recovered, and Morris is likely not to start the game, he thought it was true, these two players did not play, Valencia's hope of victory was greater, but whether Morris or Raul Garcia were in the squad, it means that they can play in the game.

By the time the game was about to start and the players from both teams came on, Emery's face was even darker.

The situation was worse than he had imagined.

Morris and Raul Garcia started as he expected, but Atletico Madrid's starting formation was a bit incomprehensible.

5131?

Or 4231?

Atletico Madrid had five defenders in the starting line-up, three of whom were centre-backs, namely Raphael Varane, Godin, Thiago Silva, and Atletico Madrid's three outstanding centre-backs all appeared, and in the midfield position, it seemed that Morris was alone.

Is there a centre-back who plays at the back?

Unai Emery thought so, and watched carefully, but unfortunately, he found that the opponent was indeed using three central defenders, and Morris was alone at the front of the back line, taking care of offensive and defensive tasks.

What kind of play is this?

Emery scratched his head, he didn't think that Wansheng would be dizzy, and he used a new formation to play against Valencia, and the opponent must have made adjustments for Valencia.

So...... The other party must have done it on purpose!

The opponent is strengthening the defense in the middle to limit the offensive in the middle of Valencia! (To be continued.) )
