The biggest fanatic in football

When Nuno Santo removed Figueli and sent out Brazilian midfielder Danilo Barbosa, who was under 20 years old, Barcelona coach Luis Enrique already knew that the outcome of this game would not change.

He even gave up the final substitution adjustment and allowed time to reach the last second of injury time.

The referee Laos glanced at the quiet coaching bench and blew the whistle to end the game:

"Dip, drip, drip~~~"

There were still noisy boos in the sky above the Nou Camp.

But the visiting Valencia players took the boos as the best compliment!

[Barcelona fans, they hate us! They are afraid of failure!]

"4:1! Valencia unexpectedly took away a big victory from Camp Nou. This is also the second time they have defeated Barcelona this season!"

Spanish commentator Valdano glanced at the guests in a comfortable mood:

"The next round will be played in a week. Under the current circumstances, do you still think Barcelona has a chance to come back?"

Rivaldo reached out and rubbed his chin, opened his mouth, but finally nodded:

"Football is round and anything can happen. Barcelona still have at least 90 minutes to make up for their mistakes. I believe that with their strength, the current situation will not be more difficult than the night in Istanbul 11 ​​years ago."

Valdano let out a contemptuous laugh:

"I don't remember that the elegant Barcelona would give up their artistic football and learn from those Liverpool people who are wallowing in the mud!"

-

"viva! Long live!"

Amid the cheers of more than 2,000 visiting team fans, Valencia's players were thanking them in the stands for traveling with the team.

Team captain Parejo even raised his arms high and shouted to the supporters:

"In a week, we will kill them again in Mestalla!"

He did not use conventional words such as "defeat" or "conquer", but used the bloody "kill"!

"Kill again!"

The fans cheered louder. Although the Barcelona fans who heard the sound were very angry, they could only lower their heads, speed up and leave the stadium, and then criticized them in their hearts:

【These butchers!】

[They don’t understand the charm of artistic football at all!]

-

"A great victory, this is the charm of football, hahahaha!"

At the post-match press conference, Nuno Santo smiled happily:

"Although there are still 90 minutes of competition a week later, I must admit that we have fully grasped the initiative to advance to the finals!"

A reporter in the audience immediately asked him a question:

"A three-goal lead doesn't seem to be a particularly safe score?"

Nuno's smile did not diminish at all, but instead gained a hint of sarcasm:

"Hahaha, they are three goals ahead, and they have four away goals, and they have also lost the core of the team's defense. Please tell me, with such an advantage, how can I lose?"

Sitting next to him, Li Polo felt like he was looking at an extremely arrogant villain boss...

Sure enough, a reporter from World Sports News immediately gave him a negative example:

"We all know that in the football world, there is never a shortage of cases where people fell behind by a big score in the first round, but then made a shocking comeback in the second round, such as the Champions League, Deportivo de La Coruna reversed AC Milan in 2004, and Monaco reversed in the same year

Real Madrid, Chelsea reversed Naples in 2012... Don't you think that the current Barcelona, ​​compared to Depor, Monaco, Chelsea, are more capable of reversing?"

Nuno was stunned for a moment, probably because he didn't expect the other party to be so insistent. He, who was not good at verbal exchanges, suddenly got stuck.

Fortunately, there was a press spokesman sitting next to him, and Li Polo unceremoniously opened the microphone in front of him:

"What strength do they have?"

The young defender took out his phone, opened the La Liga standings, and read to everyone:

“First place: Valencia, 57 points;

Second place: Barcelona, ​​53 points.”

He put down his phone and looked at the reporter:

"Why do you think that the second-ranked team can reverse the situation at the home court of the first-ranked team?"

"If they really have this strength, why did they lose so miserably in the first round?"

Li Polo raised four fingers:

"4:0, I remember it very clearly!"

[Negative emotions from the reporter of "World Sports News", 10!]

-

Although Enrique and Iniesta later stated that the team had not given up hope and that there was still hope for the second round, the public opinion in Spain has overwhelmingly believed that:

"Even if Barcelona can score at Mestalla, it will be difficult to reverse the three-goal gap."

"Valencia only needs to defend well, which is enough to ensure that they enter the final of the King's Cup!"

After all...the entire world of football knows that Barcelona's football is art, but art has always been a fragile treasure. If it encounters a strong impact, it will only break into powder.

Perhaps because of the hero of this game, four days later in the 23rd round of La Liga, Barcelona was tied 0:0 by Levante, who was ranked last in the away game...

Obviously they have used all their main strength, but they just can't score a goal!

At almost the same time, Valencia, which was a guest at [Benito Villamarin Stadium], relied on a half-main and half-rotation lineup to easily take 3 points from Real Betis.

Piatti, the Argentine genius who started the game, created a penalty kick in the opponent's penalty area at the beginning. Paco, who had returned from injury, did his best to prevent the hit. After that, the rhythm was completely in the hands of the visiting team.

Mustafi received a red card in the cup, but it did not affect his continued playing in the league. The German central defender, who had suppressed his anger, then used a header to assist Fegulli to expand the score.

In the second half, captain Parejo kicked a full-moon scimitar and showed off to DePaul on the bench:

"Did you see that? The best free kick master in the team will always be your captain!"

Lipolo, who played for 90 minutes, performed mediocrely, and Betis' offense hardly threatened his defensive area - after all, this 16th-ranked team only scored 15 goals in the first 22 rounds of the league.

goals, averaging less than 0.7 goals per game...

Taking into account Mustafi's personal emotions, Lee Polo sacrificed his offensive attributes most of the time and allowed his partner to frequently participate in the offense, demonstrating a rare team spirit.

The Bat Legion, which has scored 60 points, continues to lead the standings, and the point difference between them and second-placed Barcelona has widened to 6 points...

Although Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid both won this round of the league, they are still more than 10 points away from the top spot and cannot shake Valencia's leading position in a short time.

There are still 15 rounds of the league, and a 10-point advantage seems huge, but when you calculate it carefully, it seems like nothing!

After all, in the next 15 rounds, Valencia will have to fight against the "three heroes of the Western Super League" one by one. In order to defend the status of the "Western Super League", they are bound to burst out with unimaginable potential, and Valencia will inevitably encounter

Unprecedented powerful resistance!

But this is all a story for another day. The nearest opponent will be Atletico Madrid in a month's time. By then, all the injured will have recovered and it will be a home game. Valencia will not be afraid of Simeone's gang!

Before that, Nuno Santo and Li Polo will have to bring their Copa del Rey semi-finals to a complete end at the Mestalla!

"External public opinion is right. We have such a huge advantage, why should we compete with Barcelona in attack?"

During daily training sessions, Nuno stroked his beard:

"We will fight back against them!"

【Original Football in History】

In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals in the 2015-16 season, Valencia challenged Barcelona away. Suarez scored twice in the first half, Messi expanded the score, Neymar missed a penalty kick, and Mustafi was controversial in the 45th minute.

Red card sent off.

In the second half, Suarez and Messi scored twice respectively, and finally completely defeated the Bat Army with a disparity of 7:0, making the second round meaningless.
