Chapter 261 This Is Absolutely An Accident!

The away game reversed Bayern Munich [-]-[-], and Valencia returned to Spain non-stop.

Three days later, the team set off for Barcelona to challenge the Espanyol away.

Su Dong was put on the bench in this game because he played the whole game in the UEFA Champions League knockout round in midweek.

Aimar, Vicente and Mista all started, with Mohamed Sissoko replacing captain Albelda in midfield.

Valencia took the lead in the first half with Mista scoring a goal, but the Spaniard equalized the score in the No. 705 minute of the second half with captain Raul Tamudo. After that, neither team could score again.

Su Dong also got a rest in this game and did not play.

That's the benefit of having enough head start.

The most important thing for Valencia now is to maintain the state of two-line combat, especially Sudong, not to be too tired.

But this game once again made everyone see one thing clearly. Without Su Dong, Valencia really can't do it.

…………

…………

A week later, the Mestagna Stadium.

In the seventh round of La Liga No.20, Valencia played against Deportivo at home.

Only 7 minutes into the game, Valencia vice-captain Baraja stood on the penalty spot.

I saw him gently place the football on the white spot in the penalty area, and stepped on the turf around the football a few times before stepping back, trying to compact the area around the football so that it will be smoother when he waits for the free throw.

Stepping back, Baraja looked back at his teammates outside the penalty area.

Su Dong gave him a thumbs up as a sign of encouragement; Vicente, Aimar and others showed him their index fingers, representing the number one, which made Baraja shake his head with a wry smile.

It's really hard to describe such a group of teammates!

The penalty kick has not yet been penalized, and I am thinking about treating guests to dinner. I really think I can't score a penalty?
Don't look at it, how high is Labor's penalty kick rate this season?
Facts have proved that it was definitely an accident to miss two penalty kicks in a single game last season!
TNND, let you bastards pull your ass with a knife tonight, open your eyes!
……

Thinking of this, Baraja took a deep breath and ran forward with confidence.

I saw the vice-captain of Valencia quickly kicked the football, and the ball quickly shot to the lower left corner of the goal.

Deportivo goalkeeper Molina has been jumping around in front of the goal, exercising his muscles and bones. After seeing Baraja's kick, he quickly flew to the left and directly saved Baraja's push.

There was a burst of exclamation in the audience.

Baraja rushed forward immediately and wanted to make another shot, but was caught up by the opponent's defender and made a clearance.

"Dug!" Baraja grabbed the head with both hands, wishing he could unscrew it.

Vicente, Aimar and others all looked at Baraja with a smile on their faces, and pointed out their index fingers again.

This represents a meal!

Valencia's penalty kick rate this season is so high that there is a rule in the locker room that whoever misses a penalty kick will treat the whole team to a big meal.

As the number one penalty shooter, Baraja said he was helpless.

"It was purely an accident, he reacted too quickly." Baraja defended himself.

The teammates shook their heads in disbelief.

"If you don't believe me, ask Su." Baraja felt aggrieved.

Everyone looked at Su Dong one after another.

As the team's top scorer, Su Dong's shooting skills are quite good, thanks to the fact that he has fully practiced [ball soil] shooting and related attributes.

"Want to hear the truth?" Su Dong asked.

"Say." Baraja looked confident.

"Frankly speaking, this penalty kick neither has the angle, nor the strength and speed of the kick. I guess it is still too stable, and the psychological pressure is high." Su Dong has never liked to talk about those falsehoods, and he just dumped the dry stuff.

Barahah was at a loss for words.

What Su Dong said was right, he was indeed under some psychological pressure when he made free throws.

It's not because of a bet with his teammates, but because of his own pursuit.

"Captain, we deeply understand that you are under too much pressure to take penalty kicks, but this big meal cannot be avoided!" Su Dong arranged to pat Baraja on the shoulder, turned and left.

The other teammates also "comforted" Baraja in the same way, which made the Valencia vice-captain curse in his heart.

Isn't it just a missed penalty?
As for?
……

Indeed, with Valencia's current situation, not to mention missing a penalty kick, even if they lose a game, everyone thinks it's normal.

No one is ever victorious general!

Deportivo is no longer the Super Deportivo team that competed with Valencia at the beginning of the season. After losing points in a row, this team has basically lost the qualification to hit the championship. It is currently third in the league, and it is not a big problem to keep the top four.

Because of this, the two teams played more harmoniously in this game.

But no one thought that after 10 minutes, Valencia got another penalty.

It's really not the referee's care, but the opposing defender Mauro Silva had to chase Su Dong from behind. If he couldn't catch up, he tackled the ball directly in the penalty area.

Putting a shovel behind him, just at this point, is directly a red card and a penalty kick.

Once again Baraja tried to come forward, but this time Albertini stopped him.

"Forget it, your feet are not going well tonight."

"No, it's very smooth. I warmed up just now, and now..."

Albertini immediately clicked Vicente's general, indicating that he would take the penalty kick.

As a result, Vicente achieved it overnight, one to zero!

After turning around, the Valencia winger shook his head innocently towards Baraja, as if to say, is it difficult to score a penalty?It's not difficult at all!
Baraja has the heart to kill people!

……

Less than 5 minutes after the penalty kick, Valencia once again planned a wave of offensive.

After Vicente sent a free kick from the left, Su Dong nodded in the back and hit the goal. As a result, the ball hit the intersection of the post and the crossbar, and missed an excellent opportunity.

After that, Valencia relied on the double advantage of the home court and the number of players, and beat Deportivo hard.

Before the end of the first half, Vicente sent a direct pass from the left rib. After Su Dong got the ball, he passed the ball and broke through.
This is also Su Dong's No.20 eight league goals this season!

He was just two goals away from his [-]-goal goal.

After changing sides to fight again in the second half, Benitez quickly replaced Sudong.

Su Dong still needs to start in the UEFA Champions League knockout round in the middle of the week. When the overall situation is settled, there is no need to let him stay on the court.

Vicente then scored another goal, scoring twice, and veteran Juan Sanchez, who came off the bench for Sudong, then scored a goal.

In the end, Valencia beat Deportivo [-]-[-] at home.

……

The victory over Deportivo is certainly something to be happy about, but Aimar was injured again, which made Valencia feel helpless.

As the season progressed, the injuries of the Argentine midfielder also began to increase.

He had just recovered, came back to play two games, and was injured again.

Against Deportivo, he only played in the first half before having to come off with an injury at half-time.

Then the team doctor took him to the hospital for testing, and he was still a muscle strain, and he must be absent from the game against Bayern Munich.

The early part of the season was fine. Since Christmas, Aimar's frequent injuries have something to do with his fatigue.

Nuno Cruz believes that this has a lot to do with Aimar's lack of physical training.

However, Argentines are the most resistant to gyms.

…………

…………

Three days later, the Mestagna Stadium.

Valencia hosts Bayern Munich in the Champions League round of [-] knockout round.

The Bat Legion once again set up a [-] formation, and Su Dong and Mista started together.

Losing [-]-[-] at home, Hitzfeld had no choice at all away.

The old coach of Bayern still sought stability in the first half, trying to make Valencia take the initiative to play, but Benitez was not stupid, and his pragmatic personality made him adopt defensive tactics.

Therefore, the entire first half was very dull.

Perhaps seeing that Benitez had no desire to attack at all, Hitzfeld had to take the initiative to attack after the start of the second half.

Who made them fall behind one to two at home in the first leg?
Continue to be bored like this, time is on Valencia's side!
Bayern Munich attacked decisively, Valencia defended and counterattacked.

There is really not much suspense in the rest of the game.

When it comes to defense, Valencia doesn't say anything else. Looking at the entire European football, except for Juventus and AC Milan in Serie A, all other teams are basically not enough!
So, in 9 minutes, Valencia hit a quick counterattack.

Su Dong was very righteous this time. After dribbling the ball to the 30-meter area, he attracted the attention of three defensive players and distributed the ball to the unguarded Mista, who broke through Valencia's goal.

Twenty minutes later, it was Valencia's counterattack again. Vicente and Sudong both rushed to the forefront. The left forward sent a wonderful pass from the front of the penalty area.

Two to zero!
The total score is four to one!

Valencia successfully eliminated Bayern Munich and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

…………

…………

On the weekend, the No.20 in La Liga had eight rounds, and Su Dong took a rest again.

Valencia challenge Celta Vigo away.

Antić's team has just failed in the Champions League knockout round, and it is unbelievable that Celta Vigo has played 27 rounds in La Liga so far, but they are still sinking in the relegation zone and cannot extricate themselves.

This is simply a miracle!

What an interesting scene that the top [-] teams in the Champions League are in the relegation zone of La Liga?

If you accidentally downgrade, it will definitely make people smash their eyes.

Although Valencia is very sympathetic to Vigo Celta, it is still up to itself to relegation. The Bat Legion has to play the role of cold-blooded and brutal BOSS on Vigo Celta's relegation road.

Two to zero, Valencia defeated Celta Vigo in an away game with Rufete's brace.

……

After 28 rounds, Real Madrid suffered two consecutive draws.

Valencia's lead has expanded to ten, which is already quite a disparity.

With only ten rounds left in the league, this gap can almost ensure Valencia wins the championship.

Both Real Madrid and Deportivo have performed poorly. On the contrary, the fourth-ranked Barcelona has been winning consecutive games recently. Except for losing to Valencia, this team swept La Liga.

……

Between the eighth round of No.20 and the ninth round of No.20 in La Liga, there was a one-week rest period.

Valencia had a rare two-day vacation, and Su Dong also took this opportunity to meet a man he had admired for a long time.
